Happy Ides of March - Lyndon LaRouche celebrated (a couple of days early) with a webcast

He had much to celebrate - his war on alleged British-proxy Obama has taken a significant step forward...

Never mind the beef-cake Scotty Brown who took Teddy Kennedy's seat last Jan., which event was supposedly the T.E.A. [taxed enough already] tide-turner against Obama & Congressional Democrats, as well as R.I.N.O.s [Republicans in name only]... It was clear that this pretty-boy was just another Benedict (like Beck & Palin), who can feign cuddling up with the Constitution easily enough, but when it comes to actions...

OpenCongress: McCain and Lieberman's Nightmarish Detention Bill

As we read at the bottom of the article: the bill "has nine co-sponsors, including the newly-elected Sen. Scott Brown [R, MA]." Such co-sponsoring demonstrates a clear disdain of Constitutional principle (and that of the Magna Carta to boot).

No , the real tide-turner (if things pan out) came in an obscure congressional primary in a Texas district populated in large part by NASA employees - it's the home of the Johnson Space Center... None other than a LaRouchite won in a landslide (53%, leaving the Democrat's sanctioned candidate in the 20%s) while openly campaigning on a platform of impeaching the President.

LaRouche himself waxed poetic...

The pillars of the Philistine's political temple have just been pulled down. Somewhere, the voice of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley is heard laughing with joy, for, in fact, in times like these, great and growing numbers of the people are "compelled to serve, the power which is seated on the throne of their own soul."

...in his ode: Kesha's Victory

Yes, her name is Kesha - not to be confused of course with Ke$ha, the siren of slut-pop...

Kesha Rogers, as a member of the LaRouche Youth Movement, advocates a Hamiltonian, credit-based financial system, as opposed to British-backed monetarism which presently is in the throws of downfall.

Given the circumstances of this downfall, we've been contemplating the dollar sign in Ke$ha's name. Is this a nod to monetarism? It would seem not. As she explains on the Wendy Williams Show:

Williams said "we say 'Kesha,' but you say 'Cash-a.' And the 'S' is the money [sign]. What is that all about?"

Ke$ha: "Well it kinda came from 'Right Round' (rapper Flo Rida's number one single on which Ke$ha made an uncredited appearance) and I didn't make any money off of it, [so] I'm kinda being ironic about it," Ke$ha said. "I could hear [the song] everywhere" but was so broke "I couldn't buy a taco."

If we might presume to make more from these comments than perhaps was intended, does Ke$ha implicitly advocate another alternative to monetarism? That is: financial value should be derived from self-declared determinations of intrinsic worth, communicated as pure information (rather than as the representational information of money). We allude here to the theory of Information Currency. While it is perhaps a stretch to suggest Ke$ha is a champion of this, it is no stretch to acknowledge a decidedly more infamous advocate, namely the Pentagon shooter John Patrick Bedell, whose works on the subject are collected on the Tekgnosis blog:

Pentagon Shooter John Patrick Bedell Archive

This Bedell and his suicide-by-cop has been exploited to the full by the "drive-by-media" in slandering everything from 9/11 Truthers to the Memphis Police, but little noticed thus far is this obscure but burgeoning economic theory, to which he has explicitly (and Ke$ha, implicitly) drawn our attention.
