May 17—The poet of freedom, Friedrich Schiller, famously wrote, “There is a limit to a tyrant’s power.” Israel’s current despot, the bloodthirsty Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, it appears, is about to discover this truth. After months of letting him use their soldiers as if they were units of the Waffen SS against the Palestinians in Gaza, a significant component of Israel’s military establishment is now in open rebellion against Bibi and his policy of endless war against Palestinians, sources report.These sources, both here in the United States and in Israel, believe that there will be no benefit to Israel from a broad assault on the last standing Gazan city, Rafah, which even after more than 400,000 residents have reportedly fled, still holds more than a million people, among whom, Bibi claims, are 4 battalions of Hamas fighters, which he has said must be “annihilated.”Israeli military intelligence, as well as the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, believes that Netanyahu will not succeed under any circumstances in eliminating Hamas, will not fully destroy Hamas’ fighting capability, but instead, through the expected extensive “collateral damage” in the form of thousands of innocent civilian deaths, will only increase the political strength of Hamas and other militant groups, by mobilizing the Palestinians against “their insane and murderous Zionist enemy,” as one source stated.“The military believes that the solution to this crisis can not be won on the battlefield but must come from a negotiated settlement that will force Hamas and others to disarm and become part of a new political leadership that will rule Gaza. While this view may be far from a unanimous opinion, a majority of the military sees now that there is no alternative to the eventual creation of a sovereign Palestinian state—something Israel agreed to in the Oslo Accords of 1993, but which the Messianic Bibi rejects, with Old Testament fury. He has said the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] must stay permanently in Gaza, if ever the fighting were to stop, to police the peace. But as one military figure told me, they don’t want to do that, as it makes them targets and will never lead to peace.“The time for bombs is over, if there is to be any kind of peace,” the source stated.But this and other sources believe that the racist Netanyahu's campaign in Gaza  has never really been about Hamas or some kind of vengeance against the perpetrators of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel that slaughtered at least 1,200 mostly innocent civilians and took 240 hostages.  They see what he is doing as part of his messianic ambition to "save"  Israel from being overwhelmed by a Palestinian state. His purpose, they say, is to render Gaza and the rest of a potential Palestinian homeland an uninhabitable rubble heap for decades to come, while drowning the potential state in Palestinian blood. In Bibi's warped reality, the only "day after" plan for when the fighting stops, "is the peace of the graveyard," a source stated.Looming over military leaders, their civilian commanders, and most decidedly Netanyahu, is the likely issuance of arrest warrants for them by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity—precisely the charge against the German Nazis, which led to their being tried at Nuremberg after the war, and many being hung.“People are taking this very seriously, especially in the last week, on May 5-6 when Israel observed Holocaust Remembrance Day, a state day of commemoration, to remember the victims of the Holocaust,” a source stated. “They [the military leaders] want to make it clear that Bibi is the guilty party and remains so.”On May 11, in an unprecedented move, several generals of the IDF held a press conference directly contradicting Bibi’s claim that his long-awaited Rafah offensive would completely destroy and eliminate Hamas and its fighters. The generals declared that not only would the operation in Rafah not destroy Hamas, but no military action could accomplish that. They also questioned whether there was any post-fighting government plan, and said that a permanent IDF occupation was not a solution.Then, on May 15, In an unprecedented open challenge to Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said at a press conference he would not agree to Israel establishing military rule in Gaza, and called on Netanyahu to publicly declare that Israel will not do so. Gallant said that he had asked the Prime Minister to find an alternative governing body to Hamas, but has yet to receive a response. Gallant said that this effectively means a military regime in Gaza, to which he will not agree.Also on May 15, Netanyahu told CNBC that Israel and the U.S. “have a disagreement on Gaza. Rather, on Rafah. But we have to do what we have to do.… We cannot continue into the future by having Hamas retake Gaza...Talk about the day after [the war], while Hamas is still intact, is [pointless].”