Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: Godlessness, The First Step To The Gulag

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn To Amerika-Godlessness, The First Step to the
Gulag, From Russia With Love

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet Russian, anti Communist Christian
dissident who was either imprisoned in the infamous Gulags or
persecuted from about 1945 until 1975 for calling Joe Stalin "Mr.
Whiskers" and other extremely unpatriotic criticisms of the Russian
Socialist Republic. Solzhenitsyn lived not only to be exonerated after
surviving so many horrors, he waxed very prophetic by warning the West
- over thirty years ago - how we were following the exact path of
Marxism which had overtaken Russia and plunged it into the darkest
most demonic era in its history.
Aleksandr S., however brilliant, may not have grasped the importance
of the diminishing and eventual non existent power of his Orthodox
Ecclesia which lost its purity of faith, thus setting up the entire
Russian society, including the Czars, for their own downfall at the
hand of the Bolsheviks.
As I witness the Annual Sodomite Parade in downtown Cleveland, Ohio,
where local churches are marching - with musical bands - arm in arm
with the local gay community, and I as see President Obama abandon all
semblance of faith, and appointing Czars, who would not think that we
are becoming the Soviet Socialist Republic of Amerika?
Godlessness, The First Step to the Gulag
"Men Have Forgotten God"By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn @1983 [Before The
Fall Of The Wall]
More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall
hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for
the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God;
that's why all this has happened.
Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history
of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books,
collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already
contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away
the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to
formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous
Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could
not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God;
that's why all this has happened.
What is more, the events of the Russian Revolution can only be
understood now, at the end of the century, against the background of
what has since occurred in the rest of the world. What emerges here is
a process of universal significance. And if I were called upon to
identify briefly the principal trait of the entire twentieth century,
here too, I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy
than to repeat once again: Men have forgotten God.
The failings of human consciousness, deprived of its divine dimension,
have been a determining factor in all the major crimes of this
century. The first of these was World War I, and much of our present
predicament can be traced back to it. It was a war (the memory of
which seems to be fading) when Europe, bursting with health and
abundance, fell into a rage of self-mutilation which could not but sap
its strength for a century or more, and perhaps forever. The only
possible explanation for this war is a mental eclipse among the
leaders of Europe due to their lost awareness of a Supreme Power above
them. Only a godless embitterment could have moved ostensibly
Christian states to employ poison gas, a weapon so obviously beyond
the limits of humanity.
The same kind of defect, the flaw of a consciousness lacking all
divine dimension, was manifested after World War II when the West
yielded to the satanic temptation of the "nuclear umbrella." It was
equivalent to saying: Let's cast off worries, let's free the younger
generation from their duties and obligations, let's make no effort to
defend ourselves, to say nothing of defending others-let's stop our
ears to the groans emanating from the East, and let us live instead in
the pursuit of happiness. If danger should threaten us, we shall be
protected by the nuclear bomb; if not, then let the world burn in Hell
for all we care. The pitifully helpless state to which the
contemporary West has sunk is in large measure due to this fatal
error: the belief that the defense of peace depends not on stout
hearts and steadfast men, but solely on the nuclear bomb...
Today' s world has reached a stage which, if it had been described to
preceding centuries, would have called forth the cry: "This is the
Apocalypse!"
Yet we have grown used to this kind of world; we even feel at home in
it.
Dostoevsky warned that "great events could come upon us and catch us
intellectually unprepared." This is precisely what has happened. And
he predicted that "the world will be saved only after it has been
possessed by the demon of evil." Whether it really will be saved we
shall have to wait and see: this will depend on our conscience, on our
spiritual lucidity, on our individual and combined efforts in the face
of catastrophic circumstances. But it has already come to pass that
the demon of evil, like a whirlwind, triumphantly circles all five
continents of the earth...
In its past, Russia did know a time when the social ideal was not
fame, or riches, or material success, but a pious way of life. Russia
was then steeped in an Orthodox Christianity which remained true to
the Church of the first centuries. The Orthodoxy of that time knew how
to safeguard its people under the yoke of a foreign occupation that
lasted more than two centuries, while at the same time fending off
iniquitous blows from the swords of Western crusaders. During those
centuries the Orthodox faith in our country became part of the very
pattern of thought and the personality of our people, the forms of
daily life, the work calendar, the priorities in every undertaking,
the organization of the week and of the year. Faith was the shaping
and unifying force of the nation.
