Opis

Aug. 8-Lyndon LaRouche has introduced a cultural upshift into his year-long Saturday dialogue with New Yorkers, and two-year organizing initiative known as "the Manhattan Project." The short version would be called: "Think like Einstein." In this way, and only this way, can the American people today live up to the revolution in human affairs, begun by the Founders, that is now required to save this nation in defiance of its apparent electoral or other prospects. In 1763-1776, the American period of Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Alexander Hamilton, only three and a half million people resided in the thirteen colonies. Within that highly imperfect colonial system, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great thinkers, inventors, and statesmen were, nonetheless, produced. A self-developing revolutionary form of self-government and physical economy, the greatest in all recorded history, was their monumental creation, advanced by a core of geniuses that included Gottfried Leibniz, who had already been dead for a half century. The Presidency of the United States, a non-hereditary "philosopher king" to be deployed in the service of a Presidential system, - dedicated, as Hamilton's four great Reports on the national bank and its constitutionality, public credit, and manufactures suggest, to advance and safeguard the new nation's productive potential for the general welfare of all its people, - was the new system's crown jewel. Today, with a population of 330 million, about one hundred times that of 1776, can it actually be true that all the United States can presently produce to fill that world-important position, is Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? The level of political, intellectual, and cultural discourse seen at the recent Democratic and Republican conventions might suggest that to be so, but it is not. Lyndon LaRouche, the world's leading economist (as shown by his 40-year record of successful forecasting), is a part of the institution of the American Presidency. Through his regular Manhattan-based Saturday dialogue session, as well as in smaller, informal discussions with associates, LaRouche has announced to his organization that "I am available," not as a 2016 Presidential candidate, but as a representative of the office of the Presidency, to act as a rallying force capable of removing Obama, and his influence, from provoking World War Three, including thermonuclear war. LaRouche's institutional role in the United States Presidency was earned much earlier, by dint of the power of the "SDI"-Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative-intervention that he made in the late 1970s and early 1980s into world military strategy, nearly defeating the Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) policy of thermonuclear war. When LaRouche's policy intervention was rejected by the then-Soviet Union of Yuri Andropov, and undermined domestically by circles associated with George Bush "41," George Schultz, Henry Kissinger et al., LaRouche was thrown in jail, after an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate him nearly thirty years ago, on October 6, 1986. Those actions did not stop LaRouche from being correct about the consequences he had forecast for his opponents if they did not adopt his policy.
