We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“The crisis of the European system, which, nominally, erupted around the current Greek debt situation, was never a Greek crisis as such; it was, rather, a crisis of the entire current European system since the time of Socrates and Plato, a modern crisis whose expression is currently centered, at this present moment, on the Iberian peninsula, not Greece, and a crisis of the international operations of the only nominally Spanish, actually British bank of Santander. As long as the current European system and U.S. Obama Administration policies persist, the fuse of a global breakdown-crisis must be considered as lit for the immediate period ahead.”

The Story from London: Tony’s Britches Falling Down  

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Is Washington Handing Afghan Policy to London and Riyadh?

by Ramtanu Maitra

The United States is ready to toe the British-Saudi line: to bring back in the “good” Taliban—inexplicably distinguished from the “bad” Taliban—to “share” power with the government of President Hamid Karzai.

Why President Obama Must Be Impeached  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. and Nancy Spannaus

President Obama’s stated intention, to shut down the NASA program at its root, when added to his Hitler-like health-care policy, and the destructive features of all other leading Obama policies, is one step too far to bear.
