On August 1, 2009, Lyndon LaRouche addressed the physical economic impacts of the last inflection point in the ongoing collapse of the post 1971 financial system, the 2008-2009 depression. His solutions to that depression were not adopted then. Now, we face a far worse potential worldwide. To solve it, you have to be in the right phase space--your physical economic productivity and technological progress must leap ahead. Standing still, or worse, going backwards with Biden and the Queen, ensures that many will die.

In 1989, Lyndon LaRouche campaigned for Congress from prison.  He had been put there by George H.W. Bush on behalf of the British oligarchy who demanded LaRouche's head. He wrote a pamphlet for his campaign entitled the Great Crisis of 1989-1992. In it, he explained his devotion to the American Revolution and its roots in the great golden European Renaissance. We found this excerpt from that pamphlet particularly resonant with the crisis this nation faces today and commend it to you.

On March 3, 1988, Lyndon LaRouche stunned the United States and the world, when as a Democratic Presidential candidate, he proposed the colonization of Mars as the means to bust out of the economic collapse of the United States, shift its decadent culture, and provide the legitimate basis for cooperation between sovereign nation states on earth. This is the 30 minute presentation from that campaign which was broadcast nationally on March 3, 1988.

In a pamphlet written for his 1980 campaign, “Creating a Republican Labor Party,” Lyndon LaRouche delineated the nature of citizenship in a republic. Despite the claims of the current White House, that we are a democracy, our founders found that idea repellant.

We find LaRouche’s definition very timely for today:

On November 11, 2009, Lyndon LaRouche discussed the road out of the 2007-2008 world-wide economic collapse. That road was not taken and the United States' economy continued to be further looted by Wall Street and City of London predators, its population assigned to gig jobs, inundated by drugs, and a culture of despair. Donald Trump was elected to arrest this. He was attacked relentlessly for attempting vast economic change and an end to imperial wars. His re-election was blocked by Wall Street, London, and other elements of the modern British Empire.

Lyndon LaRouche gave a speech at Central Connecticut University on May 4, 2009. He said it was urgent to stop the killing in the Middle East but the fundamental conflict could never be solved unless the modern British Empire, playing the region, was destroyed. Installing the American (republican) tradition and its associated economics of development and destroying the parasitical oligarchic system is the key to peace.

In preparation for our live Zoom webcast this Thursday (April 8), we're featuring Lyndon LaRouche's 2011 demolition of populist conceptions of make-work infrastructure programs, and his revolutionary notion of economic platforms of development. Simply attacking Biden's boondoggle "jobs' plan and complaining about big government will not make America a manufacturing super power again, we need to think big, with big projects, and a conception of the future we must create. 

38 years ago today, President Ronald Reagan shocked the U.S., European, and Soviet establishments by announcing a policy Lyndon LaRouche had been developing and promoting for years, a crash program to develop beam defense systems capable of defeating nuclear missiles—what Reagan called the Strategic Defense Initiative. In later years, LaRouche, Russian leaders and others proposed that the same technologies could be used to defend our planet from asteroids and other objects, calling it the Strategic Defense of Earth. That mission, coupled with the economic spin-offs flowing from such scientific and technological breakthroughs, makes this policy just as important today, as it was in 1983.

As Lyndon LaRouche stated,

“The formalities of the science of physical economy may be described as centered upon refining and scaling the following set of inequalities.