But in the 17th century Russian Orthodoxy was gravely weakened by an
internal schism. In the 18th, the country was shaken by Peter's
forcibly imposed transformations, which favored the economy, the
state, and the military at the expense of the religious spirit and
national life. And along with this lopsided Petrine enlightenment,
Russia felt the first whiff of secularism; its subtle poisons
permeated the educated classes in the course of the 19th century and
opened the path to Marxism. By the time of the Revolution, faith had
virtually disappeared in Russian educated circles; and amongst the
uneducated, its health was threatened.
It was Dostoevsky, once again, who drew from the French Revolution and
its seeming hatred of the Church the lesson that "revolution must
necessarily begin with atheism." That is absolutely true. But the
world had never before known a godlessness as organized, militarized,
and tenaciously malevolent as that practiced by Marxism. Within the
philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their
psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more
fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions.
Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist
policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot.
The 1920’s in the USSR witnessed an uninterrupted procession of
victims and martyrs amongst the Orthodox clergy. Two metropolitans
were shot, one of whom, Veniamin of Petrograd, had been elected by the
popular vote of his diocese. Patriarch Tikhon himself passed through
the hands of the Cheka-GPU and then died under suspicious
circumstances. Scores of archbishops and bishops perished. Tens of
thousands of priests, monks, and nuns, pressured by the Chekists to
renounce the Word of God, were tortured, shot in cellars, sent to
camps, exiled to the desolate tundra of the far North, or turned out
into the streets in their old age without food or shelter. All these
Christian martyrs went unswervingly to their deaths for the faith;
instances of apostasy were few and far between. For tens of millions
of laymen access to the Church was blocked, and they were forbidden to
bring up their children in the Faith: religious parents were wrenched
from their children and thrown into prison, while the children were
turned from the faith by threats and lies...
For a short period of time, when he needed to gather strength for the
struggle against Hitler, Stalin cynically adopted a friendly posture
toward the Church. This deceptive game, continued in later years by
Brezhnev with the help of showcase publications and other window
dressing, has unfortunately tended to be taken at its face value in
the West. Yet the tenacity with which hatred of religion is rooted in
Communism may be judged by the example of their most liberal leader,
Krushchev: for though he undertook a number of significant steps to
extend freedom, Krushchev simultaneously rekindled the frenzied
Leninist obsession with destroying religion.
But there is something they did not expect: that in a land where
churches have been leveled, where a triumphant atheism has rampaged
uncontrolled for two-thirds of a century, where the clergy is utterly
humiliated and deprived of all independence, where what remains of the
Church as an institution is tolerated only for the sake of propaganda
directed at the West, where even today people are sent to the labor
camps for their faith, and where, within the camps themselves, those
who gather to pray at Easter are clapped in punishment cells--they
could not suppose that beneath this Communist steamroller the
Christian tradition would survive in Russia. It is true that millions
of our countrymen have been corrupted and spiritually devastated by an
officially imposed atheism, yet there remain many millions of
believers: it is only external pressures that keep them from speaking
out, but, as is always the case in times of persecution and suffering,
the awareness of God in my country has attained great acuteness and
profundity.
It is here that we see the dawn of hope: for no matter how formidably
Communism bristles with tanks and rockets, no matter what successes it
attains in seizing the planet, it is doomed never to vanquish
Christianity.
The West has yet to experience a Communist invasion; religion here
remains free. But the West's own historical evolution has been such
that today it too is experiencing a drying up of religious
consciousness. It too has witnessed racking schisms, bloody religious
wars, and rancor, to say nothing of the tide of secularism that, from
the late Middle Ages onward, has progressively inundated the West.
This gradual sapping of strength from within is a threat to faith that
is perhaps even more dangerous than any attempt to assault religion
violently from without.
Imperceptibly, through decades of gradual erosion, the meaning of life
in the West has ceased to be seen as anything more lofty than the
"pursuit of happiness, "a goal that has even been solemnly guaranteed
by constitutions. The concepts of good and evil have been ridiculed
for several centuries; banished from common use, they have been
replaced by political or class considerations of short lived value. It
has become embarrassing to state that evil makes its home in the
individual human heart before it enters a political system. Yet it is
not considered shameful to make dally concessions to an integral evil.
Judging by the continuing landslide of concessions made before the
eyes of our very own generation, the West is ineluctably slipping
toward the abyss. Western societies are losing more and more of their
religious essence as they thoughtlessly yield up their younger
generation to atheism. If a blasphemous film about Jesus is shown
throughout the United States, reputedly one of the most religious
countries in the world, or a major newspaper publishes a shameless
caricature of the Virgin Mary, what further evidence of godlessness
does one need? When external rights are completely unrestricted, why
should one make an inner effort to restrain oneself from ignoble acts?
