It gave me an eerie feeling to see my efforts and writings being disappeared in this way from one day to another by Google. George Orwell’s “Memory Hole” immediately came to mind. For me, however, it is especially distressing to see this, because when I left communism for the West some three decades ago, I would have never thought I would ever experience this kind of thing again. Unbelievably, it is now happening here as well. Who would have ever thought such a thing possible in America, a country that has always been seen as a citadel of liberty and free speech by the peoples of the world?
If we want to preserve our freedoms, people of goodwill need to stand up against the encroaching totalitarianism in whatever way is appropriate to our situation. If you care what becomes of our society and what we leave to our children, I urge you to support the outlets that stand for liberty, for Western civilization, for decency, and for the values of classical liberalism.
May we be able to freely say and express what we feel is true.
May the totalitarians among us not succeed in their unwholesome works.
May our liberty and civilization be preserved.
And may God watch over us and help us.
So, I pray.
