The Old Economics Is Dead, the New Economics Must Begin
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
A webcast by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 11. “What we’re going to have to do,” he said, “is what the Congress, in general presently, hasn’t the slightest intention of doing. But it must be done, if the nation and civilization are to survive. There is no force outside the United States, which has the intellectual capability and influence to do what must be done, in reorganizing an international monetary-financial system and economic system, which is bankrupt beyond repair. The world will not continue as a civilized world under the present international monetary-financial system, and the prevalent policies which have evolved in the world, as from the United States and elsewhere, over a period from about 1970 to the present time.”

by William Jones

British Arc of Crisis Extended to Africa
by Douglas DeGroot
The military offensive by Ethiopian troops in Somalia, plus the U.S. airstrikes in Somalia, and the presence of U.S. troops there, demonstrate that Vice President Dick Cheney and his neo-con cabal are intent on expanding the British-designed crusade against Islam by instigating a war in the Horn of Africa.
