LaRouche Webcast: Still Not Too Late for You
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche declared, in a webcast one year ago, that the collapse of the global financial system was not “about to occur,” but was, in fact, ongoing. Now, a year later, he told a Washington webcast audience on July 22 that we are not facing a depression, but a general breakdown crisis. He emphasized that “the present international monetary-financial system will die, and will never recover. This system is finished,” and “the only possibility that exists now, is to create a replacement system, based on the principles of the founding of the U.S. economic system, with the founding of the actual Constitutional government, as defined under, particularly, Alexander Hamilton.” LaRouche called for three specific remedies, which are not cures to the problem, but without which “there’s no future for the United States and no future for the world.” We publish the full text of the webcast, including the extensive discussion period.

Obama the Soufflé—or the Gullibility of the German Masses
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Helga Zepp-LaRouche writes that Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin showed him not only to be of little substance, but to have policies nearly indistinguishable from those of the Bush-Cheney Administration. But even more disquieting, is the German masses’ continued susceptibility to “charismatic leaders.”
