It appears that all he had to do was wait a couple of decades.

“Done by Americans to Americans due to lack of moral standards.”

From his conversations, it appears he was being interviewed at the time Walter Mondale was running for president, i.e., the 1980’s. This material is a bit dated.

I believe somewhere in there, it says 1984.

It’s still all incredibly relevant. All the memes that they injected into American thought, via academe and the media, are still very much present.

The joys of diversity and multiculturalism. You'd think we would have learned by now that cultural relativism always drags moral relativism in it's wake.

INDEED.

IIRC, the East German KGB files indicated they spent at least $10 million over the last 50 years toward such efforts—probably in the 20 years from 50 to 30 years ago.

An older relative of mine used to work as an outside “salesman” for a certain company in Langley, Virginia. He once told me that the Soviets were funding the 60’s anti-war movement, and that they were responsible for the whole thing. I responded that, as a 60’s/70’s generation person, I knew better. Just because the Soviets were throwing money at it didn’t mean they were causing it. The stupidity was completely indigenous and self-sustaining, and it continues to this day.

That was probably all just cross-border stuff, into West Germany. I bet the KGB’s budget on us was at least 10X that.
