I have been inactive for a long time now. Partly because Atlas Shrugged has taken me ages to finish and partly because of real life stuff. Here is an analysis of the parallels between the book and the Illuminati, as it is supposed to be a code for the Illuminati's plan.

Atlas shrugged may soon be a film with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

http://kt70.com/~jamesjpn/articles/atlas_shrugged.htm - An analysis from John Todd. John Todd is a former high level witch who converted to Christianity and now lectures on the occult and the Illuminati.

Terminology:

Producer: Someone who produces things of value through the power of the mind or through hard work. John Galt is a producer because he invented a free energy motor. Dagny Taggart is a producer who expanded the railway system. Hank Readan is a producer who produced his own brand of metal.

Striker: Producers who decide to no longer lend their services to people who repay them with hatred and resentment. They all live in Galt's Gulch a hidden self sufficient valley in Colorado.

Looters: People who take the Producer's inventions and products through force.

Moochers: People who make the producers guilty for their success in order to get money from them.

Mystic: Someone who has given up on the reason of his or her mind and gets messages from some other source. Mysticism is a bad thing to the objectivist philosphy as it flies in the face of reason. It is similar to the philosphy of the Moochers.

Technology

Reardan metal: Probably from a UFO.

Project X: similarity between that and HAARP. According to Ben Fulford, HAARP caused an earthquake which damaged a Japanese nuclear power plant after he made his ultimatum.

An illusion of a mountain in Colorado: This was mentioned in a google video where someone gave a lecture starting with the use of 666 in advertising, then moved onto Atlas Shrugged. I can’t remember the name and didn’t write it down, dammit! If anyone knows it or finds it, please tell me!

Galt’s engine: A lot of people are researching free energy. The latest group is the Orion project. Other people know the theory. Free energy mentioned in the book, by taking electricity from static in the air is not a usual method.

Industries mentioned:

I have listed the industries mentioned in Atlas Shrugged and looked at the below website to see if the Illuminati own similar industries. They do own these and many more. There are also many other people who own similar industries and there are many more industries that the Illuminati own that aren’t mentioned in the book.

http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/the_satanic_bloodlines.htm

Rail: I couldn’t find the rail industry there. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough.

Banking: Rothschild (banking + Reuters + Federal Reserve)

Law: Bundy family.

Oil: Rockerfeller owns Standard Oil and sold Hitler oil. Van Duyn family own a petroleum company.

Steel: The Van Duyn family own a steel mill in Turkey. Reynolds family own United States Steel Corp.

Motor: The DuPont family absorbed General Motors.

Copper: The Reynolds have a Reynolds metal company.

Galt’s Gulch:

Everything costs something. Galt explains why people have to pay for things in his speech. He says that you pay the minds who created it.

Money is central: Rothschild motto – if you control money, you control the world. Henry Kissenger, who worked for the Illuminati.

Money is in gold – similar to what the Illuminati did during the great depression when they seized all the gold.

The cost of stuff is extremely low. John pays Dagney $10 a month to work as housekeeper. John Galt’s lectures cost $2 each. Nothing else costs more than a quarter. However, since everything the producers earn is not taxed or looted, they are happy because everything they produce is theirs and theirs alone.

It’s self sufficient and hidden by an illusion.

The last days:

The most extreme events take place 12 years after John Galt left the 20th Century Motor Company. 12 years after John Galt leaves the 20th century? Wouldn’t that be early 2013? The year may be significant.

In the first two thirds of the book, there are hints that industry is slowly falling apart. In the last third of the book, the country is falling apart. All the producers have left civilisation, save Dagny. The people left in charge- the Looters – are not able to keep the country together, since their philosophy involves feeding off the producers. Instead, militant factions form and fight for control and the government starts some extreme measures.

On September 11th (interesting), Dr Robert Stadler, a former teacher of John Galt who is now his enemy makes a speech. In it, he says that ‘Thinking must be left to the professionals.’ It’s his way of stopping people thinking for more power.

Later, it got so bad that all people over 65 and a third of babies under 1 have to be killed. This law was passed when the Looters had captured John Galt and were torturing him, so he could give them orders.

Comparisons between the Strikers and the Illuminati

They both have an illusionary mountain. They both have places they can hide.

They both plan on hiding away while society is destroyed.

They both own a lot of businesses between them (see Illuminati business parallels above).

The producers speak this oath before joining Galt’s group:

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. – John Galt.

The real Illuminati have monarch programmed slaves - http://www.emhdf.com/Monarch-mind-control.pdf

I doubt they truly follow Galt’s oath.

The Striker’s in Atlas shrugged are made out to be a persecuted group, whereas the Illuminati of this world seem to be the persecutors. The Strikers obtain wealth by their hard work and by producing value. The Illuminati have subjugated millions of people by bringing about depressions and extending wars for their own profit and power.

