Ruinous Ideals of 1789 [01]
Excerpt from [01]: " ... A movement ostensibly directed against despotism
culminated in the establishment of a despotism far more complete than
that which had been overthrown. The apostles of liberty
proscribed whole classes of their fellow-citizens, drenching in
innocent blood the land which they claimed to deliver from
oppression. The apostles of equality established a tyranny of horror,
labouring to extirpate all who had committed the sin of being
fortunate. The apostles of fraternity carried fire and sword to
the farthest confines of Europe, demanding that a continent should
submit to the arbitrary dictation of a single people. And of the
Revolution were born the most rigid of modern codes of law, that spirit of militarism
which today has caused a world to mourn, that intolerance of
intolerance which has armed anti-clerical persecutions in all
lands. Nor were the actors in the drama less varied than the
scenes enacted. The Revolution produced Mirabeau and Talleyrand,
Robespierre and Napoleon, Sieyès and Hébert. The
marshals of the First Empire, the doctrinaires of the Restoration, the
journalists of the Orleanist monarchy, all were alike the children of
this generation of storm and stress, of high idealism and gross
brutality, of changing fortunes and glory mingled with disaster. ... " -
" ... Liberty was sacrificed to efficiency; equality to man's
love for titles of honour; fraternity to desire of glory. So it
has been with all human effort. Man is imperfect, and his
imperfection mars his fairest achievements. Whatever great
movement may be considered, its ultimate attainment has fallen far
short of its initial promise. The authors of the Revolution were
but men; they were no more able than their fellows to discover and to
hold fast to the true way of happiness. They wavered between the
two extremes of despotism and anarchy; they declined from the path of
grace. And their task remained unfulfilled. Many of their
dreams were far from attaining realisation; they inaugurated no era of
perfect bliss; they produced no Utopia. But their labour was not in
vain. Despite its disappointments, despite all its crimes and
blunders, the French Revolution was a great, a wonderful event.
It did contribute to the uplifting of humanity, and the world is the
better for its occurrence. ..."

Hoffnung Europas gegenüber den zersetzenden Ideen von 1789 [01][02][03][04] ...
Text-Quelle: [01]
- Text-Auszug: " ... Die romantische Bewegung [01], wie sie in Deutschland als ganz
bewußte Gegenbewegung zur Weimarer Klassik auftrat, in anderen
europäischen Nationen hingegen in etwas andere Erscheinungsformen
auftrat, bedeutete einen dramatischen Bruch, weil sie die Grundlagen
und die Identität dessen zu zersetzen suchte, was man gemeinhin unter
"europäischer Kultur" versteht.
Der Beginn dieser Kultur liegt in
der Herauskristallisierung des griechischen klassischen Denkens von
Homer über die großen Tragödiendichter, bis mit Plato endlich das wissenschaftliche Denken
etabliert wurde. Erst dann herrschte Gewißheit, daß die Welt nicht
durch von Magie und Dämonen beherrscht ist, auf die der Mensch nur
durch Aberglauben und Manipulation irrationaler Mächte reagieren kann, sondern daß der Mensch fähig ist, gültige
Ideen über das physische Universum zu entwickeln, daß dieses Universum
auf gesetzmäßige Weise, nach dem Logos [01] organisiert ist und daß sich
diese das Universum beherrschende Vernunft in Schönheit widerspiegelt.
In diesem Sinne stellte die Entwicklung der europäischen Kultur einen
gewaltigen Fortschritt über die Barbarei Mesopotamiens, Babylons und
anderer Imperien dar. Die griechische Klassik war die Geburtsstunde
der Menschenwürde und der Menschenrechte.
Nachdem Leibniz die
platonisch-christliche Tradition nach dem (zweiten) Dreißigjährigen Krieg (1618 bis 1648) neu
belebt und deren wissenschaftliche Methode auf ein neues Niveau gehoben
hatte und nachdem vor allem Lessing und Mendelssohn den üblen Einfluß
der englischen und französischen Aufklärung [01][02]
bekämpft und so den Boden für die Weimarer Klassik [03][04] bereitet
hatten, war es vor allem die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Schiller, Goethe,
Wilhelm von Humboldt [05] und ihren Freunden, welche die Entwicklung der
klassischen Kultur auf eine bis dahin unerreichte Höhe führte.
