I Love Atlas Shrugged and You Should Too

Ayn Rand a Prophet? Atlas Shrugged a Prophecy?

By: Peter Egan Jr.

God has a sense of humor, choosing a Jewish atheist woman to serve as one of the 20th century's premiere prophets

This blog will be short and sweet because if you've already read Atlas Shrugged, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you have not, all I can say is I wouldn't consider my life to have been lived to the fullest had I not stumbled across what once upon a time was the second-best selling book in the English-speaking world to only the Bible.

As the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy and KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us, perhaps not so coincidentally in 1984 for the latter, American society was being infiltrated at all levels: the government, the media and the education system. This was dismissed as conspiracy theory. Well, that turned out to only be half-true. The half-false part is that it's no theory.

Here is the full-length interview with Bezmenov from 1984:

Besides the obvious in George Orwell whose works needn't be mentioned in this post because they're so self-explanatory that virtually anyone who has made it this far knows that Orwell was a prophet.

It's another 20th century prophet that I'd like to discuss for a moment. I'm sure some orthodox religious believers would call it utter blasphemy to suggest that God would make into a great prophet, a woman Jew who was Jewish in blood only as she is widely reported to have been an atheist (although this contention has been challenged, I am not interested in discussing that).

Atlas Shrugged was the most influential book I've ever read aside from the Bible, and I suggest anyone and everyone who hasn't read it yet do so and do so with an open mind. Think critically, and don't allow opinions other people manipulated you into thinking were your own fool you any longer. Start from scratch and see where you wind up. I'm betting it'll be somewhere near where most everyone else who has studied Rand has with respect to her work (agreement to one degree or another).

There are some affiliate links in this post to some of Rand's works for anyone new to her or anyone who is familiar but just hasn't developed the muster to tackle a book that long in either Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead. I recommend readers new to Rand start with Anthem. It's short, sweet, can be read in its entirety in just a couple of hours, and provides a simplified but nonetheless profound glimpse into Rand's philosophy, expounded upon in her later works.

If you're new to Rand, perhaps view check out the above links in this post and introduce yourself. Your mind will thank you later.

For a little sampling of what you can expect from Atlas Shrugged, here's an excerpt from Francisco's Money Speech, which to me ranks among the most profound, thought provoking soliloquies ever written, a mic drop moment hidden within one of the most profound works of philosophical literature ever written.

The following excerpt from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" is borrowed from Capitalism Magazine. The full speech can be seen here: Francisco's Money Speech.

“Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked, ‘Account overdrawn.’

“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, ‘Who is destroying the world? You are."

For anyone who hasn't yet introduced themselves to this work of art by Rand, consider this your formal introduction and please waste no time in becoming more acquainted.

TwitterCensorship.com For Sale Amid Scandal of Twitter's Censorship of the President, Most Americans

TwitterCensorship.com and Twitter-Censorship.com Web Domain Names Listed For Sale Amid Twitter Censorship Scandal

In lieu of Twitter's totalitarian crackdown on free speech and free thought, CEO Jack Dorsey has only seen his resolve strengthen as he awaits trial from a cell at Guantanamo Bay. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, the entire leftist media and many smaller platforms and publications have attempted to disenfranchise the American electorate by censoring any and all truth, spreading lies and punishing with a fury anyone who dares question their monopoly of information. Twitter censorship and Google censorship have been at the forefront of internet censorship for more than a decade.

They determine what you're allowed to see, hear, read and think. You're not smart enough to do those things for yourself. At least that's what they actually believe.

At 10:03 PM on 11/03/2020, Twitter, in a profound embodiment of hypocrisy, censored a tweet by the President of the United States that isn't even controversial or debatable. It was a factual statement. Nothing about it was speculative, hyperbolic or controversial. And everyone who saw what he tweeted knows this to be true.

At the same time, a tweet by Joe Biden saying the same exact thing, albeit with slightly different wording, was of course left untouched. No disclaimer, no shadowban. No reply deboosting. Joe Biden's comment completely validated the President's Twitter-Censored remark yet one was censored and one was not.

It is because of this type of hypocrisy and Orwellian crackdowns on free speech and free thought that have brought the premium domain names TwitterCensorship.com and Twitter-Censorship.com to the forefront of the world of premium online real estate.

The domains have been made available for purchase by internet real estate mogul and social media savant Peter Egan (me). I've been censored for more than a decade, and watching what was done to me in 2009 be done to the entirety of the American population, I couldn't sit back and fail to take action any longer.

I am open to selling the properties to someone fully committed to developing them into a historical reference that will ensure future generations never forget that in 2020, America nearly entered a time machine back to 1984. I am also open to partnering in development, and/or even donating the domains to the right individual or organization. Please email me at peter.egan.81@gmail.com if you or someone you know may be interested in one or more of these propositions.

A few other semi-related domains are also being made available in lieu of the unprecedented corruption by the American political left, the great evil of our time. They are listed below.

Premium Anti-Orwellian Fascism Domain Names For Sale:

• TwitterCensorship.com
• Twitter-Censorship.com
• TwitterVictims.com
• TheClinton.Foundation
• Reform.College

*Inquiries: Please email peter.egan.81@gmail.com to discuss the transfer of rights of one or more of the above web properties, and/or to discuss partnering in development of one or more of the aforementioned.

One that is not for sale is Egan.News. There is no website there at present, but that domain will be the starting point for the media organization which through objective, unbiased reporting, will replace CNN, MSNBC, the NYT, WaPo, USA Today, LA Times, ABC, NBC, etc. Unlike the others mentioned, my news organization will not answer to anyone, be beholden to anyone or do anyone's bidding. It won't merge with a political party or become invovled in politics at all beyond objective reporting. It will not attempt to censor certain viewpoints, even if I personally disagree with them. It will help to preserve free speech, return integrity to journalism, and return journalism to "news." 

[The above paragraph is dedicated to @EntheosShines (he knows why)]

If you're not familiar with me, I'm Peter Egan. I am one of the world's foremost experts in news media, social media and search engine censorship. I will elaborate upon this statement in a follow-up post. For now, you'll have to take my word for it. I will replace the previous sentence and this one with a link to that subsequent post when I finish writing it.

Suffice it to say, I was among the first (maybe the first) to experience such draconian, targeted censorship online. I've been censored online since at least 2007, with Google going so far as to remove political blogs and news websites from search results in 2009 when my reporting became inconvenient to the Obama-Clinton domestic and foreign policy. Entire platforms were purchased to silence me when their founders refused to.

If Chris McGill had been willing to sell his soul the way Jack Dorsey did, Twitter never emerges as the global, non-localized, non-niche social platform. McGill and I disagree about politics. But I would fight to defend his right to speak his mind, and I'm more than sure he's fought many fights defending mine. More on that in the follow-up post to come sometime later this week or next.

Even today, I'm shadowbanned by Twitter (and every other form of censored besides account termination), no longer use Facebook and Google censors not only anything I publish online, but also my search results! It doesn't matter what I search for Google returns a set or arbitrary results completely unrelated to the search query. I've been compiling a slideshow of screenshots as I reckon I'll probably have to testify in court at some point so I'm trying to get a head start on preparation.

I will post a few when I update this post later this morning. If you come across this post on social media or email, please share with everyone you know as no Big Tech search engine is going to allow my dangerous thoughts to be found by the feeble-minded general public (their opinions of you, not mine).

To purchase TwitterCensorship.com or Twitter-Censorship.com outright without direct negotiations and at an inflated price, please see the below link, and please pardon the layout and design. The store is under construction.
