Paragraphs 85-89 take on the use of force.  Force would never be allowed on Galt’s world.  The use of force kills people’s minds.  In our world, the use of mind control, stalking, and Electronic Harassment and Torture control people’s actions and minds and eventually kill the targets.  Being a ti kills your free will.  MInd Control and Stalking is SLAVERY.  One cannot use their mind to its best use when force is used.  Even religion is a farce if this life of horrors drives one to become religious.  It is a fake religion of coercion and not love towards God.

Paragraph 85 says that force is a fate worse than death and that death is preferable to being controlled.  I agree.

“Whoever of whatever purpose or extent initiates the use of force, is a killer acting on the premise of death in a manner wider than murder:  the premise of destroying man’s capacity to live.”

In paragraph 87 Galt says force will cause man NOT to think/act in a rational way, therefore, the one with a gun (or a V2k gun, or a gang of stalkers, or a bunch of satanic goons spreading rumors and destruction in the ti’s community) forces the victim to act against his own self interest and cause a slow death.

“You place him into a world where the price of his life is the surrender of all.  the virutes required by life–and death by a process of gradual destruction is all that you and your system will achieve when death is made to be the ruling power, the winning argument in a society of men”

Galt will not reason with the looters, he will push back.  He will NOT deal with those who wish to control him OR TO BE CONTROLLED BY HIM. 

“I do not grant the terms of reason to men who propose to deprive me of reason.  I DO NOT ENTER DISCUSSIONS WITH NEIGHBORS WHO THINK THEY CAN FORBID ME TO THINK. 

Why “discuss” anything with a perp?  When a man attempts to deal with me by force, I answer him by force.

Galt discusses when force can by used here by Paragraph 90.  Force must be only used in RETALIATION.  There must be NO pre-emptive, preventative “wars” that go on forever like, Vietnam or Iraq.  The old American policy of only getting involved when necessary was good for a free country.  The uselessness of the Iraq war has already been proved.  There were no WMDs and no “yellowcake” to make them with, Saddam Hussein, the real reason for the war, is long dead and the Iraqi citizens do not want their country taken over.  Gas prices have risen 300% since late 2001 while dubya’s fat cat friends laugh all the way to the bank and “conservatives” go on sawing on their violins that a “terror threat” still exists, and the US must make perpetual war with the world to stop “terrorism”.

Finally, by paragraph 91, Galt issues an ultimatum–the looters must put down their guns in order to live in a revitalized industrial society.  They will NEVER do it, of course.  A bully must bully to get by.

“You have been using fear as your weapon and have been bringing death to man as his punishment for rejecting your morality.”

Galt says the bullies of the mind must die and/or capitulate in order for Galt to “fix” America.

Paragraph 92 starts to transition into the Morality of Death by introducing the Zero.  Something is not the negation of another thing.  Producers will not produce just in order to be LEFT ALONE.  Ti’s should not change their lives in order to receive less harassment:  when will weak ti’s quit dancing to the perps’ tune and not out other ti’s just for a little relief that will not last?  When will people band together against the satanic perps and not EVER GIVE IN to their ridiculous demands?

Paragraph 93 ends the Morality of Life and begins the Morality of Death.  Galt describes the lengths non thinkers will go to to avoid thinking including religion, blind conformity, and the famous “blanking out”.  This is the introduction to the Morality of Death:

“You seek escape from pain.  We seek the achievement of happiness.  You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment.  We exist for the sake of earning rewards.  Threats will not make us function;  fear is not our incentive.  It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live.”

This part is finally over.  Next the Morality of Death, and the abomination of “mystics”.  The Morality of Death covers Paragraph 94 through Paragraph 230 and covers how the “mystics of spirit” or religious leaders are in Paragraph 195 through Paragraph 208.  The Morality of Death is begun in Paragraph 94 with the Concept of Original Sin.  See you then.

In paragraph 67, Galt starts describing the 7 Virtues.  The first one is Rationality.  The truth that existence exists and that one must reason from the basis of reality not religious faith or what is fashionable in society.  Galt says that faith is mental abdication. I disagree with this and think there is life beyond the five senses and what scientists can perceive.  I believe in a supernatural God, and Galt would think I was a fool and mentally lazy going after a “zero” such as a fake God.

