Anthony - excellent sleuthing in your post above.
Here's Adam Curtis' 1992 film essay on Rand, from Pandora's Box, entitled To The Brink of Eternity.
Madmen posing as pure rationalists, arrogantly planning for mass depopulation through tit for tat nuclear war.
Finding the facts didn't fit their models, so falsifying the data to ensure the models provide the desired solutions.
If the threat is no threat, but your model of control needs a threat?
If your model Lusts after Terror. Is Driven by Fear.
Then imagine the Strategy of Tension as compartmentalised modus operandi.
