The Power Struggle on the Euromarkets
by David Goldman
It is now clear that the Eurodollar markets cannot continue to exist in their present form beyond a few weeks-the Eurobond market is already dead. London, seeking a new form of monetary order based on the “Brandt Commission” recommendations, has taken up strong raw materials positions; Europe, seeking an EMS-backed, gold-backed system, has made an offer to the Arabs. And the knives are out.

Jamaica: ‘Waiting for the Situation To Ripen and Rot’

Carter’s Iran Commission: Terrorists Put U.S. on Trial
by Robert Dreyfuss
The Carter administration apparently thought to use a “Commission” under UN auspices as a bargaining chip to have the hostages released in time for the New Hampshire primary. But the “grievances” which the commission, and then, perhaps, a “tribunal” would hear regarding the crimes of the shah and the U.S.A. are all focused against Western technology-and at a stroke, Carter has lent legitimacy to an outlaw government whose principal preoccupation is the training and deployment of international terrorists.

Carter Rebuffs Soviet, European Peace Initiatives
by Konstantin George
Even American hawks are frightened by the way the Carter administration has not only rejected Soviet peace offers and European warnings, but is openly flaunting its provocative “China card” and “Islamic card,” and even threatening a military presence in post-Tito Yugoslavia.

The Truth Behind Abscam: Creating a Nazi Judiciary
by L. Wolfe and Paul Goldstein
The two “special FBI operations” code-named Abscam and Brilab appear to be cases of bald entrapment of victimized officials by overzealous undercover operatives. In fact, a conspiracy is operating, in which Council on Foreign Relations news media worked from the outset with Council on Foreign Relations factions in the FBI-no “leaks” were necessary-to create a climate permitting the formation of a Nazi-style judiciary in America.
