| Today is a very special occasion, because, right now, you have two parts of the world which are in a mess: Both flank the Atlantic Ocean: on the Eastern Coast of the United States and the United States as a whole, and in Western Europe, from approximately Belarus going westward, there is not much civilization left.
Look, let's start right off with this map, which will be our centerpiece of the discussion today, which I'll refer to a few times. Now, what I've done, is to get a conception of what the problem is we face, the real problem—that is, the physical problem, as opposed to the psychological problem, or the physical effects of the psychological problem. The red is the area in which the emphasis, today, is on high technology, typified by the promotion of the space program, and by nuclear power, and going to thermonuclear power. That's the predominant policy, looking from across the Pacific, from North America, across the Pacific into Asia; what you see, is you see progress, and this includes Russia and the countries of Asia, south of Russia, as a whole. But in Russia, the basic driver for Russia's future lies not on the European border (though there's a larger concentration on the European border), but lies in Siberia....

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." |

This Week's Cover
- LaRouche Webcast:
The End of the Obama Administration
Lyndon LaRouche addressed an audience in Northern Virginia in a Jan. 30 webcast, emphasizing that President Obama has got to go. 'We must have Obama removed from the Presidency,' he said. 'We don't have to remove everybody in the Presidential team; we just simply take out Obama, and those people who are prototypes, the so-called behaviorists. We have to get rid of Bernanke. We have to get rid of Geithner
... Go! Scat!' LaRouche reviewed a world map to show that the center of dynamism and progress has moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Europe and the Western Hemisphere are dominated by 'green' insanity, monetarism, and drug trafficking. The British have destroyed the sovereignty of European nations, and are using Obama to do the same to the United States. But Russia, China, and India are still interested in the future. Let's get the U.S. to join them, in a Four-Power alliance to defeat the British Empire!
Economics
- The Emperor's New Statistics
The statistics keep improving, while the economy keeps getting worse. Take, for example, the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement of a 5.7% rise in GDP in the fourth quarter of 2009.
- Geithner, Bernanke Exposed, Targeted for Crimes on AIG
Treasury Secretary Geithner's blatant lying under oath was too much for some Congressmen, who demanded his resignation. The evidence is overwhelming that the New York Fed, while Geithner headed it, bailed out AIG and then tried to cover it up. Fed Chairman Bernanke was complicit. Yet the latter was confirmed by the Senate for another term, and the former is still at his post—for now.
