One Generation Hence

Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—In the memory of the great scientist Lyndon LaRouche, who would have turned 97 years of age today, let us begin to approach the question of the future role of today’s youth in the world renewal over the coming quarter-century, in which mankind will master controlled fusion energy and begin the first human settlements beyond Earth, among other noble achievements.

Let us examine the case of U.S. youth from this standpoint, by going back to the population and labor-force bar-graphs with which LaRouche frequently began his one-semester political economy course during the 1970s.  If we project that the U.S. population rises to 400 million by 2050, we might assume that about one-quarter will be under age 16, leaving a working-age population, in that sense, of about 300 million.

Applying a labor-force participation rate of, say, 63%, yields a labor-force of about 190 million.

LaRouche has said that the proportion of the labor-force engaged in R&D must rise up above 5%, or in this case for 2050, attain and surpass 9.5 million men and women.  Although there may be no present-day statistics for ready comparison (because of some current over-broad definitions of R&D), it is clear that a scientific and engineering workforce of that size, wrestling with the problems of fusion energy, space travel, and optical biophysics and medicine, would mean a total revolution in science and society.

Lyndon LaRouche never ceased to write about the education required for creative scientists. Now at last his ideas will be applied on the appropriate enormous scale.

The same total revolution may be seen perhaps more clearly in the “productive operatives” category of total employment, including operatives in manufacturing, mining, transportation, utilities, construction and agriculture.  Roughly speaking, this is the blue-collar workforce.  LaRouche has said this category must comprise 50% of the workforce, or, in this case for 2050, some 95 million men and women.  Today the U.S. has at most 20 million, after the long downslide beginning with the death of Franklin Roosevelt.  Instead, the great majority of its workforce is overhead—and most of it unnecessary overhead.

For 2050, this will be an enormous shift from unnecessary sales and clerical employment, including the all-devouring “FIRE,” or finance, insurance and real-estate.  Add in the shift, not just from unemployment, but also from underemployment, in which the worker’s skills are unused or barely used.

But additionally, recall that neither this huge change-over into R&D, nor the numerically much greater shift from unproductive into productive employment, will take place at the level of today’s 2019 economy.  They will occur in an economy which is taking off into the exploration of space and the mastery of fusion power and optical biophysics, as LaRouche has specified.  Millions of Americans, including today’s youth and their elders and juniors, will have to master new knowledge at a rate probably never seen in history, including areas of knowledge for which we may still lack names today.  Not only the scientists and engineers, but the blue-collar workers as well.

Now you begin to see the magnitude of some of the little-understood problems faced. The U.S. will need the equivalent of Roosevelt’s CCC camps to teach those, especially youth, who may today be unemployable.  In the ’30s, the CCC camps had to help them overcome malnourishment and attendant ill-health, along with illiteracy and other problems.  Today we must add the massive problems of drug use, asocial internet addiction and other mental-cultural illnesses.  Our approach will necessarily be different, even if the problem is related.  But that is only a mere beginning.

Tens of millions will have to be assimilated into a blue-collar workforce which is already routinely using “3D printing,” as it speeds far beyond that level.  Some have studied the relation between two-year colleges oriented in this direction, with vocational training.  President Donald Trump has asked the help of the German government to bring the German apprenticeship programs to the United States, as have the leaders of many nations.

Down at the public-school level, the U.S.’s abysmal, totally algebraicized so-called education (a consumer fraud), must be replaced by a combination of “hard sciences,” properly approached, with the classics.

Here, the “Robotics Clubs” which today’s NASA has found to be a fertile field for recruitment of youth, and the “Fab Labs” (fabrication labs) which offer youth the opportunity to use the most modern machine-tools as they qualify themselves point towards the freedom to solve problems in a fresh, original way, rather than the deadly preoccupation with pre-standardized, cut-and-paste methodologies which helps make U.S. public schools such a disaster area.

