"The first stage is called "demoralization" which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve. According to the former KGB agent, that is the minimum number of years it takes to re-educateone generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country. Bezmenov claimed this generation was already "contaminated" by Marxist-Leninist values.Demoralization is a process that is "irreversible". It would take another generation and another couple of decades to get the people to think differently and return to their patriotic values, claimed the agent.Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is "destabilization". During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the nation, considerably weakening it.The third stage would be "crisis".It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis, explained Bezmenov. The crisis would bring "a violent change of power, structure, and economy" and will be followed by the last stage, "normalization." That's when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.This will happen to your nation unless it gets rid of people who will bring it to a crisis, warned Bezmenov. What's more "if people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing ever can help your nation," adding, "You may kiss goodbye to your freedom."~Yuri Bezmenov ("How to brainwash a nation")https://youtu.be/bX3EZCVj2XA
