In a 4 minute video, explains their connection to "useful idiot Americans" practicing Yoga (originally traveling to India to learn from the so-called "masters" ), how the Beatles (music group) were also used as "useful idiots", to come back and spread the Yoga meditation nonsense to America. BTW, the average Indian in India also thinks these "Yoga/Meditation Masters" are useful idiots (kooks)

The
KGB was even curious about this gentleman. It may look innocent —
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a great spiritual leader, or maybe a great
charlatan and kook, depending on from which side you’re looking at him.The
Beatles were trained at his ashram in Haridwar in India how to
meditate. Mia Farrow and other useful idiots from Hollywood visited his
school, and they returned back to the United States absolutely zoned out
of their minds with marijuana, hashish, and crazy ideas of meditation.
To
meditate, in other words, to isolate oneself from the current social
and political issues of your own country, to get into your own bubble,
to forget about the troubles of the world.Obviously
the KGB was very fascinated with such a beautiful school — such a
brainwashing center for stupid Americans. I was dispatched by the KGB to
check what kind of VIP Americans attend the school.That’s you on the left.
Yes,
I’m on the left. I was trying to get enrolled in that school.
Unfortunately the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi asked too much — he wanted $500
American dollars for enrollment. But my function was not actually to get
enrolled in this school. My function was to discover what kind of
people from the United States attend this school.And
we discovered that yes, there are some influential members of family,
public opinion makers of the United States, who come back with the crazy
stories about Indian philosophy.
Indians
themselves look upon them as idiots — useful idiots — to say nothing
about the KGB, who looked at them as extremely naive, misguided people.
Obviously
a VIP — say a wife of a congressman or a prominent Hollywood
personality — after being trained in that school is much more
instrumental in the hands of manipulators of public opinion and the KGB
than a normal person who understands, who looks through this type of
fake religious training.Why
would they be more susceptible to manipulation? I just mentioned that
because you see, a person who is too much involved in introspective
meditation…
if
you carefully look at what Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is teaching to
Americans, it is that most of the problems, most of the burning issues
of today, can be solved simply by meditating. Don’t rock the boat. Don’t
get involved. Just sit down, look at your navel, and meditate, and the
things, due to some strange logic, due to cosmic vibration, will settle
down by themselves.This
is exactly what the KGB and Marxist-Leninist propaganda wants from
Americans: to distract their opinion, attention, and mental energy from
the real issues of the United States into non-issues, into a non-world,
non-existent harmony.
Obviously
it’s more beneficial for the Soviet aggressors to have a bunch of duped
Americans than Americans who are self-conscious, healthy, physically
fit, and alert to the reality.Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi obviously is not on the payroll of the KGB. But whether he
knows it or not, he contributes greatly to the demoralization of
American society. And he’s not the only one. There are hundreds of those
gurus who come to your country to capitalize on the naivety and
stupidity of Americans. It’s a fashion — it’s a fashion to meditate,
it’s a fashion not to be involved.
So
obviously you can see that if the KGB were that curious, if they paid
my trip to Haridwar, if they assigned me to that strange job, obviously
they were very much fascinated. They were convinced that that type of
brainwashing is very efficient and instrumental in the demoralization of
the United States.
