Return to the 14th Century:
Rohatyn, Bloomberg Peddle `Post-Nation-State' World
by Jeffrey Steinberg

In A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century (1978), historian Barbara Tuchman catalogued the horrors that destroyed all of Europe, with the bankruptcy collapse of the Lombard banking system, the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War, and the arrival of the ``Black Plague.'' Within a few generations, half of the population of Europe was obliterated, and it took almost a century for Europe to recover....
Yet, today, such leading figures as Synarchist banker Felix Rohatyn, George Shultz, and New York City's billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg, London's favorite son candidate to be installed as President of the United States in January 2009, are a ll working overtime—on behalf of a London that is today's ``new Venice''—to return Europe and the Americas to the 14th-Century nightmare, where nation-states no longer exist, and where warring city-states dominate a greatly depopulated world, all in hock to private financier cartels....

The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism, by Stanislav M. Menshikov
March 23, 2007
—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

Return to the 14th Century:
Rohatyn, Bloomberg Peddle 'Post-Nation-State' World

The leading figures who are working overtime to install London's favorite son, New York City's billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as President of the United States in January 2009, are determined to return Europe and the Americas to the 14th-Century nightmare that they call a 'post-Westphalian' order, where nation-states no longer exist, and where warring city-states dominate a greatly depopulated world, all in hock to private financier cartels.

Abolishing Democracy by Stealth: Constitution for Feudalism in Europe

Helga Zepp-LaRouche shows that the Lisbon Treaty's deliberately impenetrable text is intended to conceal the fact that this treaty portends a fundamental revision of Germany's constitutional system: If enacted, only the Council of the European Union can decide on changes in law on virtually all matters; national parliaments will have no say.

Fascism and the Project For a World Company
The process by which the carcass of the now dead fraud-based financial system decomposes is far less important than the fight over what type of system will replace it. While the financiers seek to have the taxpayers bail them out, the replacement for the defunct system that is being put forward by Bloomberg's backers is a form of Mussolini-style corporatism.

The Aesthetical Education of America
Organizing the population to support the an FDR-style solution to the crisis, faces the challenge of a population whose culture has been degraded since FDR's death. In response, the LaRouche Youth Movement 'basement' team has completed an 80-minute documentary video, entitled 'Firewall: In Defense of the NationState.'

Pakistan's Elections:
Prospects for the Future

President Musharraf was weakened by the elections, because he stuck Pakistan's neck out on behalf of the foreign occupying troops in Afghanistan. It is unlikely that the new power centers in Pakistan, believe that they will have to make a similar commitment to the U.S. and NATO presence there.
