This Week You Need to Know:

LaRouche's New Flanking Attack on George Shultz's Fascist Vulcans

The publication and initial widespread circulation of a book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How the U.S. Uses Globalization To Cheat Poor Countries Out of Trillions, (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., San Francisco, November 2004.), by John Perkins, has prompted Lyndon LaRouche to launch a major new international flanking attack against George Shultz's fascist Vulcan apparatus, an attack that is likely to catapult the Perkins book to the top of the international best-seller lists, and drive the would-be controllers of the Bush-Cheney regime into new fits of irrational rage.

From Nov. 17 to Nov. 22, Lyndon LaRouche, former candidate for the 2004 Democratic Party Presidential nomination, and the head of the newly formed LaRouche Political Action Committee, issued a

number of intelligence memoranda to the EIR staff on the subject of the revelations by author Perkins in his book.

(See this week's Latest From LaRouche, in which LaRouche's comments to a youth cadre school in Copenhagen, Denmark, are featured. LaRouche devoted most of his opening remarks to the Perkins revelations and his own assessments of the "economic hitmen.")

Under LaRouche's direction, an EIR intelligence team is now compiling for publication a series of case studies of how what LaRouche calls "the Venetian Complex"—the apparatus of the international financier oligarchy, run out of Europe—has deployed its "economic hitmen." The case studies—involving assassinations of heads of state like India's Indira Gandhi, and Panama's Omar Torrijos—directly intersect the economic development projects in which LaRouche was directly involved.

PERKINS' EXPOSE OF THE 'ECONOMIC HIT-MEN' RIPS THE MASK — FROM THE ANGLO-DUTCH LIBERAL 'FREE TRADE' ENSLAVEMENT

Here are Lyndon LaRouche's opening remarks to the Denmark LaRouche Youth Movement cadre school, meeting in Copenhagen on Nov. 20, 2004.

"Okay, good to be with you.

Now, many of you have probably seen the Morning Briefing for the past two days, which featured something which I've taken up, which was called to my attention, and I've analyzed it. We've gone through it, and we've have feedback from us, on this subject in the Briefing. I think most of you there, have probably either seen it, or noticed it, or wondered what it was....

IS FALLUJAH A NEW DIEN BIEN PHU?

November 14, 2004

At this moment of the most deadly turning-point in world history, most of the people who should be thinking as commanders-in-chief, are acting, instead, like a pack of whimpering job-applicants who just received news that they had, probably, lost the job. I see in them, men and women who prefer to whimper, like poorly trained actors who had just failed at try-outs for the part of Hamlet. We need better leadership, political leadership like that which Gen. Douglas MacArthur showed at Inchon, for example...

Coverup Exposed!

The Israeli Attack On the USS Liberty

``The Loss of Liberty,"
a video by filmmaker Tito Howard, proves beyond any doubt that the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack against the USS Liberty, in which 34 American servicemen were killed and 171 wounded, was deliberate. The video includes testimony from Liberty survivors, many Congressional Medal of Honor winners, and from such high-ranking Americans as:

  • Adm. Thomas H. Moorer,
  • Adm. Arleigh Burke
  • Gen. Ray Davis
  • Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

Plus — a new interview with James Bamford, author of ``Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency.''

On the Death of Arafat: A Turning-Point in History
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The death of Chairman Arafat defines a crucial turning-point in current world history. The world at large is challenged, at this ominous moment, to face the implications for the planet as a whole, of failing to take the occasion of his passing as the moment at which the world at large must act, even for the most selfish motives of many among nations, to set into motion, at last, a peace of the kind which would set the departed Chairman's soul at rest.

  • Dialogue With Maxim Ghilan
    Arafat's Legacy and The Quest for Peace
    Maxim Ghilan, a long-time fighter for peace, is the editor of the newsletter Israel & Palestine Strategic Update, as well as the founder of the International Jewish Peace Union, the first Jewish organization to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization as a partner in dialogue. He gave this briefing to EIR staff in Leesburg, Virginia, on Nov. 12, 2004.

LaRouche and Baker Call For Freeing Barghouti
by Dean Andromidas
After witnessing the deafening sounds of chanting, cheering, and gunfire on Nov. 12 as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians expressed an outpouring of emotion when the casket of Yasser Arafat was borne slowly through the surging sea of humanity to its temporary resting place on the West Bank, one must ask: Who can replace Arafat? Who can at once enjoy the popular support of the masses of Palestinians, while having the capability of leading his people to nationhood?

Sen. George McGovern:
'Arafat's Death Can Open the Way to Peace'
by Nina Ogden
In a discussion with EIR about the death of Yassir Arafat, former Senator George McGovern recommended that President George W. Bush should immediately appoint two former sitting Presidents, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, to convene new Camp David talks with Palestinian and Israeli leaders. 'A solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, at this time of Arafat's death, is the key to solving the problem of terrorism, and the immoral war against Iraq,' McGovern said.

