Celebrate the American Revolution!

Join our symposium dialogue this Friday night, which will discuss the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. I will be joined in this dialogue by candidate Jose Vega and LaRouche Manhattan Project spokesman, Dennis Speed. What better way to wrap up the 2024 election than to discuss the goals of the American Revolution as our road map for the future!

The formal beginning of the Revolution's 250th anniversary is April 19, 2025, in recognition of the "shot heard round the world" -- the Battles of Lexington and Concord of 1775. The celebration will continue through the July 4, 1776 signing of of the Declaration of Independence, the 1783 conclusion of the war of independence's eight years of sacrifice and determination, and the 1788 ratification of the American Constitution.

The extraordinary success of the Revolution was a fulfillment of centuries of yearning for the liberation from oligarchy. There was a long history before the first shots were fired -- from Solon of Athens [c. 630 – c. 560 BC], through Nicholas of Cusa [1433, "consent of the governed"], through Gottfried Leibniz [1693 -- "the entire natural law is derived from the human necessity to pursue happiness understood broadly as the obligation to grow in moral perfection"], and on. The Revolution was supported in its day by Schiller, Beethoven, Mozart, and Ben Franklin's international network of scientists.

The disastrous wars and resulting economic hardship faced by Americans today show that the ideas of the British Empire have remained a corrupting and dominant influence in American policy. The revolution is not yet done. Join us Friday night to consider: What does it mean to "declare independence?"
