I Stand at the Bedside of a Doomed Empire

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

The keynote address of Lyndon LaRouche, to the annual Presidents’ Day conference of the International Caucus of Labor Committees and Schiller Institute, Feb. 14, 2004. “If we can not change, if we select our choice of President, if we select our policies, now, in these weeks and months, the way things are going now, in general, this nation will not long survive. And either way, this system—that was consolidated, first in 1763, at the Treaty of Paris, proclaiming the victory, and establishment in fact, of a worldwide British Empire—has now come to its end. It will not survive. Either we will put it to a merciful conclusion, by a revival of the world economy, and bringing together a confederation of perfectly sovereign nation-states on this planet, around principles and issues of construction of the planet, and on promotion of development of the individual, within their national cultures, or we shall not survive.”
