News the Stars Bring Today

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
As I have mentioned before, I’m rather a newcomer to economics, even though I was a Philosophy major in college, and, I’m just trying to make some sense out of what’s coming out of the new administration, I checked in with La Rouche PAC. According to Mr. LaRouche, the President, in addition to having a Nero complex, is also surrounded by “behavioral economists (British trained vipers)…or Pavlovian/Skinnerian kooks…Summers delivers pleasure for the parasites, while inflicting the pain on the people.” Now, that is derived from the philosophy of John Locke who basically described the human being as a “beast driven by simple pain and pleasure.” On the other hand, according to East_West_Dialogue, “Leibniz’s conception (is) that, “The most perfect society is that whose purpose is the universal and supreme happiness,” and is the meaning of ``the pursuit of happiness’‘ in the opening of the Declaration of Independence, as well as its expression as the“General Welfare” clause in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.” Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton had opposing viewpoints: “Jefferson opposed Hamilton’s measures for the development of the nation.” Jefferson endorsed British empiricists Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Isaac Newton; He rejected national economic development through the increase of the productive powers of labor, and instead accepted Adam Smith’s free trade doctrines…He fought to keep the nation as a feudal plantation…The Eighteenth century was defined by the attempts of the financier oligarchy, or Venetian Party, then headquartered in England, to wipe out the modern nation-state.” This is what Obama agreed to at the G20 Summit.

These economic “kooks” include Cass Sunstein, Richard Thaler, Dan Ariely, and Daniel Kahneman, Larry Summers crony, and arch hedge fund swindler Andrei Shleifer, Peter Orszag whose consultancy caused Iceland’s bankruptcy, Orszag’s deputy Jeff Liebman of Harvard, Austan Goolsbee of the University of Chicago, Assistant Treasury Secretary nominee Alan Krueger of Princeton and several other key aides, Sunstein has been nominated to be Obama’s regulatory czar, and Harvard economist Sendhil Mullainthan. Quite a few of them are “Fabian Economists” as well. According to La Rouche, many, including Bill Moyers are calling for the firing of Summers, Obama’s chief financial adviser, because of “stories about Summers and Wall Street …(he) was intoxicated by the exotic witches’ brew of derivatives and other financial legerdemain that got us into such a fine mess in the first place.” Moyers is calling for a new “Pecora Commission”.

La Rouche states “The U.S. constitutional requirement for a form of regulated national economy, inheres in both the principle adopted, explicitly, from Gottfried Leibniz’s second attack on the British evil of John Locke, as Leibniz is echoed in the 1776 U.S. Declaration of Independence, and in the U.S. Federal Constitution’s same governing principle, that as expressed in its Preamble…President Obama has no authority to sell the people of the United States into slavery to a foreign imperial power. The first step which must be taken, is to warn President Obama that he has no right to sell the people of the United States to a foreign power, especially not to a British Empire against which the U.S.A. had had to fight, repeatedly, as in 1776, in 1812-1815, in 1861-1865, to gain and save our freedom from British rule since February 1763. In the 1970s, the United States was essentially raped by the British Empire and its Saudi allies, in the infamous petroleum crisis which the British and Saudi interests associated with Prince Bandar used to wreck the U.S. dollar, and to render the world subject to looting by the swindle known as the Anglo-Dutch-Saudi spot market in petroleum. No sane and literate American patriot would entrust our republic’s fate to a British empire.”

The main problem with Mr. La Rouche’s analysis is that he does not take into account that Obama was trained in the Saul Alinsky Industrial Foundation and may be very oblivious to securing any kind of economic recovery, but simply wants to use the “crisis” to bring down America. As was evident last week, when he made his subservient bow, “tabee”, to the King of Saudi Arabia, he may simply be an instrument for the “jihad.”
