Who is John Galt?
This is my strategy. I’m going to stop being productive. I’m going to restrict my work to my family and myself. This isn’t an original idea - it’s the premise of “Atlas Shrugged.” If the looters want to confiscate my money and property, I guess they have the ability to do so, but if they want to me be productive to help their efforts, they’ll have a heck of time forcing me to work harder.
If you’re a business owner, cut back to the minimum. If you’re a worker, don’t work hard. Just buy what you need to survive. If this is successful, the state will starve to death.
Call this the Cloward-Piven strategy in reverse. The system currently depends on the hard work and efforts of the productive to maintain itself. If the state wants to confiscate that wealth, then I can see no reason to be productive. The system - that is, the leftist welfare state - will collapse from its own internal contradictions. The left depends on the productive, from whom they steal wealth. Stop giving it to them.
I don’t propose that the productive hide in a Colorado gulch. I propose that the productive hide in plain sight. Just do what you can to cut back, reduce spending, and being unproductive. This requires no organization, no leadership, no hierarchy, no planning, no meetings - and, therefore, it can’t be stopped or defeated. Just stop being productive.
In the meantime, if the state wants to treat me like a slave, I’ll respond like a slave - sullen obedience, half-assed work, timewasting, subtle undermining.
When the looters collapse upon themselves, then I’ll start being productive again - and it’ll probably be the job of a generation or two to repair the damage, so there will be plenty of work for those willing to do it.
Who is John Galt?
The working title of Atlas Shrugged before it was published was “The Strike”.
He’s freaking nutcase!!
“Writers such as David Icke, Ryan Burke, Jüri Lina and Morgan Gricar, have argued that the Bavarian Illuminati survived, “possibly to this day”. Many of these theories propose that world events are being controlled and manipulated by a secret society calling itself the Illuminati.”
“Thus, “Illuminati” claims are an attack on the humanistic values of modern society, as well as an attack on the specific religious minorities that are scapegoated and demonized - in much the same way that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forgery by the Russian secret police back in the 1890’s, were intended as a royalist attack on democracy, as well as an attack on Jews.”

Any time I hear about the illuminati conspiracy and particularly the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, I run backwards. I see no evidence of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to control the world.
I do see the Muzzies openly stating they want to do that, and the Commies (athiest) also.
Support State Sovereignty and this stuff wont matter!!
How do you feel about Jack McLamb?
Never heard of him.
Of course he is a puppet, but not to a conspiracy that is over 200 years old. Thieves cannot hold things together that long.
Evil men, Yes. Intent on destroying the U.S., Yes. But calling themselves the illuminati, NO.
I don’t know if I’m overreacting or not, but I told a relative we would see civil disobedience before the year is out.
Watching Dr. Zhivago last weekend obviously didn’t help me a bit.
If he’s an Alex Jones fan he’ a wacko.
Alex Jones = aid and comfort to the enemy.
Just because a few witless goofballs are obsessing over an obvious fraud doesn't mean that there aren't powerful control freaks in this world with eschatological fantasies.
Thanks for illuminating my knowledge on the Illuminati
“I’ve noticed that he is trying to guard against going ‘tin foil’ or getting too conspiratorial but I guess he sees the writing on the wall.”
I would imagine Rush is always thinking similarly to us “little folks.” He just doesn’t say some things on air to keep from giving libs ammo. I would bet he even shares the same concerns about The O’s illegitimacy that many of us do, but he will never say it...especially since he is now the #1 enemy of this administration.
The system in China is working, even though it doesn't provide liberties. It's working economically - they will be one of the few countries this year that shows a positive growth in GDP. That's only because they are cash rich due to the World buying there slave labor crap. However, they are laying off millions of workers and closing thousands of factories. Why? Because the US and Europe is not buying their tainted crap. But still, I'm sure the Utopians are encouraged by China's growth and quasi-free enterprise system. SofS Hillary was just over there glad-handing everyone she could. What else is knew for the clintons?
So yes, there is a conspiracy to take America down. The reasoning is why should we be so prosperous while others are so poor?
Why should some live without (2) televisions and no High-Definition when others have it? Why should some go without TV at all, now that the digital conversion is happening? Why should some not have (2) cars? Why should some not have their own real estate? Why should some not have guaranteed income?
After all, we should be a compassionate enlightened nation that believes the "pursuit of happiness" now means the "guarantee of happiness", much like Europe has become.
Well, sorry boys and girls. It won't work and I can only hope others see that and are truly willing to FIGHT against it. Fight means getting your hands dirty and sacrificing. There were once a bunch of well-off men who sacrificed all to secure their rights against a monarchy. Got names?
Not only that, Rush has to be very cautious of what he says because of the potential reaction from listeners.
Could you imagine if he got on his show and said it was revolt at all cost time?
