A World in Transition
Feb. 8—The enormous instabilities of regional wars and economic collapse are moving into a new phase. Given the now-Epstein-exposed depravity of the Western elites, it would not only be foolish but also criminally negligent to trust them to resolve these crises in a manner that is beneficial to the human race. Take, for example, the satanically delusional quality of the so-called National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), under the direction of the Epstein-linked former British PM Tony Blair and Presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, and others—Kushner, who said at Davos that Gaza will be rebuilt into a series of resort cities within 3 years and that 2 million Palestinians will happily reside there.
We see it also with President Trump’s State Department blowing off both the end of New START, and President Putin’s reasonable proposal for an extension to allow time for a new agreement, with Trump yesterday posting on Truth Social that he is working on a new comprehensive plan to “last long into the future.” As former weapons inspector Scott Ritter pointed out at the Sare for President press conference on this topic on Feb. 5, President Putin believes that Trump has betrayed him. Does anyone in Trump’s cabinet understand why that is not a good thing?
Similarly, the negotiations about negotiations with Iran have a rocky road ahead, as few involved from the U.S. side appear to be interested in respectful diplomacy but merely in bludgeoning that large Silk Road nation into subservience, which the Iranian people will not tolerate.
Americans, and Europeans, in a slightly different way, are confused and distraught, making them ripe for brainwashing, as was studied by the evil Bertrand “how-much-would-it-cost-per-pupil-to-make-them-believe-snow-is-black” Russell. So we see formerly sane supporters of Lyndon LaRouche, who became scared and jumped ship after he passed away in 2019, are now trying to explain why “America really needs Greenland” and asserting that the illegal kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was a legitimate action that dealt an enormous blow to the British Empire.
Calm down, and think , as my science teacher sternly told us in 7th grade.
What is the underlying principle which must be upheld and guide our actions for the next 50, 100, 250, or 1,000 years? Lyndon LaRouche said it this way, much to the dismay of grammarians everywhere: “Mankind is not an animal!”
The human species is the only form of life on this planet that can transform itself, at will. We are the only species that has transformed our physical means of existence over generations through the use of fire, making it possible for more and more of us to exist with a higher standard of living; but this standard of living is not to be measured merely in terms of physical comfort, or even life expectancy. The question is, what are we doing to increase the rate of progress? What are we doing to make it possible for more and more children to grow up to become geniuses, generating an increasing number of discoveries that fuel our growth and progress?
If we start from this standpoint, as Schiller Institute chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche has identified in the tenth of her Ten Principles—the principle of the self-perfection of man—it is easy to know which policies will advance that goal and which will hinder it. Allowing children to live in squalor, without food, water, or electricity, or under fire from tanks and bombs, or preyed upon by perverted billionaires, will not allow mankind to survive and prosper into the future. That should be obvious to anyone who wishes to think about it.
Conversely, a bold mission to unlock the secrets of the universe (which will be a never-ending pursuit) inspires the imagination and poses certain real physical challenges to the limitations of current scientific knowledge. Embarking on such a mission will also require addressing the conditions in which too many human beings find themselves here on Earth. We will discover that to build the infrastructure required and make the discoveries at ever-increasing rates, there will be no human being who can be thrown on the scrapheap as a “useless eater.” Every human being has a talent to develop, and the purpose of the American Declaration of Independence was to protect the freedom to do that.
