"Don't trash society, Peter. That's all I can tell you. Society is all that we've got. If it is sick, let's heal it!"
"Shouldn't we rather heal the Presidency, Steve? Wouldn't that be simpler?"
"That's not possible, Peter, for as long as society remains sick. Until there is a healing in society the Presidency won't likely function as it is designed to function, but becomes the throne of the self-appointed King of the World that society wants to see." Steve laughed at this thought as if it were the biggest joke of the day.
"So, whom should the President put in his place, Steve?" I interrupted his laughter.
"No, Peter, let me turn the question around and ask you, whom would you put in his place, Pete, if you had the power to decide? Who is competent to do the job when the field of the contenders becomes as narrow as a razorblade? Do you know anybody?" Steve chuckled and smiled.
"LaRouche, of course! But that's like dreaming, Steve, isn't it?"
"No, Pete, that's not dreaming. That's merely challenge. It didn't used to be like that, that the roster of valid contenders is so tragically empty that you find only one single name on it. If the field of valid contenders has become as narrow as a razor blade, then we are facing a tragedy. I can also tell you this, Pete, if I were that man LaRouche, I would feel terribly uncomfortable in his situation. I would scream at society and say to it: It isn't fair that you fools put me into a position like that! What I represent should be the rule, not the exception."
"If this challenge had been met in the first place, Steve, then I would have had no reason to rush half way around the world to talk to you about Russia..."
"There would have been no mad response to a crisis that isn't even a crisis yet," Steve continued my sentence and laughed.
"Nevertheless, Peter, there are still some people around who live by the Principle of Universal Love, and the Principle of the Universal Brotherhood of All Mankind; people who are known for their love for humanity," Steve continued. "Those are you contenders. You will know them by their commitment to the General Welfare Principle that our country was founded on. Search them out! Listen to their heart. Empower them to stand up and be counted as human beings. Make them knows as people standing on the side of universal truth and universal principle."
"I suppose, this criterion is ultimately the measure by which we must judge our civilization and ourselves," I said. "It is ultimately not the task of the political parties to rally the people. The rallying movement has to be a universal movement, brother to brother, man to man, right across the whole of society."
"We are loosing this movement, Peter. We are loosing it fast in the age of television. We've lost it especially in America. The media is abused, and is abusing society. If we continue to loose the humanist factor in our world, as is now happening, there will be soon no civilization left for us, and no economy down the road. Then America will be an empty shell without an auto industry, without an airline industry, without an aircraft industry, with railways that function, without a viable farming industry, and so forth. Nor will America have the resources to rebuild itself. It is fast becoming a country without a machine tool industry, without a steel industry, and without functioning energy and transportation infrastructures. Everything that we needs for our national physical recovery has already been bankrupted by looting. We would have to start from square one. Even education has been largely destroyed. We don't have the skills left to re-industrialize and rebuild the nation. Nor will we have any banks left in existence that haven't collapsed when the financial system disintegrates. That's the future we will face if the President doesn't resign, if indeed we will have a future that isn't preempted by nuclear war of his choosing. The main reason for getting the President-King and his crowd to vacate their office, is damage control at this stage. That's the reason. Nothing less than a complete victory in getting back to a position of sanity will do. This means that the President-King and his entire entourage has to go."
