Creating the Trans-Pacific Fusion Economy
The LaRouche PAC “Basement” Science Research Team gave a webcast on Dec. 5 on prospects for high-technology development in the future. This is the presentation by Benjamin Deniston. “What we have focused on in our work with Lyndon LaRouche, on the prospect for this development program to be made a reality,” he said, “is the key role of fusion power as the driver. And to get into that, and some of the related issues, I’m going to discuss the need to develop a new idea of physical economic progress, a concept that I think has been lost to many Americans following the past decades of zero-growth ideology.

The Strategy for the New Year
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“The New Year of 2014 brings with it, the presently, highly possible, even likely, early threat of a global thermonuclear warfare of coincident, but contrary motives, those between the leading, Anglo-Dutch-led imperialist forces of the presently trans-Atlantic-centered alliances, and the contrary, defensively motivated aims of its trans-Pacific-centered opposition.... The most relevant strategic facts of the matter are presently known among, notably, relevant strategists from among the patriots of the United States. What threatens to be lacking, is the effective chorus of those public voices which know, but who have difficulty in delivering an efficient public voice in a timely fashion.”

The Fight for Glass-Steagall in Europe

Will South Sudan Conflict Ignite an Escalation of Genocide in Africa?
by Lawrence K. Freeman
Beyond the death and destruction of this young nation, the most pressing danger is that if this conflict evolves into a full-fledged civil war, the effects will be catastrophically felt far beyond South Sudan.

Without Glass-Steagall, 2014 Will Bring Mass Death to U.S.
by Nancy Spannaus
The record at year’s end: cuts to health-care providers, elimination of “unnecessary” hospital visits; cuts in food stamp benefits for low-income Americans; cut-off of unemployment compensation to 1.3 million long-term unemployed. The old, sick, and poor, are being thrown on the scrap heap—to line Wall Street’s coffers.
Federal Court Reversal: Coverup of Saudi Role in 9/11 Finally Begins To Crumble
by Edward Spannaus
With a Federal Appeals Court ruling, allowing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to be sued for damages over the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the lid is finally coming off the 12-year coverup, perpetuated under both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, regarding what really happened in September 2001.
