Seguramente, la historia reflexionará sobre el estado de la civilización occidental a principios del siglo 21, con asombro y confusión. ¿Cómo --se preguntará la historia—pudo una civilización que produjo tales saltos en el conocimiento científico, una música y una poesía tan profundas, un sistema política basado en los derechos del hombre y no en los derechos de una oligarquía, cómo pudo tal civilización caer tan lejos, tan rápidamente?El Congreso en Estados Unidos, una nación que una vez representó lo más alto de la cultura occidental, ha desechado a la razón misma. Un Presidente senil llama por la unidad, mientras que su partido declara que todos los miembros del partido de oposición que ejercieron su derechos constitucional de cuestionar el evidente fraude electoral generalizado, son culpables de insurrección, mientras que impulsan un proceso de juicio político anticonstitucional en contra de un ciudadano particular, que una vez fue Presidente, con la intención de privar de sus derechos a sus 75 millones de partidarios, declarándolo incapacitado para hacer campaña para ningún cargo público. Las personas que aplaudieron a la turba anarquista que destruyó grandes partes de ciudades estadounidenses durante todo el verano —quemando estaciones de policías y edificios federales, asesinando policías— están hablando de que una manifestación preparada de antemano contra el Capitolio de EU, repleta de agentes del FBI, que sea el equivalente de la guerra de la Confederación contra la República, o incluso la guerra de Al-Qaeda contra la civilización. Lo que está detrás de esto es la bancarrota absoluta del sistema financiero occidental, en tanto que los banqueros que dirigen ese sistema imponen una nueva forma de dictadura fascista a las otrora naciones soberanas de la civilización occidental. De aquí en adelante, declaran los banqueros, la política económica no serán dirigidas por los representantes electos por el pueblo, sino por los mismos banqueros, en un “cambio de régimen” del sistema financiero occidental. Ya no se va a emitir crédito en proyectos que promuevan el interés nacional, para la producción de bienes y servicios que se requieren para avanzar el bienestar general, ni siquiera para aumentar la motivación económica de los empresarios, sino únicamente en conformidad con su intención de acabar con la sociedad industrial para salvar al planeta de las emisiones de carbono, con base a la mezcla de insensateces anticientíficas más absurda que hemos conocido desde la Edad de Piedra. La aristocracia maltusiana del castillo de Windsor está encantada con su plan macabro para llevar a la población del mundo a lo que ellos imaginan como la “capacidad de carga” de la Tierra, que está en el rango de un mil a 2 mil millones de personas. En el proceso, Wall Street y la City de Londres están creando una nueva “burbuja ecológica verde”, en un intento desesperado para oxigenar y mantener por unos meses más al sistema bancario en bancarrota. ¿Cómo es posible esto? Las drogas tienen algo que ver con esto. La destrucción de la cultura clásica y el advenimiento de la era de la fealdad, tiene muchísimo que ver con esto. El control total que ejercen unos satánicos sobre los medios y el sistema también ha contribuido, para hacer realidad el sueño de Bertrand Russell, de poder convencer a la gente de que la nieve es negra. La Organización de LaRouche, y la Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) publicaran la semana próxima un documentopara exponer este nuevofascismo ecologista verde, y para proporcionar las ideas necesarias para derrotarlo. Tenemos poco tiempo; el mundo se enfrenta hoy a una crisis general de desintegración social, y al peligro extremo de una nueva guerra mundial, que en la era de las armas termonucleares, podría acabar con toda la civilización. Por otro lado, si las ideas que hicieron posible que surgiera el Renacimiento Dorado, que impulsaron el Renacimiento Confuciano de la Dinastía Song, que fomentaron las eras de Renacimiento de la cultura islámica y de la cultura india, si estas ideas poderosas pueden ponerse al frente, como sucedió luego de las anteriores eras de tinieblas, entonces el mundo puede unirse y trabajar por una era de paz por medio del desarrollo, el desarrollo de la Tierra, de nuestro sistema solar, y más allá. Las ideas de Lyndon LaRouche están hoy más vivas que durante su vida. Él dijo una vez que cuando el mundo se enfrente a una crisis de desintegración, la gente va a voltear a su alrededor en búsqueda de quienes han venido diciendo la verdad, en vez de las mentiras que nos trajeron el colapso. No hay solución alguna para ninguna de las partes de esta crisis sin que se solucione toda la crisis global, e irónicamente, una solución como esa es hoy más accesible que nunca antes, precisamente porque el alcance de esta crisis de la humanidad está sin duda delante de nosotros. Los Presidentes de China y Rusia abordaron esa verdad en sus discursos ente el Foro de Davos la semana pasada, los cuales se van a publicar en el próximo ejemplar de la revista EIR. Helga Zepp-LaRouche abordó esa verdad en su discurso del día de Martin Luther King el pasado 18 de enero. Su discurso se publicó en la edición de EIR del 29 de enero. (Una unión más perfecta por medio de la Coincidencia de los Opuestos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHhtqM3UOjY&feature=youtu.be) Ya es tiempo de que todos los hombres y mujeres actúen, para que dominen estas ideas profundas, por el bien del potencial inmortal de la humanidad.

