A LaRouche Idea Whose Time Has Come
On Wednesday, July 3, Lyndon LaRouche addressed a gathering of over 100 prominent elected officials, economists, Vatican representatives and civic leaders at the Sala Auditorium of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Agneli, in Rome, Italy, on the subject of his longstanding proposal for the convening of a New Bretton Woods Conference, to put the present bankrupt world monetary and financial system through an orderly bankruptcy reorganization. The goal of such an effort by sovereign governments would be to create the preconditions for the launching of a global economic recovery, through the issuance of long-term, low-interest credits, earmarked for large-scale high-technology development projects, centered around LaRouche's proposal for the Eurasian Land-Bridge.
Among the leading Italian political figures who joined LaRouche were Dr. Nino Galloni, the director general of the Italian Labor Ministry; and Senator Oskar Peterlini, the author of an Italian Senate and Chamber of Deputies resolution, calling upon the Italian government to take the lead in convoking a conference of nation-states to establish a new global monetary system.

The major audience for the Declaration of Independence was not domestic, but those nations from which the American colonies were seeking recognition, commerce, and alliances in the war against the British Monarchy. Would they treat with the newly declared independent nation, despite the virulent opposition of the British?
Indeed, the Declaration was explicit in terms of its international focus. First, from the first paragraph, it couched its argument in relation to the "opinions of mankind" as a whole, not simply to citizens of the colonies. Second, the final substantive sentence laid out what the emerging United States wished to exercise: "full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do."
There was no question but that the British would do everything possible to prevent recognition. Already, by July 13, Ambrose Serle, the secretary to Britain's chief General, Lord Howe, had written in his diary that "a more impudent, false and atrocious Proclamation was never fabricated by the Hands of Men." Four copies made their way to London, and by mid-August, it began to be published in the London press, followed by Edinburgh, Dublin, and Leiden (Holland).
In September the Declaration was published in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Florence, Italy. A German translation appeared in Basel, Switzerland in October.

Stop the 'New Violence,' Create a New Renaissance
"...It is a great honor for me to be able to speak to you on the subject of the New Violence today. Actually, this is a phenomenon which threatens human civilization in the same way as a new global epidemic, and I have launched an interna-tional campaign for the banning and outlawing of this media violence and of media products which glorify violence...."

Bush and New Sharon War Drive
