Join us this Thursday night, January 14th at 9:00 pm eastern for The LaRouche Organization's weekly Fireside Chat. Our topic for the discussion is the recently publicized preview in China of their economic intentions: their new Five Year Plan. China's top government economists shocked diplomats from around the world at a recent briefing. They outlined their plan to supercharge each and every area of the economy with a "science driver" of unprecedented rates of innovation in new technologies. Space travel, quantum computing, high speed transport, fusion energy, high-tech automated farming will be the driver of monetary policy, not short term paper profits!Beyond that, a surprise announcement was made in China. That shocking surprise, its background — and its meaning for Americans — will be described by our guests Richard A. Black, the Schiller Institute representative at the UN, and Asia expert Michael O. Billington, co-editor of the Executive Intelligence Review weekly magazine, who will be joining the evening’s moderator, Dennis Speed.

The second impeachment of President Trump has nothing to do with the accusation that he engaged in "incitement of insurrection" — how do you incite something that was pre-planned, and known to be operational? It was the latest in a string of frauds, e.g. Russiagate, Impeachment 1.0, etc. — designed to bring the U.S. back into full participation in wars and geopolitical provocations, and financial swindles, run by global corporate cartels, which now include those Big Tech firms run by Davos billionaires and hedge funds. Their system is collapsing, so they are racing to set up the "Great Reset."

Yesterday afternoon, the House of Representatives voted up impeachment against President Donald Trump 232 to 197, just seven days before his term ends in any case, and the latest in a string of operations to nullify the U.S. Presidency, involving baseless accusations against Trump of Russiagate, the Mueller Report, racism, impeachment I, and now, impeachment II.Regarding this latest instance, every hour, more comes out verifying how the “insurrection” that Trump is accused of inciting—in today’s single article of impeachment against him—was in fact a staged affair. It was part of an overall orchestration of events and personalities to whip up a popular frenzy in which “emergency management” can be imposed upon the American people and institutions. This is the nature of what was done in the historic case of the Reichstag fire in 1933, and in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. This is what we are up against now, and can defeat, provided we understand it “from the top,” and take countermeasures from the highest level. The Big Tech social and regular media companies—an arm of London/Wall Street and intelligence networks—have blatantly moved in to shut down communications of President Trump, and thousands of others. We received a report tonight that a CNN commentator declared after the impeachment and other anti-Trump actions, “We will make Trump disappear, just like we made outlaw Lyndon LaRouche go away.” So much for what they know. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a ringing denunciation of the madness, and lawlessness of the communications crackdown underway in the United States, saying this morning that, “the Statue of Liberty is turning red with anger, because it does not want to be turned into an empty symbol…. Freedom is even in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.” Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald said last evening on Fox News that the Big Tech corporations have “more power than nations.” Others are speaking out. Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed the whole picture today, in a webcast, “We Are Sitting on a Powder Keg—It’s Not Just Vote Fraud.” Among her points, she stressed that the operations against Trump, the suppression of any proper judicial or Congressional hearings on election irregularities and fraud, and all the rest, are a pretext to crush anyone who would oppose the agenda of the trans-Atlantic establishment, in imposing its green dictatorship Great Reset Initiative. The Wall Street/London half-century of casino economics is over, and their chosen recourse is the Great Reset, which are policies publicly promoted by the World Economic Forum, that will result in mass depopulation. Zepp-LaRouche said, “I think that the same banks and same big corporations—especially including Silicon Valley, Wall Street, but also the City of London—what these people are aware of, is that their system is completely bankrupt, and they’re now preparing for what they call the Great Reset. This is supposed to be featured big time, with a virtual seminar, starting on the 25th of January. This is supposed to be announced big time from the 25th of January until the 29th. And supposed to reorganize the entire financing system so that only Green finance is allowed. And that’s already started to happen with the major banks.” It has nothing to do with the environment, which is just an excuse, but is a drastic downgrade of technology and the means to support life. One of the most outspoken advocates of depopulation, Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb in 1968, just co-authored an article out today calling for lowering “fertility and consumption” by humans, in order to protect the “biocapacity” of the Earth, and saying that one agency which understands that radical action must be taken, is the World Economic Forum. What is required is a complete shift in policies. The added impetus is the present danger of conflicts flaring up into all-out war. Mike Pompeo, true to form ’til the last of his tenure at the State Department, is doing everything possible to ignite trouble. Yesterday, he gave a National Press Club briefing on how Iran is the home base for al-Qaeda, and must be penalized. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed how to think about what must be done, speaking of the necessity of “working together in solving problems to rebuild the United States … and moving the relations among nations to a completely different paradigm. You have to make up your mind: Do you want to have war with Russia and China and blow up the whole world in a nuclear war, leading to the complete annihilation of the human species? Or do you want to have an approach of a new paradigm, solving problems together.”

