“When the military boot crashes his balls, then he will understand but not before then. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization,” explains former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov in his 1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin. “Unlike in present United States, there will be no place for dissent in future Marxist-Leninist America. Here, you can get popular like Daniel Ellsberg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being dissident – for criticizing your Pentagon. In future, these people will be simply squashed like cockroaches. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful, noble ideas of equality. This they don’t understand and it will be greatest shock for them of course.

“The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already. For the last twenty-five years, actually it’s over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where previously not even Comrade Andropov and all of his experts would even dream of such a tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards,” explains Bezmenov. “As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him.

“Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his balls, then he will understand but not before then. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”

The author of “Love Letter to America,” Bezmenov is among the most influential minds of the 20th century who has managed to successfully transcend multiple generations of Americans due in large part to his appearance in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War video game series trailer. His interview with the legendary G. Edward Griffin nothing short of two of the greatest Americans to ever share a room together at one time. But along with Bezmenov, there is another patriot who has also managed to warn of things to come to great effect.

“The last thing that comes in is when the main force comes in and it’s all over with. And all of this will happen in less than sixty-days or sixty-hours. The last sixty-hours, because that’s what we did in Iraq; we brought everybody in, we assembled it, and then we hit it,” explains Command Sgt. Major Dan Page in an August 22, 2014 Sheridan Lowrey YouTube video titled, “US President's & Congress's Treason EXPOSED by Retired US Army Ranger Command Sgt Major Dan Page.”

“Can you imagine what those people thought when they started seeing this massive army assembled around it? Can you imagine the fear in those people’s eyes? We use to look down there in telescopes at those people’s faces. You could see the fear,” explains Page. “We killed 32,000 people in one night. The B-52s came in and the A-10 Warthog come in; 32,000 people died in one night. Think about it. And incidentally, the states that are going to be attacked are those states passing laws restricting federal government.

“Twenty-one states that have filed to secede from the union – that's the targets. That’s where they’re coming,” warns Page as he speaks to a group of Oath Keepers. “If you are deducting your tithes from your (taxes), they are coming to your house because that means you are a religious person. The definition of a terrorist is a white male, one who believes in Jesus Christ, one who believes in the Second Amendment, one who believes in a third party. That is the definition of a terrorist.”

A former St. Louis County police officer who still carries a secret clearance, time has ultimately proved the Command Sgt. Major’s lecture prophetic with the events yet to take place the most concerning. While he may not be known for his personality, time in service has provided Page with the kind of wisdom money simply can't purchase.

“Crossings at the southern border are dramatically down, partially because of moves President Biden made at the end of his term, but now down even more because of Donald Trump who has made strides to militarize the border. The New York Times reports in addition to the nearly 9,000 active duty combat troops already patrolling, D.H.S is requesting 20,000 more National Guardsman,” explains MSNBC host Katy Tur in a May 16, 2025 report titled, “Hegseth is all about ‘out-Trumping Trump’: National Guard requested to help at the border.”

“A lot of this is being presented as an effort to crackdown on Mexican drug cartels who, according to the Trump administration officials are coming into this country and bringing with them Fentanyl and bringing with them drugs,” explains New York Times correspondent Helene Cooper. “And they’ve been talking about going after these people for quite some time and that’s why they want the extra troops and they want more of this military hardware. But a lot of this is also being deployed at civilians. You see, you mention the number, troop number 8, 600 active duty soldiers who are already down there.

“You also have two naval destroyers which are in the Gulf of Mexico and right off the Pacific, off the coast of California that are hovering nearby. They are using U-2 spy planes, there’s a lot of their drones, there’s a lot of military and Pentagon hardware that has been deployed to the border as part of this effort to crackdown on what one General down there described to us as the generational conflict for this generation," explains Cooper. "'This is their mission, sort of like, you know we had our grandparents mission was World War II. This generation he said, this military conflict for them was to crackdown on immigrants at the border.’

“They see it as a military conflict, really? Individuals crossing the border? Do they see more nefarious stuff going on other than people who are looking for a better life?” asks an astounded Tur as the report continues. “Well that’s such a good question, Katy,” admits Cooper. “It’s a question of; there’s what they say, and this is what the Trump administration officials say and there’s what the military says privately. And you have to make a distinction between these two things.”

Information, which in a parallel universe would ordinarily cause the record to skip a beat; instead the widely viewed unjust prosecution of President Trump and those associated with the 2020 presidential election has contributed to the cult of personality surrounding Trump where the American people have all but become indifferent to the negative mainstream media reporting on the president regardless of veracity or truth. Not unlike The Boy Who Cried Wolf fable of the Middle Ages; the demoralization process of the American people so complete and irreversible that even self-evident truths fail to register on the Richter scale.

