there’s this logical line of thought, and now I completely understand North Korea, I completely understand China, which restrict access to social networks and control all this. No matter how people laugh at them, they are right. It’s just that short-sighted people who don’t want to think find it easier to draw a conclusion like this: “This country is good — it gives freedom. And those countries are bad — look, they restrict us. What right do they have? We are a free people.” That’s exactly how all sorts of lazy people and those inclined toward temptations, sins, and so on justify themselves and choose those countries where the evil Spirit is most heavily propagated, the one that presents itself as “I will give you, people, freedom.” But believe me, development and freedom are actually found in discipline, in self-control — not when you let everything go and don’t care whether you’ve washed or not, or how you speak with older people, and so on. Chaos is not freedom. But people have been very well deceived. So there is no such thing as a country — I used to think that way too, I admit it honestly — but it turns out it’s not even about the country, it’s simply that this Spirit is not tied to any country, it is manifested in all countries of the world. It’s just that somewhere — in Arab, Muslim countries — this Spirit of temptation doesn’t exist, it’s very poorly manifested there, because there, to their credit, people of spiritual strength and authority hold the line. And in some countries, the weaker ones, they immediately let this Spirit in, and it began to take root and spread in all people. Well, take the United States of America, for example. I’m not a politician, I’m not a professional in all this. But what do I see? There too this situation occurred — they let in, at some point, this Spirit of perversion, let’s call it the “Spirit of Perversion.” They let it in, and it began to manifest, and it manifested very strongly in Los Angeles, in San Francisco, and in New York it began to manifest strongly. But if I now turn on films from the 1990s, that Spirit is almost absent. That is, 1990s films — like “It Takes Two” with the Olsen sisters — there’s such kindness there. Or the movie “Twister,” also from around 1990, it has that American kindness. And the most interesting thing is, those people are still there. That Spirit — that kind American Spirit — remains, it’s just that those people, they’re in Texas, as I understand. And I was told that these people have now all moved to Florida, because the laws there are somehow different. Which is also interesting — imagine, the state of Florida, I didn’t used to like Miami, but now everything has changed to the point
