Crossroads: Conflict Or Progress?

The world stands at a crossroads, whose path depends in large degree on the fight to unravel the fraud of the presidential election in the United States.

Trump’s campaign has won a court battle in Pennsylvania, secured a call from Michigan state senators for a full vote audit in that state before the election is certified, and filed over 100 additional affidavits in ongoing legal cases. Every day brings further evidence of election irregularities and new whistleblowers testifying to illegal activity in the election.

Amid these useful developments, chaff is being spread, in the form of spoofed or unsupported “evidence” designed to attract attention to delegitimize the calls to “stop the steal.” And the Michigan Attorney General has taken it upon herself to threaten criminal prosecution against those posting what she in her unerring wisdom considers to be “intentionally misleading” information. While censorship is becoming commonplace on social media, this is a grave escalation, running completely afoul of the First Amendment. As the Supreme Court explained in 2011: “Freedom of speech and thought flows not from the beneficence of the state but from the inalienable rights of the person. And suppression of speech by the government can make exposure of falsity more difficult, not less so. Society has the right and civic duty to engage in open, dynamic, rational discourse.”

As President Donald Trump fights for a fair outcome to the election, he continues to reshape his Administration. The new Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller has brought in retired Col. Douglas Macgregor as a senior policy advisor. Macgregor is known as a military dissident and a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, and it is thought that he has been brought in to accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and possibly also Syria. Other shakeups at the Pentagon are terrifying establishment Washington with the fear that Trump will move rapidly to declassify documents to get to the bottom of Russiagate. Rooting out the origins of the coup against his presidency will provide powerful insights into the operation of the electoral fraud that demands investigation.

At the center of this coup attempt has been the British Empire. In an article published Thursday, the head of Chatham House — the Royal Institute for International Affairs — gushes that “defense of democracy” internationally would be the glue to cement the U.S.-U.K. Special Relationship under a Biden presidency. The British oligarchic interests are anxious to ensure the U.S. be brought back into line to defend the post-World War II “liberal democratic order” which is now crumbling at an accelerating rate. Biden, speaking at Chatham House in 2018, urged that the U.S. and U.K. “rally together to counter the authoritarian alternative” to the “democracy” (and wars) of the Special Relationship.

The collapsing British system of economic financialization, geopolitical wars, and “green” boondoggles designed to prevent development is not the only system in the world. Freed from aspects of this outlook, the U.S. economy saw mild improvements under Trump.

Developments around the world show the potential of the new paradigm sweeping the globe.

Iraq — a nation devastated by the barbaric 2003 Iraq War — is poised to build a modern infrastructure platform through a Hamiltonian system of credit made possible through Chinese financing. The September White-House-mediated agreement between Serbia and Kosovo put economic development as the first item to reaching a lasting peace in the region. Similarly, the Russia-mediated peace arrangement of Azerbaijan and Armenia can bring significant economic potential to the region, by opening borders and fostering trade.

For the world to fully realize the potential of an economic renaissance that goes far beyond incremental improvements requires the economic method Lyndon LaRouche developed, of sovereign governments achieving qualitatively superior infrastructure platforms (including social infrastructure) to serve as a substrate for increased physical productivity, anchored in accelerated investment into new frontiers of science and technology — most especially space and nuclear fusion.

This outlook must succeed, and defeating the flagrant assault on democracy in the United States is a key factor in winning that victory.
