Video: Ex-KGB Uri Bezmenov On Ideological Indoctrination
Was wandering around in YouTube and found this little gem. Ex-KGB officer Uri Bezmenov describes the process of Idelogical Indoctrination.

The parallels between the process he describes (back in '85) and the situation here now is uncanny - which is why I placed this under 'seedy politicians'.

In two parts:

#1  Thank you for posting this video. Yes it is a gem.
The process is quite Russian like a chess match.

Obama urges Republicans to put aside partisan politics
(KUNA) -- Days before the midterm congressional elections, US President Barack B.O. Obama called Republican leadership to put aside partisan politics and focus on strengthening the economy.

"Tuesday is Election Day, and here in Washington, the talk is all about who will win and who will lose, about parties and politics and your hope is that once this election is over, the folks you choose to represent you will put the politics aside for a while, and work together to solve problems. Thats my hope, too", said Obama in his weekly address.

"Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, we need to come together to help put people who are still looking for jobs back to work. And there are some practical steps we can take right away to promote growth and encourage businesses to hire and expand. These are steps we all should be able to agree on not Democratic or Republican ideas, but proposals that have traditionally been supported by both parties," he added.

Obama noted that he believes "it is the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to seek out common ground. It may not always be easy to find agreement; at times we will have legitimate philosophical differences. And it may not always be the best politics. But it is the right thing to do for our country." "Thats why I found the recent comments by the top two Republican in Congress so troubling. The Republican leader of the House actually said that "this is not the time for compromise." And the Republican leader of the Senate said his main goal after this election is simply to win the next one", he added.

Obama said that the country has a choice to make between spending "the next two years arguing with one another, trapped in stale debates, mired in gridlock, unable to make progress in solving the serious problems facing our country. We can stand still while our competitors "like China and others around the world" try to pass us by, making the critical decisions that will allow them to gain an edge in new industries." "Or we can do what the American people are demanding that we do. We can move forward. We can promote new jobs and businesses by harnessing the talents and ingenuity of our people. We can take the necessary steps to help the next generation, instead of just worrying about the next election. We can live up to an allegiance far stronger than our membership in any political party," he concluded.

#1  Obama urges Republicans to put aside partisan politics

You put away your veto pen, sophomoric ideologies, Chicago-style politics, the back-room deals, the closed-to-republican meetings and live up to your pledge to run an open WH, and we put away the partisan politics.

Until then, FU too.

#2  The Republican leader of the House actually said that "this is not the time for compromise."

I'm pleased that they (they Republicans) got the message.

#3  There is no compromise about this guy. He is going to make a big public spectacle about a willingness to compromise with the Pubs. He will push his lameduck agenda and cry foul when it doesn't go and play the blame game. In the meantime, he will push his agenda through the fed agencies; EPA, etc.

Gridlock would be a vast improvement over what we've seen the past 21 months.

#5  He's had such a large majority that he could do just about anything (and has) if his own party went along and he's trying to paint the Republicans as the difficult ones? Chutzpah.

Does he even comprehend what TOTUS puts up for him to say?

#8  I'm not a Republican and you can take your $2trillion worth 1700+ pages worth of unread laws signed with a smirk and shove it up your ass you ivy league carpetbagger.

#10  What gorb said in #1, only with a lot more cursing, vituperation and a slightly psychotic rant involving the word 'anti-Christ'. I'm gonna go sit in the sinktrap now and drink my coffee.

#11  Hello All;
The con artist at work. This is a good example for all to see. How do these people control the general population. They must have enablers; the various media, party members, unions, moderates, and Rino's.
What makes him potentially more difficult is his anxiety of having white blood in him. He will do anything to prove his blood purity. This mess is a street fight to him. He will use anything he can to push his agenda even with the voice of the people against him. He points his finger at others and he is the one being partisan. His wife in my opinion is more mentally stable. This will get very ugly. He is capable of great mischief.

#12  How does he square it with this? And this?
Posted by: Pappy || 10/31/2010 13:33 Comments || Top||

#13  Send him bill after bill with repeal of Obamacare and reversal of his Executive Order-driven efforts, forcing him to endlessly repeal these ideas. When 2012 comes along he can't deny his unbroken vetos of all the right answers and can't make a single claim of being a moderate or non-partisan.
Gridlock and defund all of these loathesome socialist efforts, being proudly the party of NO!!!!!!!!.
As to how to fix the mess we are in, no new regulatory or statutory language for 2 years, budgets back to 2007 levels, and focus on the hundreds of billions (yes I mean billions) in Medicare and Social Security fraud!
Close the borders, mandate identity verification at voting, and you are on the road to sanity.

#14  Bad guy to Chuck Norris after Chuck's guys have gotten the upper hand:

"American, do you hear me? I want to talk to you.
American? I want to negotiate."
Posted by: Matt || 10/31/2010 14:44 Comments || Top||

#15  Thing is I don't think anyone except for die-in-the-wool-socialists believe a word he says anymore - he has lied, and has been proved to be a liar, so often.

Kind of like the boy who cried 'Teabagger!'.....

#16  The idea that he can't fool most of the people all of the time just doesn't seem to penetrate.

#17  I realize my words were strong in my earlier post but I have some history having worked in and around DC. You have good and bad in all peoples. O's body language tells me a lot about him. He is getting more shrill and combative. The Executive order is his next weapon of choice and he will use it with little concern for anyone else. Like the old Kennedy joke"it's my football so we play by my rules". His loyal followers believe every word he says. To them anyone who opposes him are their enemy- period. I was in DC before the riots during and after. Riots again will be the final result should he continue on this path. Countries that wish to create instability in our country will fund any group that causes anarchy as they have done in the past.

I honestly would not have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.
