A New Cultural Platform The Highest Conceptions of Man and Nature

By Dennis Speed

Can a meaningful section of the United States population be inspired to adopt a new way of seeing, thinking and acting to-ward Russia, China and other nations that are now poised to enact the greatest sci-entific and material upshift in mankind’s history? Can the new Presidency that takes office in less than a month be caused to take meaningful action in that direction? If that can be done, it will have to be done in New York City, the “City of Hamilton.”

This is the mission, in the next weeks, of the Manhattan Project designed by econo-mist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. To accomplish this, the Project calls on the ideas and example of poet Friedrich Schil-ler, and Presidents Franklin Delano Roo-sevelt and John F. Kennedy, whose 100th birthday will be celebrated this May. Roo-sevelt’s 1933 Inaugural “national mobiliza-tion against fear” put millions to work in the first 100 days and established a partner-ship with the “Forgotten Man.” Now, with a physical economy in far worse shape than in 1933, and no real prospect for a better future for youth, Martin Luther King’s ad-monition that “with this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope” rings as true as it did on August 28, 1963. The new Presidency must strive for a new solidarity of our nation, and for partnership with Russia, China, India and others to achieve that purpose. But is it—and are we—qualified, or even inclined to do this?

There have been signs that a constituency for this, for what Larouche has termed “pol-itics as art,” exists in embryo in New York City. The 700-plus people that gathered at St. Joseph’s Co-Cathedral on December 17 for the “Holiday Unity Concert,” sponsored by the Foundation for the Revival of Clas-sical Culture, responded both to the idea, as well as the execution of this latest in a series of “experiments with truth,” a series of concerts which is being conducted by the Manhattan Project. Another concert is now being organized for January 15, King’s ac-tual birthday. It’s theme is “The Strength To Love,” the title of one of King’s books.

Helga LaRouche, founder and head of the Schiller Institute, in a presentation made the afternoon prior to the evening musical per-formance by the Schiller Institute New York Community Chorus and the New England Symphonic Ensemble, stressed the strategic and moral necessity of such events. “I think we have to introduce a completely different level of thinking into the political process; which is why the performance of the Messi-ah and a long series of other concerts is so important.”

It is little appreciated that almost every

writer, painter, playwright and poet in the United States in the post World War II pe-riod, from 1947 until the mid-1960s, was financed, often unknowingly, by a British intelligence and “CIA” outfit called the Con-gress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). Classical culture, particularly as that was or might be associated with Germany, was to be re-placed with “home-grown, authentic, dem-ocratic American popular culture,” much of it created by intelligence agencies or their employees like Jackson Pollock, Sidney Hook, or media-promoted pseudo-persons like Timothy Leary of 1960s LSD fame. The children of persons involved with or em-ployed by the intelligence services of the U.S. Army and Navy, including persons employed at facilities like Ft. Dettrick were used as guinea pigs in these experiments in the 1950s, 60s and 70s as is documented in various locations.

From its first intervention at the Wal-dorf Astoria Hotel in 1949, at a time when Bertrand Russell and others were actively considering dropping nuclear bombs on Russia, the Congress for Cultural Freedom hovered around New York City, the in-tellectual capital of the United States. The McCarthyism of the 1950s drove the sons and daughters of both those persecuted, and those intimidated by the persecution, into the ranks of what would somewhat lat-er be given the name of “counter-culture,” later to be known as the “rock-drug-sex counterculture.” The forms of so-called mu-sical practice and tastes which are said to predominate in present-day America, are largely a product of those earlier actions by the CCF.

