Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged - John Todd Speaks of the REAL Purpose of the Book

[TheMagneto187]

This guy knows what hes talking about, wake up people !

[adefaira]

What a maroon!

[jjenson2006]

This guy is like Michael Moore. He's a capitalist who profits off his lies to please the followers on the left.

Ayn Rand was absolutely against control of any kind. Any one who disagrees with this simply does not know enough about Ayn Rand, plain and simple.

[777godwithme]

@jjenson2006 That;s why he gave his life up, was tortured, and disappeared? What makes you so knowledgeable? Iv'e never seen you in seminars, or heard of any of your books. What proof do you have? Are you willing to give up your life for your renderings? Do you not know what doublespeak is? I don't know you, but knowing the Lord will endow one with wisdom and truth. will be able to disseminate double speak from truth. See who Ayn Rand associated with philosophies...

[jjenson2006]

@777godwithme "That;s why he gave his life up, was tortured, and disappeared? " Who? "What makes you so knowledgeable?" I've most of Rands books. "Are you willing to give up your life" You mean am I an idiot?.......no. "heard of any of your books" Since when is a persons knowledge measured by the amount of books they wrote? "knowing the Lord will endow one with wisdom and truth." What proof do you have that there is a lord? Do I doublespeak?

[jjenson2006]

@777godwithme Todd was arrested in May 1987 for the rape of a University of South Carolina graduate student. After his arrest, he was additionally charged with sexually molesting two children who attended a karate school where he worked. He was convicted of the rape in January 1988 and sentenced to 30 years in state prison.[13] In 2004, Todd was released, but he was put in the care of the Behavioral Disorder Treatment Unit run by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health.[14] - Wikipedia

[jjenson2006]

@777godwithme So now what do you think of your hero? Maybe you should do some research on the pedaphiles you praise before opening your mouth?

[777godwithme]

@jjenson2006 God has given me over a dozen lifes, and I have had experiences that are more complex that any movie plot. I am here to bring truth to those who sleep. All people in America have been brainwashed. All people on this planet are dumb sheep when it comes to knowing about the War in the Universe between a loving God and an incideous evil enemy. One who will eat up your soul, and spit you out! He is you worse nightmare! Get saved before you will have the worst mind blow unimaginable!

[jjenson2006]

@777godwithme LOL

[777godwithme]

@777godwithme John Todd gave his life...YOu don't know???

I spent 43 years studying watching learning was part of secret societies

you scoff books, but base your knowledge on Raynd's books?

God doesn't have to prove HImself to you. You have your own choice. Holy Spirit is an supernatural extradimensional God, teaches the only truth that matters.Truth of the WAR in against Lucifer (Satan). God's righteousness and truth in His Word is the only book needed to bring reality into perspective.

[PROTESTANTatARMS]

Now, it would appear Mr. Morneau (Not the real Morneau, just the pseudonym, screen name Morneau) that you here are speaking out against the illuminati by airing an excerpt by this individual who did speak out against the book Atlas Shrugged, however, you left out his whole discourse. You did give an excellent plug for the book, to incite curiosity, which, if your desire was to get people to go out and read the book, with an air of plausible deniability as to your desire than, bravo.

[XIIXCECXIIX]

Ayn Rand predicted that America would become socialist and resemble Nazi Germany, with police state, propaganda campaigns, and the destruction of liberties and the intelligentsia. TRUE!

If you want to know the truth on the illuminati, study euclidean geometry, Hermetic philosophy, freemasonry, alchemy and egyptian lore. research hermetic orders and pagan symbolism. research financial history.

AYN RAND IS THE ILLUMINATIS MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY, IF YOU ACTUALLY READ HER BOOKS YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND.

[XIIXCECXIIX]

This guy is an idiot. Ayn Rand read by communists?

AYN RAND IS THE MOST ANTI-COMMUNIST AUTHOR EVER TO LIVE!

she hates altruism, self-sacrifice, socialism, communism, anything collective, because she was born in soviet russia and hated it!

Obviously this guy has never read an Ayn Rand book, nor does he have the most basic understanding of her philosophy.

Ayn Rand could be called a 'individualist', she preaches logic, reason, and free thinking.

This guy is too ignorent to believe. he lies.

[Sumdude54]

This guy is retarded and your a retard for listening to him, it doesn't make sense. He can't even get his political ideologies right.

