For Citizens Who Enjoy Thinking:
Why My Candidacy Is Unique

A statement by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., issued by his Presidential campaign committee. "More and more people, both ordinary citizens and institutional figures, from around the world, are now looking to me for guidance on dealing with problems for which they can offer no clear solution. Fortunately, I know enough of the answer to such questions, to show how we can survive the present monetary-financial collapse. I do not have complete answers, but enough to get us through the emergency, and give us time and freedom to attack the remainder of the immediate issues."

Perle War Party Reeling
From Murawiec Exposé

The diatribe against Saudi Arabia delivered at the Defense Policy Board meeting on July 10, by Rand Corp. lunatic Laurent Murawiec, has set off an international uproar.