Zepp-LaRouche clinically diagnosed this pathology, but from the higher standpoint of a solution-con-cept. “We have discussed this many times, but let me say it again. Why is Classical art and Classical music in particular so absolutely cru-cial if mankind is supposed to get out of this crisis? The problem is—and I think that most of you agree with me—that for many years, more than 50 years since the assassi-nation of John F. Kennedy and the

cover-up of his murder, the paradigm of the Western world and especially the United States has really led to an incredible brutal-ization of the population. Many people are still not happy about the future…

“Now, how do people get out of this? How do we get people to be their more noble selves? How do you get people to be more elevated than just saying, ‘Let’s hope Trump will stick it to them’? (Or, it must be add-ed, to be more rational than the emotion-ally unstable supporters of Obama puppet and subordinate, Hillary Clinton? ) Because there is still an emotion of anger, frustra-tion and so forth. The problem is, and we have discussed this in these meetings many times, that the oligarchy rules over society by reducing people to beings of just feel-ings, emotions; and they are very good at manipulating these emotions. That people are angry; that people are depressed; that people have rage; that people have joy in decadent pleasures. All these (feelings) are tools of the oligarchy. When man is on that level, he is not truly human…

“Now what great Classical art does is, it shows a way how people can first of all learn to understand real principles; those princi-ples which are behind the sensuous appear-ance. And they can learn how to become truly free.”

A new cultural platform, capable of ad-vancing and sustaining the highest con-ceptions of man and nature, must be im-mediately built as the underpinning for a new form of intellectual practice in the American republic. This is not something that the incoming Trump administration, nor, certainly, could the outgoing Obama non-administration, provide. This very quality, however, of intellectual insight, as practiced for example by Albert Einstein, is the only sure road to durable survival past the immediate threat of thermonucle-ar war. Einstein, a violinist who loved the music of Mozart and Bach, did his most creative thinking while playing the violin. That is the “cultural platform” and standard that Americans must be inspired to accept, assimilate, and reproduce, and it must be done now, if America, and perhaps the hu-man race itself, is to survive.

Take Action Now!Enact Glass-Steagall and LaRouche’s Four Laws

Lyndon LaRouche has put forth the mea-sures for immediate priority action to be taken in the United States by the incom-ing President Trump and Congress. As LaRouche stated at the opening of his four laws, the measures presented are “not an option, but an immediate necessity.”

“The economy of the United States of America, and also that of the trans-Atlan-tic political-economic regions of the plan-et, are, now, under the immediate, mortal danger of a general, physical-economic, chain-reaction breakdown crisis of that re-gion of this planet as a whole,” he declared.

Glass-Steagall’s reinstatement as the first of the four measures Lyndon LaRouche issued in June of 2014 will put the United States and the trans-Atlantic System back on the track to a much-needed physical

economic recovery. These Four Cardinal Laws (larouchepac.com/four-laws) start with Glass-Steagall, together with a re-turn to Hamiltonian National Banking as a means of extending credit into the real economy, and spearheaded by sci-ence-drivers in fusion energy development and a restoration of NASA and the explo-ration of space.

The LaRouche Political Action Com-mittee is launching an all-out offensive in the mobilization for the enactment of Glass-Steagall into law as the cutting edge of consolidating this New Global Paradigm for the New Year. This means Glass-Steagall should be on President Trump’s desk by the day of his inauguration, January 20th.

The reinstatement of Glass-Steagall is the first step to ending the financial bubble. It

must then be followed by the development of an immediate credit program to increase the productivity of our nation’s citizens and address the dire collapse of the physical economic conditions of the nation. We can and must reunify the entire country, first by increasing our labor force and bring-ing the nearly 100 million Americans who are now unemployed back into productive work; and second, it requires joining with the international efforts of nations such as Russia and China in the formation of a new global economic Renaissance for mankind, as must be done now in Syria.

The momentum for this urgent mea-sure is increasing rapidly. Resolutions for Glass-Steagall were passed in both the Democratic and Republican Parties platforms. On Oct. 26, just a few weeks

before the November 8th election, now President-elect Donald Trump made the following statement, “Dodd-Frank has been a disaster, making it harder for small businesses to get the credit they need… It’s time for a 21st Century Glass-Steagall and, as part of that, a priority on helping African American businesses get the credit they need.”

