Truth! In U.S. National Security Policy:
A Boldly Modest U.S. Global Mission

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. replies to President George W. Bush's The National Security Strategy of the United States. "The time has come," LaRouche writes, "when the possibility of the survival of our republic depends on the willingness of a majority among our people to abandon their habitual mind-slavery to so-called popular opinion. If our republic is to outlive the present crisis, we must not only abandon the war policies of Vice-President Cheney and his Chicken-hawks. Despite the monstrous mental decay in our schools, universities, and financier-controlled mass media, our survival as a nation now requires a majority among us to turn to actually thinking. . . ."

LaRouche Called It:
`Hellish' September for Global Economy

Lyndon LaRouche warned on Aug. 24: "September is going to be a horror-show, on the international financial markets. It's going to be a horror-show for bankruptcies throughout the United States. We're looking at mass layoffs, with no return from them in sight, no recovery in sight." It happened, on schedule.

A Decision To Stop War
From Which LaRouche Did Not Shrink

The Bush Administration's draft resolutions before Congress and the UN Security Council are clinically insane. LaRouche calls on the United Nations to suspend its current debate on the formulations submitted to it, on the grounds that the President and Vice President of the United States are—hopefully temporarily—mad.