“The time for IDF generals to confront Netanyahu about the lack of a strategy for ‘the day after Hamas,’ was before embarking on the ground maneuver. They have grounds to blame him now for squandering the tactical gains, but they also shoulder part of the blame. The debate on ‘the day after’ is an essential one, but it’s taking place seven months too late,” commentator Anshel Pfeffer wrote in Haaretz May 13.At Israel’s May 13 Memorial Day ceremony on Mt. Herzl, Israel’s national cemetery near Jerusalem, Netanyahu said: “We will realize the goals of victory, and at the center of them is the return of all our abductees home.... But the price we pay ... is very heavy.” Many audience members left during the speech in protest.As Bibi ally, the lunatic National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, tried to speak at the Memorial Day ceremonies at the Ashdod Military Cemetery, bereaved family members began shouting: “Get out of here, criminal! Trash! You didn’t serve in the army for a minute!” Meanwhile Gallant himself was given similar treatment at the military cemetery in Tel Aviv, where the crowd waved signs bearing photos of their dead loved ones in his face, as they shouted out, “Their blood is on your hands.”All this follows several days of televised police brutality against families of hostages who are leading the demonstrations demanding a ceasefire deal and a return of the hostages. These images have shocked many Israelis, turning ever more of them against Netanyahu. Now, with the hostage talks on hold, journalist Seymour Hersh, writing yesterday in his Substack blog, reports that the IDF, on orders from Bibi, have begun to flood Hamas tunnels in parts of Rafah. The murderer Netanyahu wants everyone in the tunnels dead, Hersh reports. It is thought that many hostages are in those tunnels.Also, yesterday, there are reports from Cairo, that Egypt may not only pull out of any mediating role in peace talks, but may break relations with Israel over its attack on Rafah.“Something has to give,” said a source in the United States. “Bibi is not going to resign. If he does that, all he faces is jail from his corruption indictments, whose trials the war has conveniently stalled for a time. And he may face an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, should that come. Nor does he plan to call for new elections. So, that means he has to be forced out.“Those who might want to do this might now gain some courage with the knowledge that the IDF will support such a move. If all else fails to get him out, would the IDF initiate such a move, and demand Bibi resign, or place him under house arrest? Normally, I would say that would never happen in Israel. But these are not normal times. The Biden administration would look on such an action as a blessing. Joe Biden hates the guy, but lacks the balls to take anything more than the dithering steps he has already done. But he will definitely support Israelis getting the job done. Let’s see what develops.”
May 11—In an overwhelming vote in favor, by 143-9, with 25 abstentions, the UN General Assembly’s 10th Emergency Special Session passed a draft resolution May 10, that “the State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the United Nations” under its Charter rules. The Special Session recommends that the 15-member UN Security Council reconsider the matter “with a favorable outcome.” On April 18, the United States vetoed a UNSC resolution presented by Algeria on behalf of Palestine’s full UN membership, backed by 12 other member nations.Today’s resolution was prepared by the United Arab Emirates, current chair of the UN Arab Group, and sponsored by 70 other countries, the New York Times yesterday. In introducing the resolution, U.A.E. Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab said that the “vast majority of countries in this hall are fully aware of the legitimacy of the Palestinian bid and the justness of their cause, which faces fierce attempts to suppress it and render it meaningless today.”Those countries that voted “no” include the U.S., Israel, Argentina, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Palau, Nauru, Micronesia and Papua New Guinea. Although the UNGA doesn’t have the authority to grant Palestinian membership, it did vote to upgrade Palestinian “rights and privileges” which will take effect at the beginning of the new session on September 10, UN News reported May 10. Some of those rights and privileges include being seated among member states in alphabetical order and making statements on behalf of a group; submit proposals and amendments and introduce them; and the right of members of the Palestinian delegation to be elected as officers of the plenary and the Main Committees of the General Assembly.The U.S. voted against today’s resolution, and in statements yesterday, U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative Robert Wood indicated a U.S. veto is likely when the current resolution goes to the Security Council. “We’ve been very clear from the beginning there is a process for obtaining full membership in the United Nations, and this effort by some of the Arab countries and the Palestinians is to try to go around that,” Associated Press reported him saying. “We have said from the beginning the best way to ensure Palestinian full membership in the UN is to do that through negotiations with Israel. That remains our position.” Just where Israel’s negotiations stands as the process for full UN membership he did not say.

