From Milken & Enron To Perugia: 'Extreme Events'!
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

--------------------------------------------------
{There is an epoch-making quality of common historic thread,
which ties together recent events typical of New York's and
London's financial center, with both the Jokela High School
massacre, and the very ugly death of a young English woman, in
Perugia, Italy. All three of these and comparable signs of these,
our present times, mark these reported events as sharing the
characteristic of the events which the report of a judge in
Perugia reported, as driven by an ostensibly uncontrollable
yearning for an "extreme" quality of existentialist experience,
by at least some among the surviving participants. These are
experiences which, when combined, might be described as a kind of
dionysian event expressing some particularly worrying
characteristics of our presently onrushing, global "new dark
age." All three of these, and many other, related kinds of
extreme events, are, like Rupert Murdoch's MySpace and
Microsoft's Facebook, or Microsoft's and others' killer computer
games, all to be combined as signs typical of our wicked and
deadly present times.}
---------------------------------------------------
It would seem, therefore, that the awesome {Erinyes} of
{Ibykus}'s Corinth are descending upon our presently very wicked
world!FN1
The time has come, now, as the Walrus said, for me to point
to the eerie experience which had crept over me years ago, while
my wife and I had been seated on a grassy slope, looking down,
across the Arno, into the streets of Florence. I had suddenly
realized that I had been seated in approximately the same place
where author Giovanni Boccaccio of the Decameron had described
himself as seated, while he, according to his literary account,
had been viewing scenes from what he presented as typical of the
earlier times leading into the depths of medieval Florence's
experience of Europe's Fourteenth-Century New Dark Age.FN2
Therefore, you may now inform U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson among others, that that is a lesson which he should have
learned.
What we have as now presented to us for our study, here, is
a cluster of three recent acts, a set of acts which, as I shall
show, expresses products typical of a relevant form of
mass-insanity, a set of contemporary acts congruent in effect
with that New Dark Age within which the real-life subject of
Govanni Boccaccio's Decameron was situated.
1. Foremost, is the mass-insanity expressed by U.S. Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson's flop, his tragically impotent reaction
to fear, like that of a frightened rabbit, to what has been, in
fact, the onrush {of a general breakdown-crisis in the world's
present monetary-financial system: a crisis which is already
comparable in its implications to the period of the outbreak of
medieval Europe's Fourteenth-Century New Dark Age.}FN3
Paulson's case is not to be treated as if it were merely
some expression of a personal bit of insanity; it is an
expression of a form of mass group-insanity shared among most of
his political class. It as an expression of his participation,
like that of helpless chaff carried by the surf: he is swept
along by a tide of fully tragic mass-insanity, as the specific
expression, and product, of a dynamic form of social, mass
phenomenon. We have thus, in fact, a case of a tide of
mass-insanity among both an entire political class and its
virtual lackeys in current social-political life, rather than a
merely individual behavior which might be seen as similar to
certain other individual cases.
2. Similarly, the second case to be included here, is{ a
MySpace-, Facebook-related event}, what has been described by
relevant law officials, as the setting of what the evidence
presents as a case for charges of the murder, in Perugia, Italy,
of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old student from England.
It is not the guilt, or relative innocence of any among the
participants in that grisly event which is at issue in our
treatment of that case here; what is crucial for our purposes
here, is, as in many apparently similar cases, the circumstances
in which the event is shown both to have occurred and have been
reported.{ It is the prevalent potential (e.g., threat) of the
dynamics expressed by the actual situation, which is crucial.}
3. Similarly, the third case is that of yet another ominous
killing, which occurred as shootings at Jokela High School, about
forty miles north of Finland's capital, Helsinki. The shooting,
reported as perpetrated by an addicted video-shoot-and-kill-games
fanatic, an 18-year-old student at that school. In this case, as
in a similar, worse case of an habituated computer-games fanatic
in Blacksburg, Virginia, we have, yet again, and again, and
again, the homicidal rampage of yet another individual addicted
to the form of insanity associated with {induced habituation to
such computer games}, ended with the willful suicide of the
perpetrator.
