Election Crisis 2000: The Fall of Ozymandias, Part 1
Speaking by video teleconference from Germany, former Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche addressed the second of three scheduled Washington, DC seminars being sponsored by Executive Intelligence Review to address the political crisis now enmiring the country. The December 12th proceedings were webcast live in English and Spanish on www.larouchepub.com to an international audience.
Mr. LaRouche called for the implementation of the established Constitutional procedures of the Electoral College, with the Congress following up, as the only viable direction available to be taken to get a new President. Mr. LaRouche singled out the philosophy of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, as a major threat to the U.S. Constitutional order. To follow Justice Scalia, he said, would be to turn an electoral crisis, into a Constitutional crisis.
Mr. LaRouche’s speech laid out the stark implications of such a
Supreme Court intrusion into the electoral process. Coming as it does, in the
midst of the worst financial crisis in centuries, Mr. LaRouche said, such a
political action sets up a situation for a "crisis-management"
government, imposing austerity and de facto dictatorship on this
Within hours of Mr. LaRouche’s warning, the U.S. Supreme Court unfortunately did follow Scalia’s policy direction, in a 5 to 4 ruling which fixed the election for George W. Bush.
The first seminar in the series, entitled "Now Comes the Aftermath," which took place on Nov. 14, is featured on The LaRouche Connection Program No. 483. The third seminar, entitled "Now The Incoming President: The Third But Not Final Report by Lyndon LaRouche on the Next Presidency," which took place on Jan. 3, 2001, will be the subject of future LaRouche Connection programs.

Save the Nation: Revive FDR-Kennedy Policies!
Speaking by video teleconference from Germany on Jan. 3rd to a packed audience in Washington, DC, and by conference-phone to a sizable group of diplomats in New York City, newly announced Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche challenged the American people: Either the base of the Democratic Party comes together to demand, and force through, a revival of the policies of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, under LaRouche’s leadership, or the nation will be destroyed very soon.
This edition of The LaRouche Connection features Mr. LaRouche’s
opening remarks to this the third of three scheduled
As Mr. LaRouche put it, "If the Bush team occupies the Presidency, and sticks to the policies which it has stated its firmly committed to, the United States will very soon be destroyed as a nation, not years down the line, but perhaps in a very short time."
The reason is the collapse of the huge financial bubble built by Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, which will bring about a global economic
breakdown crisis, since the
Mr. LaRouche concluded by stressing his personal qualifications to rally action around those policies, given that he is the world’s best economist, and that he has the leadership capability to pull together the constituency leaders, especially on the state level, and develop enough clout to force through the right policy as the crisis breaks over people’s heads, and nothing else is working.
The first seminar in the series, "Now Comes the Aftermath," which took place on Nov. 14, is featured on The LaRouche Connection Program 483. The second seminar, "Election Crisis 2000: The Fall of Ozymandias," which took place on Dec. 12, is featured on Programs 487 and 488.

Responding to Brazilian journalist Carlos Chagas, who asked about
George Bush’s statement that the poor and indebted countries of the world
must pay their debts with their forests, Mr. LaRouche answered, it was British
colonialism. The policy Bush reflects, is the resource grab, the stealing,
which is the same thing the British East India Company did in

When Rep. Erik Fleming, Mississippi House of Representatives, asked for an elaboration on the so-called Southern Strategy--its history, and how to defeat it, Mr. LaRouche began with a history of slavery in America from the inception of the country, coming up to 1966, with Richard Nixon’s strategy to defeat Lyndon Johnson; former DNC Chairman Don Fowlers anti-Negro writings; the Nashville Agrarians; U.S. State Dept. population policy; Global 2000; and Al Gores Earth in the Balance. The only way to defeat all this, is to have the guts to stand up and not compromise on these things, to have a sterling quality of moral leadership, to keep people from betraying themselves.
Two Congressional offices indicated they were under pressure not to pursue allegations of fraud, due to alleged considerations of international standing, and even "the markets." Mr. LaRouche responded with "First, our responsibility lies to the truth. The truth." He then called for the formation of a special Congressional Committee to investigate two issues which have been raised in the course of the Florida Presidential vote; and secondly, to look into whether the kind of ballot confusion, generated by the many types of ballot designs and methods used in Florida, is an impairment of the elections, and should it not be required that some standard of ballot, and voting be provided?

State Sen. Joe Neal (D-Nevada), chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus there, wanted to know how LaRouche could get African-Americans to buy into the 1933-1965 period, when civil rights were at their worst, especially in the South, during that timeframe? Mr. LaRouche answered with the fact of large numbers of African-Americans moving out of the Republican Party into the Democratic Party, and then discussed the necessity of developing passionate leaders today who care for every human being, referencing Martin Luther King, as an example of such a leader.

