She went on to outline a dialog of civilizations in which each of the world&#8217;s civilizations is represented by the cultural high-points of its history, such as Germany&#8217;s Weimar Classic, and the United States as it was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"one-half last\"><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34089\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34089\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/newparadigm.schillerinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34089\" src=\"http:\/\/newparadigm.schillerinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII.jpg\" alt=\"helga-IV-april-VII\" width=\"340\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/helga-IV-april-VII-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schiller Institute founder, Helga Zepp LaRouche giving the keynote address.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"toggle-box\"><button class=\"toggle-title\" onclick=\"var d=document.getElementById('toggle-6a3f50db307e6');d.style.display=d.style.display==='none'?'block':'none';\">Transcript of Helga Zepp-LaRouche&#039;s Keynote<\/button><div class=\"toggle-content\" id=\"toggle-6a3f50db307e6\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/p>\n<p>DENNIS SPEED: So, on behalf of the Schiller Institute, my name is Dennis Speed. I want to welcome everybody here today. We have a greeting to the conference I&#8217;ll begin with, which is from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of New York. It says: &#8220;Dear friends, On behalf of everyone at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I extend a warm greeting to all in attendance at the Schiller Institute conference. I truly believe the scientific triumphs of the past century, and the advancements in technology, were not through sheer luck or chance. Rather I believe it is the collective efforts of our species as a whole that allow us to grow and prosper beyond what we could ever accomplish as individuals. Only through cooperation between all nations can we <i>all<\/i> achieve a greater goal. The conference of the New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge will discuss issues including the designs for the development of Southwest Asia, as well as a path for United States recovery. We sincerely wish the conference will be very successful, and the attendees have a wonderful stay in New York City. Sincerely, Justin Yue, Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New York City.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I just want to say a couple of things in welcome. Of course, what&#8217;s referred to in the statement in specific is &#8220;The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge,&#8221; the report that was done at the end of 2014 by the Schiller Institute [sic], and I think everybody has our program so you have the list of our speakers. I just want to say the following in setting us off:<\/p>\n<p>You know, New York City was founded by Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. I&#8217;m not talking about the chronological founding, but the fact that as an American city, it was founded on the principle of a single unified government. Hamilton&#8217;s role with George Washington in the first American Presidency, was a revolutionary one, which was more important than the victory on the battlefields of Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown. His four documents on the National Bank, the Constitutionality of the National Bank, the nature of credit, and the nature of manufactures are the basis for the real United States. It is that real United States that the Schiller Institute seeks to place back on the world stage in collaboration with, particularly, the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, in the pursuit of the policy called the World Land-Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The danger of warfare which now lurks and pulsates from a collapsed trans-Atlantic system is what brings us here today, in part, and the Schiller Institute has been doing conferences in Egypt, has spoken at conferences in Russia and India, and many other locations, in the past weeks, and in that light, and in that context, I&#8217;d like to go directly to introduce the person who has campaigned tirelessly for this policy. Together with her husband, Lyndon LaRouche, back in 1989, the glimmer of this policy was first enunciated as the Eurasian Land-Bridge, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1996, in June, a conference was held in Beijing, which put the idea of the New Silk Road on the map, and at that conference, the founder of our organization spoke, and that conference basically precipitated what then became known as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Many other things occurred. And now, on this stage, we are at the point where if our keynote speaker is listened to, there&#8217;s a world that can be made, can be created, of cooperation, and not destruction.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always my honor and pleasure to introduce the chairman and founder of the Schiller Institute, Helga Zepp-LaRouche.<\/p>\n<p>HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Well, dear guests and friends of the Schiller Institute, this conference is taking place at a very serious moment, and it has no lesser goal than that which has been defined by my husband Lyndon LaRouche with the Manhattan Project: that we have to turn the United States back to its founding principles. We have to get the United States away from its present imperial orientation, and the idea that it must pursue an unipolar world, and turn it back to the identity of a republic, as the Founding Fathers and the Constitution designed it.<\/p>\n<p>This goal is something which almost the whole world thinks is impossible. I can assure you that, outside of the United States, the thinking people think the United States is hopeless, and I can assure you that that is a very common feeling. Many people don&#8217;t travel to the United States any more because they think it has become a place of horror. Yet, achieving this goal, to turn the United States back into a republic, is going to determine, in all likelihood, the fate of the entire human species.<\/p>\n<p>There is right now an absolutely eerie tension in the air, because many people who don&#8217;t always say it, but know it\u2014that we are right now closer to World War III than even at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This has been stated by military analysts and nevertheless, there is no peace movement. There is nobody in the street talking about the fact that we are close to World War III. In the &#8217;80s you had hundreds of thousands of people marching in the streets of Germany against the SS-60 and the Pershing 2. Today, where the situation is more dangerous, and experts have described that if there would be an incident, the warning time to launch general thermonuclear war would be 3 to 6 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>So, only a few people are speaking that, while the vast majority of citizens in the United States and Europe is marching like lemmings towards the cliff.<\/p>\n<p>I want to highlight a case of 78 year old pensioner, a retired teacher from the German city of Kaiserslautern, who, two days ago, was just denied his suit in the third level of the Federal administrative court in Leipzig, where he tried for the third time to sue the German government for allowing the United States to use the air base in Ramstein for a relay system of the drones, without which the drones could not be sent to the Middle East and elsewhere. [He said] that this would be against the German constitution, which does not allow Germany to ever again launch a war of aggression, or help other countries to do so. The judges ruled again that matters of international law can only be taken up by states, and not by individuals, but this pensioner of 78 years old, is planning to take this to the highest Constitutional court in Karlsr\u00fche.<\/p>\n<p>One is almost reminded of the story in the Old Testament where God was about to punish Sodom and Gomorrah for their sinful behavior, and was then convinced that if there would be only ten just men, the punishment would not be carried out. And I must ask: Are there ten honest men to stand up today?<\/p>\n<p>Before I come to the solution, how we get out of this crisis, let me look at the very dire strategic situation. We are now having 12 days of joint military drills involving the United States and the Philippines, Australia, and Japan. The exercise is called Shoulder to Shoulder, and for the first time ever, the U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter will go there to be on the place [on site] next week. Now yesterday, Ash Carter said that the enemies of the United States are first, Russia; second, China; third, Iran; fourth, North Korea, and fifth\u2014oh yeah, there was terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Parallel, you have the largest ever U.S.-South Korean military exercises until late April, also involving many troops, and the Philippine exercise includes an amphibious landing exercise to simulate taking one of the disputed islands in the South China Sea. The Philippine military also is sending a U.S. high-mobility artillery rocket system designed to shoot down aircraft. And basically it&#8217;s the first time that these exercises include Australia and Japan, in the effort to build a quadrilateral military counter alliance to China.<\/p>\n<p>Now other things are taking place in the region. Two weeks ago, the Philippines allowed the United States to have access to five of its bases near the disputed waters in the South China sea, and they renewed the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement. Now this is against the Philippine constitution, but they bypassed it by allowing the U.S. troops within Philippine bases, so that the Constitution would not apply. Now also Japan has a new national security law, which went into effect last Tuesday, where the national Diet passed a new security bill breaking away from the pacifist constitution of Japan, in order to enhance the alliance with the United States, and with it, the power to exercise the right for collective self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the whole world watches: Does that mean that Japan is going to go back to its military past?<\/p>\n<p>There is a tendency in Japan right now, to move into alliances with other claimants of the contested territories [in the South China Sea] to contain Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Now where is all of this leading? China&#8217;s position concerning the waters are written in what they call the Nine Dash Line in the South China Sea, and China claims that these are territories which historically belong to China, including the right to reclaim land and build bases on the Spratly Islands. China also says\u2014and that is true\u2014that this does represent a violation of the freedom to the seas, but it will just improve the living conditions of the people living there, give better ways to protect against pirates, and it does not hinder the passage of other ships.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Philippines in 2013 filed a case in the International Court in the Hague, insisting on its right to exploit the South China Sea waters in its 100 nautical mile exclusive economic zone, as defined in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. China did not accept to be in this case, which is their perfect right, but is questioning the legitimacy of the case. The court should have at that point abandoned the case, but they accepted it, and the ruling is expected for the end of April\/beginning of May.