Note: This is the first in a series of three columns on the CBS affliction. Pt. 2, Pt. 3.

“There’s no such thing as a collective brain.” — Howard Roark,
The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand

Bingo! Eureka moment. This one sentence from Roark’s courtroom speech in the movie triggered the connection and led to a watershed column on what I call “collective-brain syndrome” (CBS).[1]

Which, along with “runaway” mind,[2] has kept our species from full consciousness and flourishing. What I’m writing here is a summary or foreword to two followon works of high urgency:

  • Decollaring Guide—my white paper expanding on this column w/fuller fixes.
  • Independents Rising book—I will lay out an entire Independents’ movement.[3]

The crisis, of course, is what’s upon us with the ‘covtardia’ (ref. my Stonebeam #1 footnote)-induced mass “catastrophic irrationality” and its opportunistic Great Reset infection. [There are other (related) threats in the Matrix,[4] all of which require us to End CBS NOW! and take practical political steps to resolve its antihuman effects.]

So what’s the origin and development of CBS? Two major intellectuals lie at the root of the understanding: Julian Jaynes and Ayn Rand. Continue reading →

Donut Whole: Open Letter to Li’l Pard

… on question of whether or not to get the second Moderna ‘vaccine’
By Brian R. Wright [Twitter.com/brian_r_wright (while it lasts)]
PDF version here

Note1: “Li’l Pard” is a nickname for a longtime friend of mine. It comes from one of the Eastwood movies of the early 80s, Bronco Billy, as I recall. It was what Bronco Billy called his children admirers.

Li’l Pard,

Note2: FACT-CHECKING: This column has been widely fact checked by the numerous other referenced authors, and of course, by this author—who welcomes and expects all his writings to be fact checked by his readers.

Good thing I did all the checking, bottom line is because the vaccine is such a dangerous cluster-f**k disaster and you should NEVER have gotten the first dose, but you did, that you and Girlfriend MAY wish to get the second shot. I would only ask that you consult with a doctor who thinks for himself. [No, from the latest information I’m getting, DO NOT get the second dose of the ‘vaccine.’]

The reasons are complicated [it’s fortunate that I watched Del Bigtree’s The HighWire episode for this week:

and I’ll explain the reasoning at the end of this rather extensive open letter that describes. Though we have limited data on what the second shot will do… plus the vax makers are having to deal with new variants of the ‘virus,’ so that may mean shots forever.

Here’s a video that has been banned by YouTube that shows dissenting doctors recommending that nobody receive the killer-zombie ‘covid’ vaccine (KZV):

Children’s Health Defense is also sponsoring a Webinar on February 10:

To date (January 22), 329 people have died and roughly 9,000 injuries have been reported to VAERS in the United States, which government studies show is under-reported by around 99%. It’s actually getting difficult to keep up with all the valid, fact-checked alternative news about ‘covid’ or the KZV.

A particularly gripping article w/video comes from Dr. Mercola, where he interviews the brilliant and best-selling-author, microbiologist and virologist, Dr. Judy Mikovits: “How COVID-19 Vaccines May Destory the Lives of Millions [PLS IF NOTHING ELSE WATCH THIS VIDEO:]

Both of these doctor-scholars are targeted by the mainstream Pharma mafia for suppression and exclusion from public access. For instance, if you enter this link on Twitter, you can’t Tweet it.

And here’s another one referred to me by freedom-ally Hayley_A of Nottingham in England, Dr. V. for Victory, Vernon Coleman, with the inspiring title, “Doctors and Nurses Giving the Covid-19 Vaccine Will Be Tried as War Criminals:”

Quote

From Roark’s Courtroom Speech, The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand:

“Everything thing we have, every great achievement has come from the independent work of some independent mind. Every horror and destruction came from attempts to force men into a herd of brainless, soulless robots. Without personal rights, without personal ambition, without will, hope, or dignity.” Continue reading →

Stonebeam 11. The Gorilla in the Room Theory—Bene Thanksgiving

Story Shot 11, by Brian R. Wright  PDF Version, 22 November 2020

Today I want to write about normal life the way it was for me, say, this time last year. On the threshold of the Thanksgiving holiday,[1] you know, I just want to kick back and apply the Take Time to Smell the Roses Theory or at least the Ice Ball Theory[2].

Unfortunately, when there actually IS a gorilla in the room, one does have to assign a higher priority to the situation. Same with the gorilla metaphor all of us face today: covtardia and the Great Reset.[3]

OUR gorilla du jour is occupying living rooms worldwide, which gives us a hint that it just may be contrived by those I referred to in my previous ‘beam, namely the Global Crime Syndicate (GCS) and its meta-alien directorate.

One neck, one leash:

“Power. What do you think is power? Whips? Guns? Money? You can’t turn men into slaves unless you break their spirit. Kill their capacity to think and act on their own. Tie them together, teach them to conform, to unite, to agree, to obey. That makes one neck ready for one leash.” — Ellsworth Toohey to Peter Keating, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Dr. Evil, er Klaus Schwab, couldn’t say it better.

I watched the movie Braveheart last night, and I’m all fired up. The name, Wright, hails from northern England/southern Scotland, same as William Wallace.

What strikes me about Braveheart is the hallowed cause of human liberty:

“Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!” — William Wallace Continue reading →

Unforgettable and Timely
From The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

No wish to violate anyone’s IP, though the book was published in 1943 and the movie in 1949, same year I was born! [I read the book in the summer between my junior and senior years in high school… when my family had moved from Oklahoma City to Overland Park, Kansas, where I was enrolled at prestigious middle class WASPish Shawnee Mission West. The experience was cathartic and transforming, at least in terms of my view of the world, and fuel for my nascent idealism.]

