Lexington and Concord, 251 Years Later

The Battle of Lexington, the 'shot hear around the world,' by William Barnes Wollen

April 19th, 1775, was the shot heard around the world as the British attempted to get their renegade American colony back under control. To the shock of the arrogant British, the American colonists were well prepared, secured most of their military supplies out of harm’s way, and successfully drove the British back to Boston. A little over one year later, the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, and the War of Independence was officially launched.

What would Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington think of the spectacle today in Washington D.C.? What would they say about the fact that King Charles and his royal consort Queen Camilla will be visiting their former colony in the coming days to “celebrate” the relationship of the United States and Great Britain over the last two and one half centuries? Could George Washington even have imagined that King Lear would occupy the White House?

In an interviewwith Larry Johnson, constitutional attorney Robert Barnes stated that everyone at the White House is aware of Trump’s failing mental capacity. He reported that even Chief of Staff Susie Wiles (formerly campaign manager for Bibi Netanyahu), has reversed her policy of preventing President Trump from hearing any bad news, to which he reacts very badly, to allow Cabinet members to now inform him of the disastrous results of his policies, in hopes it will restrain him from unleashing a global catastrophe. According to Barnes, even the pro-Zionist fanatics at the White House are aware that the United States is not winning the Iran war and that continuing along this path will end very badly.

President Trump, for his part, began Sunday morning with another rabid Truth Social post threatening death and destruction on Iran if they refuse to accede to his completely delusional, illegal, and unreasonable demands. Despite that, he also announced that the American delegation was heading to Islamabad for more talks. Iran, on the other hand, said that it was not planning to send a delegation as long as the United States continued to blockade the Strait. The ceasefire officially ends on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, don’t forget that Russia has issued severe warnings to the Baltic states for allowing their airspace to be used for the launching of Ukrainian drones to attack Russia. Russia and China have to know that the targeting of Iran ultimately is directed at them.

In the last weeks, there has been a shift in the American political situation, with Trump supporters leaving in droves, not necessarily to support the Democratic Party but to denounce Trump for breaking his campaign promises on not launching any new wars, and for the economic hardship they are suffering as a result.Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo XIV have cost him the support of many Catholic Americans, and AIPAC is beginning to lose its grip on the U.S. Congress, as evidenced by the closeness of the vote on invoking the War Powers Resolution.

250 years after the Declaration of Independence, who will liberate America from the British Zionist Epstein class now?

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche has called for an expanded International Peace Coalition call this coming Friday, April 24th. She also has urged Europeans and Americans to take to the streets and protest at locations where drones and weapons are produced to be sent to these unholy wars.

Independent presidential candidate Diane Sare has urged that the pressure continue to be brought on the Congress and there are plans for a delegation of LaRouche supporters to visit Congress this week. We are clearly making progress. Representative Rashida Tlaib and Robert Barnes, both, said that members of Congress are receiving hundreds, if not thousands, of phone calls from angry constituents who want them to stop funding the Iran war and stop funding Israel.

Do not be surprised if opportunities for introducing LaRouche’s economic development policies suddenly present themselves. We are in a pre-revolutionary situation and must not get caught behind the pace of events.