Es hat niemals ein höheres Ideal des
Menschen, eine noblere Idee der Freiheit gegeben, die es jedem Menschen
potentiell ermöglicht, eine schöne Seele und ein Genie zu werden, als
es in den Werken dieser Männer zelebriert wurde. Und niemals wurde das
Prinzip der klassischen Komposition bei Dramen und Gedichten und in der
Musik weiter und tiefer entwickelt als hier.
Der größere historische Kontext
dieser Periode war durch die Amerikanische Revolution bestimmt, mit der
erstmals ein souveräner republikanischer Nationalstaat errichtet wurde.
Das war eine so große Niederlage für das Britische Empire und George
III., daß dieser darüber buchstäblich den Verstand verlor. Aber das
amerikanische Modell sollte nicht nur auf Amerika beschränkt bleiben.
Es war die Absicht der späteren Präsidenten John Adams, John Quincy
Adams und James Monroe, daß sich das Konzept eines souveränen
Nationalstaates [01] und einer Regierung, die dem Allgemeinwohl und den
unveräußerlichen Rechten aller seiner Bürger verpflichtet ist, auf dem
ganzen Globus verbreiten sollte. Auf diese Weise könnten dann völlig
souveräne Staaten in einer Prinzipiengemeinschaft im Interesse der
ganzen Menschheit zusammenarbeiten. Das waren die politischen Ideen,
die Schiller und alle republikanischen Kräfte in Europa inspirierten." {Ende des Auszugs}

Report: Therapist feared scientist poisoned people
By DAVID DISHNEAU and LARA JAKES JORDAN (Associated Press Writers)
From Associated Press
August 02, 2008 8:59 PM EDT
FREDERICK, Md. - Bruce
E. Ivins, the late microbiologist suspected in the 2001 anthrax
attacks, had attempted to poison people and his therapist said she was
"scared to death" of him, according to court testimony that emerged
Saturday.
Social worker Jean Duley
testified at a court hearing in Frederick on July 24 in a successful
bid for a protective order from Ivins - who five days later committed
suicide - that he "actually attempted to murder several other people."
Ivins took a fatal dose
of Tylonel as federal authorities monitored his movements and prepared
to charge him with the murder of five people who died from anthrax
poisonining in the weeks after the Sept. 2001 terror attacks.
An audio recording of the court session was obtained by The New York Times and posted it on its Web site.
"As far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually attempted to murder several other people, either through poisoning. He is a revenge killer. When
he feels that he's been slighted or has had - especially toward women -
he plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings," Duley said.
She
added that Ivins "has been forensically diagnosed by several top
psychiatrists as a sociopathic, homicidal killer. I have that in
evidence. And through my working with him, I also believe that to be
very true."
Ivins, 62, who worked at
an Army biodefense laboratory at Fort Detrick, took his own life
Tuesday as federal authorities were closing in after investigating him
for more than a year in connection with the deaths of five people
poisoned by anthrax sent through the mail.
Answers to one of the
nation's highest profile unsolved mysteries are in documents that could
be released as early as this week - and help explain how the government
chased the wrong suspect for years.
Prosecutors were mulling
this weekend whether to close the anthrax poisoning investigation,
possibly as early as Monday or Tuesday. If that happens, court
documents detailing newly developed scientific evidence that recently
led the government to Ivins may be unsealed.
Five people died and 17
others were sickened when anthrax-laced letters began showing up at
congressional offices, newsrooms and post offices soon after Sept. 11,
2001.
After wrongly
investigating Army scientist Steven Hatfill, the FBI more than a year
ago began looking at Ivins, who worked at the same military lab. Ivins, a decorated scientist who was working on an anthrax cure, killed himself last Tuesday.
Two U.S. officials said
victims and their survivors could be briefed as early as Tuesday on the
final piece of the bioterrorism attacks that confounded the government.
The Justice Department
attributed the break in the case to "new and sophisticated scientific
tools" that cost the FBI about $10 million. Investigators said the
science focused, in part, on how the anthrax strains were handled and
who had access to it at the time of the mailings.
FBI scientists were able
to isolate strains used in the attacks, and determined they were not as
common as previously thought. And that led investigators to Ivins.
