After the Collapse of Enron:
Next Comes the Cluster-Bust!
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.'s keynote speech to the Presidents' Day weekend conference of the Schiller Institute and International Caucus of Labor Committees, in Reston, Virginia. "We've come to a momentous weekend, as I promised you, when I issued the title for today's remarks: The Enron crisis would be `Cluster's Last Stand.' That we are now on the weekend of the Great Cluster-Buster; the day that the walls fall down. Not that the falling is completed today, but, to many people around the world who are paying attention, it's obvious that this financial system, as a whole, is in the process of disintegrating." The solutions—the Eurasian Land-Bridge, the New Bretton Woods—are on the table. "All it requires, at this point, is . . . a leader of vision and understanding, who's willing to break glass, the glass imprisonment of popular opinion, and say: `We are going to Hell. Would you like to survive? Will you join me in surviving?' And, what I need from you, and from many other people, is a simple, `Yes. We want to do it.' "