On November 8th, the American peo-ple voted to end sixteen years of the Bush-Obama reign of terror, a psychological ter-ror which has been imposed on them since September 11, 2001. On January 3, 2017 a new Congress will be sworn in, and three weeks later President Obama will be an un-pleasant memory.

The looming question before us now: Will the United States join the new para-

digm, which has been initiated by China and Russia and the dozens of nations now working with them, or will we suffer the chaos and implosion of the hyper-inflated 2017 looming financial bubble?

To start down the necessary path, we must eliminate the Wall-Street vultures and secure the nation’s long-term produc-tivity with LaRouche’s Four Laws.

Call and visit your Congressmember, write a letter-to-the-editor, call into the ra-dio stations, contribute to LaRouchePAC!

Help create a chorus for Glass-Stea-gall and LaRouche’s Four Laws and end Obama’s failed legacy for future genera-tions to come.

Let them know once again we mean busi-ness and we can’t be stopped. Take action today!

Schiller Institute NYC Chorus Pays Tribute to Alexandrov Ensemble

On Friday, December 30, members of the Schiller Institute Chorus gathered in front of the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Manhattan to pay tribute to the victims of the Christmas day Black Sea crash of the TU-154 plane carrying nearly the entirety of the famous Alexandrov Ensemble, and several others, including a beloved doctor, Dr. Elizaveta Glinka (“Dr. Liza”) who was on her way to deliver medical supplies to the children of Syria. They sang the Russian National Anthem, which was composed in 1942 by Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov, the founder of the chorus.

This performance went viral on YouTube, generating thousands of comments includ-

ing: “This is what is called human values. These peoples did more for Russian-Amer-ican relations in several minutes than Obama’s administration for 8 years.”

The performance was done on the same day that the Obama Administration an-nounced the expulsion of 35 Russian diplo-mats and their families to leave the United States within 72 hours, in the middle of the holiday season. Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by inviting the children of U.S. diplomats in Russia to join him for the holidays in the Kremlin. This action, or non-action, by Putin made Obama’s pa-thetic, shrinking, lame-duck stature all the more obvious to the rest of the world.

Message of condolence to the Alexandrov Ensemble and the

People of Russia In the name of the International Schil-ler Institute, I wish to express our deep condolences for the tragic loss of the the 92 human beings who died in the plane crash on the way to Syria. This accident is all the more a cause for sadness, as the music and patriotic spirit characteristic of the members of the Alexandrov Ensemble would have brought a message of hope to the people of Syria. This is a population victimized by more than five years of the criminal policies of regime change and treated as the pawns in a geopolitical game in complete violation of their sov-ereignty.

The Alexandrov Ensemble has been an expression of the highest moral values of Russia and, like classical choral singing in general, speaks to the soul and the creative potential of the audience. It is therefore extremely important that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that he is initiating auditions to pick the best talents to fully restore the Alexandrov Chorus.

The training of the singing voice is im-portant for everybody, since a well-placed voice can express the creative intention of the composer and directly speak to the same faculty in the audience. It rep-resents, therefore, an irreplaceable ele-ment of the harmonious development of

the character. Let me therefore share with you the idea that, in addition to rebuild-ing the Alexandrov Ensemble, thousands of Alexandrov choruses be established in schools all over Russia to honor the heroic contribution of Russia in the liberation of Syria and, at the same time, broaden the uplifting effect of choral singing to the young generation.

There is a New Paradigm in the process of becoming as exemplified by the inte-gration of the Eurasian Union and the New Silk Road Initiative, establishing a completely new kind of relations among nations. We need a dialogue of the best tradtions of each culture for this New Paradigm to grow into a new era of civ-ilization—the knowledge of the best of another culture will lead to a love for it, and therefore supercede xenophobia and hatred with more noble emotions. In this new era, geopolitics will be overcome for-ever and the dedication to the common aims of mankind will establish a higher level of reason. It is a reason for consola-tion for all of us, that the tragic death of the victims of the plane crash contribute with their immortality to the building of that better world.