Two days ago, Argentine President Alberto Fernández spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin for a broad-ranging discussion on topics of mutual interest, key among which was the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine. Argentina has already acquired almost 1 million doses of Sputnik V, has begun its national vaccination campaign, and is scheduled to receive much larger quantities weekly for some months. At the same time, Fernández has been in contact with Chinese President Xi Jinping to pin down a contract for the first 1 million doses of the Sinopharm vaccine, with a goal of eventually purchasing 30 million doses. For the past year, Argentina has maintained an effective “air bridge” with China, receiving a total of 42 planeloads of medical supplies needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic.Fernández’s discussion with Putin covered a range of topics, including Russian investments in infrastructure and aerospace as well as an invitation to Fernández to visit Russia, which he readily accepted. Fernández thanked Putin effusively for providing his nation with Sputnik V and said he hoped to receive as much as possible as it has proven to be so effective, Página 12 reported him as saying. The report published by the British medical journal The Lancet confirming Sputnik V’s safety and effectiveness has received wide coverage in Argentina, much to the chagrin of the neoliberal political opposition which has attacked both the Russian and Chinese vaccines. Putin promised not only to continue meeting the terms of the contract with Argentina, but also to also make Sputnik V available to other Ibero-American nations. Fernández pointed out that Putin’s display of solidarity toward developing nations is very different from “other” unnamed nations that make it impossible for vaccines to be exported. The Russian leader further stated that he was very pleased at how joyfully Sputnik V had been received by the Argentine public—an exuberance also seen among Bolivians last weekend when the first 20,000 doses of Sputnik V arrived in that country. Vaccine production is being ramped up in Russia, and Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russia Direct Investment Fund, the sovereign investment fund, announced in a press conference that he is already in discussion with several Argentine companies, “so that we can produce Sputnik V [in the country]…. We will sign contracts with some producers,” so that production can begin in the next three months, Cronista Comercial reported him saying Feb. 2. Dmitriev wouldn’t name the companies involved, as negotiations are ongoing, but said they are “highly qualified.” The AstraZeneca vaccine is already being produced in Argentina by the national mAbxience lab.

Is Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) orchestrating the anti-Putin campaign of Aleksey Navalvny? As reported in yesterday’s Briefing, RT and Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), believe that is the case, and RT broadcast a 2012 video of the executive of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, asking a British Embassy official and reputed MI6 agent for millions of dollars. The video shows James William Thomas Ford, said to be operating under the cover of First Secretary at the British Embassy, meeting with Ashurkov at a restaurant in 2012. [https://www.rt.com/russia/514291-navalny-aide-funding-alleged-british-spy/] While RT said the FSB believed Ford to be an MI6 agent, but gave no proof, what little facts can be found on the internet, do point in that direction.A search on the website of Her Majesty’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), came up with one hit. In May 2013 Ford was a member of the British delegation at the annual U.K.-Russia Human Rights Dialogue. The delegation was led by the FCO’s Eastern Europe and Central Asia Director Colin Roberts, who raised a number of issues including the impact of the new NGO “foreign agents” law. Referring directly to Ford, the FCO document said, “British Embassy official James Ford, who participated in the talks, expressed gratitude to Russia for hosting the dialogue in Moscow….” Ford gives the following profile of himself on his Twitter account (https://twitter.com/jamesforduk?lang=en) which he opened in 2011: “British diplomat in Brussels. European foreign policy. Russia, Turkey, Balkans, Middle East. Previously in Moscow, Paris, Ankara. English-Swedish family.” The above entry is dated Aug.14, 2019 reporting that Ford drove by car from his previous posting in Ankara to Brussels. The page is current with tweets and retweets through January 2021. While the rest of the entry appears typical for a diplomat, mostly retweeting official statements. Ford’s posting in Turkey is of particular interest. He was first secretary between 2015 and 2019 according to the publication of the Turkish Foreign Ministry of the foreign diplomats. What is interesting is that the British Ambassador to Ankara between 2014 and 2017 was Richard Moore, who is now Chief of MI6 and in reality was always an MI6 agent. There is one Turkish media report of him announcing an official meeting with the governor of Hakkari province Idris Akbiyik in March 2019. The picture of their meeting includes no comment of what they discussed. Hakkari is a province at the extreme southeast, in Turkey’s Kurdish region, bordering the Kurdish regions of both Iraq and Syria. The province is the hotbed of PKK terrorist activity. Akbiyik, like all provincial governors, is appointed by the government and is also responsible for security. Akbiyikl was appointed as the new mayor of Hakkari Municipality after Cihan Karaman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party was arrested as part of an terrorism investigation. Accompanying Ford to that meeting was another first secretary, named Alfred Isaac Munro Le Prevost who is now posted at the British Embassy in Bosnia dealing with human rights. There is apparently nothing else to be found on the internet about Ford.

