Andie Brownlow Warns The Soviet Strategy For American Collapse Is Succeeding

Can the United States of America be destroyed by an enemy that ceased to exist nearly twenty years ago? Andie Brownlow's piece in The American Thinker reminds us that the strategy of Soviet-led worldwide communism was not to dismantle the United States by invasion, but by incremental doses of Marxist-influenced policy. This didn't start with Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama. It didn't start with SDS in the 1960s. This has been going on for a century. These ideas have been fostered by useful idiots in high places since the so-called Progressive Movement.

Brownlow's piece is based on information provided to the west by a former Soviet journalist.

Yuri Bezmenov, aka Tomas Schuman, was a Soviet journalist and propaganda specialist for the KGB in 1965. A few years later, disgusted with what he was being asked to do for the KGB in India, he defected to Canada. He began to publically warn about the tactics of Soviet psychological warfare. No one knows for sure what has become of Mr. Schuman; it's rumored that he is now deceased.

Mr. Schuman explained that although Hollywood glorifies Soviet espionage and James Bond-style activity, in actuality only 10 to15% of the KGB's time was devoted to covert activity. The remaining 85 to 90% was spent on a four-step process called "Ideological Subversion."

The four steps in the process are:
1. Demoralization.
2. Destabilization.
3. Crisis.
4. Normalization.

Brownlow picks up Schuman's explanation of the demoralization process.

Mr. Schuman explains Demoralization as a 10 to 30 year process:

[To] educate a generation to expose them to the ideology of the enemy: Marxism, Leninism...without being challenged by American values.

The goal is six-fold:

1) Destroy the religion of the enemy; mock and discredit it. Promote corrupt alternatives and cults.

2) Insure the disruption of education. Distract from learning constructive and pragmatic subjects and replace them with studies on frivolous topics.

3) Destroy social ties and impede bargaining and conflict resolution. Bring in bureaucracy and dependence on authority.

4) Institute power structuring around unelected bureaucrats and the media.

5) Destroy labor relations by mediating employee /employer interaction. Create friction and oppositional relationships.

6) Warp law, order and morality. Demonize the police and those upholding the law. Make the bad guy look like a victim of society; justify his actions.

Are you getting the picture? Do these goals for demoralizing a stable republic sound like anything you have witnessed in recent decades? It might be time for the Nostradamus detectives to look at something more recent and more dangerous in terms of breaking down America. The social, educational, economic and moral changes of the previous decades have not been accidental. It is no accident that the radical Left is always to connected to these movements.

Even something as legitimate as the civil rights movement was fouled by Marxist influences who were more interested in adding Blacks to their anti-American coalition than in improving the lives and opportunities of Black Americans. The current political scene demonstrates how this works. Just listen to Al Sharpton, Je$$e Jackson and other influential Black leaders compare bans on same-sex marriage to the days of Jim Crow or even to slavery. This attitude is not consistent with most Blacks. Look at Black so-called "leaders" when it comes to school policy. No matter how poorly urban schools perform they support the education bureaucracy, dumbed-down curriculum, fluff courses, and accuse any demand for rigor as being based in "racism." I can't speak for Black Americans, but I would guess if you asked Black parents they would want their child to learn to read, learn to write competently, learn to use numbers effectively, and be given the skills for adult success.

Be sure to read the rest of Andie Brownlow's piece, "From Russia With No Love." Much of the Leftist plan for America has come to pass. We have to understand, and make our friends and neighbors understand, that politics are no longer a series of parlor games between rival fraternities. The thirst for government power we are now witnessing is a fight for America's soul. We have a choice. We either return to being the land of liberty, the world's last best hope, or we become just another footnote in history, a great power that gave in to the failed ideologies of mass dependence and worship of the state.

Big Media Whines About Sarah Palin's Farewell Speech

Sarah Palin gave her farewell speech as Governor of Alaska on Sunday and, of course, the focus on the speech was her smackdown of Big Media. Don't get me wrong, they deserved the smackdown and their response proves they still don't get it. From Palin's speech:

And first, some straight talk for some, just some in the media because another right protected for all of us is freedom of the press, and you all have such important jobs reporting facts and informing the electorate, and exerting power to influence. You represent what could and should be a respected honest profession that could and should be the cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends on you, and that is why, that's why our troops are willing to die for you. So, how 'bout in honor of the American soldier, ya quit makin' things up.