The essential details of each of these, the latter two
grisly cases, are being reported massively, with a relatively
high degree of compelling verisimilitude, throughout much of the
international press. The behavior of that press, itself, has
become an integral part of the pattern of these reported events;
however unwitting that press might be, it, itself, is a
component, contributing element of the tragic situation overall,
that as much for what it should do, but does not, as what it
does.
Before returning to the case of the strange aberrations of
Secretary Henry Paulson, continue, for now, to focus, briefly,
upon the two cases of aberrant youth behavior itself.
The crucial common denominator of the evidence presented, is
marked by its common ideology, the unifying factor of MySpace,
Facebook, and mass-killer point-and-shoot games, as this is
illustrated by the case of Facebook proprietor Microsoft. In any
competent effort to understand the three exemplary cases
identified above, we must always seek out a {dynamics} which
subsumes each and all of the cases {systemically}, and that in a
relevant, {dynamic} fashion.
To grasp the significance of the interrelations among these
and kindred phenomena, we must consider three matters. {First},
the form of social organization which provides the situation in
which these developments occur. {Second}, the method by which
such specific kinds of relevant effects are induced. {Thirdly},
the effects which those factors produce when they are situated in
present general social and physical-economic conditions.
To illustrate that point: in two cases, the common
denominator of Rupert Murdoch's MySpace and Microsoft's Facebook,
on the one hand, and killer computer games on the other, the
connections are immediately obvious. In all three cases, the
common feature is, {first, the method of} Sophist group behavior;
this is behavior closely related, as if genetically, to the
sociology defined by the dominant role in today's society of
{today's particular "Baby Boomer" ("white collar,
middle-class') heritage. }These are,{ second,} cases of{ a
radically existentialist behavior, behavior organized in defiance
of the existence of a real world, as in that behavior organized
in insular defiance of the existence of a real world, }as in
William Golding's 1954 The Lord of the Flies.FN4 Such cases
themselves express a well-known characteristic of such forms of
group mass-insanity as both expressed separately, and by {the
same dynamic} in their combination, as the three referenced
events of this set include an exemplary {third feature}, the
present case of the clear consequences of Paulson's deadly folly.
For example, there is no competent basis for denying that
the kinds of killings recently experienced at Blacksburg, are the
specific consequence of the promotion of killer computer games.
However, not only are these games a massive source of post-Y-2000
revenue for such financially and politically powerful interests
as the relevant Silicon Valley interests, but the development and
promotion of the sale and use of these games is an expression and
by-product of a vast financial empire of investment by
military-industrial and related establishments, which are
committed, as Vice-President Cheney is, to what is termed "a
revolution in military affairs" associated not only with
Vice-President Dick Cheney and such financier interests as those
associated with George Shultz and Speaker Nancy Pelosi's close
acquaintance Felix Rohatyn,
Therefore, since powerful special interests are behind the
actions which cause the relevant effects. virtually nothing has
been done, in net effect, to halt a rising incidence of
slaughters such as that which occurred recently at Blacksburg,
Virginia and Jokela High School most recently. The press is
generally intimidated into lying by silence on the known facts of
the matter, and our political establishment, as in the U.S.
Congress, is fully as corrupted on this issue as our press,
perhaps even more so.
This brings our attention back to the three propositions I
identified above:
Now, consider Secretary Paulson's behavior itself from that
standpoint. He is certainly not to be classed as an adult youth;
but, he is involved in {the same genre of} insane game of
interdependent mass effects. He appears in his role as
performing, actually, a childish form of political game of
monetary affairs,FN5 often played today by adults who ought to
have known better. Most important: it is a game played outside
the proper rules of cause and effect in a real universe, a form
of mass-insanity cohering nicely with Myron Scholes' emblematic
1998 role in the game of mass-insanity known as LTCM's
forecasting: a mode of forecasting rooted in a radically
reductionist form of monetarist dogma and practice which is,
itself, not only a fantastic belief-system alien to the physical
real world, but intrinsically existentialist in its sociological
implications ({{Figure 1}}.
