The Editorial: “Is This What Is Meant by Free and Fair Elections?”
This week’s feature from Lyndon LaRouche is “To Save Civilization, Place Your Voice!” This is newly edited excerpts from an until-now limited-circulation presentation to his colleagues in 2015 when he was 93, in which he motivated the “Manhattan Project”—moving the center of his organization’s organizing to Manhattan, “the real capital of the United States, as intended by the founders of the nation.” He insisted that the proper placing of the voice in political organizing and in the production of beautiful music was identical, and must constitute the core of that project:
“We’re at the point that the whole United States system in its present form, is ready to disintegrate. And the only way you’re going to prevent it, and reverse the degeneration, is by learning to place your voice properly….
“Anyone who has a beautiful voice, has it essentially because of placement. That’s what makes the meaning of “human” pleasant…. It’s the placement of the sound, but the sound itself…. It’s not the sound as such that’s created; it’s the human being, the tuning of the mind, not the tuning of the voice…. You have to tune yourself to mankind, to humanity….
“We are making a revolution centered on Manhattan right now. That’s what the basis of our organization’s existence is as of now: to effect that kind of reform. That’s the idea. It’s by ending the noise that you hear the music. And on that question, I am fully committed.”
