We Need a Candidate in the Mold of FDR
Lyndon LaRouche has blunt words for the Presidential candidates and the Congress: "I have been totally right about the systemic nature of this collapse. All of the Presidential candidates have failed miserably, to date, to meet the standards required to solve this grave national and global crisis." He points out that "we are not living under normal conditions," and Congress is behaving like fools, worried "that their money will be cut off if they act in the genuine interest of the American people."
Economics
Congress `Surprised' by Crash
or Cowed by Hedge- Fund Money?
Political leaders who know better— because they have been briefed extensively on the financial blowout by LaRouche's associates—are paralyzed by a combination of political cowardice, and an attachment to the hedge fund/ private equity fund gang represented by Felix Rohatyn and George Shultz.

Music & Statecraft:
How Space Is Organized
By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. What is it that most physicists, even otherwise capable ones, fail to understand about the idea of spacetime? Without a Riemannian conception of a non-Euclidean physical geometry, they fall short, as did the otherwise able Hermann Minkowski. To understand why, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven prove very helpful! "The crucial central feature of the greatly needed reform in the definition of scientific knowledge," LaRouche writes, "must be premised on the actual inseparability of competent physical scientific method from the great musical reform by Johann Sebastian Bach."