In this connection, remember those heroes of the American space program who made repeated and far-reaching contributions even though they had no advanced degree—no credentials.  NASA’s great designer Max Faget, who designed the Mercury spacecraft and much of the Gemini and Apollo—and much else—with only a Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana State.  And Max Faget’s top assistant for decades, Caldwell C. (“CC”) Johnson, who grew up in the Tidewater of Virginia.  His model airplanes so impressed the engineers at NASA’s predecessor agency in Langley, that they hired him out of high school and never came to regret it.

“Astronautix.com” records that “When the time came to design the Mercury and Apollo spacecraft, Caldwell [Johnson] was an indispensable part of the team that established the designs that were dictated to the contractors and flew in space.  It was Caldwell who established the basic layout of America’s spacecraft, and Caldwell who came up with the rounded mold line of the Apollo capsule so that it would easily fair into whatever diameter cylindrical service module was ever settled on.”

This is a line that goes back to those stellar geniuses the Wright brothers, and forward to Lyndon LaRouche.  Heroes for youth, and deservedly so, who light their path into the future.

SCIENCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Modi Urges India’s Space Scientists To Stay Steady and Look Ahead, the Best Is Yet To Come

Sept. 7 (EIRNS)—Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at Mission Control of the India Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the descent of India’s lunar lander, Vikram, when all communication with the lander was lost just minutes before it was to complete its soft landing at the South Pole, where no country had gone before. Some six hours later, Modi was back at Mission Control, to address the Chandrayaan-2 team and the nation. The Prime Minister spoke to the sober-faced team, his encouragement and leadership awakening some smiles, and occasional applause. One such moment of applause followed his spirited reminder that “the best is yet to come in our science program”; another, to his reminder that “India is with you.”

After he spoke, the Prime Minister walked up and down the rows of computer consoles and standing people, proudly shaking the hand of every scientist, technician and engineer present.

Modi spoke mostly in Hindi, with the following section in the middle in English, reproduced here in its entirety:

“Sisters and brothers of India, my scientists friends, for the last few hours the entire nation was awake. We were awake in solidarity. In solidarity with our scientists who had embarked on one of the most ambitious missions of our space programs.

“We came very close, but we will need to cover more ground in the times to come. Every Indian is filled with a spirit of pride as well as confidence. We are proud our space program and scientists, their hard work and determination. [They] ensure a better life, not only for our citizens, but also for other nations.

“It is the outcome of their innovative dream that several people have got access to abetter quality of life, including better healthcare and education facilities. India is certain that there will be many more opportunities to be proud and rejoice. Thanks.

“At the same time, we are full of confidence that when it comes to our space program, the best is yet to come.”

“There are new frontiers to discover and new places to go. We will rise to the occasion and scale newer heights of success.

“To our scientists I want to say, India is with you. You are exceptional professionals who have made an incredible contribution to national progress. You have given your best always, and will give us several more opportunities to smile.

“True to your nature, you entered into a place where no one has ever been before. You came, as close as you could. Stay steady and look ahead. I also salute the families of our space scientists. Their silent but valuable support remains a major asset.

“Sisters and brothers of India, resilience and tenacity are central to India’s ethos. In our glorious history of thousands of years we have faced moments that may have slowed us, but they have never crushed our spirit. We have bounced back again, and gone on to do spectacular things. This is the reason our civilization stands tall.

“My dear friends, as important as the final result, is the journey and the effort. I can proudly say that the effort was worth it, and so was the journey. Our team worked hard, traveled far and those teachings will always remain with us. We will look back at the journey and effort with great satisfaction. The learnings from today will make us stronger and better. There will be a new dawn and a brighter tomorrow very soon.”

Chandrayaan-2’s Orbiter Continues India’s Bold Lunar Mission

Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman Dr. K. Sivan reported today that Chandrayaan-2’s orbiter had located the Vikram lunar lander on the Moon’s surface. ISRO scientists will attempt to reestablish communication with Vikram during the next 14 sunlit Earth days.

The Chandrayaan-2 mission is far from a failure. ISRO emphasized in its latest update, issued yesterday, that “90% to 95% of the mission objectives have been accomplished and will continue to contribute to lunar science, notwithstanding the loss of communication with the lander.” The orbiter is performing well, and has sufficient fuel to function for far longer than its original projected life of one year. ISRO scientists now estimated it could function for as long as 7.5 years, because its fuel has been used economically.

