Report from Massachusetts: Rachel Brown Campaign's Singing Makes Barney Scream!

Brookline, MA -- The Rachel Brown Congressional campaign hosted a very high level and unorthodox campaign event on Thursday, August 5th; a community classical concert aimed at getting under the skins and into the souls of the generally liberal community of Brookline and Newton, MA. Here, in the heart of Barney Frank's supposed-strong-hold, more than thirty people came to the concert held at the Brookline Library. Some were just curious, and didn't stay for very long, but others were absolutely concentrated and riveted by the combination of music and Rachel Brown's speech on the optimism and creative spirit of the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) infrastructure project.

The campaign's organizing into the event was varied, and the attendees of the event reflected that. One key flank was the revival of an old Boston LaRouche Youth Movement tradition; singing on the trains! The campaign also took their music to the streets in the days leading into the event, and distributed leaflets advertising the event at various classical concerts in and around Boston. But, it was not so much the form of the organizing, but the fact that the members of the campaign challenged people to reject the degenerate culture of the Baby Boomer generation that keeps electing Barney Frank, acknowledging that, in a revolutionary period, people are open to recognizing how destructive the culture has been and are ready to embrace something much more beautiful.

The entire event began with Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus," to set a serious tone to the concert, and to give people a sense of the kind of level they were being challenged to reach. The event itself cannot be described in words, and is best viewed on www.rachelforcongress.com, but the responses in some cases, were explosive. The audience was a mixture of youth, middle-aged people, longer-term supporters of the campaign, and some people who had just met the campaign in the recent few days. One young lady came after seeing and hearing the members of the campaign singing on the train, and brought her brother. Although she is a "canvasser" for another campaign, she immediately recognized (through the music) that Rachel Brown is fighting for a certain philosophical world outlook that nobody else has.

Members of the audience were struck by a presentation about the historical personality of Mozart, presented by campaign leader Malene Robinson, who challenged the people in the room to not let the culture of the United States become degenerate like the French Revolution. It is critical that the people present in the audience were enabled to gain a perspective from which to reflect on the failures of their society, and compare, for example, the culture of acceptance that allowed Hitler into power, with the culture that we have today, one which would put a Hitler-like failed personality like Obama into our nation's highest office and would continue to elect a treasonous degenerate like Barney Frank.

There were many discussions among the audience and members of the campaign team following the concert, but one of the key inflection points in the event came during J. S. Bach's "Sicut locutus est", a choral fugue from the Magnificat, during which the audience was clearly electrified, to the point where some were conducting the music to themselves. The chorus ended the concert where it began, with the "Ave Verum Corpus", by Mozart. Malene Robinson, during her discussion of the historic personality of Mozart, set the scene: "imagine you are a group of mourners who are looking at the dead corpse of your leader, who led a revolution, and is now dead, and the whole world is collapsing around you. . .and you ask yourself, 'what does this mean for me?'" This suddenly became a very real question for everybody in that room. Ask yourself: has it become a real question for you?
