How Fresnel and Ampère launched a scientific revolution
by Jonathan Tennenbaum
In France after 1815, the rules of the game are set, dualism and British “science” rule, and creativity is killed for good. At least, that is what the world looks like inside the system. But, we find a man in his thirties, a genius who sees science and poetry as an inseparable unity, and another man, in his twenties, who are ready to plunge joyfully into the unknowns of light and electromagnetism. They meet and work together, and break the rules of the game.
A presentation by Jonathan Tennenbaum on “The Drama of Cognition,” given to the Schiller Institute’s summer seminar in Oberwesel, Germany on July 24.

How to tell the future
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“Up to this point, but for relatively rare exceptions, virtually all academic economists and governments have thus shown themselves to have been consistently wrong, not only in their forecasts, but, more importantly, in their incompetent definition of the way in which a modern economy functions,” LaRouche writes.
“Now, when the onrushing doom of the present world’s financial system has become undeniable by all but those persons driven mad by this reality,... sane people will ask, ‘What is the correct method for forecasting, either a general financial crash, or an economic recovery from that crash?’
“You are right to insist, that other evidence, other than the simple fact that I have been proven expert in correctly forecasting such past developments, would be required to make my case. I summarize that other evidence here.”

War in the Caucasus is raging out of control
by Konstantin George
The London-centered British-American-Commonwealth faction of the financial oligarchy is intent on breaking up Russia, and thus, ruining the potential for a “Survivors’ Club” in Eurasia. The crisis could go nuclear, as some British strategists admit.
