President George W. Bush, Jr.
Attempts Our Species-Jump Down

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

October 21, 2006

To sum it all up: on the surface of events so far, the principal fault of the current U.S. Administration of President George W. Bush, Jr., is, that the entire term of that President has been, from the start, an attempt at a species-jump down. Call him "Miniver Cheevy" Bush: "... child of scorn," and concede, that "he had reasons"; but, also say, that that child of scorn, is what he is, now, and in history to come.

President George W. Bush, Jr. Attempts Our Species-Jump Down
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
October 21, 2006
To sum it all up: on the surface of events so far, the principal fault of the current U.S. Administration of President George W. Bush, Jr., is, that the entire term of that President has been, from the start, an attempt at a species-jump down. Call him 'Miniver Cheevy' Bush: '. . . child of scorn,' and concede, that 'he had reasons'; but, also say, that that child of scorn, is what he is, now, and in history to come.

War Party Exposes Itself As the Campus Gestapo
by Aaron Yule, LaRouche Youth Movement
In an Oct. 12 memo, Lyndon LaRouche wrote: 'In other words. the issue is not whether or not Cheney et al. will make use of the option of an 'October Surprise' sort of military assualt on Iran. Nor is the issue whether Cheney might launch an attack some time after the election. The issue is not one or another possible incident; from the standpoint of Cheney and the forces behind him, the war is already in progress, and will not end until either one side or the other has won, or all succumb to the mutual destruction which the contending parties bring upon themselves.

Will Ayn Rand Disciple Greenspan Repudiate Genocidalist Brook?
The ongoing speaking tour by Yaron Brook, head of the Ayn Rand Institute, in which he calls for the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Muslims as a means of 'fighting extremism,' has raised the question of where the most prominent disciple of Ayn Rand in the United States stands on this issue. That disciple is Alan Greenspan, former head of the Federal Reserve, and the man increasingly excoriated internationally as responsible for the most destructive set of financial bubbles in history. Will Greenspan repudiate the openly genocidal calls of his fellow Ayn Randist, Yaron Brook?

Revolt of Generals On Eve of Elections
by Jeffrey Steinberg
On Oct 26, several hundred active duty, reserve, and National Guard soldiers issued an Appeal for Redress to the U.S. Congress, calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. The short petition-statement, initiated by active duty servicemen based in the Norfolk, Virginia area, and sponsored by Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, and Military Families Speak Out, read: 'As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.'

The Nuremberg Precedent: When Lawyers Are War Criminals
by Nancy and Ed Spannaus
With the current intensification of popular sentiment favoring the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, it is crucial to focus on their most serious crimes and offenses against the U.S. Constitution. Certainly at the top of any such bill of impeachment, should be the waging of aggressive war, and conspiring to commit war crimes, offenses for which top German military and civilian officials were tried and convicted at Nuremberg in 1946, with the United States taking the leading role in establishing such crimes as offenses against humanity and international law which require the the perpetrators be brought to justice.

Youth Vote Decisive in Defeating Joe Lieberman
by Michele Steinberg and an EIR Research Team
When Lynne Cheney and her Dick want a dirty job done in Washington, they invariably have turned to 'neo-con' Joe Lieberman. The 2006 midterm election, where the Cheneys are desperate to destroy the Democratic Party and hold on to their dictatorship, is no exception.

Does 'Big Sister' Cheney Own Joe Lieberman Too?
by Mark Bender and Michele Steinberg
On Oct. 24, the Connecticut media unexpectedly exploded with joyful song, in the form of coverage of the previous night's three-way Senatorial debate among Democrat Ned Lamont, 'Republican' Joe Lieberman (officially an Independent), and 'Footnote' Alan Schlesinger.

Lieberman Founded Shultz's Cttee. on Present Danger
by Michele Steinberg
In a June 25, 2004 article, EIR asked the question in the headline, 'Did Lieberman Resign from the Democratic Party?' Today, Sen. Joe Lieberman is honorary co-chairman of the warmongering Committee on the Present Danger, which is headed by George Pratt Shultz, Synarchist string-puller and controller of the Bush Administration, and James Woolsey, former advisor to Donald Rumsfeld on the hoked-up pre-war Iraq intelligence.

