<[link removed]>Friend —

As recent actions have shown, the world has entered a new phase shift where the bestial law of “might makes right” has trampled any notion of international law. The Trump administration’s apparent willingness to take a “FAFO” approach to the Western Hemisphere—reinforced by comments from advisors such as Stephen Miller implying that the United States should run Venezuela simply because it can—would have the Founding Fathers rolling in their graves.

The American Revolution was rooted not only in the rejection of tyranny, imperialism, and despotism, but in the conviction that “all men are created equal,” endowed with unalienable rights to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” and that a world governed by those principles is truly possible. They believed that the individual's greatest value is the beauty of his or her mind as a force for good in the world, not the amount of power or strength that one can wield to achieve his desires.

The irony of today is that, even though the United States is ripping up the system of international law and declaring war on much of the world, the non-Western part of the world is defending those anti-imperial traditions of the Founding Fathers. They are even breaking away from the neocolonial financial systems which have been the largest source of enforced underdevelopment for decades.

As we prepare to celebrate Martin Luther King Day tomorrow—who himself should rightfully be considered one of America's Founding Fathers—let us take this opportunity to recall those better traditions upon which our nation was founded. 

Lyndon LaRouche said the following about Martin Luther King during a 2004 celebration of his life:

The only way you can renew a nation—as Martin made a great contribution to renewing the United States—is, you have to go to the forgotten man and woman, especially to the “have-nots,” and if you can express a loving attitude, toward the problem of the have-nots, those who are the lower side of life—then, you are capable of representing the principle, upon which modern government should be based. The same principle that Jeanne d’Arc made possible, in a sense, in her contribution to the emergence of France as the first modern nation-state, committed to the general welfare.

If you want to be a true politician, you must be committed to the general welfare. You must be committed to mankind. And to be committed to mankind, is to look at the person who’s in the worst condition, in general—and uplift them! Then, you really have proven, that you care about the general welfare. If you don’t go to those people, you’re not with the general welfare. If you don’t have your roots in a fight for the general welfare, you’re not capable of leading our nation, which is a nation Constitutionally committed to the general welfare.

Martin had that.