Forget all the pious moaning about how the events of January 6 were an "insurrection against our democracy." It was in reality a pretext, to be used to bring about a phase change, just as 9/11 was used to put the U.S. into permanent wars and a surveillance state. Today, the impeachment against President Trump is intended to show his 74 million voters that no opposition will be tolerated to what the Trans-Atlantic establishment intends: more wars and censorship, as they move to impose the Great Reset, which is a global banker's dictatorship designed to dramatically reduce the world's population.

On Monday, the Democrats introduced articles of impeachment, declaring that it is an impeachable offense to have challenged the vote fraud in the Nov. 3 election.They intend to vote it up, essentially without debate, on Wednesday. They also introduced a bill to remove from Congress every Republican who challenged the vote fraud, based on the 14th Amendment, which was designed to prevent Confederate leaders who had fought in the insurrection against the Union from becoming Congressmen. Get it? Challenging vote fraud is the same as waging a four-year bloody war against the Union in support of slavery and free trade. Meanwhile, the Democrats, and many Republicans, and of course the media, cheer on the fact that all major social media have denied access to the President of the United States, essentially silencing the President from his 73 million supporters. The First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in America, and the Constitution as a whole, are being shredded.The world is shocked. Mexican President Lopez Obrador told the world that America is losing its freedom, that a new “Holy Inquisition” is coming into being which is a danger to the entire world. Similar sentiments are coming from every part of the world. At the same time, the bankers in the City of London and Wall Street are implementing the Great Reset, the “regime change” of the world financial system (as former Bank of England chief Mark Carney called it) into a post-industrial enforcement arm of the Green New Deal, denying credit to all fossil fuels, to most industry, and to modern high-tech agriculture. It is a system which can sustain at most 1-2 billion people. Do its sponsors know that? It is their intent. As Prince Philip famously said: “Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term threat to survival. We’re in for a major disaster if it isn’t curbed—not just for the natural world, but for the human world. The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war.” Trump’s unacceptable dedication to progress, the oligarchy would like to think, has been crushed, as the Green New Deal is about to take over the United States under the senile Joe Biden. They are taking no chances, however, and have thus ripped up the Constitution in order to silence the President and all who support him. There is another danger facing these genocidalists, perhaps an even greater threat: China. Not only has China become the first nation in history to eliminate abject poverty, through mass infrastructure development and universal scientific and cultural education, but they are taking that method—once known as the “American System”—to the rest of the world, through the New Silk Road, the Belt and Road Initiative. Nations across the developing sector, and even in Europe, have ridiculed madman Mike Pompeo’s effort to unite the world against China as a threat to “our way of life” and the “rule of law.” The Asian nations united with China last November to create a fair trade system called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The EU in December signed a “Comprehensive Agreement on Investment,” to expand mutual trade and investment with China. African and South American nations look to China for the real development aid they have been denied under IMF-World Bank austerity dictates. The Anglo-American oligarchy is not pleased. With Pompeo as their leading hitman, they are willing to risk war with China, even nuclear war, to crush the Belt and Road. Not only has Pompeo directed the imposition of expansive sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals—sanctions which are doing more damage to American firms than to those in China—but he has now declared war on the “One China” policy, which has been the basis for peace and collaboration over these past fifty years. By lifting all special conditions for US relations with Taiwan, essentially treating Taiwan as an independent nation, rather than honoring the “One Country, Two Systems” policy which has maintained peace and prosperity in the region, Pompeo is threatening one of China’s core interests, its sovereignty. As you will see below, the Chinese will not shy away from the danger of war if their sovereignty is challenged. One must keep in mind what Bertrand Russell said, which stands, still today, as the ideological foundation of the Empire. To deal with the overpopulation problem, the good Lord said: “War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full.” Of course, with the advent of nuclear weapons, Lord Russell became more confident that war could kill enough people to solve the problem, advocating that the US launch a nuclear war on Russia before they could build their own bomb. The resolution to this existential crisis exists. The pandemic has threatened the lives of millions, not only death by the virus, but death by starvation. Never has the world been more in need of international cooperation to meet a crisis facing the entire world. Helga Zepp-LaRouch has initiated such cooperation, based on addressing the desperate health crisis facing all nations, rich and poor, due to the breakdown of public health in the advanced sector over the past decades through “privatization,” and the denial of public health facilities to large parts of Africa and Asia through IMF “conditionalities.” No nation alone can solve this crisis. Rather than war and the new fascism now threatening the United States, we call on President Trump to use his last days in the White House to call Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and other nations of good will, to join forces with the US in a global campaign to build modern health facilities in every nation on Earth. We call on each of you to join Zepp-LaRouche’s “Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites,” to address this health and food crisis as the starting point for a new paradigm for mankind.

