During the 1964-81 interval, from the launching of the U.S. official war in Indo-China, through the inauguration of Paul Volcker as chairman of the Federal Reserve System, the United States of America was transformed from the world's leading producer society, into what became that presently, terminally bankrupt "post-industrial" wreckage, which has been bestowed upon the currently crumbling Administration of Vice President Dick Cheney's puppet, George W. Bush, Jr. So far, as the worsening horrors now reported from U.S. operations in Iraq attest, what the world has seen there, is a growing image of that U.S. display of a quality of sheer, literally Hitler-like "beastliness" toward mankind, of which only depraved man were capable of becoming, at home, and, therefore, also abroad.
The available remedy for these perilous conditions, would be a return to the successful precedents of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration.

Any attempt to define a competent national security doctrine for the U.S.A. now must take into account the threat to Trans-Atlantic civilization represented by the rapid emergence of some Europeans' ideas for which the gentlest possible of appropriate technical terms, is "a comic-opera farce": a new, secular, and frankly lunatic echo of medieval ultramontanism in Europe: a London-steered, frankly imperialist, and implicitly fascist, anti-American cult parading under such banners as "Euro-socialism."

We move this week to June 21, 1964, the day on which three civil rights workersJames Chaney (21) of Meridian, Miss.; Micky Schwerner (24) of New York; and Andrew Goodman (20) of New Yorkdisappeared in Mississippi, after having visited a church which had been burned on June 17. All three were eventually found to have been murdered, their bodies discovered on Aug. 4, under a vast mound of dirt, on a farm near Philadelphia, Mississippi.
The threeone of them black, and the two New Yorkers whitehad been part of a project called Mississippi Freedom Summer, which had been pulled together by the joint efforts of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The three organization formed COFO (Council of Federated Organizations), which was aimed at coordinating mass voter registration and education efforts in the state with the fewest registered voters among African-Americans in the nation.
Hideous as these deaths were, they had been anticipated. The organizers of the voter registration project, who had been working in Mississippi for a long time, and seen black people beaten or even killed for their efforts at getting their rights, had calculated that bringing in large numbers of Northern white youth would put a national spotlight on the ongoing atrocities. Those who went South as part of Freedom Summer, were all told to communicate constantly with their families, their Congressmen, and others. SNCC's James Forman told them to be prepared for death: "I may be killed, You may be killed. The whole staff may go." They were also taught to practice non-violence in response to persecution and attacks.
Approximately 1,000 young people, mostly white and middle class, responded to the call from civil rights organizations to go to Mississippi in the summer of 1964. Some ministers joined them, for varying lengths of time. They were entering a situation which had been prepared by SNCC voter-registration project head Bob Moses, and which was geared toward preparation for the Presidential elections of 1964.
Freedom Summer can be seen as the high point of the student civil rights movement, before the pressures from black nationalism began to cause dissension in the ranks of SNCC and other organizations. The philosophy of SNCC (born in 1960 out of the sit-in movement) at that time was reflected in the organization's statement of purpose:
"We affirm the philosophical or religious ideal of nonviolence as the foundation of our purpose, the presupposition of our faith, and the manner of our action. Nonviolence as it grows from Judaic-Christian tradition seeks a social order of justice permeated by love.
"Through nonviolence, courage displaces fear; love transforms hate. Acceptance dissipates prejudice; hope ends despair. Peace dominated war; faith reconciles doubt. Mutual regard cancels enmity. Justice for all overthrows injustice. The redemptive community supersedes systems of gross social immorality.
"Love is the central motif of nonviolence. Love is the force by which God links man to himself and man to man. Such love goes to the extreme; it remains loving and forgiving even in the midst of hostility. It matches the capacity of evil to inflict suffering with an even more enduring capacity to absorb evil, all the while persisting in love."
While it cannot be said that every young person who went to Mississippi to expose him or herself to the dangers of the voter-registration project believed in this credo, there is no doubt that many did. They put themselves in danger of beatings, firebombings, and other harassment, simply by congregating, white with black. They were constantly being attacked in the local press as "race-mixers," or worse. They canvassed for voter registration, picketed outside voter-registration places, held Freedom schools, and worked toward the growth of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.
Through the course of the summer, 17,000 black residents of Mississippi attempted to vote, although only 1,600 of their completed applications were accepted. But, more than the short-term gains in voters, was the fact that the focus of the nation was put on Mississippi and its brutal inequities. The murders of Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman were never successfully solvedbut their deaths on behalf of the cause of racial equality, and the dignity of every man and woman, served to bring a moral challenge to the nation, which was at least partially fulfilled in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and which resonates among fighters for justice even today.

