HALLIBURTON HOUSE, INSPIRATION FOR "THE FOUNTAINHEAD" (UPDATED)

Early in her career the young Ayn Rand visited Halliburton's House (1938) in Laguna Beach. It was her inspiration for the novel The Fountainhead, in which an individualistic architect, Howard Roark chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. (Wiki) 

Halliburton House (1938) in Laguna Beach.

John C. Drew, an award-winning political scientist.is relating on his blog a recent visit to Halliburton's House (1938) in Laguna Beach, said to be the model for Howard Roark's fictional Heller House in Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead. (Wiki) Halliburton's House was visited by the young, yet-to-be-famous Ayn Rand when she was inspired to write the novel about personal and professional integrity. Draw describes it thusly:

FROM THE ASHES OF POSTMODERNISM, COSMIC CHRISTIANITY (UPDATED)

The tide is turning for Christianity. This is not unexpected. Leonard Peikoff posited as much in his DIM Hypothesis; or he expected at least some return to M1 or M2 Mysticism (chart) (background). And mystic it is! In its slide towards relativism, Protestantism seems to have run its course toward Nihilism. A renewed and rejuvenated mystic Christianity would take the shape of pre Vatican II Catholicism or a return altogether to the source, as preserved over two millennia in the various strands of Eastern Orthodoxy.

Nov. 24, 2021 The Symbolic World: A Return to Cosmic Christianity with Bishop Barron.

Bishop Barron thanks Postmodernism and the New Atheists for the opportunity they offered to Christianity to liberate and rejuvenate itself. He brings up two figures in his comments upon whom we often draw in these pages. He brings to mind the Philosopher-Pope, Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) whose book "Without Roots", a critique of Relativism and Positivism acted as a midwife to present blog. Barron also brings up the horrible influence the Pietist philosopher Emmanuel Kant had on Modern thinking, which is the reason why -- unlike Barron -- Prof. Stephen Hicks categorizes Kant as a handmaiden of Postmodernism. More in "Countering Kant". 

2020 ELECTIONS: LINDELL KICKING OFF 96 HOURS THANKS-A-THON

In the early hours of Thanksgiving, Thursday November 25, MyPillow man Mike Lindell's 96 hours long Thanks-A-Thon has kicked off on his platform FrankSpeech.com. It all centers around a 82 page complaint (PDF) that will be submitted to the Supreme Court in DC.

Nov. 24, 2021 Mike Lindell: Help Save Our Country, Please Share Everywhere.

The Thanks-A-Thon is held from Nov. 23 midnight till Sunday Nov. 28 midnight. Lindell and his lawyers are going to unpack the complaint they will file at the Supreme Court in DC with regard to the voting machines and the cyber side of the election fraud perpetrated during the Presidential election of 2020. Lindell has some experience with mega happenings. He laid out the evidence in August during a four day cyber symposium in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Among the participants were officials from 25 US states, 70 credentialed cyber experts, and some 300 politicians from all 50 US states. 

QUEST FOR MODERN ISLAM: JORDAN PETERSON AND MUSTAFA AKYOL ON ISLAM, CHRIST AND LIBERTY

Islam apologists have long pointed to a moderate Islam. The fiercest critics of Islam are holding on the other hand that Islam is Islam. But if Jews and Christians can reform, so can Muslims. Indeed you can't change an ideology, but you can change the mindset of the people and the culture. Key is the long and hard process of individualization and dropping the totalitarian aspects that have long bedeviled Mohammedanism.



Nov. 8, 2021 Jordan Peterson talks to Mustafa Akyol about Islam, Christ, and Liberty.

UPDATE: Mustafa Akyol and Jordan Peterson discuss Muslim history and tradition. They touch on subjects like Jesus Christ from a Christian and Muslim perspective, the Virgin Mary's role in the Koran, separation of Church and State as an ideology, the dangers of literalism when facing religious texts, and much more.

INFORMATION WAR: WOKENESS HAS ALREADY LOST THE CULTURE WAR

Every pretense of objectivity destroyed, the media are openly hostile to anyone holding a position that does not fully comply with the latest insights of the woke cult. The media, including the ad departments of Woke Corporatism, are in open warfare with Conservatives, National Populists or really anyone they consider the enemy. 



November 5, 2021 Paul Joseph Watson: Social Engineering in TV Commercials.

UPDATE: It is our policy not to pay too much attention to all the woke insanity going on. Firstly, it is too dumb for words. The two tweets show that Microsoft is now considering not just external racial identity as the essential part of an individual, but also his choice of clothes and even his visual aids. It doesn't get any dumber, folks! It is also a fact that attention makes the wokesters more powerful than they really are. Wokeness is just a fringe psychosis propagated by the decadent ruling elites to make the normative majority feel powerless and isolated. So there's that. 

