I don't want to live a life filled with Ozzy Lyrics.

With some lessons, you need two chances to learn.

Getting old is weird, and I don't want to live in fear.

Yuri Bezmenov was a russian journlist who defected to the USA. He explained a strategy of the KGB. HE said this in 1984.

It was called either ideological subversion, or active measures.

What it basically means is 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 interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. It's a great brainwashing process that goes very slow and is divided in four basic stages. 

The first one being demoralization; it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students  The ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism 

What Is The Result?

The result you can see, most of the people who were  "half-baked intellectuals" are now occupying positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational system; you are stuck with them, and you cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated.

They're programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information.

Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.

To reverse this you have you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of common sense.

The demoralization process in the United States is completed already. For the last 25 years, actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralisation now reaches such areas where experts, would even dream of such tremendous success.

Most of it is done by Americans to Americans, thanks to a lack of moral standards.
