Chapter 8 - Spirituality with Lyndon LaRoucheWhen Lyndon LaRouche calls for convening a New Bretton Woods conference, he is looking for a world-wide agreement on the setting of fixed international exchange rates in order to create a stable financial platform that is essential for long term development. Such a world-wide agreement is necessary for shutting down the current orgy in international currency speculation that is destroying the value of national currencies. The New Bretton Woods system that he speaks of also includes the nationalization of the U.S. Federal Reserve by which the nation's money supply would be put back into the hands of the nation. Without these two moves, Lyndon LaRouche warns, no meaningful development of any kind can take place on this planet, or a stable currency be established. The two aspects, stability and development, are really a single unit. Neither aspect can exist in isolation. There is no stability without development, nor development without stability. The existence of such interrelationships had been recognized over a hundred years ago in a different context, by Mary Baker Eddy. Lyndon LaRouche has recognized the same phenomenon in the economic and political arena. Nothing can be repaired on the international economic scene until the money supply of at least the world's largest economic block is taken out of the hands of the financial manipulators and speculators. Whatever is build on imperial ideology and processes cannot be made a foundation for stability, no matter how hard one may wish this, as the imperial mode of operation is designed to create instability for easy exploitation, and to destabilize nations by which the Empire gains control over them. If the two steps outlined in LaRouche's New Bretton Woods proposal cannot be accomplished, the presently collapsing world-financial system will continue to collapse until it disintegrates. A system that has become self-destructive cannot be saved unless its nature is changed. However, if the two essential steps for stability and development can be achieved, a new environment becomes established in which the steam-rolling train of disaster can be derailed that has wreaked havoc in the world since the Specie Resumption Act was passed in the U.S. in the late 1800s. In this case a whole new era of stability and productivity will be ushered in. Currently, the speculators steal from each other as they trade illusions for money while passing the same financial instruments to each other at ever higher prices until the game stops. In this process of trading nothing is ever produced while the valuations keep rising and the nation's investment resources are drained from the productive economy into the mythological sphere of the easy money treadmill. Only when the counterproductive processes become shut down, will the society find the funds again, and the incentive, to pursue productive processes with which to enrich itself. This type of direct investment into the realization of the society's productive potential, can be seen as analogous to the pouring in of "oil and wine" into the wounds of society's needs. LaRouche specific call for a New Bretton Woods type conference was apparently not issued because the previous Bretton Woods system had offered an ideal solution, which it did not. This system had lacked many essential elements by which it was doomed to fail from the outset. Rather, the call for a New Bretton Woods conference was issued, because the bankers and politicians around the world know what this type of system represents in a broad sense, how it basically should have worked, which sets the stage for a useful starting point. Nor would any convened New Bretton Woods conference likely go far enough, even if it includes the nationalization of the U.S. Federal Reserve, because in order to provide complete stability in the financial world the entire oligarchic system needs to be shut down that drives the speculative binge today, as well as the entire U.N. dictatorship apparatus that represents and supports the oligarchic structures, both of which have deeply injured humanity. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
