I used to think Ayn Rand was great.
Then I graduated from High School, and actually learned that Plato was not behind all the evil in the world. LOL.
Her discussion of “Love” in this clip quite effectively demonstrates how warped she was. Later, she actually demanded that her “protégé,” who was decades younger her and had no interest, ditch his wife for her. Then in typical “Cook-Your- Rabbit” style Borderline Personality Disorder, she turned on both of them claiming they were the worst people in the world.
Oh ... but Paul Ryno likes her.

FTA “Throughout the entirety of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Washington Post and all the other corporate media propagandists claimed Russian influence was what made Hillary Clinton lose. Every minuscule story that even hinted about Russia using bots and spreading pro-Trump messaging on social media was blown up to be massive front page news.
They’ve finally published a story about Russian influence in the 2016 election that didn’t make the front page. In fact, you’d have a hard time finding it on their website if you weren’t looking for it specifically. This is because it highlights a recent study that shows Russia’s “massive” digital influence in the 2016 election didn’t really do anything at all.
They could have ended the article there and moved on. Instead, it behooved them to spend the rest of the unnecessarily long article talking about how this doesn’t prove they were wrong the past six years. They even made a list of all the reasons the study itself is probably inaccurate. Seriously. The next line in their article is even printed in bold to make sure their readers don’t think this study is conclusive (which it is): But the study doesn’t go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.”
“the Pulitzers honored — a 2018 National Reporting prize shared by the Washington Post and the New York Times for reporting on Russiagate” it lead to mass delusion and it took 6 years for them to report the truth only to caveat the truth at the end!! So if only one person was influenced by Russian bots their story is still true? The truth to these newspaper rags is like Dracula seeing the cross!!!

From the Twitter Files: Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging his company’s massively profitable Covid jabsTo funnel his demands, Gottlieb used the same Twitter lobbyist the White House did – fresh evidence of overlap between the company selling mRNA shots and the government forcing them on the public.

Great video by someone who is highly credentialed in propaganda dynamics and tactics. Conclusion: Covid 19 is a propaganda masterpiece.

Linked at CFP a good Lee Smith interview that parallels Sundance’s work and provides some optimism and thoughts at the end.
