By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Whenever Joe Biden or one of his Merry Hucksters speaks these days, it is bound to be a lie and Tuesday’s press offensive on gas prices was a real whopper. Feeling the wrath of citizens suffering the inflation that has dramatically increased the costs of food, housing and transportation, Biden’s collective pea brains have decided to try and mollify the population by announcing a plan to release oil from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve which the Biden claims will reduce gas prices a little, “God willing.” In reality, the release, some 50 million barrels, represents about 2.5 days of U.S. oil consumption. The Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, didn’t even know this simple fact when queried about it by the press. 

Part 4 — Hayek and Keynes: Two Peas in a Pod

“Come One. Come All. It’s the ‘Thrilla in Manilla’. It’s the great Ali vs. Frazier rivalry. Get your tickets today!”

This is how the imaginary rivalry between Friedrich Hayek and John Maynard Keynes has been popularized,—sort of as a Battle of the Titans, only now in the economic arena. But unlike the real Ali and Frazier, who bloodied each other unmercifully, this is a delusory myth designed for the credulous. The only blood that will be spilt will come from the victims of British imperial economics.

On Sunday, November 21st, a red Ford Explorer plowed at a high rate of speed through the Christmas Parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The attacker came from behind, so the parade participants did not even have a chance to react. Five parade participants died almost instantly, four right there in the street. As of this writing, 10 children are in Childrens' Wisconsin Hospital ICU, 6 in critical condition. Despite the attacker being almost immediately taken into custody, he was only referred to as a “person of interest” throughout the evening and early hours of this morning. As detailed below, small wonder why. In the San Francisco Bay area, over the weekend, three flash mobs conducted their Christmas shopping by totally looting, in broad daylight, high end luxury stores. Meantime, in that old consistent dependable, 9 people were murdered in weekend violence in Chicago with another 47 wounded.

Part 3 — Hayek’s Constitution of Liberty:  The Worship of Oligarchical Culture

In this installment of the Hillsdale/Hayek series, my intention was to report on Hayek’s magnum opus, The Constitution of Liberty. I must begin, however, by claiming that I, Robert Ingraham, deserve some form of literary Purple Heart for having subjected myself to such a mind-damaging experience. The book is excruciatingly boring, shallow, and repetitive beyond belief. Written fifteen years after the Road to Serfdom, the Constitution contains nothing new whatsoever; only the same catchphrases and slogans, but now drawn out to an interminable 571 pages.

“Those bloody Damn Americans do not know their place!”

Damn right! We are stubbornly optimistic and refuse to be chained to the deck of a sinking ship. America is built and will continue to be built on revolutionary improvements of many types. From John Winthrop the Younger’s 1640s organization of New England iron production using the most advanced technologies of the time, onward through the building of canals, railroads, electrification, water purification, flight, and spaceflight and so on, our lives have been pulled radically upward via deliberate, intentional leapfrogging to higher platforms of development. As we lay out in the third point of the LaRouche PAC Resolution to Re-Americanize the Economy, by pushing the frontiers of science and technology, led by fusion and space technologies, our creative (especially young) people are about to lift us up to the fantastic new level forecast by Lyndon LaRouche. Let’s delve into this.

Kyle Rittenhouse, defamed as a white supremacist and a vigilante by the President of the United States, was found not guilty on all five counts of the indictment against him stemming from the riots which occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August of 2020. The jury, not sequestered, followed and photographed by the news media, and threatened on social media, demonstrated the serene courage involved in following principle, not the fear engendered by the mob and the current mainstream media. Some years from now, if our Republic continues to survive, we will reward this act of courage by these 12 men and women who have righted our ship of state, at least temporarily. Some years from now, if we continue to fight, we will recognize this moment as a turning point. It is a moment of recognition, like the recognition of the tattered but still flying flag over Ft. McHenry in the war of 1812 which is the subject of the Star Spangled Banner.

In the recently passed $1.2 trillion U.S. Infrastructure and Innovation Jobs Act, a most insane idea is being funded to the tune of $10 billion. That funds development of an unproven technology which takes an essential element of life, CO2, out of the atmosphere and stores it at huge expense. This is so flat out crazy that one is reminded of Jonathan Swift’s account of Gulliver’s travels to the grand academy of Legado in Balnibarbi, where sunbeams are collected from cucumbers and stored in vials. Driven by the insane “net zero” CO2 emissions by 2050 effort with increasing penalties being imposed on all economic activity involving CO2 emissions, “carbon capture” has become the means by which fossil fuel companies can continue to function and through which an entire new financial swindle can mint millionaires based on the massive amounts of government and corporate funding devoted to it. Obviously, physically, nothing is produced. In fact, this insanity will take thousands of acres of fertile farmland out of production.

Part 2 — The Road to Serfdom:  Hayek—the Imperial Sophist

The first thing to understand about the “Austrian School” is that it doesn’t exist. What Hayek, von Mises and others put forward is not Austrian at all; it is imperial British Economics, specifically the economics of the 19^th century British Empire.
