2014 CRC Ukraine Special Report

Letter of Transmittal

February 6, 2014

At this very moment, the world stands on the brink of potential thermonuclear extinction. This does not mean that civilization is doomed. It does mean that we are very close to a strategic confrontation between the United States and some NATO allies on the one side, and Russia and China on the other. The one and only source of the war danger is the desperation among factions in London, which would rather see the world wiped out, than face the loss of global financial power. This desperate City of London-centered financial oligarchy, and its Wall Street appendage, operate through the vast—yet often underestimated—powers of the British monarchy, whose stated intention is to reduce the world’s human population from currently seven billions persons, to less than one billion. There is presently a chasm, a fundamental difference in future perspectives, between the trans-Atlantic region of the world and the Eurasian region of the world: The former has abandoned the scientific and technological optimism so characteristic of the Kennedy era, in order to embrace “greenism”, an oligarchical unscientific creation that will deliver a future fueled by “soft energy” sources, whose low energy flux density will inevitably result in a rapid depopulation of the planet. That trans-Atlantic region’s economic future looks very bleak under the present policies, as the financial oligarchy moves to extend, to every nation within that region, their “Greek model”, where the European Troika has now imposed a banker’s dictatorship that has enslaved every man, woman and child of that once proud and ancient nation, that had been the birthplace of Western democracies! The Eurasian sector, with all its imperfections, is nonetheless presently Committee for the Republic of Canada / strongly committed to economic growth and scientific and technological Comité pour la République du Canada achievement. Nuclear energy is being expanded throughout that region and, as exemplified by the recent Chinese rover landing on the Moon, whose primary scientific task is to explore the possibility of future mining on the Moon of the www.committeerepubliccanada.ca helium-3 gas, that would serve as the primary fuel source of future fusion enwww.comiterepubliquecanada.ca ergy reactors, thereby accelerating both the scientific and economic feasibility of fusion energy for the nations of the world. www.facebook.com/crclarouche (514) 461-1557

The Immediate Danger

(514) 461- 7209

In the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) fact sheet on Ukraine, an important and timely featured item included in this Special Report, we warn that the Ukrainian developments could become the flashpoint for triggering World War III.

We quote from the opening paragraphs of that report here: Western nations, led by the European Union and the Obama Administration, 2

are backing an outright neo-Nazi regime-change coup in Ukraine. If the effort succeeds, the consequences will extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine and neighboring states. For Russia, such a coup would constitute a casus belli, coming as it does in the context of NATO missile defense expansion into Central Europe and the evolution of a U.S.-NATO doctrine of "Prompt Global Strike," which presumes that the United States can launch a preemptive first strike against Russia and China and survive the retaliation. The events in Ukraine constitute a potential trigger for a global war that could rapidly and easily escalate to a thermonuclear war of extinction. At this weekend's Munich Security Conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a heated public exchange with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in which the latter accused Russia of "bellicose rhetoric" and Lavrov responded by citing the European missile defense program as an attempt to secure a nuclear first-strike capability against Russia. In his formal remarks at Munich and a week earlier at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Lavrov also assailed Western governments for supporting neo-Nazi terrorist organizations in their zeal to place Ukraine under European Union and Troika control to tighten the NATO noose around Russia.

The Urgent War Avoidance Measures: Our Special Report urges the appropriate governments to deal with the two immediate measures which would greatly diminish the threat of thermonuclear war: 1) The removal of President Barack Obama from the Presidency, either through a formal impeachment process, or through the application of the 25th. Amendment to the United States Constitution or simply by a Nixonstyle forced resignation. 2) The voting up in the immediate period of a coordinated global Glass-Steagall-type legislation in the major Parliaments of the trans-Atlantic region, thereby putting in orderly bankruptcy the City of London and its Wall Street appendage and opening up the possibility of replacing the present bankrupt world monetary system with a new world economic system based on the principles of Alexander Hamilton’s National Bank for productive public credit. 3) Such a Hamiltonian world credit system would then permit worthwhile national and continental great infrastructure projects to get built over the one or two decades necessary for completion, therefore building the bridges towards peace based on the leitmotiv of the encyclical Populorium Progressio that the new name for peace is development. 4) Finally, the long-term harmony of interest of all human beings is to get sovereign nations to work towards the common aims of Mankind and that would certainly put space cooperation at the top of the list, not only for defence against incoming asteroids, as proposed by Russia’s present leadership, but in order to reach, within this Century, a true Age of Reason for Mankind based on Mankind’s mastery of space and the exploration of near earth planets and eventually the Solar System and beyond.

Prelude What Must be Understood LaRouche’s Opening Remarks to his January 3, 2014 International Webcast:

On the Measures Needed to Stop World War

The NATO ABM system encircling Russia (conjoined with the USA-led system around China) features the greatest threat now confronting humanity. 5

LaRouche on the Measures Needed to Stop World War III On January 3, 2014, Lyndon LaRouche and Matt Ogden engaged in a dialogue concerning the deadly potential for thermonuclear confrontation in 2014 –that dialogue represents a revolution in thinking through, and acting to prevent, the potential war of extinction now facing humanity. The LaRouche/Ogden webcast dialogue completely and clearly exposes the underlying historical causes of the present U.S./ Trans-Atlantic breakdown, the means to reverse it, and the actual means to stop the outbreak of war. LaRouche’s following opening remarks were spurned on by a question on the destruction of the American labour force which is now touching 25% in real unemployment figures. The questioner asked LaRouche about his analysis of the U.S. economy under the remaining time of Obama’s term in office and asked how a solution to the crisis could be arranged. The Full webcast may be viewed here: www.larouchepac.com/node/29427

LaRouche replies... There will never be a survival of the United States within the nominal term of Obama's Presidency. What you have, is you have many people—for example, probably 60% of the voters in the United States are opposed to Obama, and wish he would go away. The problem is, they're terrified. And Snowden's case tells you partly a good illustration of what the fear is. So, therefore, they hate Obama. But many people hated Hitler— and remember that. The ability of Hitler to do what he did, did not depend upon the issue of a majority of what people thought they wanted to see. They gave in to Hitler, under a reign of terror, and the history of that is well-known to some of us, even of your age. So, therefore we have to eliminate all these cheerful things, and trying to put a cheerful note, and talk about a possible solution. There is, and are solutions, but none of them are being put forthcoming, now. You have something in Germany which may tend to be a breakout. What's the situation? We're not going to have, under Obama, continued under the present policy, Obama will not be the President of the United States. He is on the end of this thing. He's unimportant! This is not an election campaign. The election campaign was made a long 6

time ago, when people came in with the green policy. It came in, actually, with the ouster of Bismarck, because when Bismarck was kicked out, from that moment on the world in general, especially the trans-Atlantic region, has been engaged in off-again, on-again continuation of world war. That's what the truth has been. Just think of the history. Very shortly: How do wars start? Well, the war that we're talking about started with the assassination of the President of France. Then it came to another one. And then you had the war involving China, Japan, and so forth. It kept coming, and coming, and coming. And then, in 1914, the Guns of August, we had aworld war. But it didn't end there! There was a peace of a certain kind; it wastemporary. The United States shot back, with President Kennedy, later, as they had done earlier, but all these things didn't stop.

Atlantic region. Now, the trans-Atlantic as a whole is now in a process of accelerated rates of degeneration. The United States is now economically hopelessly and socially degenerating, and the rate of degeneration is going to accelerate. Everything you thought was bad in recent experience is going to become much worse, and very quickly. It could become very quickly.

President Kennedy and Elenor Roosevelt in 1961

For example, Kennedy's success, boosted by Eleanor Roosevelt, actually turned the tide in a certain direction. When the tide began to turn, they killed him! They murdered him! and tried to cover up the assassination, and did fairly successfully. What happened then? On the successful execution of President Kennedy, we had a war start in Indochina. For the first couple of years, it was considered a war. After that, it was a called a drug orgy. And the drug orgy then took over the United States. And if you want to take from the time that Kennedy was assassinated, within that very period, since that time, the United States and its population has been degenerating intellectually and morally. And that's the present condition today.

Now, in the meantime you've got war looking around. You have a line-up of powers. First of all, you have the trans-Atlantic region is the concentration of one side of a world power. The core of that thing is the British Empire, the Anglo-Dutch Empire, headed up nominally by the Queen. The Queen's intention has been—as she has made public since the Copenhagen conference—her intention has been to reduce the human population from 7 billion persons, which it had been approaching just recently, is now in a process of accelerated rate of decline. And in the case of the United States, in the case of most countries in western and central Europe, most countries, most of this world is accelerating: it's dying. Portugal, Spain. France is now in the process of collapsing, degenerating. It's going, too. Southern Italy. The Greek population. The only part of the western European, or western and central European part which has an option in that region, is Germany, and they're fussing around on that issue right now. Germany is inclined to disengage itself from the rest of western Europe, because the rest of western Europe is dying—expect for

Now, this condition is leading to what? What's on the table now? Genoci de: poss ibl y human extinction within a matter— it could come in a matter of weeks now, or it could come in a longer period of time. We're on the edge of a thermonuclear war. Now, a thermonuclear war is nothing to compare with what had happened in the earlier wars— World War I, World War II. These were minor events compared to what's about to happen right now. And it's being pushed. Look at the line-up! You have the trans7

eration, milking the Sun regularly to get more Helium-3, and using that, which is an equivalent of what we've wanted to do here on Earth.

the Anglo-Dutch region, which ain't doing too good in terms of their economy there. All right, now you've got another part of the world. Let's call it the Eurasian part of the world. We have to call it Eurasian because it includes Russia and nations associated with it. And it goes all the way to the Pacific Ocean. This is the Eurasian part of the world. The Eurasian part of the world, except for certain areas that we know about in the Near East and so forth, and from the Uyghurs and people like that, the entirety of this Eurasian region, as an entirety, with the dominant forces within it, is actually on the way up. It has been increasing its technological power and capabilities. The Moon landing! Now, we've discussed that here, and in our own discussions in other places. The Moon landing, the latest one, goes to the question of Helium-3: thermonuclear fusion. And that means that suddenly we have a major power, China, which has a major capability, which is not merely a tickle of the type the United States did on the Moon before. This is a really serious business. They set up an operation, for an extended operation into space, and for other kinds of things. And they are working what had been known before as a Helium-3 potential of the Moon. If they exploit the Helium-3 in the Moon, suddenly China and nations cooperating with it are going to have a source of power available to them which would be a revolution—a planetary revolution. On that basis, mankind would get its feet out of the ditches of Earth itself. Because once you do that, once you go to a Helium-3 op8

If we do that, then you have a source for high-speed— really high-speed, relative to anything we've done now—to moving around inside the area of the Solar System where we're close to, such as Mars. I mean, the area with Mars and so forth, that area becomes open to us. Then the natural tendency, the natural ability of mankind, as our potential, will now begin to take over, not just sitting on Earth and grunting and groaning about what's going on, but actually mankind not living out of Earth, but actually controlling things out of Earth, such as some of these asteroids. And we will use them—we'll not only defense ourselves against them, we'll use them. So, therefore mankind will be moving off the surface of the Earth, not where he lives—though some of that may occur—but in terms of what mankind is able to reach and control, and develop for the benefit of mankind. And also we'll begin to get more worried about building up the Solar System. We'll begin to think about the longterm question of: Can we maintain the Solar System, which has been in a long period ofdecline over the recent times? Mars has collapsed because the Sun was running down. That's why it collapsed. The Moon collapsed; it has been collapsing, because the Sun was running down. So, therefore, our developing—not only utilizing, but developing—these resources like Helium-3 into a higher form of organization, mankind will become able, or enable if he chooses to do so, to actually take action against the continuing decline of a Sun which about to go dead in about 2 billion years, or something like that, and then go into an explosion which ends everything. So, therefore we have before us, we have to have a different perspective than the poor idiots who are whimpering and whining about this and that. Because this is where we're going. Now, in this context, what's the military situation? The trans-Atlantic region is building up for a war, a thermonuclear war in the early future. The intention of that war, as the Queen of England's actions since Denmark and subsequently, is committed to the accelerated extermination of the human population to the degree of probably 1 billion people might be lucky to survive—

or unlucky enough to survive under those conditions. So, therefore, the option— The whole process here, look at it! What is the hatred against human beings? What's the nature of it? What's the expression of that? It's the green policy! This was done by the Roman Empire and other forms of these kinds of people: to reduce the population, that is, to have a small oligarchy which dominates the planet, or parts of the planet, and kill off the excess population, which is the rest of the people. This is what the Queen's policy is, and that is what she says it is. So, who's the key? Well, the key of this is the AngloDutch system. The center of this whole operation that I just talked about, is the Anglo-Dutch initiative, which is really an empire which dominates—directly and indirectly combined—dominates the world, not only in its physical practice, but in its cultural extension: the green policy. How many greenies are there in the United States and in Europe? They're all brainwashed. They're condemned to extinction by the things they believe. This is what happened to the Roman Empire. The Roman oligarchy got tired of trying to feed all these people, and began mass-killing them with experiments like in the arenas, and in the killing of the Christians. The masskilling of the Christians was largely an extinction process. And then Rome as such collapsed; the Roman Empire collapsed upon itself. The remnants exist, and the wealthy Romans picked up their property, their jewels and so forth, moved up to the northern part of the Adri-

atic, sat around there in the mud for a while, and then became known as Venetians. Well, this is the new meaning for "Venetian blind," and we have a lot of people who are Venetian blinds in that sense! So, this is what we're up against. We're up against a phenomenon which is not uncommon in human history, and that is in known human history. And the story of Prometheus, as against Zeus, is a real story, it's a true story, but it represents the typification of the kind of policy which we are faced with right now. The determination is, which is centered in expression in the Anglo-Dutch Empire, which is not limited to the British and the Dutch: It's global. Australia! Most of Africa, the Middle East, the Saudi Kingdom, for example. These are all extension of this Empire, which is comparable in its intention to be something like the Roman Empire was. So, we've had, in human history, we've had periods of large-scale extinction caused by an oligarchical tendency in some population, which goes out to kill people in the way that the people of Troy were extinguished. They weren't just killed, they were extinguished! And that's what we're looking at now. Now, go back to the strategic issue again. What's the reality? The greatest power in the world, right now, lies in the Eurasian area. Why? It is growing. There are some parts that aren't growing. But China is growing. Russia is growing—it's reversed its population collapse. Other parts are growing. We now have a coalition emerging in Eurasia, which is not totally unified, but a very powerful part is there. The economy of that area of the world is improving. The policy of the trans-Atlantic region stinks, it's dying, at an accelerating rate. As you know now, after January 1st of this year, that the death rate in this United States is going to accelerate immediately, unless we stop it. That's the key part of the story. But part of the answer to the question that was posed to us is, if we don't have the guts to throw a crooked, evil President out of office to save the United States, that's the problem. Forget all this thing about the coming several years, how things are going to work out. There're not going to be a couple, several years, unless we change things. 9

Now we have, as I say, about 60% of the eligible voters in the United States have a rather strong and increasing inkling toward having this guy go away, in the very near future, that's their desire. But at the same time that this development is occurring, what you have is the process in which the enemy, which includes our President, who's the enemy of the people of the United States, his policies are the enemy of the survival of the United States. Look at his frauds, look at his fraud on his health-care fraud—he's literally killing people en masse, and they're sitting there, whining, but saying, "We have to work with this, we have to live with this guy." And the others are saying, "I hate him." And some are saying, "Let's get rid of him." So that's what the situation is. This is the reality. The idea of trying to explain things by some little explanation, and some source that tells you this fact and that fact—this is nonsense! We're talking of a process which has been long known in the human species, in the human populations, have been engaging in these kinds of things, with an oligarchical movement killing off those who are of lesser power. And that's what's happening again. The Queen has made it plain. Her husband has written it, others have written it; the Greenie movement entirely is part of that. Every

“The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war. ...In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” -Prince Philip of Edinburgh

Greenie that exists, pushing the Green policy, is actually an enemy of the human species, in just exactly that way. And why are we suffering in the United States? The Green policy killed us. The Greenie policy is what poisoned the United States. The people of the United States as they're born are becoming dumber and dumber and dumber, and worse than dumber, generation by generation—we call them successful degenerations. Their education stinks. Education in the schools today in the United States virtually does not exist. There's a certain kind of show, manipulation, and cheap old show. But brain change? Brain development? Mind development? No, it doesn't exist. It's getting worse and worse and worse. And together with that degeneration of our young people in California, for example, with their thumb game—they're insane! They're not just dumb — they are dumb—but their dumbness takes a quality of insanity with this thumb and related business. The education system which produces this thumb-on-thumb is part of the degeneration.