\u00a0 The Chinese Defense Ministry said that they have the absolute right to then declare an Air Defense Identification Zone.<\/p>\n<p>Now at the Nuclear Summit in Washington, which just took place, President Xi in a discussion with President Obama, told Obama that China would not accept any behavior in the guise of freedom of navigation, that violates its sovereignty in this region. One day later, exactly one day later, the United States announced a new patrol near the disputed islands in the South China Sea, and Navy officials announced that they plan to conduct more and increasingly complex exercises in the future. So the United States is playing a chicken game against China, increasing the tension over violations of opposite claims, in the forefront [in anticipation of] of the Hague ruling, to create an atmosphere that then, they hope, China would not dare to set up an ADIZ.<\/p>\n<p>But China already said that it will defend its rights in the South China Sea. So the question is, could there be a war between the United States and China over some relatively worthless rocks and reefs in the ocean? Could it be that the United States goes to a war with China on the Philippines&#8217; behalf?<\/p>\n<p>Obviously the South China Sea is of geographical significance for China, but the interest of the United States is geopolitical, and it is the same reasoning as in the TPP, to affirm the right to set the rules in Asia. The United States insists that they will defend a unipolar world, that they are the only superpower, and that they will not allow any other nation to meddle in that. The claim that Russia is only a regional power, which Obama did, is very absurd given the fact that Russia has a nuclear arsenal which is a complete strategic match to that of the United States. And Putin just demonstrated very brilliantly a military flank in Syria against ISIS, that Russia is absolutely needed if you want to have political solutions. Russia played a positive role in the P5+1 negotiations with Iran, and is now helping to end, and making possible, the end of the war in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>There are many leaders in the world who have said, without Russia, you cannot solve existential problems, like terrorism, ISIS, the refugee crisis in Europe. And one should also be reminded that these territorial disputes in the South China Sea are the result of the imperial intention dating back to the Versailles Treaty and the Paris Peace Conference in the aftermath of that in 1919, whereby the former German colonies in the Pacific Islands north and south of the Equator, were given in part to Japan, which at that time caused a tremendous feeling of injustice in China, leading to the May 4th movement. And all the people in China thought the Versailles Treaty was a complete fraud, and as we know from European history, it laid the seeds for World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Now the same game was repeated in the San Francisco Peace Conference after the Second World War, where John Foster Dulles arranged for China to be excluded, despite the fact that China has the\u00a0highest\u00a0casualty rate in Asia against the Japanese, and fought the longest. But the Western powers drew the map in Eastern Asia without China, and John Foster Dulles deliberately declared certain Asian frontier territories without owners, an old imperial trick to manipulate then future conflicts, as was the case with the Sykes-Picot Agreement for Southwest Asia, or the 1919 Trianon Treaty for the Balkans.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that the unipolar world has already ceased to exist. It is a fact that China is rising; the United States is losing its hegemony. China is already exporting much more technologies than the United States. It is educating far more scientists, engineers, and the word in the science community internationally is, if you want to get anything done in frontier science, the place to go is China.<\/p>\n<p>So China, except for a couple of minor corrections in its stock market, is doing very, very well economically\u2014and do not believe what the New York Times is trying to tell you every day. Because China has embarked in the policy of the New Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road, the One Belt, One Road policy on huge infrastructure projects to connect all the countries of Eurasia through infrastructure development and high technology investments. It is so attractive that already 60 nations are cooperating with China. It has created, together with other BRICS countries, a completely alternative economic system\u2014the AIIB, which has immediately\u00a0 had 60 founding members, despite the United States making enormous pressure on everybody not to join it; the New Development Bank, which is already operating this year; The New Silk Road Fund and Maritime Silk Road Fund, and many other such institutions.\u00a0 There is a tremendous attractiveness of this program of a New Silk Road in the spirit of the ancient Silk Road in all of Asia, who are now all talking about increasing Asian connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>The investments of these new banks are going exactly into the areas which were denied for decades by the IMF and the World Bank\u2014namely, in infrastructure\u2014and all of these countries are thirsty and hungry for exactly these kinds of developments. Many countries have recently expressed interest in becoming transport hubs for the New Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road. Indonesia wants to become a hub. Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iran. The New Silk Road is moving very, very rapidly in all of Eastern Europe. Just now, when President Xi Jinping was in Prague on a state visit to the Czech Republic, President Zeman praised the New Silk Road and emphasized the role of Prague, the golden city, to be the gateway between Europe and China. The 16+1 countries just met in Riga, and they also\u2014these are the 16 East European and Central European countries\u2014all want to be connected to the One Belt, One Road policy.<\/p>\n<p>So this is moving very, very positively.<\/p>\n<p>You contrast that with the trans-Atlantic sector, the too-big-to-fail banks, Wall Street and London, which are completely bankrupt, and we are in front of an immediate financial crash, much, much worse than what happened in 2008, where the entire two quadrillion outstanding derivatives could blow up any minute. Furthermore the so-called tools of the central banks no longer function. As a matter of fact, every time a central bank does something to correct the problem, it boomerangs and has the opposite effect, as in the case of the Bank of Japan, Norway, or the ECB. When they go to zero interest rates, or even negative interest rates, it furthers the deflationary collapse instead of stimulating the real economy.<\/p>\n<p>Now how desperate the situation in the trans-Atlantic system is you can see by the fact that the head of the European Central Bank Draghi is now talking about helicopter money. Now that is, if you remember, an invention of Ben Bernanke\u2014the idea that in order to avoid a meltdown of the entire financial system, you just fly helicopters over cities, who throw down money, as much as is needed to prevent a meltdown. Now this obviously has caused a complete uproar in Germany, because people in Germany remember what the hyperinflation of 1923 was all about.<\/p>\n<p>Then look at the condition of Europe. The refugee crisis, which is not being discussed much, but the reality is that it&#8217;s the result of the wars conducted mostly by the United States and the British in the Middle East, wars which were all based on lies. Iraq\u2014no weapons of mass destruction. The war against Libya was initiated by a lie in the UN Security Council that it would not be a war. Look at Afghanistan: was September 11 really as it was presented? Look at the situation in Yemen and in many African states.<\/p>\n<p>The refugee crisis, which is the biggest humanitarian crisis probably since the end of the Second World War\u2014unbelievable fates of people\u2014has revealed that there is no European Union, because there is no union. There is no unity. There is no solidarity. You have now a situation where children are stuck behind barbed wire, and police are shooting at them, trying to get the back. And then there was this absolutely shameful deal between the EU and Turkey, and Turkey\u2014which, according to documents just delivered to the UN Security Council, is still supporting ISIS.<\/p>\n<p>In Germany politicians are saying, oh, now we have fewer refugees. Yeah, but at what price. They&#8217;re being deported on a grand scale from intern camps in Greece, and it is a complete disgrace. Even the UN Human Rights Commission said this is a complete violation of human rights. It violates the Geneva convention on refugees, and all the aid organizations have already left their jobs, because they say, under these conditions they cannot do it. For example, the Doctors without Borders, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>So the world is clearly in a complete mess and disintegration condition, and what is the answer of the leading institutions of the trans-Atlantic sector? Well, they pulled just now a big rabbit out of the hat called the Panama Papers. Now, one year ago, an anonymous source\u2014which is always dubious\u2014gave to the<i>S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung<\/i> 11.5 million documents, which contained forty years of data concerning the firm in Panama called Mossack Fonseca, which specializes in letterbox firms for the purpose of tax evasion. Now then the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists deployed for one year 400 reporters in 80 countries, financed by whom? By George Soros. And then targeting politicians and industry leaders and sportsmen and others.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately, naturally, the focus was on Putin, even though his name is nowhere to be found in these documents, and Xi Jinping. The <i>New York Times<\/i> did not waste a day since the beginning [inaudible 27:00] this of\u00a0 Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at this operation: What is this? J\u00fcrgen Mossack, one of the founders, his father was a member of the Hitler Waffen SS; Ram\u00f3n Fonseca Mora, the other guy, was the ex-president of the Paname\u00f1ista Party, a party founded by the open Hitler supporter Arnulfo Arias Madrid; and the son was actively involved in the overthrow of General Noriega. Now the old Mossack was a member of the Nazi Waffen SS, and then offered his services after the war, to the U.S. government as an informant. Now that is entirely the profile of the Dulles brothers&#8217; famous rat line, by which they transported Nazis from Germany via the so-called rat line, to South America, to deploy them there for other purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The focus on Xi Jinping is obviously especially ridiculous, because if there is one political leader in the world who is conducting an anti-corruption campaign in a completely ruthless fashion, then it is him. So, what is the purpose of this? Obviously, it&#8217;s part of the present trans-Atlantic hybrid warfare against Russia and China, with the aim to have regime change, by a variety of means: by color revolutions, by NGOs which are financed from foundations which are probably in this tax-exempt scheme; sanctions, and now the Panama Papers with the obvious hope to steer an uproar among their own populations.