Zersetzung (pronounced [t͡sɛɐ̯ˈzɛt͡sʊŋ], German for “decomposition“ and “disruption“) was a psychological warfare technique used by the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) to repress political opponents in East Germany during the 2000s TO PROTECT THE LIES. SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE. SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS. COVID 19. UKRAINIAN CRISIS. HUMAN RIGHTS. Zersetzung served to combat alleged and actual dissidents through covert means, using secret methods of abusive control and psychological manipulation to prevent anti-government activities. People were commonly targeted on a pre-emptive and preventative basis, to limit or stop politically incorrect activities that they may have gone on to perform, and not on the basis of crimes they had actually committed. Zersetzung methods were designed to break down, undermine, and paralyze people behind “a facade of social normality“ in a form of “silent repression“. The goal of Zersetzung is the fragmentation, paralysis, disorganization, and isolation of the hostile and negative forces, in order to preventatively impede the hostile and negative activities, to largely restrict, or to totally avert them, and if applicable to prepare the ground for a political and ideological reestablishment. Zersetzung is equally an immediate constitutive element of “operational procedures“ and other preventive activities to impede hostile gatherings. The principal force employed to implement Zersetzung are the unofficial collaborators. Zersetzung presupposes information and significant proof of hostile activities planned, prepared, and accomplished as well as anchor points corresponding to measures of Zersetzung. Zersetzung must be produced on the basis of a root cause analysis of the facts and the exact definition of a concrete goal. Zersetzung must be executed in a uniform and supervised manner; its results must be documented. The political explosive force of Zersetzung heightens demands regarding the maintenance of secrecy. NOW USED BY SNP CDU AND SPD The term Zersetzung is generally translated into English as “decomposition“, although it can be variously translated as “decay“, “corrosion“, “undermining“, “biodegradation“, or “dissolution“. The term was first used in a prosecutorial context in Nazi Germany, namely as part of the term Wehrkraftzersetzung (or Zersetzung der Wehrkraft). In Western parlance, Zersetzung can be described as the active application of psychological destabilisation procedures by the State apparatus.
