Idiots call him 'authoritarian' when his problem was that he wasn't authoritarian enough. He could have ordered Capitol security to leave the protesters alone but he did nothing.Īll through his presidency Trump doesn't seem to have realized that he was president. The other problem was that Trump was not on the protesters’ side. Their purpose was to make the occupation look bad. The existence of agent provocateurs within their ranks. Without agent provocateurs – Antifa and perhaps deep state actors (probably there’s overlap between the two) – if enough protesters had occupied the Capitol building they might have delayed the event indefinitely, and given the public time to realize the election had been stolen. on January 6 what could the protesters have hoped to accomplish? It is the state legislators who allowed the 2020 election to be stolen and who should have been the target. States are responsible for their elections. The time and place for riots was the day or so after election day at each separate state capitol. “No evidence, zero evidence” is an exact quote. He claims there is no evidence of election fraud in 2020. Well it is and it’s obvious.īy the way, why insert a clip of Brook saying today is worse than years ago? We need him to tell us that? He has been helping make today worse for over 20 years. So he blathered on about how today’s situation is different, today it’s not a question of tyrants and revolution. He realized he had a problem with the Boston Tea Party of 1773 (the Colonials involved weren’t too fastidious about property rights), maybe a listener brought up that comparison. As the saying goes, I am not making this up. Yaron Brook, on a recent podcast, said he opposed the truckers because they were violating property rights by blocking the roads. We have reached the point where being nice is ineffective against some injustices, such as “mandates.” The truckers have the right idea. I never thought I’d live to see the out-in-the-open corruption taking place, and the police state measures that have been installed, in the last year or so. The lady’s voice provided aural variety which is good. So far I’ve listened to about a third of the show and thought I’d write up some thoughts before they fly away. All the leading Objectivist intellectuals do. “Rand (whom I knew well personally) would have loathed Trump. Binswanger posted, and recall that this is after Trump had nominated a conservative Supreme Court justice: In fact probably Rand would have liked much about Trump, especially compared to Hillary. Because he knew Rand personally he feels he can speak in her name (he has done this repeatedly – see his entry in “Who’s Who” on this website for another example). Binswanger posted a comment about the election to the blog of Robert Paul Wolff, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts. At any rate neither he nor anyone at ARI oebjects to it, when they should be objecting loudly and publicly.Ībout how Binswanger voted in 2016, the following is from “The American Spirit”:īack in June Harry Binswanger published on his website the article “Contra Trump,” proclaiming to his followers “I will either not vote, or vote for Hillary.” At some point he made up his mind which of the two because the evening before the election (held November 8th) he posted to his “Harry Binswanger Letter” (HBL) a last minute plea for everyone to vote for Hillary. Why then does ARI still associate with Richard Minns? Peikoff allows him to use the trademark “Atlas Shrugged” in connection with his Atlas Shrugged themed sculptures. And never a word about his trade school fraud. What then was it doing associating with Carl Barney? He was on the Board of Directors and Yaron Brook defended Scientology while he was donating to ARI, then excoriated Scientology when he stopped donating. “ARI strives to maintain high intellectual and moral standards.” For example, in November 2017 they published “The Anti-Intellectuality of Donald Trump: Why Ayn Rand Would Have Despised a President Trump” and reprinted in October 2019, re-titled “Why Ayn Rand Would Have Despised a President Trump.” It begins by saying no one can speak for the dead then proceeds to speak for the dead. HAH! Setting aside the name of the organization there are many examples. “ARI, founded three years after Rand’s death, did not and does not pretend to be a spokesman for Ayn Rand or Objectivism.” The Ayn Rand Institute recently put up an article about the same subject: Navigating Schisms in the Objectivist Movement As I write, the video isn’t showing in my browser but I guess you are referring to
