LaRouche: The Mass Strike Can Defeat the British Empire
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche was the keynote speaker at an EIR seminar in Frankfurt, Germany on June 10, on “The Task at Hand: A Glass-Steagall System and Return to Sovereign Economic Policy.” What would a U.S. return to a Glass-Steagall standard mean for Europe? LaRouche explained: “Every bank, in every European country, has to go through the same cleaning at the laundry.... We must save institutions, including banking institutions, which are valid, make sure they don’t fold up, too.
“Okay, now what you do, is you cancel all the illegal, or stinking, or false kinds of financial claims. Instead of bailing out fraudulent financial claims, the national governments, sovereign governments, must now issue credit into the banking system, the purified banking system. You don’t want any more of the burden on, say, European banks, European nations, of this false kind of debt. But most banks today in Europe are bankrupt. How can you save it? You have to support them: How? With Federal credit. State credit.”