You have probably wondered why you have not seen any recent posts featuring the news that the powers that be don't think your entitled to know.Well, it has not been that we have not been trying. But as a result of what we bring you—the truth, from which you can make reasoned judgments about the crazy world in which we all try to live—we have been under continuous and relentless attack from the enemies of truth—the  intelligence services of NATO, Israel, the slave state called the Ukraine, the British, and from sections of the U.S. intelligence community. These attacks, unless we can intercept them and block them from affecting our servers, prevent and block you from seeing things, and at times bring down our servers themselves.These attacks have intensified in recent days, as the crises in the Middle East, the Ukraine and elsewhere reach critical junctures. But, we at Speir Digital have been working with equal fervor to solve the puzzle of the multi-front attack on us and design capable defenses. We believed that we have done that—at least for the time being.So, without further ado,  here now, the news that the powers that be don't want you to see. Go to it, truth seekers.The Management
April 14—President Sleepy Joe Biden’s offhand comment April 10 to a reporter’s request for a response to a recent vote in the Australian parliament that calls on the United States to drop espionage charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has fueled new speculation that such a deal may indeed be in the works. Biden’s response was “We are considering it.”White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, responding to a reporter’s follow-up question on the President’s remarks, would not say anything beyond what the President had “shared” the day before, and referred other comment to the Justice Department, which later declined to comment.However, sources close to the White House report that Biden may be doing more than considering it. They indicate that the President now views the Assange case as a problem for his re-election campaign. Many of his supporters, especially those who might call themselves progressives, have been calling for an end to what are unprecedented espionage charges against Assange, who published leaked classified documents in WikiLeaks, stating that they represent an attack on freedom of the press. Lawyers for Assange, who is being held in the high security HM Prison Belmarsh near London while a British court decides on his challenge of U.S. efforts to extradite him, maintain that he cannot be prosecuted for revealing criminal acts undertaken by the government. If he should lose this challenge, Assange could be placed on trial right in the middle of the presidential election race. “If they pursue this case,” said a U.S. based source with connections to the Democratic Party, “it will cost Biden votes.”This and other sources report that the Justice Department has indeed be working on a deal that would drop the espionage charges, which carry a severe sentence, for a lesser charge of mishandling classified documents, to which the publisher would plead guilty and be released for time already served.The Wall Street Journal, no friend of either justice or Assange, leaked reports of this last month, in what many believed was an attempt to sabotage the deal.At the time, both the Justice Department and lawyers for Assange denied that any talks had taken place on a “deal,” but other sources reported that the denials were a formality, so as not to prejudice the British court’s decision.“It looks like things could be moving in the right direction,” Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, who often serves as his spokesman, told the BBC April 11: “Really, Joe Biden should have dropped it from Day One.”A source indicated that any deal might wait on the British court decision, which may come this month.
April 11—Ukraine’s “information warfare” department, the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), has published a new “analytic report” of a “large-scale Russian disinformation campaign” it alleges is ongoing in Germany. This publication by an agency which interfaces with NATO signals how the NATO-Brussels war party which coordinates with the CCD is escalating its campaign to silence advocates of peace throughout Europe.Helga Zepp-LaRoucheOnce again, the Schiller Institute and its founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche are singled out by the CCD information warfare unit as a key obstacle to the war party’s aims. In summarizing its April 8 “report,” the CCD asserts that it has “established that the Schiller Institute, under the leadership of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, is a platform for promoting narratives consonant with Russian propaganda.” The reasons given for labeling the Schiller Institute and its founder as Russian propagandists, include that she “supports the so-called ‘peace camp’ in her activities and opposes the supply of weapons to Ukraine.”Likewise, she dares to state such realities as that “Russia is at war with NATO” and “many people in many countries are extremely concerned that this could lead to nuclear war”; or that “the ‘elections’ were held fairly in Russia,” “the Russian economy is stronger than before,” and so “Vladimir Putin will be President of this country for another six years, if not longer, with a level of support unmatched by any politician in NATO.”Nor is anyone to be permitted to say “Russia has become very popular among most of the world’s nations, especially African nations, because it not only survived, but also made progress,” let alone that, with the West’s rejection of China’s peace proposal, which the Global South supports, “it now becomes clear to the whole world who is trying to establish peace and who is trying to escalate the war.”These are among the reasons given for explicitly targeting the Schiller Institute as such (a first), as well as its founder. Up till now, it has targeted Zepp-LaRouche and other individuals associated with the Schiller Institute.Similar specious grounds are cited for targeting the other German institutions and persons called out in the report as allegedly serving Russian purposes: the national ZDF public TV channel, the Berliner Zeitung daily, and Anti-Spiegel, along with journalists and bloggers Thomas Röper, Kim Dotcom, Alina Lipp, and Armin Körper.The CCD is worried about European opposition to the NATO war drive. Since March 29, the CCD has been posting a series of short items on its Telegram channel purporting to expose how an alleged Russian operation named “Pravda” is tailoring its propaganda message for different European countries, trying to “creat[e] a negative image of Europe” (!) and its war aims. So far, the posts have covered eight countries.The CCD is particularly worried, however, about Germany, given its “leading political role … in the development of the European Union and the deepening of European integration.” So far, the “analytical report” on Germany is publicly available in full only in Ukrainian.

