Well the word is out, the first outing of John Galt jr in the print press was made on 11/04/2000 in the Buck's County Observer. Ron is John, John is Ron. The man who has been writing and making public appearances under the nom de plume of John Galt jr since 1995 is really a 50 year old Pennsylvania man named Ronald E. Gascon.
John Galt Jr. is a fictional man living in a real world, a world run
by pseudo intellectuals, who believe that they are educated because they can recite
current politically correct propaganda backwards and forwards.
John is a fighter
for peace for freedom, for individuality and for basic rights of humans, animals
and the planet. His only intolerance is intolerance. He is a dying breed of real
men. He is a man of principle and compromise,
non militant separatist. He is
fair and compassionate. He believes that all the correct answers logically must be
compromises between free souls and their various schools of thought.
Many have commented, that they believe, that John Galt
jr is nothing like the original John Galt of Ayn Rand
fame. (Atlas Shrugged) Why would he be? The character of John Galt jr. is
the ancestor of the original. What traits are passed along from generation to generation?
In the tradition of Aristotle passing the torch to Plato, John Galt jr's philosophies
represent the next generation of thinking, that that would replace those of the past
generation... and the cycle continues.
John Galt jr's words through the
author should have meaning for all of us in this real world, because they are insights
into a possible future not the reflection of those days gone by. Our current state
of affairs inspires him to continue to write in order to try to right what is wrong;
as well as what is going wrong with the real world in which we live.
John is
very much the heart and soul of Ronald E. Gascon, formally the anonymous author of
these works before you.