Then, consider the common characteristic of all three types
of cases: {each case, and all combined, represent a specific,
common form of mass-insanity} akin to that of the Flagellant
hordes of the Fourteenth-Century European New Dark Age. Without
understanding the axiomatic-like factor of mass-insanity steering
these three successive phases of the process, the threat to
civilization which this involves, would neither be recognized,
nor solved.

- Zombies from Cyberspace -
Begin this next stage of the report with the subject of the
role of Secretary Paulson. It is the same characteristics of the
Anglo-American trans-Atlantic financial community whose habits
Henry Paulson brings with him to the position of U.S. Treasury
Secretary, which is key to all of the causal factors which are
responsible for both the current outbreak, since late July 2007,
of the general financial bankruptcy of the U.S.A.'s and other
financial systems. This is the influence which underlies both the
methodological insanity of, especially, the ever-worsening
post-1987 international financial system, and, the sociological
characteristics, including gambling manias, of Cyberspace
looney-bins such as MySpace, Facebook, and killer modes in
computer games.
A world economy dominated by such a monetary-financial
system is inherently, like the Weimar bubble of 1923 created by
Versailles Treaty conditions, a self-doomed system. As long as
the inhabitant of the system might be enabled to believe that he,
or she has a real interest in maintaining the continuity of the
system, a certain uneasy social stability may be maintained, if
only temporarily, even though the system, if continued, will come
to an early point of doom. In fact, often, this impulse to resort
to denials, as Paulson has done, to evade the truth of the
matter, has led, like Paulson's expressed stubbornness now, to
bringing on the very catastrophe which could have been averted
had the truth been accepted.
For a time, the relatively older adult generation clung to
the dwindling relative advantages of the upper twenty percentile
of family-income brackets; but, the majority among the younger
adolescent and adult generations, being locked within a system
which proffers it no credible future prospects, has become
increasingly estranged. Now, over the course of the recent
approximately ten months, all generations tend to reflect one or
another kind of the political and moral effects of the resulting
mostly widespread demoralization, the adolescent and young-adult
generations (the adolescent most emphatically) more intensely.
It is not accidental that the current trends among the
generation presently under thirty-five years of age reflects its
experience of the changes which have occurred since the Spring of
2000, which is to say: about the time the U.S.
government-sponsored Y2K bubble collapsed, when Al Gore was
running for President, and Dick Cheney's patsy, George W. Bush,
Jr. was about to be sworn in as U.S. President. The collapse of
the bubble impelled the computer and related investments into a
new direction, into the acceleration of production and marketing
of computer and related technology which had been defined for the
shift to "a revolution in military affairs," into a boom market
represented by adolescent and young-adult war-game players.
Today, seven years later, Finland's functionally
{YouTube}-related cyberspace killer, Pekka-Eric Auvinen, is 16
years old, {Facebook} cultists Meredith Kercher was 21, and
Amanda Knox is 20, while Amanda's Italian boyfriend is 23.
Veteran of the Nixon White House, Henry Paulson, who represents
the same mathematical ideology for financial affairs as do
relatively expert players of killer computer games, is U.S.
Secretary of the Treasury.
Under these conditions, the lack of perceived significant
resistence to this worsening state of affairs in society, prompts
strong impulses toward what is, more or less popularly, called
"alienation." Thus, the 2004 re-election of President George W.
Bush was demoralizing; and the aggravation of the demoralization
caused by the leadership of the U.S. Congress, from February 2006
onward, especially during 2007 to date, has engendered marked
"pre-revolutionary conditions," especially among the
adolescents and the young adults. The flight into the expressed
rage of killer computer games, and into a flight from life into
cyberspace, produces, thus, the tendency for the convergence of
the two. Call the result "Zombies in Cyberspace."