March 28—"The unspeakable is regularly said in Gaza. From teenage girls hoping they are killed; to being told a child is the last survivor from their entire family. Such horror is no longer unique here…. Amid it all, so many brave, generous and tireless Palestinians continue to support one another, and sister UN agencies and UNICEF continue.“As we heard yesterday: the (United Nations Security Council) ceasefire must be substantive, not symbolic. The hostages must go home. The people of Gaza must be allowed to live…. In the three months between my visits, every horrific number rose dramatically. Gaza has shattered humanity’s records for its darkest chapters. Humanity must now urgently write a different chapter.” This was the partial testimony of James Elders, spokesman of UNICEF, at a March 26 press conference in Rafah, site of the next impending mass kill of women and children in Palestine (there are 600,000 children in Rafah.)Is our humanity a mere abstraction? Do we have an immortal human identity above our various ethnic and cultural differences? Are we a single human species, or not? If we are not, then the United States’ representatives at the United Nations, at the State Department, in the Congress and Pentagon are correct—the March 25 UN Resolution 2728, calling for a ceasefire, immediate release of hostages, and allowing full humanitarian access to Gaza, “is not binding.”UN Secretary General António Guterres wrote on X that “The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.” But that was not the view expressed by the United States. The UN Security Council vote was 14-0, with one abstention—the United States.In a press conference the following day, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby was asked about this:Q. "On the nonbinding thing, the UN Secretary General said after the vote, ‘This resolution must be implemented.’ You say it’s nonbinding. So, who is right here? And if it’s nonbinding, if, as you say, it does not change anything, why has the administration blocked so many pretty similar resolutions in the past?Kirby: “Because they didn’t condemn Hamas. I’ve said that repeatedly….”Q: “This one doesn’t condemn Hamas either….”Kirby: “Because they condemn Hamas and because they also just called for a ceasefire with no linkage to the hostages. This one, the reason why we can’t support it but didn’t veto it is because it does link hostages and a ceasefire, which is in keeping with our policy.”Q: “And on the binding thing, is it binding, nonbinding?”Kirby: “It’s a nonbinding resolution.”There was a time when America was better than this. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King believed that “All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.” He transformed that idea into direct action on behalf of African Americans, but all people, non-violent action through which apparently powerless, disenfranchised, dispossessed, “despised and rejected” citizens, were bound together in a great cause—resurrecting their own humanity.In this moment, it will take not only leadership, but “discipleship” to make the acknowledgment of the humanity of the Palestinians “binding” on the Malthusian rules-based disorder of the Anglosphere. Becoming a student of the Oasis Plan, the comprehensive plan for Southwest Asia devised by Lyndon LaRouche and refined by his associates over 50 years, means to learn how to implement it, immediately. You will never achieve a “political” or “military” solution of the “Mid-East problem” without simultaneously putting “shovels in the ground” to build this world-transforming project. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, said in her weekly strategic dialogue today:“The UN Security Council vote is mandatory, but that is then the question if Israel will regard that as obligatory to follow. And if not, the question is what other measures must be taken? In any case, we can only suggest to change the entire outlook: That is why the Oasis Plan conference must be a really powerful intervention, and I think what you can do is to help us to build the conference. Get as many individuals, but also organizations, from the region, from Southwest Asia, but also from the United States and from Europe and other parts of the world to put in their weight. Because this is so enormous, naturally, the United States could have stopped it from the very beginning; now they are under pressure to do something. But, the big question is, will they? And I think the only thing one can do is to have—you know, if you had the whole world, like a powerful chorus, demanding that the suffering of the people in the region should stop, and therefore that the Oasis Plan should be implemented. Just imagine, the BRICS countries would all say that, if all the neighbors would say that, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Iraq, Syria, Türkiye, and then beyond that, all the countries of Europe, and everybody would demand that, it could happen! So that is the purpose of this conference, that we can build the momentum, and show people a vision for how, actually, through economic development, peace can be established.”Yesterday called by Christians Holy Thursday by some, Maundy Thursday by others, could also be called the Day of Gethsemane. On that night, the “prophet without honor in his own country,” Jesus, in an agonizing moment of decision, became one with his mission to mankind. “O my Father, if this cup cannot pass from me, but that I must need drink thereof, Thy will be fulfilled.” The “imitation of Christ” means to accept the cup, in our time, as Martin Luther King did in his lonely opposition to the unjust war in Vietnam. Today, Gaza is the world’s Gethsemane. We supply below economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche’s “In the Garden for Gethsemane,” composed by him in prison in the tradition of St. Thomas More’s The Sadness of Christ.Lyndon LaRouche: in the Garden of GethsemaneJanuary 17, 1990by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.