If you’re facing an enemy that is stronger than you, how would you defeat it? By deceiving them into defeating themselves.
In Judges 7-8, Gideon defeated the vast army of the Midianites with only 300 men, at night with some trumpets and lamps to scare them. The noise and the lights confused the Midianites so much that they started to fight each other. Then they cried out and ran away.
America is being deceived into defeating ourselves without our enemies firing a shot. How?
In 1970, former high-ranking Soviet KGB officer, Yuri Bezmenov defected to the West. In the early 1980s, he did a series of interviews in which he exposed the agenda of the Soviets. They knew that they could not defeat America militarily. So they employed the techniques of Soviet propaganda. Bezmenov called it “Ideological subversion” or “Psychological warfare.” It is a “slow brainwashing process” whereby Marxist-Leninist ideologies are introduced to America that can “change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite their abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”
Bezmenov described 4 stages of this warfare. The first stage is “Demoralization.”
Interestingly enough, America’s politicians already knew about these tactics. In 1963. Rep. Albert Herlong Jr (FL) read into the Congressional Record, an excerpt from Cleon Skousen’s book, The Naked Communist. Specifically he read the 45 “Current Communist Goals.”
For the sake of space, I’ll just list a couple here. I’ll bet you recognize them.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
(Check - Guess which party has adopted socialist philosophies?)
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
(Check, check, check and check. The 1619 Project teaches students to hate America. CRT uses a Marxist methods of dividing students into the oppressed and oppressors. And the Transgender agenda is corrupting the minds of children as young as kindergarten with what the Bible calls sexual perversion. Why do Drag Queens want to perform in front of children and not retirement homes? Because their goal is to transform the moral values of the next generation. Giving children access to pornography in school libraries is evil and it should be criminal and prosecuted. It is evil to teach children that they can surgically transition to the opposite sex. This defies common sense. Thankfully some states have passed laws against this practice. But the fact that we have to make a law against it shows how effective the ideological subversion has been and how far gone America may be.)
Lord have mercy on my country for ever allowing the mutilation of children, stealing their childhood and reproductive future.
Luke 17:2 says, “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.”
Say a prayer for our country today. We need it.

Thanks, Gary. Excellent video on the Biblical premise to the Constitution. The "Purple for Parents Indiana" https://purpleforparentsindiana.com/ working to protect children from "harmful agendas saturating the education system."
Respecting and protecting the innocence of childhood should be sacrosanct. Period.
