A Wedding Anniversary:
The Sixth Sense
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Birds which migrate, seasonally, as to North, or to South, have been struggling, wittingly, or not, to teach us humans an important lesson. The fact is, that there is a Sixth Sense, in the cosmic, electromagnetic domain per se. Birds use it; but, humans probably appeared on this planet later than birds like that. After all, notably, Helga did warn us to respect, and to protect our neighboring birds, as good Franciscans would do. Those birds do, after all, reduce the infestation of our lives with what Helga has classed, generically, as ``bugs.''

Preface: It was Percy Bysshe Shelley, most notably, who emphasized the importance of what amounts to, in effect, a ``Sixth'' human sense, as he did in the concluding paragraph of his A Defence of Poetry. Since migratory birds, in particular, usually regulate their seasonal flights according to an approximately north-south, magnetic-field orientation of those flights, we must confess, at the very least, that electromagnetic radiation plays an important role in our universe, the role of what might be named man's ``sixth sense,'' a quality of sense which is evaded by citizens' heretofore popular emphasis on particular forms of communication.

After all, the migratory birds do use cosmic radiation as an important category of communication. Why not we? Or, perhaps we do, sometimes, unwittingly? ...

—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

  • A Wedding Anniversary:
    The Sixth Sense
    by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

    Percy Bysshe Shelley, in the concluding paragraph of his A Defence of Poetry, emphasized the importance of what amounts to, in effect, a 'Sixth' human sense. Since migratory birds exhibit such 'extra' sensory perception, in their annual north-south flights, according to a magnetic-field orientation, we must acknowledge that electromagnetic radiation plays an important role in our universe. Might this not be recognized as man's 'sixth sense'? After all, LaRouche writes, the migratory birds do use cosmic radiation as an important category of communication. Why not we? Or, to put it another way: Why does human behavior react to certain ranges of cosmic radiation, as if such experience performed a function supplementing that of ordinary sense-perception? And: Why do most people today, nonetheless, not yet recognize this action itself as expressing a mode of individual sense-perception? From there, LaRouche addresses the question of human creativity, that unique quality which characterizes 'man in the image of the Creator,' the principle established in Genesis 1: 'not religion, but fact.'

  • U.S. States, Cities Blow Out;
    No Recourse but Glass-Steagall

    The 50 states and 90,000 other non-Federal government entities of the United States are now unable to maintain any pretense of functioning and paying up on financial claims, and are experiencing, instead, a process of disintegration of horrific proportions. Not just a financial crisis, but a physicaleconomic collapse—the lawful result of more than 40 years of a post-industrial decline, and the looting of living standards by the imperial monetarist system.
