September 29, 2024 In defence of Secretary Alexander Hamilton by Lyndon LaRouche
The article is an excerpt from a political speech given by Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. in 1987. LaRouche argues that the economic ills facing the United States can be solved by adopting a system of economic policies he calls the "American System," which draws on the principles of Alexander Hamilton and Friedrich List. This system would involve large government investments in technology, infrastructure, and science, particularly in the areas of plasma physics, coherent electromagnetic radiation, optical biophysics, and computer technology. LaRouche maintains that these investments would create economic growth and prosperity, as well as advancing America's military and scientific capabilities. He further proposes a Moon-Mars colonization project as a long-term economic driver and a scientific endeavour, arguing that the technologies developed for this project would have wide-ranging benefits for the United States economy. LaRouche criticizes Adam Smith's free-trade doctrine, which he believes has led to economic decline, and argues that government intervention in the economy is necessary to stimulate technological progress and growth.

September 29, 2024 Report on a National Bank by Alexander Hamilton - 1790
This document is Alexander Hamilton's 1790 “Report on a National Bank”. It provides a detailed argument for establishing a national bank in the United States. Hamilton begins by reviewing the history and advantages of public banks, refuting common criticisms against them. He then addresses the existence of a national bank in North America, arguing for the creation of a new, larger institution. The report goes on to outline Hamilton’s proposed plan for this national bank, specifying its capital structure, governance, and powers. The report concludes by justifying the need for such a bank in the context of the young nation’s financial situation and development.

He further explores how various technologies, from the alphabet to the telephone, have reshaped human culture and society, leading to shifts in social structures, communication patterns, and even individual identities.

September 28, 2024 Why the People’s Republic of China Is Not Responsible for America’s Drug Problem by Cythia Chung
This text is an excerpt from an online article arguing that the People's Republic of China is not responsible for America's opioid epidemic. The article suggests that the epidemic's roots lie in a history of opium trafficking conducted by Western powers, including the United States, which profited from the misery of the opium trade. It argues that the American government, through the CIA and other intelligence agencies, was actively involved in the opium trade, using it to finance covert operations and to undermine communist governments. Furthermore, the article criticizes what it calls "mushy liberals" for their misguided policies that have exacerbated the problem. Finally, it argues that the opioid crisis is not an organic phenomenon, but rather a deliberately engineered outcome that serves the interests of those who benefit from the suffering of the "useless eaters" of society.

September 28, 2024 Audi Abu Nasar, an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
This text is a transcript of a lecture by Wadie Abunassar, an independent commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, delivered at the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies in Ljubljana. Abunassar discusses the complex situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting the asymmetry of the conflict and the four major obstacles to a peaceful resolution: the lack of strong leadership on both sides, insufficient understanding between Israelis and Palestinians, the problematic role of the international community, and the marginalisation of the Palestinian cause. He also explores the current crisis in Israel concerning the proposed judicial reforms, arguing that these changes threaten Israeli democracy and could lead to further instability. Abunassar concludes by emphasizing the need for both sides to work towards a peaceful future, while offering his perspective on possible solutions and the critical role small countries can play in facilitating dialogue and cooperation.

September 26, 2024 How the British Invented Communism - by Richard Poe
The audio recording is a discussion between Richard Poe, author of the book "250 Years of Color Revolution", and Matt, a podcast host. Poe argues that the British Empire was responsible for orchestrating colour revolutions, such as the French and Russian revolutions, to destabilise governments and secure British dominance. He suggests this narrative was then deliberately deflected onto Jews to cover up the British role.

September 24, 2024 CEP 108 - Deep Dive
Deism and the Enlightenment's Attack on Religion
The Enlightenment's embrace of deism, as exemplified by figures like Voltaire, aimed to undermine the authority of the Bible and traditional religion by promoting a view of God as a distant clockmaker who established the universe but does not intervene in its affairs. This separation of God from the natural world, as reflected in Voltaire's famous line about a clock existing without a clockmaker, was a deliberate attempt to challenge the prevailing belief in a God who actively participated in human affairs and the natural order.
Proponents of deism, like Voltaire, strategically used science as a weapon against traditional religious beliefs. For instance, Voltaire sought to discredit the biblical account of the Great Flood, a story that held significant theological weight as a testament to God's judgment and power. He even financed expeditions to search for seashells in mountainous regions, believing their absence would disprove the flood narrative, demonstrating a willingness to manipulate scientific inquiry to advance his agenda.
The deistic movement's emphasis on reason and empirical evidence as the primary sources of knowledge ultimately contributed to the rise of atheism. By reducing God to a distant and uninvolved entity, deism provided fertile ground for the later rejection of God altogether, as seen in the emergence of explicitly atheistic ideologies like Marxism.

September 22, 2024 Mike Benz - Deep Dive - Inside the Censorship Industrial Complex | SRS #132
Mike Benz, a former cybersecurity official within the Trump administration, discusses the "Censorship Industry," an intricate web of entities he believes are working to silence dissenting voices online. Benz alleges that the U.S. State Department, alongside other government agencies, private organisations, and tech companies, are collaborating to control the flow of information, particularly surrounding topics like energy policy and elections. He contends that this "blob" is attempting to influence public opinion through a variety of means, including pressuring tech companies to censor certain narratives and using foreign aid to promote censorship regulations abroad. Benz believes this agenda aims to suppress populist movements worldwide and bolster the influence of the U.S. foreign policy establishment.

September 20, 2024 The X-Club - Deep Dive
The provided text discusses the origins and activities of the X Club, a group of Victorian scientists who, according to the author, aimed to reshape British Imperial strategy. The first source, a scholarly article from the journal Isis, focuses on the formation and early history of the group, arguing that they sought to promote scientific naturalism and assert the authority of professional science within Victorian society. The second source, from the website GreatGameIndia, presents a more controversial interpretation of the X Club, arguing that they were involved in a larger scheme to redefine science in a way that served British imperial ambitions, citing the founding of Nature magazine as evidence. The author of this article further suggests that the X Club's influence has had a negative impact on science by suppressing alternative approaches to scientific inquiry.
