AMERICAN GULAG - COMING SOON

It was Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian writer, who made the
"gulag archipelago" part of our language. He won the Nobel Prize
for the book of that name, lived here in exile and was mentioned in
the media almost every day until he made the fateful speech at
Harvard, one of many universities founded to spread word of Jesus
Christ.

On June 8th, 1978, Solzhenitsyn told a Harvard audience that
"convergence" of the Soviet and American systems was doomed.
"Convergence" has of course been one of the main purposes of the
conspiracy for world government since the beginning. While he
spoke, it was well under way.

Solzhenitsyn also made these telling comments: "As humanism in its
development became more and more materialistic, it made itself
increasingly accessible to speculation and manipulation at first by
socialism and then by communism. So that Karl Marx was able to say
in 1844 that 'communism is naturalized humanism.'" Humanism is of
course the official government religion of this country. Maybe he
didn't know that.

He concluded as follows: "There is a disaster, however, which has
already been under way for quite some time. I am referring to the
calamity of a despiritualized and irreligious humanistic
consciousness. . . . To such consciousness, man is the
touchstone in judging and evaluating everything on earth. Imperfect
man, who is never free of pride, self-interest, envy, vanity, and
dozens of other defects. We . . . have lost the concept of a
Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our
irresponsibility. We have placed too much hope in political and
social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our
most precious possession: our spiritual life."

With these remarks, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was confronting and
exposing the insane Communist monsters who have usurped control of
this country. Before that speech, the Communist media had made him
an international celebrity, perhaps because the conspiracy for world
government found his revelations about the horrors of the gulag
temporarily useful. After that speech, he disappeared from public
consciousness like a comet. Today, few Americans can remember his
name.

What did Solzhenitsyn say about the gulag? "At what exact point,
then, should one resist? When one's belt is taken away. When one
is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of
one's home? . . . ." The same questions that are bothering you
now. Solzhenitsyn bitterly laments the Russian failure to resist:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things
have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at
night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return
alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods
of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a
quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their
lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and
at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing
left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush
of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else
was at hand? . . ."

Apparently, they had no guns. Solzhenitsyn does not mention them.
But he believes that axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else they
had, could have done the job. He continues: ". . . After all,
you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no
good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be
cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria
sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur what if it
had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very
quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and,
notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would
have ground to a halt!"

One is reminded of "Death Wish," starring the late Charles Bronson.
The architect hero was not a terrorist, i.e., he did not kill
indiscriminately. He did not kill the innocent. He was mild, even
harmless, until the guilty attacked. Then, he brought out the hog
leg and went to work. Whenever he did so, the theater audience
cheered. Acting alone, he turned New York on its ear. Other
inmates, inspired, began to do the same. Criminals were indignant.
Didn't these New Yorkers know that packing heat was illegal? Crime
fell. Imagine the effect of an epidemic of Bronsons.

That is what Russians should have done, says Solzhenitsyn. Of
course, they didn't do it. They "burned in the camps later"
lamenting that fact: "If . . . if . . . We didn't love freedom
enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation. .
.. . We purely and simply deserved everything that happened
afterward."

They lost everything because they were too cowardly to act, because
they didn't love freedom enough. Of course, they were Russians, not
Americans. Instead of SWAT and IRS CID, they had Organs. For
centuries, they had lived under tyranny, benevolent or otherwise.
They were emerging from that tyranny when the Communists perpetrated
their coup by seizing a few buildings in Petrograd. They didn't
know what Communism was. They could not look back at what the
Communists had done.

They did not have the benefit of more than two centuries of liberty.
They did not have the untrammeled American spirit. They did not
have thousands of retired Marine Corps snipers who still can stick
it in your eye, and other thousands of retired Screaming Eagles who
still can bring death from the sky. They did not have the guns.
They did not have the .50 caliber rifle. They were not Americans.
They had not stood with Stonewall Jackson.

