The Mission of Mankind
President Trump announced yesterday that he is faced with the most
challenging decision in his life: when, and perhaps more importantly
how?do we restart our economy once the scourge of this
pandemic is contained? Under this pressure, he said he will compile a
council to advise him on every aspect of the decision, yet the
decision is his alone.
If he is to succeed, then the American people must also rise to
meet our greatest challenge, and the ideas of LaRouche must be
exonerated and freed for full public discussion, as there has always
been a higher quality of moral devotion when our nation rises to her
intended role.
Presidents Washington, Lincoln, and FDR captured this in their
commitments to all Americans, and to all people everywhere. Lincoln
looked to the special relationship with both Mexico and Russia during
our most deadly crisis, the Civil War. Roosevelt looked to China and
Russia as our most important allies to rescue the world, and begin
global reconstruction.
As we face a global pandemic and a massive economic shutdown
globally today - the most unprecedented challenge to our nation and
the world, the question before us today is: will we rise to that
higher level of devotion, to a devotion for future generations and not
only for ourselves, but for the development of all nations.?
For as we all know, as severe as this situation is here in the
U.S., in many parts of the world the effects will be unimaginable.
Here is LaRouche reflecting on such questions in 2003:
"All great leaders have the commitment to immortality. Not
immortality in the sense of the flesh, but to say, I have only one
life, how shall I spend that which is limited anyway? In the simple
way, a family - they sacrifice for their children and grandchildren.
They say, I am doing something for humanity. I produced good children,
good grandchildren. We make the society better; therefore, I achieve a
certain kind of immortality.
"The typical politician lacks that, ...{and} when you don't
have that, how do you expect the people, who are tied up in their
concerns for their immediate family interests, their insecurities,
their concern for this and that, their income problems; how do you
expect them to come out of their littleness, if the leaders of society
act like little people themselves? Act like little mannequins? What
you need are true heroes. Not the heroes of the sword, but the heroes
of the spirit. You need a combination of courage, like that of Jeanne
d'Arc, but you also need the wisdom that goes with it, the wisdom of
the soul.
"Now, let us come back to the United States,
and our crazy culture, that we destroyed.
"I saw it happen, because when I came back in April 1946, the
majority of American soldiers in India, were fully in support of U.S.
support for Indian independence. One year later, two years later, back
in the States, of those I knew, 95 percent had gone over to the other
side. That is how it happened. The point is, what had made
the?Americans moral, was that FOR provided them with a
program for recovery from the Depression, and with the task of war,
and gave them a sense of mission, that they had to do something good
for the world. He brought them out of the Depression. When he died, I
began to see this. The first thing, was with the soldiers in
Canchapara. I was there on my way to Burma, and a bunch of soldiers
came to me, on April 12, 1945, and they wanted to talk about what it
meant for us, that the President had died. I answered first off the
top of my head, but I came to the right answer. I said, I am worried,
we had a great man, who led the nation, but the war is not completed.
I am afraid of the effect, when a little man, replaces a great
man."?

Are we great men and women today? It is undeniable that the ideas
of Lyndon LaRouche have never been more important, nor more relevant
than they are today.
