Below is a 3-part video series in which I discuss how bankers have used the concept of ideological subversion to brainwash hundreds of millions of retail investors into accepting harmful propaganda that allows them to build their bottom line at the expense of the investors while simultaneously convincing investors to ignore alternate behavior that would be beneficial to their financial welfare. Ex-KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov explained the process of ideological subversion as a four stage process utilized by the Soviet Union to brainwash its citizens during the cold war: (1) Demoralization; (2) Destabilization; (3) Crisis; and (4) Normalization.
I have slightly modified the time frames of the four above stages explained by Bezmenov to fit the model that bankers have cleverly executed against the people over the past several decades. The process of ideological subversion ensures that billions of people are unable to change their behavior and take sensible tactics to defend the welfare of their families despite being presented with an abundance of evidence that challenges and refutes their current harmful belief system.
The inability of the masses today to reach sensible conclusions even in the face of abundant evidence is the reason why we still have ludicrous debates in the media today about signs of economic recovery in the US and Europe despite an abundance of evidence that contradicts such a conclusion. The inability of the masses to reach sensible conclusions when struck over the head with cold hard facts is the reason why today we still have ludicrous debates regarding the purchasing power stability of gold versus fiat currencies. The inability of the masses to reach sensible conclusions today is why commercial investment firms can still sell the masses the kool-aid of strong fundamentals as the number one reason behind rising stock markets when creative accounting 101 is the primary driver behind improved earnings statements for almost global banks worldwide. The inability of the masses to formulate logical opinions is the reason why hundreds of millions of investors today still subscribe to one of the worst investment strategies ever — diversification. And a deliberate process called ideological subversion executed by bankers in the open for all to see can explain all of the aforementioned aberrant behavior.
Perhaps a brief explanation of how ideological subversion is achieved can awaken the sleeping zombies from the destructive forces of financial fraud that bankers are openly committing today and help aid them in taking their first step towards choosing truth over propaganda.
