State Sen. John Goedde (R) introduced the bill in committee on Tuesday to mandate that each student pass a test on the novel before they are able to graduate from high school, according to The Spokesman-Review.
But Goedde said that he filed the bill to make a point and does not plan on pushing the issue.
"It was a shot over their bow just to let them know that there's another way to adopt high school graduation requirements," Goedde said during the committee meeting. "I don't intend to schedule a hearing on it."
Rand's 1957 novel has become a favorite of libertarians and tea party Republicans in recent years. Ninety Catholic faculty members at Georgetown University noted last year the the Republican budget authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) reflected "the values of your favorite philosopher, Ayn Rand, rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
"Her call to selfishness and her antagonism toward religion are antithetical to the Gospel values of compassion and love," the group said, adding that the budget was in line with Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, one of the tenets of which is that greatest purpose in life is one's own self interest or happiness.
"When I read Atlas Shrugged, and it's been probably 30 years since I read it, but it certainly gives one a sense of personal responsibility," Goedde explained on Tuesday. "I don't plan on moving this forward - it was a statement."
Atlas Shrugged Outlines The Illuminati Purpose And Plan For World Takeover
THE ILLUMINATI PURPOSE AND PLAN FOR WORLD TAKEOVER
John Todd
The Conspiracy for world takeover is as old as man himself. The Illuminati, in recent history, has twice tried to control the world — in Napoleon’s day and during World War I.
Only about 5,000 people in the entire world know the true purpose of the Illuminati and its conspiracy to rule the earth. Their plan was written down in code, as a fictional novel, in 1957.
In the mid-1950′s Philippe Rothschild ordered one of his mistresses, Ayn Rand, an established authoress and philosopher, to undertake the writing of this code to the witches of the world. This novel, Atlas Shrugged, was never intended to be a best seller, although it turned out to be one.
The main characters of Atlas Shrugged are code names for individuals or companies. The code is as follows:
John Galt — Philippe Rothschild
Dagny Taggart — Ayn Rand
Dagny’s brother — The combined Railroad System
Ellis Wyatt — David Rockefeller
Hank Rearden — U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel
Francisco D’Anconia — Combined Copper Mines
Galt, D’Anconia, and the Pirate –Rothschild Tribunal
The Tribunal in the book went around convincing certain major corporation presidents of their philosophy and plan, getting them to bankrupt their own businesses. The owners of these companies would then vanish and leave with either Galt or D’Anconia to a retreat area in the Colorado mountain regions. “Colorado” is the code name for the “Bermuda Triangle”, the place where the key figures of the Illuminati will be when the world crashes.
There are six areas of society in which the Illuminati intends to rule:
1) Religious 4) Educational
2) Political 5) Military
3) Economic 6) Social
On August 1, 1972 Philippe Rothschild sent some papers to a meeting of the Council of 13 by State courier to San Antonio, Texas. Besides the usual pay-off notes and progress reports, the papers included a projected takeover plan. It read as follows:
1) Remove the President and Vice-President
2) Republican Successor throws election to Democratic
3) Democratic President gets following laws enacted:
a) Federal gun law taking weapons away from citizens.
b) Removal of tax exemption from churches (This is House Bill 41)
c) Genocide Act — Making it a crime equal to murder to convert a person from one religion or faith to another.
d) Presidential Martial Law Act — This allows the President in time of “National Emergency” to suspend the Constitution, Congress, and the economic system. The President, in essence, becomes dictator of America.
e) Anti-Hoarding Act — This makes it a felony to have more than 30-days supply of food, fuel or medicine stored up at one time.
f) Anti-Business Acts Equalization of Opportunity Act Fair Share Law Directive #10-289
President Carter was able to get some of these laws enacted before leaving office.
Plans for America: Make every person totally dependent of the government by:
1) Creating a pseudo-fuel shortage and food shortage.
2) Confiscate all guns.
3) Calling for “Helter Skelter” (All trucks, trains, planes, and ships, except Military, will stop. An army of some 200,000 white prisoners and motorcycle gang members will create mass insanity in the streets by bombing church buildings, raping, murdering, and other fear tactics.)
4) Declaring Martial Law. Activate the National Guard to keep order, after the public cries out for any kind of help. There will be one policeman to every 5 people. Once this “National Emergency” is declared, it will never be cancelled.
All countries except America will be sent against Israel for oil. The use of neutron bombs allows destruction of people while leaving all buildings, natural resources, and croplands intact. When the war is over, the world is to be ruled from Jerusalem.
