Need to Know This Week
Vice President Cheney Can Be Removed From Office Now!

In his webcast of July 2, Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. made it clear, once again, that the only effective way to stop the Chickenhawk drive to expand the war against Iraq into Iran, and elsewhere, is to target Vice President Dick Cheney, for his impeachable crimes, including lying to the President about intelligence.

"The reason we went to a war in Iraq, was because the Democratic Party was neutralized, by the belief, that Cheney had the evidence, that Iraq was getting nuclear weapons. Cheney knew there were no such nuclear weapons. Cheney knew the story about Niger 'yellow cake' going to Iraq was a fraud. And yet, with that knowledge, he pushed that argument, in order to convince the Congress to subside, and to allow the war to go ahead."

Yet, now that the "intelligence" about Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq appears to be a fraud, those Democrats who are upset are not targetting Cheney, but going after President Bush. LaRouche's rivals for the Democratic Presidential nomination are acting like fools who are not in the real world. Senator Kerry, as LaRouche pointed out in his webcast, is carrying out a shameful, Hamlet-like evasion, by targetting the President, instead of Cheney, on whom he had the goods. The same for Howard "Who?" Dean.

July 14-20, 1789

Few schoolchildren, perhaps even in these anti-history days, are unfamiliar with "Bastille Day," the famous occasion on July 14, 1789 when the French mob of Paris stormed the Bastille prison, and set in motion the bloody process called the French Revolution. To this day, July 14 is celebrated in France as a day of liberation. And admirers from around the world, such as the group Dems.com in the U.S. today, frequently join in.

Yet, as a genuine republican holiday, Bastille Day is a fraud! We share here the real history behind that fraud, in an excerpt and précis from an article by Pierre Beaudry, published on Jan. 26, 2001 in Executive Intelligence Review. That article celebrated the true French republicans, Jean Sylvain Bailly and the Marquis de Lafayette, whose efforts in coordination with Benjamin Franklin and other American revolutionaries were disrupted and destroyed, by design, by the process set in motion on Bastille Day.

Beaudry wrote of July 14:

"What is not generally known, is that this was not a true revolution, but a counter-revolution, organized from the headquarters of the 'radical writers' club' of Lord Shelburne and Jeremy Bentham, head of intelligence, in England, which orchestrated, with the complicity of Finance Minister Necker, the Duke of Orléans (otherwise known as Philippe Égalité), and Baron Pierre-Victor Besenval, the massacre of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 (see EIR, April 21, 2000, p. 64). This in turn spawned the terrorist actions of the Jacobin leaders Jean-Paul Marat, Georges Jacques Danton, and Maximilian Robespierre, and the Reign of Terror. As he reported in his memoirs, Bailly had evidence that Marquis de Launay, the Governor of the Bastille, had opened the doors of the prison to Pierre-Victor, Baron de Besenval of Bronstadt, a Swiss officer, commander of the foreign troops that had invaded Paris, in 1789, and who ordered him to set up, in June of that year, at least two weeks before Bastille Day, 'special artillery platforms for the emplacement of cannons pointed toward the boulevard, Saint-Antoine Place, and the side of the Arsenal.'

"What is also not generally known, is that the Bastille terrorist action was aimed at destroying the heroic actions of Franklin's associates, Bailly and Lafayette, and their efforts to replicate a second American Revolution on the European continent. As such, the Bastille served as a smokescreen to overshadow the solemn Tennis Court Oath of June 20, 1789, which had already demonstrated the true national sovereignty of the National Assembly as a representative government of France. In fact, the event of the swearing of the oath represented the culmination of several powerful legislative decisions made by Bailly's National Assembly, which reflected the 'act of constitution' of a National Assembly that established the foundations of a true republic."

What Beaudry documents, beyond doubt, is that Bailly, who was a Leibnizian scientist of astronomy, the first republican mayor of Paris, and the first organizer of the Paris Guard, was actually the founder of the revolutionary National Assembly of France, an Assembly which had dissolved the feudal form of government, and committed itself to republicanism weeks before the Bastille Day event. Yes, Bailly, and Lafayette, were in favor of maintaining the monarchy under France's new Constitution, but it was not to be an absolute monarchy. The alternative to their proposal was the disastrous manipulation of the street mobs by the oligarchy, which turned the country over to Jacobin mob-rule, in order to better "restore order" through the likes of the dictator Napoleon later on.