If we, then, add to this, a regard we should have shown for
Secretary Paulson's indicated behavior as sharing certain
features related--so to speak, "genetically"--to the not so
well hidden, crucial characteristics of a Southwest Asian
mass-suicide fanatic. We should also recognize the types of
adolescents and young adults drawn into the kinds of withdrawal
from reality which the MySpace, Facebook, and
killer-computer-game addicts alike, are exhibiting in common,
that in their submission to pathological mental states akin to
the actions of suicide-bombers from Southwest Asia.FN6
Psychologically, the denizen of Cyberspace, whether in
MySpace or Facebook, or killer computer games, is being moved,
bit by bit, toward a common residence in the contemporary
equivalent of a Nazi Nuremberg rally, as the case of the kernel
of neo-Nazi and Anti-Fa warriors of today's Germany should have
reminded us. That tendency toward something equal to a fascist
mass-phenomenon, could be turned around, but not as long as the
folly echoed in the present case of Henry Paulson is allowed to
continue.
See all this as a matter of dynamics.

- Human Dynamics -
We must now shift the emphasis in our report, briefly, to
crucially relevant matters of science.
Think of the difference between species of marsupials and
mammals. Compare the range of varieties of species in a part of
the Earth where, and when marsupials once prevailed, and where
mammals have largely displaced marsupials. Think of an area
dominated by marsupials in dynamic, rather than mechanistic
terms. Think of the slots which each species of marsupial
occupies as corresponding to a category of the successful
job-applicants for the role performed by that species. See mammal
species, other than mankind, in a comparable way.
In a certain way, mankind's existence changes the ordering
principles among mammals as{ mankind changes its potential
relative population-density willfully, as no other mammal can.}
Yet, the fact is, that man, despite his animal body, is not
essentially a mammal; man changes his environment, and changes
the nature of his behavior, as no regular mammal can do that.
{That difference, as Vernadsky defined it for physical science,
is those developable creative potentials of the human individual
which do not exist in any lower form of life than mankind.}
Academician V.I. Vernadsky defined this difference
scientifically, by placing mankind as a member of the phase-space
known as the Nooesphere, whereas mammals generally are members
of the phase-space known as the Biosphere. The distinction lies
in those {specific} creative powers in the human mind which do
not exist in any lower form of life. Those changes in culture and
related practice which are responsible for the rise, or decline
of societies' potential relative population-density, act
integrally, in terms of unifying dynamics of the
social/physical-economic process, as species of marsupials or
mammals interact, within each, and among each, dynamically, as
species-types.
Man, as a part of the Nooesphere, is defined by those
sovereign powers of the individual human mind, which generates
the factors of change as the work of "discoveries," or the
like, of the individual human mind. This discoveries are not
happenstances, but are limited to those types of discoveries
which correspond to discovery of universal physical principle,
such as Kepler's uniquely original discovery of the principle of
gravitation.
It is the fruit of{ these powers, never present in any
animal,} which have enabled the human species to reach a level of
population of about six-and-a-half billions living persons.
The fluctuations in potential relative population-density
are implicitly determined, primarily, by degree to which the
members of a society generate such uniquely human discoveries of
principle, and also apply them. Thus, the maintenance of any
given level of potential relative population-density of any
nation, or any part of society, depends upon the determining,
functionally subsuming role of those creative powers. These are
not the power to discover mechanical gimmicks, for example, but
are expressed only as discoveries of universal physical principle
comparable to Kepler's unique discovery of gravitation and
Leibniz's uniquely original discovery of the principle of the
infinitesimal which had been prescribed by Kepler as a product of
Kepler's uniquely original discovery of not merely the effect,
but the principle of gravitation.FN7
Since human activity necessarily seems to deplete what had
been previously considered essential resources for maintaining a
certain quality, life-expectancy, and level of human existence,
it is only through progress in ideas corresponding to discoveries
of universal physical principles, that mankind is enabled to
sustain a presently given level of habitation (potential relative
population-density) as it were indefinitely, or to improve
mankind's potential relative population-density.
Not only is it essential that society maintain progress in
respect to continuing discovery of fundamental physical
principles, but to enjoy the benefit of existing such
discoveries, we must employ them to mankind's advancement.
Exemplary is the role of applied discoveries of universal
physical principles, when applied to society's practice, in
making possible an increase of the potential relative
population-density of the human species. The ration of the total
population engaged in such employment will then control the way
in which societies' increase or decrease of potential relative
population-density occurs. Whether this kind of improvement
occurs, or whether it might be reversed, as through the influence
of those malicious fellows called "Malthusians," not only
determines the practical conditions for improvement of the human
condition; but, a reversal of science-driven, relatively
capital-intensive progress, has a destructive effect on the
relative mental health of both the individual member of society,
and the society as a whole.
