LaRouche Brings 'Dump Cheney' Campaign to California

Lyndon LaRouche personally brought his campaign to dump Vice President Dick Cheney and Cheney's "dirty operation" to recall Gov. Gray Davis, to California on Sept. 11, with a press conference and a breakthrough town meeting attended by 450 people in Burbank.

More than 200 enthusiastic college-age youth crowded the meeting hall, where LaRouche identified defeating the recall—Cheney's dirty trick to blame Davis for Enron's and other Cheney contributors' looting of the state—as a critical battle in the 2004 Presidential campaign. Almost simultaneously in Baltimore, the LaRouche Youth Movement's intervention into the scripted "debate" of LaRouche's nine rivals at Morgan State College broke into the international press.

Nevada State Senator and head of the state's legislative Black Caucus, Joe Neal, one of first legislators to fight and beat deregulation, introduced LaRouche at the town meeting this way: "I view LaRouche as the savior for this nation. He has spoken the truth, and should be the President of this nation."California

Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, former Lt. Governor of the state, and, as a Congressman, former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, sent a message from the legislative session that he and LaRouche are "working together not just to defeat the Recall, but to save our Democratic Party, so we can save our country."

LAROUCHE CALLS ON BUSH TO SHUT DOWN ALL FUNDING OF ISRAEL IF TALK OF EXPULSION OR ASSASSINATION OF ARAFAT PERSISTS.
Lyndon LaRouche, leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2004, today called on President Bush to stop his cowardly capitulations to Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The Synarchist Threat of the 'Beast-Man'
The following excerpt comes from LaRouche's speech to the business meeting of the International Caucus of Labor Committees, on Sept. 1, 2003.
Take the case of Synarchism.
Now, Synarchism can be traced, in its most essential roots, from sources such as the ancient cult, Phrygian cult, of Dionysus. Essentially what happened, is that some people in the 18th century, particularly those associated with the British East India Company, and Barings Bank, under Lord Shelburne, were out to defeat the American Revolution, even before it occurred...

No Debate Without LaRouche: — Report by East Coast LaRouche Youth Movement
The Democratic Presidential candidates' debate held in Baltimore, Md. Sept. 9 was a proof in principle that the only hope for the United States and the Democratic Party is Lyndon H. LaRouche and his International Youth Movement.

For Those Who Doubted It: 'It Really Is Our Time!'
The LaRouche Youth Movement in Mexico City is growing ever more rapidly, not only in size, but also intellectually. This was seen in the cadre school held Sept. 5-7, out of which four new youth decided to join the LYM fulltime; seven others are in the process of doing the same.

this week in history

September 15-21

This week we turn to an historic event of extreme importance to revival of an alliance of sovereign nation-states in the Americas: the Sept. 15, 1810 uprising of the Mexican republican independence movement against Spain. A wealth of material is currently being unearthed by the LaRouche political movement, which demonstrates the coordination, from at least the 18th century forward, among the republican forces of the Americas, toward the establishment of a community of sovereign republics. This history has been suppressed, as was this original independence movement in Mexico and the rest of the Americas, by those oligarchical—today, Synarchist—forces who wish to bury the ideas of the American Revolution forever.

The instigator of the Sept. 15, 1810 revolution was a Mexican priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. Hidalgo had been working in the state of Guanajuato, where he had distinguished himself by promoting all kinds of industry and inventions, including the silkworm industry, the pottery industry, tanneries, and later, steel-casting and cannon construction. Hidalgo had also formed a Classical music orchestra made up largely of Indians.

Within days of Hidalgo's call for the faithful to rally for the liberty of New Spain (as Mexico was then called), he held a meeting with Jose Maria Morelos, a priest from the state of Michoacan, and a member of the so-called "low clergy"—i.e., of Indian or mestizo origin. The two then formed an alliance in pursuit of independence, and an alliance with the United States of America.

From the early days of their revolution, both Hidalgo and Morelos declared slavery and debts abolished, and called themselves "Americans." They were explicitly inspired by the American Revolution and its Constitutional project and, while seeking to defend Roman Catholicism against the Bonapartist takeover of the French Church, sought an alliance with, and assistance from, their northern neighbor.