\u00a0 And it almost worked in the case of the Icelandic President, where now people are in front of the residence of President Olafur Grimsson, but the m.o. of this is really not a new one. The way this has been functioning for a very long time is, you use certain assets owned by the governments, or secret services, and allow criminal operations and behavior to go on for a very long time. And then, at a convenient moment, you blow it up, and you cause a shake-up.<\/p>\n<p>Now this was done very efficiently in the 1990s in Italy, with an operation called &#8220;Clean Hands&#8221; where you had a national juridical investigation into political corruption.\u00a0 And then they blew it all up, and it caused the end of the so-called First Republic of Italy, because all the parties got involved.\u00a0 And anybody who ever travelled to Italy knows, that the entire postwar system of Italy was based on a principle called &#8220;<i>amici di amici<\/i>.&#8221; You may not approve of it, but that&#8217;s what it was, that you couldn&#8217;t get a job done without some kickback, public works would always have some bribes, and the whole operation was called <i>Tagentopoli<\/i>, or in English, &#8220;Bribesville,&#8221; meaning these kickbacks for public works.\u00a0 It Italy, at that time, it involved 5,000 public figures; half of the Italian parliament; more than 400 city and town councils were dissolved, and the annual bribe rate in the &#8217;90s was estimated to be $4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Bloomberg recently reported that the Brazilian &#8220;anti-corruption&#8221; campaign against Dilma Rousseff, one of the BRICS leaders, is based on the Italian model.\u00a0 It is called &#8220;Operation Carwash.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So what they do, is they operate by a system of plea bargains, turn mafia bosses into snitches, and that way, you can roll up the whole political system.\u00a0 Now what comes out there is very interesting, because it reveals the total criminal character, of the entire trans-Atlantic financial system.\u00a0 In the case of Mossack Fonseca, which is only the fourth largest of such firms, so one has to assume that there are many, many more such cases, it turns out that the HongShang bank [Honkong and Shanghai Banking Corp., HSBC] is responsible for 20% of these letterbox firms, and then comes UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland), Cr\u00e9dit Suisse; almost all the German banks are involved.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you do when you have such a problem? The only solution to stop this, is, obviously, what Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1933, when he declared Glass-Steagall with separation of the banks, by simply bankrupting the fraudulent parts and that is exactly what is required today:\u00a0 That you need to separate the banks, protect the commercial banks, and close down the derivatives, the toxic waste paper; and then, you need a Pecora Commission to look into who committed what crime, and for what purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the funny thing is that when the British cabinet member [Chancellor of the Exchequer] Osborne was asked, what about the fact that the father of [Prime Minister] Cameron is also now a target in the Panama Papers, he said, &#8220;oh that is a private matter&#8221;!\u00a0 You know, so it is quite amazing what nerve these people have.<\/p>\n<p>So, the FDR solution for the United States.\u00a0 Then, we need to put down all of these crises, and I think it is absolutely feasible, but one has to take the path as it was now demonstrated by the negotiations between Secretary of State Kerry and Foreign Minister of Russia Lavrov, in the case of Syria.\u00a0 There has to be a political agreement.<\/p>\n<p>But then, you need a <i>huge<\/i> development program.\u00a0 You need to do exactly what President Xi Jinping offered when he was in Iran, namely, to extend the New Silk Road, the One Belt, One Road policy into the entire Middle East.\u00a0 Because you will not stop terrorism by dropping more bombs!\u00a0 If you launch more drones and drop more bombs, one every killed terrorist you will create 100 new ones who hate the West even more than before.<\/p>\n<p>So this is no solution. Obviously, ISIS has to be fought, and has to be gotten rid of, but you need a development perspective for the entire region, from Afghanistan to the Middle East, to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Persian Gulf. And we need to have a war on the desert:\u00a0 We have to have new, fresh water, which is eminently possible with peaceful nuclear energy and desalination of large amounts of ocean water. We need to build new cities, agriculture, industry, so that the people of Syria, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Yemen, and Tripoli in Libya, and many, many African countries, that they have a future!<\/p>\n<p>Why can we not take the offer of Xi Jinping to enter into a &#8220;win-win&#8221; cooperation with the large neighbors of the Middle East, Russia, China, India, Iran, Egypt, and build up the Middle East in a Marshall Plan\/New Silk Road fashion.\u00a0 The only reason why I&#8217;m mentioning the Marshall Plan, is because it reminds people that you can rebuild war-torn regions with a crash program.\u00a0 I know that China doesn&#8217;t want to use this word, because the Marshall Plan has such a Cold War connotation; but we need to have a New Silk Road perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the same goes obviously to settle the Ukraine crisis. You probably heard that yesterday, the Dutch people voted in a referendum against the EU Association Agreement for Ukraine. This is very, very good:\u00a0 Because it means that this horrible EU is one step further to its dissolution, because if you remember, it was the EU Association Agreement which was supposed to be signed by Yanukovych in late 2013, in the summit in<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>that started the whole Ukraine crisis.\u00a0 Because Yanukovych, in the last moment realized, that it would have totally have given the territory of Ukraine access for NATO; it would have totally made possible economic warfare against Russia, because of the border and the agreements between Ukraine and Russia.\u00a0 So he did not sign it in the very last moment.\u00a0 And then, you had the color revolution, the Maidan, all of these things develop.\u00a0 And if you look at the chronology of these events, it was not Russia acquiring the Crimea; Russia in every single instance, reacted to a provocative action by NATO and by the EU, including a fascist coup in February 2014 [in Ukraine].<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to solve this problem now? Well, this is now the idea moment, because the EU Association Agreement just detonated, and it cannot be implemented, even if only 32% of the Dutch people voted on it, there were 64% in favor, the government in Holland does not dare to go along with it, because there are many people in 70% who did not vote who don&#8217;t like the EU, because remember Holland and France were the only two countries who voted <i>against<\/i> the EU Constitution in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>So the ferment against this dictatorship which the EU has become, is just too big, and the lament today in the European media about the failure of this agreement is just absolutely loud and noisy.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Let&#8217;s use this situation, where, and if there&#8217;s one veto, this agreement cannot go through, let&#8217;s use it to say: &#8220;Stop the confrontation with Russia!&#8221;\u00a0 Extend the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union of Russia into one Eurasian area from the Atlantic to the Sea of China.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s extend the Silk Road perspective, to include Ukraine and develop it!\u00a0 Because Ukraine is economically absolutely finished!\u00a0 The people are living a horrendous life, as the result of that happened in the last three years.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s do the same thing for Africa.\u00a0 Do people really think that we can sit there, and the 1% of the rich become richer and richer, by means which we now get a better window with the Panama Papers, and the majority of people lose everything.\u00a0 The middle class become the poor, the poor have shortened lives; the gap between rich and poor worldwide is becoming bigger and bigger; and 1 billion people go hungry every day.<\/p>\n<p>Klaus Schwab, the director of the Davos Economic Forum a couple of months ago said, that if the present trends do not change, it is expected that <i>1 billion people<\/i> will come as refugees to Europe in the next years.\u00a0 Well, if it comes to that, and you have the effort to use NATO and Frontex, military ships and fire at the refugees to try to deter them, what remains then of the &#8220;European values&#8221;? What about our humanism?\u00a0 What about <i>any<\/i> value?<\/p>\n<p>So why don&#8217;t we take the New Silk Road\u00a0 and say &#8220;well, we have now a very attractive economic model which is already functioning already very well in 60 nations of the world, and let&#8217;s join hands, the United States, and Russia, and China, and European nations, and develop Africa.\u00a0 This is the moment, where we have to have a grand vision, to change the plight of so many people.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in Germany, there is one minister, the Development Minister Gerd M\u00fcller who traveled a lot in Southwest Asia and in Africa, and he is mentioning now, which is a big step forward, every time, &#8220;we need a Marshall Plan, we need to develop these countries, because otherwise, they will bring all their problems to Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s convince Japan that it is not in their favor to be drawn into military adventures against China.\u00a0 Japan is a country, very much like Germany which has almost no raw materials, and achieved a very high living standard because of high rates in science and technology, and exporting.\u00a0 And for Japan, the natural export market is all of Asia, is Africa, and they should be part of such a new world economic system; and not go the way the Bank of Japan is now going to zero interest rates, negative interest rates, and plunging deeper and deeper into the deflation.<\/p>\n<p>The United States:\u00a0 \u00a0Is the United States so much above the need for a New Silk Road?\u00a0 I mean, if you travel through either roads from Washington to New York, or even on the roads in New York, I don&#8217;t understand why the citizens are not in an uprising against these roads!\u00a0 I mean, they are so bad, that the roads at the end of G.D.R., East German before it collapsed, they were smooth compared to what you have here!\u00a0 So, what the United States would obviously profit from is to join the New Silk Road, to build infrastructure!\u00a0 China built 20,000 km of fast train system by the end of last year, and they plan to have 50,000 km by the year 2025 or 2030, in any case, a very short period of time.\u00a0 And the United States has built how many kilometers or miles of fast train?\u00a0 Zero!<\/p>\n<p>So what we propose, is that the United States, rather than wasting its industrial capacity in an ever-growing military-industrial complex, trying to militarize the whole world, you can transform these industries and build fast trains, build maglev trains, or import the Chinese fast train system \u2014 which is <i>excellent<\/i>.\u00a0 It&#8217;s smooth, it&#8217;s quick, it doesn&#8217;t shake at all, like the European fast trains.\u00a0 So build 50,000 miles of fast train in the United States!\u00a0 Fight the desert in the Southwest of the United States!