September 30, 1991. ICLC conference Alexandra Virginia, panel 3, part 1 of 2, Michael Billington, former member Jonathan Tennenbaum, Nancy Spannaus. Political prisoner Michael Billington opened panel 3 with a discussion of his historical research on the American System effect on China through Dr. Sun yat Sen and the British role behind the evil of Mao. Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum, former collaborator with LaRouche on the Productive Triangle program, kicked off the panel with a review of the status of the European economies and the Triangle alternative. Because of the sabotage in implementing LaRouche's program after the east European revolutions in 1989, he argued, we not only have chaos and war in that part of the world, but the industrial heartland has become a sinking island of poverty. The purpose of this infrastructure is to provide the condition for the creative productive output of families in this industrial center. The building of beautiful cities and revival of Renaissance culture is therefore an indispensable part of a program which builds upon the impulse toward Western civilization and toward nationbuilding in the eastern part of Europe. The LaRouche campaign "past" was presented by Nancy Spannaus, under the title of "Our Unique Institutional Authority." It was shown that LaRouche's projections in 1971 of how the U.S. would devolve into fascism if it did not turn away from the post-industrial, usurious society, have been vindicated in full. One of the crucial elements of that devolution, as LaRouche had warned since 1968, was the embrace of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, which makes human beings incapable of taking responsibility for themselves and their posterity.