The story of how such an alliance was sabotaged, is far beyond the scope of this column, but the story will soon be made available in publications of the LaRouche movement. The fact that this collaboration between English and Spanish-speaking republicanism in this Hemisphere represented, and still represents today, a potent threat to the oligarchy, is underscored by what happened to this first Mexican revolution.

Having suffered various military defeats, in March 1811, Hidalgo decided to march toward the United States, in search of military aid and support. He was captured by Spanish royalist forces, put on trial, and killed. The same fate was suffered four years later by Morelos, who had sent his son to study in the United States.

Before they were executed, both priests were "tried" by the Inquisition, which had been revived in this period for use against the republican movement. The charges against both were "heresy," the "evidence" of which included the fact that they had sought an alliance with the United States, and had adopted philosophical "toleration" of that nation.

This served as quite a warning to those republicans in all the emerging South American republics who sought to work with the North Americans, but the reactionaries did not leave it at that. In the period between 1811 and 1816, a bloodbath was undertaken against republican forces, including scientists, in both New Grenada (today's Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador) and New Spain (Mexico). General Pablo Morillo, who carried out the slaughter in New Grenada in 1816, echoed the British "Jacobin" slogan justifying his murder of 500 scientists: "The revolution doesn't need scientists."

As the real history of American republicanism is rescued from the hands of such "left" and "right" servants of oligarchism, it is appropriate that Sept. 15, 1810 become a day of celebration for us all.

A challenge by Schiller Institute science advisor Jonathan Tennenbaum

Investigating and understanding the 'Crab' is a great project by which today's 'no-future generation' can prove how man is different from the beasts...


Economics:

LaRouche Youth Intervene In Sweden Referendum
Amidst the worsening economic situation in Europe, caused by decades of 'free trade' and globalization insanity, the leaders of continental Europe have, albeit slowly, understood that the Maastricht Treaty and its Stability Pact are blocking the necessary expansion of credit for large infrastructure projects and industrial development, without which Europe is sliding ever deeper into depression.

Breaking Out of Maastricht, Europe Moves to Tremonti Plan
by Rainer Apel
Some European Union members have begun to think about a more serious approach to incentives for a true recovery in industrial production and employment. All other approaches, from tax cuts to budget cuts, have proven to be an illusion, said Italian Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti at a gathering of international financial policy experts in Cernobbio, on Sept. 6.

China, Brazil, India Join Battle in Cancun
by Ramtanu Maitra
The World Trade Organization (WTO) Fifth Ministerial negotiations in Cancun, Mexico, which began on Sept. 10, may lay the ground for the evolution of the global trading system. But, if the developed countries continue to resist pressures from the developing countries—now led by India, China, and Brazil, which seem more determined than ever to balance asymmetries in the development agenda—the meeting will fail. At the time of writing, the developing and the developed nations are both in a fighting mood.

General Welfare Demands Rebuild U.S. Infrastructure
by Arthur Ticknor

The Aug. 14 deregulation-caused blackout that left 50 million people in darkness, shed light on the so-called 'economic recovery': All of the nation's infrastructure is similarly decayed, making day-today existence increasingly precarious.

Is U.S. Picking Russian To Loot Iraq's Economy?
by Rainer Apel
The Russian Liberal politician Boris Nemtsov revealed in Moscow on Sept. 8 that the United States is recruiting Boris Yeltsin's former tsar for economic shock therapy, deregulation, and privatization, Yegor Gaidar, to provide 'expertise' for a postwar economic policy in Iraq. George W. Bush has decided to seek Gaidar out of the conviction that 'Gaidar is the world's sole specialist who knows how to recover a country's economy,' Nemtsov said.

'Dialogue of Civilizations:'
Rhodes Conference Works On New Basis For 'Just, Compassionate, Humane Order'
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Some 350 delegates from 36 countries came together for four days on the history-laden island of Rhodes, in order to investigate the philosophical, spiritual, and moral foundations for a new and humane world order. Although the intellectuals, political leaders, theologians, artists, scientists, and economic experts were, in one sense, distant from day-to-day political affairs, they were nevertheless fully conscious of the gravity of the existential crisis facing humanity today, and they deliberated intensely on the spiritual basis which must be created, if the world is to avoid an otherwise certain Armageddon.


