With an $18 trillion debt and $97 trillion or so in unfunded liabilities, Uncle Sam is anything but flush with money. So Congress and President Obama are looking for ways to stem the flow of red ink. And your retirement or pension plan is square in their sights. No, Congress isn’t going to confiscate your IRA or 401(k) retirement plan, although there are lots of people marketing various products and services that want you to believe that. Sensationalism sells, after all. But as I discussed in this essay, confiscation isn’t politically feasible. Look at the numbers. More than 60 million … Continue reading

As much as we like to think we’re so much more advanced than people in the Middle Ages, we’re actually not too different. We still listen to demagogues and use dangerous cosmetics and drink too much. We’re still superstitious and paranoid and xenophobic. We’re still really into dragons. Bear that in mind while reading these extracts from medieval advice texts, books of conduct, and manuals. Some kind of make sense, some are timeless, and some are exactly the kind of thing that we make fun of the Middle Ages for. Just don’t forget that our generation invented an app that … Continue reading

The growing number of secession movements around the world gives rise to our topic: breaking away from current government structures that do so much harm to liberty, peace, and prosperity.

It took two decades for Russia and China to understand that “pro-democracy” and “human rights” organizations operating within their countries were subversive organizations funded by the US Department of State and a collection of private American foundations organized by Washington. The real purpose of these non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is to advance Washington’s hegemony by destabilizing the two countries capable of resisting US hegemony. Washington’s Fifth Columns pulled off “color revolutions” in former Russian provinces, such as Georgia, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin and Ukraine, a Russian province for centuries. When Putin was last elected, Washington was able to use its … Continue reading

Two elementary school students from Kentucky were traumatized after a deputy sheriff handcuffed the kids for behavior associated with their learning disabilities, a lawsuit filed on Monday claims. The suit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union working with the Children’s Law Center and legal firm Dinsmore and Shohl, names school resource officer and Kenton County Deputy Sheriff Kevin Sumner and Kenton County Sheriff Chuck Korzenborn.  It claims that Sumner was inadequately trained and that the department violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The two children, an 8-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, were so little that Sumner had to lock the handcuffs around their … Continue reading

‘A humanitarian organization has warned that the health system in war-stricken Yemen is close to collapsing under Saudi raids. Thierry Goffeau, the coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders in Yemen’s southern city of Aden, issued the warning on Tuesday after a 10-week mission to Yemen. “The population is faced with food […]

Simple categorical descriptions or admonitions about the rapidly escalating danger of thermonuclear World War III, don’t mean much at this point, Lyndon LaRouche stated today. We need to develop concrete, specific handles to address the situation. We are dealing with a complex problem that cannot be handled with any linear approach. There is nothing simple or predictable in the current strategic process, and there is no model that can be set forth which is reliable. Any number of flashpoints could set off a global conflagration, and sometimes things happen even by oversight.

So if you are serious about stopping global thermonuclear war, LaRouche said, there is a high premium on thinking.

One important element is to keep key U.S. Congressional elements active, especially during the dangerous recess period of August, to provide a check and balance on President Obama’s insane war drive. One example—but only one—of Obama’s lunacy is the last week’s escalation by the administration into direct U.S. military involvement—unconstitutionally, with no prior authorization by Congress—in yet another war in the Middle East, this time in Syria. The witches’ brew created among Turkey, Syria, the United States, and other forces acting in the region is so explosive, it could only have been concocted in the kitchens of the British Arab Bureau, to manipulate everyone involved into spreading chaos and warfare.

Another example of Obama’s impeachable insanity is his announcement on Aug. 3 of his ultra-green climate change plan, which strictly follows the script handed to him by the British Empire’s genocidalists, grouped around that lifelong Nazi, Prince Philip. “Obama is acting like an idiot; he’s lost his marbles; he’s clinically insane,” Lyndon LaRouche commented. “These reports show that he is both scientifically incompetent and clinically insane, and he should just be gotten out of the White House immediately.”

Thursday, August 6 is a good day to make the beginning of the end of the British Empire and its drive for thermonuclear war, not only because it is the 70th anniversary of the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, but moreover because it celebrates the opening of the New Suez Canal. That great development project is exemplary of the kind of new world economic order which the BRICS and allies are bringing into existence, and which will help put the era of British imperial speculation and looting out of business… permanently.

On what basis can music be judged to be “good”? Should it be trying to achieve a goal, and does it change with the times? Also, are there actually bad scientists, or only people who didn’t know as much as those who came after? Wasn’t it good that Descartes’s errors encouraged Leibniz’s discoveries? And what’s new with Pluto?
