The World Land-Bridge:
Rediscovering the Americas
by Dennis Small
A shorter version of this article will appear in the soon-to-be-published EIR Special Report on the World Land-Bridge.
Sept. 1—It was the revolutionary 15th-Century philosopher and founder of modern science, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, who played an instrumental role in the project that led to the 1492 ``discovery of the Americas'' by Christopher Columbus. Columbus was working from a map provided by Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli, who was closely associated with Cusa. It was also Cusa who famously wrote in his 1450 The Layman: About Mind: ``Mind is a living substance.... Its function in this body is to give it life and because of this it is called soul. Mind is a substantial form of power.'' If the Americas, like the rest of the world, are to be saved from the economic disintegration and New Dark Age now besetting them, it will have to be on the basis of rediscovering—and rebuilding—the hemisphere, based on applying that ``substantial form of power'' which Cusa invoked. That process is now underway with the momentous July 15-16, 2014 summits of the BRICS nations and Unasur, sparked by Argentina's courageous fight against the criminal vulture funds.
Under the current trans-Atlantic financial system, as distinct from the process initiated at those summits, the region, especially its youth, has no future, thanks to the British imperial policies of looting imposed by the IMF and Wall Street for decades.... |

- The World Land-Bridge:
Rediscovering the Americas
If the Americas, like the rest of the world, are to be saved from the economic disintegration and New Dark Age now besetting them, it will have to be on the basis of rediscovering—and rebuilding—the hemisphere, by mankind's applying the cognitive powers that Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, in the 15th Century, called 'a substantial form of power.' That process is now underway with the July 15-16, 2014 summits of the BRICS countries and the Union of South American Nations, sparked by Argentina's courageous fight against the criminal vulture funds. Dennis Small gives an overview of the most important development projects required in Central and South America.

The Shadows which the Future Casts upon the Present
Megan Beets offers 'some thoughts on the unique functions of the human mind per se, which is not a derivative of man's biology, but which is, rather, a derivative of the unique and very lawful creative function of the mind, which we see reflected in the universe around us, and in which the human mind uniquely, as far as we know, participates.'