What kind of resistance is Solzhenitsyn talking about? He is
clearly not talking about a military unit, not even about a militia
or any group at all. He is talking about what we might call
leaderless, unorganized resistance, what later in the century, in
Vietnam, Americans called "targets of opportunity," the people
acting individually, their acts adding up to a devastating whole, a
"life wish." There would have been nothing to infiltrate and no
leader to kill.

By then, the Russian people had the moral right to do whatever they
could get away with, like the German people under Hitler, like
anyone living under a totalitarian dictatorship. The dictators had
cancelled the law, which is a contractual agreement, so the people
who had been defrauded no longer were required to perform. If you
sign a contract to buy a house, and the owner refuses to vacate, you
don't need to make payments.

Of course, nothing I have said so far has any application here. Not
at all. In fact, do not do not do not even contemplate doing what
Solzhenitsyn says he and his fellow Russians should have done.
After all, have not our Communist media utterly discredited him? I
recall it simply because I am a history buff and it is interesting
history. This is nothing more than a book review.

Certainly, I am not suggesting anything. It would be presumptuous
to tell you what to do. Your own principles and circumstances will
guide you. As Frank "The Chairman" Sinatra, warbled, "I did it my
way!" And to paraphrase the liberaloid mantra, "If it feels right,
do it."

A word should be said about Romans 13. For many years, pulpit
pansies in the pay of the powers that would like to be have preached
that Romans 13 teaches unconditional obedience to government.
Whatever government does, according to this teaching, we have to
endure it, because God has installed government for good.

Yes, He has, but since the men who run government are men, the
chance is great that they will go bad. That is why God did the job
Himself, through His judges, until His children demanded a king.
Through Samuel, He warned them what a king would do. He would eat
out their substance, etc. When stiff-necked Israelites would not
yield, He gave them Saul. Guess what? God was is right. Scripture
is full of cases of government run amok. When that happens, God
sends someone to overthrow it.

King Jabin, the government, was oppressing the people. Jael lulled
Sisera, his commanding general, to sleep and then nailed that old
boy to the ground with a spike through his temples. Scripture says
Jael is "blessed above women." The children of Israel sang about
her in celebration of her exploit.

Eglon, king of Moab, oppressed the people. Ehud parked a knife in
his belly. His majesty was so fat his belly closed around the
knife, so that for a while the coroner couldn't find the cause of
death until crime scene investigators showed him the weapon.
Scripture says Ehud was a deliverer whom the Lord had raised up.

Wasn't Paul a notorious jailbird? Wasn't Peter? Wasn't Jesus a
criminal? He must have been, according to today's pansy preachers,
because the government the Sanhedrin and the Romans said He was.
Didn't He destroy property and use violence when He kicked the
moneychangers out? Didn't He break the law Himself?

If you preach that the government can do no wrong and must be obeyed
blindly whatever it does, that is where you must wind up. Romans 13
means that you must obey and defer to government as long as it does
what God installed it to do. When government stops doing what God
installed it to do stops clearly and incontrovertibly your obedience
is no longer required. Weren't our Founding Fathers criminals?

Is God a Nazi? That is the question. If you subscribe to the
preaching of today's pansy preachers, you believe He is. You
believe you must obey Hitler because he is the government. You
believe you must defer to whatever crimes the government commits
because of what some pansy preacher says about Romans 13.

So you see, pal, the fact that you may put your collar on backward
or have three first names, etc., cuts you no slack here. And by the
way, those pansy preachers revere Martin Luther King, Jr. Wasn't
King in the Birmingham jail when he wrote his famous letter from
Birmingham jail (if he wrote it)?

Wasn't he there because he defied the government? Which governments
does Romans 13 say we must obey? Regular readers will also remember
that today's Christianity has been infiltrated from top to bottom by
Communists, starting even before World War II. Could that be the
reason today's pansy preachers pervert Romans 13? Are they
deliberately trying to neutralize the faithful?

The gulag is coming, tovarish. What will you do?
