Ian Overton and Michael Steger discuss Ian’s recent article, Are Unvaccinated Lives Unworthy of Life?  Beyond stating the obvious about the sanctity of all human lives, they introduce deeper questions about what that means and how to defend the lives of all people against tyrannical overreach by a corporatist government.

53 years ago, a message of love and peace was relayed to earth as the crew of Apollo 8 read from the book of Genesis as they orbited the moon. Billions of people from around the world heard their message of joy on that Christmas Eve. That successful trip of Americans to orbit the Moon for the first time, did not come without hardship and sacrifice. Apollo 8 launched in a year that started with great losses and trying times for our nation and for many around the world. We witnessed the tragic assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Sen. Bobby Kennedy. There was a great racial divide across the country, and the nation was in the midst of war in Vietnam. The year prior to the launch of Apollo 8, a ravaging fire took the lives of three astronauts of Apollo 1 inside a capsule atop the launch pad.

In this short chapter from a pamphlet published by Lyndon LaRouche's National Democratic Policy Committee in 1980 "Why Credit Can Be Greatly Expanded Without Adding to Inflation," Lyndon LaRouche explains why credit, for projects which raise the productive powers of labor, like capital intensive infrastructure projects and funded experiments at the frontiers of science, like the Apollo space program, pay for themselves by transforming the productive potential of the entire economy. They are inherently not inflationary.

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk dropped a bombshell, when he addressed what he saw as the biggest challenge to mankind's future: "And the foundation of the economy is labor. Capital equipment is essentially distilled labor...The fundamental constraint is labor. There are not enough people. I can’t emphasize this enough: there are NOT enough people. And I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate, and the rapidly declining birth rate. And yet so many people–including smart people–think that there are too many people in the world, and think that the population is growing out of control. It’s completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers. If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble."

By pulling America out of the Paris Climate Accord, President Trump ripped a giant hole in the British deindustrialization/depopulation plan—an opening later pursued by the other leading nations of the world in refusing to submit to the proposed new Royal suicide pact at the recent Glasgow Climate Conference.  Beyond that, President Trump redoubled efforts to return America to the status of number one energy producer in the world.

Tonight, the third and final class of this series will show that the twin policies of “monetarism” and “globalization,” which are destroying the very ability of nations to survive, are the outcome of the “information theory” which Lyndon LaRouche conceptually-destroyed over six decades ago. Policies based on “linear feedback loops,” green ideology, and, more recently, COVID mandate shutdowns, have brought us to the point of hyperinflation and economic breakdown.

The population chart covers the last 1000 years. Focus on the point around 1400 AD, at the end of the Middle Ages. You can see in the small pop-out box that this is the end of the Black Death. It is also the lowest point of population level over the last 600 years. This means that during the past six centuries, in what is known as the modern era, we have seen the greatest change in the sustained rate of population growth in human history! 

It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it started, but we are now at a point where the threat posed is undeniable to any rational person: those treating COVID-19 as an unending apocalypse, worthy of stripping away all personal freedoms in the name of security and safety by emergency decree, have embraced the same subtle shift in thinking that Dr. Leo Alexander warned about in his 1946 article, Medical Science Under Dictatorship, written following the Nuremberg Trial of the Nazi medical doctors. This move to totalitarianism also draws upon the playbook Lord Bertrand Russell described in his 1951 book, The Impact of Science on Society. Russell proposed the use of mass psychology to institute a “scientific dictatorship” that places the state between children and their families, first exemplified in the imposition of gender and race ideologies in the schools, and now, in implementing child vaccine mandates.

Maybe they think hyperventilating is a further protection against COVID, since apparently three shots and two masks aren’t enough. In recent days, the enemy has waxed even more hysterical than usual over the growth and consolidation of Donald Trump’s movement.
