The Great Leesburg Bust of 2006:
Bankers Association Warns of Bust (PDF)
By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. "The world is now threatened, during the immediate months ahead, with the most severe breakdown in the global economy since the so-called `New Dark Age' crisis set off by the mid-Fourteenth-Century crash of the ultramontane Venice's tool, the Lombard banking system. What is rumbling now from under the burgeoning, saturated drain-fields of Loudoun County, Virginia, is a twitch. Week by week, there is, an accelerating rate of a margin of unsold, empty houses, an ironical warning of a great crash of Alan Greenspan-created mortgage-based-securities bubble: a crash about to hit with panic force."

Retool Auto To Save U.S. Industrial Heartland (PDF)
In December 2005, LaRouche commissioned EIR and the LaRouche Youth Movement to produce a series of economic animations on the Upper Midwest. These have been incorporated into a DVD to be released soon by the LaRouche PAC, in a documentary on retooling the auto sector for national recovery, how it's been done before, and how it can be done today. We present here some "still shots" based on these animations.

Like Weimar Germany in 1923, the current world economy is poised for hyperbolic growth in inflation.

Behind the Generals' Revolt
While the criticisms of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld by ex-officers ostensibly focus on Iraq, sources close to the Pentagon have confirmed that the outpouring of calls for Rumsfeld's immediate ouster have more to do with Bush Administration plans for a preemptive military strike against Iran. And everyone knows that the true architect of the policy is not Rumsfeld, but Dick Cheney.

Despite the spectacular turnouts, there is no guarantee that the fight for immigrant rights, and better-paying jobs, will feed into a broader, more permanent political movement. That's where the real issue of leadership is posed.
