We should be recommending, gifting Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged to everyone we know -
Written 51 years ago, it has sold over 5 million copies. It needs to be read by everyone by age 20.
( http://www.enotes.com/atlas-shrugged) " According to a 1991 Library of Congress report, it is considered the second most influential book after the Bible in the lives of its readers. A complex combination of mystery, love story, social criticism, and philosophical concepts, the 1,100 page novel embodies the author's passionate celebration of individualism, free will, capitalism, logic, and reason.
Set in an imaginary America in a communist world, Atlas Shrugged is a sharp critique of a corrupt communist system and its damaging effects on areas as various as love, science, and industrial productivity."
Rand was born and grew up in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution. She knew the steps that lead to a country being taken over by Communism. (She taught Ronald Reagan well)...
She considered Atlas Shrugged her life's work and never wrote another line of fiction after it was published.
In the book, she weaves the steps of encroaching Marxist take-over of the USA into a rip-snorting novel with romance, intrigue, pirates, et al...so while enjoying a great read, the reader is also educated to recognize the signs of the Marxist's incremental machinations that finally render a country and it's people slaves to Communism.
I remember Kruschev banging his shoe on the UN podium in ""Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you...and we will not have to fire a shot." His time line was 50 years. They had a detailed list of steps to accomplish this goal. They have accomplished nearly 100% of that list...while the Sheeple sleep.
Here are a couple clips everyone should listen to carefully = the first one, in the UN, a repeat of Kruschev's threat and the reaction of others, including the answer by the then UN Sec. Gen., Doug Hammarskjold ((1953-1961) Mr. Hammarskjöld)- watch the pounding on the desks by the Soviet reps as the rest of the members applaud. Hammarskjold was perhaps the UN's last Sec. Gen. defender of freedom. He was 'killed' in 1961 - and the UN has gone downhill ever since.
"Two former United Nations officials said in a letter to a British newspaper this week that they believe gunfire from mercenaries caused the plane crash that killed Dag Hammarskjold, Secretary General of the United Nations, in 1961 in Africa

Atlas Shrugged" is finally being made into a movie - and was sheduled to hit the screens this spring - however, it has been delayed until sometime next year...well AFTER the election. Could it be that the powers that be - the Marxists in DC and their Comrades in Hollywood were afraid that too many people would watch and wake up?
It's a wonder the book, itself, is still allowed to be printed.....
Wake up, Sheeple
I read Atlas Shrugged in the 70s which is probably a major reason I became a conservative. Conserving that which is good while rejecting contemporary drivel with a personal political agenda passing as a new idea, hope, or change for the worst possible outcome.