Young people have been so miseducated under an imperial school system such that they don’t believe that there is a difference between mankind and animals. Here, Australian eco-protestors stand10next to a banner that reads “We live in an ecology. Not an economy”

So therefore the problem is, what do we do practically? That's the question. You take all of these considerations which I've summarized. What do we do practically? We've got to reverse the education policy. We've got to reverse the Green policy—we've got to eliminate the Green policy. Without eliminating the Green policy, the United States can't exist. And most of Europe can't exist. Whole nations of Europe are about to disintegrate, disappear

from the map. And how can you stop it? Well, you have one factor. We have a factor in the Eurasian region, including Russia, China, and so forth; a number of powerful nations who are coming together, and forming an aggregation, not as an empire, but as a coalition. Their intention is growth. Their intention is typified by what China did, in landing on the Moon. And when you look a little closer at what is included in the features of that landing, you see here's a nation which has picked up on something as a mission, which could be the salvation of the United States, if we would join in it. There is no good reason for a war at this time in the world, no good reason. If you think the thermonuclear and related power, which can be assembled for a war of nearly most of the world, when you think of in terms of the thermonuclear and related capabilities, of military forces of the opposing forces from the trans-Atlantic and the Eurasian area, the possibility of extinction of the human species is sitting right before us. The problem here is—what's the problem? We have people who are like the poor guys, who didn't have the authority. They know they were being, as they say, "screwed," and worse and worse and worse. They know they're losing their jobs, they're losing their health care, they're losing their education, they're losing their relations with everybody. They're being destroyed. They know it, and they hate it, more and more. But what are they doing to act, to free themselves of that problem? And that's what's lacking. Now what happens is, what's a typical person say, that knows this, that hates these guys, increasingly, but really doesn't act effectively in any way? What's the problem? "Well, I know you're right, but I'm not going to say anything about it, I'm not going to do anything about it, because I've to take care of myself, my opportunities, my family, and so forth. Therefore, I'm not going to resist, I'm going to protest." And will protesting, under those conditions, stop a thermonuclear war? No. So the problem is, lies essentially with the man in the street in the United States. Because if the United States were to throw this bum, this so-called President, out of office, there would be a change in the ability of the typical citizen, to begin to begin to act to force a change in policy. Now the typical citizen does not want to have a

part of a thermonuclear war. But what he's going to say is, "I hope it doesn't happen." But this has to be made not to happen. And this requires that the people—I know these American people, I'm very familiar with them, over a longer period of time than most of you—and I know them. They have these feelings, a typical American tends to have a generally good tendency somewhere in them, about what they think the future should be. They think in terms of, you know, coming generations. They think that their children should somehow be better off or at least more secure, and have opportunities. And they know all this. And they hate it, because they're accepting that being taken away from them. And from that comes the question of the ability of a small crew of dirty, evil thugs who seized as happened—right after Kennedy's, after the President's death. People caved in, they took it. People who had been at war, who had been warriors in a victorious war, caved in. And we divided the American people against those who were kissing the butt of one class of people, a smaller number, and doing everything against the really vital interest and future interest of the majority of our people. And that's the weakness, because of the corruption which has occurred with bad Presidents of the United States, with drug dealers, and simply with these characters on Wall Street. We tolerate these people, we allow them to subordinate our people, crush them, cheat them, loot them, kill them through the effects of what they do, and we can do nothing for our cause, the cause of the human species, the common interests of the American people in particular. And that's what I say. The greatest danger to us, because I know what the American people could do if they would throw Obama out of office, and that's the only way that I see that the world can survive, avoid a thermonuclear war: If the American people were to throw Obama out of office, given the lack of popularity, estimating maybe running into 60% of our citizens, voting citizens, we could stop this. We would not allow the war to start! And if the United States would not start the war, it couldn't be pulled off! And that, I think, is the only reality to think about on this issue.

Part 1 The Countdown to Nuclear War The Empire Lashes out Fact Sheet: Western Powers Back Neo-Nazi Coup in Ukraine Lavrov Cites the Need To ‘Avoid the Tragedy of World War’ in Munich Security Conference Speech Vitrenko, 28 Other Activists Appeal to UN, EU and USA Not to Back Civil War and Fascist Coup in Ukraine Vitrenko Warned of Neo-Nazi Gangs in April 2013

The Empire Lashes Out by Jeffrey Steinberg Jan. 25—The violent events now unfolding in Kiev, Bangkok, and Cairo cannot be seen as separate and unrelated events. In every case, the hand of the Anglo-Dutch empire is visible, reflecting what Lyndon LaRouche has identified as the growing danger of a global war leading to potential war of thermonuclear extinction. The driving force behind all of these acts of asymmetric warfare is not to be found in the local conditions, per se, rather, it is the desperate and dying forces of the transAtlantic Anglo-Dutch empire who are driving the chaos. The case of Ukraine is exemplary. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, it has been the strategic goal of that empire, centered in the British monarchy, but extending into the Bush and Obama White Houses, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and other controlled assets, to split Ukraine from Russia, and draw it into the European Union as an agricultural feudal satrap. That effort was dealt a stunning blow late last year when President Yanukovych rejected the Eastern Partnership Agreement with the EU, and instead moved to deepen economic and political cooperation with Russia. From that moment on, the British have been driving to overthrow the Yanukovych government and install pro-EU forces. When mass protests fizzled, the British reached back to longtime hooligan networks, including outright fascist gangs and remnants of the wartime pro-Nazi circles which were absorbed into NATO intelligence at the close of World War II through the CIA's Gehlen organization. Now, those rampaging hooligans, allied with pro-

EU factions of the opposition parties, are demanding the ouster of Yanukovych, rejecting an offer over the weekend for a stake in a coalition govermnent. Natalia Vitrenko, a leading Ukrainian political figure, former President candidate, and former member of the National Assembly, denounced the Yanukovych offer of a compromise with the opposition as a dangerous capitulation, and called on the government to stand its ground (see below for a political statement signed by Vitrenko and 28 other political and social organization leaders). The use of terrorism has been the hallmark of recent British operations on the ground in Thailand and Egypt as well, where the ruling parties have refused to cave in to Western demands for unconditional surrender.

Geneva II Sabotage In Geneva last week, a similar scenario played out at the opening of the Geneva II talks to bring an end to the three-year conflict in Syria. At the start of the session, clearly on orders from President Obama and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry put the removal of President Bashar Assad on the table as an unconditional demand. This demand, echoed by British Foreign Secretary William Hague and representatives of the Turkish and French governments, was in contrast to the language of the Geneva I agreement of June 2012, in which the Geneva II negotiations were framed. As the result of this act of sabotage, the outcome of the talks is now in doubt, and the idea of launching American military strikes against the Assad government has now been once again put 13

on the table in an editorial in the Washington Post. President Obama, under extraordinary pressure from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and from the American people, cancelled military strikes in early September 2013, after he had given the order to strike. The order was delayed but never rescinded, and so now, Syria has again become a flashpoint for war. As the result of this, the gains made in the recent P5+1 interim deal with Iran are now also jeopardized. As of Jan. 20, IAEA inspectors arrived in Iran, and verified that the Iranians were in full compliance with the interim agreement. In his appearance last week at the annual World Economic Forum at Davos, President Hassan Rouhani reiterated his pledge that Iran will never seek a nuclear weapon, and that he is prepared to normalize political and economic relations with the rest of the world. Already, Asian diplomats and business leaders have begun to resume trade with Iran following decades of crippling sanctions. Under the sanctions regime, the hardline factions, led by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), had taken over the economy, which largely ran as a black market enterprise, breaking the sanctions and blockades. Rouhani represents forces committed to normalizing Iran's role in the world, and that means stripping the IRGC "mafia" of much of its economic clout. The President is hypersensitive to the fact that a hardline turn in Washington or other Western capitals could give the hardliners the leverage to crush his reform agenda.

Congress Reacts It was in this context that a group of leading members of Congress in Washington joined Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, in putting the kabosh on a new sanctions bill that has been pushed in the Senate. The core issue facing the world as a whole is whether the bankrupt Anglo-Dutch financial system, centered in the trans-Atlantic region, will trigger a global showdown with the nations of Eurasia—notably, Russia, China, and India—the part of the world that is still growing, and has a perspective of future progress. That future orientation is best expressed in China's successful lunar exploration program, including its declared intention to develop the Moon's helium-3 resources to accelerate the 14

transition to a thermonuclear fusion economy in the coming decades. The Anglo-Dutch, on the other hand, face the problem that their system is hopelessly bankrupt. Every lever for global conflict is being pushed to the limit at the same time. As LaRouche has warned, so long as Barack Obama, a certifiable tool of the Anglo-Dutch empire, is in White House, the world remains on the cusp of potential thermonuclear extinction. There are ample reasons for Obama's immediate impeachment, but the overarching reason is that his removal is the only assured path to survival for mankind as a whole. With Obama's finger on the nuclear trigger, the danger in Ukraine, Syria, Iran, and elsewhere is that U.S. actions can become the detonator for a conflict that rapidly draws in all of the world powers in a showdown between the dying trans-Atlantic forces and the still-advancing Eurasian forces. It is the clear understanding of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff that the war danger is real and imminent. This was clearly reflected last week, when JCS chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey met with his Russian counterpart Gen. Valery Gerasimov, and they agreed that even if political and diplomatic crises erupt between the two countries, the military commanders must maintain their cooperation as a war-avoidance factor. While invaluable, such measures are no longer sufficient. Nothing short of Obama's removal by constitutional means and the immediate passage of Glass-Steagall in the U.S., a move that will bankrupt the Anglo-Dutch system, can assure true war prevention at this crucial moment.

Western Powers Back Neo-Nazi Coup in Ukraine By an EIR Research Team Feb. 2, 2014—Western nations, led by the European Union and the Obama Administration, are backing an outright neo-Nazi regime-change coup in Ukraine. If the effort succeeds, the consequences will extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine and neighboring states. For Russia, such a coup would constitute a casus belli, coming as it does in the context of NATO missile defense expansion into Central Europe and the evolution of a U.S.NATO doctrine of "Prompt Global Strike," which presumes that the United States can launch a pre-emptive first strike against Russia and China and survive the retaliation. The events in Ukraine constitute a potential trigger for a global war that could rapidly and easily escalate to a thermonuclear war of extinction. At this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a heated public exchange with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in which the latter accused Russia of "bellicose rhetoric" and Lavrov responded by citing the European missile defense program as an attempt to secure a nuclear first-strike capability against Russia. In his formal remarks at Munich and a week earlier at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Lavrov also assailed Western governments for supporting neoNazi terrorist organizations in their zeal to place Ukraine under European Union and Troika control to tighten the NATO noose around Russia. If anything, Lavrov understated the case.

Nazi Hooligans Take the Lead Ever since President Viktor Yanukovych announced that Ukraine was withdrawing its plans to sign the European Union’s Association Agreement on Nov. 21, 2013, Western-backed organizations made up of remnants of the wartime and immediate postwar Nazi collaborationist

Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and their successors have launched a campaign of provocations aimed at not only at bringing down the government of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, but at overthrowing the democratically elected President Yanukovych. The EU Eastern Partnership was initiated in December 2008 by Carl Bildt and Radek Sikorski, the foreign ministers of Sweden and Poland, in the wake of Georgia’s military showdown with Russia in South Ossetia. The Eastern Partnership targeted six countries that were formerly republics within the Soviet Union : three in the Caucasus region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) and three in East Central Europe (Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine). They were not to be invited to full EU membership, but drawn into an EU vise through so-called Association Agreements, each one centered on a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA). The prime target of the effort was Ukraine. Under the Association Agreement negotiated with Ukraine, but not signed, the industrial economy of Ukraine would have been dismantled, trade with Russia would have been savaged (with Russia ending its free-trade regime with Ukraine, to prevent its own markets from being flooded via Ukraine), and the European markets’ players would have grabbed for Ukraine’s agricultural and raw materials exports. The same deadly austerity regime as has been imposed on the Mediterranean states of Europe under the Troika bailout swindle would have been imposed on Ukraine. Furthermore, the Association Agreement mandated "convergence" on security issues, with integration into European defense systems. Under such an upgraded arrangement, the long-term treaty agreements on the Russian Navy’s use of the crucial Crimean Black Sea ports would have been terminated, ultimately giving NATO forward basing on Russia’s immediate border. While Western news accounts promoted the demonstrations in Kiev’s Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnesti, or Euromaidan as it is now called), as initially peaceful, the fact is that, from the outset, the protests 15

included hardcore avowed neo-Nazis, right-wing "soccer hooligans" and "Afghansy" combat veterans of the wars in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Georgia. According to Ukrainian parliamentarian Oleh Tsaryov, 350 Ukrainians returned to the country from Syria in January 2014, after fighting with the Syrian rebels, including al-Qaeda-linked groups such as the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Already, on the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 1, 2013, rioters were throwing Molotov cocktails and seized the Kiev Mayor’s Office, declaring it a "revolutionary headquarters." Protesters from the opposition Svoboda Party, formerly called the Socialist-Nationalists, march under the red and black flag of Stepan Bandera’s Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), the Nazi collaborators who exterminated Jews and Poles as an adjunct of the Nazi war machine, and in fulfillment of their own radical ideas on ethnic purity, during World War II. The slogan of the Svoboda Party, "Ukraine for the Ukrainians," was Bandera’s battle cry during the OUN-B collaboration with Hitler following the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. It was under that slogan that mass executions and ethnic cleansing were carried out by Bandera’s fascist fighters. Ukrainian sources have reported that the Svoboda Party was conducting paramilitary training during the Summer of 2013—months before President Yanukovych made his decision to reject the EU Association Agreement. The neo-Nazi, racist and anti-semitic character of Svoboda did not deter Western diplomats—including U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland—from publicly meeting with the party’s leader Oleh Tyahnybok, who had been kicked out of the Our Ukraine movement in 2004 for his speeches railing against "Muscovites and Jews"—using offensive, derogatory names for both.

The neo-Nazi resurgence leading the revolt n Ukraine has gained the support of western powers. Here Svoboda youth rally with a picture of Hitler’s key Ukrainian collaborator Stephan Bandera, who was made a national hero by former Ukrainian President Yushchenko.

The Bandera fascist revival has been underway in plain sight since the "Orange Revolution" of 2004, when Viktor Yushchenko was installed as President of Ukraine through a foreign-backed street campaign heavily financed by George Soros’s International Renaissance Foundation and more than 2,000 other non-governmental organizations from Europe and America, after he had been officially declared the loser in a tight presidential contest with Viktor Yanukovych. On Jan. 22, 2010, one of Yushchenko’s last acts as President, after losing his reelection bid to Yanukovych by a wide margin, was to name Stepan Bandera a Hero of Ukraine, which is a high state honor. Yushchenko’s second wife, Kateryna Chumachenko, was herself a member of the youth group of the Banderist OUN-B in Chicago, where she was born, according to news accounts. In the 1980s, Chumachenko headed the Washington offices of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (in which OUN-B influence was great at that time, according to the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine) and the National Captive Nations Committee, before moving over to the State Department Bureau for Human Kateryna Chumachenko leading a Rights.

In January 2011, President Yanukovych announced that Bandera’s Hero of Ukraine status had been officially revoked.

The OUN-B : A Bit of History The Bandera OUN-B legacy is critical to understanding the nature of the armed insurrection now unfolding in Ukraine. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists was founded in 1929, and within four years, Bandera was its head. In 1934, Bandera and other OUN leaders were arrested for the assassination of Bronislaw Pieracki, the Polish Minister of Internal Affairs. Bandera was freed from jail in 1938 and immediately entered into negotiations with the German Occupation Headquarters, receiving funds and arranging Abwehr training for 800 of his paramilitary commandos. By the time of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Bandera’s forces consisted of at least 7,000 fighters, organized into "mobile groups" that coordinated with German forces. Bandera received 2.5 million German marks to conduct subversive operations inside the Soviet Union. After he declared an independent Ukrainian state under his direction in 1941, Bandera was arrested and sent to Berlin. But he maintained his Nazi ties and funding, and his "mobile groups" were supplied and given air cover by the Germans throughout the war. In 1943, Bandera’s OUN-B carried out a mass extermination campaign of Poles and Jews, killing an estimated 70,000 civilians during the summer of that year alone. Although Bandera was still running the OUN-B operations out of Berlin, the ethnic cleansing program was run by Mykola Lebed, the chief of the Sluzhba Bespeki, OUN-B’s secret police organization. In May 1941, at an OUN plenary in Krakow, the organization issued a document, "Struggle and Action of OUN During the War," which stated, in part, "Moskali, Poles, Jews are hostile to us and must be exterminated in this struggle." ("Moskal" is derogatory Ukrainian slang for "Muscovites," or Russians.)