GOP Megabucks Flood Lieberman Campaign
by Michele Steinberg and George Canning
Is it legal for the Republican Party to run two candidates for Senate in the same state and the same election? That's what voters, and enforcement agencies like the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice should be investigating.

Fascist Buckley Put Lieberman in the Senate
by Scott Thompson
Reprinted from EIR, July 26, 2002.
It is a bizarre truth, but one that American voters need to know, that National Review founder and 'Catholic' fascist William F. Buckley made the Senate career of Democratic Presidential threat Joseph Lieberman. The leading intellectual spokesman for McCarthyism as long ago as the 1950s, Buckley was responsible for putting then-Connecticut Attorney General Joe Lieberman in the U.S. Senate, in the 1988 election against liberal Republican incumbent Sen. Lowell Weicker.

Lieberman's Cuban Money-Bags Linked To Terrorism
As of Oct. 24, 2006, Luis Posada Carriles, deputy to CIA 'black ops' specialist Felix Rodriquez in the infamous Ollie North/George H.W. Bush 'secret government,' is on his way to being a free man. Convicted in Venezuela for crimes related to the terrorist blowing up—in midair—of a Cuban passenger plane in 1976, which killed 73 people, Posada then escaped in 1985, through the work of Felix Rodriguez, with bribe money provided by Joe Lieberman's Florida money-bags, Jorge Mas Canosa.

DIRTY TRICKS IN BERLIN
'Flaming' Rose and The Burned Democrats
On Oct. 31, at one of the conferences jointly organized the United States Embassy in Berlin and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, on the coming American Congressional election, a key operative in the fascist network which, in the United States, has called for the mass murder of Muslims, will featured.

Only a New Combination in Washington Can Stop a Deadly Partition of Iraq
by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
If you think that the Bush Administration has adopted a 'new' strategy for Iraq, as hinted over the past days by the President and members of his Administration, you'd best think again. What grabbed headlines last week, as the pathetic George W. Bush stuttered about 'changing tactics' and 'adapting' to new realities, was nothing but a last-ditch public relations job launched by a desperate White House, in hopes of hanging on to power in upcoming mid-term elections.

Cheney Pushing Israel Towards Fascism
by Dean Andromidas
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has sealed an agreement to bring into his government Israel's answer to Benito Mussolini. This new partner, Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the right-wing Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Is Our Home) Party, has called for 'transferring' Arab Israelis out of Israel, and bombing both Cairo and Tehran.

'Leveraged Debt' Crisis Menaces Banks, Pensions, Auto Plants
by Paul Gallagher
October was filled with a steady drumbeat of warnings—in muted form from various regulatory agencies, and openly in the financial press—about rapidly increasing 'leveraged debt takeovers' by hedge funds and private equity funds, and the potential for 'leveraged defaults'—that is, financial blowouts—resulting from the failure of these funds and their takeover targets.

China Maps Out Next Five Years in Space
by Marsha Freeman
The most closely watched space program in the world today is that being carried out by the People's Republic of China. For decades, China's activities were largely an internal project, with little information available outside the country, leaving ample room for speculation.

Pennsylvania Train Is Electrified, But Congress Stalls
by Mary Jane Freeman
Electrified high-speed rail service, travelling between 90 and 110 mph, begins on Oct. 30 in the 104-mile Philadelphia-toHarrisburg Keystone (rail) Corridor. Not yet at 150 or 300 mph, as in Europe or Asia, this will be the first electrified high-speed rail service established outside of the Northeast Corridor's Boston to Washington, D.C. route. This milestone, however, should have been realized decades ago, just as ten other designated high-speed corridors in the United States also should have been upgraded and built out.

Court Tells Berlin: 'Hold a Yard Sale'
by Rainer Apel
On Oct. 19, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled against the Berlin city-state administration's request for extra governmental funding, denying that there was a 'budget emergency' in the city, and pointing, instead, to 'untapped potential for extra revenues from additional privatizations,' particularly in the culture budget and in the municipal housing sector.

Editorial:

The Lynne and Dick Show
In the week leading up to Halloween, Lynne Cheney and her Dick certainly let it all hang out. In a combination of media appearances, the President's immediate controller, and the latter's controller (his wife), made it abundantly clear that they are going to pursue their policy of war and dictatorship, no matter what the cost to the country, and the criticism sent their way.