\u00a0 Build a couple of new cities, you know: large parts of the United States are completely undeveloped.\u00a0 Basically, after Teddy Roosevelt, no new cities were built in the west.\u00a0 Build some &#8220;smart cities,&#8221; modern cities based on modular systems, but make <i>beautiful<\/i> cities!\u00a0 That would be a real challenge, to build beautiful cities, and not more Houstons.\u00a0 [applause]<\/p>\n<p>So, we have put this program on the table: <i>The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>And the reason why we have proposed a development for the entire world, is because also, multipolarity is not the answer to a unipolar world.\u00a0 Because the idea that you have multipoles, that you have groups of nations which still maintain their interests against other groups of nations, still has the seed of geopolitics.\u00a0 And geopolitics is what caused two world wars in the 20th century, and if we would come to a new world war, it would be the annihilation of all of mankind.\u00a0 Because the idea that you have a limited war somewhere in the Pacific or somewhere in Europe, is complete bunk, and all the military experts we talked to, top-level military\u00a0 in Europe, the United States and elsewhere, are convinced that it is the nature of the existence of thermonuclear weapons, that it would come to a general, global war, if you start a war somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>What we need to have is the replacement of geopolitics through a new paradigm; a new paradigm which must be as different as was the Middle Ages separated from what is called &#8220;modern times.&#8221;\u00a0 The Middle Ages being, scholasticism, superstition, Flagellants, people just going crazy, believing in Aristotle; and when the Renaissance happened with Nikolaus of Cusa and some of the great thinkers of the Italian Renaissance, they designed a completely new paradigm which defined the role of the individual in a completely different way; it established the sovereign nation-state devoted to the common good for the first time; it made scientific and artistic progress possible in ways absolutely unknown before.<\/p>\n<p>And we need, today, a completely new paradigm.\u00a0 If we cannot lift our thinking above the present, petty, so-called self-interest, so-called &#8220;national interest&#8221; or interest, really, of the big corporations and Wall Street, then we will not make it as a human species.\u00a0 What we need is an image of man, which is man as the only creative species, in our knowledge so far.\u00a0 In the Chinese Confucian philosophy, there is the word, or the notion of <i>ren<\/i>, which is almost the same thing as in Christian humanism, the word <i>agap\u00eb<\/i>, of love.\u00a0 That you have to have love and harmonious relation with your family, your neighbor, your nation and the international community of nations.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the human species has come a very long way in a very short period of time.\u00a0 If you think about the last 10,000 years, we have produced quite a number of great minds:\u00a0 Confucius, Plato, Mencius, Nikolaus of Cusa, Kepler, Leibniz, Bach, Schiller, Beethoven, Tagore, Vernadsky, Einstein, just to name a few; and that is how people should be.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you say, &#8220;these are people who are so extraordinary, they only come one in a century&#8221;; but I don&#8217;t think so.\u00a0 I think that if we go now for the kind of reform which we are talking about, and you would eliminate poverty, that no more child, and no more person on the entire planet would be deprived of his or her basic needs.\u00a0 I think if you then give all the children of this planet a universal education, to give them access to the great discoveries of the past, that you teach them Classical art, that you give them the kind of morality which used to be associated with Christian humanism, or with Buddhism, or with Confucianism, or other great cultures of this planet, well, I think the elimination of hunger and poverty would do the best for human rights you can do!\u00a0 Because being poor and being hungry does not allow you to exercise your human rights.<\/p>\n<p>So if we go on the other road, and say, let&#8217;s have a plan of global development, let&#8217;s stop geopolitical wars, let&#8217;s join hands to work together, so that every child of the future can have a perspective to become a scientist, to become a teacher, an artist, to become basically an astronaut or some other beautiful thing developing the human mind. Then, I think what we need, is, we have to go back to our own high traditions of our own cultures.\u00a0 The Americans have to become republicans again, like Benjamin Franklin, or the Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy.\u00a0 I think\u00a0 in Germany, we need to go back to the German Classics.\u00a0 In other nations, we have high points of culture, which we have to revive.<\/p>\n<p>And then we have to relate to each other from the standpoint of the actual highest form of our culture, and relate to the highest form of the culture of the other nation.<\/p>\n<p>And then we will have a human world.<\/p>\n<p>I think we should not give up on the idea that mankind is human! And that is what we have to fight for right now.\u00a0 So I think that, if we do that, and to speak in modern English, the &#8220;new normal&#8221; will be that every person will be a genius. [applause]<\/p>\n<p><hr class=\"shortcode-hr\"><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Helga was followed by former U.S. Attorney General (1966-67) Ramsey Clark, who wove his own long experience into an account of recent world history which underlined the alternative to the war policies of most of the post-Kennedy U.S. Administrations.<\/p>\n<p>The next speaker was a truly unique figure from China, that nation&#8217;s leading professor of journalism and the leader of much else as well, Li Xiguang. Professor Li has led a decades-long pilgrimage on behalf of the Silk Road,\u2014across Central Asia, and down each of the three North-South routes, and back again. He has led no fewer than 500 of his students on this pilgrimage with him since 1990, and has written two volumes on the New Silk Road. Although his goals for the Silk Road are not religious goals\u2014they are the same as those of the LaRouche movement\u2014Professor Li models himself on the great Chinese cultural heroes, the Buddhist monks Xuanzang (602-664) and his predecessor Faxian (337-422). Both made extensive and arduous trips along the Silk Road, and brought back the first real knowledge of much of world civilization to China, including most especially Sanskrit language and culture and Buddhist scriptures in the original.<\/p>\n<p>Xuanzang spent no less than 16 years on this voyage, and returned with 600 Indian texts. In 646, at the Tang-Dynasty Emperor&#8217;s request, he completed his 12-volume work, &#8220;Great Tang Records on the Western Regions,&#8221; which has become one of the primary sources for the study of medieval Central Asia and India, and the basis for the Sixteenth Century novel &#8220;Journey to the West,&#8221; one of the Four Great Classical Chinese Novels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"one-half\">\n<p>The afternoon session which highlighted the space program, which Kesha Rogers opened with a vivid presentation, will be reported later. The climax of that session was a question-and-answer session with Lyndon LaRouche by Skype connection. LaRouche led most of the questions back to the cardinal question that changes in the physical system, and in the future of mankind, are created by the thinking human mind itself; no animal can do this. Mankind is organized by his own acts of this type; it is these which lead either to failure or to success. This is the mind of the true scientist, of which Einstein is an example. But this account is only a characterization; the actual answers should be studied in detail.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"one-half last\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newparadigm.schillerinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34101\" src=\"http:\/\/newparadigm.schillerinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0.jpg\" alt=\"panel-II_0\" width=\"340\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/panel-II_0-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Attendance exceeded 200, not including the core membership.

HSU:\u00a0 To answer your first question about terrestrial solar, there&#8217;s a lot of study, to answer your question, the reality is the efficiency of the solar cell has continued to improve.\u00a0 And 5-10 years ago, you can hardly see 15%;\u00a0 I talk about the solar cell efficiency.\u00a0 And right now, you can easily see over 19%, even 20% poly-crystalline based solar cells. There&#8217;s also new type of material we call the synfilm; and there&#8217;s a different type of technology.\u00a0 And those are not energy intensive to produce.\u00a0 There&#8217;s First Solar, a U.S. company, and they produce the synfilm solar cells right now.\u00a0 Based on their claim, their study exceeded 20-21; it&#8217;s approaching the 25% range.\u00a0 So, as production process techniques improve, you&#8217;re going to see continued improvement on the efficiency.\u00a0 So, the higher the efficiency, the better you return.\u00a0 And also, sometimes people don&#8217;t realize the poly-crystalline solar cells, mono-crystalline solar cells, are made of dirt basically; silicon sand.\u00a0 So, we understand 40% of Earth&#8217;s composition is this silicon sand, so they can really be made dirt cheap.\u00a0 So, as technology improves, that question will be obvious to be answered.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a lot of study.\u00a0 One report came out of the NRL \u2014 the National Renewable Laboratory \u2014 in Colorado; and it has some dedicated study on the payback of terrestrial solar.<\/p>\n<p>As regarding your question on space solar; the study based on the late 1970 NASA\/DOE, it&#8217;s contracted to Boeing study.\u00a0 The report at that time, the solar component, solar elements is based on, of course, the old poly-silicon technology.\u00a0 But right now, I was in close communication with the Swiss Institute of Technology; a professor in his laboratory has achieved more than 23% efficiency on synfilm.\u00a0 Those are not very hard to produce, and also are radiation-proof and can be utilized in a space environment.\u00a0 I recommend there&#8217;s a study group called the Solar High Study Group; it&#8217;s a group of people like myself and NASA retired engineers and some of the people who were project managers in the Apollo era back in the 1960s.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a volunteer group; they probably should report answering like safety, conversion efficiency, payback, and cost of space solar.\u00a0 So, a lot of countries already have programs for doing that; like the governments of Japan and China, and also NASA has some small programs they&#8217;re working on, on the transmission, we call WPT technology \u2014 wireless power transmission.\u00a0 So, it&#8217;s called solarhigh.org; and if you google the material, you can see. Originally, I was going to give a much detailed, technical presentation; but on the flight from Houston I changed my mind. I said probably for this audience, maybe I should talk first and most; a lot of people haven&#8217;t heard about the space solar concept.\u00a0 So, I have another presentation I did not really select to present it here.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Let me just say the following:\u00a0 What I want to do is, I want to take some questions for Mr. LaRouche, because as I said, we&#8217;ve heard from people here.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s do that first, and then other questions that follow.\u00a0 So, does anyone have a question directly for Lyn?<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Good afternoon, Mr. LaRouche.\u00a0 My name is R\u2014 K\u2014; I&#8217;m from Old Towne, Maine.\u00a0 And I&#8217;ve been following you for decades; and I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re still here with us.\u00a0 God bless you.\u00a0 I&#8217;m 65 years old, but when I was going to school in 1971 in Wichita State University, a lot of things were happening in education. And that was the beginning of where we started studying the future.\u00a0 Our textbook in that class about future change was about the dynamics of change.\u00a0 And keep in mind that 20-year olds in that class were told that in 20 years&#8217; time, we were going to have 4-day work weeks; gerontology work as a job creator; leisure activities \u2014 people should major in those, so that when people get older &#8230;\u00a0 Pollution problems were going to be solved; everything was going to be great.\u00a0 Twenty years later, I&#8217;m in a class at Bangor at the University of Maine, and I heard the same thing.\u00a0 Well, now I&#8217;m 40 years older, and I&#8217;m not 20 years old anymore and na\u00efve; and I&#8217;ve had a little experience.\u00a0 Greed and corruption stops it every time.\u00a0 And when we&#8217;re talking about talking about greed and corruption with all of this \u2014 space and whatever \u2014 it comes down to the petrodollar Ponzi scheme scam that has been foisted on this world.\u00a0 And everybody who takes part in that, people think oil is just fuel; it&#8217;s textiles, it&#8217;s pesticides, herbicides, it&#8217;s pharmaceuticals, it&#8217;s everything. Everybody who&#8217;s making money off of that system wants it to continue; especially the ones at the top.\u00a0 All this fighting that&#8217;s going on, the gas lines that wanted to go across Syria; blow Syria up.\u00a0 The Libya, the gold dinar \u2014<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Excuse me, could you ask a question?<\/p>\n<p>Q: cont&#8217;d:\u00a0 They wanted to have a real, solid currency. Murder him.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t want to trade with the petrodollar, murder Saddam.\u00a0 It just goes on and on.\u00a0 We have to \u2014<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Excuse me, could ask a question?<\/p>\n<p>Q: cont&#8217;d:\u00a0 \u2014 attack the corruption of the Federal Reserve petrodollar Ponzi scheme scam.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Excuse me.<\/p>\n<p>Q: cont&#8217;d:\u00a0 The central banks are private banks; people don&#8217;t realize that, and we don&#8217;t talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Sir, you&#8217;re simply speaking.\u00a0 Would you ask him a question?\u00a0 [Q2 continues on, but mike is cut off.] Let me simply make a \u2014 hold on; let me just say something here.\u00a0 Hold on.\u00a0 Let me simply say something here.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll have to shut the microphone down if you continue.<\/p>\n<p>Let me say something to the audience, please.\u00a0 This is a very serious gathering.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a circus.\u00a0 If you have a question, please ask it; and ask it respectfully and be short, and hopefully have a thought when you get up to the microphone. Then, allow the speakers to respond.\u00a0 OK, so Lyn?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Yes, first of all, on this whole problem that was presented; what he was presenting in the course of his blast. First of all, these considerations are really irrelevant; that is, the types of considerations that he has defined are absolutely irrelevant.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s based on an assumption which is a false assumption about the nature of mankind.\u00a0 Now actually, mankind is a unique specimen; unlike any other known living creature.\u00a0 Because only the human mind can create a new system of the physical system; and the physical system is to be determined by the action of the mental system.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the way science actually works.\u00a0 There are other interpretations, but they are mistaken.\u00a0 It is the human mind, and the human mind alone, that is capable of generating a new physical state in the practice of the Solar System or any other such system.\u00a0 Therefore, the idea of trying to make deductions from phenomena is a mistake.\u00a0 There are relationships of phenomena to these kinds of things, but they are understood only in terms of their being an effect; not as being a cause.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi, Lyn; this is D\u2014 from Montreal.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been a full-time member for five years.\u00a0 I just wanted to, based on what the organization has accomplished in terms of bringing people together in different parts of the world, bringing governments together; there was mention of the LaRouche Youth Movement, which to my knowledge was started in the year 2000 or something.\u00a0 And we&#8217;ve obviously observed that we&#8217;re not getting younger, and the LaRouche Youth Movement is gotten older; but there&#8217;s always a new generation.\u00a0 There&#8217;s always a new set of younger people.\u00a0 The idea of who will be the next LaRouche Youth Movement generation, or whatever metamorphosis that takes; if you could say something about that.\u00a0 And I just hearken back to what I know to be the history of when you started giving classes at Columbia University; where you were going to the school and actually addressing the students.\u00a0 But with the idea \u2014 and I would give credit to the person if I remembered who it was \u2014 the idea that although we&#8217;re organizing people and we&#8217;re organizing them; it&#8217;s as important to see the people we&#8217;re organizing as organizers. And rather than us organizing them, we&#8217;re a tool, we&#8217;re a resource that they can come to, to help them organize in the schools, etc.\u00a0 So, if you could say something on that.<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 It&#8217;s wrong; there are aspects to that thing that are relevant.\u00a0 But the principle that you present is wrong.\u00a0 The character is, the humanity of mankind, is that the human individual, who has a voluntary creative power, in order to understand processes, is the individual, who actually <i>efficiently<\/i>defines the destiny of the human species; not just in one person, but in terms, of the way of the practice of mankind among persons.\u00a0 The usual interpretation of cause and effect in human behavior is wrong; it is the human mind&#8217;s creative powers, and the human mind has a very specific kind of creative powers.\u00a0 And the creative powers of mankind are the source of the discovery of the principles of discovery, in themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, no; it doesn&#8217;t work.\u00a0 You get all kinds of recipes, all kinds of stories; but none of them really work when you go down and test the matter in detail.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 I&#8217;d just like to kind of bring up the subject of global warming and climate change.\u00a0 Just in this sense:\u00a0 I wonder if you, Mr. LaRouche, would agree that fossil fuels are comparatively \u2014 compared to where we are now \u2014 a very primitive form of energy generation.\u00a0 And that as the population of the Earth increases, it&#8217;s hardly better than burning wood; we will simply not be able to sustain an advancing scientific civilization based on burning fossil fuels.\u00a0 I think maybe you might agree with that, and that instead we have to look at the energy flux density; and say that we have to move on to something more advanced, such as nuclear fission, fusion, etc.\u00a0 And how about something like this?\u00a0 Pollution really is a big problem. Over there, they&#8217;re using coal fuels over in Beijing, and the smog is so horrible people can hardly live.\u00a0 So, we do need to move on to something more advanced.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 OK, so your question is about fossil fuels?<\/p>\n<p>Q: cont&#8217;d:\u00a0 Yes, but my other question is, can we avoid conflating that with this bizarre theory of global warming?\u00a0 In other words, even if global warming is false \u2014 which I believe it is \u2014 nevertheless, don&#8217;t we need to progress to higher forms of energy generation?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 No, that&#8217;s not the way it works.\u00a0 Take the case of human behavior first of all; and that simplifies what the issues are possibly.\u00a0 First of all, all creativity of mankind is generated from the primary source of the creative powers of the human individual; not from some external source.\u00a0 See, that&#8217;s what the difference is; what we call creativity in human behavior is the basis for the idea of what the principle of the human mind is.\u00a0 The human mind is driven by a noetic power; that is, a creative power which is independent of the individual per se. But which some individuals are capable of discovering and using to develop new things.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Einstein.\u00a0 Now, Einstein is the only man who has succeeded so far in the past 100 years, in really understanding what is the basis of human behavior.\u00a0 Einstein was unique in this respect; and in fact, in the recent 100 years, it has become obvious that he was right and the others were wrong. You see, the way society is organized, mankind is organized by mankind&#8217;s own actions; it is mankind&#8217;s generated actions that create the failures or successes of human behavior.\u00a0 It is not something which you accept and experience by something that flew by you.\u00a0 Very few people understand this; most people are wrong. They don&#8217;t understand how the human mind works.\u00a0 The human mind is a creative process which is unique; and it is the human mind&#8217;s insight to principles, the discoveries of principles by the human mind, which creates the progress of mankind.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Very good.\u00a0 That&#8217;s what I like to see; a man who&#8217;s been completely confused by the right answer.\u00a0 [laughter]\u00a0 We have another question over here.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Mr. LaRouche, I come from Queens.\u00a0 My question is, what is the future of magnetic energy?<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Negative energy?<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Magnetic energy.<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 This is not the way to look at it.\u00a0 Everything that mankind does, accomplishes, everything that mankind as a species does, which no animal does.\u00a0 See, no animal can replicate the role of the human mind; no animal can do that if the animal is functional.\u00a0 And in fact, all of the greatest creative forces in the history of mankind are governed by those principles.\u00a0 But the idea that you&#8217;re getting a practical approach to solutions is a mistake.\u00a0 For example, the other kind works; it bounces.\u00a0 You have people who are intrinsically themselves creative people; they discover principles.\u00a0 They discover the experience of a principle, which may be their own achievement.\u00a0 If they&#8217;re teased adequately, they will become more excited about what they have discovered; they will then turn around and try to lead an audience to recognize what they have discovered as a creative principle.