World Nuclear War When? McAuliffe’s Deadly Delusions: or, How Harry Truman Defeated Himself

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“Now, as Truman did in 1949-50, the Leo-Straussian neo-conservative bloc which is still running its virtual puppet-Presidency of George W. Bush, is successfully forcing the deployment of operations which impel nations, including important powers from around the world, to perceive an intent to destroy both China and Russia; that, as the end-game phase of a process of piecemeal dividing and destroying of the nations of Europe and Asia generally.” Why is the bleating flock of selected, eminently cullable “official” Democratic candidates for President not speaking out against this madness? Ask the sheep-herder, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe.

Parasitical U.S. Economy Reaching End of Bailout Road

by John Hoefle

Virtually every sector of the economy is bankrupt, and robbing Peter to bail out Paul doesn’t work when both are desperate for cash. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan’s dilemma is that the low interest rates which are necessary to keep debt service somewhere near manageable levels, undercut the usurious gouging upon which oligarchic finance is based.

Re-creating the Republic: How Abraham Lincoln Organized Victory For the Union

by H. Graham Lowry

By the late historian and leader in the LaRouche movement. “The United States in 1860 was on the brink of total destruction. Abraham Lincoln knew it; a handful of other patriots knew it on one level or another; and the plotters seeking to overthrow the government were becoming bolder every day. What was the threat to the constitutional republic in 1860? Secession? The spread of slavery? Civil war? These dangers by then had been broadly recognized—even openly promoted by leading Southerners. But these were secondary aspects of a planned coup d’état to bring the constitutional republic of the United States to an end. Abraham Lincoln dared to shoulder the unique responsibility for simultaneously defending the republic from its enemies and creating the conditions for a lasting peace.”

The ‘British Watergate’ Can Bring Down Blair and Cheney

by Mark Burdman

Testimony by Prime Minister Blair’s own chief of staff signalled that Britain’s establishment has made the decision to axe Blair, precisely over the corrupt efforts he made to falsify intelligence to justify U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney’s “preventive war” doctrine being applied to Iraq.

Bombings Pave Sharon’s Way to Another War

by Dean Andromidas

This threat of war will never be alleviated, as long as Sharon is in power; and he is merely a hand grenade in the hands of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and the Straussian chicken-hawks in the Bush Administration who back him.

by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