The Four New Laws to Save The U.S.A. Now!

NOT AN OPTION: AN IMMEDIATE NECESSITYby Lyndon LaRouche

The following statement is for immediate action. The priority is assigned to all means and measures of public action, nationally and internationally, without reservation. That priority is existential for the policies of our republic, and for the general information of, and by all relevant circles world-wide, be-ginning this date of June 8, 2014.

THE FACT OF THE MATTERThe economy of the United States of

America, and also that of the trans-Atlan-tic political-economic regions of the plan-et, are, now, under the immediate, mortal danger of a general, physical-economic, chain-reaction breakdown-crisis of that region of this planet as a whole. The name for that direct breakdown-crisis throughout those indicated regions of the planet, is the presently ongoing introduction of a general “Bail-in” action under several, or more gov-

ernments of that region: the effect on those regions, will be comparable to the physi-cal-economic collapse of the post-“World War I” general collapse of the economy of the German Weimar Republic: but, this time, hitting, first, the entirety of the na-tion-state economies of the trans-Atlantic region, rather than some defeated econ-omies within Europe. A chain-reaction collapse, to this effect, is already acceler-ating with an effect on the money-systems of the nations of that region. The present acceleration of a “Bail-in” policy through-out the trans-Atlantic region, as underway now, means mass-death suddenly hitting the populations of all nations within that trans-Atlantic region: whether directly, or by “overflow.”

The effects of this already prepared action by the monetarist interests of that so-des-ignated region, unless stopped virtually now, will produce, in effect, an accelerating rate of genocide throughout that indicated portion of the planet immediately, but, also, with catastrophic “side effects” of compara-ble significance in the Eurasian regions.

The Available RemediesThe only location for the immediate-

ly necessary action which could prevent such an immediate genocide throughout the trans-Atlantic sector of the planet, re-quires the U.S. Government’s now imme-diate decision to institute four specific, cardinal measures: measures which must be fully consistent with the specific intent of the original U.S. Federal Constitution, as had been specified by U.S. Treasury Secre-tary Alexander Hamilton while he remained in office: (1) immediate re-enactment of the Glass-Steagall law instituted by U.S. Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, without modifi-cation, as to principle of action. (2) A return to a system of top-down, thoroughly defined National Banking.

The actually tested, successful model to be authorized is that which had been in-stituted, under the direction of the policies of national banking which had been actu-ally, successfully installed under President Abraham Lincoln’s superseding authority of a currency created by the Presidency of the United States (e.g. “Greenbacks”), as conducted as a national banking-and-cred-it-system placed under the supervision of the Office of the Treasury Secretary of the United States.

For the present circumstances, all other banking and currency policies, are to be superseded, or, simply, discontinued, as fol-lows: Banks qualifying for operations under this provision, shall be assessed for their proven competence to operate as under the national authority for creating and compos-ing the elements of this essential practice, which had been assigned, as by tradition, to the original office of Secretary of the U.S. Treasury under Alexander Hamilton. This means that the individual states of the Unit-ed States are under national standards of practice, and, not any among the separate states of our nation.

(3) The purpose of the use of a Federal Credit-system, is to generate high-produc-tivity trends in improvements of employ-ment, with the accompanying intention, to increase the physical-economic productivi-ty, and the standard of living of the persons and households of the United States. The

creation of credit for the now urgently needed increase of the relative quality and quantity of productive employment, must be assured, this time, once more, as was done successfully under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, or by like standards of Federal practice used to create a general economic recovery of the nation, per capita, and for rate of net ef-fects in productivity, and by re-liance on the essential human principle, which distinguishes the human personality from the systemic characteristics of the lower forms of life: the net rate of increase of the energy-flux density of effective practice. This means intrinsically, a thorough-ly scientific, rather than a merely mathematical one, and by the related increase of the effective energy-flux density per capita, and for the human population when considered as each and all as a whole. The ceaseless increase of the physical-productivity of

employment, accompanied by its benefits for the general welfare, are a principle of Federal law which must be a paramount standard of achievement of the nation and the individual.1

