Again. Thanks, David. That's the sordid sorta expansion of the concept I was fishing for. It just feels too on point today. Societal symptoms. I went into a little more detail in a post down on the bottom:

"...expressed by Bezmenov sometime in the early '80s:

1• Demoralize  2• Destabilize  3• Crisis  4• Normalization. The calculated prescription of divide & conquer apparently put patiently into action some 30-40 years prior. Does prompt me to ask: Who feels like we're in what stage? And why? ..."

I've heard the original Bezmenov broadcast. And read a deeper explanation of the stages. You of-course expanded on "Demoralization." Really has been too easy it seems. Altho many generations of patience WAs the mantra. A deeply creepy sorta discipline. Ringing in dark ages on purpose. 

Fck!!

Also i recall a black n white super 8 film in a writing class @ Antelope Valley College (a half a lifetime ago) of a, oh, gonna guess 1940s-'50s Soviet agent. Clean cut high n tight, seriously dangerous lookin fella. Clearly setting forth a longterm intent.

((sigh)) In my heart n gut I know we could've outsmarted the lot. Outsmarted ourselves even. Solid philosophy has been with us all along. But we uh, well, ..you know. Marketing.

Maybe we ..still ..will. Could surprise the lot. & ourselves. Wouldn't suck none.
