But, in fact, the conflict touches on many other areas of strategic policy, and the outcome may very well determine whether George W. Bush becomes a lame-duck President within the first 18 months of his first term in office, throwing the United States and the planet as a whole into an even graver state of crisis than already exists at this moment.

Lyndon LaRouche Interviewed on Al Jazeera, April 14

Arabic speakers around the world had a chance to see and hear Lyndon LaRouche live through the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite television channel on Sunday, April 14. The news-documentary program, "Issues of the Hour," had "American Democratic Presidential Candidate and political-economist Lyndon LaRouche" as its featured guest in a live interview from Al-Jazeera's studio in Washington, to comment on the current U.S. policies in the Middle East and Colin Powell's meetings with Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon. Program host Malik Al-Teriki introduced the theme of Sunday's installment of his program on the U.S.-Israel alliance, stressing that "this week will be a decisive one for the Israeli-American relationship. It will determine who is steering this relationship."

(A full transcript of the interview with Mr. LaRouche will be made available by Electronic Intelligence Weekly.)

There are several contexts in which to see FDR's move, including the massive political pressure which was being applied to him by citizens and Congressmen who were unable to get credit, and the ongoing raid on the nation's gold supply which was being carried out by major European banks, especially in Amsterdam. But its primary significance is succinctly presented by author Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., in his The Coming of the New Deal. Schlesinger wrote this about the shift away from the gold standard:

"It meant that American monetary policy was no longer to be the quasi-automatic function of an international gold standard; that it was to become instead the instrument of conscious national purpose."
