100 DAYS OF BEING A LAUGHINGSTOCK IN PARIS Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Thursday, 30 April 2009

Paris, France.  It is very cool to be a French intel guy.  A spectacular meal at a Parisian bistro with $90 entrées and a $200 bottle of Bordeaux?  No problem.  I'd known this fellow since he got me out of a jam in Sudan years ago.  His James Bond days are over, but still, riding a desk for the DGSE --  Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (General Directorate for External Security), France's military intel agency - in Paris has its decided benefits.

One of them is not being infected with Obamamania.  "My agency considers him a joke," he confides.  "Every day there is some fresh lunacy that we cannot believe.  Mr. Bush would often make us angry.  But at this man we just laugh."

"In truth, it also makes us sad," he continued.  "French resentment towards America is strong, so being able to laugh at your country feels good.  But it is such a sad and strange thing to see America - America The Great! - do something so crazy as to elect this ridiculous man."

"There are many people in America who think he isn't a legitimate president as he wasn't born in the US and isn't a natural citizen.  What do you think?" I asked.

DOES AMERICA DESERVE THIS PRESIDENT? Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Does a country always get the government it deserves?  Do the people of, say, Zimbabwe deserve to be ruled by Robert Mugabe?  He is an apotheosis of corruption and depraved fascist evil.  Millions of Zimbabweans are suffering monstrous tyranny and outright starvation because of him.  Do they deserve this?

Shift the perspective to ask:  to what extent are people responsible for their fate?  And then ask:  how would America's Founding Fathers have answered this question?

Certainly the American colonists suffered far, far less under the rule of King George III than Zimbabweans under Mugabe.  Yet they were men and Zimbabweans are sheep.  Each got what they deserve.

America has been on the road to cultural and constitutional ruin for a long time.  It did not start on January 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Zero.  But if Americans become like their founding forefathers and stop being sheep, it will end with his one-term presidency.

FATS AND FAIRNESS Print E-mail

"Hey, guys!  Got a hot date?  Be sure you treat her to a nice salmon dinner!"

That's the message young bachelors could get from a recent study.  Another message of the study is that socialism may get less attractive to Americans as they age.  How could the same research study have both of these results?  It all has to do with the relationship between fats and fairness.

The research is in the new interdisciplinary field of Neuroeconomics, which studies how the brain makes economic decisions. It was conducted jointly by the Interdepartmental Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and psychiatrists in the Department of Applied Health and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Pavia in Italy.

The implications of the research are politically vast.

CHINA'S ZERO-SUM GAME Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Thursday, 09 April 2009

The evidence is now as high as Everest that America's greatest foreign threat is not a bunch of illiterates chanting verses of the Koran and willing to blow themselves up in order to have 72 whores in heaven.  It is Red China.

Yet the Chicoms are not simply a threat to America.  They are the greatest threat to freedom world-wide.  A good example as any is a fellow named Joel Fitzgibbon.

He's the Defense Minister of Australia, and he's in town (DC) today (4/09) to meet with his American counterpart Defense Secretary Bobby Gates for the annual Australia-US Ministerial (AUSMIN) meeting.  Gates and his aides will be very cautious in talking to him, however - because Mr. Fitzgibbon has been having an affair with a spy from Chinese Military Intelligence.

The scandal has now exploded all over Australian newspapers.  Not only will Fitzgibbon have to resign, but so might the man who appointed him - because Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's best friends are all Chicoms.  He speaks Mandarin fluently, travels to China at every opportunity, promotes China buying up Australia's natural resources, and consistently takes China's side in most any dispute.

To many Aussies, it looks like their leader is as much of a Manchurian Candidate as America's.

WHERE IS JOHN GALT? Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

All readers of Ayn Rand's masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged, know its central question, "Who is John Galt?"

Written over half a century ago, it is clearly the greatest and most influential novel of the 20th century.  Over six million copies have been sold, averaging 77,000 copies per year in the 1980s, 90,000 in the 1990s, 137,000 in the 00s - until recently.

200,000 copies were sold in 2008, and sales so far this year are at triple those of last year.   This is because, according to the Ayn Rand Institute, "there are uncanny similarities between the plot-line of the book and the events of our day."

We discussed these similarities last December in Atlas In America.

Reading Atlas for the first time in 1966 was the single most intellectually thrilling experience of my life.  And yet, there was something that bugged me.  Asking who is John Galt presupposes there is a John Galt.  As I witnessed the cultural destruction of America in the 1960s, I realized the terrible truth that there is no such person.  He is a Platonic invention. 

Today, the fascist nightmare that is destroying America is hideously similar to that described by Rand over fifty years ago.  But if we ask today, not who is John Galt but where is John Galt, the question echoes in the wind with no answer.
