Why We Must Ally with the BRICS:
America's 50-Year Economic Nightmare Since Kennedy
by Paul Gallagher
The great projects of the BRICS countries today—girdling six continents with high-speed railroads, mining the Moon, and breaking through to thermonuclear fusion power by 2030—are precisely the kind of ``missions'' with which John F. Kennedy challenged and led Americans during his brief Presidency. Add the task of defending the Earth from asteroid and great meteorite strikes, and the combined mission would have been big enough for JFK. Lyndon LaRouche has long insisted that there has been no real growth in the United States economy, but rather an outright decline, since Kennedy was assassinated a half-century ago. Today LaRouche's point is frequently documented retrospectively from one standpoint: that of real wages, household incomes, living standards of most Americans; they are lower than they were in the early 1970s. From the World War II generation, the direction has been successively downward for the majorities of the three generations of Americans since. While others have reported this, LaRouche publicly forecast it in the years after Kennedy's death. This was the first of the extraordinarily prescient long-term economic forecasts LaRouche has made, and which have made him so respected—and feared—by Wall Street and the City of London. In published writings in the late 1960s, LaRouche had forecast that the 1960s' successive crises of the British pound sterling were being steered toward the forced breakup of the Bretton Woods fixed-exchange-rate system ``at about the end of the 1960s decade.''...

This Week's Cover

  • Why We Must Ally with the BRICS:
    America's 50-Year Economic Nightmare Since Kennedy
    The great projects of the BRICS countries today—girdling six continents with high-speed railroads, mining the Moon, and breaking through to thermonuclear fusion power by 2030—are precisely the kind of 'missions' with which John F. Kennedy challenged and led Americans during his brief Presidency. Add the task of defending the Earth from asteroid and great meteorite strikes, and the combined mission would have been big enough for JFK. The downward spiral of the U.S. economy since then was accurately and publicly forecast by Lyndon LaRouche in the years following Kennedy's death. Since then, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have promoted the emergence of the new development banks and 'Eurasian Land-Bridge' development corridors of the BRICS countries, while London and Wall Street have taken the U.S. and Europe on a suicidal course.

Economics

  • Zepp-LaRouche Brings BRICS to U.S. Doorstep
    Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed more than 100 people, most of them youth, gathered in Mexico City Jan. 20 for a seminar titled 'A Life or Death Choice Between Two Systems: The BRICS and the Scientific-Economic Revolution that Will Change the World.' Zepp-LaRouche told the audience that the revolution centered on China's New Silk Road initiative and the BRICS nations' fight for development, is grounds for optimism for Mexico, and for humanity as a whole.

  • 'The Manhattan Project':
    Lifting Up Americans to a National Vision Once Again
    The New York-New Jersey chapter of the Schiller Institute convened 175 people for a conference entitled 'Seize the Opportunity—End America's Blindness, Restore Its Vision,' on Nov. 22 at New York City's All Souls Church. The conference was dedicated to President John F. Kennedy on the anniversary of his death, and to the victims and families of 9/11.

Science

  • Science for a New Paradigm:
    Time for a Solar Noösphere
    Based on Vernadsky's thesis concerning the variable space-time characteristics of living matter, the LaRouche Science Team formed an hypothesis about a relative space-time of living organisms, writes Benjamin Deniston. In this report, the relativistic domain of animal time with the qualitatively different, self-determined time created by mankind is compared. Mankind is not, and cannot be measured by, nor confined in, animal time, but increasingly occupies and creates new domains of time in the very short and the very long.
