It is as if we were awakening from a bad dream.  Suddenly, a vast majority of Americans is coming to the realization that our society and economy have been twisted into the complete opposite of our intentions.  Individually and originally, the strands which restrain us today were seen as relatively harmless slight tweaks of our society and economy.  Never forget how the British Empire has dominated the world—not by military might but by control of language, perception, and ideas (or lack thereof).  Always look beneath the terms and appearances:  What are the intentions of those who speak and act?  Over and over we see that patriots and imperialists may be using the same words, but with diametrically opposite intentions and consequences.

In Part 1 of this post, Bob Ingraham portrayed the unique leadership of George Washington, without which our Republic would not exist. In this second part, Ingraham further explores the conspiracy conducted against Washington by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and others.  The defeat of this conspiracy provides context for the insights concerning parties and faction set forth in Washington’s famous Farewell Address.

In 1968, the year Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, the Apollo 8 crew’s reading from the Book of Genesis provided a metaphor which overcame, if but briefly, that year’s awful tragedy and division.  The world watched in wonder as they viewed the earth rising above the Moon’s surface, after previously wondering whether the United States itself would survive. 

PART 1:

On February 22^nd, our nation will observe the 290^th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. In former and better times that birthday, as well as Abraham Lincoln’s, were rightfully celebrated as separate national holidays, days wherein we might contemplate the individual accomplishments of these two great leaders. To revive that tradition, and to provide a lesson which has great relevance to the crisis of today, we offer this short essay on the subject of leadership, in honor of the Father of our Nation.

Now that the negotiations between Russia and the United States concerning NATO expansion along Russia’s borders have completely collapsed, the world awaits what comes next and has every right to be very anxious. Washington is drunk on the Cold War and a messianic vision of its own power and might which, in reality, is like that of the Wizard of Oz once the curtain was pulled back.  There sat not an all-powerful wizard but a very old and worn man.  The U.S. has no answer, for example, to Russia’s recently commissioned hypersonics or its ability to maneuver quickly in a theatre in which it has had centuries of presence.

Aside from the false premise of the “Green New Deal,” which argues that man’s actions and economic activity are the cause of “global warming,” there is another economically suicidal aspect of so-called renewable energies such as wind and solar, which President Trump has recently identified.

Joe Biden gave a completely deranged speech on January 11 at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. He hyperbolically called the three-hour riot on January 6, 2021 an attempted coup by President Donald Trump which “held a dagger to the throat of democracy.” For those familiar with the classic play Arsenic and Old Lace, he reminded this writer of the mad Teddy Bridgewater, the uncle who lived in the basement and deluded himself that he was Teddy Roosevelt, yelling “charge” every time he ran up the stairs. The Mad Hatter may be a more accessible popular reference. Biden once against referred to Kamala Harris as President and repeated already disproven claims about being arrested while fighting for civil rights.

Beginning in 2002, Lyndon LaRouche conducted a relentless campaign, using his 2004 Democratic Presidential campaign as the vehicle, to expose Dick Cheney and the neo-cons in the Republican Party from which he sprang as, literally, modern-day Children of Satan.

The 2017 initiation by President Trump of the Artemis Project (which reflected Lyndon LaRouche’s 1988 proposal to build a city on Mars) created a vortex which is organizing both the national and world economy around a process of continuous and accelerating progress–”the pursuit of happiness.”