Mykola Lebed

With the defeat of the Nazis and the end of the war on the European front, Bandera and many leaders of the OUN-B

wound up in displaced person camps in Germany and Central Europe. According to Stephen Dorrill in his authoritative history of MI6, MI6 : Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Bandera was recruited to work for MI6 in April 1948. The link to the British was arranged by Gerhard von Mende, a former top Nazi who had headed the Caucasus DiviGerard von Mende sion of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (Ostministerium). Von Mende recruited Muslims from the Caucasus and Central Asia to fight with the Nazis during the invasion of the Soviet Union. At the close of World War II, he worked for the British through a front company, Research Service on Eastern Europe, which was a recruiting agency for principally Muslim insurgents operating inside the Soviet Union. Von Mende was instrumental in establishing a major hub of Muslim Brotherhood operations in Munich and Geneva. Through von Mende, MI6 trained agents from the OUN-B and dropped them inside the Soviet Union to carry out sabotage and assassination operations between 1949 and 1950. A 1954 MI6 report praised Bandera as "a professional underground worker with a terrorist background and ruthless notions about the rules of the game." In March 1956, Bandera went to work for the German equivalent of the CIA, the BND, then headed by Gen. Reinhardt Gehlen, the head of German military intelligence on the Eastern Front during World War II. Again, von Mende was one of his sponsors and protectors. In 1959, Bandera was assassinated by the KGB in West Germany. Bandera’s top OUN-B killer, Mykola Lebed, the on-site commander of the group’s secret police, fared even better at the close of World War II. Lebed was recruited by the U.S. Army’s Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) in December 1946, and by 1948, was on the CIA payroll. Lebed recruited those OUN-B agents who did not go with Bandera and MI6, and participated in a number of sabotage programs behind the Iron Curtain, including "Operation Cartel" and "Operation Aerodynamics." Lebed was brought to New York City, where he established a CIA 17

front company, Prolog Research Corporation, under the control of Frank Wisner, who was the head of the CIA s Directorate of Plans during the 1950s. Prolog operated well into the 1990s, getting a big boost when Zbigniew Brzezinski was President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor.

Crimes Tribunal at Nuremburg, where the Hitlerite Nazis and their henchmen were convicted ? Have human rights ceased to be a value for the countries of the EU and the world community ? Is the Ukrainian nationalists’ devotion to Hitler and his mass murders of civilians now considered democracy ?"

In 1985, the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into Lebed’s role in the wartime genocide in Poland and Western Ukraine, but the CIA blocked the probe and it was eventually dropped. Nevertheless, in 2010, after the release of thousands of pages of wartime records, the National Archives published a documentary report, Hitler’s Shadow : Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War, by Richard Breitman and Norman Goda, which included a detailed account of Bandera’s and Lebed’s wartime Nazi collusion and involvement in mass executions of Jews and Poles.

Only in the recent days, with scenes of mass violence by armed protesters finally breaking through the propaganda fog, has the Western media taken up the neo-Nazi character of the ongoing destabilization. Time magazine, on Jan. 28, headlined its coverage from Kiev "RightWing Thugs Are Hijacking Ukraine’s Liberal Uprising," profiling one group of neo-Nazi hooligans called Spilna Sprava ("Common Cause," but the Ukrainian initials spell "SS"), as being near the center of the protests.

It is this Bandera-Lebed legacy, and the networks spawned in the postwar period, which are at the center of the current events in Ukraine.

Speaking Out On Jan. 25, 2014, twenty-nine Ukrainian leaders of political parties, civic and religious organizations, including former presidential candidate and parliamentarian Natalia Vitrenko, sent an open letter to the United Nations Secretary General and leaders of the EU and the United States, decrying the Western support for the neo-Nazi campaign to carry out a bloody coup against a legitimately elected government. The open letter read, in part : "You should understand that, in supporting the actions of the guerillas in Ukraine ... you yourselves are directly protecting, inciting, and egging on Ukrainian neo-Nazis and neo-fascists. "None of these oppositionists (Yatsenyuk, Klitschko, and Tyahnybok) hide that they are continuing the ideology and the practices of the OUN-UPA.... Wherever the Euromaidan people go in Ukraine, they disseminate, besides the slogans mentioned above, neo-Nazi, racist symbols.... Also confirming the neo-Nazi nature of the Euromaidan is the constant use of portraits of the bloody executioners of our people, Bandera and Shukhevych— agents of the Abwehr." The open letter posed the question to Western leaders: "Have the UN, the EU, and the U.S.A. ceased to recognize the Charter and Verdict of the International War 18

The next day, Jan. 29, the Guardian headlined "In Ukraine, Fascists, Oligarchs and Western Expansion Are at the Heart of the Crisis," with the kicker : "The story we’re told about the protests gripping Kiev bears only the sketchiest relationship with reality." Guardian reporter Seumas Milne candidly wrote, "You’d never know from most of the reporting that far-right nationalists and fascists have been at the heart of the protests and attacks on government buildings. One of the three main opposition parties heading the campaign is the hard-right antiSemitic Svoboda, whose leader Oleh Tyahnybok claims that a ’Moscow-Jewish mafia’ controls Ukraine. The party, now running the city of Lviv, led a 15,000-strong torch-lit march earlier this month in memory of the Ukrainian fascist leader Stepan Bandera, whose forces fought with the Nazis in the second world war and took part in massacres of Jews." Counterpunch also published a Jan. 29 article by Eric Draitser, "Ukraine and the Rebirth of Fascism," which began with the warning : "The violence on the streets of Ukraine is far more than an expression of popular anger against a government. Instead, it is merely the latest example of the rise of the most insidious form of fascism that Europe has seen since the fall of the Third Reich.... In an attempt to pry Ukraine out of the Russian sphere of influence, the U.S.-EU-NATO alliance has, not for the first time, allied itself with fascists."

Lavrov Cites the Need To Avoid the Tragedy of World War By William F. Wertz 2 February 2014 (LPAC)—Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov began his speech at the Munich Security Conference today on the necessity of preventing a repeat of the tragedy of world war. His remarks were made on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad. His opening remarks follow: "It is impossible to overlook the symbolism of the date of today’s meeting. 70 years ago one of the most difficult, bloody, and crucial battles of World War II the battle of Stalingrad was over. Hundreds of thousands of my compatriots who gave their lives for this victory on the banks of Volga were not only defending the Motherland, but also fighting for the attainment of universal peace, just as all our allies were doing. "The diplomacy efforts were also aimed at the purpose of not permitting the tragedy of world war to repeat. They resulted in the creation of the United Nations Organization. However, soon afterwards the cold war drew the dividing lines in Europe, putting off the opportunities for building a system of collective security, which is embodied in the UN Charter, for a long time. "I speak of this not to provoke another search for the guilty ones. Stirring up the past is not for credible politicians. As the Russian president Vladimir Putin stressed in December letter to the Federal Assembly, Russia is only going ahead, only into the future. Thats why the meaning of our participation in Munich conference we see above all in trying to find a joint approach to building a security community based on authentic strategic partnership. That is the very aim that was put by the leaders of Euro-Atlantic countries in 2010 at OSCE summits in Astana and Russia-NATO Council in Lisbon. "Certainly, it would be a mistake to state that nothing is done at all for achieving this noble aim. Russia and U.S.A. concluded the START, many-sided cooperation

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

in combating terrorism, narcobusiness, piracy, threats from Afghanistan, is developing. The rejection of cold war era psychology is officially proclaimed. Russia and NATO members declared that they are not seeing each other as enemies. "However, we are not here to shower praises and compliments upon each other, but to understand the ways that need to be coordinated for the successful solving of the remaining problems. With this in view, we all have to admit that not in word but in deed we are still nowhere near the truly collective Euro-Atlantic architecture, which would be based on solid international legal foundation. Still present is a tendency of building relations on military-political affairs in Europe not on the base of principles proclaimed in OSCE and NRC, but by advancing NATO-centric security structure as a single option. "We consider such a narrow-bloc approach to be of no avail and difficult to conceive with the help of objective, rational considerations; it is hardly applicable to building politics in today’s global world, when we share the threats. It is time to take a broad and comprehensive look at the whole complex of relations in Euro-Atlantics and try to define the identity of approaches and the remaining discrepancies between us, including with regard to conflict situations in other parts of the world that influence our mutual security." 19

Lavrov Exposes EU Support for Bloodshed in Ukraine and Syria Moscow cannot see why prominent European politicians choose to not denounce the seizure of administration buildings in Ukraine and attacks on police officers, which definitely does not have to do anything with "democracy," the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said when addressing the Munich Security Conference this morning. "Why is no one condemning those who seize administration buildings, attack policemen and chant racist and antiSemitic slogans? Why are prominent European politicians actually encouraging the moves in question, although in their own countries they immediately clamp down on any encroachments on the letter of the law?" Lavrov said. "How would the European Union react if the Russian government openly supported street riots in London, Paris or Hamburg, and sent its ministers to these cities to encourage the protesters?" he asked. In addition, Lavrov pointed out that in Syria, while some are trying to combat the terrorist organizations al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) through establishing a new association called the Islamic Front, the groups comprising the Islamic Front are similar to those terror groups. At least one was involved, with the al-Nusra Front, in the Adra massacre in Syria, in which dozens of Christians, Druze, and other minorities were

slain, he added. Militants migrate between the Islamic Front, al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant depending on who pays more, Russia therefore has great doubts that the Islamic Front could serve as an alternative to terrorists, Lavrov said. These charges were among the most harshly worded passages in a speech which was otherwise rather reserved and diplomatic, calling on the West to contribute to institutions with Russia, to work constructively with and not against Russia—like the Geneva II meetings on Syria, or the Russian proposal to create cooperation between the Euro-Atlantic part of Europe and the Eurasian part, by 2020. Another passage with a harsher tone was Lavrov’s response to charges made earlier the same morning by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who accused Russia of having a destructive approach on missile defense and NATO expansion ("partnership" program for post-Soviet era). Lavrov said that being an integral part of the U.S. strategic forces, the missile shield built up in Eastern Europe is offensive, therefore one cannot expect Russia to applaud it. It is worth special mention that Lavrov urged the West, particularly the Europeans, to finally learn the lesson from what caused the outbreak of two world wars, and focus on cooperation rather on confrontation instead.

The NATO ABM system encircling Russia (conjoined with the USA-led system around China) features the greatest threat now confronting humanity. This was the core of the fight between NATO Sec. Gen Rasmussen and Lavrov 20

Vitrenko, 28 Other Activists Appeal to UN, EU and USA Not to Back Civil War and Fascist Coup in Ukraine 25 January, 2014 -- Economist Natalia Vitrenko, head of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, is one of 29 signatories to an appeal released by Ukrainian leftist political party and Orthodox social organization leaders. Addressed to the UN Secretary-General and European and American leaders, it is titled "Stop the Guerrillas’ Marauding, Halt the Incitement to Civil War, a Coup, and the Disintegration of the Country!" Here is the statement in full:

Natalia Vitrenko features LaRouche’s Triple Curve collapse function during her bid for President in recent Ukrainian elections

STOP THE GUERRILLAS’ MARAUDING, HALT THE INCITEMENT TO CIVIL WAR, A COUP, AND THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE COUNTRY! Appeal from Ukrainian political parties and public organizations to the UN Secretary-General and the leadership of the EU and the USA January 25, 2014 The political crisis in Ukraine is worsening by the day, taking the country toward fratricidal civil war, the loss of sovereignty, and the disintegration of the state. This is a foreign project to seize Ukraine. It is being implemented against the interests and the demands of our people. It is being carried out unconstitutionally and in violation of international norms and principles, which are based on peaceful action, free elections, freedom of speech, and respect for human rights.

Ukraine to sign an Association Agreement with the EU. We draw your attention to the content of this document, for the sake of which the Parliamentary opposition led people to the Maidan. The heart of the Agreement is the complete loss of Ukraine’s sovereignty through the transfer to supranational agencies (the Council of Association and the Committee on Trade) of decision-making authority, placing them juridically above the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. It has been unconditionally proven that this contradicts the Declaration on the National Sovereignty of Ukraine, the Constitution of Ukraine, and decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. It also contradicts the expression of the will of the people of Ukraine in the referenda of March 17 and December 1, 1991.

Since the international media reports deliberately distorted information about Ukraine, stated by politicians and officials in the EU and the USA, and this is used in support of the illegal actions of the guerrillas, we are obliged to make the following Appeal.

Implementation of the Association Agreement with the EU would indisputably lead to the destruction of the country’s economy, industry, agriculture, service sector, and science.

1. The pretext for organizing the Euromaidan in Kiev was the refusal of the Government and the President of

Signing the Association Agreement with the EU would lead to the total annihilation of state property, which is a 21

property. You should understand that, in supporting the actions of the guerrillas in Ukraine, by according them the status of "Euromaidan activists" who are taking part in so-called peaceful actions, you yourselves are directly protecting, inciting, and egging on Ukrainian neo-Nazis and neo-fascists. None of these oppositionists (Yatsenyuk, Klitschko, and Tyahnybok) hide that they are continuing the ideology and the practices of the OUN -UPA. They punctuate all of their speeches at the Maidan with cries of "Glory to Ukraine — to the Heroes Glory!" This Nazi greeting was adopted by the Ukrainian nationalists in April 1941 (at the Second Assembly of the OUN), and was copied from the analogous slogans of Hitler’s Nazi Party. Leader of the opposition groups, Natali Klitchko has already expressed his dintention to bring Ukraine into NATO. Here, he poses with the NATO logo

competitor of oligarchs in the West. The Association Agreement with the EU would eliminate the national and state sovereignty of Ukraine. Its embedded political convergence mechanism would liquidate political sovereignty as well, drawing Ukraine into the Joint Security and Defense Policy (JSDP). This antiRussian project provides for the expulsion of the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol and Crimea as a whole, and draws Ukraine into the NATO military bloc. The aforementioned arguments confirm that the Agreement on Association of Ukraine with the EU is a project of the West for the takeover and colonization of Ukraine. Its implementation has been assigned to the Parliamentary opposition: the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland), Udar (Punch) of Klitschko, and Svoboda (Freedom) Parties. 2. We deem it necessary to draw your close attention to the nature of the political forces that have organized the Euromaidan and today are conducting combat actions throughout the territory of Ukraine. The terrorists have not only launched bloodletting with law enforcement agencies, but are seizing government buildings, smashing and burning the party offices of their political opponents, and applying mob law against the citizens of Ukraine. This unquestionably threatens the safety and life of citizens, as well as their dignity and the inviolability of their 22

Other regular slogans of the Maidan are "Glory to Ukraine — Death to the Enemies," "Ukraine above All," "Ukraine for Ukrainians," "Stab the Muscovites and Hang the Communists." Wherever the Euromaidan people go in Ukraine, they disseminate, besides the slogans mentioned above, neoNazi, racist symbols such as the Wolf’s Cross — one of the first emblems of Hitler’s NSDAP Party; the Celtic Cross — one of the main neo-Nazi and racist symbols, denoting the superiority of the white race; and the numbers 14 and 88. The 14 refers to fourteen words of the American neo-Nazi David Lane, who was sentenced to 190 years in prison in the state of Indiana, USA, for racist civil rights violations and racketeering; while 88 is an encoded version of "Heil Hitler!" ("h" being the eighth letter of the Latin alphabet). Right Sector, which coordinates the guerrillas, uses the black-and-red flag in all its actions. It is a symbol of the Nazi ideology of "Blood and Soil," which in 1930 was consolidated as a certain sort of national socialist doctrine, which the Hitlerites used to justify their regime after coming to power in 1933. Also confirming the neo-Nazi nature of the Euromaidan is the constant use of portraits of the bloody executioners of our people, Bandera and Shukhevich — agents of the Abwehr under the nicknames "Gray" and "Taras Chuprinka." On January 14 a portrait of Bandera was hung from the Kiev City Hall [occupied by demonstrators], as a provocation. After a scandal ensued, it was removed to the interior of the building. Also diabolical was the march by

be a value for the countries of the EU and the world community? Is the Ukrainian nationalists’ devotion to Hitler and his mass murders of civilians now considered democracy?"

