The Way Out of the Inferno: How To Think In a Time of Crisis, Part 3
Join us on Saturday LIVE at 2pm EST. This week's meeting will include Harley Schlanger, Jason Ross and Diane Sare and will address how, in the aftermath of the “banality of evil” that was the January 20 Biden Presidential Inauguration, should one think, in order to address what must now be done in the United States? Statesman Lyndon LaRouche, in his Politics As Art, pointed out “that President Lincoln had won a terrible, justified, and absolutely necessary war on behalf of all humanity, by aid of lessons adduced from Shakespeare, which he had taught, as directives, to the members of his Cabinet. No one, friend or foe, laughed at the awesome result of that instruction.”
The 26,000 National Guardsmen and 14,000 other law enforcement and DOD personnel that deployed at the Biden-Harris Presidential inauguration—a force the same size as the American military forces presently stationed in the nation of Germany, and more than those now deployed in South Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq combined—were a massive, impressive display of mental weakness. The return of the Obama “ancien regime” was not met with roaring enthusiasm by anyone inside or outside of the United States. Minutes after the ceremony, 17 Executive Orders, including rejoining the Paris Climate Accords and revoking the KeystoneXL pipeline were passed. Deindustrialization, depopulation and cultural decline are the future, unless war, including thermonuclear war, with either Russia, China or both, suddenly shortens the winter of American discontent with a “global warming” of another kind.
Poet Dante Alighieri, who died 700 years ago, invented the Italian language through a poem, the Commedia, sometimes called “The Divine Comedy.” His purpose was to transform his divided, desperate and semi-literate countrymen into thinkers, by giving them a language by means of which they might discuss profound and impassioned conceptions respecting man and nature. Building an American, and indeed international “Gideon’s army” of thinkers, capable of discussing clearly, with pungency and force, the great tasks of humanity, is our responsibility, our mission, and our topic for this Saturday’s Manhattan Project Discussion.