LaRouche Bares Roots Of Cheney's Fascism
by the Editors
The third of the series of 'Beast-Man' reports... The new pamphlet, which exposes the U.S. and British pro-imperialist forces behind the crimes of Lynne Cheney's carpet-chewing husband Vice President Dick Cheney, went like hot-cakes in the Super-Watergate atmosphere of the nation's capital.
- What Does Culture Do?
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
As we have documented this fact in locations published earlier, the turn in direction of pathway, away from President Franklin Roosevelt's leadership, toward the catastrophe which is our nation's terrible condition today, was begun as part of an operation in which the later head of our Central Intelligence Agency, John Foster Dulles' brother Allen...
- The Congress for Cultural Freedom: Making the Postwar World Safe for 'Fascist Kulturkampf'
by Steven P. Meyer and Jeffrey Steinberg
Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer were two of the earliest leaders of the Frankfurt School, and were co-directors of that Authoritarian Personality project of the late 1940s, that willfully engineered the Baby Boomer drug/rock/sex counterculture two decades later.
- The CCF and the 'God of Thunder' Cult
by Stanley Ezrol, with Jeffrey Steinberg and Anton Chaitkin
In 1974, the well-known British psychiatrist, Dr. William Sargant, published a book, The Mind Possessed: A Physiology of Possession, Mysticism and Faith Healing. The book was sequel to his 1957 study, The Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brainwashing, the earlier book being a how-to-do-it manual for producing a 'cultural paradigm shift' towards an existentialist, irrationalist dark age society, which was precisely the agenda of the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

Lord Bertrand Russell, one of the honorary chairman of the Sexual Congress for Cultural Fascism, spilled the beans on the network's efforts in mass social engineering in his 1951 book, The Impact of Science on Society. But this mind-control dictatorship was not a passing thought; Russell had been working on the idea for decades. Russell describes the profounded gram in a 1931 book, The Scientific Outlooka totalitarian manual...
- The Bizarre Case of Baroness Symons
by Jeffrey Steinberg
The LaRouche in 2004 Campaign has amassed a vast amount of evidence that the British Fabian Society 'New Labour' inner circles around Prime Minister Tony Blair and the 10 Downing Street intelligence and dirty tricks apparatus, are engaged in a trans-Atlantic criminal intervention to disrupt the upcoming Democratic Party nominating convention, scheduled for late July 2004 in Boston, Mass.

European Parliament Voters Oust Incumbents, Reject EU Austerity
by Rainer Apel
The elections for the European Parliament on June 13 led to a drastic loss of votes for the governing parties in all 25 member countries except Slovakia, as a result of increasing discontent among voters with the budget-cutting policies of governments, in line with the European Union's Maastricht Treaty rules.
- New Tower of Babel Flops at Starting-Gate
by Lyndon LaRouche
The combination of the slap in the face to Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair in the British municipal elections, and the confusion and widespread popular indifference shown in the pattern of election-results in [June 13] European Union elections, marks the beginning of a phase-shift in Anglo-American financier circles' policies of imperial globalization.
Election Fiasco 'Kicks' Blair, New Labour
by Mark and Mary Burdman
British Prime Minister Tony Blair suffered his worst humiliation, in June 10 local elections and European Parliament contests across England and Wales, since he was elected in May 1997. The result of Blair's Labour Party's miserable showing in both, is that the Prime Minister is now, at best, a lame duck, ripe to be removed from power at some early date in the coming months.
Israeli Military Intelligence Leaders Expose Lies of Sharon and His Generals
by Dean Andromidas
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his hardline generals have, for the last three years, openly called for the assassination of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. They have told the Israeli public and the world, and convinced the Bush Administration, that Arafat wants to destroy Israel and therefore there is no "partner" for peace negotiations. Known in Israel as the konseptzia, or "concept," it has been used by Sharon to justify the continuation of a brutal policy that has led to the death of over 3,000 Palestinians and over 1,000 Israelis.
Is Taiwan the Pawn in Neo-Con Push for an Anti-China War?
by Leni Rubinstein
A recent Pentagon study which contains an unambiguous threat to bomb China's Three Gorges Dam, is causing a political earthquake in Asia. One of the major reasons for concern is that the current leadership in Taiwan is highly susceptible to being used as a pawn in this neo-con scenario, as my recent visit to the island showed.
Conditions in Iraq Are Worse Than a Year Ago
by Hussein Askary
As Iraqis prepare to go into another horribly hot Summer, literally and politically, many people are losing hope, or desperately express a paradoxical longing for the days of Saddam's dictatorship. At leastsome would saythen there was enough drinking water, electricity for air conditioning, and security.

If anyone hopes to find a reiteration of Gen. Tony Zinni's now widely circulated and devastating indictment of the Pentagon neo-conservatives around those ill-starred friends of Ahmed ChalabiRichard Perle and Paul Wolfowitzin the autobiography of the General, they may be somewhat disappointed, as little has been said about the issue of the neo-cons' 'rush to war' in Iraq, with its multifarious and unfolding scandals.