The choice, as one proponent of convicting Donald Trump argues, is "between the U.S. as we know it or the white supremacist mob." The author of this incendiary absurdity is an anti-Trump columnist for the Guardian newspaper of London, which has served as a relentless mouthpiece for the City of London forces behind the coup run against Trump. Why the desperation today, when he's already out of office? With their financial system heading toward an epic meltdown, the City and its U.S. allies are trying to ram through a global banker's dictatorship — the "Great Reset" — to put in place a bigger, "Green" Ponzi scheme, before the present one crashes. Don't submit to these murderous thieves, join us to put their corrupt neoliberal system into bankruptcy, and on trial for financial fraud.

U.S. European Command confirmed rumors circulating for about the past two weeks yesterday that a contingent of B-1 bombers will indeed be deploying to Norway. “For the first time in Norway, more than 200 U.S. Air Force personnel from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, with an expeditionary B-1 Lancer bomber squadron, will arrive to support upcoming Bomber Task Force (BTF) missions out of Ørland Air Base, Norway,” a Eucom release said without providing any further details. “The Airmen will be a part of the advance team for scheduled missions in the coming weeks which will occur for a limited time. While at Orland, the airmen will conduct operations in the High North and work with allies and partners across the European theater,” reported Stars & Stripes.Ørland is just over 300 miles from the Arctic Circle, about a half-hour’s flight time for a B-1. This means that Russia’s military complexes on the Kola Peninsula are well within strike range for the big bombers, a fact that the Russians undoubtedly will take notice of. According to a report in “The War Zone” website, “the deployment signals the Air Force’s increasing commitment to working alongside NATO allies and other partners on Russia’s northwest borders as well as its ability to work in the High North.” Sputnik reports the Russian Embassy in Oslo earlier said that the activation of a foreign military presence in Norway, including the placement of U.S. strategic bombers, doesn’t contribute to overall stability in the region. It also pledged to monitor the situation and vowed to implement measures to defend the security of its country and region.

As China’s first domestically produced third generation reactor goes online, Chinese nuclear officials said that they would begin to consider mass production of this type of reactor in order to export to the rest of the world. Yu Jianfeng, chairman of CNNC, said this week that the corporation will accelerate the progress of mass constructing Hualong One reactors and developing a new series of technologies in a bid to promote the Hualong One to export and achieve the target of carbon neutrality. [Ed. note, "carbon neutrality" is nonsense, but third generation nuclear reactors are certainly not.]With a design life of 60 years, the Hualong One reactor adopts a 177-reactor core design that refuels the fuel every 18 months. It innovatively uses a combination of “active and passive” safety systems and a double-shell containment, which meets the latest international nuclear safety requirements. The installed capacity of each Hualong One unit reaches nearly 1200 MWe, and each unit is able to generate nearly 10 billion kWh of electricity annually, meeting the electricity demands of 1 million people, within a setting of a moderately developed country.

