A Diane Sare Independent Presidential campaign event drew about 70 people in person to the Manhattan venue last night, with another 20 people watching the event at a restaurant in Houston, and at other satellite meetings, and an Internet audience of perhaps 200 more participating via Zoom, evidenced by a number of announced Sare campaign contributions which were being made on line during the proceedings.

The candidate was introduced by Bronx Congressional District 15 hero Jose Vega, also an Independent, who was in turn called to speak by moderator Anastasia Battle. Vega had spoken of his just-ended campaign “catapulting” immediately into Sare’s, which is just taking off.

Diane began by noting that “the American people are traumatized” by what war and political corruption have put them through, on top of years/decades of economic and moral decline. She promised: “My Presidency has a very big task. We are going to organize the greatest peacetime recovery in the history of the United States.” She also proposed criminal investigations of every person named in the Epstein files.

In an interesting discussion of Lyndon LaRouche’s investigations of economic science during his lifetime, Sare drew attention to the research LaRouche did as early as 1947 on Norbert Wiener’s doctrines of entropy, and of supposed “thinking machines” or robots. LaRouche proved to his own satisfaction then, as Pope Leo XIV has emphasized now, that no electronic robot creature is capable of human creative thought and emotion.

Sare introduced a demonstration by her webmasters of the capabilities of her new website, which will make it possible to accommodate many thousands of volunteers state by state, and to track her progress in petition-gathering, state and district coordinators, fundraising, etc. in each state. Her campaign has recruited nearly 250 Electors to this point, for the Electoral College state-by-state confirmation of a President Sare in January 2029.

The site also graphically outlines the “great projects of infrastructure” she will be promoting, such as a Bering Strait Tunnel linking the North American and Eurasian landmasses, high-speed rail projects, and the revival of the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA). Sare made clear a number of immediate “Congressional” issues on which she agrees with many newly-elected Members: the importance of blocking the NDAA’s merger, in its Senate version, of Israeli and U.S. military-industrial complexes; replacing the Democratic leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries; supporting Rep. Thomas Massie’s legislation to impeach “War” Secretary Hegseth; re-enacting the Glass-Steagall Act before mountains of unpayable and speculative debt crash.

Diane’s presentation was followed by several live “remote” interventions: One by Delbert Spurlock, former Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), a military veteran collaborator of hers on the matter of youth mobilization; another by Dennis Fritz, also a veteran and longtime Pentagon employee, now part of the Eisenhower Media Network; an irrepressible intervention by Colleen Rowley, a former FBI special agent who, among other services to her nation, had called attention to the CIA “overlooking” the training of several terrorists at flight schools in the United States prior to 9/11; and finally, by Brian McGinnis, representing other Independent House and Senate candidates who backed Sare in the recent election..

Rowley ridiculed the Democrats’ “affordability” slogan: “Do you know anybody against affordability?” she asked, substituting “It’s the war, stupid!”

Including audience questions answers both by Diane Sare and Jose Vega, the campaign event in Manhattan lasted three hours.
