We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“The crisis of the European system, which, nominally, erupted around the current Greek debt situation, was never a Greek crisis as such; it was, rather, a crisis of the entire current European system since the time of Socrates and Plato, a modern crisis whose expression is currently centered, at this present moment, on the Iberian peninsula, not Greece, and a crisis of the international operations of the only nominally Spanish, actually British bank of Santander.

Why President Obama Must Be Impeached
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. and Nancy Spannaus
President Obama’s stated intention, to shut down the NASA program at its root, when added to his Hitler-like health-care policy, and the destructive features of all other leading Obama policies, is one step too far to bear.