That ISRO update pointed to the boldness of the mission:

“Chandrayaan-2 mission was a highly complex mission, which represented a significant technological leap compared to the previous missions of ISRO, which brought together an Orbiter, Lander and Rover to explore the unexplored South Pole of the Moon.

“Since the launch of Chandrayaan-2 on July 22, 2019, not only India but the whole world watched its progress from one phase to the next with great expectations and excitement. This was a unique mission which aimed at studying not just one area of the Moon but all the areas, combining the exosphere, the surface as well as the sub-surface of the Moon in a single mission.

“The Orbiter has already been placed in its intended orbit around the Moon and shall enrich our understanding of the Moon’s evolution and mapping of the minerals and water molecules in the Polar Regions, using its eight state-of-the-art scientific instruments. The Orbiter camera is the highest resolution camera (0.3m) in any lunar mission so far and shall provide high resolution images which will be immensely useful to the global scientific community….

“The Vikram Lander followed the planned descent trajectory from its orbit of 35 km to just below 2 km above the surface. All the systems and sensors of the Lander functioned excellently until this point and proved many new technologies such as variable thrust propulsion technology used in the Lander….”

As Indian media have pointed out, according to NASA’s “Moon Fact Sheet,” of the 109 lunar missions since 1958, only 60% have been fully successful.

NASA tweeted its respect for ISRO’s endeavor on Sept. 7:

“Space is hard. We commend ISRO’s attempt to land their #Chandrayaan2 mission on the Moon’s South Pole. You have inspired us with your journey and look forward to future opportunities to explore our solar system together.”

STRATEGIC WAR DANGER

U.S. Defense Secretary Pays Homage to British Empire

Sept. 6 (EIRNS)—Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, in what is being billed as his first major policy speech since taking office, seems to be consciously repeating history rather than creating a new future. Before an audience at the British Empire’s premier military think tank, the Royal United Services Institute, Esper compared 2019 to 1973, when the U.S. Army had just finished pulling out of Vietnam and was studying the conduct of the October 1973 Arab-Israeli war to draw conclusions about how to reorient itself back to the Cold War against the Soviet Union. “Today, we find ourselves in a situation very similar to that of 1973; one where the hard-fought battles of the past 18 years have come at the expense of preparing for those of the future,” he said. “Our strategic competitors, namely Russia and China, have capitalized on this period, also learning lessons from studying U.S. military operations over the years.”

“It is increasingly clear that Russia and China want to disrupt the international order by gaining a veto over other nations’ economic, diplomatic, and security decisions,” Esper continued. “And as was the case 45 years ago, we cannot stand idly by while authoritarian nations attempt to reshape the global security environment to their favor at the expense of others. Doing so would invite continued aggression and diminish our ability to deter future conflicts.”

While Esper acknowledged the alleged threat of Russian aggression, he devoted the bulk of his enemy-image mongering to China, taking particular aim at the China’s Belt and Road Initiative. “What are initially presented as reasonable investments by the P.R.C. to build ports, facilities, and other infrastructure, end up coming with some significant strings attached,” he said, spreading the myth of the Chinese debt trap. “The more dependent a country becomes on Chinese investment and trade, the more susceptible they are to coercion and retribution when they act outside of Beijing’s wishes.” Esper also used the alleged mistreatment of the Uighurs in Xinjiang province and the protesters in Hong Kong to present a frightening image of what the world would supposedly look like if it were dominated by Beijing.

Given the venue for Esper’s speech, he couldn’t close without paying homage to Winston Churchill and his 1946 Fulton, Missouri speech in which he both warned against the “Iron Curtain” that had allegedly “descended across the Continent” of Europe and also spoke of the “special relationship” between the U.S. and the U.K. “That ‘special relationship’ remains just as vital today as it was when Churchill first coined the phrase,” Esper said. “I am confident that we will continue to work closely together to maintain the freedoms we worked so hard to achieve.”

