Vladimir Lenin once uttered an ominous warning for our time “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them”. Even Lenin had no idea that a devout follower of his communist doctrines would ever become the President of the United States. He thought the Soviet Union would topple America from the inside. However, it isn’t a Russian communist who is destroying America, but rather it is a domestic communist, a Manchurian candidate and his name is Barak Hussein Obama and he is serving his third term as President as he manipulates the demented BIden. Obama is still tying the noose around the neck of all freedom-loving Americans.
Former Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov, a well renowned media/propaganda expert defected to the United States, in 1970, and subsequently exposed the KGB’s subversive tactics against American society. Yuri Bezmenov has conducted a number of interviews in which he explains how Marxist ideology is deconstructing America’s values by controlling the media and this would ultimately serve to demoralize the country, destabilize the economy, and provoke crises in order to Sovietize the United States.
There are a couple of important distinctions to make here. First, I have researched the covert, multi-dimensional plan to take down America. I have accumulated a mountain of documentation. However, the Left is trying to cover their tracks. Most of the following Soviet defectors who warned us the plan to take down America through covert means, wrote books, best-selling books. However, if one clicks on some of the links, they will see the books have been cancelled or the link has been removed all together. These were major works that were widely read. Someone does not want you to be able to fully research the plan that is in place.
While in the United States, Lunev''s mission involved gathering intelligence information about America’s defenses and recommending Russian war strategies against America. Some of Lunev’s information came to light, when in the 1997, he published his bestselling book Through the Eyes of the Enemy. In the book, Lunev reports that Russia’s military, despite “losing the cold war”, continues in its war preparations which are designed to conquer the United States by stealth. more
Similar threats against conservative Americans have been made by the current Vice-President, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. Should we not take these threats seriously, especially in light of Larry Grathwohl's warning that transcends time? Pelosi has invoked the language of genocide with her infamous "we have enemies within quote." The Democrats have created an us and them paradigm and it is not going to end well.
There is another distinction that needs to be covered here. Although the covert plans to take down America, were originally Russian, these strategies and been taken over and adapted to modern times by the Chinese. For example, in the following paragraphs, Yuri Bezmenov described how the media would be used to destroy the mral fabric of the country. Now it is the Chinese. Only a few short years ago, the internet was alive with stories about CHICOM human rights violations within their country. Today, if one dares to publish this truth, they are deplatformed. Why? Because, in many cases the Chinese have taken over the movement and have acquired major American media, especially in Hollywood.
