Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), coming out of a closed-door Congressional screening of the Iraq torture photographs from Abu Ghraib prison, on May 12, summed up the reactions of a majority of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle: "It felt like you were descending into one of the rings of hell; and sadly, it was our own creation."

Sen. Durbin's words echoed the LaRouche in 2004 mass-circulation campaign pamphlet, "Children of Satan I and II," which exposed the outright fascist, and willfully bestial ideology and policies of Vice President Dick Cheney, and his fellow Straussian neo-conservatives in the Department of Defense civilian bureaucracy and other power centers in Washington. It is Cheney's neo-con apparatus that bears top-down responsibility for the inhuman torture that took place at Abu Ghraib.
In a May 10 campaign statement, "The Mark of the Beast" (see Latest from LaRouche, this week), Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche emphasized that the actions by the accused prison guards and interrogators in Baghdad were not simply of their own doing, but were the consequence of a geometry of policy that permeated, top-down, every major action by the Bush-Cheney administration, particularly the entirety of the Iraq war policy.
The pamphlet "Children of Satan IIThe Beast-Men," warned readers about the murderous character of Cheney, in particular: "Dick Cheney is not a copy of Adolf Hitler, but he comes directly out of the same background as Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, and their like, from the 1922-45 pages of modern history.

'The Mark Of The Beast'
Tell those lunatics who have been praying for the Battle of Armageddon (in the hope that they will be rewarded by a removal of their obligation to pay next month's rent), that the Bush Administration's behavior in the Iraq prisoner scandal proffers any competent intelligence officer clear evidentiary proof, that these pictures are clues pointing to a crime committed by those who, like the notorious Grand Inquisitor Tomás Torquemada, bear "The Mark of the Beast."

Book Review:
The Right Man, in the Right Fight
by Lawrence K. Freeman
The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity
by Joseph Wilson
New York: Carroll & Graf Publishers, 2004
544 pages, hardcover, $27.50
Ambassador Wilson's memoir is an interesting, and at times a witty story. Essentially, the first portion of the book tells of his life in the Foreign Service, which takes him from the deserts and poverty of Sub-Saharan Africa to the hotbed of Iraq, to the European Central Command of U.S. Armed Forces, to the National Security Council, before he retired from government service. But the second part depicts how he was brought directly into the fight against the 'Beast-Man,' Vice President Dick Cheney, and Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, along with the whole Straussian neocon cabal in the Pentagon.

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Watering Central Asia
by Mary Burdman
...[T]he idea of taking water from the great, north-flowing rivers of Siberia, south and west, to water the steppes and deserts of Central Asia, is at least 100 years old...
Desalination's Huge Potential
The greatest potential for solving the whole world's water problems, is through creation of much more fresh water by desalinating seawater. The failure of Soviet water management in Central Asia, was not so much due to its grand scale, but rather to the failure to bring sufficient water into the most arid region on Earth, both to save the Aral Sea and to turn the steppes and deserts green.
What Transforms The Biosphere?
"...And you look, as Vernadsky did, at the planet. And the planet is a Biosphere. What does that mean? That life is more powerful than abiotic principles. That life penetrates, and acts upon the domain of abiotic principles. Life does not come from inorganic processes. Life is a principle in the universe..."

Central Bankers Preparing For Bank Failures
by John Hoefle
With banks and other financial institutions dominating the lists of the world's largest corporations, any talk of bank failures is bound to make people nervous. Great efforts are made to keep the public in the dark about the volatile nature of modern finance, and the frequency with which banks and banking systems blow up. Thus when both the Federal Reserve and the Bank for International Settlements begin speaking publicly on the subject, one had better pay close attention.
No Recovery For Mexico But 'Argentinization'
by Ronald Moncayo
The enforcement of Schachtian monetary and fiscal policies over the past 20 years in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, has set those nations on the path of their own dissolution, with the result that they are turning into satraps of a new world financial empire.
'Troublemaker' Kirchner
Defies the Vultures
by Cynthia R. Rush
Argentine President Néstor Kirchner appears to have taken to heart Democratic Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche's advice, that 'making trouble' for synarchist bankers is a healthy and enjoyable thing to do. As Kirchner told a Buenos Aires audience on May 12, he has no intention of 'behaving' or 'being nice' as some people would wish him to do. 'I will not be an employee of foreign interests, as others have done...'

U.S. Troops Enter Pakistani Territory
by Ramtanu Maitra
U.S.-Pakistani relations may take a sharp downturn in the near future, as Washington is mobilizing its resources to enter Pakistan to capture and eliminate foreign members of al-Qaeda. The first such move was made by the U.S. troops in the evening of May 2, when they 'strayed into Pakistani territory' while hunting al-Qaeda and Taliban suspects in southeastern Afghanistan and were turned back by Pakistani troops, Pakistan's Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told the Pakistani media.

China-India: Trade To Boom Via Tibet, Sikkim
by Ramtanu Maitra
Early this month, the Indian External Affairs Ministry told reporters that the just-published World Affairs Yearbook for 2003-2004, for the first time showed Sikkim as part of India instead of China...
