COVID-19 - Things Are Starting To Get Better
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 12 hours ago
A meta-analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the 2019 form of coronavirus that led to the COVID-19 pandemic, found that the chance an infected person showing symptoms was infecting someone else even in their home was only 18%, while it plummeted to 0.7% if they are not symptomatic. The pool was not small, it was data from over 77,000 participants. That's actually good news, and it may mean a return to normalcy, because if even being trapped in a home with someone has only a minor risk for those not at respiratory distress risk from flu or anything...

What We can Learn from the Immortal Beethoven, to Overcome the Present Systemic Breakdown
Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 16 hours ago
Yesterday was the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven. Though he lived in chaotic times, and suffered great personal misfortune, he rose above them, giving to us, today, an example of one whose creativity provides a challenge to us, as well as insights into the quality of mind and love for mankind required to successfully address the existential threats confronting us today. Take some time to listen to his compositions today. For more on what it means to "Think Like Beethoven," you can view the 4th panel of the Schiller Institute's online conference. Watch Harl...
Building a Mass Movement to Counter the Collapse of the International System

Helga Zepp LaRouche In reflecting on the just-concluded Schiller Institute two-day conference, Helga Zepp LaRouche emphasized the significance of the question posed by Jacques Cheminade, a former candidate for President of France, in his address during the 4th panel. Cheminade asked, “Why is there no mass movement to counter the present global crisis?” In her review of the developments of the last week — from the ongoing battle to overturn election fraud in the U.S., the escalation of anti-Russia, anti-China actions by the same networks behind the fraudulent Russiagate, and aggres...
LaRouche Shocker—The American System is Neither Capitalist or Communist—Why Didn't You Know That?
Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 1 day ago
Lyndon LaRouche As the result of the American Revolution and the genius of Alexander Hamilton, an entirely new form of economy was designed, meeting the Constitution's mandate to protect the general welfare of a free people. That unique economic design was further elaborated by Henry Carey, Abraham Lincoln's economist, presenting the ideas which resulted in the superior logistics of the North in the Civil War. This invention has been attacked, distorted, and rather thoroughly wiped from American history books, as the result of a concerted infiltration and mobilization by our Britis...

Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 1 day ago
As the world economy is "on the edge of a cliff", according to the former chairman of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, he proposed an escalation for the implementation of the "Global Re-Set", giving central bankers the power to determine which businesses and industries are bailed out, and which fail. At the same time, the authors of the fraudulent Russiagate coup plot are at it again, accusing Russia—again without evidence except for "anonymous sources"—of a massive hack.

How Bill Barr Perpetuated the Lie at the Heart of Russiagate
Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 2 days ago
When the Mueller Report came out in March 2019, Barr correctly reported that it found no collusion by Trump with Russia, and no obstruction of justice. However, he let stand the lie of Russian "meddling" and "hacking", which is still repeated to the present day. By not exposing this lie, his "defense" of Trump undermined the major strategic initiative of his presidency, to reverse the dangerous geopolitical confrontation course with Russia pursued by Bush and Obama and replace it with friendship and cooperation between the superpowers. And what is the status of the Durham probe? N...

Economic Consequences Of A Second Economic ‘Mitigation’ Bill

As of mid-December 2020 the US economy has begun showing increasing signs of an exceptionally weak 4th quarter, October-December, growth. After having collapsed -10.5% in the March-June 2020 period, followed by a partial ‘rebound’ (not sustained recovery) in the 3rd quarter, July-September 2020, the economy is now slowing rapidly once again. Dismal reports of consumer and especially retail sales in October-November appear driving the slowing growth—in turn driven by rising unemployment claims, a growing number of permanent layoffs by large businesses as the economy structurally ch...
Infrastructure Advances Improve Lives Of All Nicaraguans
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
During the neoliberal governments from 1990 to 2007, the Nicaraguan population suffered lack of electricity an average of five to twelve hours a day. Electricity was needed to pump water so Nicaraguans had even more hours without the precious liquid. In my Managua neighborhood, Ciudad Jardin, we prepared for the outages with candles, kerosene and stored water. We sat outside together in the dark in the early evenings – one good thing – and the kids played. But the frequent electricity cuts ruined refrigerators, televisions, etc. because, when the electricity returned, it would oft...