Mogul Jimmy Lai Confesses, Hong Kong Color Revolution Is About Bringing Down Xi Jinping

Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—Jimmy Lai, the Hong Kong mogul who has served the neocons in the U.S. and U.K. in financing and sponsoring the Hong Kong riots both in 2014 and today, was interviewed on Fox Business News by Maria Bartiromo on Sept. 6, making it very clear that the target of the color revolution ongoing in Hong Kong is not ultimately Hong Kong alone, but China as a whole, and bringing down President Xi Jinping in particular.

Lai met with Paul Wolfowitz in 2014 to coordinate the “Occupy Central” (“umbrella revolution”) movement at that time, and this year met with Vice President Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo and John Bolton (and others of the neocon circle) in Washington to orchestrate the violent riots in Hong Kong (euphemistically known as “peaceful democracy protests”). On the Fox show, Lai started with his normal lie that “democratic Hong Kong” is threatened by the encroachment of Beijing, destroying the “rule of law.” Then he let it all out—Xi Jinping is the source of the problem, he said, but Xi will not realize his dream of being “dictator for life.”

“He brought all the power to himself,” Lai said, “but that means he brought all the accountability to himself, and now he is in big trouble. The economy is in big trouble. His own party’s power struggle is very severe. A lot of people lost their jobs. Young graduates can’t find jobs.

“Xi Jinping is the most absolutist dictatorship in all of human history,” Lai ranted, explaining that it is largely due to facial recognition technology. “They know everything you do. If you do something wrong, they won’t allow you to open a bank account, or buy an airplane ticket…. People have never had such suppression. The resistance is now suppressed, but if the economy goes down, this emotion can explode. A big problem for China.”

Bartiromo began the interview by announcing that Fitch Ratings—the economic-hitman operation and part of the imperial color revolution team in the City of London and Wall Street—had downgraded Hong Kong. Fitch did so openly on political grounds, asserting that Hong Kong is at greater financial risk, not because of social unrest, but because it is becoming more integrated into China’s national governance system.

Ukraine and Russia Complete Prisoner Swap

Sept. 7 (EIRNS)—In a breakthrough in Russian-Ukrainian relations, a prisoner swap between Moscow and Kiev was completed today involving 35 prisoners on each side. A Russian Tu-204 airliner carrying 35 Russians who had been imprisoned in Ukraine landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport at 1:26 p.m. Moscow time (UTC+3), while at virtually the same time, a Ukrainian An-148 aircraft carrying 35 Ukrainians, including the 24 Ukrainian sailors who were detained in Russia following the Kerch Strait incident last November, who had been imprisoned in Russia, landed at Boryspil Airport outside Kiev, where they were met by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and their families.

Zelensky said, that with the prisoner swap, the first stage of agreement between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin had been fulfilled. “I must confirm that I, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin have done everything we promised, without changing our agreements along the way,” he said, according to Interfax Ukraine. “I’m sure we know what to do next…. Next, we will be moving towards the return of all our prisoners and continue the troop withdrawal within the Minsk process in two stages: Zolote, Petrovske [two contested locations in Luhansk] first, and then withdrawal throughout the entire territory and already a full ceasefire and an end to the war,” Zelensky emphasized.

From the Russian side, Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova also confirmed that the swap had been completed. She hailed the event as “a historical mass-scale humanitarian action,” confirming the swap was “35-for-35.” RT reports that the exchange was the result of months of painstaking negotiations at various levels, even rising to the level of the two Presidents on occasion. There were some “provocations” and other challenges throughout the talks, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. But in the end, “the political will and meticulous work delivers results.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also weighed in, saying that Moscow is “pleased that Russian citizens have returned home.”

President Donald Trump welcomed the prisoner exchange, tweeting: “Russia and Ukraine just swapped large numbers of prisoners. Very good news, perhaps a first giant step to peace. Congratulations to both countries!”

