What do people think of Lynden LaRouche,? and would he be a good President?, page 1

I decided to write this email to attempt to relate to you all what the Larouche movement is really about.. I am doing this because, without standing to gain anything, I truly believe in many of the principles and ideas they represent. I think they offer a few things that are not only important, but very rarely found in the sorts of sources most of us come across. Those sources tend to be very pessimistic, and do not inspire hope for the future, nor appropriate action. I am also aware that there is much controversy and disinformation out there which I think unfairly defames the movement. I suppose it is understandable if that which poses a serious threat to those in power will be attacked the most harshly by the media/legal system they control.

I will attempt to give you an idea of what the Larouche movement is trying to accomplish. this is a sophisticated, intellectual, and philosophical movement. Currently, it's intelligence arm is perhaps the best of any private agency in the world. It spans 5 continents, and is truly international in scope. The goal is to defeat 'free trade,' 'globalization' pushing, anglo-dutch-saudi liberal financial cartels which are causing this crisis; and replace them with a community of principle among sovereign nations, with a fixed exchange system, leading to a promotion of the general welfare of the people so that a modern renaissance can pull the world out of a decent into a dark age collapse. They work to interact at all levels, including the governments of the most powerful countries to implement policies that will free nations and their citizens from slavery and economic collapse (in different forms and degrees in different regions) to which it is bound.

Their view is that for hundreds, even thousands of years, there has been a struggle going on between the ruling class - proponents of the system which is empirical in nature.. From Babylon to Egypt, Rome, and now the British empire - history has repeated itself. We have seen this system of empire, colonialism, and oppression many times. Scientifically, physically and economically, the oligarchs, aristocrats, plutocrats, conquerors, emperors, and monarchs have controlled the masses, and manipulated everything they could to increase their control and wealth at the expense of the population. Larouche is the most learned human being I know of on the topic of history, and I think his insight is most informed and brilliant. He points out the fact that history tells us where we came from, and where we are going. He points out the important breakthroughs and setbacks in the fight against the tyranny that is the predatory system of empire. He gives credit to the great thinkers and revolutionaries of physical science and philosophy that have risked their lives to create and protect the vision of a free nation-state system which can end the tyranny of empire.

What Larouche proposes, is to follow in the footsteps of the greatest empire slayers of history. This is in the tradition of the American and French revolutions, which didn't quite stick, and were ultimately subverted and killed. Luckily, their ideas live on! America was founded upon the purest of principles. It represented a rejection of the neo-feudalistic 'free trade system.' The American system, was created with emphasis on infrastructure and science. The great idea was to build a network of nations, which did not have to pay tax to the British maritime empire, which controlled the trade networks and finance. A system which was not monopolized by the British controlled, and inefficient naval shipping system for trade. Instead, America built an inter-oceanic railway system. The effect of this was that every city that linked to this rail system was directly connected to every other city on that rail. Imagine if every city in the world was hooked up to this 'internet' of trade! It would break the control over global commerce which could previously only be done by sea.
