Promethean Action

President Trump has announced that he wants to put America back on the Moon by 2024. You can hear Lyndon LaRouche, if you knew him, absolutely roaring with approval. This is the key flank. After all, what has been the central issue ever since Roosevelt’s death? Defeating the optimism which John F. Kennedy once again evoked in the American population. Any colonial regime must lower the expectations of populations both for themselves and their progeny which, being human, tend to be robust, tend to be excited by the frontiers of knowledge and exploration, tend to demand competent politicians and policies. Who else but Obama and Clinton infected with the British ideology, sabotaged our space program? Who else but the green new dealers advocate against population growth, life, and science itself? Who else but Obama and Clinton told our devastated formerly industrial heartland that it was over, manufacturing would never come back? The response of 9 million viewers to NASA's inspiring We Are Going video shows that Americans are hungry to once again push the frontiers of human knowledge. That is the opportunity that has been put before us today with President Trump's announcement of the 2024 mission.

The influence of Lyndon LaRouche's ideas in Italy reflects an advancement based on the scientific and artistic revolutions of the 15-century Florentine Renaissance. These advances include our return to natural, scientific musical tuning, as demanded over a century ago by Giuseppe Verdi; Italy’s recent moves to implement LaRouche’s proposal for Glass-Steagall banking legislation; a return to Hamiltonian principles of economic policy; and Italy’s bold leap to join China’s Belt and Road world development movement.

At root, however, there is nothing specifically Italian about these advances; Italy is the rich soil bearing the fruits of the Platonic current that rose in Ancient Greece, stretching through Nicolaus of Cusa, Johannes Kepler, the German mathematical physicist Bernhard Riemann, and the musical genius Wilhelm Furtwängler. Furtwängler’s almost single-handed effort to save European musical culture from being utterly destroyed by the British golem Adolf Hitler, later came to be a chief inspiration for LaRouche’s insistence that music unfolds not in sound, but in the Riemannian complex domain.

A live LaRouchePAC Broadcast including Bill Binney, Larry Johnson, Barbara Boyd, and Matthew Ogden. Washington, D.C. is now best seen as two opposing and warring camps. On the one side, the President and his allies are waking up to the fact that the coup conducted for the past three years against the Trump Presidency was undertaken on behalf of a very powerful group of people who were brazen and very incompetent in their effort to reverse the result of the 2016 election. They have exposed themselves. This powerful apparatus, misnamed the Deep State by those who don’t know their history, runs the other camp, inhabited by stay behind Republicans who are overtly or covertly Never-Trumpers, or Democrats who now bear no resemblance to the Party of Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, but instead represent something akin to a sexual and racial identity obsessed SDS collective from 1968 who have suddenly found themselves deeply in love with both the FBI and the CIA. Many people in both camps have no real idea why this war has taken place or what is actually at stake. Now the issue is: Will the population outside Washington and our failing Coasts, catch up to who the people who led this coup are and why they instigated it, so they can bring the 40% of the population who still believe that the President was elected as the result of the Russians stealing the 2016 election, back from what might appear to be hopeless insanity?

With the charge of collusion with Russia dead and buried, President Trump is moving quickly on the international stage to try to establish sane relations with Russia and China, as evidenced in the recent 90-minute Trump-Putin discussion and the just-announced meetings with Putin and Xi at the June G20 Summit. But the neo-cons and war-hawks in his Administration continue to push for confrontation, still peddling the line that Russia hacked the election and that Russia and China are our mortal enemies. On our conference call on Thursday, two former members of the intelligence community, William Binney and Larry Johnson, will join LaRouche PAC's Barbara Boyd to make clear two things: 1. There was no Russian hack. 2. The country which interfered in our election was Great britain, not Russia.

Will Wertz. The purpose of this class is to pay tribute to Lyndon LaRouche’s unique contribution to the Science of Universal History. In an essay he wrote published in the Spring 1993 issue of Fidelio entitled “On the Subject of God,” Lyndon LaRouche wrote: “If we measure history by the standard of each person as imago viva Dei, we have a completely different notion of history in general than is taught in our foolish university textbooks and kindred places.”

With their coup being exposed and set up for prosecution in the United States, the British have launched a world-wide strategy of tensions, attempting to lure Trump and other world leaders down a fateful and deadly path. The key players in the Trump Administration engaged in provocations reflect the consensus choices of the Anglo-American establishment, that formation which came into existence here following World War II which is thoroughly dominated by the ideas of its oligarchic mother. Upfront, we see the insanities of Bolton and Pompeo. But they are cheered and provoked by majorities in the Congress and the funders who currently pay for the American political process outside the revolt which is taking place against them in the U.S. population. It is clear that our sick elites will not rest in their mad determination to destroy a President. It is also clear that as the British role is increasingly exposed, the understanding of those patriots out to reverse the past 40 years in American history need a program, much education, and marching orders, to turn their inspiration into an effective force for healthy and dramatic progress.

There is a lot at stake with the current U.S./China trade talks. In dealing with each other, these two great powers decide on the future economic platform for the planet. For a road map of what is possible between these two nations, look no further than the wise words of Lyndon LaRouche. Featured in today's webcast is a speech by Mr. LaRouche, 22 years to the day, where he lays out the most productive agreements possible for these two great powers.

Featured speaker: Dennis Small. The story of the fight for a just New World Economic Order (NWEO) based on North-South cooperation and development, is a perfect case study of how ideas, and in fact only ideas, create history. The ideas around which the initial battles of the war for a NWEO were fought, especially in the period 1979-1983, and the concept of how to wage that war, were developed by Lyndon LaRouche. His approach was not simply to propose the idea, and to demonstrate that this policy would be beneficial for both the North and the South. His method was to actually lay out the underlying philosophical concepts and scientific physical-economic basis to prove that such an approach can actually work. The political relationships among the major protagonists in that battle—Mexico’s José López Portillo and India’s Indira Gandhi—were also fostered intentionally by LaRouche. And when an opening emerged when Ronald Reagan assumed the Presidency of the U.S. in January 1981, LaRouche pounced on it, to bring into the battle the forces that would actually be capable of defeating the enemy and winning the strategic war. That is an object lesson in an unfinished war.

Our founding philosophers, Ben Franklin and Gottfried Leibnitz, said that we live in the best of all possible worlds and that the creative powers of the human mind bring us into harmony with the changing and constantly being discovered universe. That notion, and its implications for how human societies are to be ordered, is at the center of our Constitution’s preamble, as Lyndon LaRouche repeatedly stressed. It is one of the great and lawful ironies of history that as the British Empire moved to destroy, once and for all, the great scientific and technological optimism which this generated in the American population, following Franklin Roosevelt’s death, China and other great nations were fervently studying the American System of political economy, a system which had birthed the most powerful economy the world had ever known until its recent and deliberate destruction. Many of those studies arose from the concerted campaign of Lyndon and Helga Zepp LaRouche. In China, last week, the second Belt and Road forum took place, generating cultural optimism and bestirring the imaginations of all who attended – creating a hunger for great projects to conquer the last frontiers of impoverishment and underdevelopment here in Earth while turning our eyes toward space and colonization of the Moon.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche opens this class series celebrating Lyndon LaRouche’s life and the continuation of his mission. The matter before everyone today is the lesson Mr. LaRouche demonstrated with his life's work: one person can change history. The most powerful force in history is not weapons, money, or armies, it is ideas. Today, the fruits of his organizing, alongside many colleagues, and his wife, are seen in the potential for international collaboration exemplified by the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.
