Recently, I watched an interesting video about psychological warfare.
There the former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov (also known as Tomas Schuman) explains the ways hostile subversive tactics work.
According to Schuman, the traditional battles on battlefield are a thing of the past. As stated by Sun Tzu centuries ago, the perfect outcome of a war is to defeat an enemy without a fight. The best way to do it is in the way of a mass brain washing.
Schuman describes four stages of subversion:
- Demoralisation [of a target nation]
- Escalation [of created conflicts]
- Crisis
- "Normalisation"
When you listen to his lecture, you will better understand various events happening today :
