“Godlessness: The First Step Toward the Gulag”

Well done. Isn’t it interesting how much wisdom Russian authors have provided us. Add to Solzhnitsyn’s studied insight Dostoyeksky’s that if there’s no God then anything is permissible. Were both of these men alive today and took a cold, hard look at America, I’m thinking they’d agree that in this country anything indeed is permissible and not only permitted but worshiped. The steps whereby evil becomes good go like this:

1. Tolerance
2. Acceptance
3. Embracing
4. Celebrating
5. Worshiping (i.e., bowing to)

The reason simply can’t be said better than Solzhnitsyn said it.

I do dearly despise what the American people have become. I weep for what the churches in America have become. Satan won the last century and is winning the first part of the twenty first, so how do we turn this around?

Our people mold themselves into the godless characters they see on tv sitcoms and reality shows, while they worship money and materialism. Billionaires and mobsters are the new gods to be worshiped which is most sickening.

There is a need for reformation of religious institutions and return to the bible as it was written. If this country continues to flounder without a godly direction, we are doomed to the gulag. Solzhenitsyn was right on the mark as to what brought down Russia along with the hidden hand.

Great food for thought and well done Stucky, simple and to the point, so what do we do starting today other than just talk about it?

I came to the conclusion a decade or so ago that you cannot have a moral and free people without God and the evidence of degeneracy and unspeakable evil all around us and at the highest levels supports this conclusion. Solzhenitsyn who witnessed depravity and mass murder on an unimaginable scale in Bolshevik Russia and as a prisoner in the Gulags saw very clearly where the western world was headed long before most of us realized that we were on the path to national suicide. He also correctly diagnosed the cause which is a rejection of God and the embrace of Satan. The good news is that the Russian people who suffered under Communism have embraced both Solzhenitsyn and the Russian Orthodox church based on the true teachings of Christ, unlike the mostly corrupt “Christian” churches – or should I say Satanic churches – in the US and throughout the western world.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and critic of Communist totalitarianism:
“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the “Russian Revolution.” It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”

Nice segue from last Sunday’s Stucky Sermon

So Solzhenitsyn’s observation begs for my plan for an inchoate resurrection of that which brings relief. This is how I do it.

Cardinal Points
Work – do something of value for others
Worship – study and practice the temporal and sacred – eschew non tolerance of other faiths and look for convergence of sacrosanct principles.
(An example: In 2014, major Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox Christian leaders, as well as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist leaders, met to sign a shared commitment against modern-day slavery; the declaration they signed calls for the elimination of slavery and human trafficking by the year 2020.)

Play – re-creation of the joyful things you value
Family – where love is taught, practiced, manifested and passed from
family of origin to family of generation and makes community.

Place the four cardinal teeth that chew the fat of life at the ordinal points of a clock. 12, 3 ,6 and 9. I call it time4teeth. Distribute your life in the quadrants of time. Be balanced. May you find gOd, or at least that which passes as Good.

“human salvation can be found neither in the profusion of material goods nor in merely making money.”

I agree, but that belief can be exploited by charlatans.

Example: “poverty level wages, can’t afford a house? Well sure your life sucks now, but when you die it’s gonna be really great. Trust me!”

“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl” (Revelation 21:21)

I’m curious, it being an element of my nature, are the Gates of Heaven there to keep people in, or out?

Is this the same author who last week because of his doubt demanded proofs that God exists? And today he is saying this country needs God? What is wrong with him? Is he bipolar? A head case? I think he needs help deciding who he is. He shouldn’t be posting articles until he gets better.

Loved this article Stucky and have never heard of Solzhnitsyn until now and must agree with his conclusion. Many leave religion as a result of the hypocrisy in holy wars. Man is in charge of religion, and taints it, like everything else. When people realize that religion is not God, and stop confusing man’s failed attempts at spreading the word of God, while simultaneously murdering people whose religious beliefs are different than theirs, or for the pedophilia rings, or for the bedazzled and pimped up jeweled and limo chauffeured evangelical preachers, whose members are often in extreme poverty, at that point they can begin their journey with God.

One of the things that is sure to make my blood boil, is the outrageously self entitled and self exalting notion in determinism that everything is exactly as God intended it, therefore, removing any personal responsibility for relieving the suffering of others. How antithetical to humility is the belief that everything is exactly as God intended it, while living in absolute luxury while so many are suffering unfathomable misery?

Just that particular, Russian, “revolution” – or all of ‘em?

Gulaglessness is the 1st step toward the gulag. Human solvent•ion demands it, over & over again. What the soylent green solvent doesn’t demand, over & over again, was this not demented rx:

“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?… 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! 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.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

Remember this godlessness goofball?

How does nihilism benefit us?

What advantage is there in believing it’s all pointless? That there is no purpose, that right and wrong is simply a personal preference, especially knowing what some humans are capable of doing?

We seem to always find some way of perverting what are natural instincts and drives and turning them into self destructive impulses. Maybe it’s our way of keeping the species in check when the Natural world can’t keep up with the whole pandemic/volcano/ice age end of the deal.

ONE HUNDRED THE END
