June 4—As of this month, the extensive flooding throughout the Missouri River Basin has taken a huge toll on agriculture, and caused destruction across the nine-state region. Losses to crops in this Northern Plains wheatbelt, and Western cornbelt, are now piling on top of the already drastic agriculture damage from flooding in the Lower Mississippi/Ohio Basin, and in drought-stricken Texas and the Southern Plains. This all adds up to a world-scale food supply crisis, given the impact of extreme weather on other grainbelts around the globe, e.g., the drought in France (see below), underscoring the point that there is no bountiful harvest potential elsewhere in the world to ``compensate'' for the sweeping losses in the United States.
In the United States now, because of the extent of ruined fields, delayed planting, and soggy conditions or drought, crop losses are mounting across all the basic grains—corn, rice, and wheat, and also to hay and fodder for cattle. The prospect of high feed costs is a disaster for all livestock. This is a meat supply crisis in the making. Emergency measures are urgent. Where is President Obama in all of this? In London, inside his head. Look at the timing of his Springtime royalty tour in Britain, which he refused to alter, no matter what devastation was hitting at home. Obama left Washington on May 22—the evening of the Joplin tornado, and did not return until late May 28.... |

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
Feature
International
- The June Death-Rattle of the British Empire's Eurozone
The Inter-Alpha Group bankers are terrified, and demanding fascism. European Central Bank head Jean-Claude Trichet 'suggests' that if countries refuse to go along with the bankers' policies, the EU Council should be given 'a much deeper and authoritative say in the formation of the country's economic policies.'
- Germany's Nuclear Phase-Out Means Deindustrialization and Genocide
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche.
Like lemmings, the German party establishment has plunged into the government's nuclear phase-out and deindustrialization. But if the United States decides to return to the Glass-Steagall standard, the oligarchical control of the world and the power of the 'kleptocratic elites' will come to an end.
National
- LaRouche:
The Deadline for Glass-Steagall Is July 4
On June 1, Lyndon LaRouche laid out an urgent timetable to save the world economy from plunging into a New Dark Age, and for removing President Obama from office: ramming the Glass-Steagall legislation through the U.S. Congress by July 4. There is no room for 'maybe' under the current circumstances of increasingly violent weather, and financialeconomic breakdown, LaRouche argued. We have to get this done now.
Strategy
- China, for Example:
A Certain World Map
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
'The great, world-wide crash of the present monetarist system, is now on. The immediate situation for Europe, were virtually hopeless, unless what might seem sudden and radical changes were adopted in much of the world at large. So, the inherently indigestible, monetarist waste must be neatly cancelled, and a fresh start now promptly launched on the basis of more solid stuff than the present financial fluff.'
- Jonathan Swift's Legacy
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
