“Exposure to true information does not matter anymore.

A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information.
The facts tell nothing to him.

Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures.
Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp,
he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.

When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that.
That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”

“Anger, surprisingly, often follows social hierarchies. Many people easily express anger toward those who are less powerful—a waiter, a child, a junior employee—but suppress it when mistreated by someone more powerful, such as a boss, police officer, or a government body.”

“My dear friends, I think you are in big trouble. Whether you believe it or not, you are at war. And you may lose this war very soon, together with all your affluence and freedoms, unless you start defending yourselves. I call it World Communist Aggression... This war of Communist World Aggression is not fought against some mythological "capitalists" as Communist propaganda claims. No, my dear friends, this war is fought against you personally.

The driving force of this war has very little to do with natural aspirations of people for better lives and greater freedoms. If, at all, these aspirations are being used and taken advantage of by the manipulators and progenitors of the war. The real driving force of this war of aggression is ideology. Something you cannot eat, wear or store for a "rainy day". An integral part of this war of ideology is ideological subversion: the process of changing the perception of reality in the minds of millions of peoples all over the world. The late comrade Andropov, the former head of the Soviet KGB, called this war of Communist aggression, "the final struggle for the minds and hearts of the people".

The art of duping the masses into doing things to their own disadvantage and making them believe it is "the will of people" is as ancient as mankind itself.

The essence of subversion is best expressed in the famous Marxist slogan, if you substitute "proletarians" for a more appropriate word: "Useful idiots" of the world unite! To achieve the desired effect, the subverter must first make idiots out of normal people, and divide them, before turning the people into a homogenized mass of useful and united idiots. Tanks and missiles may or may not be needed at final stage. For the time being they are simply the means of terrorising people into inaction and submission.

500 years before Christ, the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu formulated the principle of subversion this way.
1. Cover with ridicule all of the valid traditions in your opponent's country.
2. Implicate their leaders in criminal affairs and turn them over to the scorn of their populace at the right time.
3. Disrupt the work of their government by every means:
4. Do not shun the aid of the lowest and most despicable individuals of your enemy's country.
5. Spread disunity and dispute among the citizens.
6. Turn the young against the old.
7. Be generous with promises and rewards to collaborators and accomplices.

Sound familiar? About 2500 years later we can read this very same instruction in a secret document, allegedly authored by the Communist International for their "young revolutionaries". The document is titled "Rules of Revolution":
1. Corrupt the young, get them interested in sex, take them away from religion. Make them superficial and enfeebled.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial issues of no importance.
3. Destroy people's faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
4. Always preach democracy, but seize ruthlessly as possible.
power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagances, destroy its credit. produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government towards such disorders.
7. Cause breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety. self-restraint, faith in the pledged word.

I cannot vouch for authenticity of this document, which, according to American conservative media, was captured by the Allied forces after WW II in defeated Germany, in Dusseldorf. But I can assure you, that these "rules" are almost a literal interpretation of those "theories and practices" which I learned from my KGB superiors and colleagues within the 'Novosti' Press Agency.”