According to Ayn Rand, the collapse of civilisation will be brought about just by the people who produce removing themselves from society. However, the Illuminati seem to feel the need to build underground bases and bring about their own disasters to reduce the world population for more control. I think this is a sign that we definitely do NOT need these people. They own a lot of the shops and services that they own and that we depend on, but they are far from Galt’s dream.

John Galt’s speech

In the last third of the book, John Galt makes a speech which lasts 3 hours and covers 56 pages. Through this speech, Ayn Rand explains her philosophy of Objectivism. Rand’s philosophy is elaborated on in other books.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_%28Ayn_Rand%29

Sacrifice is a bad thing. He defines sacrifice:

"'Sacrifice' does not mean the rejection of the worthless, but of the precious. 'Sacrifice' does not mean the rejection of the evil for the sake of the good, but of the good for the sake of the evil. 'Sacrifice' is the surrender of that which you value in favor of that which you don't.

"If you exchange a penny for a dollar, it is not a sacrifice; if you exchange a dollar for a penny, it is. If you achieve the career you wanted, after years of struggle, it is not a sacrifice; if you then renounce it for the sake of a rival, it is. If you own a bottle of milk and gave it to your starving child, it is not a sacrifice; if you give it to your neighbor's child and let your own die, it is.

A sacrifice is the surrender of a value. Full sacrifice is full surrender of all values. If you wish to achieve full virtue, you must seek no gratitude in return for your sacrifice, no praise, no love, no admiration, no self-esteem, not even the pride of being virtuous; the faintest trace of any gain dilutes your virtue. If you pursue a course of action that does not taint your life by any joy, that brings you no value in matter, no value in spirit, no gain, no profit, no reward—if you achieve this state of total zero, you have achieved the ideal of moral perfection.

John Galt says that his enemies’ philosophy involves them forcing the producers to sacrifice their value so that they may survive.

"You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis. You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had no meaning. You have cried that man's sins are destroying the world and you have cursed human nature for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster. In the name of a return to morality, you have sacrificed all those evils which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed justice to mercy. You have sacrificed independence to unity. You have sacrificed reason to faith. You have sacrificed wealth to need. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed happiness to duty.

According to John Galt, there are two enemies to the producers. Those who are also referred to as mystics, who claim that there is some kind of greater power that we can’t conceive which gives them their power and those who take power by force.

"For centuries, the battle of morality was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to God and those who claimed that it belongs to your neighbors—between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of ghosts in heaven and those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of incompetents on earth. And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.

"Selfishness—say both—is man's evil. Man's good—say both—is to give up his personal desires, to deny himself, renounce himself, surrender; man's good is to negate the life he lives. Sacrifice—cry both—is the essence of morality, the highest virtue within man's reach.

John claims that nothing is free and that there is no such thing as entitlement, because everything we have has been a result of many peoples’ hard work and intelligence. People who claim that they are entitled to this are basically looters:

They proclaim that every man born is entitled to exist without labor and, the laws of reality to the contrary notwithstanding, is entitled to receive his 'minimum sustenance'—his food, his clothes, his shelter—with no effort on his part, as his due and his birthright. To receive it—from whom? Blank-out. Every man, they announce, owns an equal share of the technological benefits created in the world. Created—by whom? Blank-out. Frantic cowards who posture as defenders of industrialists now define the purpose of economics as 'an adjustment between the unlimited desires of men and the goods supplied in limited quantity.' Supplied—by whom? Blank-out. Intellectual hoodlums who pose as professors, shrug away the thinkers of the past by declaring that their social theories were based on the impractical assumption that man was a rational being—but since men are not rational, they declare, there ought to be established a system that will make it possible for them to exist while being irrational, which means: while defying reality. Who will make it possible? Blank-out. Any stray mediocrity rushes into print with plans to control the production of mankind—and whoever agrees or disagrees with his statistics, no one questions his right to enforce his plans by means of a gun. Enforce—on whom? Blank-out. Random females with causeless incomes titter on trips around the globe and return to deliver the message that the backward peoples of the world demand a higher standard of living. Demand—of whom? Blank-out.

Conclusion

If Atlas shrugged is the Illuninati’s plan in fiction, then their view of themselves seems very far from reality. The Strikers are portrayed as the people who uphold civilisation with their minds and their industriousness. They live by the oath:

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

The Illuminati in real life have no qualms about starting depressions, wars, earthquakes and epidemics to achieve their aims.

They want to cause the collapse of civilisation and cause huge population reduction to gain control. In the book, the Strikers go on strike because they are sick of being exploited, but in this world, it is the Illuminati who are the exploiters. I’m sure they would love for the government to start killing people in the name of saving food. They would love forcing people against each other. In the chaos they cause, they will return to bring order.

Part of me thinks that Ayn Rand may have coded a message for the rest of us. Maybe the Illuminati are represented by the looters and the moochers and that the producers are the people they exploit. There must be many talented people whose potential has been wasted by the subjugation of the Illuminati. Remember the words of John Galt, when he talks about surrendering to the looters and the moochers:

"But it cannot be done to you without your consent. If you permit it to be done, you deserve it.”