The generation among us now between fourteen and thirty-five
years of age, is experiencing the effects of a deep depression of
the potential relative population-density of the U.S. population
(per capita and per square kilometer) relative to the level
represented on the day President John F. Kennedy was shot down.
For example, at the time the U.S. manned landing on the Moon had
occurred, the U.S.A. had already begun to lose some of the
working science and technology which had been essential to that
Moon-shot!
While some fat fools believe themselves made mightily richer
by physical-economic trends of the recent forty-odd years, the
actually sustainable potential population-density of the
populations of both the U.S.A. and western and central Europe has
collapsed, at a generally increase rate of collapse, since about
1967-68.
In the case of such calamities, as we should recognize this
in the patterns of decline of the U.S. economy since the cultural
paradigm-shift of 1968-1971, the change for the worse appears
first as a lowering of {potential} relative population-density;
the decline which is engendered by that lowering of {potential
}will be reflected "statistically" later, over the course of
subsequent decades, as is manifest in the situation of the U.S.A.
and other nations today. Thus, as in the case of the U.S.A.
today, the leading institutions and populations react too late to
recognize the folly intrinsic to what they foolishly consider an
immediate period's successful change in policy. This point is
crucial for understanding the intrinsic incompetence of the
generality of U.S. private and governmental forecasters over the
recent forty years.
Thus, the physical potential relative population-density of
the U.S. in terms of net U.S. margins of physical output, has
been in an accelerating rate of collapse over the period since
the calamitous inauguration of Richard M. Nixon, but the
corresponding relative mental potential of the U.S. population
has also collapsed disastrously. Worst of all, our present
population is less capable of serious thinking, and by that
standard much more poorly educated than that of the time
President Kennedy was shot.
This kind of relatively temporary or long-term decadence of
national cultures, is commonplace in retrospective views of
relatively longer intervals in known history. The effect of such
decadence, is invariably a corresponding increase of ugliness of
the souls of the typical member of society, as Dante Alighieri
emphasized this consideration in his Commedia, and Boccaccio in
this Decameron.
The conditions of the combination of World War I and the
rise of German fascism, and similar effects in other nations,
were such a period of decline, from which the initiative of our
President Franklin Roosevelt rescued mankind for a certain time.
We are now, I repeat, in the fourth decade or longer of a steeply
accelerating physical-economic and moral, intrinsic decline in
trans-Atlantic culture.
This decline did not generate, as if mechanically, the
terrible decadence reflected by the "extreme events" considered
in this present report; but, it did foster the preconditions for
such awful moral and intellectual demoralization and decadence.

- Permanent Revolution, Permanent War -
This connection should be quickly recognized in close study
of the already extensive sample of evidence of withdrawal from
social reality, into "virtual space," which is the trend, among
other addictions, to habits like U.S. cases ranging from the
"genetically" kindred MySpace, Facebook, into the homicidal
maelstrom of computer games.
In my view of {anomie}, which differs in some crucial
respects from that of Durkheim et al., the cause for {anomie} is
expressed in the domain of more or less schizophrenic expressions
of {ontological nominalism}, as schizophrenia has been recognized
by relevant specialists as expressed by certain formalized uses
of language. I refer to cases like the use of certain phrases as
if they were, ontologically, "magic spells," or the like, in
which the object of the term, or phrase does not correspond to
the real-life role of man's interaction with the real world, but,
rather a game which has no systemic correspondence to the life of
the real world, but is presumed to operate through magical (e.g.,
schizophrenic) powers of symbol-mindedness.
Gambling manias are, presently, an extremely significant
expression of mass insanity of this type. Indeed, the present
financial systems of Europe and the Americas are, predominantly,
not practiced as economies, but as lunatic "the magic of the
marketplace" gambling systems which have become a dominant
feature of the mass-insanity of the majority of our population at
all income-levels. Wealth measured in terms of gambling
successes, is the form of mass-insanity which has done the most
to prompt our population to accept the lunatic changes in
policies of national economic and related practice since the U.S.
