[“Fear them not, therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hidden, that shall not be
known.”](Luke, 8:17, King James Bible).
Don’t be distracted by the indigestible
news-feeds and blog posts coming your way on every variety of topic
today. Of course, there are events that “everyone is talking about,”
such as the announcement of more weapons to be sent to Ukraine by the
Trump Administration and NATO. These, however, no matter how important
they may momentarily be, operate within the realm of entropic,
predictable tragedy. Such, however, is not, and will hopefully never
be, our focus.
We must be clear-eyed about unfolding tragedy, in
order to avoid it. The tragi-comedy in Ukraine, with its Wal-Mart
Pagliacci, is now coming to a close, no matter what the headlines say,
and the weapons shipments, real and merely promised, are. Yesterday, a
new deadline, 50 days, by which time the war in Ukraine must conclude,
was decreed by President Trump. As with the famous story, “The
Monkey’s Paw,” however, we should not only wish for the Ukraine war to
end in 50 days, because that wish might be granted in ways that
neither the United States, nor Russia, nor anyone else in the world,
except for haters of the human race, would intend.
Nothing done by anyone in NATO, including the
United States Presidency, can reverse defeat on the battlefield there,
which was inevitable. This includes escalation with more weapons being
sent to Ukraine, or with sanctions, for reasons contained in Annie
Jacobsen’s story. Loss of the fragile trust that now exists between
Russia and the United States can mean that the slightest
miscalculation, or careless dismissal of an evaluation provided by
officers that go against prevailing opinion, including that of the
leader of a nation, can cost humanity everything.
Instead, we invite you to challenge the hidden
axioms that underpin tragedy. We investigate reality, not “virtual
reality.” We rely on our real ideas, and not others’ “artificial
intelligence.” We stand for the sovereignty of principle, not “the
rule of law.” Our forces have just addressed, over
July 12-13, the international community, particularly the BRICS
nations, with the Schiller Institute’s Ten
Principles for a New International Security and Development
Architecture, placed at the center of the world
dialogue.
This dialogue and call to action consists of our
organizing a series of presentations, now in the ascendancy, including
conferences, seminars, classes. The purpose is to fashion a new system
of international and intercontinental congresses, in person and
online, focused on the method of discovery and re-discovery of new
ideas, and old ideas that have been lost. In doing this work, we are
walking in the footsteps of thinker
Lyndon LaRouche, and the mission expressed in the life’s work of
the late economist and statesman.
A clean break with our recent past, particularly
the past 55 years since August 15, 1971, must be made by a United
States that has not only de-industrialized itself, de-populated
itself, and pauperized itself, but is now tearing itself down.
Technological progress through mass employment in mining,
manufacturing and agriculture, has to be returned to the United
States. The promise of a future must be given to the nation’s (and the
world’s) youth. And a new security and development architecture must
be composed by Russia, the United States, China and other nations,
with which this Presidency must engage.
