3 funny way, it's just like in marketsthat if I weren't thereof course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else wouldwouldwould be taking it away anyhow. And it was thewhether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So theI had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt." From an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes, December 20, 1998 Bertrand Russell and George Soros are not merely two "private" individuals. Russell, who also publicly advocated preemptive nuclear war against the Soviet Union, 1 was a descendant from one of the most prominent British imperial families. His ancestor Edward Russell was a leader in the 1688 Glorious Revolution, and his grandfather Lord John Russell was the Victorian British Prime Minister during the years of Britain's genocide against the Irish, known today as the "potato famine." George Soros, the organizer of the offshore Quantum Fund, and the founder of the Open Society, is today one of the leading financial speculators in the world, and the financial angel behind U.S. Democratic Party Presidential precandidate Barak Obama. 2 In contrast to the antihuman outlook expressed above, take a look at how others view humanity: How fair, O Man, do you, your palm branch holding Stand at the century's unfolding In proud and noble manhood's prime With faculties revealed, with spirit's fullness Full earnest mild, in actionwealthy stillness, The ripest son of time, Free through reason, strong through law's measure, Through meekness great, and rich in treasure, Which long your breast to you did not disclose, Nature's own lord, she glories in your bridle, Who in a thousand fights assays your mettle And shining under you from out the wild arose! Friedrich Schiller, from The Artists (translated by Marianna Wertz) * “God made men different so that “every man might have need of other, and from hence they might all be knit more nearly together in the band of brotherly affection. * “No man is made more honorable than another... out of any particular and singular respect to himself, but for the glory of his creator and the Common good. * “We must love one another with a pure heart, fervently, so that we delight in each other, mourn together, labor and suffer together... We must bear one another’s burdens.” John Winthrop, from A Model of Christian Charity (1630) “Reason is that wherein man goes before all other earthly creatures and comes after God only... For whereas God and nature hath furnished other creatures, some with hoofs, others with other instruments, and weapons both defensive and offensive, man is left naked, and destitute of all these, but may comfort himself in that one endowment of reason, and providence, whereby he is able to govern them all.” John Robinson, Pastor of the Plymouth (Pilgrim) Church, from Of Faith, Hope, and Love, Reason and Sense 1 In the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, 1948 2 Your Enemy George Soros, published June, 2008 by LaRouchePAC
4 These two sets of quotations do not represent merely subjective differences of opinion about the nature of Man. Rather, these two violently contrary views of Man define, at least in principle, the difference between Empire and Republic. The following two quotations from Henry C. Carey, the foremost American economist of the 19th century, demonstrate this difference in an historically concrete way: "Two systems are before the world…. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks toward universal war; the other to universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised, the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." The Harmony of Interests, (1851) "Hence it is that we see the slave trade prevail to so great an extent in all the countries subject to the British system.... The system to which the world is indebted for these results is called "free trade;" but there can be no freedom of trade where there is no freedom of man, for the first of all commodities to be exchanged is labour, and the freedom of man consists only in the exercise of the right to determine for himself in what manner his labour shall be employed, and how he will dispose of its products.... It [the British System] is the most gigantic system of slavery the world has yet seen, and therefore it is that freedom gradually disappears from every country over which England is enabled to obtain control." The Slave Trade, Domestic and Foreign, (1853) This, then, is the battlefield, the two opposing sides, in a fight that has existed for thousands of years, a fight whose outcome is still undetermined as of today. 1582 In 1582, a political revolution in Venice brought to power the Giovani party, associated with the Servite monk Paolo Sarpi. The seeds of this revolution were already planted some years before 1582, but it was with the ascension to power of the Giovani, and the continuing career of Sarpi, up until his death in 1623, that the modern AngloDutch System was born. The locus of this new empire was gradually shifted to northern Europe – first to Amsterdam, then to London – and new theories of finance, trade, international law, and government were created, for the purpose of ensuring continued oligarchical rule. Those theories, and the antihuman philosophical method behind them, continue in practice up to this very day. 1582 was not the beginning of "Empire," but it was the beginning of the modern form of empire, the AngloDutch Liberal System. The philosophical, economic, and scientific ideas that have come down to us from that 1582 revolution are virtually allencompassing. To be sure, they include concepts of private finance, money and trade, which evolved over decades into what became the British System of "free trade." In addition, however, the philosophical empiricism of Sarpi and his epigone, has had profound influences over virtually every branch of philosophy, science, and mathematics. Some of those influences will be taken up in this current work. For now, however, the important guidepost to keep before us, is Sarpi's denial of basic human nature. Coherent with the Empire idea of "rule of the few over the many" is the necessity to deny the idea of lawful human creativity.
