Demoralization is the destruction of one’s morale, in every possible sense. It’s also a Communist tactic being used not only on our society but on our children. At the end of the demoralization road, people can’t tell true from false, right from wrong, real from fake, or who to trust, and they completely lack hope outside of the vague hope that the state, institution, or cult will deliver them from their increasing misery and confusion.

I explored the emotional ups and downs that many of us experience, especially during uncertain times. This led me to question whether humanity is ready to evolve and face new challenges, highlighting a divide between those who confront societal issues and those who retreat into denial or ignorance. Growth requires courage and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths, a readiness that not everyone appears to have.
(00:02:42 - 00:04:18):
I discussed how misinformation creates confusion and cognitive dissonance, affecting people's belief systems. When established beliefs are questioned, some people cling more tightly to familiar ideas, while others explore new perspectives. This can lead to either deeper insight or further confusion, reflecting the broader challenge of navigating truth in a world filled with conflicting information.

Pluto's return to Capricorn, an astrological event happening every 244 years marking the end of a significant cycle. This period is a crucial time for reflecting on the past 16 years, considering the transformation of institutions and personal lives. It provides an opportunity to evaluate what has ended and what new beginnings might be emerging.

Preparations for the significant changes ahead by understanding the meanings behind astrological movements, Stressing the need for discernment in these times, particularly with Neptune and Saturn moving into conjunction. Understanding the difference between reality and illusion is vital, as this clarity will guide us in making decisions that align with a deeper understanding of the world and our place within it.
(00:15:16 - 00:18:08):
I shared insights on navigating both personal and collective transformations, emphasizing the importance of being aware of changes within and around us. I reflected on my own journey of personal loss and growth, sharing how significant experiences, such as the dissolution of my marriage and the loss of my mother, questioning societal norms and seeking deeper connections. These experiences have shaped my understanding and approach to life, driving me to find new meaning and purpose.
(00:18:08 - 00:22:52):
I offered further insights into future trends, focusing on upcoming planetary alignments that could reshape our understanding of reality and the societal structures currently collapsing. I also addressed Yuri Bezmenov's explanation of the four stages of ideological subversion, relating it to the current state of society and suggesting that we have moved beyond the stages he described in his 1980s talks (see video below). This period is ideal for self-reflection and preparation; with the New Moon in Virgo, it’s a prime time to set intentions, develop new habits, and ready ourselves for the transformative months ahead.
NEW YORK TIMES COVER TODAY 09/01/2024: [normalization]
When the [legacy] media questions the First Amendment with a headline like "The Constitution is Sacred, Is It Also Dangerous? One of the Biggest Threats to America's Politics Might Be the Country's Founding Document," it raises important questions about the role of constitutional freedoms in contemporary society.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."This foundational right protects the freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition, which are critical components of a democratic society. However, questioning whether these freedoms can be "dangerous" invites a discussion about their limits and how they should be interpreted in the context of modern challenges.
Alas, we are being herded toward ideologies that serve as the undercurrent of change, subtly guiding our thoughts and beliefs in ways that may not always align with our best interests. Do your research and practice discernment; tomorrow's New Moon in Virgo, opposing Saturn, is the perfect time for a slow down introspection. Venus conjuncts the South Node in Libra, which over the past year has offered us the opportunity to reflect on how we relate to situations, people, and things. This reflection is essential as we approach the significant transformations heralded by the upcoming eclipses on September 17th and October 2nd, which I will write more about in the coming weeks.
In his 1984 interview, Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent who defected to the West, detailed the concept of "ideological subversion," a strategy used to undermine the ideological integrity of a society. Bezmenov outlined four stages of this process:
Demoralization: This first stage involves influencing a society's core values and beliefs over a period of 15-20 years, enough time to educate a generation. The goal is to weaken the moral fiber and mental resistance of the population. This is achieved by infiltrating various sectors such as education, media, and culture to promote ideologies that contradict traditional values, leading people to question their foundational beliefs and principles.
Destabilization: The second stage takes about 2-5 years and targets key institutions like the economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. During destabilization, the emphasis shifts from ideological indoctrination to causing systemic problems and crises within a society, creating an environment of uncertainty and disorder that erodes trust in the government's ability to maintain stability.
Crisis: The third stage is a relatively quick period, lasting only a few months. It involves triggering a significant event or series of events that create a decisive crisis in society, such as political upheaval, economic collapse, or social unrest. This crisis leads to a tipping point where the public is overwhelmed and calls for radical change or intervention.
Normalization: The final stage is when the new ideology, leaders, or system becomes accepted as the "new normal." It involves consolidating power and establishing a new status quo, often through force or coercion. This stage can last indefinitely as the new regime stabilizes and embeds its ideology into the fabric of society.
Bezmenov's insights provide a chilling blueprint for how ideological warfare can systematically erode a society's values and stability, ultimately leading to a complete transformation of its political and social structures. Listening to his interview can offer a deeper understanding of the tactics used in psychological and ideological manipulation, which remain relevant in today's global political landscape.