Shaping Campaign Policy: Sedate That Accountant!
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The following was released by the LaRouche in 2004 campaign committee on July 8, 2003.
Herbert Hoover's foolishness of 1929-1933 has now been running the U.S. economy once again, for more than the past three, ruinous decades. The present result of that is, that the mental vacuum in the top ranks of the leading U.S. political party organizations, is now the source of that 'great sucking sound' to which Ross Perot referred prophetically in his own 1992 campaign against the insanity of NAFTA.

Will United States Finally Join the Mekong River Project?
by Mike Billington
The 'great project' of developing the mighty Mekong River in Southeast Asia was once called the United States' last option for ending the disastrous Vietnam War. Nearly 40 years later, on June 26, 2003, for the first time, a public forum was held in Washington to discuss the potential for the United States to become involved in one of the great infrastructure projects of our age. The region defined by the Mekong starts in China's western provinces, whence it flows through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

U.S. Is Losing Its Watershed Infrastructure
The Executive Director of the National Watershed Coalition, John W. Peterson, a watershed specialist, spoke to Marcia Merry Baker of EIR on May 30 about the growing 'infrastructure deficit' in the management of the land and water resource base of the United States, particularly since the 'Conservative Revolution' 104th Congress of 1994.

Fiscal 2004 Begins: States in Maelstrom
by Mary Jane Freeman
Forty-six of the 50 American Federal states began a new fiscal year on July 1. At least five or six of them started Fiscal Year 2004 with no budget, or only a stop-gap measure to keep government open. Another four squeaked by, passing a budget in the wee hours of June 30-July 1. Three others saw their governors use executive powers to suspend payment of already-appropriated funds...

Cheney's Fraud To Bring Down Britain's Blair?
by Mark Burdman
As Lyndon LaRouche's fight to get U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney out of office is being massively bolstered by the revelations by former Ambassador Joseph Wilson about Cheney's role in falsifying 'Iraqi weapons of mass destruction' (WMD) intelligence, the same scandal may bring down another culprit. British Prime Minister Tony Blair is under fire for his wild lies about the Iraqi threat...

Mexican Elections Hand Setback to Wall Street
by Rubén Cota Meza
A whopping 59% of the Mexican electorate failed to vote in the July 6 elections for the Chamber of Deputies, in what was widely viewed as a rejection of President Vicente Fox's government, as well as for the political parties as a whole.

Major Setback for The Bush Administration
by Ramtanu Maitra
The Bush Administration's war on terrorism has run aground The Bush Administration's war on terrorism has run aground in Afghanistan, as demonstrated by two recent incidents—one in Pakistan's province of Balochistan, bordering Afghanistan, on July 4; and four days later, an attack on the Pakistani Embassy in Kabul.

Bush Must Turn Up Heat, Make Sharon Make Peace
by Dean Andromidas
'Without constant pressure directly from Bush, Sharon will do nothing. This is what we have seen in the last weeks. Sharon continues to balk, until Washington intervenes and pressures him,' a senior Israeli military source told EIR, adding that if President George Bush does not escalate the pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the Road Map for a Middle East peace will collapse.

Australia Dossier: Fascist ASIO Bill Rammed Through
by Robert Barwick

Vice President Cheney Can Be Removed From Office Now!
by Nancy Spannaus and Jeffrey Steinberg
In his webcast of July 2, Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche made it clear, once again, that the only effective way to stop the 'chicken-hawk' drive to expand the war against Iraq into Iran, and elsewhere, is to expose Vice President Dick Cheney for his impeachable crimes, including lying to the President about intelligence.

Missing Link: How Right-Wing Neo-Cons Created 'Democratic Leadership Council'
by Michele Steinberg
Democrats may be still suffering under the delusion that the Democratic Leadership Council—which brags that the 'top four' Democratic Presidential candidates are 'Blair Democrats' who supported the Iraq War—is something other than a right-wing Trojan Horse and protection racket for Vice President Dick Cheney, as Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche has exposed. Some even think that the DLC wants to win the Presidency in 2004....Au contraire!

How Gingrich Berserkers Seized Democratic Party
by Anton Chaitkin
When Ted Kennedy warned in January 1995 that America doesn't need two Republican Parties, he had the problem inside out. Evidence newly appearing confirms that a single gang, the hyper-New Age fascists around Newt Gingrich and Alvin Toffler, was then strangling Republicans and Democrats, while sweeping aside the traditionalists in both parties.

Behind the Howard 'Who?' Dean Phenomenon
by Nancy Spannaus
Is the Dean Presidential campaign like the IT bubble? In the midst of all the hype about the Howard (Who?) Dean Presidential campaign's report on his second quarter fundraising —he says he raised $7.5 million from 59,000 contributors—it's worth looking behind the statistics. What is the Dean campaign, really?

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.
