For tonight‘s Thanksgiving day Fireside Chat we present Lyndon
LaRouche’s "On The Issue of Manifest Destiny." Though this speech was
recorded 25 years ago, today, when the issue of the Monroe doctrine,
has again been raised in the context of an impending war with
Venezuela, and the question of what should constitute competent
American foreign policy has been raised as well as around the war in
Ukraine and the genocide in Southwest Asia, this speech represents a
comprehensive view of how republican statecraft works. It also
succinctly defines the only proper economic and political meaning that
should be assigned to the term “the American system.”
LaRouche situates the role in the founding of the United States of
the 15th century Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, and also discusses the
difference between so-called “republican “forms of government in
Europe versus the republic of the United States. LaRouche asserts that
there has never been a competent form of Republic in Europe at any
time since the Greeks. He also discusses how to carry out monetary and
financial reforms together with other nations. “The Issue of Manifest
Destiny Today” also provides for young Americans and others the
historical background necessary for discovering , during the 250th
year commemorations of the birth of the United States, what the United
States actually is, and who we actually are.
