IF YOU HAVE NOT VIEWED MY PREVIOUS POST ON IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION, CLICK THE LINK ON THE LEFT CALLED "IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION (INTO)" SO WHAT I SAY BELOW MAKES SENSE.

While I understand the basic definitions of the words, Ideological Subversion, Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, Normalization....To gain an even better understanding, I looked up Mr. Bezmenov's terms on dictionary.com.

NORMALIZATION:

Notice one of the definitions of IDEOLOGY quotes "Speculation that is imagery or visionary". To me this seems like the liberals in America. There are many other connects to be made between the Bezmenov interview and the America that we now live in. See if you can pick out some more.
