When I first read Atlas Shrugged, I almost stopped after about 50 pages. I could not comprehend the premise that the nation’s economy could be so broken and no one was addressing the problems. How naïve I was in 2009. Dagny Taggart’s character was well written except for the fact that she could not accept the inevitable conclusion that the country was doomed. John Galt and the residents of Galt’s Gulch understood and played a waiting game for when the time came to rebuild from the ashes.
Majorie Taylor Greene is not Dagny: she accepted the reality that the government does not represent the people and that there is no way to save our Republic.
Her crime was simple: she pointed out that the government is bought and paid for by the Israeli government. People point out other issues with her that they do not agree with but this is the crux of the matter as Rep. Massie is also attacked for the same reason.
Albert Einstein once stated:
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
This variant is clearer:
“A true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but the ability to change your mind when presented with new evidence.”
Sometimes we are presented with new evidence but mainly we are presented bad information or will not accept the truth. Here are some truths that we need to accept:
- Israel is not our friend. Example: USS Liberty.
- The government does not represent the citizens of the United States.
- Our elections still are not secure.
- Our judicial system is corrupted and weaponized.
- We are economically bankrupt.
- Corporations and foreign governments control our politicians through bribes, blackmail and more power.
- Both parties collude for the benefit of the uniparty. Examples: the recent government shutdown and the release of the Epstein files.
- Digital currency will replace physical currency in order to control us.
- The government funded the development of SARS-COV2 virus.
- The government funded the development of mRNA gene therapy to negatively impact our health, fertility and lives.
MTG acknowledges and accepts what Dagny (and Americans) could not. Let the ashes of the Republic blow away in the wind and let us start rebuilding. Let us learn from our mistakes and lapse in faith to make a new beacon of light for our children. There is no John Galt coming to help us but our path forward is clear.
It certainly is prudent, and only costs a few more days in the end, so why risk it. The point…
