As if he talks about Gaza and Hamas. Every visit of Western journalist to Gaza is closely monitored and escorted by Hamas. The fear is so great that Western media subcontract local journalist, camera crew to work for them and avoid visitation. But even if the local media wanted to report whats going on in Gaza, their families will be in immediate danger from Hamas and characterized as outcast and traitors.
At 6:05 is the TRUTH in American schools with liberal acedemics having Ph.D's, and they act like they know everything just becuase they have a Ph. D. They system is skewd, and fucked!
THEY LACK INTEGRITY because they never acquired nor required it!
As I watch this, I laugh at the pathetic, delusional and supercilious morons of the left that think they've got it so right, and us "plebs" are so wrong. Sadly, they would instantly dismiss Yuri's revelations as lies and/or rantings. The idealistic, indoctrinated Marxist buffoons are going to be the very first ones shot. Talk about useful idiots!
The crap that was so easily pulled over the eyes of our political class here is case-in-point why our CITIZENS need to be in government again, NOT these anti-American people who think that they are smarter and better than we are.
Also his point about foreign diplomats playing along with propaganda is a bit contradictory, they are diplomats for a reason, to be diplomatic. Big deal if they were playing along with a fake wedding, it's not a big deal in the scheme of things, such as avoiding nuclear war for example.
I believe he is spot on about the western media, "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story." By the way he really looks like John Paul II in his younger days.
One correction on Bezmenov. Propiska was not only racist. People of all sorts of nationalities lived in Moscow. Propiska was an ugly enslaving thing, and he is right in everythign else, but it wasn't quite racist. It was classist, keeping peasant class down.
But it had racial effects too. Though people of many nationalities lived in Moscow, there were no Asians among them. Blacks were practically nonexistent there, because they have never been part of the Russian empire.
But Asians - Central Asians, Siberian people - are plentiful. But not in the European part. I lived in Kiev for 16 years, I traveled through Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, yet I saw the first Asian people in my life in America.
Propiska must've been a major part of what held them back in Central Asia and Siberia.
I think Bezmenov overdoes it by far. I've read Hedrick Smith's "The Russians" several times, and I think it's a good book. It doesn't tow the communist party line, it's not a propaganda piece, and it's quite critical of the Soviet Union.
I wish other hournalists were as good as Hedrick.
But Hedrick Smith is a journalist. Bezmenov is much closer to truth when he talks about the researchers, the Sovietologists.
Most of them make an impression of being on Soviet payroll, whether they were or not.
I came to the U.S. in 1977, together with a whole bunch of other former Soviets. There were all sorts on people, even some nuts, but there were also brilliant and knowledgeable people who should've been the pride of any college. Of them all, only one became a Sovietologist: Dmitry Simes.
Everyone else was told, "You emigrated from Soviet Union, so you must be biased against it, so you won't tell the truth, so we don't want you." This is how they were greeted at the gate of every university. At first I was flabergasted, but later I understood what was going on:
American Sovietologists who really didn't know much, and knew that they didn't know much, saw these people as a threat to their personal welfare and to the reputations they managed to build up among those like them or their students whom they led by the nose. It was all about jobs, salaries and reputation. Soviet emigres were told to go away BECAUSE they were so good.
Much later, when I was writing a paper on the class structure of the Soviet Union, I looked at what had been written on that subject in the West. I was totally disgusted. They didn't know a thing.
This is how "experts" "determined" that the standard of living in East Germany was higher than in West Germany.
Just a few weeks after their "determination" the Iron Wall fell and huge crowds of East Germans went to the West and were flabergasted with what they saw (just as we were flabergasted when we left the Soviet Union and arrived in Vienna.) And Sovietology collapsed. Soon after, Soviet Union collapsed.
Where are the old Sovietologists now? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprized if many of them are working to "explain" (i.e. justify and whitewash) Muslim and Arab countries (as well as Cuban and Venezuelan regimes) just as they "explained" the Soviet ones. Their spirit lives on in all such "explanations."
There was propusk - a permit, usually allowing entry to where ordinary people weren't (military bases or institutions, government and party buildings, special parts of libraries, etc.) There was a whole huge system of these, of different levels.
And there was propiska: a stamp on one's pasport, attaching one to a certain city or village.
One couldn't stay outside that place beyond 3 days without going to the police and registering. For us at least, it wasn't hard to register for a month (like for a vacation), for others it was another story.
So propiska strengthened the slave system. Not only couldn't one leave the country, one had trouble leaving one's city or village. It was particularly hard on the peasants.
Propiska was part of how the system kept residents of Moscow and other major cities relatively well off, while robbing smaller cities and villages. Not only did the distribution system stock Moscow first, republican capitals and major cities second, smaller cities third and villages last, but the propiska tried to prevent people from visiting Moscow and other large cities and on their own buying things for themselves to bring them back to villages.
To have a propiska in Moscow was a dream of just about every non-Moscow resident. Lots of marriages were made only with this goal in mind, you name it.
And how the people with Moscow or other major city propiska hated the ones who came to their places to buy at least something. "Those meshochniki (baggers) are robbing our city!!"
This is what I remember more than anything about former USSR: shortages and hatred.
Many liberal brain's actually try to get 2+2 to be anything else than 4 for the sake of disprovement, antoganism.
Im not kidding, look it up. That is how their brain work, this makes them dupes, because anything revolutionary and anti-traditionalism (surrogate rationalism) is progress to them and this the market and politicians capitalize on.
