The progressive changes come from the development of ideas and fundamental principles, and from the recognition of these by society. These, one will never find in the imperial press, though they form the foundation on which sovereignty is built and from which a new period of Renaissance may unfold.
Lyndon LaRouche and his associates are active throughout the world, with his wife working in Germany through the Schiller Institute that she founded. Of late, Lyndon LaRouche has become a teacher of statesmen around the world. He may also be one of the longest running candidates for the presidency of the country in which he was born, the United States of America, where he still resides.
Unfortunately, the fruits in this work come not without a steep price. In the course of his expositional work, Lyndon LaRouche touched upon many a sore spot of people in power, and as one might expect, he, and some his associates were railroaded into prison in a political witch-hunt. The case was a grotesque case of judicial injustice, of which the former Attorney General of the United States, Ramsey Clark said, that it "represented a broader range of deliberate cunning and systematic misconduct over a longer period of time utilizing the power of the federal government than any other prosecution by the U.S. government in my time or to my knowledge."*(The New Federalist, pamphlet Aug. 1995 - It didn't start with Waco, p.15) Such is the cost that society extracts from those who dare to hold high the banner of its liberty.
His voice, and that of his organization, is currently the only major opposition on the planet that humanity has produced to counter the imperial machine in a meaningful manner. Never has so minute an opposition in any form of government accomplished so much, with such few resources. It must be acknowledged, however, that other pioneers had suffered greater agonies for their efforts to oppose the structures of feudalism, and have endured longer periods in prisons, with many having lost their life in the process. Some, also, have won great victories for their people, as did Nelson Mandella in South Africa.
Lyndon LaRouche was freed on parole in January 1994 after 5 years in prison. His freedom was obtained in response to thousands of petitions by legal experts, legislators, and civil right leaders from around the world. His associates, however, remain currently incarcerated by the U.S. justice system on sentences ganging up to 77 years, while the petitions for a complete exoneration continue to be made by ever wider circles of people.
In a sense, the LaRouche case must be considered to represent a certain progress for mankind in the may mankind treats its pioneers. Christ Jesus was simply nailed to the cross for his work in uplifting humanity. Alexander Hamilton was murdered more craftily, in a duel, in which he was 'executed' by the traitor Aaron Burr. President Abraham Lincoln was bluntly shot to death for his work of uplifting and inspiring a nation, which work had frequently overturned the plans of the oligarchy. Presidents James Garfield (assassinated in 1881), William McKinley (assassinated in 1901), and John F. Kennedy (assassinated in 1963) were executed in a similar manner and for similar reasons in response to their efforts towards raising the status of humanity. Today's U.S. President William Clinton, who likewise has begun to challenge the power of the oligarchy, may be the world-record holder in slander and death threats received by any U.S. President in office.
Historically seen, Lyndon LaRouche and President William Clinton, share the honor of being the object of oligarchic slander with the late James Fenimore Copper, a patriot and and an author of more than forty novels, a man who grew up in the midst of the men of the American Revolution. Cooper's work became a corner-stone for the new republican movement of the mid 1800s, the second American Revolution as it were, out of which Abraham Lincoln came onto the scene. None-the-less, Cooper was reviled in the press, lied about, misquoted, and viscously persecuted by every poison pen or tongue the oligarchy could command. Lyndon LaRouche and President William Clinton suffer much the same treatment, today, as if nothing had changed over 150 years. In his days, Cooper remained undeterred. He fought his persecutors in the courts, and won, as the truth still amounted for something in those days. He wrote in 1838, "Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seen true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right, the wrong, and the wrong the right."*(James Fenimore Cooper, The American Democrat, 1838)