In her weekly dialogue, Helga Zepp LaRouche looked at the events of January 6 from the top down, providing the viewers with a strategic overview which will never appear in the mainstream media, or from the so-called experts. She excoriated the line that the events of that day were the result of the unleashing of a "fascist mob" by Trump, saying instead it was a "Reichstag Fire", a pretext for a fascist coup to impose the "Great Reset."

With an effort underway in the U.S. House to vote to impeach President Trump for the second time -- an impeachment with virtually no chance to pass the Senate — the imperial oligarchy represented by Pelosi and Schumer is moving to expand the powers of both private companies and government to suppress freedom of speech and assembly.

Excerpt from a presentation by Harley Schlanger from a LaRouche Organization meeting on January 9, 2021. "One of the first things I learned from Lyndon LaRouche was a concept that he called the conjunctural perspective, as the basis for his forecasting. That is, how to evaluate a crisis, to act effectively to solve it, but incorporating history, science, economics, politics, social policy. And especially in a period of breakdown, you have to take into consideration all of these facets."

Immediately led on Jan. 7-8 by Edward Snowden, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Michael Gorbachev, more leading figures in political life and journalism have attacked the attempt at total censorship of President Donald Trump by the IT billionaires of Silicon Valley, who are trying to impose total control over political speech in the United States—to start.Today German Chancellor Angela Merkel “blasted” (in Reuters description) Facebook and Twitter censorship of Trump. “The right to freedom of opinion is of fundamental importance,” Steffen Seibert, Merkel’s chief spokesman, told reporters in Berlin on Monday, according to Reuters. “Given that, the Chancellor considers it problematic that the President’s accounts have been permanently suspended.” The First Amendment “can be interfered with,” Merkel’s spokesman said, “but by law and within the framework defined by the legislature—not according to a corporate decision.” Bruno Le Maire, the French Economy Minister, called “the digital oligarchy” the threat to democracy; French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clément Beaune expressed “shock” at the Facebook and Twitter power grab and said, “This should be decided by citizens, not by a CEO,” The British liberal Guardian showed considerable disdain in reporting Australian Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack’s statement denouncing the censorship of Trump—but that was Snowden’s warning: Those who think they like to see Trump silenced, will learn that this is a “turning point” and that if the IT giants can silence a U.S. President, they will try to use that power to silence anyone. Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook pointed in that direction today in a statement implying no further discussion of the Nov. 3 election allowed by anyone—not just by Donald Trump. “We are now removing content containing the phrase ‘stop the steal’ under our Coordinating Harm policy from Facebook and Instagram. We removed the original Stop the Steal group in November and have continued to remove Pages, groups and events that violate any of our policies.” Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, who helped Snowden blow the whistle on the surveillance state, made the same point in a series of tweets today: “Tech monopolies—FB, Google, Apple, Amazon—have more concentrated wealth & power than any in history. They have used brute force 3 times in 3 months to manipulate US politics: censoring NY Post, banning Trump, destroying Parler. And liberals are overwhelmingly supportive.” Most recently, he declared: “these Silicon Valley monopolies are grave menaces to political freedom & economic well-being.” And prefaced the series: “Authoritarians never believe they’re authoritarians, no matter how much censorship, surveillance, jingoism, & imprisonment they demand. They tell themselves their enemies are so uniquely evil and dangerous—terrorists—that anything done in the name of fighting them is noble.” This stripping of free speech is now targeting Trump and his most vocal and active supporters. As Ed Snowden observed—echoing Martin Niemöller about the Nazis—you may say, “I’m no active Trump supporter, this is OK with me.” Is this for Biden? It was Joe Biden who, by his own boasting, wrote the Patriot Act in 1994—the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It wasn’t passed, but in 2002 when Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote the Patriot Act itself, he called Biden, recounts Caitlin Johnstone, and said “I’m introducing your bill from 1994.” Thus if the surveillance state has become the unconstitutional reality of life since 9/11—including making an unholy partnership between the military-intelligence complex and the IT billionaires of Silicon Valley—Joe Biden had already planned that future for America after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. And Biden opposes any tampering now with Section 230 of the Federal Communications Act which allows these tech giants to masquerade as “neutral platforms” while giving them unprecedented censorship power. Experts are suddenly seeing what Trump meant about Section 230. The dean of Tufts University’s Fletcher School, for example, Bhaskar Chakravorti, on Jan. 10: “Jan. 6 ought to shape the future of tech as we know it. The only way in which social media doesn’t continue to be weaponized to undermine democracy, is by rethinking this critical piece [Section 230] that gave rise to the web as it is today and is the root of many of its evils.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren has appeared to forget that during the Presidential campaign she promised an anti-trust law to break the digital oligarchs’ companies up—“Glass-Steagall for tech.” They must be broken up. The President must not be silenced. At stake is American constitutional self-government.