(4) “Adopt a Fusion-Driver ‘Crash Pro-gram.’ ” The essential distinction of man from all lower forms of life, hence, in practice, is that it presents the means for the perfection of the specifically affirmative aims and needs of human individual and social life. There-fore: the subject of man in the process of creation, as an affirmative identification of an affirmative statement of an absolute state of nature, is a permitted form of expression. Principles of nature are either only affirma-tion, or they could not be affirmatively stat-ed among civilized human minds.

Given the circumstances of the United States, in particular, since the assassina-tions of President John F. Kennedy, and his brother, Robert, the rapid increase re-quired for even any recovery of the U.S. economy, since that time, requires nothing less than measures taken and executed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his actual term in office. The victims of the evil brought upon the United States and its pop-ulation since the strange death of President Harding, under Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover (like the terrible effects of the Bush-Cheney and Barack Obama ad-ministrations, presently) require remedies comparable to those of President Franklin Roosevelt while he were in office.

This means emergency relief measures, including sensible temporary recovery measures, required to stem the tide of death left by the Coolidge-Hoover regimes: mea-sures required to preserve the dignity of what were otherwise the unemployed, while building up the most powerful economic and warfare capabilities assembled under the President Franklin Roosevelt Presiden-cy for as long as he remained alive in office. This meant the mustering of the power of nuclear power, then, and means thermo-

1. The substitution of “3. Cancel Green Poli-cies…” for the correct, “A Federal Credit-Sys-tem,” is a travesty against the principles of any actually scientific principle. Only affirmative identifications of “Science,” could ever be al-lowed. Only the previous title: “The Use of a Federal Credit System” is permitted. Eliminate all use of “reference to ‘Green Policies’ ”: the very use of that latter reference, is a fraudulent rep-resentation.

nuclear fusion now. Without that intent and its accomplishment, the population of the United States in particular, faces, now, immediately, the most monstrous disaster in its history to date. In principle, without a Presidency suited to remove and dump the worst effects felt presently, those created presently by the Bush-Cheney and Obama Presidencies, the United States were soon finished, beginning with the mass-death of the U.S. population under the Obama Ad-ministration’s recent and now accelerated policies of practice.

There are certain policies which are most notably required, on that account, now, as follows:

Vernadsky on Man & CreationV.I. Vernadsky’s systemic principle of hu-

man nature, is a universal principle, which is uniquely specific to the crucial factor of the existence of the human species. For exam-ple: “time” and “space” do not actually exist as a set of metrical principles of the Solar system; their only admissible employment is for purposes of communication is an es-sentially nominal presumption. Since com-petent science for today can be expressed only in terms of the unique characteristic of the human species’ role within the known aspects of the universe, the human princi-ple is the only true principle known to us for practice: the notions of space and time are merely useful imageries:

Rather:The essential characteristic of the human

species, is its distinction from all other spe-cies of living processes: that, as a matter of principle, which is rooted scientifically, for all competent modern science, on the foun-dations of the principles set forth by Filippo Brunelleschi (the discoverer of the onto-logical minimum), Nicholas of Cusa (the discovery of the ontological maximum), and the positive discovery by mankind, by Johannes Kepler, of a principle coincident with the perfected Classical human singing scale adopted by Kepler, and the elementary measure of the Solar System within the still larger universe of the Galaxy, and higher orders in the universe.

Or, similarly, later, the modern phys-ical-scientific standard implicit in the argument of Bernhard Riemann, the ac-tual minimum (echoing the principle of Brunelleschi), of Max Planck, the actual maximum of the present maximum, that of Albert Einstein; and, the relatively latest, consequent implications of the definition of human life by Vladimir Ivanovich Ver-nadsky. These values are, each relative abso-lutes of measurement of man’s role within the knowledge of the universe.

