“Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to 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 camps, he will refuse to believe it, until he receives a kick in his fat bottom. When a military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragic situation of demoralization.”

Yuri was describing the NPC meme 40 years ago. This interview is disturbing.

My problem with these "Soviet Defectors" - is that they were immediately hired by the CIA and then gave these speeches. Why do we suddenly trust CIA run discussion?
