Going Galt Galactic Style


Or escaping this ball of confusion
by Joe Siano



Call it synchronicity – meaningful coincidence.  The Space X manned launch coincided with the outbreak of the George Floyd justice uprisings.

It is clearly time to cash in and get out.

Folks on the Left as well those in the liberty movement are seeing the same thing - that the bloated welfare/warfare state is failing.  In fact, it has failed America for a solid century.

Its police fail to protect us.  The Supreme Court explicitly affirms that that police have no obligation to do so.  So, what are they doing?  For starters, we know that they shoot a good number of innocent and unarmed people.  We also know that they cruise around in mini-arsenals, armed to the teeth with hand-me-down war toys designed to kill foreign enemies.   That just does not seem right for a “peace officer”.

We also know that cops confiscate private property without warrant or court order.  If you look fishy to the fuzz, they take your money, car, boat, whatever on the hunch that you may be a bad guy.

We know that our government does not protect us from terrorism, in fact they invite it via foreign meddling.  The War on Terror has only produced harassment while traveling and gross invasions of privacy.  Americans are clearly less secure.

Our elected and appointed officials have proven them themselves incapable of protecting us from disease.  Their cure was worse than the malady.  Politicians cynically exploited the COVID threat to score points and wound opponents.  All at our expense.

Nor has the State apparatus made us financially safe. .  Continued Fed money pumping and astronomical budget deficits create bubbles and market crashes.  The more dollars we create the less they are worth.  If foreign nations and investors sense that our money is depreciating, they will dump dollars leading to accelerated domestic inflation and financial catastrophe.

And just like every other monopoly supplier, government schools deliver shoddy goods and poor outcomes.  For the most part, only the wealthy can afford to opt out, which they frequently do.

Which brings to America’s first manned commercial space launch.  It will not be long before the best, brightest and wealthiest earthlings cast their lot into the great beyond – far from the grubby hands of governments.   

“Go west young man”, exhorted Horace Greely in another century.  Today’s watchword will be “Go up!”

The earthbound are going Galt in so many ways.    Gun sales are skyrocketing as Americans realize that it up the to protect themselves, hearth home and family.

People are fleeing big cities – the citadels of progressivism.  Those staying behind are holding their official’s feet to the fire. 

No image from this past week was funnier that than Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, being booed, chased home and forced to take the walk of shame.  Frey is another White Weenie prog who believes that he and his party are God’s Gift to POCs.  Wrong!  The chickens are coming home to roost.



An-caps and the Justice Movement demonstrators see many of the same problems.   An-caps have ideas and solutions.  I’m not sure that demonstrators do, other than demanding “justice”.
The one thing that they are seeing is that statism has failed.    

Maybe, just maybe, this is the time to listen to fresh ideas.  Maybe just, maybe, this is the moment for a New American Revolution.
