Is that a quote from "Atlas Shrugged"?
Not sure, I never did finish that book, it got too boring for me.
I have read Atlas Shrugged six times, although I never could get through John Galt's monologue (about sixty pages out of a thousand near the end). I did try to, but he just went on and on and it was more like Ayn's non-fictional philosophy, which tanks compared to her fiction :unsure:

How unfortunate lol.

Anyways back to the Riddle of Steel. Another piece of the puzzle.

How so? She is an excellent author of fiction, and what she has to say about communism should have been compulsory reading in schools, which actually might have helped stem the tide of what people call the leftist-Marxist agenda.

She's an extraordinarily boring writer and her vain philosophy of objectivism, like communism, can only exist in the realm of very dry and boring fiction because it is a lie. Like many of the fallen modern world's beliefs they either do not account for or elsewise do not understand the power or the nature of spirit.

LOL. Yes, she was an atheist but that does not mean she knew nothing or couldn't write.

Love her fiction, or hate her fiction, I would think you'd want to have the Marxist agenda quashed :unsure:

Well it's not merely just that she is an atheist, though yes, that should be enough to make any wise Christian to question her new age belief system, but really her vain philosophy very much disdains the spiritual side of reality, opting to cast it entirely away.

The Cold War ended when I was born so the fairytale of Marxism just simply cannot ever come to pass. This is a new age and a new dynamic that is not really new; Babylon and all her hordes of whores versus the very few faithful. They are quite juxtaposed in almost every single way as one might begin to notice, but this is perhaps better spoken of in other topics, though indeed the Riddle of Steel does factor into large sweeping world events as one can see from the British Empire's height to the World Wars to the Cold War to the current Era of Sorrows.

Owning private property and/or being allowed to profit from your own labors are not new age beliefs, at least, not exclusively.

In fact they are Biblical principles :) Communism opposes both.

It is interesting to see how Britain has consistently dominated in the manufacture of steel.

Right, but that's not all there is to objectivism. Ironically like communism it is a new age belief grounded in secularism. Ayn Rand's vain philosophy necessarily removes all spiritual phenomenon and elements because she viewed them as altruistic, the greatest sin in her little wicked pagan religion.

Britain used to dominate in the manufacture of steel. Though you are close to part of the riddle that I noticed right away when I first began researching the riddle. You will notice the top steel producers tend to be either the dominant world empire/nation or up to major things in the world if you know well your history and watch the years tick by and the places change. For instance we see Germany's steel production ramp up for the world wars before dropping off at their defeat in WW2. We see America ascend above Britain following the US Civil War. We see the Soviet Union both rise and fall. And we see the extraordinarily troubling rise of Chinese steel production in tandem with the rise of the system of Babylon's multicultural whoredom.

He who has the steel builds the modern world..... or can disrupt it.
You are correct: "[Steel production] is both a source of national pride and a symbol of a country's industrial might." (according to one commentator)

And China was allowed to steal the steel industry from the USA with the blessings of all the politicians and presidents since around 1978. Then Bill Clinton gave China added impetus in 1993 with his illegal Executive Order 12850. And until Trump came on the scene, the American government was happy to ship all US jobs and industries to China and concede industrial surrender to China. Since Trump made a serious effort to restore the trade imbalance with China, China took its revenge with the Wuhan virus, and Trump was caught napping.

China caused America to virtually shut down (with American co-conspirators such as Gates and Fauci working for China) while causing North Americans to surrender to totalitarianism through the lock downs, social distancing, and the wearing of masks (none of which made an iota of difference), along with loss of civil liberties. By handing over critical decisions to state governors, Trump lost control of a national health emergency (which should have been under presidential control at all times) to Leftist governors who abused their powers. Now the re-opening of the USA is proceeding on a hit-and-miss basis.

While the Communist Chinese were rolling on the floor laughing, George Soros and his co-conspirators decided that as soon as the COVID-19 scare diminished, and Spring came to North America, he would unleash Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other Radical Leftists on America to destroy its very fabric (and they are succeeding). And again Trump was caught napping. The death of George Floyd was a mere excuse. The Leftists could have come up with any another scenario if that was absent (even a false flag operation).

Now, unless President Trump focuses seriously and intensely on restoring law and order, the rule of law, and the supremacy of the Constitution, his presidency will be finished, and so will America as a free country. His first order of business will have to be the firing of his Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and his Secretary of Homeland Security. Between these three officials, the rioting and looting should have been stopped the same day they started in Minneapolis, and totally prevented in every major American city from then on.

This is a most excellent post. This Riddle of Steel goes very deep and reveals a lot of things, which is why I figured I'd create this topic and share some of what I have made out of the Riddle and see what some of you can scry from it also. Also because aliens and nonsense theories about the Pope get kind of boring.

And the riddle of the lithium-ion industry
Batteries are interesting, but just not as important strategically as steel. Though you could probably make a lot of money in this trade since Babylon needs lithium-ion to power her kids' smartphones so they can fornicate with the most wicked men and women on Tinder.
