Back in the good old days of 2,500 years ago, the Greeks blamed the gods for their self-induced disasters. In modern times the Brits were to blame, and then the Americans. Now it’s the Germans. We brag about inventing democracy – however selective – and also about inventing tragedy, but don’t dwell at all on another word we invented: demagoguery. Demagoguery is what brought Alexis Tsipras and his motley crew of corner-café pseudo-philosophers to power, and demagoguery continues to dominate Greek political discussions even today as we vote for or against the euro. But let’s not forget comedy, yet another … Continue reading

Gary Hart was a good senator, an independent person.  Consequently, he was eliminated with a sexual scandal.  The woman was a ten, and the powers that be got rid of Hart. Better to go that way than with an airplane crash or a frame-up that leads to prison like happened to US Rep. George Hanson and others including Dan Rostenkowski, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means. Rostenkowski was eliminated by the despicable Eric Holder, a US attorney at the time who rose to become Obama’s Attorney General, proving the point that in the US government only the … Continue reading

I have received several comments to my post Libertarians and Culture.  I have decided to address selected comments via this post. Robert Wenzel was gracious enough to publish my post at Target Liberty.  I will begin by addressing one of the comments from Wenzel’s site, regarding this paragraph of the original post: Every thriving – even surviving – society requires governance; not government as the term is currently understood, but governance.  The lowest level, closest to most voluntary, most decentralized level of societal governance, is the family. Destroy the moral foundations of family and you destroy society.  Of this there is … Continue reading

Politicians react to terrorism much as parents might respond when their lisping tiny offspring come home from sex-ed classes and ask them to explain what lesbians do. They panic. They have no idea what to say and they are terrified of committing themselves, rightly suspecting that their answers will be stored up and embarrassingly remembered years later. But they have to pretend to know. And so they talk drivel. I have watched this for years, with growing, grim amusement. But last week they outdid themselves, churning out gallons of swirling hogwash. The most ridiculous of all was (as usual) the … Continue reading

Global central banks are afraid. Before Greece tried to stand up to the Troika, they were merely worried. Now it’s clear that no matter what they tell themselves and the world about the necessity or even righteousness of their monetary policies, liquidity can still disappear in an instant. Or at least, that’s what they should be thinking. The Federal Reserve and US government led policy of injecting liquidity into the US and then into the worldwide financial system has resulted in the issuance of trillions of dollars of debt, recycling it through the largest private banks, and driving rates to … Continue reading

A comparison between Bitcoin and the Federal Reserve Bank to help you understand why Bitcoin is quickly becoming the cash of the future. “The greatest threat facing America today is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by

Despite a campaign of terror and blackmail against them, on Sunday, July 5, the Greek people voted by a margin of over 61% to less than 39%, not to submit to the tyrant Zeus’s power, not to willingly submit to genocidal austerity based upon an illegitimate debt imposed upon it fraudulently, as demanded by the British Empire. Their vote of “No” is a resounding “Yes” to a future, not just for Greeks, but for humanity, however uncertain that future may be at the moment.

As Lyndon LaRouche stressed upon hearing the results of the vote, this vote will not have consequences just for Greece. The vote has consequences for the world, and especially for the Trans-Atlantic region.

The question is, what is Obama going to do? This vote will have consequences for Obama, because he is a mere stooge of the British Empire and of Wall Street, both of which will be hit hard by the Greek vote.

In Germany, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble are in deep trouble. The German economy has been plunging down. Any sane German will come to one conclusion—dump Merkel and Schaeuble. From the standpoint of the German economy, no other sane conclusion exists. Germany is virtually the sole remaining producing nation in Europe. If Germany doesn’t want to commit suicide, it has no other alternative but to dump Merkel and Schaeuble now. They are not expenses Germany can continue to carry. The German economy is already in free-fall. How long will Germany survive under its current misleadership?

And for that matter, how long will the United States survive under Obama’s misleadership?

LaRouche stressed that we can expect sudden changes globally immediately ahead. There will be an instinct to punish Greece for not losing.

The changes will be global in nature, hitting primarily the TransAtlantic region. Be prepared for all Hell to break out. On July 7, The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) New Development Bank will be officially launched. On July 8-9, the BRICS nations will be meeting Ufa, Russia. Will the British Empire’s stooges attempt to force Greece out of the Eurozone? If so, will Greece join the BRICS? Or will an attempt be made to try to keep Greece in the Eurozone? Either way, the issue is not Greece per se. The issue is the bankruptcy of the Trans-Atlantic region as a whole. As LaRouche stressed, there is no single solution, but rather there is a set of complications. There will be a global effect. The real markets are not limited by any means to Europe. Financial activities are global in nature.

Therefore, the crisis has to be looked at not from the bottom up, but rather from the top down. To do so, you have to extract yourself from your local surroundings. We are facing a global crisis, not a local one. Even a write-down of the Greek debt alone would not solve the crisis.

As LaRouche has said, what is required is to reimpose Franklin Roosevelt’s Glass Steagall legislation in the United States and globally.

As LaRouche emphasized, absolutely nothing is fixed. Everything you count on could vanish in days. The whole world could be turned upside-down.

Therefore, the approach that must be taken is to go for the center of the action. Start from the galactic center. You must look at the planet as a whole, under galactic implications. You have to understand man’s existence from that standpoint. Processes which govern the galaxy determine everything. You must go from the whole to the particular, not from the particular to the whole. The galaxy has manifold considerations, which mankind thus far only appreciates to a limited degree.

The word from the mouth of Satan is “be practical,” when in fact what is actually needed is to be creative!

We know more and more of the dimensions of the problems to be solved. As we explore those dimensions, we become more qualified to correctly address the problems humanity is facing. To do this, you must develop yourselves to have sufficient competence to make decisions on a global scale.

This is the importance of classical music. The way you have to think at a moment of global crisis, such as we are now confronting, is from the standpoint of classical music. The classical musical principle is never located in the mere notes as such. It is a question of placement. The truly great classical composer places his identity, as Beethoven did, in a personal mission to improve the human condition, by elevating the human mind to be in harmony with the musical principle of the world, to be in concordance with the creative principle of the galaxy.