“A prophet is not without honor,save in his own country."—Matthew 13:57Those of us who find ourselves in Gethsemane—a Gethsemane where we are told that we must take a role of leadership with our eye on Christ on the Cross— often experience something which, unfortunately, most people do not. We tend to look at things from a different standpoint. Before trying to situate how I see the recent period, and the period immediately before us, I should try to communicate what my viewpoint is, a viewpoint which I know is shared in some degree of very close approximation by everyone who has gone to Gethsemane with the view of the Cross in his eyes, saying, “He did it, I am now being told that I must, too, walk in His way.”What I suggest often, in trying to explain this to a person who has not experienced it, is to say: “Imagine a time 50 years after you’re dead. Imagine in that moment, 50 years ahead, that you can become conscious and look back at the entirety of your mortal life, from its beginning to its ending. And, rather than seeing that mortal life as a succession of experiences, you see it as a unity. Imagine facing the question respecting that mortal life, asking,”Was that life necessary in the total scheme of the universe and the existence of mankind, was it necessary that I be born in order to lead that life, the sum total of that number of years between birth and death? Did I do something, or did my living represent something, which was positively beneficial to present generations, and implicitly to future generations after me? If so, then I should have walked through that life with joy, knowing that every moment was precious to all mankind, because what I was doing by living was something that was needed by all mankind, something beneficial to all mankind."If I am wise, then 50 years after my death, in looking back at my mortal life, I know that from the beginning with my birth, to the end with my death, that my truest self-interest was the preservation and enhancement of that which made my having lived important to those around me and those who came after me.That is the beginning, I think, of true wisdom; that is the beginning of the Passion, which sometimes enables each of us when called to walk through our own peculiar kind of Gethsemane. It is from this standpoint, that the mind of an individual such as our own, can efficiently comprehend history in the large.A second point, which I often raise, I think is essential to understand the few simple observations I have to make here. It is that, in human reason, in the power, for example, to effect a valid, fundamental scientific discovery, which overturns, in large degree, previous scientific opinion, we see a fundamental distinction between man and all beasts. This power of creative reason, typified by the power to make a valid, fundamental scientific discovery, and also the power to transmit and to receive such a discovery, is that which sets man apart from and above the beasts.The emotion associated with that kind of human activity, whether in physical science, in the development of creative works or performance of creative works of classical culture or simply in the caring for a child to nurture that quality of potential for discovery in the child, is true love. Creative activity is human activity, and the emotion associated with that kind of activity, is true love.We start from that and say that society must be based on these considerations, that every human being, being apart from and above the animals, has the right and the obligation to live an important life. Every human being has the right to do something, such that if one looked back 50 years after the death of that person at his or her whole mortal life, one could have said, that life was necessary to all humanity. At the same time, one could distinguish some use of this creative power of reasoning as the activity which made that life important, simply, sometimes, the development of that creative power.We have, in the entirety of the approximately 2,500 years of Western European history, which includes the history of the Americas, two conflicting views of mankind. One view shares more or less the standpoint I’ve just identified: We view the human individual as bearing the divine spark of potential for reason, as a sacred life; a spark of reason which must be developed by society, nurtured by society, given opportunity for fruitful expression by society; a quality of activity whose good works must be adopted by society, protected by society, and preserved by society, for