I believe we cannot know with our limited human mind everything there is to know in the universe.  I believe in a single God that does know all and has all wisdom and knowledge and is willing to share it only to the people who believe in Him.  I will never put blind faith in any “expert” especially any kind of social consultant or counselor or shrink!  Using facts to solve a problem is great, but I personally need faith in God to see me to the end when I will no longer need to go to war with satan’s little helpers.

Paragraph 68 deals with the Virtue of Independence.  Galt says you are to be self-reliant.  No one can live for you.  Most importantly, one on can do your thinking for you, not your friends, family, pastors, rabbis, imams, senators, presidents or even kings! 

“The vilest form of self abasement is the subordination of your mind to the mind on another.  The acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as middle-men between your consciousness and your existence”

Paragraph 69 is about Integrity.  Galt says you must be true to your convictions no matter what, even if it hurts.  (Especially if you are a Christian in these Last Days).  Courage as another virtue, will be needed to remain true to yourself as you are tried again and again by people who keep trying to rule you day after day.

“He may not sacrifice his convictions to the wishes of others, be it the whole of mankind shouting please or threats against him.”

Paragraph 70 is about Honesty.  Galt says never to attempt to fool others.  It will always backfire.  You will become a slave to your lies and the people you’ve lied to since you need to depend on their continued blindness to go on.  Being a politician must be hard.

“…neither love nor fame nor cash is a value (although valuable) if obtained by fraud–that an attempt to gain a value by deceiving the mind of other is an act of raising your victims to a position higher than reality, where you become a pawn of THEIR BLINDNESS, a slave of their non-thinking and their evasions, while their intelligence, their rationality, ther PERCEPTIVENESS become the enemies you have to dread and flee–that you do not care to live as a DEPENDENT, least of all a dependent on the stupidity of other, or as a fool whose source of values is the fools he he succeeds in fooling–that honesty is not a social duty, not a sacrifice for the sake of others, but the most profoundly selfish (selfish is good in Galt’s world) Virtues man can practice:  his refusal to sacrifice the reality of his own existence to the deluded consciousness of others.”

Paragraph 71 is about the Virtue of Justice.  Every person in your life must be judged impartially.  Galt does not accept that LOVE can cover over vices, but that people must EARN love according to their virtues.  I find this cruel but also useful in judging strangers I’ve never met along with all the ridiculous precautions a target must make in dealing with the outside world.

“…every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that is just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero.”

NEVER JUDGE EVIL OVER GOOD EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS MORE ATTRACTIVE.

Paragraph 72 continues Justice.  This quote shows the perp system/satan system for what it is:

The ultimate evil is to “…punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that is the collapse to FULL DEPRAVITY, the Black Mass of the worship of death and the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.”

Paragraph 73 concerns Productiveness.  This very important paragraph on the importance of work shows what work should be in the life of a rational person.  A person should do the work he/she is born to do according to the power of their mind and/or STRENGTH of their talents.  Even the Bible says one should not bury their talents, but put them to use for the Kingdom.  Galt says one must put his talents to use for himself to attain happiness.

“…all work is creative work if doen by a thinking mind, and no work is creaive is done by a blank who repeats in unciritcal stupor a routine he has learned from others…”

“…to cheat your way into a job bigger than your mind can handle (examples all around) is to become a fear corroded ape on borrowed motions and borrowed time and to SETTLE DOWN INTO A JOB THAT REQUIRES LESS THAN YOUR MIND’S FULL CAPACITY IS TO CUT YOUR MOTOR AND SENTENCE YOURSELF TO ANOTHER KIND OF MOTION–DECAY–that your work is the PROCESS OF ACHIEVING YOUR VALUES AND TO LOSE YOUR AMBITION FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF VALUES IS TO LOSE YOUR AMBITION TO LIVE–that your body is a machine, but your mind is its driver,, and you must drive as far as your mind will take you.”

