Alexander Gumberg was the model for covert influence operators targeting America.
During the Russian Revolution, Gumberg, a communist who had blended in to American society as an adolescent refugee, returned to Russia. His American accent, and understanding of Americans, along with native fluency in Russian, allowed him to penetrate the American community as a "translator/guide." 
He recruited a variety of Americans in Russia--journalists, Red Cross representatives (who acted as American diplomats), officers in the first American attempt at propaganda, the Committee on Public Information (CPI), American Congressmen, and more.
Willi Muenzenberg, an energetic German who perfected covert influence, built on Gumberg's unbelievable successes and brought the covert influence operations to the heartland of the U.S.
He constructed a series of "Popular Front" organizations. Americans who participated in these organizations felt like they were "special" and "part of an elite.
These superior feelings developed into 
the basis of today's PC-Progressive attitudes.
As Stephen Koch describes it, Muenzenberg created a "reflexive loathing" of normal Americans, their tastes, their morals, their history, and their culture.
Muenzenberg and his operators recruited, co-opted, manipulated, and guided a network of Willing Accomplices who spread the nasty hate-America-first message.

We can see the America-sucks attitudes every day in 2011. Watching network television news, reading the New York Times, listening to
academics, or watching a Hollywood movie today is almost exactly like sitting with Muenzenberg and his cronies.
Michael Moore, PC-Progressive: White people scare the crap out of me.
Ward Churchill--Fake Indian, PC America Hater: What I said was that the "technocrats of empire" working in the World Trade Center were the equivalent of "little Eichmanns."
