Atlas Shrugged Movie will Likely Cause More People to "Go Galt"

Notice that there are three people from the series Lost.

Atlas, the Movie, may actually get made. One of the reasons is that the people who have the option to make the movie have to start shooting in 2010 or the option expires.

I just hope they don't butcher it.

I dutifully did my two years as an Objectivist, over 40 years ago, when the Objectivist was still in print, and the Rand/Brandon affair had yet to go public. I managed to slog through Atlas Shrugged once. I think.

Lew Rockwell currently is showing a reprint of a piece that Murray Rothbard did about Rand and the Senior Collective.

There is a huge problem with the Keepers of the Objectivist Torch. I visited one Objectivist website. They were all about war. Pure, preemptive, aggressive war. I do not know if they are all like that.

Even if Jolie and the AS movie makers make a mockery of AS, this is still an opportunity. The superstars will drag people to the movies...some will go to the book.

We have to push as many to the actual book as possible.

Heck, the superstars will likely draw lots of well-intentioned Dem voters...which is a market we haven't penetrated much.

The opponents to Ayn Rand generally come from the left saying that Ayn Rand's solution (leave the existing community and start a small pure one) is not practical...and frankly, if you want to stick around and 'fix' the USA, they have a point.

However, the origin of the USA parallels AS in that a small pure community (the 13 colonies) was created. The US, for a hot second, was Galt's Gulch. We have to really be ready with knowledge to teach people about how external forces infiltrated several major components of our country (religion, corporations, government), weakened them, and turned our country over to the Judeo/Christian world order.

We must be ready to explain how most of the founding members struggled with:

-struggled with religious organizations to assure they weren't too influential

-warned us about corporations becoming too big...especially the banking. This leads into the multi-generational fight to keep our economy, Andrew Jackson's victory over the Bank, the Bank's victory leading to the Federal Reserve, the gold standard, up to now.

-split government up into levels as a safeguard to prevent one federal government (the real reason for the war between the states)

I have been waiting for this to happen for so long now. It would be a real eye opener for the public and those in government that don't fully realize there impact on society. Although it is mostly common sense and rational thinking. This would however, seem radical thinking in a backwards brainwashed society as ours. I've even had a friend tell me my way is to radical. Ummm... well no not really. Besides the shirts and bumper stickers there are ACCS approved silver John Galt coins from librecoins.com.
