This defector said nothing new, so he is a bit suspicious from that point of view, but there are some good points made. My comments below however give the reason for my suspicions.
Referring to idealistic leftists:
Griffin: But to eliminate the others, to execute the others? Don’t they serve some purpose; wouldn’t they be the ones you rely on?
Bezmenov: No. They serve [a] purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in [the] United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.
But they may turn into the most bitter enemies of Marxist-Leninists when they come to power. And that’s what happened in Nicaragua. You remember most of these former Marxist-Leninists were either put [in] prison, or one of them split and now he is working against [the] Sandinistas. It happened in Grenada, when Maurice Bishop was—he was already a Marxist—he was executed by a new Marxist, who was more Marxist than this Marxist.
This technique is used by all powers, not just Russia. Consider where this might lead in your neighborhood. Also consider information like this itself as a form of terrorism, to influence the reader in some way to live in timid fear. In other words, invert the meaning of everything you read, and consider if that could instead be true. This provides some measure of objectivity.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was no accident, it was very carefully planned. Russia is currently playing the role of underdog, but it is poised to win (with China) financially, politically and militarily against the West. Russia also purports to have found religion once again, and is poised to win there also, but ten minutes without the rose colored glasses will tell you that this is no genuine spiritual awakening. The Russian Orthodox Church is hopelessly compromised after fifty years of state infiltration.
Because I like... as I said, I am now in your boat. If we sink together, we will sink beautifully together. There is no other place on this planet to defect to.
Not entirely true, but true enough.