Bandera’s Jan.1 birthday was celebrated by a large march by torchlight in Kiev

Maidan participants with torches through the central streets of Kiev on January 1, Bandera’s birthday. Not only the Kiev Maidan, but also the maidans unfolding in the regions of Ukraine are massively infected with Nazi ideology, and they are using the practices of their predecessors in their actions both against law enforcement agencies and against Ukrainian civilians (including their political opponents). Washington and Brussels are either following the risky course of ignoring the Nazi nature of the Euromaidan, or they are consciously closing their eyes and covering up the fascist ideology of the Parliamentary opposition and the Euromaidan in Ukraine. It is appropriate to ask: "Have the UN, the EU, and the USA ceased to recognize the Charter and Verdict of the International War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremberg, where the Hitlerite Nazis and their henchmen were convicted? Have human rights ceased to

3. The rights of those citizens of Ukraine who condemn Nazism and neo-Nazism, espouse a different ideology, defend the sovereignty of Ukraine, and categorically reject the Association Agreement with the EU, while seeing Ukraine’s integration into the Customs Union as a way out of the crisis, are being trampled on! Representative polling shows that over half the population advocates the integration of Ukraine with Russia and 97 percent are against Nazism. Do the EU and the UN think that the rights of tens of millions of these Ukrainians should not be defended? Do the EU and the UN consider it a standard of democracy, when the so-called self-defense units of the Euromaidan, unconstitutionally and in violation of the norms of international law, kidnap citizens, search them, interrogate them, torture them, and take them off for "sentences" to be carried out? We insist on the inclusion of our representatives in the negotiation process with the President of Ukraine and the Parliamentary opposition, and we ask you to support this demand. We also urgently request that you receive an authorized delegation of the signatories hereof, in order to obtain objective information about what is happening in Ukraine. We, as leaders of Ukrainian political parties and public organizations, express our concern that politicians and officials from the UN, the EU, the USA, and the international community have a distorted perception of the events being organized to bring about a coup d’etat in Ukraine, and are not taking effective measures to stop this fascist coup. We call on the leadership of the UN, the EU, and the USA to immediately condemn the actions of Ukrainian Nazi organizations and, on their own part, to take the necessary measures to prevent a fratricidal civil war in our country. We are sending a copy of this Appeal to the leaders of the member countries of the United Nations Security Council.

Vitrenko Warned of Neo-Nazi Gangs in April 2013 Natalia Vitrenko, Doctor of Economics, leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine and the Eurasian People’s Union of Ukraine, delivered a warning on April 15th, 2013, of the clear and present danger represented by the Neo-Nazi gangs in Ukraine. The presentation was delivered at the post conference seminar, of the April 14th, 2013 Schiller institute conference in Frankfurt Germany.

Dr. Vitrenko's Remarks April 15, 2013 During the two days of the conference and today, we have looked very deeply into the crisis situation, as one of global destruction. But we are not the only ones, we people of reason, who are preparing for the crisis. I am convinced that the strategists of the British Empire are also working on their scenarios and preparing for this collapse. Helga alluded to this in her remarks, referring to the threat of fascism. And the processes under way in Ukraine are not unique; in Latvia, Hungary, Romania, and I’m sure in Greece and Spain, the same thing is going on. The economy has been destroyed, artificially. The oligarchical paradigm has been established, with the drastic impoverishment of the population. And then everything possible is done, to bring neoNazis into the political arena. This is very clear in the example of Ukraine. We had President Kravchuk, and then President Kuchma. They listened to the IMF, they conducted reforms, but they continued to waver between Russia and the West. The West then brought Yushchenko into play. Who was he? His father was in “six different concentration camps” during World War II. Well, that’s patent nonsense, because people did not survive even one concentration camp, never mind six. At the end of the war, he went into the American zone. I believe that from that point on, his father was totally controlled. Then, Yushchenko was assigned a State Department case officer, who was to become his wife. Yushchenko became President not by being elected, but under pressure: Javier

Solana came, others came in, and pressured the Court to make the decision in favor of Yushchenko [in 2004]. In the streets, at that time, we had the color revolution, paid for by George Soros, Berezovsky, et al. Yushchenko becomes President. What is the first thing he does? He essentially rehabilitates all the collaborationists. Monuments begin to be built in Ukraine to Bandera, Sukhevich – to these agents of the Abwehr. In western Ukraine the Nazi movement takes to the streets. We sound the alarm. We understand that this is even against UN resolutions. But Yushchenko, Tymoshenko and Yatsenyuk, the pro-NATO forces, are in power, and they pursue this policy. In the West, they can see that the south and the east of Ukraine are against such a scenario. Then, Washington agrees for Yanukovych to become President. Yanukovych makes his first foreign trip to Brussels, to NATO headquarters. Yanukovych allows the Nazis onto national TV. Within six months, the Nazi party Svoboda wins the elections to the regional parliaments in western Ukraine. At that point our movement came under heavy pressure. We were kept off the air. But the Nazi parties became more powerful. In the 2009 Parliamentary elections, the Nazi party Svoboda entered the Parliament and obtained Parliamentary immunity, substantial state financing, and guaranteed air time. They proceed to hold their covens without any obstacles. They march through the streets with torches and under slogans like “Ukraine over All!” “Ukraine for Ukrainians!” “Glory to Ukraine, Death to the Enemies!” “Stab the Muscovites, Slash the Russians, Hang the Communists!” This a gross violation of the Ukrainian Constitution, because it is incitement to ethnic strife. Nobody does anything about it. Money pours in from the West. For the so-called struggle against corruption alone, NGOs receive $400 million a year from Europe. They start beating up people demonstrating for other causes: antifascists, Orthodox, etc. We had to set up our own selfdefense units to defend our rallies. Several times, already, we have had to make citizens’ arrests of the neo-Nazi 25

thugs and take them to the police station. We would demand that they be prosecuted for impeding our political activity. The police immediately let them go and they have orders from above to do this; that “Europe” would be unhappy with the violation of democracy in Ukraine, if they touch these thugs. The government is doing nothing to stop this. Nazi propaganda is spread openly. Books by [Dmytro] Dontsov, the “Ukrainian Nietzsche,” are openly sold in the Parliament building. Yushchenko, before leaving office, issued a decree that only the nationalists could be considered fighters for Ukraine’s independence. By the logic of this decree, the Red Army were occupiers. Russia was an occupying force. Only the collaborationists are upheld as having defended Ukraine’s independence. I filed suit against this decree by Yushchenko. Yanukovych could have repealed the decree, but he did not. I lost the case at the local level, the appeals court, and the Ukrainian Supreme Court, and am now preparing a complaint to the Supreme Court. My father fought throughout the war, so how could he be an occupier? There have already been films shown on Ukrainian TV about how Ukrainians greeted Hitler with joy, while Stalin was a demon, the Red Army were occupiers. Then there are talk shows around these films, in which young people shout out, “Glory to Ukraine!” The Nazis cultivate soccer fans. There have been several cases during soccer games, when at the 88th minute of the game, a firecracker is set off. This is a code for “HH” or “Heil Hitler!” The International Soccer Association had to penalize the Kiev Dynamo soccer club, forcing them to play a game with no spectators. I wrote a letter of thanks to [ISA President] Michel Platini, for being the only one to raise his voice against Nazism in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Nazis have a headquarters office in Prague. They work directly with those in Poland, the USA, and Great Britain. I understand very well that at any moment, passions could explode in Ukraine and the streets will belong to the Nazis. Yanukovych is a 100% puppet of the West. His father was in the Polizei. And so it turns out that all the people in power in Ukraine are those who hate Russia. And the fact that our population is dying out, and the fact that we are deprived of the ability to live together with our blood brothers of Belarus and Russia, doesn’t bother them at all. They constantly go running to the U.S. Embassy. There26

fore, what happens in the world will happen, and it will happen inclusively in Ukraine, as the formation of a Nazi state. And I think that a Nazi state in Ukraine is a danger for the whole world. (Translated from recording of remarks in Russian.)

The British Coup vs. Clinton Brought U.S. to Edge of Hell dent Clinton had indicated that he was receptive to this point of view.

By an EIR Research Team From the moment Bill Clinton entered office as the 42nd President of the United States, in January 1993, a new stage of warfare between the British Empire and the American Republic began. Faced with the financial implosion of its system, the British Empire was determined to expand its global looting, and destroy any potential for the U.S. Presidency to take the lead in stymying that policy, by implementing new global measures, best captured in the "The New Bretton Woods" program then being put forward by Lyndon LaRouche [1]. That British policy demanded that the Empire control the U.S. President, in driving a system of economic genocide, and global confrontation against the resistance expected from major powers Russia and China, as well as others.

The EIR cover story of Feb. 6, 1998, warned that “The British monarchy, in league with elements of a vast Anglophile apparatus inside the United States, is running a high-risk, highstakes assault against President Bill Clinton and, more broadly, the institution of the U.S. Presidency, in the midst of the gravest financial and monetary crisis of the twentieth century.” On Dec. 9, the House Judiciary Committee voted up a bill of impeachment against the President.

At the same time, LaRouche, having been imprisoned by the Bush crowd, was putting forward the concrete policies for organizing exactly such a new financial architecture, through promoting new cooperative relationships among the U.S., Russia, and China— relationships which would effectively serve as a basis for leaps in economic development and the avoidance of war. From the earliest days of his administration, Presi[1] March 27, 1998 issue Executive Intelligence Review. Toward a New Bretton Woods by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. www.larouchepub.com/lar/1998/lar_nbw_031898.html

This is the strategic backdrop to the unending campaign of media slanders, assassination attempts, entrapment operations, and finally the impeachment of Clinton in December 1998. At the culmination of the attempted coup— run by British Intelligence and its treasonous assets within the United States, including the Republican Party leadership and British agents-of-influence such as Vice President Al Gore—in 1998-99, a full-scale assault was underway on economic and foreign policy, in which President Clinton expressed his intention to go with a revival of FDR-like policies against the economic and financial collapse, and with close cooperation with Russia and China.

During that 1998-99 period, LaRouche was actively intervening to build support for his New Bretton Woods program, promulgated in 1997-98. It was to prevent that action that the British and their agents played their "Lewinsky card," and bludgeoned President Clinton into submission. One of the crucial, intended results was the repeal of FDR's Glass-Steagall act in November 1999, with the passage of what would appropriately be called the 27

Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Lewinsky bill. Other results included the capitulation of the United States to the Tony Blair policy of preventive war—a shift which began with the lawless assault on Serbia in March 1999, and today leads inexorably toward thermonuclear confrontation with Russia. In other words: One of the most proximate reasons why the world today stands at the brink of thermonuclear war, a meltdown of the trans-Atlantic financial system, and an Obama dictatorship, is the relative success of the British Empire's impeachment operation against President Bill Clinton. The very same players—including notable Republican Party traitors to the United States— are today continuing that operation, under conditions in which the British literally control the Presidency of Barack Obama. To save the United States and the world from a war of extinction today, the British Empire's assault on the Presidency must be understood, and its lessons learned. As LaRouche said in his March 24, 1994 introduction to the mass pamphlet "Assault on the Presidency!", "the global financial crash is now inevitable. It might happen this week next, a year from now. It will happen, and soon.... President Clinton must act according to the precedent set by the first President of the United States, George Washington, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.... We can not permit a pack of hysterical London freaks to destabilize our U.S. Presidency...." That Hamiltonian solution still exists—but the time for realizing it is much, much shorter—perhaps as short as the time it takes to launch thermonuclear Armageddon. The British Buildup The groundwork for the impeachment of Clinton was set up even before he entered office. It included the activation of a wide network of right-wing, allegedly Republican Party networks around the likes of Mellon family scion Richard Mellon-Scaife, who got his start in media operations in London in the early 1970s; he was then a primary funder of the Bush operations in Iran-Contra in the 1980s, and was a known enemy of LaRouche as well. These networks were interfaced with Britishowned publishing outfits such as the Hollinger Corporation, theAmerican Spectator, and others. Joining them 28

were a host of unwashed televangelists dedicated to whipping up fanatical opposition to Clinton's intention to promote Middle East peace, and the pro-war Likudniks in Israel, with the U.S. supporters. Finally, there was Clinton's own Vice President, Al Gore, himself a longtime British asset and comrade of Blair's, buttressed by other so-called Democrats who marched to the tune of London and Wall Street. In addition to the cast of British agents-of-influence, there was one direct British intelligence agent on the scene to drive the process: Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is a second-generation MI6 operative (his father, E.E. Evans -Pritchard, was a top British intelligence "academic," focused on Libya and North Africa), the younger EvansPritchard was deployed to the United States as the Washington bureau chief of theDaily Telegraph (then owned by Canadian Conrad Black), where he launched the media assault on the Clinton Presidency in November of 1993. Not only did Evans-Pritchard publish near daily columns against Clinton, dredging up the Paula Jones and other scandals, he was a direct MI6 liaison to radical "militia" networks throughout the United States who were waging their own campaign of threatened violence and vile slanders against the President. EvansPritchard was a regular source for leaks from the Kenneth Starr Independent Counsel probe of Clinton, and the starting point for a wave of publicity shopped from London, into the mainstream U.S. press. Evans-Pritchard was also a publicly avowed enemy of LaRouche. On April 6, 1994, Democratic Party consultant and combative supporter of President Clinton, James Carville, effectively exposed the game. He invited the Washington, D.C. press corps to a breakfast where he presented a "Media Food Chain" chart (later dubbed by the White House as the "Communications Stream of Conspiracy Commerce"), in which he documented that every single "Clinton scandal" story that had appeared in the American press and media, had first appeared in the British press. As EIR's Debra Freeman reported his presentation in 1998: "First, the story would be published, usually in its most scurrilous and vicious form, in the British press. Then, a

week or two later, the story would come out in the Washington Times, or the American Spectator, or on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Finally, the story's last stop would be under the by-line of some socalled investigative reporter, in the pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, or some other 'authoritative' outlet." (Carville's documentation later was picked up by Hillary Clinton, who, in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer in January 1998, dubbed the apparatus that went after her husband a "vast right-wing conspiracy.")

shown by the Clinton Administration.

In March 1994, LaRouche’s Committee To Reverse the Accelerating Global Economic and Strategic Crisis issued the mass pamphlet, “Assault on the Presidency,” in which LaRouche wrote, “The global financial crash is now inevitable. . . . President Clinton must act according to the precedent set by the first President of the United States, George Washington, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. . . . We can not permit a pack of hysterical London freaks to destabilize our U.S. Presidency. . . .”

On the afternoon of April 6, 1994, there was another press event, this one hosted by LaRouche's Presidential exploratory committee, the Committee To Reverse the Accelerating Global Economic and Strategic Crisis. At that event, LaRouche spokesmen presented the 64-page dossier "Assault on the Presidency," which documented that it was British Intelligence that was behind the creation of the "Whitewater" scandal against President Clinton, as a means of preventing him from taking U.S. policy off the Thatcher-Bush track, and acting in the George Washington/Alexander Hamilton tradition to save the United States and world economy from the inevitable impending crash. The press conference began with a review of how the attacks on the U.S. Presidency, the recent Hebron massacre to derail the Mideast peace talks, and the destabilization of Mexico, were all part of a British attempt to maintain the empire's oligarchical control in a time of financial collapse. Spokesmen stressed how important it was for the British, now without an independent power base, to maintain the "special relationship" with the United States, to keep themselves in power, and how this was threatened by certain independent tendencies

EIR Counterintelligence Editor Jeffrey Steinberg then reviewed the workings of the British media operation which—left, right, and center—launched the scandals against Clinton, emphasizing the role of the Hollinger Corporation. He detailed the history of Hollinger from its origins in the British intelligence front, War Supplies Ltd., and traced its tentacles into the United States, through media outlets run by Iran-Contra financiers such as Richard Mellon-Scaife, and then into the so-called mainstream press.

As EIR later elaborated in a March 1998 video, this conspiracy could not honestly be called "rightwing." Rather, it was a full-blown mobilization of British assets, from Wall Street bankers, to Confederate sympathizers, to the Bush wing of the Republican Party, and the treasonous wing of the Liberal Establishment, epitomized by the Washington Post. The scurrilous lies retailed in the press helped to build a climate of hate against the President, which led to a flurry of assassination attempts and threats, as well as the legal actions that ultimately led to the appointment of Republican Party operative Kenneth Starr as Independent Counsel, and Clinton's impeachment.

