Worth repeating.

For those who don't have time or inclination to read to the end, the article's main point is the analogy to Czechoslovakia escaping from communist dictatorship and becoming "Free" in less than 10 years.

The article depicts the actions of one intellectual as exemplar of a pattern of the thoughts of Czech society at large...and by analogy...American society today if we are to emerge free.

The article is telling us there are conspiracies, but what we should do is ignore them and go on with our lives.

Looks very much like the author is working for the conspirators.