The Promise of Oslo, and Today, Lies in Economic Development
by EIR Staff
From1976 forward, economist Lyndon LaRouche had argued that the only possible route to a lasting, or developing, peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis, would be through the adoption of an economic development plan that would demonstrate to both populations that the conditions of peace and cooperation were to the benefit of themselves and their posterity. Over time, LaRouche's proposal came to be known as the 'Oasis Plan,' especially because it revolved around the development of new water resources for the now water-starved region. This plan was the subject of intensive organizing activity with Israelis, Palestinians, and representatives of other nations as well.

Free Trade Spawns Masses Of Marauding 'Maras'
by Gretchen Small
In his historic 15-point anti-drug war-plan for the Western Hemisphere issued in March 1985,* U.S. statesman Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. warned: 'The greater political threat to democracy in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and other countries, is the use of the billions of revenues held by the drug traffickers to fund terrorist armies, and to bring corrupted military officers into right-wing coup plots directed by former officials of the Nazi regime of Germany.'

Slave-Labor Drive Behind Bush Immigration Policy Fight
by Paul Gallagher and Dennis Small
One of the first external policy fights of the dysfunctional second Bush Administration, as it is being purged within, will be for an 'immigration reform' which enables U.S. businesses to legalize completely their large-scale importation of cheap labor from Mexico and Central America.

WHO Summit: Pandemic Coming, Vaccine Production a 'National Security Matter'
by Linda Everett
If the world were to face a global pandemic influenza outbreak today, infectious disease experts internationally have one message for you: 'We are not ready for it.' The World Health Organization (WHO) held an unprecedented two-day (Nov. 10-11) influenza summit in Geneva, with WHOofficials, vaccine manufacturers, national licensing agencies, and governmental representatives, to define and address the crisis.

To Meet New Pandemic Threats, Reverse Policies Creating Public-Health Crisis
LaRouche PAC Congressional Testimony
The Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee delivered this testimony which was placed in the record of the House Committee on Government Reform's Nov. 17 hearings on 'The Nation's Flu Shot Shortage: Where Are We Today, and How Prepared Are We for Tomorrow?' The testimony was prepared for both hearings by EIR economics editor Marcia Merry Baker.

Cheney Helps Destroy UP And the U.S. Rail Grid
by Richard Freeman
Union Pacific Railroad, America's largest railroad, whose pillaging and flagrant disregard for safety have helped take down the U.S. rail grid, has benefitted from its relationship with two individuals in government: Betty Munro, the administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration, the chief agency charged with oversight of American railroads; and the U.S. President of Vice, Dick Cheney.

Trittin Headed For a Meltdown?
by Rainer Apel
Unfortunately, the greenie ideology still heavily influences politics in Germany, but judging from increasing fierce public attacks on Environmental Affairs Minister Jürgen Trittin of the Green Party, at least his days seem numbered. The drastic speculative rise of the price of crude oil is affecting motorists and industry. This has brought the message home to Germany that solar cells and windmills are not the kind of 'alternative' that will provide a sufficient supply of power in the future.

ON 'THE SOCIAL DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH'
Morals and Immortality: The U.S. Crisis Now
by Lyndon H.LaRouche, Jr.
November 17, 2004
There is a deliciously ironical aspect to EIR's receipt of the accompanying report by our Italian correspondent, Liliana Gorini. Since it was her ancestor who, quite literally, buried Giuseppe Mazzini, there is a certain exquisitely ironical appropriateness in her informing our English-speaking audience of the Vatican's release, by the Holy See's Press Office, of the 500-page 'Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church.'

  • Physical Economy, Peace: Vatican's Moral Issues
    by Liliana Gorini
    On Oct. 25, one week before the U.S. elections, Cardinal
    Renato Raffaele Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, gave a press conference at the Holy See Press Office at the Vatican to present the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, a 500-page book published by the Libreria Editrice Vaticana, which had been commissioned by Pope John Paul II. As Cardinal Martino explained, "This document has been prepared—at the request of the Holy Father, to whom it is dedicated—by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, which is fully responsible for its content. It is now made available to all— Catholics, other Christians, people of good will—who seek sure signs of truth in order to better promote the social good of persons and societies. .."

A Resolution in the Iran Nuclear Mess?
by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
The European Union's (EU) agreement with Iran over its nuclear program was, in the words of one European diplomat, a 'win-win' situation, in which both sides got what they wanted and there were no losers. Although the United States has not yet accepted the agreement, European and Iranian sources are hopeful that the Bush Administration will be boxed in, and forced to do so.

Britain's Neo-Con Blair Is Between Bush and a Hard Place
by Mary Burdman
British Prime Minister Tony Blair showed what political pressure he is under, during his foreign policy speech at the Lord Mayor of London's dinner at Mansion House in the City of London Nov. 15. This is the second most important political speech of the year, after the Queen's Speech (actually written by the government), delivered as a 'state of the union' about a month after the October opening of Parliament.

Evidence of Election Crimes Presented At Ohio Hearings
by Edward Spannaus
Testimony presenting dramatic evidence of criminal violations of the Voting Rights Act was presented at public hearings held on Nov. 13 and 15 in Columbus, Ohio, by a coalition of civil rights and voting rights groups and other organizations. An estimated 500 people attended the first hearing, and another 200 the second. There were so many people wishing to testify, that the Nov. 13 hearing, scheduled for three hours, lasted four and one-half hours.
