Yuri Bezmenov was a journalist/KGB agent in the Soviet Union. He specialized in the tactics of idealogical subversion (the destruction and take over of a target nation with little to no overt military action). He defected from the Soviet Union and fled to Canada. He TELLS US what he knows about Communist Subversion and what to watch out for as a non-communist nation. Below is one of his charts laying out the Areas of interest, Methods used to subvert those areas, and the Results a subverter hopes to achieve.
Don't underestimate the value of the information Mr. Bezmenov speaks about. It is foremost in the battle against tyranny and the preservation of individual freedom.
FULL LENGTH SEMINAR
As you watch this, make a mental note of how many things have already been accomplished that he speaks about? Remember, this seminar is from 1983...
How much do we really need police? Now before you freak out and start yelling just take a deep breath, step outside the normal line of thinking, and consider this objectively and logically. Think about what policemen do and ask yourself, "could neighborhood volunteers do that?" Police are not there to protect you or to prevent crimes. If they were, there would need to be one policemen for every person; like bodyguards. Instead, they mainly investigate crimes and help control traffic problems (accidents, construction, and mainly write tickets). Contrary to what we are led to think, I believe police departments are primarily installed to generate revenue for the city. I mean, we already have elected sheriffs who make arrests, protect the rights and property of citizens, and are the custodial keepers of those who break the law right? Lets be very clear about something. I am not "anti-police" and I have a great deal of respect for those who do that job. I am simply "pro-citizen" and "pro-less taxes" and above all "pro-freedom." I happen to believe that we Americans are quite capable of rising to the occasion to accomplish something on our own, especially when the need is dire. Remember, in a free society we are not guaranteed the right to safety. We are however, guaranteed the right to our freedoms, including the freedom to adequately protect ourselves and each other as we see fit. Hopefully even if you don't agree with me you don't want to tear my head off completely. If you've read this far you understand that I have at least thought out my point of view. Trust me, there will be plenty of enmity towards me when I talk about why we don't need school buses... but that's for another time.

RULES SHMULES!
(This post is based on a thought by my brother)
I find it odd to hear people say things like: "I am anti-gun."
If you are playing a board game like monopoly (or maybe Settlers of Catan), do you ever hear any players say, "I am anti-rules"? Obviously not, for if you were "anti-rules" you would never have been allowed to sit down and play. Now, I do understand the frustration when all your properties are mortgaged and you're hoping NOT to land on Marvin Gardens which has four houses on it. At this point you might be wishing that the rules could be altered in your favor. However, you didn't have a problem with the rules when the game started and everyone's opportunities were equal.
Our rights (rules) are found in the U.S. Constitution. We don't just get to change the rules because we don't like them, or because something happened that changed our situation, or because "the majority of Americans want blah blah blah."
Contrary to what most of us were taught, we do NOT live in a Democracy: which is basically mob (majority) rule. Fortunately for all of us we live in a Republic under the rule of law, which protects us from the whims of changes in societal thought. If you want to live under a different set of rules... go live somewhere else. I heard North Korea is nice. They have virtually no gun violence.
