To Restore Glass-Steagall: Dump Barney Frank Now!  

by Jeffrey Steinberg

House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank’s lying and sophistry are being exposed by his opponent, LaRouche Democrat Rachel Brown, who has nailed Frank on his key role in the take-down of Glass-Steagall, on behalf of the Boston Brahmin bankers of the “Vault,” and his sabotage of Lyndon LaRouche’s Homeowners and Bank Protection Act. Brown faces Frank in the Massachusetts Democratic primary on Sept. 14.

LaRouche to Paris Conference: A Global Glass-Steagall as the Basis for Optimism  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon LaRouche addressed the General Assembly in Paris of Solidarité et Progrès, the French political party led by longtime LaRouche associate Jacques Cheminade, on June 13, via electronic hookup. The great mistake, LaRouche said, in most political thinking about economy, is that people tend to think that history is driven by events. But significant events are generated by history, not history by events.

Cheminade is the only candidate to embody the spirit of resistance, exemplified by de Gaulle’s June 1940 “Appeal to the French People,” to resist the Nazi takeover of France.

Who Will Prevent ‘Apocalypse’ in Bankrupt Europe?  

by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

If the European governments continue to submit to the dictates of the EU, and if they keep increasing their sovereign debts with inflationary methods, just to save the gambling banks, and, at the same time, brutally cut the living standards of the poor and near-poor portions of the population, then an “Apocalypse” will threaten us very soon, even as early as July 1.

Ban, Don’t ‘Regulate,’ Derivatives

by John Hoefle

Derivatives have never served any purpose other than as a mechanism by which a bankrupt financial system could pretend to be solvent. Derivatives are, in truth, the biggest pyramid scheme the world has ever seen—and one that has now collapsed.

Isotopes and Life: Considerations for Space Colonization  

by Meghan K. Rouillard

The science-driver policy of colonizing space, which Lyndon LaRouche has declared to be the indispensable mission for advancing mankind, will require many fundamental scientific breakthroughs—indeed, a decisive break from the empiricist so-called science of today. This paper, part of a series being produced by LaRouche’s “Basement Team,” addresses the question of the nature of isotopes from the standpoint of the issues raised in creating an environment on another planet.
