Hello
John
--
We are a critical catalyst in an FDR/JFK reflex emerging in these
last days before the most important election of our lives. LaRouche
would often call it a "Shelley moment", but in justice it should be
called a "LaRouche moment." For any doubters, as highlighted in the
exceptional discussion with Kesha Rogers and Gerry Rose in Saturday's
Town Hall,
FDR, JFK and a Second Trump Administration: Intention in the American
Presidency, look at the first three points in a Republican Party
tweet late last week with "Priorities for a Second Term":
“•Establish Permanent Manned Presence on The
Moon;
“•Send the 1st Manned Mission to Mars;
“•Build World’s Greatest Infrastructure
System....”
Our initiatives and posted material on
www.larouchepac.com are coming too fast to summarize here. Note only
that on Wednesday, we will have a further press availability with Bill
Binney and Kirk Wiebe to build on the hugely successful event last
week. Be sure to check the website for new directives constantly. Post
everywhere you can, talk to everyone you can, organize everywhere. Get
on call-in radio, bring everyone possible to our calls and online
events.
We have two exemplary letters-to-the editor as
models to adapt, or write on your own, now: From Ron W. in SD: ""Mobilize
Food Delivery To Fight Starvation in Africa" ; and from Doug M. in
Baltimore, copied below.
"To the Editor:
The good news: voters this year have a chance to
elect a presidential candidate who represents the best traditions of
the once-proud Democratic Party. The shocking news—at least for
some—is that it’s not Joe Biden: not even
close.
The real John F. Kennedy “Democrat” is none
other than Donald Trump. Instead of gagging and choking on that
assertion, the Never-Trumpers would do far better to consider the
historical record.
War and peace: JFK’s efforts to avoid the
quagmire of full-scale escalation in Vietnam provoked a big pushback
from his Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and National Security
Advisor McGeorge Bundy, who completely reversed his intent immediately
after his assassination, with utterly disastrous results. President
Trump’s orders to pull out of Syria and Afghanistan were bitterly
resisted by those occupying, ironically, the exact same two Cabinet
posts, James Mattis and HR McMaster respectively. But instead of
applauding the Kennedy-like efforts of the current President to
prevent global conflicts, the mainstream media and the Democratic
Party leadership lavished praise on Mattis and Company, calling these
happy permanent warriors “the adults in the room”!
Space exploration: Nothing better encapsulates the Trump
Administration’s affinity for JFK’s tremendous moon mission than its
successor’s name: Artemis, the sister of Apollo. But the determination
to set up an industrial base on the moon as the launch point for a
later manned trip to Mars stands in total contrast to the aversion of
the Obama-Biden Administration for any such undertakings, an attitude
that can be fairly described as: Ho-hum, been there, done that. And
their 2010 shutdown of the Constellation system set all of NASA on
life support, until its present revival.
Energy policy: Like JFK, President Trump is a staunch supporter of
peaceful nuclear energy, and has pursued innovative options like the
high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, that represent major advances in
both safety and efficiency. Starkly unlike JFK, today’s Democrats,
under the rubric of the ultra-Malthusian Green New Deal, exhibit a
revulsion for atomic power rivaled only by their disdain for oil and
coal. Yet while they preach energy conservation, they sure seem to
expend a lot of it scolding the rest of us for eating meat, driving
cars, and even having kids. Perhaps we can call their policy The Old
Frontier.
Monetary matters: JFK made powerful enemies on Wall Street for
daring to propose taking the power to print US currency away from the
bankers’ private fiefdom—the misnamed Federal Reserve—and restoring it
to the actual government agency, the Treasury. President Trump’s
(admittedly limited) attempts to rein in the Fed’s omnipotence were
met with a flurry of denunciations, many from leading Democrats
clearly intent on “earning” the hundreds of millions their party has
garnered in recent years from Wall Street and its Silicon Valley
offspring.
I cannot swear that if he had the chance today, President Kennedy
would vote for Donald Trump—although I certainly think those who
cherish his legacy should. But it is beyond dispute, that if he got a
whiff of what Joe Biden’s Democratic Party has degenerated into
lately, he’d spin in his grave."