Hence, I’ll simply enter the IMDb quote verbiage for this page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041386/quotes/?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

I have recomposed it into a pdf for better readability here:
http://bit.ly/2ZbxOP5_Roark_Courtroom_Speech

Note: Can’t say I’ve fairly attributed the artist rendering. Or attributed it at all, really. Just tried to locate it on the Web and could not. Don’t remember where I found it. But it’s excellent and I do hope the artist will forgive me under the umbrella of ‘fair and considerate use.’ Contact me via comment, and I’ll remove it or at least give you the creatorship nod.

Why Roark’s Speech Today?

At the risk of stating the obvious, we the American people are being subjected to a torrent of lies and false flag operations by government, government media, and simulacra of government(s) . Why? To manufacture consent. As the father of modern mind control and propaganda, Edward Bernays, put it:

“The conscious intelligent manipulation of the organized opinions and habits of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who run this unseen mechanism constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. Continue reading →

Movie Review: The Fountainhead (1949)

Ayn Rand’s sui generis movie still stirs the heart of passionate individualists

FountainheadIf I had to describe the A-list movie production of The Fountainhead in one word that word would be ‘unbelievable:’ it is literally beyond comprehension that such a stark silver screen portrayal of important ideas—with world class acting, directing, score, production design, costumes, and of course writing—could ever be made… much less a movie about the epochal conflict between the individual and the collective (and the parallel ethical conflict between reason-based egoism and faith-based altruism). The second word I would use is ‘moving.’

Lately, The Fountainhead is a DVD I’ve been watching with regularity, simply to recharge my emotional batteries and reaffirm my sense of life. As the astute reader knows, we live in a world where the collectivists of the Toxocracy are hammering the individualists right and left… trying to close in for the kill. [I believe the individualists—full humans—will win, however, and relatively soon, due to a powerful cosmic jujitsu maneuver that I’m happy to be a part of. Ref. esp. Thrive. More on that in my novel soon to be released, The Truman Prophecy.]

And elsewhere, of course: 2016 is the Year of Conscious Evolution, which necessitates psychological independence, which necessitates the full flowering of the individual human conceptual faculty, which necessitates the wholesale adherence of humanity to the nonaggression principle. No this isn’t a dream, it’s real and it’s going to happen. Because of bold creative acts of people like Ayn Rand and those who live by her ideals—not as mere abstractions, but as real people struggling to create a benevolent world that makes sense.

The Movie

The Fountainhead, the book, was published in 1943, a couple of years before the end of WWII. Through the 1930s around the world, and especially among the Western intellectual elites, collectivism in the form of socialism and state socialism—notably the Soviet Union—was held in increasingly high regard. Many Americans felt that US president Franklin D. Roosevelt’s socialistic New Deal was what liberated them from the misery of the (capitalism-caused) Great Depression… plus he was such a good, caring man, with his handicap and all, that everyone loved him without reservation.  .AND. he boldly led us to victory in war; that cuddly superpower ally, the Soviet Union, then helped to finish the task of defeating the Nazis.

Movie Review: Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life
Story of a once-in-a-millennium spirit __ 10/10

Written by Michael Paxton
Directed by Michael Paxton

Sharon Gless … Narrator
Michael S. Berliner … Himself
Harry Binswanger … Himself
Sylvia Bokor … Herself (artist)
Daniel E. Greene … Himself (artist)
Cynthia Peikoff … Herself
Leonard Peikoff … Himself

Ayn Rand: If a life could have a theme song, and I believe every worthwhile one has, mine is a religion, an obsession, or mania, or all of these expressed in one word: individualism. I was born with that obsession and have never seen and do not know now a cause more worthy, more misunderstood, more seemingly hopeless, and more tragically needed.

… as the camera approaches the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor at night with crisp, pensive piano chords accentuated with a couple of low drum rolls penetrating the quiet space. Then Sharon Gless‘s soft, pleasantly firm voice narration continues to identify the source of that quotation: Ayn Rand. Calling it fate or irony that she was born in a country least suited to a fanatic of individualism, Ayn Rand (born Alice Rosenbaum) herself provides most of eloquent verbiage that Gless and others use to document her exceptional life.

Michael Paxton’s Sense of Life, a splendid achievement in its own right, is as thorough and objective a treatment of novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand— from her coming to America from the bowels of collectivism, to her perseverance and accomplishments as a writer, to the succinct description of her writing artistry and her philosophy of Objectivism, to the chronicling of Ayn Rand’s “presence” as a public figure—as one will probably ever see. His film is also dramatically compelling… at least for those of us who care about the progress of individualism. Continue reading →

Obsolete phrase: “independence of mind”
By Jon Rappoport [Full original column here.]

Like a car with high fins and long protruding tail lights, the phrase “independence of mind” has gone out of style, especially at colleges and universities where it ought to be the most profound ideal. The thugs have taken over.

As recently as 2008, a professor of Jurisprudence at King’s College London, Timothy Macklem, described the phrase in this fashion:

“Independence of Mind [explores] the ways in which the fundamental freedoms help us to achieve something even more profound, by enabling us to arrive at beliefs, convictions and voices of our own, so that we truly come to think, believe, and speak for ourselves in the rich and various ways that the freedoms then protect. Privacy grants us the distance and refuge from others necessary to develop views of our own; freedom of speech calls on us to imagine ways of expressing ourselves that are both true to the views we have developed and innovative in their own right; freedom of conscience enables each of us to create a distinctive rational personality in which to embed the convictions that we wish to treat as non-negotiable…” Continue reading →