The Lewinsky Affair Among the set-up operations to "get" Clinton was the planting of Monica Lewinsky in the White House. In July 1995, Lewinsky, a sexual predator who had a track record of stalking older men in positions of authority, was brought in as an unpaid intern on the staff of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. President Clinton was already, at the time, a target of a Republican Party assault, Starr having been appointed Independent 29

Clinton occurred during 1995 and 1996, it was only at the crucial moment when Clinton was making a major policy shift around the accelerating global financial crisis, two years later, that the plug was pulled—specifically in August-September 1998, when Clinton had denounced the $1.5 trillion-a-day market in short-term currency speculation, and vowed to change the system. He established an international commission to study ways to reform the global financial system, in sync with LaRouche's campaign at the time for just such an overhaul.

British Intelligence agent Ambrose Evans-Pritchard orchestrated a media assault on the Clinton Presidency beginning in November 1993. Evans-Pritchard was a source for leaks from Kenneth Starr’s pornographic charges against Clinton, and an avowed enemy of Lyndon LaRouche. Evans-Pritchard is shown here at the news conference at which LaRouche’s “Assault on the Presidency” dossier was released, April 6, 1994.

Counsel on "Whitewatergate" in August 1994. Lewinsky got into the White House position through family connections. Her mother, Marcia Lewis, was engaged to wealthy New York City media mogul R. Peter Strauss, a top Democratic Party donor who served as director of Voice of America under President Jimmy Carter. A New York real estate executive close to Strauss and Lewis, Walter Kaye, called the White House to secure the post for Lewinsky. At the end of the internship, Lewinsky was hired to a paid position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. Lewinsky's profile as a sexual predator became so obvious, that in April 1996, she was transferred out of the White House to a post at the Pentagon's Public Affairs office, explicitly based on her stalking of President Clinton. It was at the Pentagon that she was picked up by Linda Tripp, a crony of the "Get Clinton" networks, who passed word of Lewinsky's account of her "affair" with the President to Independent Counsel Starr. In reality, Clinton was entrapped, on the basis of his known weakness. Although Lewinsky's contact with 30

To prevent him from implementing a return to American System methods, Clinton was targeted for removal from office by a concert of Wall Street bankers, Likud fanatics, right-wing Republicans, and two top Democrats, Vice President Al Gore and Sen. Joe Lieberman. Had Clinton gone forward with the New Bretton Woods initiative, there would never have been a repeal of GlassSteagall, which was only possible under the conditions of the concerted right-wing Republican/Wall Street assault on the Clinton Presidency. As it happened, the efforts by Wall Street, the Likud, the right wing, and treasonous Democrats like Gore and Lieberman—all British assets—failed to bring down the Clinton Presidency. The initiative launched by Helga Zepp-LaRouche in September 1998, with the Committee To Save the Presidency, beat back those forces, but enough damage was done that we are still paying the strategic consequences.

The Showdown of 1998-99 The "Asia crisis" launched by British financier George Soros in the Summer of 1997, with a speculative attack on Thailand, Malaysia, and other Asian nations, proved to be (as LaRouche insisted at the time) a global crisis of the system as a whole. When, in August 1998, the Russian financial system under British puppet Boris Yeltsin exploded, in part because the just-created Russian bond market had been flooded with hot money fleeing Asia, the U.S. hedge fund Long-Term Credit Management (LTCM) was thrown into default, with $4 billion in losses on Russian GKO bond-related derivatives, nearly busting the entire world financial system. This action coincided with the point at which Clinton was compelled to testify before a Federal grand jury, that same August.

Here are some key inflection points in that process, showing the interrelationship among the crisis, Clinton's response, and the British mobilization to stop him. 1998 March: LaRouche's EIR releases a 55-minute video on the "Assault on the Presidency," in which LaRouche urges Clinton not to be pushed into war against Iraq, and to follow his advice on how to resolve the world economic crisis. March 18: LaRouche at a Washington, D.C. EIR seminar elaborates on his policy for a New Bretton Woods reorganization of the world economy, based on national sovereignty, bankruptcy reorganization, and major development projects. June: President Clinton visits China, for a summit meeting with President Jiang Zemin, with the aim of improving relations, despite an enormous outcry from Republican critics. August: Clinton is hauled before a grand jury to testify on the Lewinsky affair. Sept. 2: Clinton makes state visit to Russia, despite huge opposition. Sept. 9: In the face of the gathering momentum, including by a faction of the Democratic Party, demanding that President Clinton resign, Helga Zepp-LaRouche founds "Americans To Save the Presidency," with the support of dozens of state legislators and others around the country, and begins to organize nationwide. Sept. 10: Yevgeni Primakov is appointed Prime Minister of Russia after a failed attempt by British and other international interests to reinstate Victor Chernomyrdin as prime minister (one of the executors of Londondirected genocide against Russia in the mid-1990s), and put Russia under the direct dictates of London-selected finance specialists Boris Fyodorov and Domingo Cavalho. Primakov appoints an economic policy team that is committed to reviving Russia's collapsed physical economy, paying back wages, and renegotiating the country's foreign debt, while creating a Russia-ChinaIndia alliance, and conducting crucial war-avoidance diplomacy with Clinton.

Sept. 14: President Clinton, at the Council on Foreign Relations and related meetings later that week, calls for reform of the world financial system in keeping with FDR's policies to "limit swings in the economy," noting that one-third of the world was living in economies undergoing collapse. The CFR event is the first public appearance by Clinton since he was dragged before the "Starr Chamber" (under Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr) grand jury in August on the Lewinsky affair. Sept. 27-29: Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan visits the U.S., where cooperation on the financial crisis is discussed. Sept. 21: Under the aegis of House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the House Judiciary Committee turns the Congress into a pornographic witchhunt against Clinton, releasing the tapes of the grand jury testimony. Sept. 23: LTCM collapses over its Russia-related losses. August and September: Al Gore holds a series of meetings on Wall Street with

    

Edgar Bronfman, Hank Greenberg (AIG), Jon Corzine (Goldman Sachs), Steven Ratner (Lazard), D.E. Shaw, and others, promising to use his influence with the Russian financial mafia to assure full payment of the GKO bonds, and planning joint attacks on Russia over anti-semitism charges from the Anti-Defamation League and Bronfman's World Jewish Congress.

Sept. 24: LaRouche issues a statement attacking Blair for his advocacy of a phony New Bretton Woods, in fact, a supranational world dictatorship. Sept. 27: LaRouche issues a statement on world economic reorganization, entitled "What Nations Must Do." Sept. 29: Clinton announces, together with Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, that "a new era in U.S.-China relations" will be launched, after several private meetings with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan, specifically to collaborate on the global financial crisis.

31

Nov. 21: British establish new closer defense pact with Israel, now in the hands of warhawk Benjamin Netanyahu. Nov. 23: New York Times author James Risen reports that Gore, who had co-chaired the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission (U.S.-Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technological Cooperation) since 1993, "did not want to hear allegations that Mr. Chernomyrdin was corrupt, and was not interested in ... intelligence reports on the matter." Risen writes that one secret CIA report that went to Gore, containing what was considered "conclusive evidence" of Chernomyrdin's personal corruption, was returned to the agency with a "barnyard epithet scrawled across its cover." Dec. 9: After two months of widely publicized debate, the House Judiciary Committee votes up a bill of impeachment with four articles, based on the Lewinsky and Paula Jones affairs. Dec. 16: U.S. and British planes bomb Iraq, allegedly for failure to comply with weapons inspectors. A climate of assassination threats and attempts was created by the media witchhunt against the President. Larry Nichols, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, is shown brandishing a handgun at a May 11, 1994 rally in Boulder, Colo. Nichols vowed to have a showdown with Bill Clinton at “high noon” and threatened, “One of us is getting out of town.”

Oct. 1: LaRouche issues a document entitled "People First!" outlining concrete measures for dealing with the world financial emergency. November: Clinton cancels his scheduled attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Malaysia, where he had been expected to pursue his cooperation with China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in dealing with the global financial crisis. Gore goes in his place, and utters a diatribe against Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir's stand against the speculators and the IMF, and backing British agent Anwar Ibrahim's anarchist demonstrations going on in the street outside the meeting. Nov. 13: Blair ups his push for more armed action against Iraq, for alleged violations of sanctions. 32

Dec. 19: President Clinton is impeached by the House of Representatives on a nearly party-line vote.

1999 Jan. 1: LaRouche issues statement "To Defeat Impeachment, Defeat the New Confederacy," to mobilize patriots against the impending impeachment trial in the Senate. Feb. 12: Clinton is acquitted by the Senate, with only Republicans (but not all Republicans) voting for conviction. March: Primakov's planned visit to Washington on March 22, for a meeting of the bilateral intergovernmental commission, is upgraded to include a one-on-one meeting with President Clinton, as well as emergency efforts to avert the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. March 11-15: Chernomyrdin and Russian moneybags Boris Berezovsky visit Washington, and meet with Gore and others in D.C., and on Wall Street.

March 22: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gets Primakov to postpone his U.S. visit by a day, meeting first with him in the Kremlin on March 22.

May: Russian President Yeltsin fires Primakov, after Berezovsky and Chernomyrdin visit Primakov to tell him he is finished.

March 23: While on the plane to Washington, Primakov receives a call from Gore saying that the U.S. will not postpone the planned bombing raids against Yugoslavia. Primakov ordered the plane turned around in mid-flight and returned to Moscow. EIR's information is that the decision on the bombing was made by the so-called Principals Committee, against the will of President Clinton.

May 6: The U.S. Senate passes the Gramm-LeachBliley Act, repealing Glass-Steagall. May 8: NATO fires five bombs at the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, killing three Chinese journalists and injuring 20 embassy staff. Who ordered that? June: LaRouche issues "New Marshall Plan for the Balkans."

April 4-14: Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji pays an official visit to the U.S. at the invitation of Clinton, the first visit to the U.S. by a Chinese Premier in 15 years.

July 1: The House of Representatives passes the Gramm -Leach-Bliley Act.

April 23: British imperial leader Tony Blair gives a speech in Chicago calling for the end of the Westphalian system of national sovereignty, and launching the campaign of military intervention for "humanitarian" purposes, so-called preventive war.

Nov. 12: Clinton signs the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act into law effectively destroying Glass-Steagall and ushering in the world’s greatest hyperinflationary derivatives bubble.

Part 2 The British Goal: Depopulation

Behind London's War Drive: A Policy To Kill Billions The Empire: In Their Own Words

35

Behind London's War Drive: A Policy To Kill Billions By Nancy Spannaus, Editor of Executive Intelligence Review At the conclusion of World War II, all people of conscience were horrified to learn of the full extent of the genocide which had been carried out by German dictator Adolf Hitler. While tens of millions were killed by all manner of means—from the war, to euthanasia, to death camps, and the like—Hitler's attempt to wipe out the Jewish population by killing 6 million Jews, became an emblem for his more general extermination policy. "Never Again," was the cry. "Never again" will we allow systematic mass murder to be carried out in order to exterminate populations. Yet today, it is not 6 million, but 6 billion members of the human race who are threatened with deliberate mass murder. And it is an unresolved question as to whether patriots of the nations which can stop this extermination, will act to prevent it, in time.

Emperor Nero before him, who has been charged by the British Empire with the mission of implementing the policies that will lead to world depopulation, this time on almost-unfathomable scale. In a statement issued today, Lyndon LaRouche again laid the issue on the line: "If Barack Obama is not thrown out of office soon, civilization is in mortal danger," LaRouche said. "The British monarchy is out to destroy the United States as we know it, and Obama is its puppet instrument for accomplishing exactly that. The overall objective of this Londoncentered oligarchy is to reduce the world's present population from the current official level of 7 billion to fewer than 1 billion. "That is the issue that can no longer be dodged, if mankind is to survive the coming weeks and months.

Adolf Hitler was not representative of the German nation, of course, any more than cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer is representative of Americans, or Jack the Ripper of the English. Hitler was a puppet of ruling circles in Great Britain, who created the genocidal ideology he embraced, and deployed the funds and other resources to bring him to power. And while Hitler was defeated by a coalition largely dependent upon Franklin D. Roosevelt's United States, those evil British circles, centered on the monarchy, did not die with him. So today, as the British Empire again finds itself threatened with disintegration and bankruptcy, we find it steering another pup- The strategic perspective which must be understood if the financial collapse will not pet: this time the President of the United drive us towards an extinction war with Russia and China is that the Anglo Dutch States. Yes, Barack Obama is also a bought- oligarchy intends to reduce the world’s population from 7 to one billion souls, and and-paid for lunatic, like Hitler, and the Obama is their key weapon. Pictured above, Obama greets her highness in 2009 36

The present drive for World War III, beginning with the targeting of Iran and Syria, is driven by the British commitment to wipe out more than 80% of the human race, just as Prince Philip has demanded on numerous public occasions. Those who try to deny this reality are endangering mankind by their failure to face the truth." In the pages that follow, I draw on the more than 40-year history of LaRouche and his movement's war against the evil genocidalists centered in the British monarchy, to make it, once again, perfectly clear what the intent of this enemy of the human race is. The British are not the first empire to seek global depopulation; indeed such a policy is characteristic of imperial oligarchies going back as far as history is known. But, as today's incarnation of the Roman Empire, the British royal family rules over a global financial imperium which now demands the culling of the human race, by the killing of up to 6 billion people. If you think that's irrational, you're right. But face reality: It is just such genocidal irrationality that Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth, and President Barack Obama represent. And if you don't act to stop them, you are as good as dead.”

archy at his disposal, he has done a hideously effective job. Key to the poison which the WWF and representatives like Philip spread, is the insidious and anti-scientific idea of a limited "carrying capacity" for supporting the human population, in alleged parallel to such a carrying capacity for animal species. Ignoring the millennia-long history of human progress, Philip and his passel of acolytes who pollute universities, governments, and civic institutions internationally, assert that man must "compete" with "other animals" and nature for the resources to survive, and that even advances in technology—such as advances in agricultural productivity— only postpone the "inevitable" barrier to expansion. Representative is the following statement by the Prince: "You cannot keep a bigger flock of sheep than you are capable of feeding. In other words conservation may involve culling in order to keep a balance between the relative numbers in each species within any particular habitat. I realize this is a very touchy subject, but the fact remains that mankind is part of the living world.... Every new acre brought into cultivation means another acre denied to wild species."

I. The British Objective: Depopulation Start with the most outspoken proponent of the British genocide policy, Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) president emeritus, His Royal Highness Prince Philip. The sadistic Philip, who founded the WWF in 1961, in collaboration with his dear Nazi friend Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, has no qualms about stating his objective for reducing the human population. He considers people to be just another kind of animal, which must be controlled in order to maintain the kind of world order over which the oligarchy wishes to exert unchallenged rule. "In the event I am reborn, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation," Philip told Deutsche Presse Agentur, during a trip to Germany in August 1988. In fact, Philip already behaves as a virus, spreading the people-hating and de-industrializing ideology which lies at the heart of the so-called environmentalist movement that has been taking over the world since President John F. Kennedy's death. With the resources and power of the British mon-

Bunk, murderous bunk.

“Conservation may involve culling in order to keep a balance between the relative numbers in each species within any particular habitat. I realize this is a very touchy subject, but the fact remains that mankind is part of the living world. . . .” -Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh 37

Optimum Population Trust While the WWF itself has generally tried to keep a distance from outright calls for killing off populations— although its policies against high-technology development result in precisely that conclusion—it has spawned other organizations to do the job. Most prominent among them are the Optimum Population Trust (OPT) and the Global Footprint Network (GFN). Both of these institutions specialize in coming up with estimates of how many billion people must be eliminated, in order to "save the environment." The OPT, which works closely with the WWF and other related organizations, has "population reduction" as its main objective. Its outlook is well reflected by one of its main patrons, the genocidal maniac Paul Ehrlich, who kicked off a massive population control movement in the United States in 1968 with his book The Population Bomb. Ehrlich, who is still active, won a gold medal from the WWF in 1987, and established the Zero Population Growth organization in the U.S. As of 1994, he was calling for a reduction of human population from 6 billion to 1.5-2 billion. "A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people," Ehrlich wrote inThe Population Bomb. "We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions." Under this "philosophy," the OPT—which calls itself a "charity," has declared that Great Britain has to cut its population in half, and that, as of 2009, the world population has to be cut by two-thirds. In a July 2007 report titled "Youthquake," OPT compared the births of human beings to the devastation of earthquakes, and suggested the need for compulsory birth control. They asked:

It projected that the addition of more people would mean that by 2050, "when the UN projects world population will be 9.1 billion, there will be an estimated 5 billion more people than the Earth can support." So, now the aim is to eliminate 5 billion people. You might consider that mass murder, but the UN Population Fund does not. It featured the OPT's director, Roger Martin, as a presenter of its own "State of World Population 2009" report in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.

