YURI BEZMENOV: Demoralization is the first stage of ideological subversion, and it involves the systematic undermining of a society’s moral and ethical foundations.

Yes & amen 🙏🏻 🇺🇸
Yuri Bezmenov's KGB career was in India stirring up racial strife, training these footsoldiers to come to USA and utterly destroy. BRICS is BRICS. Cold War never ended.

Wikipedia explains, 

Tomas David Schuman, Yuri's alias, was a Soviet journalist for Novosti Press Agency (APN). In 1970, as a member of the Soviet mission in New Delhi, India, Bezmenov defected to the West and was re-settled in Canada pursuant to an arrangement between US and Canadian security agencies 

Stage 1: Demoralization

Demoralization is the first stage of ideological subversion, and it involves the systematic undermining of a society’s moral and ethical foundations. Bezmenov explained that this process typically takes 15–20 years, roughly the time needed to educate one generation. During this stage, foreign agents seek to infiltrate educational institutions, media, and cultural platforms to influence the minds of young people. The goal is to instill a sense of disillusionment, moral relativism, and a rejection of traditional values.

In the demoralization phase, individuals are conditioned to question their own cultural identity, history, and societal norms. The emphasis is on creating a sense of instability and disorientation within the target population. This sets the stage for the subsequent phases of ideological subversion.