This set of facts pertains to the inherent fraud of the merely mathematicians and the modernist “musical performers” since the standard of the relevant paragon for music, Johannes Brahms (prior to the degenerates, such as the merely mathematicians, such as David Hilbert and the true model for every modern Satan, such as Bertrand Russell, or Tony Blair).

The knowable measure, in prin-ciple, of the dif-ference between man and all among the low-er forms of life, is found in what has been useful-ly regarded as the naturally up-ward evolution of the human species, in con-trast to all other known categories of living species. The standard of measurement of these compared relationships, is that mankind is enabled to evolve upward, and that categorically, by those voluntarily noëtic powers of the human individual will.

Except when mankind appears in a mor-ally and physically degenerate state of be-havior, such as within the cultures of the tyrants Zeus, the Roman Empire, and the British empire, presently: all actually sane cultures of mankind, have appeared, this far, in a certain fact of evolutionary prog-ress from the quality of an inferior, to a superior species. This, when considered in terms of efficient effects, corresponds, with-in the domain of a living human practice of chemistry, to a form of systemic advances, even now leaps, in the chemical energy-flux density of society’s increase of the effective energy-flux-density of scientific and com-parable expressions of leaps in progress of the species itself: in short, a universal phys-ical principle of human progress.

The healthy human culture, such as that of Christianity, if they warrant this affir-mation of such a devotion, for example, represents a society which is increasing the powers of its productive abilities for prog-ress, to an ever higher level of per-capita existence. The contrary cases, “the so-called zero-growth” scourges, such as the current British empire are, system-ically, a true model consistent with the tyrannies of a Zeus, or, a Roman Em-pire, or a British (better said) “brutish” empire, such as the types, for us in the United States, of the Bush-Cheney and Obama administrations, whose charac-teristic has been, concordant with that of such frankly Satanic models as that of Rome and the British empire pres-ently, a shrinking human population of the planet, a population being degrad-ed presently in respect to its intellectu-al and physical productivity, as under those U.S. Presidencies, most recently.

Chemistry: The Yardstick of HistoryWe call it “chemistry.” Mankind’s prog-

ress, as measured rather simply as a spe-cies, is expressed typically in the rising power of the principle of human life, over the abilities of animal life general-

ly, and relatively absolute superiority over the powers of non-living processes to achieve within mankind’s willful intervention to that intended effect. Progress exists so only un-der a continuing, progressive increase of the productive and related powers of the human species. That progress defines the absolute distinction of the human species from all others presently known to us. A government of people based on a policy of “zero-population growth and per capi-ta standard of human life” is a moral, and practical abomination.

Man is mankind’s only true measure of the history of our Solar system, and what reposes within it. That is the same thing, as the most honored meaning and endless achievement of the human species, now within nearby Solar space, heading upward to mastery over the Sun and its Solar sys-tem, the one discovered (uniquely, as a mat-ter of fact), by Johannes Kepler.

A Fusion economy, is the presently ur-gent next step, and standard, for man’s gains of power within the Solar system, and, later, beyond.

The Schiller Institute Chorus is committed to creating a renaissance in the United States based on principles of Classical Composition. In music this means Italian “bel canto” placement of the voice at the proper scientific tuning, as advocated by Guiseppe Verdi of Middle C = 256 Hz. (A no higher than 432 Hz).

In September 2016, the Schiller Institute NYC Chorus, joined by friends from NJ, Boston, and Virginia, was able to perform the entire Mozart Requiem with a chorus of over 80 members, and a professional orchestra and soloists, in living memorial for those lost on 9/11/2001.

The chorus has now expanded to Queens and Brooklyn over the past year, and has become a crucial part of Lyndon LaRouche’s “Manhattan Project,” to restore Manhattan as the intellectual and cultural capital of the United States, as it was during the time of Alexander Hamilton.