Global Footprint Network Working with the OPT and the WWF is the Global Footprint Network, which, in cooperation with the Zoological Society of London, has taken up the job of setting up a Living Planet index, which determines how many people should live (and die) in every country. According to a report the GFN released on the occasion of the 2009 UN Copenhagen Summit, three-quarters of all nations on Earth are using up more resources than they claim the "Earth's biocapacity" can sustain. They demanded immediate action by governments and international agencies to reduce population, starting with at least a third (2 billion). How to do that? First, cut living standards, and "reward" nations for reducing population. More repulsive methods, such as war and disease, are left unstated. But we have not yet come to the most extreme aim, that of calling for a reduction of human population to below 1 billion. The prize for that goes to John Schellnhuber, head of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research, who was made a Commander of the Most Excellent Order (CBE) of the British Empire in 2004, by Queen Elizabeth.

"Might humanity have to suffer the kind of death-dictated control to achieve stabilisation, or reduction by a population crash—a mass cull through violence, diseases, starvation or natural disasters—which biology dictates for all other species when their numbers exceed the limits of their environment's carrying capacity?" (emphasis added) In a March 2009 press release, entitled "Earth Heading for 5 Billion Overpopulation?" the OPT estimated the world's sustainable population at 5 billion—but didn't stop at that. 38

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber

Schellnhuber—who is a longtime collaborator of President Obama's Science and Technology Advisor, John P. Holdren—told a March 13, 2009 pre-meeting of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference that his studies had calculated "estimates for the carrying capacity of the planet, namely below 1 billion people," if his policy of eliminating all modern energy sources (fossils fuels and nuclear) were not implemented. In fact, the world population would be reduced to that level—eliminating 6 billion people—through the implementation of that insane policy.

'Natural' Genocide On March 10 of this year, Prince Philip chaired a meeting of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts (RSA), of which he is president. There, he cheered on one of the most anti-human presentations known to this author, by the knighted "naturalist" Sir David Attenborough. Attenborough, who was receiving an RSA prize, proceeded to give a speech which was rallying cry against the "one element" he claimed was behind all the "disasters that continue increasingly to afflict the natural world," "the unprecedented increase in the number of human beings on this planet." Malthus was right, Attenborough said, but people are afraid today to talk about curbing population. This is "tragic," he said. Philip virtually beamed as Attenborough spoke. In the question-and-answer period, he took the occasion to brag a bit about how he was the one who recruited Prince

Bernhard to be the first president of the WWF, and how he insisted, against opposition, that the point of "conservation" was not to please people, but for the animals' sake. He could have added, for the sake of the human animals who make up the British Royal family.

II. Dirty Bertie Russell Lives As LaRouche elaborated in his book-length feature in the Fall 1994 Fidelio magazine, "How Bertrand Russell Became an Evil Man," (1) the evil that is the British Empire came into its own in 1688, when William of Orange invaded the island, and started the process that led to Britain becoming the "new Venice." By the latter part of the 18th Century, the radical imperialist ideology of depopulation fanatic Thomas Malthus, free-trader Adam Smith, and liberal imperialist Jeremy Bentham had been put into place. The Malthusian doctrine, imported whole cloth from the Venetian Gianmaria Ortes, took aim specifically at the recently established United States, which was expanding its population by leaps and bounds. Malthus wrote "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798, wherein he declared that population growth had to outgrow the increase in the means of subsistence. Thus, punitive measures had to be taken to discourage population growth. No welfare, no support should go to poor children—they should be left to die (as in California and other U.S. states today). Malthus was blunt: "All children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons.... Therefore ... we should facilitate, instead of foolishly and vainly endeavoring to impede, the operations of nature in producing this mortality; and if we dread this too frequent visitation of the (1) Lyndon LaRouche, How Bertrand Russell Became an Evil Man, Fidelio, Fall 1994

“All children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons. . . . Therefore . . . we should facilitate, instead of foolishly and vainly endeavoring to impede, the operations of nature in producing this mortality. . . .” -Rev. Thomas Malthus

Horrid form of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction, which we compel nature to use. "Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlement in all marshy and unwholesome situations. But above all we should reprobate specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and restrain those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they are doing a service to mankind by protecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders." Malthus, a demented parson, eventually was hired as a professor at Haileybury College, for the British East India Company, and his drivel became establishment "thought." But it was not until the end of the 19th Century that the Malthusian outlook was popularized for the world at large by those arch-imperialists Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells, whose evil went so far that they would not even shrink from the detonation of nuclear war.

Depopulation, by Any Means Necessary Lord Bertrand Russell came by his degeneracy hereditar40

ily, from a Brutish noble family in the late 19th Century. His sometime sidekick H.G. Wells had no such pedigree, but succeeded in attracting the attention of oligarchical circles with his bestial novels, and entering into the milieu of the imperialist elite, in particular, the Huxley family. The LaRouche movement's book, The New Dark Ages Conspiracy of 1978 provides the gory details on the outlook and activities of this crew, whose bestiality of outlook—against the "lesser races," the "unfit," industrial progress, and the American outlook in general—knows virtually no bounds. But it is in Russell and Wells that we see the most naked statement of intent for maintaining the global rule by the oligarchy by any means necessary, including nuclear war. First, just to briefly establish Russell's strictly Malthusian, people-hating outlook, I quote two documents. In his 1923 Prospects of Industrial Civilization, he writes: "Socialism, especially international socialism, is only possible as a stable system if the population is stationary or nearly so. A slow increase might be coped with by improvements in agricultural methods, but a rapid increase must in the end reduce the whole population to penury ... the white population of the world will soon cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and the negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of war and pestilence.... Until that happens, the benefits aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and the less prolific races will have to defend themselves against the more prolific by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary." Even more shameless was Russell's discussion of population in his 1951 The Impact of Science on Society:

he claimed that the proposal was intended as blackmail, to force the Russians into submission, he did not hesitate to add, "Of course you can't threaten unless you're prepared to have your bluff called." Yes, this is the same Bertrand Russell who has been acclaimed as the "pacifist" leader of the Ban the Bomb movement. Yet then, as now, there was no excuse for people not being horrified at the evil in Russell's oligarchical policy. Indeed, a whole grouping of what were popularly portrayed as "mad scientists," such as Dr. Leo Szilard, took up the Russell vision as a mission, developing scenarios for "controlled" wars through nuclear exchanges. What would guarantee such wars remained "contained?" Absolutely nothing.

Lord Bertrand Russell

"But bad times, you may say, are exceptional, and can be dealt with by exceptional methods. This has been more or less true during the honeymoon period of industrialism, but it will not remain true unless the increase of population can be enormously diminished. At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued through each of the world wars.... War ... has hitherto been disappointing in this respect ... but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full.... The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's." You think it would be impossible for an elite to actually call for the mass destruction of human beings, in order to make Lebensraum for their desires? Indeed, Russell does not leave any doubt. And he becomes even more explicit about the potential "nuclear option" in the postwar period, when, in the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences and public radio interviews, he explicitly called for a "preventive war" with nuclear weapons against Soviet Russia, in order to enforce a world government. While

While operating more in the "cultural" field, novelist H.G. Wells was equally disgusting and vile in his promotion of bestialization, his attack on industrial progress, and his promotion of civilization-destroying war as a tool of the oligarchy's determination to eliminate nation-states, and hold on to world power. This "vision" is elaborated most clearly in his The Shape of Things to Come, which was both a movie, and a seemingly endless academic book, in which the international oligarchy carries out a decades-long war of annihilation which bombs civilization back into the Stone Age, in order to then establish a globalized society based on eugenic, anti -human "science," which rules by allegedly benevolent dictatorship of the peoples of the Earth, whose numbers would be regulated with precision.

'People Are Cancer' Don't delude yourself that such perverts are Russell and Wells are restricted to British elite circles. Through infection of all areas of American society, in the wake of the British assassination of Abraham Lincoln, especially the world of academia, this British Malthusian outlook has polluted a huge section of the intellectual elite in the United States itself. Indeed, that was and is the British oligarchical plan: to destroy the major threat to their world domination, the republic of the United States of America.

“We must rapidly bring the world population under control, reducing the growth rate to zero or making it negative. Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved.” -Paul Ehrlich

In the wake of another British assassination of an American President, this time John F. Kennedy, the stage was set for an explosion of anti-human propaganda which insisted, like Russell and Malthus, that scientific progress itself led to more and healthier people, and therefore would push the world to become "too full." Working in tandem with the explicitly British-run progenocide institutions, such as the World Wildlife Fund, a whole set of depopulation institutions and policymakers went into action in the United States. I will highlight only a few. Start with Paul R. Ehrlich of "people are cancer" fame, whom we cited above. He produced his The Population Bomb in 1968, which became a "best-seller" in the milieu of the rampaging counterculture. Ehrlich forecast immediate mass death from the shortage of food, and, when asked what must be done, said, "We must rapidly bring the world population under control, reducing the growth rate to zero or making it negative. Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved. Simultaneously, we must, at least temporarily, greatly increase our food production." Among Ehrlich's proposals was forced sterilization, perhaps by putting sterilizants in the water supply. Obama's current "science" advisor Holdren is notorious for having studied with Ehrlich, and collaborated with him in coming up with such hideous, and totally unscientific proposals. Ehrlich was not simply speaking for himself, of course. He had the political support of the Malthusian lobby in the U.S., which had promoted these very genocidal policies before Hitler did, but had to tone them down in the 42

course of the war. The Population Crisis Committee, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and many others were working behind the scenes to reintroduce their eugenicist vision—now "revised" to be a means of "saving the environment," and improving the "quality of life" for fewer, and fewer, and fewer people. Simultaneous with Ehrlich, came a huge international boost for the anti-population campaign, with the publication of Limits to Growth, which projected "inevitable" mass death if action was not taken to control population. In fact, as MIT-based authors Dennis Meadows and Donna Forester later admitted, their projections were a fraud, in that they were based on no improvements in existing technologies. But the book served the purpose of popularizing the zerogrowth idea, and creating the climate in which the Club of Rome was established in 1972. There was nothing American about the Club of Rome. Its founders, Britian's Alexander King and Italy's Aurelio Peccei, both veterans of NATO intelligence, were aggressive proponents of reducing population (on the order of 2 billion below what was projected as year2000 levels), squelching industry, and eliminating the sovereign nation-state. They claimed that "limited resources" meant that population had to be contained, and that "blind human proliferation is the basic factor" in the major world's problems. For explicitness, it's hard to beat this Club of Rome statement from its 1991 The First Global Revoltuion: "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.... But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself." "American" academics did pick up on these ideas, in spades. Take Garrett James Hardin, an ecologist turned

propagandist for cutting population, who came up with the famous "lifeboat" image for human survival. In the midst of the 1974 Ethiopian famine, Hardin came forward, in true Malthusian fashion, to say that providing food aid to the starving was ill-advised, because we just had too many people; to survive, we had to throw the weaker overboard.

Either the current birth rates must come down more quickly. Or the current death rates must go up. . . . In a themonuclear age, war can accomplish it very quickly and decisively. Famine and disease are nature’s ancient checks on population growth, and neither one has disappeared from the scene.

State Department consultant and academic William Paddock prescribed a similar approach with Mexico's crisis of the mid-1970s. In an interview with EIR in 1975, he said: "The Mexican population must be reduced by half. Seal the border and watch them scream." When asked how the population reduction would be accomplished, Paddock said, "By the usual means: famine, war, and pestilence."

War on Population It may appear that the flamboyant calls for genocide, such as those of Paddock and Hardin, have been drummed out of public policymaking. Wrong. They have just become a part of the quiet institutional apparatuses which the British financial empire uses to maintain control, such as the World Bank, the IMF, and even the U.S. Department of State. Take the case of the late Robert Strange McNamara, noted for his "body-count" approach as Defense Secretary to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and his emphasis on population control during his presidency at the World Bank. The following quote conveys his mentality, in that it starts with the objective of holding down population. "There are only two possible ways in which a world of 10 billion people can be averted. Either the current birth rates must come down more quickly. Or the current death rates must go up. "There is no other way.

-Robert S. McNamara

"There are, of course, many ways in which the death rates can go up. In a themonuclear age, war can accomplish it very quickly and decisively. Famine and disease are nature's ancient checks on population growth, and neither one has disappeared from the scene...." The implications of such a mentality governing the World Bank (not to mention other UN institutions such as the UN Fund for Population Activities) are vast, of course. Enter the famous "conditionalities" for population control, in order to meet the alleged "carrying capacities" of various nations. Among the means used, forced sterilization is known to be one; can one rule out intentional wars? Certainly not. During British agent Henry Kissinger's tenure as National Security Advisor, he oversaw the drafting of National Security Study Memorandum 200, a policy statement making population reduction in the developing sector nations, especially those with raw materials the United States had determined it needed, U.S. policy. This document, which has never been repealed, was not declassified until 1989 but its message is chilling. Discussing the objective of maintaining a reliable flow of raw materials into the U.S., the relevant section of NSSM 200 reads: "Concessions to foreign countries are likely to be expropriated or subjected to arbitrary intervention. Whether through government action, labor conflicts, sabotage, of civil disturbance, the smooth flow of needed materials will be jeopardized. Although population pressure is not 43

sell and Wells might say. Most relevant to our story here is the Green policy toward nuclear energy. There is no question but that the survival, and progress, of our human family of 7 billion people today, absolutely requires a massive expansion of nuclear power, combined with a crash program for reaching ignition for nuclear fusion plants and moving on to matteranti-matter reactrs. Denial of electric power to a population is murder—and that's what the Greens intend to do. Henry Kissinger’s NSSM 200 depopulation program became national policy under Jimmy Carter. Here, Nixon shares a podium with Kissinger, who served as his controller

the only factor involved, these types of frustrations are much less likely under conditions of slow or zero population growth. Consequently, reduction of population in these states is a matter of vital U.S. national security." (emphasis added) Subsequent memoranda, not to mention the actions, of the Kissinger era in foreign policy shaping make it clear that this was not merely an academic statement, but that the United States deliberately intervened to promote "population wars" to reduce such "pressures." The IranIraq War was one of which he famously bragged. George H.W. Bush's Gulf War was identified by Lyndon LaRouche at the time as another. Then, of course, there is Africa, which the Malthusians constantly complain has the highest birth rate in the world—and, by aid of manipulation and impoverishment from British and other intelligence services and financial institutions, remains in a condition of almost constant fraticidal and genocidal warfare. Obama has jumped in to participate in this policy with all four feet.

Green Genocide The British Empire's depopulation policy has one other major weapon: the "Green" movement. As I will elaborate in more detail in the next section of this report, denial of the fruits of scientific and technological progress may be a slow way to eliminate population, but it is an extremely reliable one. And under conditions of extreme weather conditions, to which our planet is being subjected due to galactic forces, it may also become an "efficient" means of wiping out large sections of mankind—as Rus44

Formally, of course, the Obama Administration and the British government do not eschew nuclear power. The British are even contemplating a significant expansion of their nuclear power capacity, although Obama has not. But both governments, in contrast to China and Russia, in particular, are carrying out crippling budget cuts against the science required to expand and maintain nuclear power—including against the space program—virtually guaranteeing that there will be no skilled manpower available to maintain nuclear capacity. And, both governments have carried out a foreign policy toward nations aspiring to develop civilian nuclear energy, which reeks of the Malthusian agenda of denying this life-saving capability to poorer nations. As Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have documented indepth, today's "green" is the new "brown"—brown as in fascist suppression of technologies required for a human standard of living, and prospect for development. That Obama would appoint John Holdren, who was not only notorious for his work with genocidalist Paul Ehrlich, but also for his work with Bertrand Russell's world government Pugwash organization, as his Science and Technology Advisor, simply further establishes his credentials as a puppet of the British Malthusian oligarchy.

