Thanks again for reposting this landmark speech. Someone once referred t oSolzhenitsyn as 'the conscience of the Twentieth Century'. Lord knows it needed one.

But the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. The forces of Evil have begun their decisive offensive. You can feel their pressure, yet your screens and publications are full of prescribed smiles and raised glasses. What is the joy about?

I have a feeling that this low-frade cultural and spiritual war in which we have been engaged is about to run white-hot. What indeed, it the joy about?

I have a feeling that this low-grade cultural and spiritual war in which we have been engaged is about to run white-hot.

Agreed. The stage is being set. As in the achievement of "critical-mass", social and cultural events will descend suddenly and move in rapid succession, to everyone's amazement. The foundational rending will be felt universally, and every person will be a player. The only available joy will come from knowing in advance the ultimate outcome, and in being able to discern counterfeit from authentic.
