As Dagny rides west on the train, she encounters a hobo sneaking a ride in the vestibule of her car. She invites him in. His name is Jeff Allen, and he once worked for the Twentieth Century Motor Company. He tells her that he and the factory’s other employees first phrased the question, “Who is John Galt?” Twelve years earlier, the company owner died and his heirs took over. The new owners put into practice a plan based on the communist slogan, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” The plan enslaved the most able to the unable. The first man to quit the company was a young engineer who said that he would put an end to such irrationality once and for all — he said he would stop the motor of the world. Years passed, factories closed, production declined, and the motors stopped. Jeff Allen and the factory’s other workers began to wonder if the young engineer had succeeded in his mission. The engineer’s name was John Galt.

The train suddenly comes to a stop, and Dagny learns that the crew members have deserted it. Desertion is becoming a common phenomenon, because men are reaching their breaking points and have no legal way to quit their jobs. Many of Taggart’s trains have been “frozen” in this way — abandoned on the tracks for someone else to deal with.

The above synopsis from Atlas Shrugged is an example of going Galt. This government is going down. Quickly. How do I know? The real question is how do you not know it is going down if you disagree with the premise? Every facet of the economy is collapsing, people cannot afford to buy food or heat their homes. The pandemic, vaccines and endless wars have come home to roost.

As in Atlas Shrugged, gold is the true measurement of wealth. While crypto and the stock markets are going down, gold is up over $50 an ounce in the past two days. I will not rehash all of the bad economic news but the analogies to Atlas Shrugged are clear. Without the people who make this country run, the corrupt government will collapse.

J6 political prisoner Jonathan Mellis warns he and other J6 defendants in the “Patriot Pod” of the DC Gulag are being tortured by “racist, hateful, and abusive correctional officers,” sexually assaulted and treated like animals for being Trump supporters.

Mellis described the abuse in a letter to The Gateway Pundit and is pleading for help from the American people.

“The treatment I have endured since my arrest has shaken my faith in humanity,” wrote the 34,-year-old who was apprehended nearly two years ago in a pre-dawn FBI raid while visiting his parents at their home.

“I was arrested on February 16, 2021, as if I were an Al Qaeda terrorist. I have not seen my family’s faces in almost 2 years. My father, Gennaro Mellis, died a few months after my arrest. I was denied bond back then and still today,” he continued “I hope you can forgive me for reaching out for assistance. I am struggling.”

The last time Mellis saw his father, he was being hauled away by FBI agents in a pre-dawn raid.

“My father was a decorated Vietnam War hero. He was a retired US Army Major, and also retired from the Navy. The last time I ever saw my father I was in handcuffs in front of his house surrounded by dozens of militarized FBI agents. My father was my best friend. My father knew my character and stood by me until his death on May 17, 2021,” he explained. “Unfortunately, my widowed mother is being forced by circumstance to sell the home our family grew up in. It looks like I will never get to see the inside of the home my father raised me in.”

Some readers may remember previous articles where I wrote about Hallmark Hell at Christmas. As a refresher:

Hallmark Hell

Take the same script, change locations, actors and repeat for years. You knew within 2 minutes who would end up with each other, that there would be a fight or misunderstanding and that the end of the movie ended with the “kiss”. There would be no mention of the birth of Christ or any religious overtones at all.

Then the epiphany: last year, Hallmark went full “woke agenda” and my wife stopped watching. No more Hallmark Hell and we were both happy. No more state sponsored Christmas propaganda.

Most people know that Candace Cameron Bure has left Hallmark and went to the Great American Family network. Her first “Christmas” movie aired on Sunday and we watched it last night: A Christmas…Present.

First, this was an original script and the protagonists were already married. Second, the reason for the season was the major focus as scripture was quoted throughout and the church actually contained joy and fellowship.

The reason for this piece is the analogy between Hallmark and Great American Family networks and our nation’s government. Hallmark forgot its roots and the reason for its early success. They adopted and forced a “woke” agenda on their audience and any “resistance” was meant with the usual attacks on it audience. Great American Family is not forcing an agenda on its viewers: it is providing wholesome entertainment based on traditional family values.

