The End of an Era Is Now! ‘Monday Demonstrations’ Show: Germans Demand Jobs, Recovery  

by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

The chairman of the Civil Rights Movement Solidarity party in Germany (Büso), issued this leaflet under the title “Get Rid of Hartz 4! Germany Needs 8 Million New Jobs.” The upsurge of demonstrations against the Social Democrat-led government’s austerity program, in a nation already convulsed by unemployment, shows that Germans are ready for the LaRouche program: physical economy and high-tech development, instead of radical ecologism and free-market misery.

A G.W. Bush Intelligence Czar Is Obviously an Oxymoron  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“The fact that there are some rather large loopholes in the present organization of the U.S.A.’s intelligence-security system, is no excuse for the current tendency to plunge, stupidly and recklessly, into rushed efforts to create an intelligence ‘czar.’”

The Leibniz Revolution in America, 1727-1752  

by Philip Valenti

The author shows why “the successful American revolution against the British Empire needs must have been preceded by the passionate rejection of Newtonianism by the intellectual leaders of the North American colonies, especially among the youth, as these leaders embraced the cause of the greatest political and philosophical adversary of British liberalism, the German universal genius Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.”

LaRouche Will Lead Dems to November Landslide Win  

by Jeffrey Steinberg and Michele Steinberg

The Democratic National Committee’s attempt to keep politics and LaRouche out of the Boston Convention was an utter failure. The DNC had “banned” mention of the crimes of Bush and Cheney in the Iraq War at the convention itself, but throughout the week, the LaRouche Youth Movement took the city by storm, and “dissident” Democratic leaders exposed the neo-conservatives’ criminal policies.