Beauty as a Necessary Condition for Mankind
On February 17-18, the Schiller Institute, an international policy
development organization, held its annual Presidents’ Day conference in
Founder Helga Zepp LaRouche’s stirring presentation about how mankind can build a renaissance out of the rubble-field of modern "culture," began with a description of today’s cult of ugliness, and the necessity for beauty, because this is the cultural question which must be answered for mankind to come out of its present crisis. Mrs. LaRouche located a major source of the problem we encounter today, in the attack by the Romantics on the German Weimar Classics, of which Friedrich Schiller is the highest representative.
In Schiller’s "Aesthetical Letters," for example, she said,
Schiller shows that the most perfect of all arts is the building of true
political freedom. It is the task of the individual to bring himself into
cohesion with the inner, God-given beauty, and beautiful art is the most
important medium for achieving that, for the perfection of
Today, a new Renaissance has to go back to Schiller, in order to counter the door to Hell which Kant opened with his attack on the cohesion of Truth, Beauty, and the Good, and which was furthered by the thesis of the irrational in art.
In True Classical art, the dark side of the soul exists, but, because Man is seen as greater than his destiny, it is demanded of him that he educate his emotions, not indulge in his problems.
Today, concluded Mrs. LaRouche, only a mass movement, in which people reject Romanticism in all its depraved forms, and embrace the coherence of Beauty, Truth, and Reason, can succeed.

Connection features a presentation from that panel, by EIR magazine’s director for Ibero-American Intelligence, Dennis Small, entitled “This
Little Piggy Went to Market.”
“We told you so!” With
these words, Mr. Small began his presentation, pointing out that we have
entered a new stage of the global financial crisis, which Lyndon LaRouche has
been warning everyone about for quite some time. “The new stage is not
simply the fact that the crisis is now hitting the United States with a
vengeance, but rather, that the process which has been under way globally, is
now so far gone, that it is beginning to manifest itself inside the United
States as well. Up until now, to a certain degree, the bubble in the
After providing great detail on
the actual state of production and consumption, and ridiculing mercilessly
academic economists, singling out for special attention Paul Samuelson, and
their wacky theories of supply and demand and indifference (!) curves, Mr.
Small then addressed the issue of why people fail to act on LaRouche’s
forecasts, despite the fact that they can be shown to have been totally
factually correct, particularly over the past year. The problem, he stressed,
is the failure of people to understand the role of mankind, and human reason,
in the universe, a universe which will bend to free will exercised according to
the laws of reason.
To underscore this point, Mr.
Small used Plato’s famous dialogue, the Timaeus, which, in discussing God’s creation of the universe,
notes that Reason makes Necessity (the material universe) adjust to its
dictates, rather than, as most people believe, “necessity being the
mother of invention.”
Mr. Small concluded by saying that
“God gave each of us a divine genius, that which, as they say, inhabits
the highest part of our body, in order to uplift us from the earth toward our
heavenly kinsmen, since we are an offshoot, not earthly, but heavenly. We are
not a virus; we are not a worm; we’re not a piggy. We are an offshoot
heavenly. And this is not a “market” out there. It’s an
economy. And for that reason, there is no reason whatsoever for this little
piggy to keep going to market. It’s time for a change.”

The Bush
Administration: The First 60 Days
Speaking from
Defining the President’s
first 60 days as “disastrous,” Mr. LaRouche proceeded to provide
the pathway by which Americans can raise themselves out of the slave-like
position they’ve been taking toward events, and move to embrace a policy
orientation that will bring this country, and the world, out of its current
crisis.
“What we have to
have,” said Mr. LaRouche, “is a sense of national mission; the idea
of the United States cooperating with Western Europe, with Eurasia as a whole,
to restart the world economy; the idea of taking that one, as a 25-year
long-term credit mission; rebuilding a new financial system, like the old
Bretton Woods system, to handle the kind of problem we faced in the immediate
postwar period—the same general kind of lesson. And then, getting a
science driver policy; to expand the scientific work in our universities, to
build the laboratories, to get the new projects, the new productive
technologies, and the new products, in place. And, to think about rebuilding
this world, to be able to tell our children, who come 25 years down the line:
‘What we’re going to do for you, is, we’re going to give you
a better world. And, that’s what we’re doing now.’”
Mr. LaRouche concluded with the
following challenge: “Let’s revive the American intellectual
tradition, in which our nation was founded, in cooperation with other nations
of the world. And, let the American citizen stop thinking of themselves as a
poor person; but instead, as a citizen, of a nation, which is rebuilding the
planet; and let him or her take pride in being a citizen of such a nation, with
such a commitment. If we can mobilize that, we can save this nation; we can
save this world, from one horrible mess. And, that is what I propose we ought
to do.”
From the discussion period, the
first question to Mr. LaRouche, read by moderator Debra Freeman, was from a Japanese journalist, who asked him to
comment on the real cause behind today’s market crisis, and what positive

The fight to preserve D.C. General as a full-service, fully funded public hospital, has reached a critical stage. Thanks to the activity of an informal coalition of clergy, hospital workers, political activists, and leaders of the LaRouche political movement, there has arisen a popular movement to resist the diktat of puppet accountant Mayor Anthony Williams, and his bosses in the D.C.

