LaRouche Webcast: The End of the Post-FDR Era
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche, in his keynote speech to a July 25 webcast from Washington, D.C., emphasized that the United States and the world face a profound crisis, because Vice President Cheney intends to launch a war against Iran—possibly as early as August. This comes at a time that the world monetary financial system is disintegrating. The monetary system cannot be fixed, but must be replaced, he said, using the approach of Franklin Roosevelt. The only way out of the catastrophe that would be kicked off by a military attack on Iran, is the removal of Cheney, now. If that happens, the situation can be made manageable. Any elected official who won’t do that should resign. Proceedings against Cheney must begin before Congress goes on recess in August. In a wide-ranging discussion with the live audience and those viewing over the Internet, LaRouche fielded questions on war, the economy, and science.
