Bloomberg Fools Them Again: The Flirt

By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. At this point, the flirtatious New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appears to be the leading candidate for becoming London's "corporativist" dictator of the United States. With John McCain's health a question mark, Barack Obama's candidacy is being maintained, only temporarily, solely to use him in a continuing effort to eliminate Hillary Clinton's candidacy, so that the fascist option of a Bloomberg Presidency could be brought into play.

Mitt Romney Walks Out

Where does Bloomberg, a follower of the corporativist economic and social "infrastructure" policies of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler's Hjalmar Schacht, fit into the mainstream Presidential primary campaigns? Lyndon LaRouche says that if both Obama and Clinton were eliminated, and replaced by a Bloomberg or McCain-Bloomberg ticket, the likely result would be immediate adoption of the specific fascist economic and social programs being pushed by fascist Felix Rohatyn today.

Kanjorski Caves In

Rep. Paul Kanjorski, like many others who have endorsed, or were considering endorsing LaRouche's Homeowners and Bank Protection Act, has come under heavy pressure to lie about the measure, from those associated with the Presidential campaign of New York Mayor Bloomberg's organization, on behalf of an explicitly fascist program on "infrastructure" policy, as was recently announced in Los Angeles by Bloomberg, and Governors Schwarzenegger and Rendell.

The British Empire's Suicide Club:
The Noun Generation

Today's youth, living as miserable subjects in post-industrialized societies, are finding their purpose in life in hedonistic pleasures in clubs on today's Internet "social networking" sites. This form of "thrill-seeking" involves suicide clubs, which have led to young friends committing suicide.

Economics

Bailouts and Corporativism,
or Franklin D. Roosevelt

The intention of the financial oligarchy has always been, that when financial trouble comes, as is now happening, to shift their losses to the population, while allowing corporativist privatization of public services, instead of taking the FDR approach of defending the general welfare.

Lincoln's American System vs.
British- Backed Slavery (PDF)

Lincoln knew that he had to overcome, not a section of his own country, but an imperial enemy, which included the Slave South as an integral part of its global system. He knew he had to have the power of the Union, to take on that global system, in order to end slavery.