the benefit of present and future generations. That is the republic, the republic as conceived by Solon’s constitution of Athens—a notion of republic, which, in our time, is made nobler by the Christian understanding, which transforms and elevates the contributions of Solon and Socrates after him.On the other side, there is the conception of Sparta, a privileged oligarchy, brutalizing the Helots, the slaves, the so-called lower classes. That, too is a model society, not a republic, but an oligarchy.The struggle between these two views of mankind is epitomized by the struggle between President and General George Washington, on the one side, and King George III on the other. George Washington was a soldier and statesman of the republic, not a perfect one, but a good one. On the opposite side was poor King George III, the puppet of the evil Earl of Shelbourne, and the epitome of oligarchism, the heritage of Sparta. The tradition of King George III, which deems that some men must be kept slaves, is an oligarchical view, which hates the idea of the equality of the individual in respect to the individual human being’s possession of that divine spark, the individual human being’s right to the development of that spark, the nurture of its activity, and the defense and perpetuation of its good works.Such is the conflict. In our time, the great American Republic, by virtue of the cultivation of ignorance and concern with smallness of mind, and neglect of the importance of what comes after us in the living of our mortal lives, has been so undermined, degraded, and corrupted, that we as a nation no longer are the nation we were conceived to be, but instead have become a nation brain-drained in front of our television sets, thinking with greater passion about mere spectator sports or mere television soap-opera than we do about urgent events in real life. We are a nation seeking gratification in drugs, in sordid forms of sexual activity, in other sordid entertainments, in that kind of pleasure-seeking, which echoes the words Sodom and Gomorrah.And so, oligarchism, that which George III of England represented back in the eighteenth century, has taken over and rules the land which was once George Washington’s.What this leads to is this. Today, there is a great revolution around the world against tyranny in all forms. So far, this revolution has manifested itself within the communist sector against communist tyrannies. But it is coming here, too. Wherever the divine spark of reason is being crushed by oligarchical regimes, with all their cruelties, the divine spark of reason within human beings inspires them to arise, to throw off the tyranny—not out of anger and rage against tyranny, but because the divine spark of reason in each person must be affirmed. We seek not merely to be free from oligarchy; we seek to be free from oligarchy, because not to do so would be to betray the divine spark of reason in ourselves and in others.The secret of great revolutions, of great civil rights movements, as Dr. King’s example illustrates, is this capacity, which the Greek New Testament called agapē, which Latin called caritas, which the King James version of the Bible calls charity, which we otherwise known as love. Whenever this power of love, this recognition of that divine spark, setting us above the beasts, prevails, wherever people can approximate that view of the sum total of their lives, as if from 50 years after their deaths, whenever movements arise which, out of love, produce people who are willing, not fruitlessly, but for a purpose, to lay down their lives, so that their lives might have greater meaning, for this purpose—there you have the great revolutions of history.If we were to project events on the basis of what is taught in the schools about revolutions and other struggles of the past, then the human race at present were doomed. If we say that people struggle against this and that oppression, and so forth, and out of rage or whatnot, overthrow their cruel oppressor, we should lose; the human race would lose. However, if we touch the force of love, the spark of divine reason, we unleash a force, a creative force, a divine force, which is greater than any adversary, and we win. Those revolutions, which are based upon the appeal to this divine spark of reason within the individual, prevailed. Those which worked otherwise produced abominations, or simply failed.Yes, we must struggle against injustice. But it is not enough to struggle out of anger. We must struggle out of love. And that we learn best, who have had to walk as leaders of one degree or another, through our own Gethsemane, with the image of the Cross before us.That is the best I can say. I might say it better, but what I try to say with these poor words, is the best I can say summarily, on the subject of current history. I believe, that the great upsurge of humanity, implicit in the optimism I express, is now in progress. I am persuaded that we shall win, provided that each of us can find in ourselves, that which makes us the right arm of the Creator, a man, a woman of providence, within the limits of our own capacities and opportunities.Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.Dictated from prison,Rochester, MinnesotaJanuary 17, 1990
