Atlas Shrugged, yes. Have you read it? Yes, multiple times. I've read almost everything Ayn Rand published, and have met some of people who have carried on her legacy.
As for the 2nd part, I'm familiar with the term, as you've used it several times.
I've asked you twice now to whom you're referring, and twice you declined. So I'm just going to assume that nothing has changed, that this is just another invertebrate-like tactic of tossing out a nice safe general reference without actually naming anyone. Nice clean suit, JR, you never get a stain on it.