Or why should one refrain from burning hatred, whatever its basis--
race, class, or ideology? Such hatred is in fact corroding many hearts
today. Atheist teachers in the West are bringing up a younger
generation in a spirit of hatred of their own society. Amid all the
vituperation we forget that the defects of capitalism represent the
basic flaws of human nature, allowed unlimited freedom together with
the various human rights; we forget that under Communism (and
Communism is breathing down the neck of all moderate forms of
socialism, which are unstable) the identical flaws run riot in any
person with the least degree of authority; while everyone else under
that system does indeed attain "equality"--the equality of destitute
slaves. This eager fanning of the flames of hatred is becoming the
mark of today's free world. Indeed, the broader the personal freedoms
are, the higher the level of prosperity or even of abundance--the more
vehement, paradoxically, does this blind hatred become. The
contemporary developed West thus demonstrates by its own example that
human salvation can be found neither in the profusion of material
goods nor in merely making money.
This deliberately nurtured hatred then spreads to all that is alive,
to life itself, to the world with its colors, sounds, and shapes, to
the human body. The embittered art of the twentieth century is
perishing as a result of this ugly hate, for art is fruitless without
love. In the East art has collapsed because it has been knocked down
and trampled upon, but in the West the fall has been voluntary, a
decline into a contrived and pretentious quest where the artist,
instead of attempting to reveal the divine plan, tries to put himself
in the place of God.
Here again we witness the single outcome of a worldwide process, with
East and West yielding the same results, and once again for the same
reason: Men have forgotten God.
With such global events looming over us like mountains, nay, like
entire mountain ranges, it may seem incongruous and inappropriate to
recall that the primary key to our being or non-being resides in each
individual human heart, in the heart’s preference for specific good or
evil. Yet this remains true even today, and it is, in fact, the most
reliable key we have. The social theories that promised so much have
demonstrated their bankruptcy, leaving us at a dead end. The free
people of the West could reasonably have been expected to realize that
they are beset · by numerous freely nurtured falsehoods, and not to
allow lies to be foisted upon them so easily. All attempts to find a
way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we
redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all:
without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain.
The resources we have set aside for ourselves are too impoverished for
the task. We must first recognize the horror perpetrated not by some
outside force, not by class or national enemies, but within each of us
individually, and within every society. This is especially true of a
free and highly developed society, for here in particular we have
surely brought everything upon ourselves, of our own free will. We
ourselves, in our daily unthinking selfishness, are pulling tight that
noose...
Our life consists not in the pursuit of material success but in the
quest for worthy spiritual growth. Our entire earthly existence is but
a transitional stage in the movement toward something higher, and we
must not stumble and fall, nor must we linger fruitlessly on one rung
of the ladder. Material laws alone do not explain our life or give it
direction. The laws of physics and physiology will never reveal the
indisputable manner in which the Creator constantly, day in and day
out, participates in the life of each of us, unfailingly granting us
the energy of existence; when this assistance leaves us, we die. And
in the life of our entire planet, the Divine Spirit surely moves with
no less force: this we must grasp in our dark and terrible hour.
To the ill-considered hopes of the last two centuries, which have
reduced us to insignificance and brought us to the brink of nuclear
and non-nuclear death, we can propose only a determined quest for the
warm hand of God, which we have so rashly and self-confidently
spurned. Only in this way can our eyes be opened to the errors of this
unfortunate twentieth century and our bands be directed to setting
them right. There is nothing else to cling to in the landslide: the
combined vision of all the thinkers of the Enlightenment amounts to
nothing.
Our five continents are caught in a whirlwind. But it is during trials
such as these that the highest gifts of the human spirit are
manifested. If we perish and lose this world, the fault will be ours
alone.

You are correct, but blind about why he did it by your faith......
Marxism was a Jewish idea, started by Jews, run by Jews, certainly enforced
at the KGB by Jews. But, its Jewish roots were to be hidden deep
underground so's not to be noticed. It was partially successful!
America, especially, and the rest of the so-called "West" IS being taken
over by the same hidden Jewish ideology, today. For that ol Aleks was
correct! The Khazars who became the Bolsheviks were/are quite ruthless.
Ask any Palestinian, today.
Here, educate yourself and try not to dream about Jews forcing the "second
coming" of your non-existant deist for an hour or so.....
Aren't you even a tiny bit curious why the USA's government so staunchly
supports Zionist Israel, even if it is attacked multiple times and its
military members murdered at their hands?
If you doubt Zionism is at the root of both attempts to takeover the
superpowers, read what the surviving crew of the attacked ship found out...