The analogy that hit me near the end of the movie was “the emperor has no clothes”. Everyone knows Joe Biden is not the legitimate pResident. The press and Congress tell us that his clothes are magnificent but that does not change the reality. The conviction of Steward Rhodes yesterday for seditious conspiracy should be the veil that is lifted from America’s eyes and we must state the truth regardless of the agenda, attacks, imprisonment or financial losses.

We left Hallmark and its woke garbage and went to Great American Family for a simple reason: it is what we are, not what they tell us we should be. We now must leave the false government and its woke garbage and return to what made America great: God, virtue, morality and unity. God have mercy on the political elite and media who still tell us that the emperor’s clothes are magnificent.

Hello Brother Steve;

I’m now teaching at the University of, (Redacted)
I teach Graduate Level Math Classes with lots of Chinese Students.

Since Monday, most have been recalled home.

I believe most are CCP Regular Army Reserve, not Chinese National Guard.

Chinese National Guard are the White Suited guys with machineguns.

More than 2 dozen Chinese students left yesterday and today, with 4 weeks left in this semester.
It’s hard to get a Graduate Student to Leave before the end of the semester.
Most foreign students maintain intense studies at this point in the semester.
There are very few Withdraws or “new” incomplete attendance among students whom have gotten this far in a graduate program.

This may be related to the Unrest in China.

I ask you post this and see if there is any pattern emerging.

The above is information from an unverified source sent to Steve Quayle. Can it be considered for intelligence purposes? No.

Courses of Action:

1. Nothing
2. Try to corroborate this information from other sources. A cursory search on Chinese students leaving US universities in the last week had no results.

At this point, I would file this away. But if this is true, it is a tell that China will do something in the new three weeks. Like invade Taiwan. Since the US is looking for any reason to start WWIII…

If anyone has more information, please add to the comments. Speculation based on unverified information is not valid: please put good information from good sources in the comments if you find anything.

America, this is what democracy looks like. This is why it’s such an evil in this world. I used to consider communism the worst of all possible systems and it ranks pretty close, but democracy might be even worse, because if the vote can be rigged, the tiniest of hard-core activists can impose upon the whole of a nation any dang thing it wants.

This is why the founders objected to the concept of democracy out-of-hand. They understood the drawbacks, but clearly saw, as they were drafting the constitution, what it manifested in France and understood the rampant lawlessness of a system decided by majorities rather than relying on individual rights as a bulwark against government intrusion. I’m sure that France influenced their design of the constitution, even though the actual revolution had not yet taken place.

Now, we have given up almost all of those protections, refusing to fight tooth and nail for them, and are left with little or nothing of the lives we should lead. One should wake up hating government, that it’s very existence is a pestilence on the people and to whatever degree it is necessary, it’s like living with snakes to keep the rats from getting out of control.

And, what have we gotten since we allowed these rights to be disregarded for our “safety?” We can be kept from traveling on airplanes if we don’t have a mask or vaccinations of a dangerous and experimental drug for which all of the producers and administers thereof are held legally blameless (or, are they?); they pry into every living area with cameras, listening devices, hoping to catch us saying something subversive about the government; we will be subjected to having every dime of our wealth stolen and replaced by some digital currency that they can turn off and on as we disagree and then agree with every other tyrannical and narcissistic plan they devise.

People are dying from this jab right in front of our faces, on podcasts, during sporting events, while piloting a jumbo-jet, in automobiles, trains and any other form of transportation. Not to mention that people without such high-profile jobs are dying just as quickly and assuredly as anyone else, but at their desk, at home, in a bar and it all looks like some heart-attack from eating beef or something rather than the deadly jab they were coerced into taking because they wanted to keep living the life they worked to build from the time they were teenagers.

I’m stepping out here, so follow me, don’t get in a rush to call me names, just read on. If nothing, I’m a free-thinker, which means open to all possibilities, even the crazy ones.
