The Folly of Chronic Wars  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

The repeated folly of the U.S.A., and other nations, in being drawn into “long wars,” such as the “long war” in Indo-China, or the folly of the present long war in Afghanistan, bears directly on the quality of mental state of the Administration of President Barack Obama. The combination of several factors, including General McChrystal’s remarks to Rolling Stone, including the news that former President Bill Clinton soars above President Obama in popularity, and including the pressures on President Obama to resort to lying, with evident hysteria, on increasingly crucial matters, especially on diverse leading issues posed by a U.S. economy now plunging into a collapse-phase, have witnessed President Obama as driven into a manifest state of mind which must be compared to a besieged Adolf Hitler’s state of mind during Hitler’s last days within the Berlin bunker, or the last phase of an “Emperor Nero” syndrome.

by Cynthia R. Rush

On the six-month anniversary of Haiti’s earthquake, which killed an estimated 250,000 people and wounded 300,000 more, only a tiny fraction of the $5.3 billion pledged to aid in Haiti’s reconstruction has materialized: U.S. President Barack “Nerobama” has Haitian blood on his hands.

Use the Coming Shock To Prevent Catastrophe  

by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

At the moment, the crisis is raging more violently in Europe and America. If a global two-tier banking system is not implemented immediately—a global Glass-Steagall standard—then it is as sure as the “Amen” in the prayer that this crisis will very quickly extend to Asia, and then to the rest of the world.