The media narrative on January 6 is a classic example of a "fallacy of composition." The truth is that the events of that day provided the latest pretext for the Russiagate coup plotters to remove the President of the U.S., while continuing their post-9/11 attack on the U.S. Constitution.

Richard A. Black, the Schiller Institute representative at the UN in New York, recently published an article in Executive Intelligence Review, titled, "Science Driver and Culture — Not Money — Ignite Progress," describing the thrust of China's newly announced Five Year Plan. Chinese government officials described their choice to make innovations in many fields of hard science into the engine for all economic growth, and simultaneously, to move towards devoting "10% of GDP" on upgrading the culture of their population of 1.4 billion.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche on Saturday, January 9, speaking on The LaRouche Organization webcast, described how the orchestrated assault on the Capitol Building in Washington Wednesday, Jan. 6, was another 9/11, intended to justify fascist dictatorship in the United States by the incoming Biden Administration, turning power over to the Central Bankers’ Green Finance destruction of industry and agriculture.

Stop watching YouTube videos about what supposedly really happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6! To understand and successfully respond to the events of the last week, start with the big picture. The entire trans-Atlantic financial system is in a breakdown crisis, and the only way that London-led empire can survive is by pulling off what they euphemistically refer to as their “Great Reset,” which really means a fascist reorganization of their utterly bankrupt financial system into a supranational “digital currency” scam, and drastic deindustrialization and depopulation of the nations of the planet. The storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was designed to usher in such a coup in the United States, and to lock it in place with Jacobin-style censorship of any and all opposition voices. This is not the first time that something like this has happened. In 1933, there was the Reichstag Fire: agents provocateurs created the incident; security-stripping facilitated it; and the intended effect occurred: Hitler’s putsch was consolidated. Similarly on September 11, 2001: London-run Saudi terrorists were deployed; security was strangely lacking; and the intended effect was put in place: the Patriot Act with two-decades of foreign wars and an implacable “surveillance state.” And now the Capitol, on Jan. 6, 2021: provocateurs led the charge; no security of any significance was on hand; and the intended effect has been set in motion: the Great Reset, with a pliable Joe Biden in the White House and all opposition in the process of being muzzled by the social media. With that in mind, there are three broad points to be emphasized to properly measure the current strategic battlefield and correlation of forces, and the needed course of action: What transpired on Jan. 6 was a classic “gang-countergang” operation, straight out of the handbook of Britain’s Tavistock Institute and Brig. Gen. Frank Kitson’s counter-insurgency manual. The debate over whether the professional provocateurs who led the assault on the Capitol were “Proud Boys,” “Antifa,” or one or both dressed up as the other, entirely misses the point. This was a classic “third force” operation, as Helga Zepp-LaRouche emphasized in her Jan. 9 Manhattan Project webcast, where the intelligence services deploy to deliberately trigger violence to achieve their intended shock effect. The rest are dupes, well-meaning or otherwise. Sane forces in the U.S. have powerful potential allies internationally to defeat this operation. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a strong and growing alternative to the Great Reset, and its dynamic has already swept up the majority of the world’s population. Mark Zuckerberg may control Facebook. But China is building railroads and dams in Africa. Peru, which has one of the highest per-capita death rates from COVID-19 on the planet, had been told that it would only get a few vaccines from the WHO at the end of 2021, and not be able to purchase significant numbers of vaccines on the world market until 2022 or 2023. But last week China informed Peru that they would provide the country with 38 million vaccines, with the first million arriving this month. That will cover nearly 20 million of Peru’s 33 million people. Do you really think the nation of Peru is going to care more about Zuckerberg’s Facebook rules and Pompeo’s anti-Chinese rants, than vaccinating its population? There is a reality principle at work here, of the physical economy and the laws of the physical universe, that the British cannot evade. Furthermore, significant forces in other countries are aware of how the Capitol assault “narrative” is working, and the meaning of the brazen censorship being imposed by the Wall Street-run social media against all opposition. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador described what Facebook is doing to President Donald Trump and others as “a new Holy Inquisition” designed “to create a world government.” Russian senior analyst Fyodor Lukyanov, the chairman of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, wrote that “Target number one is Trump himself. They want to make an example out of him, so that others wouldn’t dare challenge the sanctity of the political establishment…. And the Capitol building debacle during the last days of his Presidency has created a perfect pretext for cleaning house.” 3. The British gameplan has an even more fundamental weakness and vulnerability. Their plan is that you will not say, nor be allowed to hear, anything other than the vetted material available on social media. You will receive no information, no entertainment, that is not of that approved character. You will be told, as Bertrand Russell famously put it, that snow is black. But there’s one thing that Russell and the British have overlooked. The effectiveness of this strategy depends on the nature of man being what they claim it is. Their informational dictatorship only works if knowledge is indeed premised on sense perception, if identity is defined by Bentham’s felicific calculus, by hedonism. But ask yourself: How would Helen Keller have responded to control of the social media? Would that have affected her conceptual powers, or her ability to understand how the world works? Would it have interfered with her capacity to “hear” and understand a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth? In the final analysis, it is this nature of man, and the implicit powers of man’s mind to discover universal physical principles and shape the world in his image, as the Creator shapes us in His—a power for the Good which Lyndon LaRouche spent a lifetime discovering, conveying and augmenting—that is our greatest weapon in times such as these. That is why 2021 is, again, the year of Beethoven.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador used his daily morning press briefing on Jan. 8 to warn the world that the censorship taking place in the U.S. is a danger for the world, a new “Holy Inquisition” designed to “create a world government with the power to control social networks, a world media power.” The exchange occurred in response to a question from respected journalist Daniel Marmolejo. A three-minute video excerpt of the exchange, subtitled in English, was played on today’s LaRouche Manhattan Project Meeting, hosted by The LaRouche Organization (TLO). That video can be found on the TLO YouTube channel and is transcribed below.

