ABOUT GULAG AMERICA

What is Gulag America?

Something is rotten in the state of America. You feel it. We all feel it. Like running on a treadmill with an ever-steepening incline; in constant motion, requiring more and more effort, yet ultimately going nowhere. The more we give, the more they take. And the greater the lengths to which they will go to obscure their motives and goals.

"Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”

- George Orwell, 1984

The Bolsheviks established the original gulags during the Russian Civil War as instruments of political repression and retribution. Their purpose? To punish and isolate political rivals, social disrupters, and other disloyal elements, whose thoughts and actions did not contribute to the “dictatorship of the proletariat.” The new regime sent inmates to remote outposts in all corners of the country, reaching its diabolical height under Stalin’s reign, with estimates of over 18 million incarcerees and nearly 2 million deaths.

“The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers  stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no ideology.  Ideology – that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification  … and helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes…”

— Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

A noted historian claims that the goal of the Gulag was to cleanse the social body of hostile elements, through spatial isolation and physical elimination of individuals defined as harmful.” Certainly not a new idea; history is rife with example after example of the state asserting its authority over the individual; The Spanish Inquisition, the French Reign of Terror, the Holocaust, China’s Cultural Revolution, Cambodia’s Killing Fields, and so on. All with the same essential message: Get your mind right, or else!


Which brings us to Gulag America.

“Piss not, thou poxy knave, upon mine shoes And counsel unto me the rain doth fall!”

— William Shakespeare, All’s Wet That Ends Wet

Let’s be clear, we call ourselves Gulag America, not to celebrate the notion, but to raise the alarm against it.



We wlll not “get our minds right” about media and corporate shills called “independent fact-checkers” who tell us what or what not to believe. We will not “get our minds right” and accept blame for any undefined evils based solely on the facts of our biology, and not on the content of our character. We will not “get our minds right” about any so-called “common sense” infringements on our Constitutional rights to speech, assembly, worship, or self-defense.


A lie is a lie is a lie, no matter how often--or for what purpose—it’s told. And we know the purpose – control. Hence, the gulag. Control those they can with the lie; isolate and damn the rest. Grant victim status to their allies; condemn as perpetrators their foes. Delete our history so we forget who we are; paste a future so we become what they intend. We know the game and they know we know, but they don’t care.


Why? Because, control.
