SUBJECT: OPEN LETTER TO THE DNC

THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT IN YOUR LIVES TO DATE!

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

February 8, 2004

It will be approximately two o'clock in the afternoon, U.S.A. Eastern Standard Time on Feb. 14, when many people from around the world will see, or hear a broadcast of my delivery of the most important political address to have been given anywhere in the world, by anyone, in more than a century to date. That debate will describe a presently oncoming turning-point in world history, a turning-point to be reached, in fact, between the period of the Democratic nominating convention, in Boston, Massachusetts this summer, and the election of the next President of the U.S.A. a few months later. The content and occasion of that address will prove to be, whether that audience now agrees, or not, the most important moment of the lives of every person living today.

I outlined the principal topic of that debate to a select group of leading figures of my association at a meeting held in this past Saturday. The background to the crucial features of that topic is outlined as follows.

Unconstitutional Coup Threatens Iran Election
by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
Unless a dramatic shift in the Iranian political situation is effected by the highest authority in the land, there will be no parliamentary elections worthy of the name held in that nation on Feb. 20. Due to illegal maneuvres by the Guardians Council, a 12-man arch-conservative entity charged with vetting candidates for office, conditions have been created for a totally rigged vote, which Iran's reformists vow to boycott.

BüSo Party Congress

Iraq Cover-Up Is Cracking In Britain As Well
by Mark Burdman and Mary Burdman

With new revelations emerging daily about how he brought Britain into the illegal military adventure in Iraq, British Prime Minister Tony Blair might be forgiven for having the feeling that he is caught in quicksand. Blair is learning one of the nastier characteristics of quicksand: The more you flail about, the faster you sink.

A Regime That Threatens The U.S. Republic Itself
by Anton Chaitkin
American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush
by Kevin Phillips
New York: Viking/Penguin Books, 2004
397 pp., hardbound, $25.95
'This book has changed a lot . . . since I began writing it in December 2002,' says Kevin Phillips in the preface to American Dynasty. A former strategist for Republican President Richard Nixon, turned political independent, Phillips had always considered the Bushes 'Elitists'; and he had started work on what was to be a more-or-less critical Bush family biography. At that time, the Administration's extreme pro-war grouping—Cheney and the neoconservatives—was pouring out lies to overcome the timid moderates' resistance to the planned Iraq invasion.

On the Subject of Tariffs and Trade
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

January 12, 2004

During 1959-60, I began warning, as an economist, that if the policies associated with Arthur Burns were continued deep into the 1960s, we must expect a series of crises in the existing monetary system during the second half of that decade. I warned, that if those policies were continued, despite the warning-shots of these monetary crises, there would be a general collapse of the existing Bretton Woods system. President John F. Kennedy threatened to correct those erroneous policies; the 1962 missile crisis, his assassination, and the official Indo-China war which his assassination made possible, ensured that the economic trends against which I had warned in (admittedly) reports of limited circulation, would continue. Whether my voice were much heard or not at that time, the decision was made, in effect, and the consequences which I had foreseen followed.

Debt Overtaking Not Just U.S. Households, But National GDP
by Richard Freeman

The first part of this analysis was published in last week's EIR, Feb. 6, 2004.
The debt load on the U.S. economy has spiralled wildly out of control in recent years: Americans are now taking extraordinary and unsustainable measures to pay that debt, undermining their personal and national existence.

Which Way Out of Germany's Discontent?
by Rainer Apel

At the weekly cabinet session Jan. 28, Chancellor Gerhard Schröder surprised Health Minister Ulla Schmidt with his decree to stop all work on the planned citizens' burden-sharing of special care insurance; and also to put a halt on all other such projects for budget cuts for the time being. After the cabinet session, Schröder told the press: 'We have reached the limit of tolerance. . . The population cannot take any more.'

Conference Report:
Water Policy in The Hands of Bottlers
by Ramtanu Maitra
The national conference on water for a sustainable and secure future, organized by the National Council for Science and Environment (NCSE) and held on Jan. 29-30 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., was the proverbial mountain delivering a mouse. It became evident at the outset that water is no longer seen as a national issue; the concept of water management has boiled down to bottling the water, and no more.

LaRouche Targets Cheney's 'Impeachable Offenses'
by Jeffrey Steinberg

In campaign interviews in Missouri and Delaware, during the first week of February, Democratic Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche accused Vice President Dick Cheney of 'impeachable crimes.' He identified Cheney's ouster from office as a precondition for restoring America's shattered relations with the rest of the world, and for preventing an otherwise imminent plunge into global wars and chaos under the 'Cheney Doctrine' of preventive nuclear war.

Good Riddance to Lieberman, Soon It Will Be Kerry vs. LaRouche
by Nancy Spannaus

While the Democratic Presidential primaries continue to be a 'horse race,' with voters betting on their favorite, a necessary winnowing-out process is ongoing. Most welcome is the withdrawal of Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) following the last round of primaries, and, as of this writing, the handwriting is definitely on the wall for Howard Dean and Wesley Clark.

  • LaRouche: 'Super Bowl Tuesday's Results'
    This statement by Presidential candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. was released on Feb. 5 by the LaRouche in 2004 campaign committee.
    Thumbs Up! Or, Thumbs Down! The Roman Empire, too, had its Super Bowl Sundays and Tuesdays. So, in the course of time, Rome's spectators died in their own arena. There was the Super Bowl on the day before Groundhog ay, Sunday. Then, there was the Super Fishbowl
    game on Election Day, Tuesday. On Tuesday, the citizens marched from where they had been sitting as spectators, to take their places as the gladiators dying in the bloody
    arena below.
  • Sharpton 'Outed' As Right-Wing GOP Mole
    The Village Voice of Feb. 5. exposed Al Sharpton as a tool of right-wing Republican dirty tricks operative Roger Stone, who is 'financing, staffing, and orchestrating' Sharpton's Presidential campaign. Author Wayne Barrett quotes Stone saying that he and Sharpton share 'a mutual obsession: We both hate the Democratic Party.'
