In his study The Gulag Archipelago, Alexandr Solzenitsyn records that “the creation of fabricated cases began back in the early years of the Organs” – that is, immediately after the Soviet secret police agency was created in 1917. The routine fabrication of offenses was done by the Chekists “so that their constant salutary activity might be perceived as essential. Otherwise, what with a decline in the number of enemies, the Organs might, in a bad hour, have been forced to wither away.” From its inception, the Soviet secret police agency was engaged in what we now call “Homeland Security Theater.”

I thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone of this article from 2019.
the FBI has indeed become the American Gestapo...
America needs another Elliot Ness to clean up that Feddy mess up in the Swamp. Start cutting back on thos cute “FBI” Navy windbreakers.
Exactly what Hoover did with his little department and the “10 Most Wanted” list publicity.
There’s a movie to watch, The Chekist.
Most depressing movie ever made.
You can’t clean up the FBI, we have to get rid of it.
Hey, those windbreakers are Great!!
How else can Americans properly identify the ENEMY at 300+ meters? All they need is a Shield with a Swastika on the Left Breast.
Not just the FBI, every single federal agency (the “deep state”) is corrupt.
We are being ruled by a non-representative shadow government.
Congress created all these agencies and turned them over to the executive branch and gave itself little if any power to control its own creations.
So basically congress has delegated most of its power to make laws (”regulations”) to these unelected agencies over which it has no power.
I have been reading Gulag Archipelago now over several months. It’s one of those books you read, you absorb, and you look around you at the day to day parallels in American government, and you put it down and walk away.
I have read two other novels in between putting this book down, because many of the chapters are so painful to absorb, that you must move on to something lighter before picking it back up.
It starts with the art of the arrest, the early morning assault on ones home, in front of the family, the children, the neighbors. The fear that this creates, see:
- Jeffrey Clark (Trump DOJ)
- Theodore Deschler (J6)
- Mark Houck (Preacher and Non-Violent Pro Life Activist)
- Zachary Rehl (J6)
- Ethan Nordean (J6)
- Geoffrey Sills (J6)
- Breonna Taylor (Dead)
- Jake Paul (YouTube influencer)
- Christopher Kuehne (J6 - wife had miscarriage the day after the FBI SWAT raid)
- Roger Stone (General political enemy)
Then Solzhenitsyn moves on to interrogation, humiliation,and torture, think Peter Navarro chained to a desk for over 6 hours for the audacity to not answer Liz Cheney’s questions, or Stephen Bannon, or any number of political associates of Donald Trump’s.
- Jeff Brown (J6 tortured in DC gulag)
- Billy Chrestman (J6 maced and beaten for singing national anthem in DC gulag)
- Andrew Taake (J6 Diesel Therapy - transported for days and weeks while ingesting the diesel fumes of the vehicle - cute eh?)
This coupled with the hundreds imprisoned in the DC gulag for years with no bond, no trial and horrific conditions and treatment under the DC-Demokratia in charge of that city on minor charges of parading, protesting, or elements of felonious mopery as Dan Bongino might call it.
Solzhenitsyn went to great lengths to provide absolute clarity on where tolerance of this behavior leads. He painted the picture, provided the detail and flavor of these behaviors so that we would recognize a coming tyranny very early on.
Solzhenitsyn also admonished his fellow citizens for doing nothing about it; turning a blind eye and saying nothing because it was someone else, or is happening to someone they might disagree with politically. Perhaps even informing on these types. “There they, over there!”
When this tyranny comes for you, who might stand in the breach?
The citizens of this country had best start paying attention, reading up, planning and training, cuz baby, it’s coming for you, your family and everyone you know and love.
We are being led to the gates of hell by a geriatric political class that dreams of living and wielding power forever.
“If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible what was the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: ‘Men had forgotten God; that is why all this has happened”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I couldn't get past ten minutes into it. It was starting to get into Threads-level disturbing.
He is absolutely right.
When men forget God, and I’m not talking about the religions of the world.
I’m talking about the one, true, living God who has proven that he is by telling of future events from ancient times, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God and Father of Jesus. That God.
When we forget him, that we will have to stand before him and give an account of ourselves related to our words, and actions, that acts as a bridle to restrain our tendency to drift toward evil and oppression toward our fellow man.
We desire to be loosed from that restraint to do what ever we want, and that leads to untold suffering of others.
We know the difference between good and evil, and because of that we have a responsibility to always choose the good. The problem is that Adams first choice was to disobey God and eat that fruit, and that consistent choice to disobey God was passed from Adam to his children and their children….. right down to this present time.
That is why Jesus came, he fixed the relationship we broke, so that we can also have a right relationship with others here. Is it perfect now?,no, but as we follow Jesus, and learn from him, and have our mind and lives conformed to be like him, our relationships, both vertical and horizontal will get better.
