Senate Defeat of Coup d’État Leaves Bush a Lame Duck
by Debra Hanania-Freeman
The bipartisan agreement of 14 Senators to avert the Bush-Cheney “nuclear option,” which would have turned the U.S. Senate into an impotent Parliament, has transformed the political geometry in Washington. George W. Bush is now relegated to a “rubber room” in the White House, to ride his tricycle to his heart’s content.

Rumsfeld’s Base-Closing Plan Is a Huge Real Estate Swindle
by Carl Osgood
Moving U.S. military bases to far-out suburbs is aimed at building up a new real estate bubble in areas which do not have the infrastructure to absorb these bases, and the families and service requirements that go along with them. The resulting process will increase costs, not decrease them.

On the Noëtic Principle: Vernadsky and Dirichlet’s Principle
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche examines afresh the seminal 1935 work On Some Fundamental Problems of Biogeochemistry, by the Russian-Ukrainian geobiochemist Vladmir I. Vernadsky. “The characteristics of the Biosphere, as Vernadsky and his Laboratory defined it,” LaRouche writes, “and Noösphere, as I define physical economies as wholes, are analogous. Everything to which I have referred, on this account, in excerpting Vernadsky’s 1935 paper, has a parallel in my methods of a science of physical economy.”
