The description of the Active Measures process as described by high-ranking KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov in 1983 and 1984 appears to closely resemble American society today and over the past several decades. The parallels strike me as far too numerous and accurate to be considered by any reasonable person to be an accident or coincidence. I challenge The New York Times, Fox News, or anyone to contradict this perspective *in a convincing and compelling way*. I'm also looking for any major or minor media figures to confirm that this is their perspective, as well.