Here's a CLUE for you: People who are SERIOUS about helping

(1) They are social liberals -- EGALITARIANS -- who stand up
for the personal liberties and civil/human rights of ALL
people, free of discrimination and bigotry. And actively
do all in their power to EVISCERATE the hate-agendas OF
all people who are ignorant and loathsome enough to
seek to DENY personal liberties to others. And if they
REALLY are doing their jobs right as egalitarians, they are
thinking about, and working on, ways to accomplish that.
24/7. And will not rest until those sociopathic agendas
have been rendered as EXTINCT as segregation!
(2) They actively PRODUCE **original** material that make
people THINK, and encourage them to JOIN in the effort
to defeat bigotry.
In my own case, here are just THREE of hundreds of items that
I have researched, set into graphic forms that hadn't previously

I know the feeling. But censorship is never a good thing.
In fact, in cases like the sort of bigoted CRAP that loons like
Strumpet and "Jon Young"/"IBen Getiner" mindlessly PARROT into
these groups from ignorant and bigoted HATE-sites and -sources,
those posters are inadvertently doing society a FAVOR by
REMINDING lots of people of the hatefulness that society needs
to get RID of.
In so doing, those loony and bigoted posters accomplish the
ONLY *good* thing they do for society --
They earn •• OCR Points •• !!
(See SIG, below, to see how they are SELF-DESTRUCTING
themselves, and DESTROYING the sociopathic hate-agendas
to which they are addicted, by doing that!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The One HUGE Contribution
that Overt Bigots Make to Society:
Earning •• OCR •• Points!
One thing is for sure: No one will ever see an INTELLIGENT
RRR Cult bigot. I.e., those who *openly* oppose the right
of all girls and women who so choose to access the remedy of
abortion-upon-request (Anti-Choicers)... or who seek to DENY
access to across-the-board EQUAL rights (including the right to
marry their chosen same-sex partners) to gays. Or both. (It's
normally both. With most such bigots, it's usually in for a penny,
in for a pound.). Bigotry and IGNORANCE go together.
The ONLY thing that such sociopaths are really good for is
something that all bigots who have openly declared support for
the above two hate-agendas do VERY well: every time they do
it, they automatically build up their own personal stockpiles of
•• OCR •• Points.
And the more Points they earn, the more LUDICROUS those
caricatures of human beings become. And the more society
becomes AWARE, at a now-accelerating pace, that those loath-
some agendas are something that NO intelligent, sensible, or
fair-minded person would want ANYTHING to do with.
So TO all of those who DO so publicly make such total fools
of themselves, leading to the ultimate auto-destruction of their
hate-agendas -- the egalitarians who support, defend, and pro-
mote human/civil rights and personal liberties are everywhere
PRAISING you for this ONE aspect of your personality defect
that accomplishes something GOOD. By earning all those virtual
•• OCR •• Points, you actually (albeit inadvertently) ARE making
a relevant contribution to hastening the *demise* of bigotry,
and in the process you therefore are contributing to making the
USA a far BETTER place.
Before much longer, the American people will reach the point
at which they would find attending a rat fight to be preferable
to having any association with your agendas -- just as happened
with the segregationists. AND -- just as happened to the segreg-
ationists after their agendas swirled down the Drain of Extinction,
those who remain bigots of the *above* ilk will almost all bottle up
their hatefulness in their minds and never openly express it, so
as not to be regarded by their neighbors and society as pariahs.
Now that this more recent set of bigoted agendas is going
down the drain at an ever-accelerating pace, the process is
becoming very entertaining theater for all who are fair-minded
egalitarians. Because the RRR cultists are SO bone-ignorant
that they either don't realize that they're making this positive
contribution, or else they just they can't help themselves. (Yet.)
And in the process, they can't even present any FACTS to sup-
port their hate-agendas, because NO such facts even EXIST!
It's FUN to watch, since the ultimate outcome will be so
BENEFICIAL to America... and to societies all over the world
that will be looking up us for our ENDING these forms of bigotry,
and thus becoming far more admirable and worthy of emulation.
America has done it before -- when it got RID of segregation.
So the precedent for this was set very nicely, 45 years ago.
Most of the egalitarians still living who helped to guide *those*
agendas into oblivion are doubtlessly watching and assisting
*these* agendas to the same doom with equal enthusiasm and
relish! (We've done this before, and we're LOVING this process!)
The Points the bigots earn are virtual, of course, but the
*process* of their earning them has a very REAL impact. That's
why "OCR" stands for •• Operation Consciousness-Raising ••.
