Night 2 of the series of selections from Solzhenitsyn's "Warning to the West", published in 1976. This is part of his speech to the AFL-CIO on 30 June 1975. Solzhenitsyn had just survived 10 years in the Soviet Gulags, and had been exiled from his homeland. He wrote the Gulag Archipelago and won a Nobel Prize for doing so, back when that award had some meaning.
Let me remind you of a recent incident which some of you may
have read about in the newspapers, although others might have missed it:
certain of your businessmen, on their own initiative, set up an exhibit of
criminological technology in Moscow. This was the most recent and elaborate technology that here, in your country, is
used to catch criminals, to bug them, to spy on them, to photograph them, to
tail them, to identify them. It was all
put on exhibit in Moscow in order that the Soviet KGB agents could study it, as
if the businessmen did not understand what sort of criminals would be hunted
down by the KGB.
The Soviet government was extremely interested in this technology
and decided to purchase it. And your businessmen
were quite willing to sell it. Only when
a few sober voices here raised an uproar against it was this deal
blocked. But you must realize how clever
the KGB is. This technology didn’t have
to stay two or three weeks in a Soviet building under Soviet guard. Two or three nights were enough for the KGB to
examine and copy it. And if today,
persons are being hunted down by the best and most advanced technology, for
this I can also thank you, Western capitalists.
Think of what happened in Hong Kong last year. How the CCP completely steam rolled that
entire island, despite their promises of 1997.
They used American technology to create biometrics and roll up an entire
opposition, deport them to the mainland, and imprison them in Gulags…
Just like the 1920s in the USSR. We’ve allowed our elites to do this once. Silicon valley is fucking doing it
again. Sit up and take notice.
