If Trump makes you nervous this will not surprise you

Ran into this story while reading the comments on Wonkette and I thought it was important enough to repost here. Here is an interview in 1984 from a recent KGB defector named Alexandrovich Bezmenov, who defected to Canada in 1970. What stands out is his warning to America that the KGB has been waging a PsyOps warfare campaign against the United States, and he nearly perfectly predicts what is happening today vis a vis Putin and Trump. 

A Chilling Prediction From a KGB Defector in the 1980's

In 1984, Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin from which much can be learned today. His most chilling point was that there’s a long-term plan put in play by Russia to defeat America through psychological warfare and “demoralization”. It’s a long game that takes decades to achieve but it may already be bearing fruit.

Bezmenov made the point that the work of the KGB mainly does not involve espionage, despite what our popular culture may tell us. Most of the work, 85% of it, was “a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare.”

What does that mean? Bezmenov explained that the most striking thing about ideological subversion is that it happens in the open as a legitimate process. “You can see it with your own eyes,” he said. The American media would be able to see it, if it just focused on it. 

He goes on to describe how this PsyOps campaign was aimed at literally changing the perception of reality through ideological subversion so that the target would literally be unable to discern reality despite an abundance of information or authentic proof. That even despite being shown clear evidence of something, would not believe their eyes. This he calls a process of “demoralization”. 

Here’s how he described the “demoralized” person:
