Will the United States be bombing Iran or in possession of Greenland by the time this article arrives in your email inbox? Both outcomes are possible today or in the coming days and weeks ahead.
On January 12, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social: “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING—TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”
President Trump told us that the reason “Putin invaded Ukraine” was because he didn’t “respect Joe Biden,” revealing why President Trump has been incapable of ending that war. Respect for Biden had nothing to do with it. Putin did not need to be threatened or bullied; Biden was doing exactly that with his sanctions and crazy anti-Putin rhetoric. Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine did not occur because Biden didn’t threaten Putin enough. It occurred because Biden and NATO were threatening Russia too much.
Trump presumes, as his mentor Roy Cohn taught him, everything is a deal. The world is a “hedonistic calculus” governed, as British pervert Jeremy Bentham argued, by Man’s bestial desire to seek out pleasure and avoid pain. If you can inflict enough pain, or threat of pain, or offer enough pleasure, or promise of pleasure, your subject will bend to your will.
This was the outlook expressed by Trump Advisor Stephen Miller with regard to Venezuela (We’ll run it because we can), and now by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (one of ours, all of yours) at a January 8 press conference in New York City, the day after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE Officer in Minnesota.
Martin Luther King, Jr., had he been President of the United States, as Lyndon LaRouche believed him qualified to have become, contrary to Donald Trump or Joe Biden, would have not only ended the Vietnam War, but would have also created the conditions for the end of all wars.
In his 1963 book of sermons, Strength To Love, Dr. King wrote: “Twenty-five years ago there were only three independent countries in the whole continent of Africa, but today thirty-two countries are independent. A short fifteen years ago the British Empire dominated more than 650,000,000 people in Asia and Africa, but today the number is less than 60,000,000. The Red Sea has opened. The oppressed masses in Asia and Africa have won their freedom from the Egypt of colonialism, and now move toward the promised land of economic and cultural stability. These peoples see the evils of colonialism and imperialism dead upon the seashore.”
Dr. King was not an “American civil rights leader,” but a universal thinker and a world citizen. He apprehended, as a principle of natural law flowing from the goodness of the Creator of the universe, that the “arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” He knew that the colonial system had to come to an end.
That end is nearer now more than ever, and the losing self-anointed elites are unleashing horrors around the world in an effort to terrorize the rest of us into submission. King has a chapter called, “Antidotes for Fear,” of which there are four, “Third,” he writes, “fear is mastered through love. The New Testament affirms, ‘There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.’ The kind of love which led Christ to a cross and kept Paul unembittered amid the angry torrents of persecution is not soft, anemic, and sentimental. Such love confronts evil without flinching and shows in our popular parlance an infinite capacity ‘to take it.’ Such love overcomes the world even from a rough-hewn cross across the skyline.”
In the true spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Lyndon LaRouche, and the framers of our Declaration of Independence, let us finally end the British Empire and liberate our nation from the beast-man identity that has been adopted by too many of our so-called leaders.
Africa is on the move; we should join them.