ENVIRONMENTALISM: COP26 GLASGOW - FINANCIAL SECTOR AGAINST HOME OWNERS

Environmentalism is improper knowledge masquerading as science. We take on faith the daily exhortations by media and authorities that the earth is warming due to human activities. These claims take advantage of the human trait to see patterns, even where none exist. Not to mention the shameless exploitation of Judeo-Christian guilt culture. The conservation leg values inanimate matter over living man. In Gaianism we close the gap with pagan animism. Environmentalism is basically a pseudo religious way for atheists to give meaning to their lives. 



November 3, 2021 Glenn Beck: It’s time to get your money out of THESE 7 Big Banks. Here’s why.

UPDATE: The Biden administration and other far-left elitists around the world actively are working to force their climate-focused agendas onto you. And, they have big banks to back them. Glenn and Justin Haskins, Editorial Director of the Heartland Institute, explain how these banks will use your finances to ensure you comply. One of the goals of The Great Reset is to eliminate private property, and those efforts have already begun targeting home ownership. But it’s not too late. 

THE TECH OLIGOPOLY IS ROOTED IN THE U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY STATE

During the Trump presidency the former Obama nomenklatura moved into the tech trust as a shadow Government. Big Tech in economic terms is called "a collusive oligopoly". New evidence makes clear Big Tech is functioning in conjunction with the ruling class. As Beattie has pointed out its roots are the DoD and the security apparatus and we should never forget that (social media file).

Oct. 20, 2021 War Room Pandemic: Big Tech Is An Extension Of America’s National Security State.

UPDATE: Beattie has reduced the tech trust to its ultimate root, the US National Security state. It is a very important insight, apparently going back to Julian Assange. James Poulos (vid 1, vid 2) has a very interesting book coming out, Human Forever. We will report on it after we had a chance to study it. Poulos is one of the few investigators who understands that the techs have a erroneous, materialistic view of the human mind. And because of it, the so-called singularity will either be a huge thud, or some clusterf*ck of unintended consequences.

EPISTEMOLOGY: 5 COGNITIVE SALADS THAT DESTROY REASON

The clusterf*ck of seemingly disparate fields as Covid-19 narratives, transhumanism, scientism and general liberal-leftie craziness can be reduced to one single, cognitive set of errors rooted in the Materialist approach to Man. The problem is not widely recognized and understood, because it has the capacity of bringing down the entire Western notion of what constitutes science. We will try to shed a layman's light on the issue in these pages. 

Oct. 16, 2021 Dr. Kevin Homer in War Room Pandemic: High Priest Fauci And Elites Defined An Orthodox Narrative On Secret Data.

As Dr. Kevin Homer explains in the video, the priesthood of Covid-19 are actually pushing a form of religion, not science. A thing called the freedom of enquiry has been canceled. We are left with Scientism, or Rationalism. But science proper also harbors some serious flaws since Hume and Descartes introduced radical Skepticism into the concept. But they are by no means the only perpetrators. 

AFGHANISTAN: BAGRAM AIR BASE TAKEN OVER BY CHINA

The Biden regime planned the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan -- the tribal eparchy where the attacks were planned by Al Qaeda -- to coincide with the 20 year anniversary of 9/11. Earlier this month Bagram Air Force Base was vacated, lock, stock and barrel. It is all reminiscent of Obama's betrayal of Iraq that resulted in the reign of terror by the physical ISIS Kalifate in Syria. Another power vacuum is being created and God only knows what the result will be this time. 

UPDATE: 

Oct. 4, 2021 War Room Pandemic: China Has Taken Over Bagram Air Base.

DEEP STATE CORRUPTION: GLENN BECK INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL FLYNN

Although the Spygate coup perpetrated by the Obama Deep State on duly elected President Donald Trump is still unfolding, it is now unlikely the Durham investigation will ever see the light of day. The single great mistake President Trump made, was omitting to dismantle the deeply politized and corrupt alphabet soup services. In the meantime the deep state corruption continues, now in the DoD. 



Oct. 2, 2021 The Glenn Beck Podcast: If the Deep State Can Ruin Gen. Flynn's Life, It Can Ruin Yours.

UPDATE: Donald Trump famously tweeted, “They’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” General Michael Flynn was also in the way, apparently, because the deep state has definitely gone after him, on every front. He’s been hounded by the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Democrat Party, and the media. But the hounding didn't stop there. Chase Bank canceled accounts because he was “a reputational risk.” Meanwhile, the real problems of our country go unchecked. Glenn and Gen. Flynn talk about all of it and more.