Had the same process
been available years ago, it would have cleared Hatfill much earlier,
according to two people familiar with the FBI investigation who spoke
on condition of anonymity because the case is not officially closed.
The Army refused
Saturday to say whether it had been reviewing the security clearance of
the chief suspect in the anthrax attacks who had mental problems and
killed himself as federal prosecutors were planning to indict him.
Ivins was removed from
his lab in Maryland by police on July 10 and temporarily hospitalized,
according to court records, because it was feared that he was a danger
to himself and others. But it was unclear whether he was still employed
by the lab at the time of his death Tuesday.
That raises the question
of whether Ivins still had his security clearance and, if so, how he
kept it, given that his social worker said Ivins had been viewed as
homicidal and sociopathic by his psychiatrist.
Army spokesman Paul Boyce declined to comment on Ivins' case.
Boyce didn't respond to a question on what type of clearance microbiologists at the lab would have to hold.
David R. Franz, a former
commander of the Army's lab biological warfare labs at Fort Detrick,
Md., where Ivins worked, said Saturday he thought it was "very
important that the FBI present their case against Bruce and not just
state that the investigation was over because it was him and he's gone."
Franz added, "I'm
concerned about what closing this case without conclusive evidence
might do to harm our life sciences enterprise. ... I think we as
Americans need to see the proof."
Initially, FBI profilers
said they probably were looking for a loner with a scientific
background. Maybe he had a grudge against the lawmakers and news
organizations. Investigators also considered possible links to
al-Qaida, the terrorist group behind the 9/11 attacks.
Intensive focus
initially settled on Hatfill, who for years accused the government of
unfairly targeting him. In late June, the government exonerated Hatfill
and paid him a $5.82 million settlement.
With that, the
government seemed no closer to solving the "Amerithrax" mystery. But,
quietly, investigators were closing in on a different scientist, Ivins.
A murder indictment and
the possibility of the death penalty could have produced a high-profile
climax to the case. Shadowed by the FBI, Ivins died Tuesday from a
Tylenol overdose, leaving the probe in limbo and a nation seeking
answers.
"It's a shame the man is
not here with us. We might have known more," said Maureen Stevens,
whose husband, Bob, was the first anthrax victim.
Former Senate Democratic
leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, said: "I think the FBI owes us a
complete accounting of their investigation and ought to be able to tell
us at some point, how we're going to bring this to closure." Daschle's
office received a letter containing the deadly white powder in 2001.
Among the unanswered
questions is why the anthrax was sent. The FBI was investigating
whether Ivins, renowned for his work developing anthrax vaccines and
treatment, released the toxin to test those cures. Ivins was one of
several scientists named in an application for a vaccine patent 18
months before the attacks.
Another puzzle is what
finally led the FBI to focus on Ivins a year or so ago. Ivins attracted
some attention for conducting unauthorized anthrax testing in the six
months following the anthrax mailings, but the FBI focus stayed on
Hatfill.
As Ivins' name emerged,
so did a portrait of a conflicted, troubled man. His friends knew him
as the man who played the keyboard at church, a Red Cross volunteer who
was an avid juggler and gardener.
Others saw a darker
side. Police recently removed him from work, fearing he was a danger to
himself or others. Social worker Duley filed for a restraining order in
a Maryland court.
"Client has a history
dating to his graduate days of homicidal threats, plans and actions
towards therapists," Duley wrote in court documents last week, adding
that his psychiatrist had described him as homicidal and sociopathic.
Ivins' brother, Tom
Ivins, said he had not spoken to Bruce Ivins since 1985, but
acknowledged the possibility his brother may have been the anthrax
mailer.
"It makes sense, what the social worker said," Tom Ivins said. "He considered himself like a god."
Ivins' lawyer, Paul F.
Kemp, asserted the scientist's innocence and said he would have proved
it at trial. Kemp said his client's death was the result of the
government's "relentless pressure of accusation and innuendo."
Maryland's chief medical
examiner, Dr. David Fowler, confirmed Saturday that Ivins died Tuesday
morning at Frederick, Md., Memorial Hospital; that the cause of death
was found to be an overdose of acetaminophen, the active drug in
Tylenol; and that it was ruled a suicide based on information from
police and doctors.