This morning President Donald Trump made two announcements on his briefly restored Twitter service. He will not attend the Jan. 20 Biden inauguration. And he will serve as the “GIANT VOICE” for the interests of the American people “long into the future.” This is exactly the prospect that, even before 2016, made Trump a target for side-lining by the London/Wall Street networks, whose political wing perpetrated one dirty operation after another against the U.S. to get Trump out—Russiagate, impeachment, racism, then election subversion. Now, they are saying he is nuts. The Economist, the voice of the City of London, is chewing its nails over how to get him out fast. They have sent multiple e-mails on this since Jan. 6, and their Jan. 9 feature article has a fretful headline, “After the Insurrection: The Terrible Scenes on Capitol Hill Illustrate How Donald Trump Has Changed His Party. And How Hard It Will Be To Rid It of Him.”Trump stood firmly against the Paris Accord green dictates, and initially and strongly, for friendship diplomacy with Russia, China, and India (although he capitulated to Pompeo’s McCarthyite madness over the past year). Trump also backed agro-industrial and space activity, crash biomedical work, and pulling back U.S. troops from the “endless wars.” These are anathema to the monetarists and their system, whose leading mega-financial entities are now in a zombie state of being dead-but-not-buried, propped up by trillions of dollars of bail-outs and chicanery. To these interests, the Great Reset is their solution, since it involves dictatorial “governance” and banking practices of any kind, including causing sickness, famine and death—because they say, it will save the planet from CO₂. From Jan. 25-29, a five-day, 25 million-viewership media jamboree is in the works by the World Economic Forum, called “The Davos Agenda,” at which the Great Reset will be officially rolled out. This is the context in which to understand the meaning of the events of the hour. The Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol involved a glaring lack of routine safety preparedness, for a known possible threat element to be deployed, or take shape. Now the event is being used as the excuse for demanding Trump leave office in the next 13 days, and as an excuse for Big Tech to exert total rights of surveillance and censorship. This is the same way that after the Sept. 11, 2011 attack, similar “governance” measures were enforced, in the false name of public defense. There are three lines of action demanded against Trump as of now—activation of the 25th Amendment to put him out, impeachment, or his “voluntary” resignation. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has written to Vice President Pence demanding he activate the 25th Amendment protocol to remove Trump because he is “unhinged.” Today Pelosi talked with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley to take measures to isolate Trump from the nuclear weapons codes. She wrote today to Democrats to line them up in readiness for an impeachment vote. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has entered a bill of articles of impeachment, the first three of which charge Trump with not “acknowledging” how Russia has been subverting the U.S. in different ways. The impeachment includes a clause barring Trump from any future public office of any kind, anywhere. Two other impeachment bills are being prepared. Meantime, former Secretary of State Colin Powell is saying, Trump should just “walk away” from office right now, like President Nixon did. Last night, Mark Zuckerberg, now infamous for pouring over $300 million to local election precincts—private money for public elections—informed President Trump that he can no longer use Facebook “indefinitely.” Why? Because, “We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.” Of course, those political leaders who cheered on the mass riots, looting, arson and attacks on police all summer were never removed from social media—quite the opposite. This frenzied over-kill, however, by no means signifies strength. It is hysteria, and can be defeated. Multi-millions of people are not prepared to accept the new Great Reset, any more than in 2016 they would vote for London’s Hillary Clinton. It is self-evident to anyone thinking about it, that we have a big job today to roll back the pandemic, famine and economic decay caused by decades of neo-liberal, neo-conservative economics, which must be stopped. President Trump, with a phone call, can initiate the collaboration process with Russia, China and others at any time. To hell with the unhinged Schumer, Pelosi/London crowd. Lyndon LaRouche has shown the way for both policies and courage. A Trump exoneration of LaRouche, and pardon for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden is the best weapon right now. Understanding and acting on this Big Picture, is an essential part of the “truth in elections” campaign we are waging.

The LaRouche Organization (TLO) ran the following half-page advertisement on page A3 of the Jan. 6 issue of the Washington Times, the very day that violent provocateurs breached the Capitol as part of the coup operation being run against President Trump. The ad, which was also distributed as a leaflet by TLO organizers in Washington, D.C. and in a number of state capitals around the country, provided the needed policy leadership to address the profound crisis battering the nation and the world. Read the statement here...

What really happened on January 6-7? What should be done now? How can we rebuild optimism for those who have succumbed to the belief that the U.S. is broken beyond repair?

