The Weird Religions of Cheney's Empire:
The Pantheo-cons

By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. The forces committed to reversing the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia, which rescued Europe from a 1511-1648 period of religious wars, are relying largely upon developing and deploying a U.S.A.-based pantheistic religious-political movement, in fact a fascist movement, already comparable to, and, potentially, a worse, nuclear menace for humanity as a whole, than the Nazi regime.

Gingrich at AEI:
The Return of the Undead

The former Speaker of the House's diatribe against Secretary of State Colin Powell was a carefully calculated move on the part of the neo-conservative cabal within the Bush Administration, including Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. But their plan to replace Powell with Gingrich is already backfiring, as President Bush reportedly viewed the Gingrich speech as an attack on himself. "This is the most stupid, but understandable mistake that the friends of Newt Gingrich ever made," commented Lyndon LaRouche.

Why the `Surprising' Rise of
Shi'ite Power in Iraq?

Contrary to the views of some Western analysts, the Shi'ite emergence as a political force is not a harbinger of sectarian strife, which has been unknown in Iraq's modern history. But if the United States and Britain puruse policies that foster the continued deterioration of the Iraqi people's living standards, and political instability in the country, a disastrous plunge into sectarian warfare could occur in the short term.

Presidential Candidate LaRouche
Has Broadest Support

The April 15 filings of the Democratic Presidential candidates with the Federal Election Commission, show that the exclusion of Lyndon LaRouche from candidate forums and debates is a blatant political fix, which ignores the most objective criteria of candidate support available—the amount of money raised, and the base of contributors.
