Only Reagan and Trump Understand America
American Thinker.com ^ | August 16, 2020 | Steve Feinstein

There was a fascinating interview with Soviet KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov in 1984 in which he foretold in unerring detail the exact social and political scenarios that would exist in America in the near future. His contention was that the KGB was involved primarily not in espionage, but in an activity that he called "ideological subversion."

According to Bezmenov, the KGB's goal was to take down America by slowly changing the minds of the population from within. He said the Soviet Union was producing Marxist-Leninist thoughts that are "being pumped into the heads of American students without [those thoughts] being counterbalanced by American/capitalistic values." Bezmenov posits that the children of the '60s are now the adults, in positions of power, and "you are stuck with them, you cannot get rid of them, you cannot change their minds even in the presence of facts, even if you show them that black is black and white is white."

It was incredibly fortuitous that Ronald Reagan was president when he was. Watching this interview, one shudders to think of the permanent damage that would have been done by a second Carter term.

Bezmenov cites Walter Mondale as the figure who will "promise all kinds of goodies and freebies, regardless of whether he can actually deliver them." You could substitute any current-day Democrat for "Mondale," and it would be the exact same thing.

Whether the Soviets or China, the point is clear: as Beznemov says, "unless you wake up, you only have several years. The time bomb is ticking, the disaster is coming and unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to."

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama may have pushed us beyond what even President Trump can pull US back from.

“Socialist HATE Capitalism, but LOVE capital... they want it all!” - Yuri Bezmenov (alias Tomas Schuman)

Heard on a radio interview with the late Marlin Maddoux... not long after Bezmenov’s defection.

“In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them. Hence, to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence. Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”

— The Art Of War, III:1-2
The USSR tried to subvert the USA on this principle, and after they fell, Red China continued the process.

The first George Bush... Reagan's biggest mistake..

Trump cannot bring back the country by himself...

Democrats and GOP want him gone...there all living the high life in CORUPT DC

The only ones that can save the country are the moderate democrats in the swing states..

If Trump is elected he needs to take over the GOP and change it to the MAGA party and go after democrats and blacks

He is doing it now but the GOP is not put in much effort...

Where are the senate and house members...a sleep

You are correct, most of the elected GOP want Trump gone as much as the Democrats do.
He has disrupted the biggest bipartisan project of the last 30 years, turning the USA into North Mexico.

What moderate democrats? There is no such animal at this point in history, at least not enough of them to make a difference. Obama represented the Marxist takeover of the Democrat Party, and I have no doubt that he and ValJar the Evil are running the Democrat sh*t show taking place in Democrat-run cities.

But, like you said, other than Trump and a small number of elected officials, where is the GOP? Most of them are mute, which has been their default position since 2006 or so.

“Only Reagan and Trump Understand America”

The only two Presidents in recent times that actually cared/care about America.

This article is right on the money.

If Hillary had won we would be past the point of no return now. Probably 2 years ago.

Voters, not politicians. Democrat politicians have moved far to the left of a lot of their voters. Those voters need to drive the Left out of control of their party because at some point the Democrats will retake the White House. The country was lucky to survive Obama. It may not be that lucky again.