“You might not have heard anything about it, but this month President Trump signed what he called a ‘National Security Presidential Memorandum,’ which declared that extended swaths of three continuous states are now technically a military base,” explains MSNBC host Rachel Maddow in an April 29, 2025 report titled, “Trump exploits loophole to militarize border; Americans potential targets of military arrests.”

“Its a hundred and seventy miles long, a long strip of federal land along the southern borders of California, Arizona and New Mexico. And in this memo Trump ordered the Pentagon, the Defense Department, to start taking control of this land. So now the U.S. military has taken control of a hundred and seventy miles of land starting in New Mexico, along New Mexico’s southern border, and they’ve declared that that land is now part of Fort Huachuca – which is a U.S. Army base that is not even in New Mexico. It’s in Arizona. Why would you take a hundred and seventy miles of land in three different states and say all of that land is now part of a U.S. Army base somewhere very far away?" asks Maddow. "Well the reason Trump is doing that is because he wants active duty U.S. military service members to start arresting people on U.S. soil.”

Reviewing what we’ve learned thus far, one General according to the New York Times has already described the militarization of the southern border as a generational conflict as tens of thousands of soldiers have been requested by the Department of Homeland Security to help secure the border. In addition to the thousands of active duty troops already on the border, large swaths of land spanning multiple states have effectively been declared as part of a U.S. military base as soldiers have now been authorized to arrest people on U.S. soil. And as if that information wasn’t alarming enough for you, naval destroyers and U-2 spy planes have also been deployed as a bad moon appears to be on the horizon.

“The videos show an apparent uniformed, U.S. Army soldier pointing a rifle to the sky and opening fire in the Florida panhandle’s crowded waters. The incident happened last Friday just near Crab Island, but now these videos are circulating widely,” explains NBC News’ Jesse Kirsch in a May 23, 2025 report titled, “Army soldiers temporarily decertified after allegedly firing blanks at Florida beach.”

“’And tonight the U.S. Army says those gun shots appear to be blanks, but the consequences for the soldiers are real. A military spokesman confirming to NBC News that 18-soldiers with the 6th Ranger Training Battalion were temporarily decertified as instructors after they allegedly fired blank rounds from their weapons at a public beach.’

“My group was freaks and they were freaked out,” explains charter boat Captain Cameron Ellsworth who witnessed the event. “When you see what appear to be U.S. Army soldiers in broad daylight, surrounded by the public, firing rifles into the air. What’s going through your mind when you see that?” asks Kirsch as the interview continues. “I’m hoping that we’re not going to have an incident here,” explains Ellsworth. “I’m thinking, ‘Am I in the middle of what’s about to be a famous incident? Is this going to be a mass shooting; is this some kind of terrorist attack?’”

Described as coinciding with the annual Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival in the city of Fort Walton Beach where members of the 6th Ranger Training Battalion were scheduled to “engage in a mock sea battle.” According to the report, “the incident under scrutiny was not part of the Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival and was not approved by the city or organizers.”

With elements within the mainstream media doing everything they can but shouting “fire” in a crowded theater; putting the pieces together paints a troubling picture. One where covert military training exercises are simultaneously launched during what otherwise appears to be legitimate public outings.

“Can you imagine military trucks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue?” asks reporter Maureen Umeh in an April 8, 2025 FOX 5 Washington DC report titled, “Trump birthday military parade reportedly in the works.”

“During his first term, President Trump did push for a similar parade complete with tanks and military vehicles but cancelled it after the price tag ballooned to an estimated $92-million dollars. This time around officials say the proposed event would celebrate Flag Day and the Army’s 250th-anniversary,” explains Umeh as the FOX 5 report continues. “And could also feature armored vehicles and helicopters – all displayed on the National Mall. But Mayor Bowser says if tanks are part of this plan the city would need some major federal support. 'Military tanks on our streets would not be good,'” explains Bowser. “If military tanks are used, they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to prepare the roads.”

With Command Sgt. Major Page warning of the United States assembling a massive army in Iraq just before they ultimately launched the invasion; it’s what else he said about the states which have passed laws restricting federal government that is most concerning. The "twenty-one states that have filed to secede from the union – that's the targets. That's where they're coming," warns Page. As thousands of troops amass along the southern border with naval destroyers, U-2 spy planes and rogue U.S. Army Rangers turning our skies and water ways into a proverbial Hogan’s Alley; decades of demoralization through the mass media and public education system has all but ensured that the average American simply won’t grasp the gravity of the situation until he receives a kick in his fat bottom. “When the military boot crashes his balls, then he will understand but not before then. That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”
