It's unbelievable to me how few Americans are aware of the Communist propaganda war against us and how it is still hurting us.

The USSR may have broken up, but the Cold War is not over.

And we seem to be losing

I hope it's not too late

This is an excellent documentary, as are all the ones I've watched from Notes From The Past. The quality of research, the narration and the summation are exemplary. I am very much looking forward to parts 2 and 3.

What exactly is fake?

Bezmenov. He's a fake actor. Probably not a KGB defector. Nor did he tell the truth about what the USSR's aims were. A person who watches the propaganda clips provided curtesy of the John Birch Society with Bezmenov is, ironically, being propagandized. It was a neocon psyop.

We are aware of such claims. The point of the video was to highlight how 'communists' (Marcuse, et al) advanced a destructive ideology in America. It's interlinked with liberalism (Karl Popper, et al) and neocons or more accurately 'Straussians' (Irving Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz). These will be covered in future videos. There is a common denominator among these three.

If Bezmenov is a fake then his propaganda has done a good job of exposing the real demoralization that has come from critical theory.

No, he hasn't. Let me ask you: what were his suggestions to the American people for combatting subversion?