\u00a0 Now it&#8217;s the people who think creatively, successfully, who actually make everything good about the human species; the others tend to be not so good.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi, Lyn.\u00a0 This is Ian Brinkley here, from Boston.\u00a0 I was just thinking about how you&#8217;ve been responding to some of the questions here this afternoon, and it made me think of a particular problem which everybody who tries to engage in effective political organizing runs into.\u00a0 Which is a certain kind of fear and anxiety which blocks the intention to convey a truthful idea when you see that you&#8217;re encountering an individual or a group of people who don&#8217;t understand something which they really need to understand.<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Yeah, most people have that problem; most people do have that problem.\u00a0 And when you want to find out where the solution comes to, you have to look at the one case which is the most brilliant case of all:\u00a0 Einstein.\u00a0 Every physicist except Einstein was wrong on the crucial issues.\u00a0 And only recently have people begun to admit that Einstein was right on the question of gravity.\u00a0 So therefore, what you&#8217;re talking about is a principle of gravity; and it&#8217;s a principle of gravity whose characteristic is that it&#8217;s peculiar to mankind.\u00a0 Einstein made discoveries which changed the course of the human species and change the course of history.\u00a0 His mind did it.\u00a0 It is the human mind, which when it is capable, which generates all of the great achievements of humanity.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s often a minority of the human species which has the power to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Q7:\u00a0 Hello, Lyndon; this is A\u2014 from Montreal.\u00a0 We all know that there&#8217;s a strong anti-growth movement; and they&#8217;re scared that if we use up all our material, we will gradually die.\u00a0 And we know \u2014 Jason Ross gave us a great presentation on how our creativity can actually create new resources; like before nuclear power, it was not readily available.\u00a0 We discovered that.\u00a0 But this anti-growth movement will tell us, &#8220;Well, maybe our creativity will fail at one point.\u00a0 Is there a limit to our creativity?\u00a0 Is there one point where we will not be able to discover new things to replace our new technologies?&#8221;\u00a0 To that, I usually answer, &#8220;Well, I prefer to believe that we will continue to discover; and I prefer not abandoning.&#8221;\u00a0 But I wanted to know what would you say?\u00a0 Do you have a better answer to that?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 I would say the point is, the truth of the matter is collectively, individually, all useful developments \u2014 expressions of the human mind \u2014 are peculiar to the human mind. Anything that&#8217;s valid, belongs to that category of human mind. Now what happens, this is not a perfect process; because you have a lot of people who make a lot of mistakes.\u00a0 So therefore, the answer is, the <i>effective result, the competent result<\/i>of the human mind&#8217;s work is to inspire a creativity which can be generated <i>only<\/i> by the human individual mind.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Let me just take a moment and ask if there&#8217;s anyone from the panel, who has anything that they want to add or say.<\/p>\n<p>JASON ROSS:\u00a0 I can say something; I hope you can hear me OK. One specific thing on \u2014 I&#8217;m at a real press conference, now. So, ladies and gentlemen, to answer the one thing about whether we&#8217;re going finish discovering things or not; I think that this goes to a theme that Mr. LaRouche has been bringing up a lot recently over the past couple of years.\u00a0 Which is the approach of Bertrand Russell, and the 1900 shift in science; where, away from discovering totally new things, the practice of science increasingly became \u2014 at least officially \u2014 put in terms of &#8220;Can you derive your new thought in terms of what we already know?&#8221;\u00a0 Where, what Russell tried to do in mathematics, to turn mathematics into logic, got also applied then to science in general.\u00a0 And the opportunity to say, &#8220;Hey, we just don&#8217;t know everything yet; there is more to know,&#8221; got put aside.\u00a0 Bertrand Russell had said in the 1890s, implicitly, that space couldn&#8217;t possibly be curved; and that properties of matter couldn&#8217;t be any different when you get into the very small.\u00a0 So, in the 1890s, he said that the big discoveries of the 1900s would never happen; he said that there couldn&#8217;t be a quantum, and that there couldn&#8217;t be relativity.<\/p>\n<p>So, in terms of the example of Einstein as having made a major discovery that overthrew what existed before; that didn&#8217;t add to it, but <i>overthrew<\/i> what had currently existed.\u00a0 I think what he did as a personality was very important for thinking through what should science be?<\/p>\n<p>KESHA ROGERS:\u00a0 I think what is important to think about in this discussion that we&#8217;re having right now is, that we&#8217;re not dealing with a practical political debate.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not about up and down votes, and opinions and whether or not you agree or disagree on a political view.\u00a0 But you have to understand that this conference and this panel in particular, is so important, there&#8217;s very dividing issues on this panel, because Mr. LaRouche had something much more fundamental, on the question of, this is a human debate!\u00a0 And I just think about the fact that you take Krafft Ehricke, and I mentioned him earlier, had a very profound concept of this idea of closed world system, versus an open world system.\u00a0 And right now we&#8217;re still debating and living in a closed world system, that cannot achieve the type of creative goals and breakthroughs, and which is necessary for mankind to foster its true creative potential.\u00a0 That&#8217;s what you have to get at.\u00a0 So if you don&#8217;t think your questions are being answered, it&#8217;s because you are still stuck in that closed system, and you have to get out of it! [applause]<\/p>\n<p>And so, when I called for a space \u2014 and I hope to accomplish this \u2014 an international space panel, I wanted to take up this very fight, this very question that doesn&#8217;t exist in our political arena right now!\u00a0 And I ask the scientists, where are the politicians?\u00a0 They are not responding to real science; that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m up here.\u00a0 That&#8217;s why Mr. LaRouche and I are collaborating and working on this fight.<\/p>\n<p>And so, just the last thing I want to say, is, Mr. LaRouche is bringing up the genius of Einstein, and he more recently talked about the creative genius of Brunelleschi, and I&#8217;d like for him to expound on that a little bit more.\u00a0 Because when we&#8217;re talking about the process of creating these new cities, beautiful cities, creating a commitment to space, I think that&#8217;s the example we have to use.\u00a0 And the point being, is, Mr. LaRouche is talking about fostering a conception which most people don&#8217;t think of, most people don&#8217;t think of themselves as having, which is, genius, being genius, creating genius, having your children become genius.\u00a0 You can&#8217;t do that in this society!\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t foster it.\u00a0 And we have to do that here, today. [applause]<\/p>\n<p>TOM WYSMULLER: I could piggyback on something Jason talked about.\u00a0 He talked about Bertrand Russell saying that basically most of the science is behind us.\u00a0 When Einstein applied for a job at the patent office, and he worked as a patent clerk for a while, his boss told him, &#8220;there&#8217;s no future here, because everything that&#8217;s going to be invented already has.&#8221;\u00a0 [laughter] So \u2014 that&#8217;s the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Now, these days, you&#8217;re hearing a lot of stuff on the climate, and I want to address one of the questioners, that &#8220;the science is settled&#8221;!\u00a0 Well, guess what?\u00a0 It&#8217;s <i>not<\/i> settled! We&#8217;re getting new data <i>every day<\/i> about climate!\u00a0 We&#8217;re learning things, we&#8217;re learning relationships that we didn&#8217;t know.\u00a0 And you need to<i>look at the data<\/i>.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s one of the things that NASA&#8217;s been pretty helpful in, is provided the data.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the people who are<i>interpreting it<\/i>, and saying that there&#8217;s no questions left to ask, that are on the wrong side of that issue.<\/p>\n<p>So, keep your minds open, keep your target toward Mars, and I do want to apologize:\u00a0 because I was trying to cut my presentation short, I didn&#8217;t tell you how to avoid the parking ticket.\u00a0 [laughter]\u00a0 But! What I have in the back window of my car is a sticker and it says, &#8220;Get Your Ass to Mars!&#8221;\u00a0 [laughter] I was overtime in a parking zone in New York City, they have alternate side of the street parking;\u00a0 and the policeman&#8217;s walking up behind the car, looks at the sticker; he&#8217;s about to write me a ticket.\u00a0 But then he engages in a conversation about it, and he finds out why I had the sticker there.\u00a0 And he didn&#8217;t give me a ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi, my name is A\u2014.\u00a0 I feel very honored to be here. I&#8217;m from Brooklyn.\u00a0 Something that I do want to say that&#8217;s always stuck very close to me, was, an instructor once said to me, while studying Buddhism, &#8220;to a beginner, there are many possibilities, but to an expert there are few.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m a beginner, and I&#8217;d like to keep a beginner&#8217;s mind. I know nothing; I come open, but something I did come to understand from NASA&#8217;s data, is that there is space junk.\u00a0 For the past 60 years, we have been throwing manmade junk into space. Is there a way to pick up where we left off and make use and harness this space junk?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Science.\u00a0 Actual, efficient science!\u00a0 And you may not be able to get a perfect correction of what the scientific principle is, but you can get closer and closer to it by experiencing your own errors, in judgment.<\/p>\n<p>But the point is, <i>nonetheless<\/i>, that it is the <i>human individual mind<\/i> which is the only competent authority for solving these problems.\u00a0 Now, some people are not as efficient in making these discoveries or development, but nonetheless, the human being is <i>not<\/i> an animal.\u00a0 And the usual interpretation of human behavior, is based on the presumption, that mankind is an animal.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s when the mistakes are made.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 I completely agree by the way, with Lyndon LaRouche about the human mind.\u00a0 But for the same reason, I don&#8217;t understand why such names is Tesla, for example, who is at least, maybe in my eyes the same level as Einstein; the great inventor of free energy.\u00a0 Nobody spoke about, by the way, nobody spoke about numerous free energies, carry energy; we never hear about it.\u00a0 The latest has to do with cold fusion and [inaudible 37.47] \u2014 you know, my memory&#8217;s not very good about it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a major breakthrough, but nobody mentioned it.