President Donald Trump won the presidency as the Republican candidate in 2016, not because he represented that party, but because he broke with many of its precepts. He vowed to drain the swamp, to take on the intelligence agencies, to foster good relations with Russia and China, to rebuild industry, and to uncompromisingly oppose Green policies. The movement that he built reached something special in the American psyche, and addressed itself to questions that the establishment Beltway politicians ignored: the well-being of the forgotten men and women, people derided as “deplorables” by Hillary Clinton. He mobilized enormous numbers of voters in 2020, and stood to be a significant force in reshaping the Republican Party. How do the events of Wednesday fit in? Just as the House and Senate were debating the objections raised to the Arizona electoral votes, a violent mob—small compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who turned out to support Trump that day—that broke through the security perimeter at the U.S. Capitol.Photos of a shirtless barbarian occupying the presiding officer’s chair in the Senate, of a man with a Trump hat walking off with the Speaker’s lectern, and of crowds of people smashing windows and breaking through doors to the Capitol have been used as ammunition to denounce Trump as a thug. He has been blamed as the instigator of the mob, as an inciter to violence. He has been accused of running a coup, and judged guilty of committing an “unprecedented assault” against democracy. Impeachment is proposed, and there is talk of using the provisions of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. Meanwhile, he has been locked out of both Twitter and Facebook, in part because he posted a one-minute video urging people to peacefully leave the Capitol! Cui bono? Who benefits from this situation? Who deployed the provocateurs? Who is responsible for the totally inadequate security on hand? These are all questions to be investigated and exposed. What is already clear is that the breaching of the Capitol derailed much of the force of the debate about the 2020 election, by shutting down the congressional session and making the mob itself the subject of discussion. Today’s events are already being used to kick off a new round of attacks against Trump between now and Jan. 20, and to criminalize protest and limit free speech rights. Already Wednesday afternoon, the New York Times ran an article entitled, “The Storming of Capitol Hill Was Organized on Social Media,” which is only a small taste of the torrent of calls for censorship to come. Where will this leave the Republican Party? Will it become again the party of the Bushes? Trump will not be America’s next President, but he is America’s current President. What will he do in his remaining two weeks in office to overthrow the chessboard and deal a strategic blow to the British Empire and their American allies? Will he break from the anti-China lies being peddled by those posing as his friends? Will he take on the British Empire’s efforts to prevent cooperation among the world’s major powers to replace geopolitics with a new paradigm of international relations? Will he use his power to exonerate Lyndon LaRouche and pardon Snowden and Assange? This would dramatically improve the strategic situation, and be a profound blow to his enemies. The LaRouche Organization was providing the needed leadership in this crisis even as today’s events unfolded in Washington. The Jan. 6 edition of the Washington Times prominently featured a half-page ad on p. A3 of their print edition, with the headline: “Stop the Fraud: Exonerate LaRouche!”

Was the mini-riot on the Capitol grounds yesterday orchestrated, to disrupt the Constitutionally mandated hearings going on in the Congress? Where were the security forces, the police, and the National Guard? Why was President Trump's Twitter account silenced, when he called for demonstrators to disperse peacefully?

Tonight’s Fireside chat will feature a discussion by Gerry Rose about Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the 80th anniversary of his Four Freedoms Speech (January 6,1941), and his leadership of the Presidency in a time of severe national crisis. Yesterday’s violent manipulation of the process of ratification of the Presidency was done in order to suppress the orderly hearing of evidence, prior to the acceptance of Presidential electors, of the massive vote fraud that has been alleged by citizens, state and federal elected officials, and US attorneys general. In light of that, it is incumbent upon all who value this nation to join our discussion this evening. There will be an update on breaking events, as well as reports from LaRouche Organization members who were present in Washington, DC yesterday.

How can President Trump flip over the chessboard at this late hour and outflank those who are pushing for global war? An announcement that he is freeing Assange, pardoning Snowden, and exonerating the late Lyndon LaRouche would send shockwaves around the world.

By Jason Ross Around 4:30 p.m., Trump tweeted a one-minute video, urging his supporters to go home. Standing in front of the White House, he said: “I know your pain; I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There has never been a time like this, where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You are very special. You’ve seen what happens; you see the way others are treated, that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.”At first Twitter limited the distribution of the video (no likes, comments, or direct retweets), and then actually removed it, as did Facebook, which reported that it took the action on the astonishing basis that Trump’s call for leaving the Capitol peacefully “contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence”! Facebook has locked Trump out of the platform for 24 hours. The same censorious fate befell Trump’s now-removed 6:01 p.m. tweet, which read: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” At 7:02 p.m., Twitter safety reported that Twitter had removed three of Donald Trump’s tweets and locked his account: “This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.” This means that even though Twitter has removed the Tweets, Trump must also delete them himself before they will allow him to use the platform. Twitter Safety warned President Trump that they were prepared to lock him out of Twitter entirely: “Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.” This means that during a state of emergency in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, after a historical intrusion into the Capitol, when people are demanding the impeachment or 25th Amendment removal of the President of the United States, he is unable to communicate directly with the people using the two most popular social media platforms.

As the Congress convenes on January 6, to determine the outcome of the fight against the theft of the 2020 election, there are still powerful options which President Trump has, to break out of the game which has been rigged against him.

The effort by supporters of President Trump to decertify slates of electors for Joe Biden in a number of battleground states will take place in both the House and Senate today, as large crowds of Trump supporters are mobilizing outside.
