Playboy Interview, 1964: Ayn Rand

Originally published by Kettle Moraine Publications on July 7, 2009. PLAYBOY: Miss Rand, your novels and essays, especially your controversial best seller, Atlas Shrugged, present a carefully engineered, internally consistent world view. They are, in effect, the expression of an all-encompassing philosophical system. What do you seek to accomplish with this new philosophy? RAND: I […]

How Ayn Rand’s Dystopian Novella Anticipated Cancel Culture

One of Ayn Rand’s lesser-known works of fiction paints a disturbingly familiar picture. Recent legislators, activists, and education reformers have promised to lead us into a new world of equity. No longer will some groups have a different lifestyle from others. No longer will some groups have a different education from others. There will be […]

Smith: Raise America’s Children to be Extraordinary and Exceptional

Across time, the hand that rocks the cradle has always played a key part in the development of the human race and how we proceeded in a manner that ensured mankind’s survival. But now, since the advent of feminism and so many other idiotic insane movements, we see mentally deranged mothers exerting an undue influence […]

Smith: Americans Have Paramount Decisions to Make!

The road to tyranny is paved with cowards, criminals and commie thugs, propagandists, fat-ass traitorous bureaucrats, and the immoral actions of the depraved, reprobate minds who worship materialism and the new world order brand of soul-sucking globalism and hold a monopoly on the mechanisms for the control of our “intelligence” agencies, information and media and […]

For What It’s Worth

A jumble of incongruities brought about by media noise and nonsense fragmented last night’s sleep.

Ross: The Triangle of Tyranny

Back when I was still in the Air Force, I was required to attend annual fire safety/fire extinguisher training; primarily because my job required that I work with flammable materials. One of the first things they teach you is the fire triangle; the three basic requirements for a fire. The fire triangle is exactly what […]

The Cafeteria

Please read the paragraphs so marked ** with a broken Russian accent in mind – it’ll make more sense. ** Silly Capitalist Pigs… You know nothing about world or how it really works. You do not get to pick and choose the parts of ideology that you like or dislike. You can not choose only […]

The Wilderness

Prologue Titles are introductory pitches that coax you to discover the writer’s intent buried in their text. The idea for this series occurred to me after reading several articles and opinions in an internet information feed. It’s apparent to me that America has no direction. We appear lost in a world of bigger, better, faster […]

A Matter of Life, Death and Liberty

I often wonder what the overall mindset of the average American might be and just how the people on the whole could have allowed America to sink to such destructive depths, in the name of being “good people” and to implement programs “for the Greater Good”, without seeing the harm they inflicted to their own […]
