LaRouche to Berliner Salon:
The Role of the Sublime in World Politics Today

On Dec. 18, 2003, American Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche addressed the Berliner Salon, a cross-section of leading political and cultural figures of the German capital, in a several-hour presentation and discussion session.

LaRouche: I shall situate the period ahead, the next year or two, in terms of the two crises which we face today. I shall indicate a few terrible things which are happening, but I shall also focus primarily on the Sublime. For we look in any crisis, especially a world crisis, for the way out of the crisis, and that is the Sublime. When one sees the way out of the crisis, then one applies that vision to the crisis itself, to determine what resources we have to overcome it. Under those circumstances, I can say that I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of humanity.

I'll begin with identifying the two great crises which affect humanity.

One, we are faced with the launching of a kind of war, which, unless stopped very soon, will engulf the entire planet, in an impossible type of asymmetric nuclear-armed warfare. At this time, of course, the center of that war impulse is coming from within the United States. It's coming out of a doctrine of preventive nuclear-armed warfare, associated with the Vice-President of the United States, Dick Cheney. Every part of the world that is informed, is anticipating this kind of warfare, this problem.

Economics:

Depression Collapses Purchasing Power by 50%
by Richard Freeman
Since 1963, the purchasing power of an American worker's average weekly paycheck—measured in physical terms, by a household market basket of goods essential for human existence —has plunged by a staggering 50%. This collapse in purchasing power was caused by, and confirms the force of the physical-economic depression that has overwhelmed the United States for the past several decades. EIR was able to discover the sharp drop in purchasing power by returning to the method of physical economy, as developed by Gottfried Leibniz and Lyndon LaRouche, rejecting the lies of U.S. government agencies, which, through a blizzard of counterfeit data and concepts, try to portray living standards and the economy as doing well.

European Culture As a Factor Of Intercivilizational Dialogue
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche, chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, gave this speech to the Rhodes conference on Sept. 4.
Can any thoughtful person today, have the slightest doubt that humanity is facing the greatest threat to its existence in its entire history? Today's global financial system is in its end- phase of collapse, due to its own systemic flaws, the result of the neo-liberal paradigm shift which began about 40 years ago in the Group of Seven nations, and somewhat later in the former Comecon nations, following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