Nixon Administration's installation.
Extreme forms of reductionism ("symbolism" as a substitute
for reality), is an example of such pathetic mental behavior. The
characteristic "ideology" of MySpace and Facebook, or relevant
"computer games," expresses that pathetic kind of relative
schizophrenia: flight from an abhorred experience of reality,
like an enraged Rumpelstiltskin, tearing himself apart (suicide!)
out of rage against the futilities of those impossible dreams
called infantile fairy tales.
However, statistical economics of so-called "information
theory," like that of Bertrand Russell devotees Professor
Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann, or the methodology of the
devotees of the mystic Ernst Mach generally, share the same
formally mathematical pro-schizophrenic features:FN8 The
introduction of the radically nominalist views of the types of
Wiener and von Neumann to the subject of economic processes. That
same type of pathology is specific to the causes for the
presently crashing world monetary-financial system.
So, the typical big-time financial player in globalization,
is undergoing what is "genetically" the same sociological
effects of alienation, as {anomie} was described by France's
Emile Durkheim and his followers. The treatment of the subject of
children's games among the Franco-Swiss followers of Durkheim, is
relevant for study on this account.
Unless we change our present ways, we are, in fact, on the
verge of experiencing, as within the Americas and western and
central Europe, the same problem of mass-suicide mixed with
terrorist aggressions, used as a weapon of warfare, as a method
of combat in civil strife, a method of "terrorism," including
suicide, as at Blacksburg and Jokela, which we profess to abhor
in Southwest Asia. That will be the case for us, here in the
U.S.A. and elsewhere, too, unless we make, not mere palliatives
as "reform," but relevant kinds of systemic changes in our
general forms of social and related policy at home, now.
In that sense, the prevalent trend in taught and practiced
shaping of national and international economic policies since the
inauguration of U.S. President Richard Nixon, has placed
increasing emphasis for today's policy-shaping, on the matter of
the destruction of an economy which had been based on the
American System's traditional emphasis on growth in net physical
production per capita and per square kilometer; we require a
dramatic shift, away from the presumptions, like those associated
with the Nixon Administration's wrecking of our economy, that the
symbolic values associated with nominal monetary and financial
wealth is the scale for measurement of both moral and physical
values.
What I have presented as what the three indicated examples
of ruin typify, is not simply a spontaneous sort of social
mass-phenomenon. It is a correlative of a more than a
century-long, complex process of pathological change affecting
trends in Anglo-American military policy in particular, a change
whose effects were already clearly implicit, even decades ago,
even earlier than the lunatic plunge of the U.S.A. into
Indo-China, in the reaction of certain forces to the 1945-1946
emergence of the threatened, Anglo-American use of nuclear
weapons as characteristics of warfare.
Thus far, the most notable recent result of that change, has
been what has become known as a "revolution in military
affairs," a form or moral degeneracy associated such current
advocates of this as George Shultz, Vice-President Cheney, and
Middlebury College's Felix Rohatyn, a strategy which is also to
be recognized as comparable, in some circumstantial features, to
a very special approach to what traditional Soviet
military-strategic practice named, and practiced, as "asymmetric
warfare." It was also, most emphatically, the doctrine of
several works of Samuel P. Huntington, including his The Soldier
and the State and his Clash of Civilizations, a dogma which is
also to be associated with the policies of practice facilitated
under George Shultz's and Felix Rohatyn's backing for Chile's
Pinochet, in the Nazi-like methods applied, during the Nixon
Presidency's period, in the Southern Cone of the Americas.
It is a practice now running at full tilt under former
Defense Secretary and current Vice-President Dick Cheney in
Southwest Asia, where subjects of the Bush Administration's
tyranny, as in the U.S. Congress, have consented to continue the
game of global doom which a worse than silly, current policy of
the Bush-Cheney Administration has been playing, since that
administration used the pretext of the "9/11" incident for
unleashing the wave of mass-insanity which has dominated the
Administration and most of the U.S. Congress and press since that
orchestrated 9/11 event.
