Is it true that the arc of the moral universe is long, but bends towards justice?
Thirty-seven years ago, Lyndon LaRouche was involved, with the full knowledge of the National Security Council, in a back-channel negotiation with the Soviet Union. That process led to the Reagan Administration’s thermonuclear war avoidance policy he termed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Despite the fact that the senior director of the National Security Council, Norman Bailey, had met with LaRouche, and, as reported by the Washington Post in 1985, had “described LaRouche’s organization as ‘one of the best private intelligence services in the world,’” LaRouche was put through a federal prosecution by the United States Justice Department. Former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark later described the persecution of LaRouche and his movement as constituting “a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge.”
That LaRouche prosecution from the years 1986-1994 and after, was the seed-crystal for the succeeding decades-long abuse of power carried out, under the guise of “national security,” through illegal surveillance, biased prosecutions, and judicial railroads. This was ultimately done not only against many innocent American citizens, but also against the United States Presidency itself, largely through the actions of British intelligence services and their American assets, as in the thoroughly discredited “Russiagate hoax. The July 20-21 visit of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to London, where he said, “it’s great to be back in London to reaffirm the special relationship we share with our closest ally,” illustrates the problem.
Now, through the courageous actions of “good Americans” such as William Binney, the former Technical Director the National Security Agency (NSA), it becomes possible to expose the snake-pit of corruption, duplicity and sedition that has prevented the policies of war-prevention and economic growth of Lyndon LaRouche. This is what is now preventing the Presidency from advancing the General Welfare of all American citizens through economic cooperation with other nations, particularly Russia and China, in the pursuit of peace through economic development and scientific progress.
President Donald Trump took an opportunity to work in that direction on July 23, with his phone call with Vladimir Putin, where the two Presidents discussed arms control, strategic stability, and defeating the coronavirus.
Against this potential, perils mount. The U.S. shuttering of the P.R.C. Consulate in Houston, Texas has been followed by China’s revocation of authorization for the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu, Sichuan. Former Acting DNI Richard Grenell proposes closing more Chinese consulates in the United States. Russia is accused by the U.S. of deploying satellite weapons in orbit. A close encounter between an Iranian passenger flight and an American F-15 fighter occurred in Syria. And the coronavirus continues to demonstrate to the world its lack of preparation over the past several decades to build up a health and economic system capable of countering it.
Join us on Saturday at 2pm, as Bill Binney and friends continue their dialogue with the American people and others who wish to create a new just paradigm. Join the dialogue at www.schillerinstitute.org
