Priority Campaign Issue Is President Bush’s Insanity
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Speaking to a Washington audience on Oct. 6, in a webcast conference sponsored by LaRouche PAC, Lyndon H. LaRouche outlined the three kinds of insanity that have to be eradicated, if the crisis in America and the world is to be overcome: the insanity of the incumbent President; the mass insanity, as typified by religious fundamentalism; and the cultural insanity known as “free trade,” which has turned the United States, once the world’s most productive nation, into a junk heap. “In order to stop the fascists, who are clearly marching behind Bush-Cheney, we have to get them out now. But we have to make sure that a Kerry Administration does not, out of liberalism, capitulate to the demands of the bankers, in the way the Europeans capitulated to the bankers in installing fascism in 1933, in particular, in Germany.... That’s why this PAC exists.”

Triple Shock: How To Think About the Global Crisis
by Jonathan Tennenbaum

And by system, I don’t just mean certain contractual agreements, but actually the entire basis of ideas, the entire thought structure, the agreements, the institutions, the arrangements, formal or informal, that have governed the world over recent decades, and in a sense, since 1763.”
