LaRouche Webcast: Six Months Into the Greatest Ever Financial Crash  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon LaRouche, in his keynote speech to a Jan. 17 webcast from Washington D.C., emphasized that the present crisis is not a mere financial crisis, nor a depression, but a global breakdown crisis, which, if not stopped, will radiate out from the Trans-Atlantic English-speaking community, “to bring every part of the world into a general breakdown of their respective social systems.” He characterized it as one of the most important moments in history since the 14th Century in Europe, with its new dark age, and said that none of the governments in existence today, has any efficient comprehension of measures to deal with this crisis. He asserted, however, that the crisis is manageable, and addressed the measures of control which the government of the United States and other governments must take now, if they’re going to save civilization, which he elaborated further in the question-and-answer period that followed.

Science & Religion: Life at an Atheist’s Funeral  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon LaRouche tears into the fraudulent notion that religious belief is merely an arbitrary assumption, as advanced by John Allen Paulos’ Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don’t Add Up. This, LaRouche says, is premised on “the assumption of a radically reductionist version of digital deductive-inductive methods, which have no agreement with the characteristics of the human species.”
