A Lesson from Wilhelm Furtwängler: The World’s Breakdown-Crisis Is Now  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

This report provides the context for, and introduces the three elements of a thoroughgoing exploration of what is properly termed the “Furtwängler Principle,” which immediately follow it. Furtwängler, he writes, opened “the proverbial ‘gates’ to the needed matters of physical science.”

The Furtwängler Principle: Defying the Slavery of Sense-Certainty

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., Matthew Ogden, Jason Ross, and Ben Deniston

The first in a trilogy of in-depth discussions on the LaRouche PAC Weekly Report, with colleagues Matthew Ogden, Jason Ross, and Ben Deniston. This, from May 23, looks at what LaRouche describes as “one of the greatest accomplishments in science in the past century or so.”

Creativity: Looking Toward the Future

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., Matthew Ogden, and Jason Ross

Part two of the trilogy, May 30, in which the music of Bach and Furtwängler is explored as “physical principles of the human mind.”

The End of Britain’s ‘Bail-Out’  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“Without an immediate installation, by political force of leading nations, of a trans-Atlantic equivalent of President Franklin Roosevelt’s original ‘Glass-Steagall’ law, the nations of western and central Europe (and others) will become virtually ‘far worse than merely financially extinct’ during the presently onrushing collapse already underway,” LaRouche writes.

Spain Forced To Seek Bailout; Glass-Steagall Push Intensifies

by Nancy Spannaus

The announced, but yet-to-be disbursed, bailout of Spain’s hopelessly bankrupt banks, will do nothing to resolve the crisis overtaking the entire trans-Atlantic financial system.

Pressure Builds To Throw Obama Out of Office Now!  

National security leaks from within the Administration are under investigation; Attorney General Holder faces contempt of Congress; Obama’s macabre “kill list”—all this and more, prompted Lyndon LaRouche’s observation that “Obama is on the edge of being finished.”

The LaRouche Slate: Glass-Steagall Put Back on the Agenda

by Harley Schlanger

LaRouche Democrat Kesha Rogers’ victory in the Democratic primary for Congress in Texas, and Diane Sare’s campaign in New Jersey, combined with the multi-billion-dollar derivatives loss by JPMorgan Chase, and the collapse of the banks of the Eurozone, have put the issue of restoring Glass-Steagall back on the front burner for the U.S. Congress.
