Productivity: Executive Intelligence Review

Revolt of the Lame Ducks in Berlin: The Music of History Plays Elsewhere Nov. 19-The great waves of hysteria in die-hard Atlanticist circles and the mass media, which were already sweeping in before the U.S. election, have reached an unprecedented scale since Trump's victory, and give us clinical insight into the mental state and understanding of democracy of these people. Evidently they would rather have a President Hillary Clinton and a Third World War resulting from her announced Syria policy, than the potential improvement of Russian-American relations, which is indispensable for establishing world peace and achieving positive solutions for Syria and Ukraine. It is truly remarkable: After the repudiated President Obama managed to find three days to stay at Berlin's Hotel Adlon, and to dine and talk with his friend Angela Merkel, and then to hold a mini-summit of the selfappointed European "Six," the two of them decided- along with the other heads of state-to prolong the sanctions against Russia for another year. These not-sosecure others were French President Fran?ois Hollande (7% approval rating), Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (the likely loser in an Italian referendum on Dec. 4), Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy (interim head of state of a minority government), and the hapless British Prime Minister Theresa May. It is doubtful that they will contribute to cohesion in the EU with this move to make themselves a virtual Directorate of the European Union, and then decree a policy which half of the EU member countries oppose. This self-anointed "Six" have obviously not yet grasped that their variant of neoliberal policy, based on confrontation with Russia and China, was voted out in the Brexit vote in June and in the recent presidential election in the United States. They have not understood that a situation has developed in the trans-Atlantic world that is evoked in the American Declaration of Independence: namely, that if governments have become "destructive" "of the ends" of their mandate-specifically, to guarantee the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness- then it is the right of the people, indeed it is their "their duty" to alter or abolish such a government. The "long train of abuses and usurpations" elaborated in the Declaration of Independence corresponds exactly to what those people whom Hillary Clinton so contemptuously called the "basket of deplorables" have endured under Obama's policies-abuses and usurpations which they did not want continued under a President Hillary Clinton. The self-anointed Six, and above all, the utterly crazed members of the media, who themselves do not shrink from issuing threats against Trump, disguised as humor, are so imprisoned in their own ideology that they cannot grasp the natural-law dimension of this revolution. Yet the New York Times on Nov. 18 published an article on its front page with the headline "Trump-Size Idea for a New President: Build Something Inspiring." The Times stated correctly that Trump can only unite the country if he brings on line investments in great infrastructure projects, the likes of which have been totally ignored over the last decades. He must build modern versions of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam, and Lincoln Tunnel. Then the "newspaper of record" enumerated Roosevelt's most important projects. But the article is, of course, far behind the program of Lyndon LaRouche, who in 2015 published a proposal to build the New Silk Road in the United States-a program of large-scale infrastructure building and reindustrialization-which would integrate the United States into the World Land-Bridge.