In less than a week, the three exciting, much-anticipated visits to Mars are set to begin. On Feb. 9, the “Hope Mars” probe launched by the United Arab Emirates will reach Mars. On Feb. 10 China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft will reach and enter Mars’ orbit. The craft weighs five tons, and will slow down its engines enough to be tugged into Mars’ gravitational pull. On Feb. 18, NASA’s Perseverance rover is to make its landing onto the surface of Mars.Taken together, these achievements signify humanity’s potential to develop, and increase “natural” resources, on Mars, the Moon, here on Earth, and untold places beyond. As the saying goes, “the sky’s the limit,” and in fact, mankind has the power to literally expand the sky! What we urgently need, is to turn this spirit loose on Earth right now. What stands in the way is the anti-human, anti-development movement, ironically named “green,” which is downgrading production and conditions of life, insisting there are limits to growth. They hold that people foul the universe. Implementing this outlook is the fast track to de-population and war. Among the reasons this green thinking, embodied in the “Davos Agenda” of the Great Reset—now defensively renamed Stakeholder Capitalism—is being pushed so hard is that the financial system serving its core originators and backers is itself blowing out. The ESG con game (“environment, social issues, and governance”) offers them the prospect of short-term green bubbles, while they plot to put in place dictatorship over what’s left of the human race. What is required is a new system of financial practices of credit and investment, deployed in the interests of building up the productivity and achievements of nations and peoples. The thinking and programs of statesman economist Lyndon LaRouche have never been so necessary. There is a dramatic demand for his outlook and policies, ranging from activists in France—the Yellow Vests, sovereignists, and other groups—to the millions of disenfranchised in the United States, to the farmers in India. In the United States, the latest green push is to shift agriculture policy away from food and fiber production, into “carbon sequestration,” for contributing to an early “Net Zero” of CO₂. At his Senate hearing yesterday for Agriculture Secretary, Tom Vilsack—who never knew a policy he couldn’t peddle—gushed how committed he is to change over from traditional agriculture to the new green mandate. For example, he said he can’t wait to use the FDR-era Commodities Credit Corporation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has some $30 billion in it, for a new purpose of funding carbon reduction programs, not commodities. Thus, the 75-year-old agency, which has been concerned, however effectively or not, with real farmers, real food needs (such as school lunch programs) and real food—butter, wheat, corn—is now to be a destructive kook operation. Vilsack told the Senators that the CCC is “a great tool to pursue what will encourage carbon capture. I hope you would allow me the opportunity to utilize that.” Instead of this insanity, we need the “spirit of Mars” to guide a mobilization to deal with the pandemic and famine, and, in the course of that mobilization, to establish a high-productivity economy in the process. Today an internet seminar was held, centered in Germany, on this perspective, focusing on the need for rapidly building a world health security system. Speakers reported on lessons from China’s experience, including the physical logistics involved, as well as the emergency financial measures that must be taken for accomplishing these goals. It requires a whole new paradigm of thinking, said Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who gave the keynote address. She stressed international collaboration, not the conflict politics which endanger full scale war. An example of the new paradigm, of leadership in the mutual interests of nations comes from Argentina. President Alberto Fernández earlier this week spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They discussed not only the need for more Sputnik V vaccine in Argentina, but joint projects of various kinds in the future, including infrastructure and aerospace. Fernández has accepted an invitation to visit Moscow. In May, Fernández will be in Beijing conferring on cooperative ventures. China has sent 42 planeloads to Argentina in an air-bridge bringing medical supplies to fight the coronavirus. Zepp-LaRouche said yesterday in a briefing with European associates, "The only way the world will get out of this absolutely insane mess it’s in right now, is a new paradigm around cooperation around fighting the pandemic: There is not going to be any solution if there is not a modern health system in every country, and that must be the beginning of overcoming the underdevelopment in the developing sector and the so-called Global South. And obviously, for Germany and other European countries—as Hungary has already done—to start overcoming their ideological prejudices and actually cooperate on such lifesaving questions as fighting COVID-19, is a very important step. I think it also reflects the fact that, as [Chancellor Angela] Merkel said in her speech to the virtual Davos, that she is not interested in having new blocs being built, and she even mentioned in her speech, ‘the Great Reset, do we really need that?’…. “So I think all of that makes our task more urgent, more clear, because the time bomb is ticking. The danger of a blowout of the system is clearly in the air. The madness of what it would mean if there is more green policy, green transformation, means the end of European and U.S. industry, so we are not in the least in safe quarters. There are only tiny silver linings on the horizon in the cooperation around the vaccines and we should build on it.”

