Adam Curtis - All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

[Peter Wolf]

All those types like Alan Greenspan and that yuppie from Silicon Valley latched onto Ayn Rand as its a philosophy that panders to and legitimises their inherent selfishness and amorality.Alan Greenspan would say that the FEDRES is Objectivism in action.

I guess the poor and the needy dont figure within Objectivism/Randism.

I have to admit that i havent researched Ayn Rand and exactly who she was connected to but i am sure that someone else has but she had friends in very high places and was connected to Rothschilds.

About the only totally free society they advocate is one that they dominate.

I thought it worth splitting off to another thread:

The great bit in this article is where they try the Biodome 2 experiment and it ends up close to something like Event Horizon. Stimulating stuff indeed.

and what if she isn't?

It's sounds a bit like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Connections can be tenuous/verisimilar even when they seem to fit your world-view. Innocents have been wrongly slandered over suppositions. Dead or alive.

It's not like certain ideas only originate from one source. If anything the only club Rand wanted to be a part of was the one that was dedicated to her own sycophantic worship.

Did I hear wrong or did the news correspondent reporting from the nightclub in Kinshasa actually say Jungle Bunnies? Different times...

[Hoagy]

Yes. And in Cairo in the 70's you hardly ever saw a veiled face. Extremely rare.
