U.S. Impeachment Mania—Rise Above the Fray

Jan. 13 , 2021 (EIRNS)—This afternoon, the House of Representatives voted up impeachment against President Donald Trump 232 to 197, just seven days before his term ends in any case, and the latest in a string of operations to nullify the U.S. Presidency, involving baseless accusations against Trump of Russiagate, the Mueller Report, racism, impeachment I, and now, impeachment II.

Regarding this latest instance, every hour, more comes out verifying how the “insurrection” that Trump is accused of inciting—in today’s single article of impeachment against him—was in fact a staged affair. It was part of an overall orchestration of events and personalities to whip up a popular frenzy in which “emergency management” can be imposed upon the American people and institutions. This is the nature of what was done in the historic case of the Reichstag fire in 1933, and in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. This is what we are up against now, and can defeat, provided we understand it “from the top,” and take countermeasures from the highest level.

The Big Tech social and regular media companies—an arm of London/Wall Street and intelligence networks—have blatantly moved in to shut down communications of President Trump, and thousands of others. We received a report tonight that a CNN commentator declared after the impeachment and other anti-Trump actions, “We will make Trump disappear, just like we made outlaw Lyndon LaRouche go away.” So much for what they know.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a ringing denunciation of the madness, and lawlessness of the communications crackdown underway in the United States, saying this morning that, “the Statue of Liberty is turning red with anger, because it does not want to be turned into an empty symbol.... Freedom is even in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.” Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald said last evening on Fox News that the Big Tech corporations have “more power than nations.” Others are speaking out.

Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed the whole picture today, in a webcast, “We Are Sitting on a Powder Keg—It’s Not Just Vote Fraud.” Among her points, she stressed that the operations against Trump, the suppression of any proper judicial or Congressional hearings on election irregularities and fraud, and all the rest, are a pretext to crush anyone who would oppose the agenda of the trans-Atlantic establishment, in imposing its green dictatorship Great Reset Initiative. The Wall Street/London half-century of casino economics is over, and their chosen recourse is the Great Reset, which are policies publicly promoted by the World Economic Forum, that will result in mass depopulation.

Zepp-LaRouche said, “I think that the same banks and same big corporations—especially including Silicon Valley, Wall Street, but also the City of London—what these people are aware of, is that their system is completely bankrupt, and they’re now preparing for what they call the Great Reset. This is supposed to be featured big time, with a virtual seminar, starting on the 25th of January. This is supposed to be announced big time from the 25th of January until the 29th. And supposed to reorganize the entire financing system so that only Green finance is allowed. And that’s already started to happen with the major banks.”

It has nothing to do with the environment, which is just an excuse, but is a drastic downgrade of technology and the means to support life.

One of the most outspoken advocates of depopulation, Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb in 1968, just co-authored an article out today calling for lowering “fertility and consumption” by humans, in order to protect the “biocapacity” of the Earth, and saying that one agency which understands that radical action must be taken, is the World Economic Forum.

What is required is a complete shift in policies. The added impetus is the present danger of conflicts flaring up into all-out war. Mike Pompeo, true to form ‘til the last of his tenure at the State Department, is doing everything possible to ignite trouble. Yesterday, he gave a National Press Club briefing on how Iran is the home base for al-Qaeda, and must be penalized.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed how to think about what must be done, speaking of the necessity of

“working together in solving problems to rebuild the United States ... and moving the relations among nations to a completely different paradigm. You have to make up your mind: Do you want to have war with Russia and China and blow up the whole world in a nuclear war, leading to the complete annihilation of the human species? Or do you want to have an approach of a new paradigm, solving problems together.”
