We're pausing our Saturday Wrap-Up today to celebrate Independence Day weekend with family and friends. As we honor the brave founders who declared our independence 249 years ago, we're reminded that the fight for American freedom continues today.
Today we celebrate the birth of the greatest republic in human history—founded on unleashing human creativity and productive power. As we face oligarchical forces, we must return to our founding principles and Trump's Agenda 47.
Next year marks the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, but we're facing the same British imperial enemy our founders fought. This July 4th offers the chance to forge alliances that can finally defeat them.
Russian President Putin’s surprise appointment of economist Andrei Belousov as Russia’s Defense Minister last week, heralds big changes in Russia. Defense industry hi-tech will be integrated for high payoffs in the civilian economy—but that’s only the beginning. Putin and his government are moving to build a new, young Russian elite around veterans of the Ukraine war. But what sort of elite? Belousov is being mentioned as a potential successor to Putin if he succeeds. He sees this as a multi-generational project to carry forward Russia’s Christian “cultural code.”
For all the differences between Russia and America, we have to do the same thing here. We’ll compare what Belousov said with statements of Lyndon LaRouche, and with earlier editions of our “Strategic Update.”
