1. The Roman Precedent
There is no stretching of the comparison in this choice of an historic parallel for the currently pending adoption of USNNORTHCOM. Following the 212 B.C. murder of Archimedes, during the Roman conquest of Syracuse, the most powerful obstacle to them in what is today's southern Italy, the Roman Legions conducted a rampage of military conquests and continually aggravated looting throughout the Mediterranean littoral.

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Friday, May 17, 2002
The proposal for the probably unlawful, U.S. Army Northern Command ("USNORTHCOM"), when taken in its current strategic-policy-setting, is clearly a proposal to "Cross the Rubicon," a preparation to create a Caesarian military dictatorship over both the North American continent and the Caribbean, in imitation of the 49 B.C. action of Julius Caesar's setting off that civil war among Roman military forces which led to the 31 B.C. establishment of the Empire of Augustus Caesar. In today's world, it is a preparation for the Pentagon to

Lyndon LaRouche made history with his May 1 international webcast; he intends to do the same with a Memorial Day webcast, working to turn the world back from the precipice of war.
LaRouche To Hold International Memorial Day Webcast May 28
Democratic Party 2004 Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche issued a solemn statement inviting international leaders and the public to participate in his Memorial Day international webcast, which is being held Tuesday May 28, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Coming on the heels of the candidate's historic May 1 webcast, this follow-up event will be conducted to further the process of bringing together an international combination that can turn the world back from the precipice of global religious war, and a New Dark Age. In his May 9 statement, LaRouche, a World War II veteran, said: "After the close of the first of the two world wars of the last century, our republic committed itself to remember in perpetuity those who had fallen in battles.

In fact, the NRA was a mixed bag, which adopted measures of varying endurance to accomplish the objectives of increasing employment and protecting the wages and working conditions of the U.S. labor force. The fact that some of Roosevelt's brain trust wanted to do this by restricting production, and creating mini-cartelsmeasures that were later ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Courtdoes not take away from the value of the goals.
Indeed, prior to the drafting of the NIRA, a powerful grouping in the Senate had already passed a bill proposed Alabama Senator Huge Black, which would mandate a 30-hour week, in order to "spread" the work around.
