Russia’s hybrid war

Below is an excellent interview with Sean Wiswesser, author of TRADECRAFT, TACTICS AND DIRTY TRICKS: RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE & PUTIN’S SECRET WAR

Hybrid warfare is a strategy that blends conventional military force with non‑military tools—such as cyberattacks, disinformation, economic pressure, and proxy actors—to achieve political objectives while staying below the threshold of open war.

Hybrid warfare integrates multiple instruments of power—military, political, economic, informational, and technological—to exploit ambiguity and weaken an opponent without triggering full-scale conflict. It deliberately blurs the lines between war and peace, state and non‑state actors, and overt and covert action.

Update on CIA Moscow visit

Many analysts say that the CIA director’s visit to Moscow was to warn the psychopaths in the Kremlin not to embark on action too provocative to ignore. The Russian government’s hostility towards the democratic West has not subsided – indeed has never changed. We in the West are the eternal enemy. Most of us don’t realise that we are constantly trying to appease an enemy that will never be appeased. Now, the American intelligence community thinks the Kremlin’s hybrid war of subversion and infrastructure assaults threatens to escalate to military action in the Baltic states. The message to Moscow: don’t do it. That was the message to psychotic Putin before the Ukraine attack. It’s likely he’ll bare his bum to the second visit.

Towards the end of the video below is the warning to Europeans to prepare for possible disruption to critical parts of their infrastructure. Stock up for at least four days. We in Australia are not too far away to escape the disruption. We need to act resolutely. But our problem is that the country has been feminised, and thus weakened.

Undeceiving the conservative chumps who trust Putin and Russia

It is astounding that some people in the West, who consider themselves to be conservative, have publicly supported Russian President Vladimir Putin, seeing him as the defender of Christian Civilisation. I cannot imagine a greater delusion. Putin, far from being the defender of Christian values and the Christian religion, is a psychotic monster who controls a vast mechanism of lies and political manipulation. Below is an interview with Sean Wiswesser, author of a recent publication about Russia’s intelligence service. I have the book and highly recommend it.

Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin’s Secret War by Sean Wiswesser

‘As a member of the CIA’s expert cadre in the Directorate of Operations, Wiswesser worked closely with the US intelligence community and foreign allies to recruit Russian spies and then work to counter their services, giving him a unique perspective on the Russian Intelligence Services’ (RIS) global reach. With his new book Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin’s Secret War Wiswesser takes readers deep into the heart of Maskirovka—the Russian art of denial, deception, and manipulation. In this program, Spy Museum Historian, Dr. Mark R. Jacobson interviews Wiswesser about the shadowy world of Russian espionage from “street work,” honeytraps, and assassinations, to the RIS’ roles in the Russo-Ukraine War. They discuss both historical examples and firsthand accounts of the tactics employed by the three main services of Russia’s intelligence apparatus: the SVR, GRU, and FSB.’

Four stages of ideological subversion

Former KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn the West about communist subversion. After his defection, he spent his time outlining the four stages of Marxist subversion. It happened as he predicted, especially in Australia, where the Marxists have infiltrated and poisoned all the major organs of the nation.

SUBVERSION IN FOUR STAGES

1. Foster cultural decadence and demoralisation
– Attack family, history of white people, encourage sexual promiscuity and drugs, attack patriotism, undermine people’s pride in their country.

2. Create social chaos
Everyone is equal. There’s no difference between man and woman, different races and people. Unequal outcomes are the result of white prejudice, bigotry and injustice.
– Communists plan to use minorities to undermine white society.
– Manipulate the movement for civil rights as a tactic to destabilise white society. Brand anyone objecting as a racist.
– Destabilise with rampant mass immigration. The push for Third World immigration came directly from the communists.
– Encourage black people to see all inequalities and disadvantages as a result of white oppression.

3. Instigate a crisis that leads either to civil war, revolution, or invasion.

4. Launch a quick savage coup to bring the country under the control of the communist party to bring ‘normalisation’. Communists and Islamists are most successful in mounting a coup.

Madman Leon Trotsky invented and spread the word ‘racism’ because he knew that multiracial societies result in social chaos.

Use DIVERSITY as a tactic. Diversity undermines a coherent, cohesive society. Diversity is the major weapon against white societies.

Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, also known as Tomas David Schuman, was a Soviet journalist, KGB-associated informant, and defector who worked for the Novosti Press Agency before fleeing while stationed in India in 1970. Resettled in Canada, he became an outspoken anti-communist author and lecturer, best known for exposing the KGB’s “ideological subversion” strategy—demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization—outlined in his 1980s books and lectures until his death in 1993.
