Rather, it signaled the beginning of a new, independent, and open Objectivist movement, one that appreciates the fact that individuals must come to the truth in their own way and that takes a tolerant, rational attitude toward intellectual debate.   Since that day, we have worked to eliminate from Objectivism the closed and dogmatic attitudes that had kept it from spreading its life-affirming message.   Read more >   The Atlas Society PO Box 7601 #94614 Washington, DC 20044   tas@atlassociety.org www.atlassociety.org "Fascinating and provocative."  —Lester Hunt, professor of philosophy, University of Wisconsin-Madison         Recent blog posts: Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2015  by Ed Hudgins Ed Hudgins opines on "What should the remembrance of the Holocaust teach us?     A Concrete-Bound State of the Union - by William R Thomas The concrete-bound mentality, Ayn Rand explained, is one that focuses on what can be seen and eschews thinking in the abstract about long-range consequences that can't be seen.

Hollande Snubs Netanyahu: French Anti-Semitism

Hollande's Netanyaho Snub Proves the Need for Israel   By Edward Hudgins We took hope at the sight of French President Francoise Hollande marching in solidarity with dozens of world leaders to denounce the Islamist massacres of Charlie Hebdo journalists and Jewish shoppers in Paris.   Netanyahu and Hollande   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas marched in the front row, so maybe Hollande could have taken this rare occasion of accord to play the diplomat and further Middle East peace.   But hope became disappointment. . .

Eric Holder's legacy of injustice

Eric Holder's Legacy Of Injustice By Alexander R. Cohen   Eric H. Holder Jr., who is resigning as U.S. attorney general, has a long and distinguished record as a subverter of justice. Start with something fundamental: the right to a trial. As attorney general, Eric Holder runs a Department of Justice that rarely bothers holding trials. In the Aaron Swartz case, for example, Holder's prosecutors threatened a young man with charges that could have sent him to prison for fifty years—all to try to get him to plead guilty and accept a sentence of six months or less for downloading academic articles. Their victim, a young Internet innovator, killed himself.  Read more >   Sidney Powell on "The Real Legacy of the Enron Task Force"   Texas "super-lawyer" Sidney Powell describes how a handful of corrupt federal prosecutors destroyed Arthur Andersen; assaulted Wall Street; sent innocent Merrill Lynch executives to prison; changed the balance of power in the US Senate; facilitated the enactment of Obamacare; and became assistant attorneys general for the criminal division of the Department of Justice, chief White House counsel, and general counsel for the FBI.  Watch video now > The Atlas Society 1001 Connecticut Ave, NW Suite 830 Washington, D.C. 20036 (800) 374-1776 (202) 296-7263  Fax: (202) 296-0771 tas@atlassociety.org www.atlassociety.org     "... a chilling page-turner. If you don't know much about how vague federal laws and regulations can put innocent people at risk, or if you already know but want to know more, Rich-Hunt is for you." -- Review by David Henderson, Research Fellow with the Hoover Institution, author of  Making Great Decisions in Business and Life.
