The Uniquely Needed Doctrine for U.S. Economic Survival Today: Why ‘Fiscal Austerity’ Is Insane

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“Today’s spreading demands, both in and from the U.S.A.’s political, financier, and economists’ circles, for the kinds of ‘fiscal austerity’ which led Germany under Chancellors Heinrich Brüning and Franz von Papen into the Adolf Hitler regime, can have a far worse immediate effect now, than similar policies of the 1929-1933 period in both Europe and the U.S.A. then. Those methods of fiscal austerity, are not merely wrong; to attempt to revive them now, to repeat that error once again, is not merely foolish, it would be insane.”

Candidate Presents ‘The Keys to Peace’ for Southwest Asia

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon LaRouche’s webcast speech to a meeting in Washington, D.C. on April 30. “I’m saying to the world, right now, via this broadcast, this webcast, and otherwise: ‘You better turn to me, buddy. Because this is your last shot. If I go, you don’t have anything else that’s capable of leading the United States, in a fighting position, now.’ And, if we don’t have somebody in a leading position in the United States, in the Presidency, who’s steering this country’s leading role in the world, there’s no hope for Europe, there’s no hope for the United Nations, or from it; and there’s no hope for the world at large.”

Warnings That Sharon’s Latest War Schemes Target

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Syria Israeli reports of Sharon’s plans for a “war of distraction” against Syria, were further buttressed by the renewed attacks on Syria by Bush Administration neo-cons, including the State Department’s John Bolton, who charged that Syria is in possession of equipment for making nuclear bombs. Sound familiar?

Iraq Torture Shows the Face of Cheney’s ‘Beast-Men’

by Edward Spannaus

The torture in Iraq as revealed—and “on the ground” reports are far more extensive—is simply the policy of the Straussian neo-cons around Cheney who’ve controlled the Administration since 9/11. LaRouche’s Children of Satan pamphlets nailed it, and gave it a name: synarchism.