“The man who has no purpose (becomes a perp haha) is a machine that coasts downhill at the mercy of any boulder to crash at the first chance ditch, that the man who stifles his mind is a stalled machine slowly going to rust, THAT THE MAN WHO LETS A LEADER PRESCRIBE HIS COURSE IS A WRECK BEING TOWED TO THE SCRAP HEAP, AND THE MAN WHO MAKES ANOTHER MAN HIS GOAL IS A HITCHIKER NO DRIVER SHOULD EVER PICK UP!”

Paragraph 73 is like Atlas Shrugged in a nutshell…Paragraph 74 is the Virtue of Pride.  I totally disagree with Galt’s idea of a man shaping his soul,

“…in the image of man.”

You must be the best person GOD created you to be. I DO NOT BELIEVE that a man

“is a self made soul”

That is a horror that I can’t perceive of.  I am glad I’m a creation of God although I do not understand His Purpose for my life at all!  I never would have chosen this myself.  Galt says,

“…that the proof of an acheived self-esteem is yout soul’s shudder of contempt and REBELLION against the role of sacrificial animal.”

Then Galt rejects Jesus sacrifice on the Cross, which is easy since Galt’s Creator was Jewish before became she became an atheist.  I think we should always be ourselves and not be swallowed up by anyone including religious leaders BUT the highest value is not personal consciousness but the knowledge of and faith in the Living God of Infinity.

Here ends the Virtues.  I will let the rest of the Morality of Life go until tomorrow.

In paragraph 60 Galt introduces blanking out.  Blanking out is seeing but refusing to aknowledge something:  in other words, denial.  He says that is another way of being a living corpse.  In paragraph 61, Galt says when you know something, and say you don’t know something, you are saying “I’m not alive”.  Reality exists:  it’s real and denying it is death.  In other words seeing all the Organized Stalking in your community and acting like it dosen’t exist does not make it go away.

“When a man declares: ‘who am I to know?’–he is declaring, ‘who am I to live?’

In paragraph 62 Galt says if something does NOT EXIST it’s a ZERO.  If A is NOT A, then it’s a zero.  If he can’t touch feel or smell it or hear or see it or take a scientist’s word for it, it’s a zero.

Galt gives his view that morality is NOT social by paragraph 64.  He says you would need his kind of morals the MOST on a desert island where you’d need to think the most to survive. 

In paragraph 66, Galt introduces the 3 Values and 7 Virtues.  The three Values are Reason, Purpose, and Self-Esteem.  Reason is needed to think, Self-Esteem is to be sure of your thoughts, and Purpose is a person’s chosen life-path or goals.  To expand the idea of purpose in Galt’s world it would be a monomania towards business success that Rand heroes have.  They set and keep life goals early and do not deviate from them no matter how much work it takes.  Social situations leave them cold, but work is life to them.  Everyone needs a life purpose or evil will take over.  The villians in Rand’s novels have no life purpose and fall to destroying others as their pupose.  Idle hands are the non-existent devil’s workshop according to Galt/Rand.

The description of Self Esteem I have needs a footnote but how do I make one here?  I have a rant and go off on a tangent here.  Oh dear, it requires one use some HTML…I’m scared about messing it up.  Maybe I’ll just put it in color print.

Galt says that Self Esteem is to be sure of your thoughts AND to know you are worthy of living.  This includes valuing your MIND and not giving it over to a psychiatrist to destroy.  In other words, do not let any shrink tell you your thoughts are worthless or due to a “chemical imbalance”.  You have a competent mind (in most cases).  Do not let him/her tell you you have some terrible mental disorder based on a book designed to deceive people and leave victims of harassment helpless.  Did you know that psychiatrists HAVE to use the DSM-IV when diagnosing patients?  Who made that rule?  The ones who want to silence you as a human being and negate your existence.  Don’t let these psychiatrists (most of them perp tools, I’m sure) offer you mind altering drugs which you must take the REST OF YOUR LIFE or else you won’t be able to “function”.  It is not true:  you own a brain, use it, don’t let emotions dredged up by harassers rule your life and give you a false diagnosis at the hands of psychiatry!  Remember this especially if you are a target reading this.  They are trying to shut you up and totally destroy your credibility.