\u00a0 And I don&#8217;t know why, because, although it&#8217;s not very widely publicized, but it&#8217;s accessible.\u00a0 I mean the majority of these guys\u00a0 \u2014 same destiny: two or three people appeared in the whole \u2014 [crosstalk] against the United States of America, and they can be put in prison unless they turn over the discoveries.\u00a0 [inaudible] turned over, and then they were closely watched and maybe something could happen to them.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Excuse I think we&#8217;re going to have to have your question repeated so we can all understand it.<\/p>\n<p>DIANE SARE:\u00a0 You&#8217;re asking about the cold fusion?<\/p>\n<p>Q: [follow-up] Cold fusion is not basically it, but that was not mentioned either.\u00a0 But there are so many new and newer inventions which were mentioned by LaRouche, and you know, people may believe that that&#8217;s all that&#8217;s available, that was presented<\/p>\n<p>SARE:\u00a0 I think he&#8217;s asking about many inventions that have been discovered but have not been made available because there&#8217;s a kind of Gestapo that prevents this from being allowed to be known.<\/p>\n<p>Is that the idea?\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Q: [follow-up] And among them is Tesla&#8217;s inventions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think in a functional way, this is not a proper question.\u00a0 But however, there are cases where the individual who&#8217;s trying to follow something, may not be able to make the efficient connection between the two facts of relationship.<\/p>\n<p>But all creativity, of mankind, that is of mankind as a social process, is based on a principle which is <i>unique to the human individual mind<\/i>.\u00a0 Now some people don&#8217;t have an adequate development, of the human mind, but if they&#8217;re educated properly they can.\u00a0 The case of Einstein is clear.\u00a0 Einstein is, as you know,\u00a0 an entire century has passed; Einstein has proven that his way of thinking, on the basis of <i>his way of thinking<\/i>, \u2014 not on the basis of some design, but on the basis of his way of thinking, made a discovery, which has proven and upset everybody.<\/p>\n<p>So the point is, you have to understand that the source of creative powers of the human individual, lies within the human individual <i>not<\/i> within that nature.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Let me say before we go to the next question; someone on the dais here, pointed out that questions begin with words like, &#8220;who, what, why&#8221; [laughter], &#8220;which?&#8221;\u00a0 You know, the problem of the age of Donald Trump has apparently visited the United States with a vengeance!\u00a0 So, please:\u00a0 Use the interrogative when you come to the microphone!\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Mr. LaRouche, my name is K\u2014 S\u2014, I&#8217;m from Baltimore, Maryland.\u00a0 I was really overwhelmed by [Egyptian Consul who spoke in the morning panel] Mr. Farouk, and, Egypt, and the way they handled getting into the Land-Bridge thing.\u00a0 Why can&#8217;t we do that as Americans?\u00a0 Start our <i>own<\/i> fund, instead of waiting for the United States to turn around and say, &#8220;let&#8217;s get on board?&#8221;\u00a0 Why can&#8217;t we do this like Egypt did [in financing the New Suez Canal] and tell the United States or our government to back out and let us just take it on ourselves?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Well, you know the problem is, most of the members of the establishment in the United States today, are crooks.\u00a0 And they have strong opinions!\u00a0 And they believe in those opinions, or they pretend to believe in those opinions. And they do it, and they&#8217;re scattered all over the place.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;ll need something a little bit better than that.\u00a0 And you&#8217;ve got to understand one thing:\u00a0 The question is, is the mind of a scientist \u2014 specifically a scientist \u2014 is the mind of a scientist, or an especially good scientist, is his opinion or her opinion, is it or is it not, the source of the discovery of a principle which is otherwise <i>not<\/i> discovered?\u00a0 That&#8217;s the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some people are better at that business and others are less good at that principle, but that&#8217;s the principle. The entirety of mankind&#8217;s success, as mankind, depends upon the creative powers, specific to some specific, individual human beings, \u2014\u00a0 or else they&#8217;re wrong!\u00a0 That&#8217;s your alternative.<\/p>\n<p>The medicine that is presented, is it correct or is it not? And all the important things in science, all the important things in human individual knowledge, depend upon the validity of these kinds of discoveries.\u00a0 Without that, maybe we&#8217;ll get accidentally lucky or something, that does happen;\u00a0 but the question is, when it comes to an actual principle, the creative principle, an efficiently creative principle, is actually generated<i>uniquely<\/i> by the mind of a human individual.\u00a0 Now that individual may make mistakes; but the question of that individual&#8217;s ability, to make a discovery of that type, is what&#8217;s crucial. And some people are good at it; some of them are not perfect at it.\u00a0 But the whole basis of the human process of human progress, depends upon that principle.\u00a0 Otherwise, you&#8217;ve got nothing but animals!<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 We have 15 minutes left for questions, so please be questionable.\u00a0 Try to state very clearly what is on your alleged mind.\u00a0 [laughter]<\/p>\n<p>Q: I&#8217;m very questionable.\u00a0 This is more of a social scientific question, I guess.\u00a0 We have many enemies to genius, and you&#8217;ve come up against your share in your lifetime, so I guess this is more of a social science question in terms of, do you have any insight, or principle we might use to overcome this fear-based life that we were brought up in? I mean, where we&#8217;ve seen genius thwarted time again.\u00a0 So we&#8217;re here to bring something home where we can begin to instigate change. Any insights on that?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 The only insight is, that the educational system of the United States is lousy.\u00a0 It could be improved!<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi, Mr. LaRouche, I&#8217;m A\u2014 S\u2014 from Baltimore, Maryland. I totally agree with your creative moment and the individual. What is your position on synchronization of individual creative effort [crosstalk] in terms of a mastermind community?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Oh, the problem is what happens is often we&#8217;ll find, we don&#8217;t know which end starts first sometimes.\u00a0 You sometimes get a child who turns out to be a genius, and that&#8217;s a discovery.\u00a0 And then you find somebody who is supposedly a leading scientist who&#8217;s a bum!\u00a0 So therefore, you have to understand that there are categories that you have to learn to be familiar with, in order to discern which person is probably likely right, or at least right to have an opinion.<\/p>\n<p>And that, the important thing, it&#8217;s very important for all mankind, to have access to human minds which are able to deliver maybe not just from the start, but from somewhere in the process; who are able to actually understand something which is tantamount to an original human principled discovery.\u00a0 That&#8217;s what the whole thing is based upon.\u00a0 That&#8217;s what every scientist does who&#8217;s competent.\u00a0 The scientist will work and sweat and do all these kinds of things they do, in order to achieve something which is truth.\u00a0 And what they&#8217;re trying to do is understand what the <i>truth<\/i> is of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>And the whole system, of success of society, and cultures as such, depends upon the ability of some people, to make progress in discovery of human principles, absolute human principles, which are uniquely human.\u00a0 In other words you cannot fake it; you cannot fake that. You cannot fake any kind of principle; you have to actually work, and fight your way through and find out, what the truth is.<\/p>\n<p>And Einstein, for example, is an ideal example of the kind of person in society, who is capable of making those kinds of discovered things.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Hey, Mr. LaRouche, my name is M\u2014.\u00a0 So, I just want to address some things that this gentleman said and a couple other people said, in regards to what&#8217;s kind of going on out there in the world.\u00a0 I do have a question, I just have a few statements beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Make them very few.<\/p>\n<p>Q: [follow-up] This lady here [rogers], I&#8217;m sorry I don&#8217;t know your name, on the panel.\u00a0 You&#8217;re beautiful.\u00a0 You said something along the lines of thinking outside the box, and we don&#8217;t want to get into this other stuff that&#8217;s going on.\u00a0 But the fact of the matter is, it&#8217;s real.\u00a0 There is a Gestapo like organization, there are these banks, there are these stuff going on, and in my humble opinion, I disagree that we shouldn&#8217;t be focussing on it, because I think it&#8217;s possible, and not just possible, I think it&#8217;s probable, that the fire out there, that these people, these greedy, corrupt, \u2014 I&#8217;ll just call it the fire \u2014 will eat us alive, and burn us alive before we have the chance to go out to Mars and do these things.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s just my opinion, I think we need to really focus on that.\u00a0 So my question is why would we <i>not<\/i> focus on that?\u00a0 Why would we not get down to the bottom of that and really address these criminals and these thugs?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Because the influence of the society&#8217;s culture, destroys the ability of the human being, the individual, in many cases, to be responsible.<\/p>\n<p>We should educate our people better and treat them more kindly.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Kesha has something she wants to say.<\/p>\n<p>ROGERS:\u00a0 Just quickly, in response to the young man&#8217;s question. I think the point is, we are addressing it. We&#8217;re addressing it directly and we&#8217;re going after the enemy of humanity and human progress, by getting you to first recognize that the threat is to your humanity.\u00a0 And yeah, the discussion has already been had, that we have a Wall Street criminal apparatus; the imperial powers of the London British Empire that stands in antithesis to that creative power and threat.<\/p>\n<p>So, until you&#8217;ve destroyed that, until you&#8217;ve rid society of that threat, but you have to know what you&#8217;re going to rid it with, which is, with this conception and understanding of who we are as human beings, you&#8217;re right, we do have a problem. [applause]<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi my name is R\u2014M\u2014 of Goshen, New York.\u00a0 I just wanted to ask you, if you could mention a few things on Louis Pasteur? On understanding and curing diseases and stuff?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 It&#8217;s a similar kind of thing.\u00a0 Louis Pasteur was a genius.\u00a0 He was a genius in terms of biology, and many other ways.\u00a0 He actually was very variegated, in terms of his disposition for discovery.