We Are Now at a Turning-Point in History  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

The webcast speech by Lyndon LaRouche, delivered in Washington on July 2, and a selection from the questions and answers. As with the crisis faced by the United States under Franklin Roosevelt’s Presidency, LaRouche said, we now have a monetary system which is disintegrating. This “has inspired some people—like the fascists, the Synarchists of the late 1920s and 1930s, who launched the Hitler effort—to launch a similar effort inside the United States. The effort is centered on those we call the ‘neo-conservatives.’ Not only the neo-conservatives inside the Republican Party, gathered around Dick Cheney, the Vice President; but the neo-conservatives, also, who are their buddies, inside the Democratic Leadership Council, and those corresponding sections of the Democratic National Committee.”