In an article heavily influenced by the 2018 National Defense Strategy, which defines Russia and China as strategic adversaries, published yesterday in the U.S. Naval Institute’s Proceedings, Adm. Charles Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, warned that nuclear war with Russia and China is very possible and that therefore we must reshape our nuclear deterrent to make sure it doesn’t happen. “The implications of today’s competition and the associated risk of great power crisis or direct armed conflict are profound; they affect nearly every fundamental assumption we make about the use of armed force in the defense of the nation and its allies,” Richard writes.Richard complains that for the past two decades the U.S. military has been focused on anti-terrorism operations, thus “ignoring the nuclear dimension,” while Russia and China have been aggressively modernizing and expanding their nuclear forces. “At the U.S. Strategic Command, we assess the probability of nuclear use is low, but not ‘impossible,’ particularly in a crisis and as our nuclear-armed adversaries continue to build capability and exert themselves globally,” Richard writes further. “Further, assessing risk is more than just assessing likelihood; it also involves accounting for outcomes. We cannot dismiss or ignore events that currently appear unlikely but, should they occur, would have catastrophic consequences.” Richard goes on to give the entire laundry list of offenses and “aggressions” of which Russia and China are supposedly guilty, offenses that, of course, require a response from the U.S. “We must actively compete to hold their aggression in check; ceding to their initiatives risks reinforcing their perceptions that the United States is unwilling or unable to respond, which could further embolden them. Additionally, our allies may interpret inaction as an unwillingness or inability to lead. Remaining passive may deny us opportunities to position in ways that underpin one of our greatest strengths: strategic power projection.” “Faced with Russia and China’s growing threats and gray zone actions, the United States must take action today to position itself for the future,” Richard declares. “We must start by acknowledging that our most fundamental assumption—that strategic deterrence will hold, even through crisis and conflict—is going to be tested in ways not seen before.” Unfortunately, he continues, “our opponents invested in nuclear and strategic capabilities designed to constrain U.S. actions, test our alliances, and, if necessary, escalate past us—to include nuclear use. There is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would threaten the regime or state. Consequently, the U.S. military must shift its principal assumption from ’nuclear employment is not possible” to “nuclear employment is a very real possibility,’ and act to meet and deter that reality. We cannot approach nuclear deterrence the same way. It must be tailored and evolved for the dynamic environment we face.” This is clearly an argument for continuing the sweeping modernization plan for the U.S. nuclear arsenal and is perfectly in line with Pompeo’s scorched-earth approach to U.S. policy on China while in office, something that Richard cites in the article. The Washington Times reports that Richard said in an interview that the article, which was actually written last September, is meant to energize Navy leaders regarding the rapidly changing threat environment and how to provide the best military advice to civilian leaders. “In this new era of competition, this will be the first time in our nation’s history that we will have to face two nuclear-capable peers by the end of this decade,” he said. “We’ve assumed strategic deterrence will hold in the future, but as the threat environment changes, this may not be the case,” he added. “We need to be ready to respond to cross-domain threats to ensure the security of our nation and allies by thinking holistically about strategic deterrence in the 21st century.” Strategic nuclear competition should be viewed as maintaining relative advantage over competitors, with the United States seeking to play the dominant role. “As a department, we are wise to establish unity of effort in addressing Russian and Chinese aggression, while understanding they require different deterrence approaches, and incorporating that thinking into professional military education at the earliest opportunity,” Adm. Richard said. The same day, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger placed an op-ed in the Washington Post which, while focused on military readiness rather than nuclear deterrence, was based on the same assumptions about Russia and China from the National Defense Strategy.

One would never mistake the U.S. Congress as a place where actual work gets done on behalf of the American people. As Democrats prepare their insane drive to impeach former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) Jan. 17 charge that “the enemy is within the House of Representatives,” has exacerbated already sharp divisions and encouraged a vendetta against any Republican who dared to defend, or just side with Trump. Similar polarization is evident in the Senate, where the Senate Ethics Committee is now investigating Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, for the “crime” of having questioned the election certification during the Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 6, as the Constitution allows him to do.Pelosi now claims that House members will have to pay additional money to protect themselves in their Washington, D.C., offices and in their home states, allegedly because Trump is “fanning the flames” of violence and insurrection, endangering the safety of House members, while his allies in the House are also threatening fellow legislators, because they want to bring guns onto the floor of the House. Pelosi has ordered the installation of magnetometers outside the House chamber so that no one can enter with weapons. Any member who refuses to be screened will be fined. As former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard warned on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” Jan. 29, Pelosi’s remarks are “incredibly dangerous,” given how divided and “on edge” the country is. If there is evidence that Members are being threatened, she said, that’s serious, and law enforcement should be brought in to investigate. But if there’s no evidence to substantiate Pelosi’s claims, she added, then this is simply “inciting further division and further harm potentially, and further destroying the possibility of our country coming together.” How dangerous Pelosi’s remarks are is seen in the hysterical attacks underway to punish or expel Republicans because they support Trump or allege that vote fraud did occur on Nov. 3. One target is Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Green, an ardent and outspoken Trump supporter, who won her seat on Nov. 3 with 75% of the vote. In the past she has supported QAnon and made controversial remarks in 2018 and 2019 that she later retracted. But Democrats now want her removed from the House Education and Labor Committee and Budget Committee for making “incendiary” remarks. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) called Taylor-Green “a cancer for the Republican Party,” who peddles “loony lies and conspiracy theories.” Yesterday, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Ted Deutch of Florida, and Jahana Hayes of Connecticut introduced a resolution demanding Green’s removal from the two committees, to “reduce the future harm that she can cause in Congress, and deny her a seat at committee tables where fact-based policies will be drafted.” This is a “suitable punishment and a proper restraint of her influence,” said Wasserman Shultz, RT reported. Last weekend, Pelosi accused House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) of being the leader of the QAnon party for appointing Green to the two committees in the first place. Wasserman Shultz is warning that if Republicans don’t act on the resolution, she will then bring it to the House floor for a vote. According to RT, House Democrats want to actually force a vote on Greene’s expulsion, forcing Republicans to take a position on the matter. (Observers with memory will recall Ms. Wasserman Shultz’s nasty efforts to undercut the campaigns of Sen. Sanders and Rep. Gabbard on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016.)