[nyruby]

@Sumdude54 So what exactly are you a ra tard ! lmao

[mrvolant7]

he said this book was meant for satanists her other books were read by communists.ww3 is coming brought to you by these same people that

started ww2 and ww1.they have a master plan look at the back of any 1 dollar bill. then search the front for a small owl.have your handbaskets ready

because your all going to be led into hell by these same people.

[cosg9531]

As if anyone on Earth could have "ordered" Ayn Rand to do anything. If anyone would beleve that, they don't have the slightest trace of comprehension of Ayn Rand. Memo to this useless clown speaking in the video; her (adopted) name was not Ann, or Anne, it was Ayn (pronounced as a long i).

[PepeTheDon666]

KILL THE JEWS! No jew is a "good jew" we are their "infidels" FUCK THAT!

[TheKindPiper]

most of these comments by Roger are bogus. ...'people who read them are communists'.... what a baseless and stupid claim! Ayn Rand carries a common theme throughout her books. Capitalism is the only MORAL economic system. It promotes hard work by people serving their own self interest, and in aggregate benefiting all of society. This is in sharp contrast to a communist system whereby individuals are helpless, clueless saps to be herded by their wise government MASTERS! Read it people!

[officialchristiantv]

just cheked out the book

[itsBarcode]

hahahhaha what an idiot

[LuqmanNaq]

I agree with the uploader that the present economic situation and the storyline of atlas shrugged is very similar. By that book there will be a global economic collapse and 'the elite' will hide away in an undisclosed location as the economy collapses and then reemerge to establish a new government... I defy anyone who's done serious research into the economy and the coming economic collapse to dismiss John Todd's claim as completely unfounded.

[HorChild]

Wicked White people have taken over the whole world through their evil!

This is why white people hate Muslims - they hate the Good!!!

[SMessinger74]

@HorChild Muslims are not good and you need to get right with God cause in the end Jesus will be coming back to reign on his earthly kingdom and if you have not recieved him as your Saviour guess where your heading, thats right stright into the lake of fire with the devil and all his wicked demons and all those who have done wicked and served the devil instead of Jesus. So you keep believing the lies of the devil and tjat good is evil and evil is good. So Repent and trust in Jesus.

[Austinbit]

"Communists read Atlas Shrugged"...I think thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard. IF Atlas Shrugged was a set of instructions to destroy the government, why the heck would anyone publish it.

Conspiracy freaks like this use big words and shock to make you avoid the use of common sence...

[LuqmanNaq]

@Austinbit I agree that the communist statement was ridiculous. I don't think he's claiming it was to destroy the government, but the united states. The parallels with the book and our current situation is that we are heading for a global economic collapse, and that the wealthy will hide away as the chaos ensues and then will reemerge to establish a new form of government. I personally don't think John Todd's claim is that crazy.

[Coteincdr]

@Austinbit hahaha!!!

[residentzombie]

Research Humanism and you will see the Pagan philosophy in it's roots. Humanism without respect to God is EXACTLY what Lucifer wants us to believe.  WE are all god.

[residentzombie]

The only and big problem with Ayn was her lack of steadied principle moralty NOT cooperating with self interest and self greed for creating a better situation for one and their kids through prosperity. It allows one to justify one's principled integrity AFTER self interest to one's welfare. It praises Humanism.

[usernamesarehard]

@residentzombie I've read all of Ayn Rand's philosophy and I still have no idea what the heck you are talking about when you say her "only and big problem with Ayn was her lack of steadied principle moralty.."

What do you mean by that?

[residentzombie]

@usernamesarehard The pursute of one's happiness comes before any steadied principled morality towards others.

[JoshPahr]

@residentzombie her philosophy states you help others in emergencies, in the situations that don't happen everyday, like a flood or a fire since those situations are the exception to normal not the rule. It also states treat strangers with respect until the break or forfeit that respect. If a man spends all of his money to save his wife, it is not out of selflessness, but selfishness. Because he loves his wife more than he loves money, he traded a lesser for a greater value, thus not a sacrifice

[diaverde09]

lol. 

[jcfan42]

I suppose people buy the book thinking it is pro-capitalist, pro-freedom, in general, and do not see it for what it really is.

