Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

John Galt and Going Private, Part I

Barring any major shift in the awareness of fellow citizens, you can assume that the republic will remain dead and that fascists will continue to tighten their grip on the serfs. Perhaps, the drone serfs will wake up and revolt, but that would be in the future and be part of a survey course on human history, more of the same. Mobs, soldiers, kings, tyrants, mobs.  Without an enlightened republic it will be the same old cycle:



There won't be a new republic in America, as in the old days, as that requires a natural intelligence and morality. These are qualities mocked today. The spread of weak minds is beyond the tipping point.

Last week, the Pretender to the U.S. Presidency told people in Norther Ireland that Catholic schools are the problem. They interfere with diversity. Of course, the ruling class just says things that help their agenda, but people have become stupid and selfish, not intelligent and moral. Their was no reaction, though media rarely reports anything negative, a sign of stupidity. People accept the dull tones of alleged news.

The "hispanics," an absurd word claimed to be "racial," but especially especially absurd to describe Mexican illegal aliens, who wear their Christianity on their sleeves; they love their families, bla, bla, and so on. Yet, they support a party that favors blending a long-term embryo and tossing it in the garbage, a man who hates Catholics, some of those bible thumping people with guns in their pick ups.

Nancy Pelosi rebuffed a question about her views on abortion two weeks ago by claiming she is a practicing Catholic and, essentially, she knows morality and how dare you ask the question!  Breathtaking arrogance content that the audience is stupid. She is right and, for my part, I no longer attempt point out to people that they are stupid; I merely say I intend to protect myself against them.

The stupidity about us is a tsunami that washes away reason. One does not stop a tsunami. You prepare and survive; you go out to sea and ride above it.  It it time to join John Galt at sea. The link, just before, takes you to his famous radio speech in Atlas Shrugged.

If you read no more, here, listen to the philosophy that is the Tao. It is reason and the only way to find freedom. The link is the first You Tube part of several. Forget about the novel, philosophy, and all the crap you learned in high school.  Listen with awareness.  I say no more.

As few of us can just disappear, lets start to fade away. Here is a start:

1.  Browser: How about a browser that forgets what you were looking at:  Firefox Private Browsing (a plug in.)   
You want no tracks to trace, no Google like guessing about you. Cookies the eat you.
Google Chrome has "Incognito," that supposedly does the same thing, but even if your browser is safe, you are still using Google and lies and checks in with the fascist government, of which it a part. It openly announces it wants to tell you what you want, which is what you really are asking for.  I was an earlier adopter of Google, one time shame on you.... 
That is all I know about. Let me know if there are others. I see there is Browzar.  Worth a look.


2.  Search Engine: How about a search engine that respects your privacy:  I use ixquick. ixquick has a sister company that uses Google as a source; you can find it readily.  I avoid that, but it is likely better.  The European company does not keep records and your searches are encrypted, as far as that goes. 
There is also DuckDuckGo.  Check out the increase in their use, thanks to Mr. Snowden:


A "John Galt" can change history merely by acting in a way to protect his or her rational self interest.  Notice the jump in use. This is how we create change, not by asking government to increase government control.

Google has been running a cute little blurb on their front page about stopping Big Brother, cute CCTV cartoon included. We tend to trust people, but once the lie is clear, only stupid people fall for more lies from the same outfit.

BTW:  Stupid, by Webster:
a.  slow of mind: obtuse
b.  given to unintelligent decision or acts....
c.  lacking in intelligence or reason
I am not calling anyone a bad name, just identifying stupid people as stupid. They will make irrational decisions that injure themselves. Forget about them being part of a sane community or republic.  They generally work, if at all, for government and schools, as no one really expects reason there.

I know many people who have not really complete high school who make complete sense. If they hear, for example, their Internet activity is bugged, they will react. So, you can judge your friends and family by whether they even see a problem with state driven data collection of all that they do. Amazingly, many will just shrug or stare.

John Galt has to stop permitting stupid people the space to screw things up.
