When Democracy Becomes Tyranny:
A Warning to Patriots
by Nancy Spannaus
Aug. 31—Will the United States survive the Presidency of that ``democrat'' Barack Obama? For that matter, will the world survive? Not if current trends, particularly those in the thinking of the currently leading political circles of the United States, continue to reign.
Only look at those travesties called the national political party conventions, to see the horrifying degeneration of a culture in which would-be political leaders pander to an increasingly ignorant, cowardly population which is ready to accept dictatorship. We have to admit that the current trends run very deep. Ever since the days of Andrew Jackson, who is still much viewed as the virtual ``patron saint'' of the Democratic Party and, in fact, of American populists on the right and the left, the dominant political philosophy has been to pledge allegiance to the creed of democracy, and set this nation on a pathway to destruction. For ``democracy'' is the very antithesis of the concept of the republic upon which this nation was based. The rule of democracies leads directly to the triumph of tyranny.
The American Founding Fathers knew that; Plato knew it; and. it is about time that the the leaders of today's United States learned it—before we go into a disaster that could lead to the disintegration of our nation, and thus our planet.
The irony is this:

- When Democracy Becomes Tyranny:
A Warning to Patriots
Will the United States, even the world, survive the Presidency of that 'democrat' Barack Obama? asks Nancy Spannaus, who reviews the case against 'democracy,' drawing on American and world history, to show that the manipulation of citizens by 'popular opinion,' also known as 'democracy,' is at least as old as ancient Greece, viz, the judicial murder of Socrates by the mob. Today, we have the British imperial puppet Obama, who, like the traitor Andrew Jackson before him, appeals to the 'popular will,' while trampling on the principles embedded in our Constitution.
International
- Joint Chiefs, LPAC Take Lead In Drive To Stop World War
As foolish Democrats were herded into the Convention to renominate Obama, LPAC released a videodocumentary titled 'Unsurvivable,' which presents a frightening but true picture of the threat of thermonuclear war and its consequences, as the centerpiece of a mobilization to defeat those plans. LaRouchePAC's campaign dovetails with the war-avoidance efforts of top military figures in the U.S. as well as Russia and China.
Economics
- Europe's Choice:
A Two-Tier Banking System or World War
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche.
One section of the financial establishment is convinced that only flooding the markets with liquidity will prevent immediate collapse, ensure Obama's re-election. Another section is afraid that the resulting hyperinflation will sink Obama. Either way, without a shift to a Glass-Steagall system, the world is headed toward global war.
- Glass-Steagall Option Raised at Jackson Hole Bankers' Meet
The furious wrangling at this year's Jackson Hole confab, over what to do about the unsalvagable world financial system is nothing new; what is new, is that, for the first time at this internationally followed banking policy conference, there were several strong supporters of restoring FDR's Glass-Steagall Act present. Paul Gallagher reports.
- Russia Prepares To Develop the Arctic as Earth's Next Great Project
by William C. Jones.
The Russian government under President Vladimir Putin has laid out an ambitious program for the development of its extensive Arctic region, in what should be an object of collaboration with the United States, another Arctic nation.