[IAmAynMan]

Why of course we hope to take over the world. Right now its ruled by spastic , conniving bureaucrats who hope to trick the talented and productive into propping up corrupt regimes no matter how vicious they become. The illuminati were the enemy of such bureaucrats and their kings. As for the book, it says plainly and often, NO MAN OR GOVERNMENT CAN CLAIM A SHARE OF SOMEONES WORK WITHOUT CONSENT. What's not to like?

[haansgruber]

Spoken in the carter era all of this rings true. Compared with what we see happening in the world today it's easy to see he was absolutely correct

UN, NWo, Theosophy, Alice Bailey, One world everything agenda

it's a little difficult to discount it all as mere coincidence

peace :)

[savageecho]

Its funny when he says that the book is mostly read by communists. This is one of the most anti-communist books ever written and the idea of individualisms is directly opposite communism...

[jh3815]

What about Alan Greenspan being part of Rand's inner circle. Is it just a coincidence that eventually he became Chairman of the Federal Reserve or as Ayn Rand would have put it "Chief Economic Dictator". I''m still a fan of Ayn Rand even though I'm just a working class menial schmuck like most everybody else. BTW, Roger Morneau's 'A Trip Into The Supernatural is an awesome read.

THE SABBATH IS SATURDAY!!!

[funkysnarf]

that is one of the most ridiculous pieces of blarney i have ever heard.... Rand was talking about all the horrible shit she had seen roosevelt do with the new deal to collectivise america. The only reason why this videos author can say it looks like whats happening today is because it is the same fucking scenario as the great depression and govt growing and seizing control of the means of production. only now we're just fucked. Atlas Shrugged is a great book. Truly great novel.

[Sam26100]

People are freaking stupid

A code in the book?!? and who exactly would know this code, the people who are buying up the book now?

I know many friends who have purchased the book recently, none of them would know how to read a super secret code any more than I would

The book isn't read by communists either, has this guy even fucking read the book??

It is a masterpiece though... not a code, but it's a work of genius, plain and simple. It describes what IS happening today

[LordoftheKaty]

This is fucking stupid. The book Atlas Shrugged, which i have read THREE TIMES, is a ascenario taken by Ayn Rand on HOW collectivism works and can be used to take over our nation. And you can't even say her name right. STFU loser

[vincent4500]

@LordoftheKaty sorry bud, collectivism is part of the plan going back to Adam Weishupt...John Robison, a university professor from Scotland was courted by the Illuminati and they gave him a copy of their agenda...he published a book called 'proofs of a conspiracy' in the 1800's...and he states Weishupts plan was to encourage a revolution worldwide under the PRETENCE of collective good, but in fact long term was about destroying the old world order to establish the NWO

[LordoftheKaty]

@vincent4500 Actually, I didn't mean collectivism works, I meant how it shows the way collectivism does not work. lol And I know all that

[chopsky]

Hahaha. This is the craziest shit I've ever heard. What a moron.

[JCJ77]

Rand was so salient on the issue because she witnessed it first hand as a young lady during the birth of the Soviet Union. Most of the people who read Ayn Rand are the complete opposite of communists. The guy in the video is high on disco and commy hash imo and has no idea what he is talking about.

[RedPillProject]

funny how many Ayn Rand fanatics are too busy defending their idol instead of listening to what Todd has to say!

John Todd likes the book! That is why he is recomending it!

He is basically saying that Rand did not gather the amazing info for the book out of thin air, she got it straight from the TOP of the PYRAMID! she had really solid knowledge!

[777lovewillconquer]

the book was published in 57,todd was speaking in the early seventies,15 yrs later.3 yrs off is disinfo?And as for this as a diversion do you think we have a parliamentiarian solution to this mess?Doesn't look like Obama is saving anyone except maybe Cheney and Bush from the gallows.Maybe its time we think outside the box and I guarantee Ayn Rand isn't gonna lead you to enlightenment.

[dannidandannikins]

This video is amazing. I genuinely didn't realise it was possible to be as stupid as John Todd, yet he seems to manage it with aplomb.

[ImThinkin11]

@dannidandannikins Haha-indeed. :)

[DaddyWalrusguy]

I haven't even read this Novel :S sounds like another ANGELS & DEMONS book

[Beethovens7th]

Haha, oh my god, what a fucking joke. Read by "communists?" Written "12 years ago?" I understand this recording is from at least the 70s, making him off by at least a decade or so. He's just making shit up.

You're an idiot.

[garyjohnson12]

I listened about 2 minutes into it until Mr. Todd (apparently an expert on Ayn Rand) mispronounced her name and stated that Atlas Shrugged was a popular book amongst "communists." LOL!