International:

European Culture As a Factor Of Intercivilizational Dialogue
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Can any thoughtful person today, have the slightest doubt that humanity is facing the greatest threat to its existence in its entire history? Today's global financial system is in its end-phase of collapse, due to its own systemic flaws, the result of the neo-liberal paradigm shift which began about 40 years ago in the Group of Seven nations, and somewhat later in the former Comecon nations, following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

  • The Rhodes Declaration
    This declaration on 'Dialogue of Civilizations For a Humane Order,' was issued at the World Public Forum 'Dialogue of Civilizations' in Rhodes, Greece, on Sept. 3-6, 2003.

by Kathy Wolfe
The United States, Japan, North and South Korea, China, and Russia agreed to 'keep talking' at the end of their Aug. 27-29 Six-Power talks in Beijing on North Korea's nuclear program, as China said in a final statement read to all participants.

Cheney's Role in 9/11 Put On Center Stage by British MP
by Mark Burdman

For the first time, a prominent British political figure has aired his suspicions, that the group around U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney may have intentionally caused, or allowed to happen, the mega-terrorism in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, to set into motion an era of neo-imperial wars. Labour Party Member of Parliament Michael Meacher wrote a major feature focussing on Cheney's Project for a New American Century grouping, in the London Guardian on Sept. 6.

Brazil Probes All Causes In Space-Launch Disaster
by EIR Staff
Brazil's efforts to develop an indigenous rocket-launch capability were set back on Aug. 22, when one of the four engines on the Brazilian-developed VLS rocket being readied for an upcoming launch, ignited unexpectedly, setting off an explosion and fire so intense that it totally destroyed the rocket, the two research satellites which were to be its payload, and the launch pad.

Glazyev at Center of Duma Election Campaign
by Jonathan Tennenbaum

...Thanks to developments over the Summer, what had been expected to be a relatively uneventful campaign, leading to a continuation of the present political constellation in the Duma, now promises to become more turbulent. Of particular interest will be the fate of a new electoral grouping, launched by the well-known economist and Duma member Sergei Glazyev.

LaRouche Mobilizes Youth Vs. Recall, Shakes Up 2004 Debate
by Anita Gallagher

Lyndon LaRouche personally brought his campaign to dump Vice President Dick Cheney and Cheney's 'dirty operation' to recall Gov. Gray Davis, to California on Sept. 11, with a press conference and a breakthrough town meeting attended by 450 people in Burbank.

Bustamante: Mob-Backed Lieberman's Mole
by Michele Steinberg
California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante dropped any reference in his campaigning to 'No on Recall' on Sept. 7, and told Californians to vote for him to replace Gov. Gray Davis, by which act, he showed his true colors as a mole for the mob-linked Democratic Leadership Council, and its poster-boy Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.).

Iraq Future Depends on What Bush Does on Road Map
by Michele Steinberg

On Sept. 8, a senior United States Senator from the Republican Party, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, a retired Major General, William Nash, and the former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the 1991 Gulf War, Chas. Freeman, delivered the same message to the Bush Administration about the Iraq war quagmire, and the collapse of the Middle East peace process: You broke it—now fix it.

The Knives Are Out, But Where's Cheney?
by Edward Spannaus

The knives are coming out, from all sides, against Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy Paul Wolfowitz, ranging from the traditional Eastern Establishment, to the uniformed military, and even to the hard-core neo-cons of Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard, who are attacking Rumsfeld for screwing up their imperial schemes.

  • The Establishment Speaks
    ...The military is not alone. The current issue of the official publication of the Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign Affairs, is packed with articles attacking the foreign policy failures of the Bush Administration, in what is one of the strongest signals yet of Eastern Establishment opposition to the neo-con takeover of the Bush Adminstration.
    ...Rep. David Obey (D-Wisc) and Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) have both called for Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz to resign, or be fired.

  • Adm. Arleigh Burke
  • Gen. Ray Davis
  • Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
