“I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist.. I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus.” ― Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (in his Forward to: If I Were an Animal; United Kingdom, Robin Clark Ltd., 1986.)
A Note To Readers
Prince Philip has not died yet, but I am sure he is happy today.
This week we shall focus on the Corona Virus pandemic (COVID-19), as it was declared to be such by the World Health Organization yesterday. Also yesterday, President Trump addressed the nation on the crisis. But it is not just a crisis of a spreading deadly disease. It is a generalized breakdown crisis of an entire system: A pandemic, a crash of the financial system, and the realization that our real physical economy has been gutted by 50 years of free trade, deregulation and outsourcing of production.
What you will find below is my introduction that sets the stage for a series of articles that take us to what must be done, and done now.
As the stock market crashes and the Federal Reserve announces today that it will bail out the collapsing largest banks in the country with $1.5 trillion over the next few days, we are seeing a couple of the elements of the general breakdown crisis that the entire system is undergoing now.
So, the first item below is the call by Helga Zepp-LaRouche to the leaders of the largest nations of the world (the U.S., Russia, China, India, and other nations) to immediately meet to for the emergency implementation of the Four Laws of Lyndon LaRouche. For it is only that comprehensive policy of returning the U.S., and other nations, to the American System of physical economy, first established by the first U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton that will work.
I urge you all to study that document carefully, for your future, and that of the nation and the world, depends on you acting to ensure that President Trump goes with it.
Next, will be a few words about President Trump’s address to the nation last night, and then I contrast his speech to that of President Franklin Roosevelt’s inaugural speech of March 4, 1933.
Under the title, “Wall Street Explodes; Time to Listen to the Wise Words of Lyndon LaRouche,” are a series of reports and links on the solution.
That is followed by a section with the title: “The Pandemic: Some Reports and Some Failings.” This section includes the reports on Dr. Robert Redfield of the Centers from Disease Control discussing the “Urgency of Rebuilding Entire U.S. Public Health System,” and the “Nurses Unions Protest Weakened CDC COVID-19 Guidelines.”
That section also includes a brief report on Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases testimony before Congress on the coronavirus testing system failing.
The final section covers the blow-out of the financial system and the announcement by the Federal Reserve today that it is pumping $1.5 trillion into the banking system over the next few days. No financial crisis? Well, the action of the Fed belies that.