At an extraordinary town
meeting held April 18 at Union Temple Baptist Church, sponsored by the
Coalition to Save D.C. General Hospital, it became obvious that the drive to
save Washington’s only public hospital, has been transformed into a
full-fledged movement, based in the tradition of the civil rights movement of
Dr. Martin Luther King, and rooted in the principle of the General Welfare
clause of the U.S. Constitution.
As a result of several months of Coalition efforts, the duly elected City Council had voted unanimously on April 12 to fund the hospital and make it the center of the District’s health-care system in the impoverished, largely black, Southeast section of town, defying the scheme put together by Mayor Anthony Williams and the non-elected Control Board, which would have closed down the hospital by March and put health care into the hands of Doctors Community Healthcare Corporation, an outfit exposed by the Coalition as involved in organized crimes to loot and strip the assets and cash flow of the hospitals it has taken over.

In his presentation, Mr. LaRouche warns of the danger of the
fascist faction of the U.S. Republican Party, and that [President] “Bush

crisis in centuries is turning into a social crisis in the
Mankind has arrived at a turning-point of history, and we
are faced with a mental-case in the White house, put there on purpose, by the
financial oligarchy, under the worst conditions of human history, to carry out
methods of intimidation and terror, intentionally, to keep the oligarchy in
charge, while the system collapses. Bush, like Hitler, has the same policy of
terror to force the rest of the world to accept the oligarchy’s rule.
The remedy for the ongoing Bush administration-led plunge of
the entire planet into a global new dark age, said Mr. LaRouche, must be in the
form of a great ecumenical Eurasian development project, with Russia playing a
key role, as the pivot of an intended global economic and moral recovery of
society: A community of principle among nations for the common good of all. The
moral intention of this global policy, expressed by a Eurasia-centered
initiative, will give Eurasia the means to support justice for Africa in the
face of the genocide being perpetrated, intentionally, against all of
sub-Sahara
Taking into account the positive counterpoint of Pope John Paul II’s ongoing ecumenical mission, there exists no tolerable alternative to this policy, anywhere in the world. There exists no practicable, feasible alternative to this principled approach. Every alternative proposed form other locations, is either as evil as what is radiating from President Bush, et al., or are so foolish, as to amount to remedies with the same effect as the disease being addressed.

representatives from 40 nations from all 5 continents, including numerous
active and former diplomats, came together in Bad Schwalbach,
This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection, the second in a series from that conference, features Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp LaRouche’s presentation, entitled “Celebrating the 600th Birthday of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa Through a Dialogue of Cultures.” She spoke on May 6.
In presenting the crucial role of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa in developing the principles of the modern nation-state, and his concept of a dialogue of cultures, which led to the golden renaissance, Mrs. LaRouche further developed the ecumenical and scientific principles required to carry out the ambitious reconstruction plans which had been laid out, especially by her husband Lyndon LaRouche, in the earlier conference panels
“More than ever,” Mrs. Zepp LaRouche began, “we need to clarify the principles which should define the relations of the international community of peoples. The 13th and 14th centuries were an era of great change. It was the time of a big struggle between the forces who contributed to the emergence of the sovereign nation-state through fundamental changes in the world outlook, and those who wanted to go back to the imperial structures just like the forces of globalization, today.” Mrs. LaRouche then proceeded to outline in some detail, the forces and ideas that led to the emergence of the nation-state, and the community of nations based on international law, and how Cusa used the ideas of Plato to develop for the first time the idea of representative government, in which the individual would have the opportunity, and obligation, to speak out for the common good.
Mrs. Zepp LaRouche concluded with these words: “Today, the idea of a community of sovereign nation-states based on the common good, has become a life and death issue for our entire civilization. Let us celebrate Nicholas of Cusa’s 600th birthday by developing the same power of intellect, the same passion for great ideas. Let us be joyful about the cultural multitude and beauty, as being represented at this conference, because we are One, before we are many.”

As the world enters new depths of the Depression of 2001,
with a lunatic Bush Administration committed to preserving the bank accounts of
its greedy friends at all costs, there is an urgent need for a political
victory that will turn the tide back toward the principle of the General
Welfare embodied in the U.S. Constitution. Right now, the battle to save
The fight to preserve a full-service, fully funded public hospital in the nation’s capital, has reached a critical stage. Thanks to the activity of an informal coalition of clergy, hospital workers, political activists, and leaders of the LaRouche political movement, there has arisen a popular movement to resist the diktat of puppet accountant Mayor Anthony Williams, and his bosses in the D.C. Financial Control Board, the Congress, and Katie Graham’s Federal City Council. Support for the hospital has been pouring in from around the country and the world. A Congressional briefing was sponsored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), on March 22, to explore the matter’s national significance.
In this week’s program, taped April 16, Nancy Spannaus, editor-in-chief of the nationally-circulated newsweekly, The New Federalist, provides viewers the history of the effort to privatize the hospital, and ultimately tear the building down, as part of a genocidal “Negro removal” re-development plan, as well as the effort to save it.
