On the reclaimed platform, reflecting the spirit of LaRouche's proposals a new interim currency was established to temporarily replace the dollar, since the dollar was no longer trusted by anyone, nor accepted as currency anywhere in the world. This 'desperate' step, to implement the despised economist's policies that had become totally necessary at this point for a global recovery was the first step in a long series of steps that did get the most vital economic processes functioning again. In the background of this recovery, the man's name, the name of Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., gradually became a respected name. The oligarchic press that had slandered his name for many years into infamy, was one of the few institutions that were not financed back to life. They had slandered the man in order to prevent his perceptions of fundamental principles from becoming recognized and implemented, which once brought prosperity to America rather than to the Empire. Over those deeds they lost their licensee to operate.
In a historic sense, what had occurred during this period of crisis, before the interim currency was issued, had mirrored the effect of the infamous Kennedy assassination. President Kennedy had ordered the US to pull out of Vietnam, but his orders had been countermanded and three days later the President had been shot. In the wake of the assassination the Vietnam conflict was escalated into a major war. Vietnam became devastated by that war in which 600,000 people were murdered. Had President Kennedy remained alive and his order to withdraw had been carried out, those 600,000 people would have remained alive. By the same token, if LaRouche's policies had been implemented, the fundamental principles that they were built on would have saved the USA a hundred million casualties and immeasurable destruction. However, only after the streets had become graveyards and the cemeteries had been overflowing had the universal principles of humanity become recognized for what they were.
Some people suggested eventually that many hundreds of millions of people could have been spared an agonizing death around the world if the ensuing chaos would have been prevented. That's a steep price society paid for the slander it allowed and had subjected itself to. It had vilified a man of genius, and by doing so it vilified the principles that the man stood for. It closed its heart against these principles. Thereby society denied itself access to these universal principle, the only principles that could have saved society the great tragedy it brought upon itself. LaRouche had urged the world to give him the power to do what is required on the basis of those universal principles. The choice that he had put before the world had never varied; to put the world-empire's bankrupt speculative feudal system through a bankruptcy reorganization in order to save the lives of humanity; and then immediate re-regulate, re-finance, and to rebuild the world's economies. Instead of doing that society chose to save its dreams for as long as these dreams could possibly last, and perished horribly in that dreaming.
So it was that society chose to forfeit its life in large numbers, which it did. It was said by those who had lived through that chaos of those times in the big cities that the stench of the rotten corpses had made some areas of the cities literally uninhabitable. This unimaginable tragedy came like a sad echo of what had already happened earlier in Africa, for decades. Sadder still than the deaths themselves, of those who died in this tragedy, was the realization that they died in vain. There were also cries for war heard in the midst of the tragedy, especially in America that had arrogantly accused the Europeans of having had lost their 'appetite' for war. Thus, the world had clearly not become a better place in the wake of this tragedy that may some day be called the greatest tragedy in mankind's history. The mysterious, mythological bird, the Phoenix, did not rise from the ashes of mankind's collapse as in the fables of ancient times. Sanity does not arise from insanity. The nobler society that did arise in the end was not forged of the mud of the disintegrating world. The breakthrough came from ideas that were finally accepted after everything had failed.
