Hello all,
Bout four days into the community, came over when tdw stopped making sense (and was only even there at the behest of a friend & to satisfy my curiosity.) Been reading up on Q as much as I can and am now convinced of its legitimacy.
While I’ve long believed in the machinations of the DS, what always held me back from seeing Trump as their true enemy was skepticism that he could’ve ever made it this far without being compromised himself. I mean, the guy’s lived a life that’s the picture of debauchery... but then I spoke to my buddy who sent me here, and his theory for this sounded A LOT like a major character arc in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and it clicked that Rand’s other master work, The Fountainhead, is DJT’s favorite work of fiction. Could his entire life be inspired by the example of Rand’s cryptic Francisco d’Anconia?
[spoilers below; read at your own discretion. I certainly don’t want to ruin anyone’s opp to read this awesome book, but the whole story is too similar to Q not to mention.]
So, in AS, the protagonist Dagny Taggart grows up beside a brilliant childhood friend and heir to large fortune, Francisco d’Anconia, who out of nowhere confides in her one day that he is going to begin acting strangely + uncharacteristically over the coming DECADES, and that he won’t be able to tell her why or for what aim, but that eventually she will understand. Over the next years, he becomes your stereotypical playboy, throwing huge parties/orgies, becoming the equivalent of a TMZ cash cow, and apparently abandons his life of virtue, creation, philosophy, etc. Later on, it turns out that his entire adult life had been an act, to self-neuter in the eyes of the powerful so that they do not take him seriously / will believe that he is an asset of theirs, and that he can easily be controlled by his substantial vices.
Now consider how Trump first rose to POTUS. The Clintons supposedly encouraged him to run against HRC, thinking he’d be an easy asset who just wanted fame and would roll over when they wanted him to / released ‘grab em by the pussy’ etc. So much blatant playboyishness from a man who doesn’t do drugs & acts based on The Art of War. These sides don’t fully add up, do they?
Similar to how Q drops came in early/coded/muddled with disinfo so that enough info would be dispersed/analyzed before the DS knew the legitimacy of the threat, this makes me wonder if Trump, too, has used his boorishness as a shield, living an outwardly hedonistic life so that nobody would suspect he has been a white hat all along. Remember also that Ayn Rand has been smeared by historians/academia no less rigorously than past presidents who’ve stood up to the DS/Federal Reserve (Jackson, Nixon, etc... JFK was too popular to slander, so they settled for assassination and distortion of legacy), so that in stands to reason that her works are seen as a distinct threat, despite being among the all time bestsellers + common favorite works of the general public.
Who is John Galt? ;)
Anyone else read Atlas Shrugged and see these connections? Trump’s superpower has always been that he’s too dirty to smear...
Definitely a similarity between Francisco and Trump. He was always seen in public with women on his arms, elaborate partirs, properties everywhere, the ultimate playboy who only cared about himself. Not to ruin it, but he was exact opposite and was leading something behind the scenes that turned everything on it's head.
If Trump was a fan of Rand as you claim, it makes even more sense.

Would’ve been too obvious to say that Francisco is his role model, but Roark makes sense too. (Despite his acting at times closer to Wynand.)
Interesting analysis. I see a parallel in the way d'Anconia sabotaged his entire copper mining operation as the final push to dismantle the corrupt shell of America. That pushed them to try to nationalize Rearden steel, the masks came off, and the whole thing fell apart.
DJT will be remembered forever as the non-politician who, like d'Anconia, blew it all up and made inevitable the collapse of the charade.
The current charade is that MSM tells you what to believe, social media amplifies the "approved" parts, corrupt kleptocrats continue to hollow out our country, and we brainwashed, obedient serfs keep the whole thing possible by continuing to produce. It's not sustainable.
DJT exposed it all. The creeping Leftism and rewriting of our history. The absolutely vile fake news. The swamp.
So many more millions are now awake. The question is if we are awake enough to take back our country.
Yep. What a fantastic book! Should be mandatory reading for all children and adults.
Exactly why it isn’t! Lol. Same for Demons/The Possessed by Dostoyevsky. Anyone who’s read that (or Solzhenitsyn) would instantly see the true nature of cancel culture / PC.
Not even too dirty, simply that everyone already new and loved him in spite of/because of it.
The "Alliance" has been rumored to be behind Trump. Other than the name, I know almost nothing about the group. I speculate that Ross Perot was a member and an earlier attempt to do what Trump has done. My hope is that this group has thoroughly infiltrated the DS (using techniques you describe). it seems clear that the DS is moving much faster right now then they ordinarily would want. They do seem desperate. I don't think that they would abandon their slow patience over the last century if they were in full control.
Interesting point. The people D'Anconia had on his side, revealed at the end (NO MORE SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE!!!) now make me thing if MyPillow guy, Jovan Pultzer, Lin Wood/Powell, Gen Flynn...all arguable the BEST or most successful in their fields. I'm sure there are many others not in the public view working with him behind the scenes, too.
God I hope Eric Weinstein and the IDW is somehow connected... that would make for a truly awesome crossover
Holy shit , I hadn t thought of this. Now that I know what i do about the DS, I need to read the book.
If anyone hasn't read it, it's phenomenal. She was very much against the DS mentality of socialism, NWO, and diminishing American excpetionalism.
Read/listen to the book, don't watch the uber shitty movie they made.
I have Return of the Primitive (started but got distracted) and The Virtue of Selfishness (never started)
What if the pussy grab tape was a deliberate fake?
What if they were helping Trump?
What if side of beef was an actual arrest? I havent seen anyone post that as a possibility. The Hilbot was deployed and every subsequent Hillary appearance could be deep faked.
Edit: Post title autocorrected d’Anconia to d’Antonia. You get it.
Makes sense - I do see the connections! AS is a fascinating (though lengthy) read. Read it years ago. I can walk only so far with AR’s philosophy because it seems lacking in the elements of love and mercy, elements that are truly part of God’s reality. (God doesn’t exist in Ayn Rand’s world.) There are two sympathetic characters in the novel — Eddie Willers, Dagny’s loyal assistant and Cherryl Brooks, a poor shop girl who marries Dagny’s brother — who see the truth but end up dying tragically due to lack of moral or financial support. These characters always bothered me. Dagny and her friends could have helped them but didn’t. I wonder why AR included them - just the demonstrate the ruthlessness of her philosophy? I think our movement has that element of helping those who desire to see and live the truth.
I agree with you about the drawbacks of Rand’s philosophy; I think she included Willers to stand-in as the Everyman reader.