Big Media has been apoplectic since those words passed her lips. "How dare she question them?" "What did we do to her?" "We just report the news." Not a word is said as Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama attacks FoxNews, talk radio, and Conservative pundits. However, when Sarah Palin challenged the credibility of Big Media all hell broke loose. In their eyes, it isn't a lie unless they choose to report it (just ask Dan Rather).

In Big Media's insulated echo chamber, they all dislike Palin because she didn't go to the right schools, doesn't represent socialist ideology, and doesn't pander to the political and social elites. Katie, Wolf, "Stretch Gregory, Stephanopolous, Brian, Charlie and the rest of the arrogant talking heads can sneer at Palin and her supporters, but those are the people who are no longer watching those slimey blowhards. REAL Americans don't care what these news readers think of Palin or of them. Flyover America gets it. They know CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and MSNBC newscasts have all the legitimacy of a Vince McMahon-produced WWE program. The fix is in and has been for a long time. Big Media has become a dutiful wing of the DNC. They just repeat what Rahmbo and the Family Guy tell them to say.

While flipping channels and listening to some of the discussion panels a comical pattern of irony developed. One after another, these snobbish clowns trashed Palin for whining about her treatment. Read the text of the speech and judge for yourself how much of it was "whiny." But, they immediately jumped into how unfair her attacks on the media are and how paranoid she is. The buzzword of the Monday morning faxes from the DNC to Big Media must have been "Nixonian." They accused her of sniveling while they moaned about how they just do their job and attacks on them are a return to the days of Tricky Dick and Spiro.

I have written several posts about Palin, so one might get the idea I am in her corner for 2012. They would not be accurate. She certainly understands conservatism. She understands American history and the U.S. Constitution. She understands the American values that still matter in Flyover America, if not in the newsrooms of Big Media. Real Americans are drawn to Sarahcuda. She is one of us. This is especially appealing nine months after we elected a community organizer who does not appreciate American values, is not very bright, and who is attempting to foist every failed policy in human history on my country. He is not one of us; he is a Marxist.

Palin may or may not be the future of the GOP. However, her brand of Conservatism is our only hope. She gets it. Prissy David Frum may think Republicans should always position themselves one step to the right of the Democrats no matter how far to the Left they try to take the country. That is irresponsible, dangerous and politically stupid. The Republican Party needs to be an alternative for those who believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, limited government, individual responsibility, the sovereignty of states and ideals recorded in our Declaration of Independence. If folks want Marxism, they will vote Democrat. The disconnect between the 2006 and 2008 election returns and polls relating to key issues tell the story. America is a Conservative country. The Republican Party abdicated the high ground on so many issues because no matter how many elections they won, they governed as though they had to please Democrats.

Big Media will continue to hate Sarah Palin. That is because they hate the American people. They will never say it, but they see us as a bunch of hayseeds who listen to country music, eat at buffets and prefer pick-up trucks to Priuses. They are the elites and they can't understand why the rabble doesn't just listen to them and do as they are told. They built a celebrity-type groundswell to elect Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama. It was hype not hope. Palin represents the real hope of Real Americans.

States May Flex Their 10th Amendment Muscles on ObamaCare

Finally. After a century of constant usurpations of state authority by the greedy three-headed monster known as the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government, it seems some states may be poised to stand up to the tyrants. In an interview with talk show host Mark Davis, Texas Governor Rick Perry threw down the gauntlet. Perry had earlier supported a pro-10th Amendment which failed in the Texas legislature. At some point, states need to tell the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to pound sand when they attempt to rule as an autonomous national government rather than function as the limited government DEMANDED by the United States Constitution.

The Constitution says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas have tried to point this out to their colleagues over the years. Arizona Congressman John Shadegg has introduced The Enumerated Powers Act (HR450 in the current Congress) for many years which would require that any bill introduced in Congress include a specific reference to where the Constitution allows for the legislation. Much of the on-going Tea Party movement is focused on the general notion that the federal government has exceeded its legitimate functions and has become a tyranny.

One step American Patriots can take against ObamaCare and much of the other nonsense emanating from the Beltway is to let their legislators know that they expect them to follow the Constitution. Tell them to support Shadegg's bill. Emphasize the Constitution's limit on the federal government when you email or call your legislator. Fill letters-to-the-editor and op-ed pages with commentaries about the Constitution. Challenge Leftists-Liberal-Socialist-Democrats to cite the Constitutional legitimacy of their Marxist ideas. The times they are a changin' for the the arrogant Leftists who thought 2008's election was a mandate for socialism. They were wrong and we need to keep the pressure on.
