Poetry Must Supersede Insanity in Politics

“Poets, according to the circumstances of the age and nation in which they appeared, were called, in the earlier epochs of the world, legislators, or prophets: a poet essentially comprises and unites both these characters. For he not only beholds intensely the present as it is, and discovers those laws according to which present things ought to be ordered, but he beholds the future in the present.” Percy Shelley’s intended conception, taken from this passage of his seminal work “A Defense of Poetry,” is essential to understand the difference between “beast-man” hyperbolic, bombastic and untrue usages of speech addressed to the nations of the world, or to one’s own nation, and the art of statecraft as expressed in the United States’ Declaration of Independence, Preamble to the Constitution, and the widely distributed and read discussion documents known as the Federalist Papers. 

On Monday night, LaRouche Independent Presidential Candidate Diane Sare anticipated President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address. She delivered a report befitting a nation in crisis, and which requires someone prepared to exert Presidential authority on behalf of the actual Constitution of the United States, particularly its Preamble’s statement of purpose, and its “General Welfare” clause. That speech reassured many nations witnessing the unacknowledged but obvious physical decomposition of the nations, as well as the mound-set, of the trans-Atlantic leadership class, now fast being re-branded “the Epstein class” or “the Epstein elite.” 

Scores of officials are now under scrutiny, and if justice is served—which will require clearing out the Department of Justice—hundreds, if not thousands of people in the United States and Europe will be deposed. Such a result will be brought about none too soon. Without such a clean-out, the United States—which has since the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy functioned with a decapitated Presidential system—has acted, in its self-destructive foreign policy, as a mere gun-boat sailing in the wake of a British imperial battleship. If the Epstein class is not removed, it will careen the world into a thermonuclear showdown probably leading to a thermonuclear exchange

Sunday’s emergency meeting of the Vega For Congress campaign, featuring Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity co-founder Ray McGovern, LaRouche Independent Presidential candidate Diane Sare, and journalist Garland Nixon, provided to Americans an otherwise unavailable, competent analysis of the nuclear danger implicit in the coming war with Iran. Only hours later, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement, partially saying that “British and French authorities have deemed it feasible to facilitate Ukraine’s acquisition of a powerful bargaining chip to enable Kiev to demand an end to hostilities on more favourable terms. According to SVR intelligence, the plans involve, at minimum, a dirty bomb, though serious consideration is also being given to full-fledged nuclear weapons, including delivery systems. London and Paris are already actively addressing logistical matters, including the covert transfer of European components, equipment, and technologies to Ukraine. This shows the prescience, and the importance, of the actions of the LaRouche Organization, and of its publication, Executive Intelligence Review.  On Monday May 2, EIR will sponsor an emergency forum, “Epstein and the Bottomless Depravity of the “Elites”—Urgent Need for a Cultural Renaissance!”
