Not Only Socialists Were Duped: The Fraud of ‘Free Trade’
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“This report is prompted by the immediacy of the extremely acute phase of international financial crises now looming for the interval of the U.S.A. national parties’ Presidential nominating conventions. It also has the more durable relevance of being an urgently needed introduction to the little known rudiments of a competent economic science. It serves, thus, as a much needed reeducation of those putatively leading economists, internationally, whose influence on policy-shaping of both governments and international private and public institutions had failed so miserably over the 1971-2008 interval, up to this present moment.”

Maybe, Obama Is Not ‘The One’
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“Senator Obama is not a new Adolf Hitler, of course; but, the way in which London-centered interests steered the training and selection of Adolf Hitler as a prospective leader, during the course of the 1920s, is the best known example of a certain way in which puppet-like synthetic leaders are sometimes created out of persons which would ordinarily appear to be the most unlikely types for playing such a role.”
