LaRouche: The Urgency of
the American System Today
Lyndon LaRouche delivered this keynote speech to EIR's March 2 Berlin seminar. Addressing a primarily European audience, he described his task as, "first of all, to describe the general situation, and the relationship of what's happening in the United States, to what the fate of Europe and other parts of the world is going to be. And secondly, to indicate some of the problems, particularly on economic conceptions which stand in the way of competent thinking about economic policy, in the United States to some degree, but emphatically in Europe: that the failure to understand economics in the way that is needed now, is one of the biggest impediments in Europe. And I think I shall make clear to you, what these impediments are."

The system is doomed under any circumstances, and we know what must be done to create a new, stable financial system, based on the principles of Franklin Roosevelt's original Bretton Woods System."

Netanyahu Pushes Sharon's
`Jordan Is Palestine' War Plan
For two decades, "Jordan is Palestine" was at the center of Ariel Sharon's strategic thinking, in which a war launched against Jordan, or the collapse of the Jordanian monarchy, would provide the pretext to expel Palestinians from the West Bank. This is now on the agenda of Likud party candidate for the Prime Minister's office, Benjamin Netanyahu.