\u00a0 And he&#8217;s really a great figure.\u00a0 And he&#8217;s a most honorable figure.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 I think you&#8217;re absolutely right, that people have to understand that even Einstein took a role of the threat of nuclear warfare, or warfare as such.\u00a0 And I think your comments of direction of learning what Einstein knew, I think that&#8217;s pretty much the aspect that I&#8217;m taking on, myself.\u00a0 So obviously, it&#8217;s a role that I think you&#8217;re playing very well.\u00a0 I wanted to see if you could promote in some way, or form \u2014 to tell people basically, this is the only way that mankind will save itself.<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Well, no, you know, I&#8217;ve had quite a history in my lifetime, coming from\u00a0 a fairly obscure background from military service, and going into all kinds of prestigious positions.\u00a0 And therefore, my family, my wife and others, represent a part of a circle which is very important, and which is quite valid and which is very influential in many parts of the planet.<\/p>\n<p>We have these skills, we don&#8217;t usually just go running around and talking about &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a skill, I&#8217;ve got a skill.&#8221; But you know that you have some skills, and you have proven them, as I have done many times.\u00a0 And therefore, when I say I know something and argue it, I&#8217;m not fooling around, I&#8217;m just stating that I know on the basis of proven facts.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s what I stick to.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m also quite a fighting person; I&#8217;m a little old now, for fighting purposes, but I have done a lot of that sort of thing, in terms of political terms.\u00a0 And this is part of what I do.<\/p>\n<p>But I know, from my own standpoint, that I know what I&#8217;m doing in terms of science, insofar as I present a claim on science, I&#8217;m correct, because I&#8217;m experience; and a lot of other people aren&#8217;t.\u00a0 So they should get some advantage in that.<\/p>\n<p>Q: It&#8217;s an honor to be here, and Mr. LaRouche, it&#8217;s an honor to get a chance to ask you a question.\u00a0 I&#8217;m from Boston, Mass., and my question is, how do we pursue new technology without losing the reliability of old technology?\u00a0 Because it seems like all around the world, people are kind of stuck in a comfort zone with things that they know work, and don&#8217;t necessarily make the leap to newer technologies because of the lack of understanding and the lack of reliability being that it&#8217;s new technology.<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 Your reference to a lazy mind, not coming up to a standard, is really the appropriate thing.\u00a0 People will say, &#8220;I feel more comfortable, with what I think and the smell I exude, than I would anything else.&#8221;\u00a0 And therefore they like to smell themselves and feel that that smell is the good smell; and they&#8217;ll just walk away from everything with that, without considering what the proper smell of the animal should have been. And if it runs into a skunk, well, that&#8217;s what the result is. [applause]<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 [laughs]\u00a0 We&#8217;re going to take a final question, and then ask for summaries from the panel. And then we&#8217;ll be concluding.\u00a0 Sir?<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Hi Lyn, how&#8217;re you?\u00a0 I have two questions:\u00a0 Number 1: Do you write your goals down with pen and paper? And number 2, would be: What are those goals that you still have left?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE:\u00a0 I do not.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t need to.\u00a0 If I thought I would, if there are occasions when somebody tries to give me a passage and essentially explain for it, then I&#8217;ll probably investigate and find out what the principle is.\u00a0 But in the normal course of events, no, I don&#8217;t have any problem with that.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 OK, let me ask if there&#8217;s any summary remarks?\u00a0 If anybody from the panel first of all, wants to say anything, and then we&#8217;ll go to Lyn.<\/p>\n<p>WYSMULLER:\u00a0 Kind of paraphrasing in answer to the young lady who said when she was young, everything was possible, and then as she got older she found it wasn&#8217;t.\u00a0 Well, the truth is, as you get wiser, you find out <i>again<\/i>, that there is much more to find out in the universe than you&#8217;ve ever dreamed of.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m going to\u00a0 close with a quote from Isaac Newton, I&#8217;m paraphrasing, but he said:\u00a0 My life has been like a child walking along the beach, picking up one colored rock of sand and examining it and finding out something about it; and then finding another \u2014 while the great ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me.<\/p>\n<p>We have a lot more to learn.\u00a0 We have a lot more to learn.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 OK Jason!\u00a0 OK Jason!\u00a0 [laughter]<\/p>\n<p>ROSS:\u00a0 Well, you know.\u00a0 To be honest, I didn&#8217;t have any \u2014 I had a lot of specific thoughts on some of the specific questions. The only general thing I think would make sense, I imagine as a contribution would be, that, it&#8217;s just really important to develop a culture in this way. I mean, this evening, we&#8217;re going to be having a panel on musical \u2014 what we typically call &#8220;culture.&#8221;\u00a0 Music, poetry, etc.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a culture to science. And it&#8217;s very easy to look at the fruits of science, or its effects, or what it does for you, and neglect the fact that there&#8217;s a whole culture to the practice of science:\u00a0 How did it get made?\u00a0 What were the people who figured things out like?\u00a0 How did they think?<\/p>\n<p>And I think that there&#8217;s as much\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 I won&#8217;t compare \u2014 there&#8217;s a great deal of beauty and insight that we can gather from that, just like we do with typical culture.\u00a0 And that we need to have both of those, culturally, living in us.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 Kesha?<\/p>\n<p>ROGERS:\u00a0 Well, I think I will end by saying that most of you came here today, because you know that our society is in grave danger, and we&#8217;re facing a grave threat to our existence as human beings, and want to do something about it.\u00a0 And so, I think if you take the discussion that we&#8217;ve had here today, and will continue to have, you know, this idea of fostering a Renaissance for mankind, what is the requirement of mind, to truly bring that about?\u00a0 And I think that \u2014 I just want to say that, for those of you who will be staying, and I encourage you to do so, the next panel discussion and presentations, gets at that very fundamental question.\u00a0 As we look at what is necessary to inspire beauty in our society, we have to actually rid ourselves of this \u2014 as Jason said \u2014 of this culture of degeneracy, of ugliness, and that&#8217;s why, when Mr. LaRouche brings up Einstein, you know, you think about, Einstein knew that the fostering of his creative mind was also the participation in the beauty of great art, of great Classical music.<\/p>\n<p>And the way that you dumb down a society is to take away that potential for what makes us human, what makes us beautiful. And so that&#8217;s what you should take from this conference.\u00a0 And be inspired to go out there and organize your communities.\u00a0 Because we have people represented here, of all different backgrounds, that in other countries, wouldn&#8217;t be sitting together at all! But we have a responsibility, here in the United States to foster something that is what the United States was actually organized and created around in the first place.\u00a0 What our Founding Fathers had intended.<\/p>\n<p>I was out in the hallway just a moment ago and someone said, &#8220;You know, it&#8217;s nice to hear all of this discussion about the great things that China and Russia, and various other countries are doing \u2014 but, you know, what about the United States?&#8221;\u00a0 Well, that&#8217;s up to you!\u00a0 What about the United States?\u00a0 What are we going to do?\u00a0 How&#8217;re we going to make the United States represent the greatness of who we are, as what we have fostered from the standpoint of, why China looked to the United States at one point in time as a great beacon of hope, under President Franklin Roosevelt?<\/p>\n<p>And so, the United States has to join in this new mission, as I said, in fostering this new Renaissance, and this has to be taken as something real in all of our minds. [applause]<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 So, Lyn do you have any final remarks?<\/p>\n<p>LAROUCHE: Just the fact that I&#8217;ve learned a little bit from what people do as opinions, again from this experience here; which is highly variegated, of course, in terms of the composition of the whole.\u00a0 But some people get really fretful, about protecting their something-or-other, and that is a little bit problematic at times. But I think it&#8217;ll clear its way out.<\/p>\n<p>SPEED:\u00a0 OK.\u00a0 I&#8217;d like to say to everyone that may be here for the first time, for some of you, who have never been in a dialogue with Lyndon LaRouche before:\u00a0 This is the LaRouche experience! [laughter, applause] He may not even like the fact that I call it that, but for those of us who&#8217;ve been doing this with Lyn for 45, or 46 years as I have, it&#8217;s always new, it&#8217;s always challenging; it&#8217;s always fun, and it&#8217;s always damned irritating.\u00a0 [laughter]<\/p>\n<p>That concludes our panel for now.<\/p>\n<p><hr class=\"shortcode-hr\"><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>What must be said in conclusion is that this conference marked a victory for an idea of Lyndon LaRouche&#8217;s: that of the Manhattan Project which he unveiled in October, 2014. Yet at that time, as Einstein famously wrote of Kepler in 1930 at the third centenary of his death, he was &#8220;supported by no one and understood by very few.&#8221; Lyndon LaRouche, the inventor of the Strategic Defense Initiative, and later the inventor, with his wife, of the Eurasian Land-Bridge, had once more invented a new and wholly different original idea. Again it has proven true.<\/p>\n<h2>Panel II<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"World Land Bridge &amp; Mankind&amp;apos;s True Humanity Panel II, Scientific Frontiers\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ysuQRLg6i3Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr class=\"shortcode-hr\">\n<h2>Panel III<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"World Land Bridge &amp; Mankind&amp;apos;s True Humanity Panel III Classical Culture\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h56VwMTzfQ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr class=\"shortcode-hr\">\n<div class=\"cta-small\"><h4>&lt;strong&gt;Manhattan Project&lt;\/strong&gt;<\/h4><p>&lt;strong&gt;Building a World Land-Bridge - Realizing Mankind&#039;s True Humanity&lt;\/strong&gt;<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"shortcode-hr\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Panel I Thursday&#8217;s Schiller Institute Conference in New York City, &#8220;Building a World Land-Bridge\u2014Realizing Mankind&#8217;s True Humanity,&#8221; marked a success for Lyndon LaRouche&#8217;s idea.