If you are NOT a target, use a trial run of the medication to see if it actually helps–and, if it does, take it.  Otherwise, you have probably been falsely diagnosed with a mental illness that will follow you the rest of your life with all it’s stigma attached.  It will throttle job opportunities when prospective employers snoop into your records and destroy potential romantic relationships if your lover finds out you are “crazy” or taking “crazy meds”.  If you don’t need the meds just to live from day to day get out of the shrink trap now!  Some doctors are lazy and will diagnose a mental disorder when a physical problem exists and they are too lazy to investigate the symptoms.  This is especially true with women, especially overweight women.  Some doctors are given perks, some of them large, to prescribe the pills.  Others just want to dope the crap out of the whole population with the idea that if everyone is traquilized they are less dangerous since emotions are messy and people who feel also think.  Satan does not like that.

If you fall into the shrink trap even if it’s no fault of your own, you will probably never get to see what is written in the “records” they keep at the mental hospital if they can get you in one.  My blog began with all the trauma I suffered at the hands of psychiatry when young.  Reliving all the misery and self hatred I had when I was just out of the hospital made me sick.  It might have ruined my whole life and gotten me targetted as well.  Parents who look for an easy way out and run their children to shrinks should have to take the pills themselves.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND NOT QUALIFIED TO EXTEND MEDICAL ADVICE, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.

I’d like to say that if a person is acutely upset they probably need some kind of care nevertheless.  Just don’t let it be a lifetime gig unless you really do have the disorder on a chronic basis.  Some people just flip out temporarily and only need short term treatment.  Usually it’s situation based and a normal reaction to a bad life situation.  Once a person has managed to learn to cope with the setback they should not have to be on psych dope for the rest of their lives unless they absolutely need it.

 

This tangent might get me arrested and/or locked in the looney bin if I don’t watch out.  Nothing angers my perps more than when I take a stand against psychiatry.  I find it’s a great way to flush perps out of forums, too.  Take a stand against shrinks and drugs and watch the perps slither out of the woodwork.

Well, I have a handwritten draft for the first part of Galt’s Speech I want to post but the perps are saying I will pay if I post it.  I guess I go off on tangents in the post and attack ahem, perps.  What should I do?  I have worked long and hard on this Atlas Shrugged stuff for months…well, off and on, but I don’t think I ever spent months on any book report in school.

Hashem’s films has been back in business some time overseas!  If I started watching I’d have tons of catching up to do!

I want to finish my attempt to analyze Galt’s Speech but I don’t really have a place to work at home and if out, I feel I must go somewhere somewhat private so I can’t just go to the local coffee house to work on it.  I have no laptop so must put it out longhand somehow before blogging it.  It has gotten bigger than I ever intended and I’m sure the perps will find a way to screw it up like they have screwed everything else up.  Had me in tears almost all of yesterday with one of their stunts again. 

Here is a blog that has the Speech in full and also the audio for it.  That way you can see what I’m talking about even if you didn’t requisition your own copy of Atlas Shrugged.  I don’t endorse what seem to be that blogger’s anti environmental views.

There is also a You Tube series on Galt’s Speech that gives visuals along with someone reading what seem to be exerpts from it.  I’ve watched about nine of them.  The one with Helen Keller packs an emotional punch for me.  To think she could attach herself to the world of reality and beauty despite being blind and deaf was a miracle of God.

the damned thing won

Look at this.

I had this damn mouse that was taking papers that had important stuff on them to his hole in the wall and would shred them and stuff them in the hole. He also left little “gifts” all over the place and was in the process of chewing the carpet, the drywall and baseboards.  This is the symbol of America?  A MOUSE?

Another one took the “bait” I had left it and died where I could not find it but could smell it for a MONTH.  I finally found it and took it to the garbage gagging all the way with tears running down my face.  It still smelled for weeks.  I don’t think mice are that cute anymore.

Galt’s speech is not forgotten:  I’m just despairing over it.  How can I promote it when I disagree with so much of it?  I love the last part where Galt demolishes the hive thinkers, but, the anti-God stuff is killing me.  My highest value is not myself (despite the fact I seem sort of self absorbed) but an Almighty Omnipotent God.  How can I reconcile that with the good stuff I find in Mr. Galt’s speech?

Will be hard.  I might end up writing a “book” myself.