III. LaRouche Dared Call It Genocide LaRouche's breakthroughs in economic science, starting in the late 1940s/early 1950s, gave him a unique insight into the genocidal nature of the British oligarchy's "economics." Through denial of the specifically creative powers of the human mind, LaRouche understood, the British-school economists were ultimately committed to an outlook of zero growth, and collapse of civilization. The result, as in the case of previous empires, most notably the Roman Empire, would be genocide and depopulation, because the very nature of mankind and the universe

Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have led the fight against the imperial genocidalists for more than four decades, and are hated by the oligarchy for that reason.

in which we live requires constant qualitative progress, at constantly higher level of energy flux density, and idea density as well. LaRouche took on the Russellites early on, in the form of anti-human systems analysis freaks like Norbert Wiener. Once he had established a political association, in the late 1960s, he directed that organization to go after the British Malthusian zero-growth movement, just as it was being launched en masse in 1968-172. Most importantly, LaRouche and his movement also presented the antidote to war and genocide—a program for scientific progress based on the highest ideals of the nation state. While the subject is vast, I shall touch some of the highlights. One of the LaRouche movement's early pamphlets on the issue, put out in 1972, asserted that the anti-science movement was nothing but a "Blueprint for Extinction." By contrast, LaRouche advocated the crash development of nuclear power, and in 1974, participated in the founding of the Fusion Energy Foundation.

LaRouche movement in Europe, carried out a highly public intervention at the UN's decennial Population Conference in Bucharest, Romania, confronting leading depopulator John D. Rockefeller III as pushing genocide on the Third World as a "Rockefeller baby." At that point, the LaRouche movement became the international counterpole to the British Malthusian movement, a status which was further confirmed in 1982, when then Helga ZeppLaRouche established the Club of Life, to counter the Club of Rome. In his famous election-eve television appearance in 1976, U.S. Labor Party candidate LaRouche dramatically exposed the genocidal intent behind the Carter election campaign, controlled as it was by Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission and associated oligarchical institutions. LaRouche went after key Carter advisor George Ball, who, in his Diplomacy for a Crowded World, had called for triage against Mexico, including the reduction of the Mexican population from 58 million to 28 million. This is a war policy, LaRouche said—and Carter must be stopped to prevent World War III.

Also in 1974, Helga Zepp, leader of the newly established 45

Carter's election represented a chilling victory for the British Malthusians, and the newly elected President immediately pressed for both nuclear confrontation with the Soviets, and a takedown of the advanced technology basis for industrial progress. LaRouche responded in 1977 with the initiation of his Beam Weapon Defense program, which eventually became known as President Reagan's SDI. The concept represented not only a means of war avoidance, by making nuclear missiles obsolete— directly countering the Bertrand Russell approach—but also a scientific revolution into a new plateau of economic development for the planet as a whole, all based on collaboration between the leading nuclear powers of the time, the United States and the Soviet Union.

high technology in the face of potential Soviet competition. Now, finally, they thought they had a free path to the one-world, deindustrialized, depopulated dictatorship which Bertrand Russell had envisioned nearly 100 years before.

In 1978, LaRouche commissioned The New Dark Ages Conspiracy, whose purpose, as he put it in his "How Bertrand Russell Became an Evil Man," was to show the horrifying things that had happened in the 20th Century, which would not have happened without Russell's role. The exposé was more than timely, as the Carter Administration moved to consolidate a depopulation agenda, by producing such government policy documents as the "Global 2000 Report," which, like the Club of Rome's "Limits to Growth," mandated ultimately genocidal "conservation" and anti-technology measures.

Which brings us to the current decisive crisis point. The British Empire is bankrupt, but determined to rule the planet, and they have a puppet as President of the United States whom they intend to use to that end. The U.S., along with British assets Israel and Saudi Arabia, are already moving toward accomplishing the British oligarchy's goal, by pursuing a confrontation with Syria and Iran which would lead directly into thermonuclear confrontation with Russia and China. Knowledgeable members of Obama's Administration, as well as public evidence, confirm that the President is in an uncontrolled Nero state-of-mind, determined to impose his will on any one who gets in his way. No one can assert that Obama would not carry out the ultimate "irrationality," by detonating thermonuclear war.

Throughout the 1980s, the LaRouche movement continued the battle against the depopulators, and the green genocide movement, even as the British Malthusians consolidated their intellectual grip over the political and institutional policy apparatuses in the United States and internationally. That consolidation was independent of political party, as exemplified by the formation of a Futures caucus in the U.S. Congress in 1988, which included both Newt Gingrich and Al Gore. The fall of the Berlin Wall, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, represented a significant turning point for the British Malthusians, who, up to that point, had had to maintain some commitment to 46

To carry that out, however, they would have to destroy the FDR/American System tradition in the United States, as well as crush any other potentially challenging nationstate, especially Russia and China. Over the course of three Bush terms in the Presidency, and three years of Barack Obama, they have made significant progress in destroying the United States—but, on the international front, there is significant resistance.

There are many people, survivors of the war and the Holocaust, who said to themselves after World War II, that they wished they had moved to stop Hitler while they still had a chance. There will be very few, if any, survivors around to mourn that lost opportunity in stopping Barack Obama, if he goes ahead with the British monarchy's planned war against Russia and China. There is no sane alternative, but to remove Obama from office now.

The Empire… In Their Own Words The oligarchic principle of intentional genocide shines through clearly in these citations from leading spokesmen for the British Empire, spanning over 200 years. It is only by identifying the true ideological strain that is at the heart of both “right wing” monetarist, and “left wing” ecological thinking in the modern world that true humanists may both understand and recognize the solution to our many sided crises now pressing upon our future. 1791, Parson Thomas Malthus, hired pen of the British East India Company’s Haileybury College, wrote in his An Essay on Population in 1799: “We should facilitate, instead of foolishly and vainly endeavoring to impede, the operations of nature in producing this mortality; and if we dread the too frequent visitation of the horrid form of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction, which we compel nature to use. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague.” More from Malthus’ An Essay on the Principle of Population: “We are bound in justice and honour formally to disdain the right of the poor to support.” “To this end, I should propose a regulation to be made, declaring that no child born from any marriage taking place after the expiration of a year from the date of the law, and no illegitimate child born two years from the same date, should ever be entitled to parish assistance. “The infant is, comparatively speaking, of little value to society, as others will immediately supply its place.” Lord Bertrand Russell writing in his 1951 The Impact of Science on Society: “War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect [in accomplishing population reduction], but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full.” Paul R. Ehrlich, the mentor of Obama’s current Science Czar John Holdren wrote in his famous The Population Bomb in 1968: “A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multi-

plication of people. . . . We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions.” 1988, Prince Philip of Edinburgh in a 1988 interview Deutsche Press Agentur said: “The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war. ...In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” 1991, The Club of Rome: Founded officially in 1972 out of the fraudulent “Limits to Growth” study, the Club of Rome is patronized by the monarchies of The Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium, to this present day. It’s 1972 report was sponsored by its then patron Pierre Elliot Trudeau using Canadian Tax payer funds during the Club’s 1971 Conference in Montebello, Quebec. From the Club’s 1991 book The First Global Revolution, we can read its co-founder Alexander King state: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. . . . But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” April 2012, Paul Ehrlich, fellow of the British Royal Society, upon the release of the Society report, “People and the Planet,” issued this comment to the London Guardian on the need to reduce population: “How many you support depends on lifestyles. We came up with 1.5 to 2 billion because you can have big active cities and wilderness. If you want a battery chicken world where everyone has minimum space and food and everyone is kept just about alive you might be able to support in the long term about 4 or 5 billion people. But you already have 7 billion. So we have to humanely and as rapidly as possible move to population shrinkage.” “The question is: can you go over the top without a disaster, like 47

worldwide plague or a nuclear war between India and Pakistan? If we go on at the pace as we are, there’s going to be various forms of disaster. Some maybe slow motion disasters like people getting more and more hungry, or catastrophic disasters because the more people you have the greater the chance of some weird virus transferring from animal to human populations, there could be a vast die-off.” Ehrlich’s protégé John Holdren, who has led in the shutdown of NASA`s manned space systems and fusion program as Obama`s science Czar went further when he wrote on p.942 in his 1977 book Ecoscience: “Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime- sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market. The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.” Sir Julian Huxley speaking at the Galton Lecture in 1936 said: “The lowest strata... allegedly less well endowed genetically... must not have too easy access to relief or hospital treatment lest the removal of the last check on natural selection should make it too easy for children to be produced or to survive...” Huxley continued this message in his 1946 UNESCO: Its Purpose and its Philosophy: “Thus, even though it is quite true that any radical eugenics policy of controlled human breeding will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care...” Huxley founded the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1946, revamping all global educational systems after WWII which was instrumental in brainwashing the western baby boomer population. Huxley then co-founded the World Wildlife Fund 48

(WWF) with Prince Philip and Prince Bernhard in 1961 while simultaneously serving as head of the Eugenics Society of Britain! Prince Bernhard founded the Bilderberg Group in 1954 as the instrument to advance the eugenics/ world government agenda. Prince Bernhard and Philip’s powerful lackey Maurice Strong let the cat out of the bag in a 1990 interview: “What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is 'no'. The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?” [1] Maurice Strong, founder of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and chairman of the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment, and 1992 Rio Conference. Strong was also the architect of Canada’s foreign policy towards Africa with his 1968 founding of the Canadian International Development Agency. Strong also served as early member of the Club of Rome and Vice-President of the WWF under its then-President Prince Philip.

We must get into the heads of Canadians and Americans that a share in the burden of world government is just as great and glorious a responsibility as participation in the war” (Lothian to Lionel Curtis, Oct. 15, 1918, in Butler, Lord Lothian, pp. 68-70).[2] Hitler knew he was speaking to a member of the inner circle of the Empire when he suggested to Lothian, on Jan. 29, 1935 that, “Germany, England, France, Italy, America and Scandinavia... should arrive at some agreement whereby they would prevent their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as China, and India. It is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing industries”.-Transcribed from Lord Lothian, Macmillan and Co., 1960, pp. 332 [1] "The Wizard Of the Baca Grande," WEST magazine of Alberta, Canada, May 1990 [2] Lothian (aka: Philip Kerr) had recently completed a term as Undersecretary of State for India, directing the repression of India’s nationalist leaders, Gandhi and Nehru.

To Reject Queen's Genocide, Impeach Obama Now by Nancy Spannaus Oct. 22—By no later than May 15, 2009, Lyndon LaRouche had identified the Obama health-care "reform" as a potentially impeachable crime against the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution. In a short memo, he wrote: "The substantive issue is not only the substance of President Obama's offense against the right to life, but the added odiousness of such conduct as his declared intention on account of both the identity of pursuit of that action to Adolf Hitler's odious 1939 law, and the extensive proceedings conducted by the United States and other powers on precisely this account. "Neither the U.S. Congress, President Barack Obama, nor a simple act of legislation can undo a principle of both the U.S. Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution." A month later, after President Obama went on national television to insist on rapid passage of his bill to slash "futile" health expenses for the old and the sick, LaRouche went further: "President Obama is now impeachable, because he has, in effect, proposed legislation which is an exact copy of the legislation for which the Hitler regime was condemned in the post-World War II trials. It is an impeachable offense to propose such a thing in this time. With this statement from him, the President now deserves impeachment." That was over three years ago—and not only was the bill passed, but its murderous provisions have begun to be implemented, with effects we have documented in part below. This President has carried out other impeachable crimes in violation of the U.S Constitution, the most salient being the war against Libya without Congressional authorization, and the assassination of American citi50

zens, without due process of law. Yet, despite all the screams of outrage, from all sides of the political spectrum, Barack Obama remains in office—and is clearly determined to carry out the Hitler genocide program embodied in his signature bill, the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), if it takes a full dictatorship to do so. Indeed, LaRouche's EIR fully detailed the Hitlerian nature of this bill in testimony provided to Congress in June of 2009. They knew, or should have known.

It's the System That's at Stake It is clear that the only way to derail this genocide plan is to remove the President from power, through Constitutional means, such as impeachment, or the "Nixon route." The American people, in a rage against the assault on their living standards and future, are increasingly in support of that proposal. This rage will increase as Obama links up with Wall Street-controlled Republicans to demand cuts in Social Security. But if the substance of Obama's genocide policy is going to be stopped, what LaRouche called the "root of the matter" has to be addressed. For Obama is only a tool of the financial forces, centered in the Anglo-Dutch empire and Wall street, which have declared their intent to reduce the world's population dramatically. If those forces remain in control, disaster will still be guaranteed. As LaRouche put it in his Oct. 18 webcast: "What the root is, is that the Queen of England, in her policy and the policy of her Dutch allies or partners, has actually decreed a campaign of genocide whose stated intention is to reduce the population of the planet Earth from 7 billion persons to less than 1. This program is now ongoing. Not only is this the ongoing program, but this is precisely the program doctored by Queen Elizabeth and adopted from the beginning of his Presidency by this character Obama.

system puts the world not only on a course toward depopulation and death, but a thermonuclear confrontation between the U.S., and Russia and China, which virtually no human beings will survive. The destruction of that system starts with cutting off the predator banks by implementing Glass-Steagall, and then moving to reassert a system of sovereign government credit creation, focused around great projects led by space exploration. Three fascist Bush Presidencies is enough.

"So Obama is actually an instrument of genocide placed in government with the aid of a lot of drug money from the British to back his career, especially near the Texas border and so forth. And this bum has been committed to that policy of genocide specified internationally by the Queen of England and her Dutch accomplices. "This program is now fully in effect, and has been in effect since actually the beginning of the George W. Bush Administration. That has been the policy. It has also been implicitly the policy of the Bush family since Prescott Bush, who was the guy who bailed Hitler out, and made Hitler the dictator of Europe essentially. It was done by the same group. So both of these factors—the Bush family from Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, and little Bush, and Obama— are all samples of this problem. So what we're dealing with is, we're dealing with an international, effectively global campaign, which has already virtually taken out the nations of continental Europe, which are virtually in the process of disappearing under a program which amounts already to genocide.

LaRouche gave the marching orders to American patriots in his Oct. 21 discussion with the LaRouche PAC Policy Committee. "Throw Obama out now! He's utterly impeachable. Get him out of office! And let us go ahead with GlassSteagall, and by using Glass-Steagall as a vehicle not only for economy, but for international policy, we can save this planet from that kind of horror, and that's what we have to do."

"What this means for the United States is that keeping Obama in the Presidency is condoning genocide. He should be thrown out of office now, under the proper procedure; get him out of there so at that point we can save a lot of human lives."

Glass-Steagall Too! To permanently eliminate the power of the British financial empire, and its Wall Street extension— epitomized by such thieves as JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon—requires more than removing Obama. Thesystem which controls him, as it did the Bush presidencies, must be destroyed. For that

Impeachment Closes In on President Barack Obama On Nov. 2, 2012, economist and Lyndon LaRouche PAC founder Lyndon LaRouche held an election-eve press conference at the National Press Club, where he and EIR Counterintelligence editor Jeffrey Steinberg presented the incontrovertible evidence that President Barack Obama's behavior concerning the terrorist attack on the Benghazi, Libya consulate on Sept. 11, 2012 represented an impeachable offense. They further made the point that, if the President were permitted to continue on this course of action, he would, on behalf of his British controllers, lead the United States, and the world, into World War III. Since that press conference, Lyndon LaRouche PAC has uncovered extensive documentation of the President's impeachable, even treasonous behavior, including his alliance with, and cover-up for, known enemies of the United States, including the Saudi-funded terrorist network which carried out both 9/11-One, in 2001, and 9/11 -Two, in Benghazi. These have been detailed in Lyndon LaRouche PAC fact sheets, the latest of which was issued this week; they have gotten wide circulation on Capitol Hill. Now, finally, it appears the Congress is preparing to act. The hearings scheduled to occur May 8, by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, represent the potential for exposing the White House's coverup for jihadi terrorists who are still being protected by the Obama Administration. What will be critical is whether Congress focuses not just on the lies and coverup by the Administration, but on the nature of the illegal armssmuggling operation that was being run from Benghazi to the Syrian rebels. It should also be clear that the continued coverup for these terrorists, whom the Obama Administration is supporting in Syria, is not only aiding and abetting avowed 52

enemies of the United States, but also leading the world directly toward that World War III confrontation of which LaRouche warned. In other words, the failure to remove Obama from office for his treasonous alliance with these enemies of the United States, could lead to the extinction of the nation.