The Congress in the United States, a nation which once represented the highest stage of Western culture, has dismissed reason itself. A senile President is calling for unity, while his party is declaring that all those in the opposition party who exercised their constitutional right to challenge the pervasive and self-evident vote fraud are guilty of insurrection, while bringing an unconstitutional impeachment process against a private citizen who was once the President, attempting to disenfanchise his 75 million supporters by declaring him ineligible of ever again running for office. The people who cheered on the anarchist mobs who destroyed large portions of American cities all summer long—burning down police stations and federal buildings, killing policemen—are declaring a pre-planned riot at the U.S. Capitol, full of FBI stringers, to be the equivalent of the Confederacy’s war on the Republic, or even of al-Qaeda’s war on civilization.Behind this is the utter bankruptcy of the Western financial system, while the bankers who run that system are imposing a new form of fascist dictatorship upon the once sovereign nations of Western civilization. Henceforth, the bankers have declared, economic policies shall not be run by elected representatives of the people, but by the bankers themselves, in a “regime change” of the Western financial system. Credit shall no longer be issued in projects promoting the national interest, for the production of goods and services required to advance the general welfare, nor even to advance the profit motive of entrepreneurs, but rather, in conformance with their insistence to shut down industrial society to save the planet from carbon, based on the most absurd anti-scientific concoction of nonsense since the Stone Age. The Malthusian royals in Windsor Castle are delighted in their ghoulish drive to bring the world population down to their imagined “carrying capacity” of the Earth, in the range of 1-2 billion. In the process, a new “Green Bubble” is being created on Wall Street and in the City of London, in a desperate attempt to sustain the bankrupt banking system for yet a few more months. How is this possible? Drugs have something to do with it. The destruction of Classical culture and the advent of the Age of Ugliness has a great deal to do with it. The total control of the media and the educational system by satanists has also contributed, carrying out Bertrand Russell’s dream of being able to convince anyone that snow is black. The LaRouche Organization and EIR will release next week a White Paper to both expose this new Green fascism, and to provide the necessary ideas to defeat it. There is little time—the world is now faced with a general social breakdown crisis, and the extreme danger of a new global war, which, in the age of thermonuclear weapons, could end civilization altogether. On the other hand, if the ideas which spurred the Golden Renaissance, which spurred the Confucian Renaissance of the Song Dynasty, which spurred the renaissance eras in Islamic culture and Indian culture—if these powerful ideas can be brought to the fore, as they have following earlier dark ages, then the world can come together for an age of peace through development—development of our Earth, our Solar System, and beyond. Lyndon LaRouche’s ideas are more alive today than during his lifetime. He once said that when the world faces a breakdown crisis, people will look around to find out who had been telling the truth, rather than the lies that brought on the collapse. There is no solution to any part of this crisis without a solution to the entire global crisis, and, ironically, such a solution is more accessible today than ever before, precisely because the scope of this crisis of mankind is now unmistakably before us. The Chinese and the Russian Presidents addressed that truth in their speeches at Davos last week, which will be published in the next issue of EIR. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed that truth in her speech on Martin Luther King Day (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHhtqM3UOjY&feature=youtu.be) It is time for all men and women to act, to master these profound ideas, for the sake of mankind’s immortal potential.
