In a 1980's interview with G. Edward Griffin, Yuri Bezmenov, KGB defector and expert in propaganda, said the subversion methods employed in the U.S. by the KGB were designed to "change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that - despite the abundance of information - no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country." This multi-stage process requires media complicity/mediocrity, control of educational policy, widespread corruption in politics and industry, and the unlimited money/credit of the international bankers who funded and controlled the USSR. http://www.henrymakow.com/yuri_bezmenov_-too_important_t.html
