He speaks in such generalities that it is not very insightful or useful. I mean the Protocols seem to have more relevance. Any KGB plans were probably taken from those in concept. The biggest plot hole is that the Soviet Union must have recognized the inferiority of such a system even in their own country. Why would they desire to spread it? I get that he is saying it was a Pandora's Box from the early days, but that still doesn't explain his accounts of the efforts of his colleagues.
Seems more self serving than anything. The #1 problem in the USA is heterogeneity. There was no chance at a Federal Reserve before the huge influx of Irish and Southern Europeans, but ultimately, the Fed wouldn't have been a 120 year old plot before it was successful without JEWS. Nor would there be so many brown people that American ideals can NEVER be restored.
Education wasn't near as big of a problem as diversification of the People.
The US Constitution failed to provide protections against centralization (it was a centralization scheme). It failed to establish official language. It was entirely too malleable in the areas that are fundamental to maintaining a nation of any type. It was a fucking disaster that paid lip service to freedom and liberty while providing more than enough tools to destroy both.
The US Constitution was a fucking coup against the Revolution and Articles of Confederation was the only chance we had. The Colonial Armies assumed when the war was one the deficiencies of the Articles would be addressed but the concept kept intact.
Some amount of history would be organically ignored due to natural bias and patriotic sentiment about the country we live in, but I can't help but think that by the time I was in school, the controversies of the American Revolution were all but memory holed and this was quite deliberate.
