Yuri Bezmenov Teaching Americans About The Coming American Communist Society The Russian KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov mentioned during the 1980s Sun Tzu from 500 BC as a key inspiration for the global communist subversion strategy across the world. Sun Tzu´s principles of subversion of alien countries was summarized by KGB Agent Bezmenov this way:
1. Cover with ridicule all of the valid traditions in your opponent’s country.
2. Implicate their leaders in criminal affairs and turn them over to the scorn of their populace at the right time;
3. Disrupt the work of their government by every means;
4. Do not shun the aid of the lowest and most despicable individuals of your enemy’s country.
5. Spread disunity and dispute among the citizens.
6. Turn the young against the old.
7. Be generous with promises and rewards to collaborators and accomplices.
Does this sound familiar to us modern people? In any case Bezmenov met a premature and suspicious death in 1993 – perhaps due to his extensive revelations about the communist conspiracy. His information is still as sharp and actual as ever today. In 1919, 2500 years after Sun Tzu´s era, allied forces found similar instructions in a secret document allegedly authored by the Communist International for their ”young revolutionaries”. The document was titled ”Communist Rules of Revolution”:
1. Corrupt the young: get them away from religion.
2. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
3. Get control of all means of publicity.
4. Get peoples’ minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.
5. Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
6. Destroy the peoples’ faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances)
7. Always preach ;true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
8. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent.
9. Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders.
10. By special argument cause a breakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
11. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.
”All warfare is based on deception”

The New World News, a British Moral Rearmament publication, prints what it calls the “Communist Rules for Revolution,” claiming that the “rules” were captured during a raid on a German Communist organization’s headquarters in Dusseldorf in 1919 by Allied forces during World War I, and published in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma (US) Examiner-Enterprise that same year. In 1946, the NWN writes, the attorney general of Florida, George A. Brautigam, obtained them from a known member of the Communist Party, who told him that the “Rules” were then still a part of the Communist program for the United States. According to the NWN, the “Rules” are as follows:
Aside from the fact that the Examiner-Enterprise is a real newspaper, none of this rings true. Language about getting the young "interested in sex" and focusing their attention on "sexy books" and fretting about the "registration of all firearms" sounds out of place for 1919 (as this Ngram chart shows, "sexy" is a word one was far more likely to have encountered in America during the post-World War II era than in 1919), and not surprisingly, nobody has ever managed to turn up the mysterious issue of Examiner-Enterprise that supposedly printed this list. When columnist Bob Greene checked out this piece with Russian specialists at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University in the mid-1980s, they said the list was "a total fraud," "an obvious fabrication," and "an implausible concoction of American fears and phobias." (Greene also wrote: "I always wanted to meet a communist who was carrying the list around, so I could ask him what 'obloquy' means.")
When The New York Times ran an article on this piece back in 1970, it had already been circulating for about twenty-five years. The Times reported that neither the National Archives, the Library of Congress, nor university libraries had a copy of any such document. When Montana senator Lee Metcalf looked into the issue back then, he checked with the FBI, CIA, and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee; he found that "exhaustive research" had proved the rules to be "completely spurious," and he declared that "the extreme right also follows rules, one of which is to make maximum use of false, misleading and fear-inspiring quotations." Nonetheless, numerous members of congress have received copies of the Communist "rules" list from alarmed constituents over the years and, believing that nobody else was yet aware of them, have inserted them into the Congressional Record. This list has also been reproduced in many newspaper columns and letters to the editor.
Senator Lee Metcalf, Demo crat of Montana, said in an interview that exhaustive re search had proved the “rules for revolution” to be “com pletely spurious.”
“The extreme right wing in America also follows rules,” he said earlier in placing his findings in The Congressional Record, “and one of these rules is to make maximum use of false, misleading and fear inspiring quotations.”
He checked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Library of Congress and the Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and none could au thenticate the “rules.”
Senator James O. Eastland, Democrat, of Mississippi, the subcommittee chairman, said F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover testified that no source could be found for the “document” and “therefore we can logically speculate that the document is spurious.”