I'd wager these "Illuminati" conspiracy theories and such are actually created by the government as a way to distract stupid people from the real conspiracies going on right under their noses (socializing health care, starting pre-emptive wars, bailing out their buddies on Wall Street, etc.).

[BONOBOS48]

@garyjohnson12 Picked that up right from the get go, he is a real expert lmao

[Sumdude54]

@garyjohnson12 Exactly this Illuminati bullshit is for the masses who are trying to learn but are stuck in this non sense. And this guy is a retard.

[777godwithme]

@garyjohnson12 Unless one understands the teachings in the 1611 king James bible, and the War in heaven, it is a conspiracy THEORY. However, all l the "little conspiracies as you mention are all the actual distractions, because Lucifer doesn't want anyone to know about the matrix he has us in, and what the war is all about. Todd is explaining the war. This Earth is a prison planet, and Jesus Christ , our Creator, came to rescue us from eternal oblivion.

[xXspringsXx]

@garyjohnson12 All those "Real Conspiracies" are apart of Illuminati

[InFromTheVoid]

Who was John Todd??? Was he a Christian? Cuz the bible is full of lies..wouldn't believe anything anyone said who believed that cooky stuff.

[haansgruber]

Nice try: John Todd spoke these words in about 1970

peace :)

[CerealBowlLifeGuard]

You are spreading pure dis-info sir.

"Rand knew none of the Rothschilds at all. There is no evidence,

from her private journals or correspondence or from any witness

statements, which would suggest that she knew, or had ever even met,

any of the Rothschilds" James Viliant (author/researcher) Ayn Rand has one fault of which she is absolved, and that is atheism. She is to be forgiven for she gives misguided souls a reason to be moral which is the thing this world lacks most. Shame on you for this

[lakoncers13]

i have heard of John Todd a few times and the more i get into it, the more i want to believe William Cooper, John Todd, Rik Clay, Randall N. Baer, Phil Schneider, and Fritz Springmeier. All these supposed crazy people who just happen to be in naval intelligence, or the naval construction engineer of military underground bases, and other reputable stuff and all just happen to mysteriously die or flat out get murdered by the police. Shrugged by the way is a great book illuminati or not.

[emperial]

he talks about a reading list, but onlt talks about Atlas Shrugged. Does anyone know what other books he recommended?

[zombiechaddy]

Actually, idiot, I used the word "idiot" in the same way I would say, "Roger can't even pronounce her name right."...idiot.

[RogerMorneau]

Actually if you paid attention those are the words of John Todd.

In your flurry of emotion, and your selfish need for a rebuttal you seem to have not read the title.

If you can't read a simple title, you can't read anything necessary to pull you out of your haze.

[zombiechaddy]

Dear idiot:

I was giving you an example. I chose the first name I saw and it was your user name.

Strike two. Goddamn, you're an idiot.

[ImThinkin11]

This is a total invention to discredit Ayn Rand. Believe it if you like believing in total lies.

Nuff said.

[whydoineedmoney]

@ImThinkin11 if you think this discredits aryn rand then read the last bling king that shits all over her face

[doughtymqan]

@whydoineedmoney I met John Todd in the 70's. He was the most demented, hate filled, paranoid SOB I've ever had the misfortune to meet. Rand is 100% correct. Some of these commenters should study economics 101.

[ImThinkin11]

@doughtymqan No Truth in these guys, they just love Lies UGH.

[ethanshin423]

Thanks for posting this. Rand also wrote a book Fountainhead in which an evil character Ellsworth Toohey talks about how to rule souls. Google it. Super creepy. I was a huge Rand fan for awhile, too.

[Guncriminal]

Well, yes, he was the villan. That's what villans do.

[RogerMorneau]

Excuse me Mr. Criminal. It's "villains". Funny how quick karma comes around.

[noobrigde]

Its not Karma idiot its Ironic, but i suppose your evasion to reality would only confirm your evasion towards definition.

[blueprophet9]

Oh man, it's so pinpoint to the characters we have around now. I'm sure you know the hierarchy of control. The priests rule over the kings and so on, and so on. Toohey is in a sense a high priest, since he isn't noble of anything...he did initially want to be in the service of the church. Rand is sharpest in the subject of objectifying what the world is experiencing to a tee in her works. Very strange indeed.
