Peikoff Compares Whiplash To The Fountainhead

A promising young drummer enrolls at a cutthroat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential. A truly great movie in many respects. 


Trailer of Whiplash.

Whiplash is a 2014 American drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. The film stars Miles Teller as a young jazz drummer who attends one of the best music schools in the country under the tutelage of the school’s fearsome maestro of jazz (J.K. Simmons). It also stars Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, Austin Stowell, Jayson Blair, and Kavita Patil.

Leonard Peikoff (podcasts) is so impressed by the movie, he made his first film review and draws a comparison with the hero of The Fountainhead.

#CHARLIEHEBDO REPORTS ON JANUARY 7, 8, 9, 10, 2015

Terror at the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Two brothers, Said and Cherif Kouachi now killed, 26 yod hostage freed from a print shop near Charles de Gaulle airport. At a Jewish grocery in the east of Paris, 4 hostages as well as terrorist Amedy Coulibaly have been killed. Some confusion over the whereabouts of Hayat Boumediene.


Depiction of the West committing suicide because it has a blindspot for the enemy, who it thinks of as an equal. 

THE LEFT ARE ON THE JOB FIGHTING THE ENEMY

The lunatics are running the asylum. Truly. The Left are totally obsessed with a bunch of NIMBY petty bourgeois in Germany and an admittedly more formidable anti EU and anti Islam movement in France. So much so, they have become blind to the true enemy of our Enlightenment civilization who are killing people by the thousands! But that's OK, because they are a minority and "not us". We live in truly remarkable times.


TURKEY'S AK PARTY: "CHARLIE HEBDO KILLERS ARE MARTYRS"

Muslim Brother Erdogan is completely out of control, but the "international community" is looking the other way. Because it is "unthinkable" the civilized world would ever let go of its bridgehead into Asia, Turkey. Here's what our correspondent just brought to our attention. As we said earlier, the stench of hypocrisy is almost unbearable.



#CHARLIEHEBDO INSPIRES FEMEN STYLE KORAN BURNING

Posted on Live Leak yesterday in France. Given the time and place it is probably inspired by the cluster of terrorism in the country: a FEMEN style Koran burning! Go Girls! The posting on YouTube has been removed for "fraud and copyright" related issues (or something).



A French speaking women burns the Quran in Femen style. Wait for the topless part or skip to minute 02:08.



THE STENCH OF HYPOCRISY IS THICK IN THE AIR

The world is wallowing in hypocrisy. The stench is overwhelming. And it is going to be worse tomorrow! A few people close to Charlie Hebdo can't take it any more. Among them, a Dutch cartoonist working for CH who hates editorial meetings, and Jeannette Bougrab the wife of Charlie Hebdo’s editor-in-chief Stéphane 'Charb' Charbonnier. Bougrab, a junior minister in the previous government and a member of the center-right UMP party, said she was speaking as "a French woman of Arab origin" when she said there was no such thing as moderate Islam.
"The same people who are now yelling "Je Suis Charlie" called my husband an Islamophobe and a racist only a few weeks back!"
A prominent Dutch cartoonist at Charlie Hebdo heaped scorn on the French satirical weekly’s “new friends” since the massacre at its Paris offices on Wednesday. “We have a lot of new friends, like the pope, Queen Elizabeth and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. It really makes me laugh,” Bernard Holtrop, whose pen name is Willem, told the Dutch centre-left daily Volkskrant in an interview published today. France’s far-right National Front leader “Marine Le Pen is delighted when the Islamists start shooting all over the place,” said Willem, 73, a long-time Paris resident who also draws for the French leftist daily Liberation. He added: “We vomit on all these people who suddenly say they are our friends.” (Source)

#CHARLIEHEBDO HIJACKED BY THE LEFT

To the Left everything is politics! They are hijacking #CharlieHebdo and turn it into a crusade against the Right wing party, Front National who currently represent some 30% of the vote. That's the Leftist approach to democracy and 'unity' for you. But of course FN are fascist racist haters, so that's OK. One particularly vicious message is a plea to Muslims not to engage in any more terror attacks, because this "might bring the Right to power". Muslims are also doing their part to whip up the hatred, mostly their own.

A minute of silence in the schools. Many Muslim children refuse to participate.

Jihad is war, not crime


The situation in Paris shows the futility of "curing" Islamic terrorists with prison sentences. Jihadism isn't crime, it's war. It proves how right the Bush administration was to just remove terrorists from the battle field, interning them in Guantanamo Bay. Enemy combatants must be removed from the battle field. So you don't jail them for 2 years, then release them on to the public, as was clearly the case with one of the Kouachi brothers. The brothers have been on the radar of the authorities for years! This is taking unnecessary risks. This is not unethical. POW are taken in every war, for the duration of the war! It's unethical to take unnecessary risks with the lives of innocent civilians if it is your duty to protect them.