U.S. POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC

Former FBI Head Robert Mueller Called Out on Coverup of 9/11 Murders in New York Post

Sept. 8 (EIRNS)—In a dynamite article in the New York Post, Paul Sperry goes after former FBI Director Robert Mueller as the coverup artist who obstructed investigation of the Saudi role in 9/11, a fact previously highlighted extensively by LaRouche PAC. Sperry uses information from the presently pending lawsuit against the Saudi government by 9/11 victims, which includes affidavits from FBI agents who have come forward regarding the depravity of their former boss.

As highlighted by Sperry:

FBI Agent Stephen Moore, who worked on the 9/11 task force, states in his affidavit for the lawsuit that he concluded that “diplomatic and intelligence personnel of Saudi Arabia knowingly provided material support to two of the terrorist hijackers and facilitated the 9/11 plot,” yet Mueller blocked any interviews of the diplomats and intelligence personnel.

FBI Agent John Guandolo, who worked in Washington, D.C. on the 9/11 cases, states that Saudi royal family member and then-Ambassador to the U.S. Prince Bandar bin Sultan “should have been treated as a terrorist suspect” because of his funding of the women who, in turn, funded two of the hijackers, but all questioning of Bandar was prohibited, and instead, Mueller honored Bandar’s request to fly dozens of Saudi officials out of the country following the attack.  According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, FBI agents served as their bodyguards for safe passage out of the country.  This escape included a relative of Osama bin Laden already on the terror watch list.

In 2002 Mueller vacated an arrest warrant for Saudi cleric Anwar al-Awlaki for passport fraud, releasing him into the custody of a Saudi official.  According to Raymond Fournier,an agent with the Joint Terrorism Task Force in San Diego, al-Awlaki, who counseled the Saudi hijackers, was allowed to leave the U.S., and thereafter orchestrated the November 2009 Fort Hood shootings.

Mueller removed the agent investigating meetings between a member of the Saudi royal family and the hijackers in Sarasota, Florida, effectively killing timely development of that case.

Despite receiving daily briefings from FBI Agent Stephen Moore on the Saudi connections to 9/11 in 2001, Mueller testified before the Congress that he only learned of this connection in 2002 as the result of the Joint Congressional Inquiry’s work, and also lied that the hijackers had contacted no “known terrorist sympathizers” in the U.S., despite FBI files showing contact with 14 terror suspects.

Sperry then highlights the well-known story of Mueller’s obstruction of the Congressional investigation, particularly regarding the San Diego cell of 9/11 hijackers and the classified 28 pages of the Congressional investigation. That investigation, of course, leads right to Prince Bandar and complicit officials in the Bush Administration. Former FBI agent Mark Rossini commented: “I can still see the photo of Bandar and Bush enjoying cigars on the balcony of the White House two days after 9/11.”

Sperry quotes a former counterintelligence official asserting of Mueller: “Maybe if they were Russians, he would have been interested.  But he was not interested in investigating Saudi terrorists who murdered Americans.”

Republican Senators Make Friendly Visits to Russia and China

Sept. 7 (EIRNS)—U.S. Senator Michael Lee (R-UT) met at the Federation Council, the upper house of Russia’s Federal Assembly, on Sept. 6 with Sen. Konstantin Kosachev, chair of the Federation Council’s Foreign Affairs Committee. Kosachev told the press that “The talks were even better that I had expected. They were really frank and were held in an amiable manner. There were no attempts to preach morality and mentor, which we can sometimes see in our American counterparts. He was attentively listening to what we were saying. For our part, we were listening attentively to what he was saying.”

Kosachev said that he had told Lee that he was “confident that then-U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A., that established the anti-Hitler coalition back in the day, were divided by much more than modern Russia and modern U.S. Today we face challenges and threats no less serious than before.”

Senator Lee, who has been a leading voice against the climate hoax and the EPA classification of carbon as a pollutant, worked with outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman, Jr. when Huntsman was Utah governor.

Earlier this week, two Republican Senators visited China. President Donald Trump told the press on Sept. 4 that he had approved of the visit to China by Sens. Steve Daines of Montana and David Perdue of Georgia, who met with China’s lead trade negotiator Vice Premier Liu He and other Chinese officials. Trump said the meeting had been requested by China; “they have a lot of respect for Senator Daines and for Senator Perdue. So do I, they’re friends of mine. They are great senators doing a fantastic job.” He said the Senators had met with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin before their visit.

Perdue released a statement about the trip on Sept. 4, saying he and Daines “traveled to China with one goal: to help reinforce President Trump’s efforts to level the playing field with all of our trading partners. We were there to emphasize that the President and his negotiating team have strong support from Congress.”

Daines is a former executive for Procter & Gamble who lived in China for five and a half years, and has negotiated Chinese purchase of Montana beef.

THE NEW GLOBAL ECONOMIC ORDER

Putin Addresses Shape and Content of Required World Order at Eastern Economic Forum

Sept. 6 (EIRNS)—Asked at the plenary of the Eastern Economic Forum yesterday about the proposals raised at the Aug. 24-26 G7 summit—by Presidents Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron—that Russia be invited back into the G8, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the strategic reality that any serious discussion of world affairs today requires that the existing institutions representing the failed old order be entirely reshaped, to ensure the active participation of China and India, as well as Russia.

Here, Putin implicitly proposed the concept for Four Powers cooperation which American statesman Lyndon LaRouche specified as necessary a decade ago, not to dictate conditions to the rest of the world, but to muster sufficient power to finally bury the oligarchic order which has oppressed humanity for millennia.

Putin argued that if Russia’s partners “want to restore the G8, let them do it. But, I think that everyone understands now that the Western leadership is running its course, President Macron recently publicly said it himself. I cannot imagine an effective international organization that operates without India or China”—the last remark drawing applause.

“Therefore, any forums are useful, they always involve a positive exchange of opinions, even when the discussion is a heated one, which is exactly what was happening at this G7 summit, as far as I understand. It is still useful. That is why we do not rule out any cooperation format.”

President Putin’s responded to a separate question about international participation in Russia’s Vostochny Space Launch Center pointing to the international space program which must become the center of any successful new world order. Putin replied that Vostochny “should primarily handle civilian launches,” and therefore “we don’t merely believe that we can work there together with foreign partners,” but “we are interested in this, and we will certainly involve them in this cooperation.

“Russia and India implement joint space exploration projects, we work actively on these programs with the People’s Republic of China; in principle, we maintain good cooperation with the European Space Agency, and we hope that this process will continue to develop, and we also cooperate with the United States. The many spacecraft that we launch in the interests of our foreign partners, including the United States—there are plans to launch many of them from the Vostochny Space Launch Center. Therefore I don’t see any single direction that might be off limits to our foreign partners. On the contrary, we are interested in attracting them; this also concerns the Zvezda facility that you mentioned,” Putin answered.

On Sept. 4 Putin and his special guest at the Vladivostok forum, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had toured the Zvezda shipyard; and on Sept. 6, he stopped off at Vostochny en route back to Moscow.

COLLAPSING WESTERN FINANCIAL SYSTEM

Sen. Bernie Sanders Confirms ‘Climate Emergency’ Is Population Reduction

Sept. 6 (EIRNS)—A question and answer involving Sen. Bernie Sanders during CNN’s marathon “climate debate” on Sept. 4, went directly to the point of EIR’s Special Report, “ ‘Global Warming’ Scare Is Population Reduction, Not Science,” published in 2015.

An audience member, ostensibly asking a question, asserted that world population growth is accelerating (it has actually been decelerating for 25 years) and that the Earth cannot sustain it (also not true). “Empowerment of women and educating everyone on the need to stop population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of your climate plan?” she demanded.

Sanders replied, “The answer is yes! Especially in poor countries around the world, where women don’t want to have so many children….”

At another point, discussing his $16.3 trillion “Green New Deal” plan, Sanders said that “science has told us that within 11 years from now, damage to the Earth will be irreversible” if the plan is not implemented; but then strangely added that “it would be implemented over 15 years.” The plan on his website, as of Sept. 4, was described as having to be implemented in 10 years.