Impeachable Offenses Obama's impeachable offenses, as defined by the Constitutional standard of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors," are by no means limited to the Benghazi atrocity. Lyndon LaRouche PAC first identified the leading elements of Obama's impeachable offenses in January 2010, focussing on the President's adoption of a genocidal health-care plan, which was, and is, dedicated to carrying out mass murder against the population of the United States, and his economic proposals, such as the destruction of NASA, that would destroy the economic basis for survival of the nation. In April 2011, former Assistant Deputy Attorney General under President Reagan, Bruce Fein, issued a draft bill of impeachment which charged the President with usurping the exclusive prerogative of Congress to commence war, under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution, specifically in the case of the President's war against Libya. On Oct. 29, 2011, Constitutional law Professor Francis Boyle offered to draft bills of impeachment against President Obama on the same basis as Fein, as well as for the President's violation of the Constitutional right to due process, by killing at least three American citizens, without due process of law.

Since that time, evidence has arisen of even more offenses, and, most importantly, of other ways in which Obama has "acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States." That, by the way, was the standard used in the articles of impeachment filed against President Richard Nixon, which led him to resign, rather than be convicted.

Itemization A draft outline of Obama's impeachable offenses, in addition to the treasonous alliance with British-Saudi terrorists which is being exposed in the Benghazi case, follows. Counts 1 and 3 are prima facie, and require no further investigation to make the case. The only question is whether a sufficient number of Congressmen have the guts to act to defend the Constitution, in the face of the President's obvious offenses.  Count 1: Violation of Article I, Section 8, the Constitutional provision that Congress has the unique responsibility to declare war, through his pre-emptive war against Libya without Congressional approval.  Count 2: Prosecution of aggressive war in pursuit of regime change in Libya, an action explicitly condemned as a war crime by the post-World War II Nuremberg Tribunal, and in treaties signed by the United States.  Count 3: Violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the "due process clause," through his murder of American citizens, including Anwar Al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son, and Samir Khan.  Count 4: Violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures," through

the expansion of the Bush/Cheney program of warrantless interception of electronic communications of millions of Americans.  Count 5: Conspiracy to commit Crimes against Humanity, through the crafting and promotion of a health-care "reform" which he, and his coconspirators, "knew or should have known" would lead to the "inadequate provision of surgical and medical services," or worse, to large sections of the population, and lead to an increase in the death rate among those considered having lives "not worthy to be lived."  Count 6: Conspiracy to violate the separation of powers provision of the U.S. Constitution, Title I, Sections 7 and 8, through pre-emption of Congress's powers on behalf of imposing fascist austerity programs, and the express intent to continue that policy.  Count 7: Conspiracy to commit the United States to an international genocide policy, through embracing a Green genocide, depopulation agenda, which includes the destruction of the high-technology capabilities of the United States, especially NASA.  Count 8: Conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of the United States, through acting to cede U.S. sovereign powers to institutions loyal to the British Empire, and supranational institutions such as the International Monetary Fund.

Appeal for a Global GlassSteagall Now The following Appeal for a Global Glass-Steagall was issued June 17, 2012, for urgent action across the TransAtlantic region. 1. All nations of the Trans-Atlantic region must enact a law which would separate commercial banks from investment/speculative banking entities, based upon Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Glass-Steagall bill of June 16th, 1933. Up until the beginning of the 1980’s, the principles of Roosevelt’s reform were in place in most nations, in the form of strict regulation, and ensured that the banking sector mainly took on the character of commercial banks, and access to private accounts for risky speculative operations was impossible. As things stood before Glass-Steagall was dismantled in 1999 through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, commercial banks must once again be completely separated from both investment banks and the insurance sector. 2. Commercial banks must be put under government protection, whilst the investment banks put their books in order without any help from taxpayers’ money, which in practice means that toxic paper must be written off in the trillions, even if this leads to the insolvency of the banks themselves. 3. A National Banking system in the tradition of Alexander Hamilton, within the framework of a new Credit System, must provide long-term credit with low interest rates

for productive investments, which would in turn increase the productivity of the economy by promoting an increase in energy-flux density, and in scientific and technological progress. 4. The reconstruction of the real economy should be facilitated through long-term treaties of cooperation between sovereign nation-states, which would launch welldefined infrastructure and development projects in the context of the Mediterranean and North-american plan for an Economic Miracle, seen as a necessary extension of the Eurasian Land-Bridge. These contracts represent a de facto new credit system, a New Bretton Woods system, in the tradition of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The purpose of re-enacting Glass-Steagall and implementing a Credit System is by no means only an improvement of technical details in banking, but rather, how the economy can ensure the survival of humanity over a period spanning many generations into the future, whilst increasing the productive powers from one generation to another. Human beings must once again be at the center, and the very purpose, of economics. We, the undersigned, direct our urgent appeal to governments and parliaments, that they fulfill their constitutional duty and protect the general welfare of the populations they represent, by immediately enacting Glass-Steagall banking separation into law.

The Pacific Development Corridor

Maglev Across the Bering Strait by Benjamin Deniston The construction of the northern components of NAWAPA XXI in Alaska and Canada opens up development programs with massive international implications, linking the United States with East Asia in the creation of a hightechnology, fusion- and fission-powered backbone for a new world economy. A major geopolitical shift towards the Pacific is already underway, with a strong pro-growth orientation in Asia, centered on pro-development factions in China, Russia, South Korea, and Japan. This directionality stands in stark contrast with the stagnation and collapse of the transAtlantic sector. In line with this Pacific orientation, Arctic development is increasingly becoming an area of focus,

with major untapped resource deposits lying in wait, while the melting of Arctic ice is opening up northern shipping routes. The development of the nuclear-thermonuclear NAWAPA XXI system links the United States, Canada, and Mexico into this Pacific-Arctic perspective. However, the critical factor must be continually underscored: The success of the effort fully depends upon the highest levels of technology and energy-flux density achievable. The present physical-economic collapse of the United States is the result of four decades of stagnation and attrition. Living standards have collapsed, industry has been shut down, power per capita has decreased, and aging infrastructure systems are breaking down. The only way to overcome the accumulated physical collapse in the United States (let alone the entire world) is to create greater leaps to higher levels of progress. The United States will already need to partner with these Asian nations for the development and implementation of the fourth generation nuclear requirements of the NAWAPA XXI system itself,[1] but the

NAWAPA XXI is the most comprehensive water and energy management program which will transform the entire continent. Nothing short of a project of this magnitude offers the means to bring about a real economic recovery from the past decades of de-industrialization and consumerism.

[1] The basic pumping requirements of the NAWAPA XXI system will require over 50 gigawatts of power. Additional requirements for desalination systems (up to 42 systems) and power for industry increase the requirement, all in addition to the need to replace existing aging systems. When the requirements of the world population are considered, it becomes clear very quickly that mankind needs a lot of nuclear power, and fast. See "The Nuclear NAWAPA XXI and the New Economy," by Michael Kirsch. 55

implications of the construction and development of the project take the connection deeper, and connecting the North American and Eurasian landmasses across the Bering Strait with high-speed magnetic-levitation (maglev) rail is a keystone. The gap between Alaska and Siberia—the Bering Strait, stretching a mere 50-60 miles—can be connected by a set of tunnels, linking the transportation systems of both continents for the first time.[2] To support the greatest leap in the productivity of the nations and people involved, the most advanced magnetic-levitation rail systems are required. Unlike trains with wheels, maglev trains float above the track, allowing for travel at well

over 300 miles per hour, smoother rides, less wear on the track, and an improved ability to handle steep grades. These maglev systems are a critical element of the new Pacific Development Corridor, connecting the United States with East Asia through a density of hightechnology infrastructure, supporting the advanced development of the entire Pacific coastal basin, including resource development, new agricultural lands, new cities, and new nuclear agro-industrial complexes (nuplexes).[3] Because of the density of high-technology development, centered on advanced infrastructure and a high density of power, this corridor can uniquely enable massive leaps in the productivity of the high-technology space, fission, fusion, machine-tool, and related industries and manufacturing centers needed to support a global fusion economy. From this Pacific trunk line, development corridors can branch off to the rest of the [2] This project has been discussed as far a back as the 19th-Century railroad revolution.

technology industrial base in America. At the other end, the high-technology regions of China, South Korea, and Japan can be linked up on the Asian side, with maglev lines traveling from southern China, to create a loop connecting China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan (through Hokkaido), Russia's Sakhalin Island, the Russian mainland, and back down into China. From this, a connection runs north, through eastern Russia, meeting the maglev Bering Strait connection from Siberia. This East Asia side links the relevant ports, along with the high-technology and industrial centers of South Korea, Japan, and China, including the Russian plans for an advanced space industry complex (along the Svobodny-Komsovolsk corridor) in the region, centered around the new Vostochny Cosmodrome.[4]

world, completing the World Land-Bridge, as envisioned by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Lyndon LaRouche. Thus the Pacific Corridor is now to be the start of a new global economy, both in geographical terms, and in physicaleconomic terms, because the growth factor provided to these Pacific Rim populations and territories is what will make the extensions physically possible. The Pacific Trunk Line The program starts with a focus on the development of the Pacific basin territory. This includes supporting and expanding the already extensive shipping routes, but the end goal of an initial generational investment cycle must guide the policy from day one. On one end, the manufacturing centers of the Midwestern United States and the critical Pacific ports in California and Washington State, can be connected north, into the Canadian and Alaskan regions of NAWAPA XXI, and from there, on to the Alaska side of the Bering Strait, all with maglev rail. This is premised on the role of the Pacific ports in existing trade relations (and their physical-economic implications), and the future role of the Midwest as a new high-

Taken together, this defines an initial functional system, in which high-speed maglev rail and a nuclear-thermonuclear driver can support the development of the Pacific Rim, connecting the high-technology and industrial centers of the United States and East Asia, through the NAWAPA and Siberian territories. However, the key is that the connecting route will not just be an empty transport line. Fast transportation, water, high densities of nuclear power, and abundant untapped resources enable the creation of the most advanced and productive strip of territory the Earth has ever seen. New cities and industries can be constructed along the way, featuring upgraded nuplex systems designed to work with fourth-generation fission reactors and thermonuclear fusion technologies (see"Nuclear Agro-Industrial Complexes for NAWAPA XXI"). The extensive resources available in the Arctic can be developed with the most [4] See "Space Industry Cluster in Russia's Amur Region," submitted by Yuri V. Krupnov (then-director of the Institute for Demography, Migration and Regional Development), presented by his associate, Ilnur Batyrshin, at the Sept. 1516, 2007 conference held in Kiedrich, Germany, "Reconstruction After the Financial Crash," EIR, Sept. 28, 2007. 57

advanced nuclear and thermonuclear technologies, and raw, semi-processed, and processed goods can be rapidly delivered to the high-technology industrial centers at each end in Asia and North America, radiating the effects of a higher level of productivity throughout the global economy. The key is achieving the highest level of energy-flux density accessible, integrated with the most advanced infrastructure systems, concentrated to create a revolutionary leap in the physical-economic productive powers of labor throughout the region . As the world shifts to a Pacific orientation, the Pacific Development Corridor will be the ultra-high-productivity backbone of the new world economy, and NAWAPA XXI with the Bering Strait connection, can be the critical driver to initiate the entire program.

Maglev Systems Germany and Japan have already developed magneticlevitation train systems, while other designs have been proposed by U.S. engineers. While there are variations in the designs, the general principle is to use the power of magnetism to create a continuous gap between the entire train and the track, allowing the floating train to be smoothly propelled electromagnetically at very high speeds. This is powered by the electrical grid (eliminating the need for separate engines and fuel supplies for each train), and because there is no direct contact on the track, there is no mechanical wear and tear, allowing for longerlasting tracks with less maintenance. And difficult weather conditions (such as iced tracks) do not pose a problem to electromagnetic braking and acceleration. Maglev can also travel up and down steeper grades than conventional rail, allowing for much easier travel through mountainous terrain—as encountered in the NAWAPA XXI regions and the Pacific Development Corridor. The German system is called the Transrapid. Utilizing electromagnets to lift the train, Transrapid created a test facility in 1987, but after years of successful demonstrations, the only construction of an operational line has been 58

in China, with the Shanghai Transrapid running since 2004, achieving a maximum speed of 311 miles per hour. In Japan, maglev systems are being developed which utilize a different technology, superconducting magnets. Although they have to be cooled and are heavier systems, the superconductivity allows for a much stronger magnetic lift, creating a larger gap between the train and the track, and the ability to handle heavier loads. In June of 2013, officials at Central Japan Railway unveiled their latest prototype, the "Lo" model, which is planned to begin operations between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2027, operating at 360 miles per hour.[5] While much of the discussion has focused on the applications for passenger transport, the systems can also revolutionize freight and cargo transport. Even the existing Transrapid systems could be quickly altered for freight, while additional investments could produce faster and more advanced second-generation systems.[6] The more powerful superconducting magnets involved in the Japanese design can carry heavier loads, further increasing the possibilities for maglev freight transport.[7] Again, the faster speeds and ability to handle steeper grades and cold climates make these systems far superior to existing wheel -based rail, especially for the terrain of NAWAPA XXI, [5] "Commercial Superconducting Maglev Train on Tracks in Japan," June 10, 2013, LaRouche PAC. [6] "Maglev Trains—Even More Powerful as Freight Carriers," Oct. 1, 2007, LaRouche PAC. [7] "Maglev: Transport Mode for the 21st Century," by Drs. James Powell and Gordon Danby; EIR, Sept. 21, 2007.

accessing Arctic resource deposits, and traversing the length of the Pacific Development Corridor. With maglev, the top speeds are limited not by the magnetic-levitation technologies, but by wind resistance as speed increases. While it will not be worthwhile for freight, ultra-fast passenger transport can take full advantage of the magnetic-levitation capabilities by utilizing enclosed-vacuum or semi-vacuum tubes, removing the air-resistance factor (and trouble with sonic booms), and allowing for speeds of thousands of miles per hour.[8] Special ultra-fast passenger transport could bring people from American urban-industrial centers to those in East Asia in a matter of hours.

The Nuclear-Thermonuclear Driver The highest levels of energy-flux density are required to power this development corridor. While significant amounts of electricity will be needed to support the development of this entire territory, including the maglev lines and advanced industrial sectors on both ends, power sources with higher temperatures and greater heat densities have broad applications beyond electricity generation. The decades-old concept of nuclear-powered agroindustrial complexes must be revived and upgraded. Fourth-generation nuclear-fission reactors provide higher levels of process heat, allowing for direct applications to chemical, industrial, and agricultural requirements, ranging from the production of metals, to fertilizers, to synthetic fuels. Centralizing these processes in a dense cluster maximizes the productivity and efficiency (see "Nuclear Agro-Industrial Complexes for NAWAPA XXI"). Additionally, nuclear desalination and water purification can provide abundant water where needed along the corridor as well (see "The Nuclear NAWAPA XXI and the New Economy"). Even more advanced options are available with fissionfusion-hybrid systems, controlled high-temperature [8] Ibid.

plasma-based systems, and full-scale controlled thermonuclear fusion (see "A Call for an International Crash Program: Creating the Fusion Economy"). High energy-flux-density processing of raw materials closer to the extraction site enables the transportation of higher quality goods, translating to a greater value per ton transported. It also enables the more efficient processing of ores, cheapening the process and making lower -grade and lower-concentration deposits valuable and economically viable resources. These considerations must be placed up front when considering the development of the vast Arctic resource deposits, including the role of strategic Arctic fusionfission nuplex power and processing systems along the Pacific Corridor. For these reasons, it will be critical to locate demonstration and experimental fusion systems specifically along this corridor, with the goal of developing a broad range of fusion technologies. This includes high-temperature controlled-plasma technologies such as the plasma torch, capable of separating any substance (from nuclear "waste," to chemical waste, to dirt, to basic city trash) into its constituent elements, turning virtually any input into useful material. The resulting resources can even be tuned to the isotopic level—providing higher-quality materials than were possible before. To maximize the benefits received from the surrounding infrastructure, and contributions delivered back to the 59

Middle East, two branches reach down into Africa, bringing the same density of development and advanced infrastructure throughout the continent. On the North American side, branches from the main Pacific Development Corridor can expand across the rest of the continent, integrating national and international high-speed maglev rail grids throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. From Mexico, the lines continue into South America across the Darien Gap, connecting the tip of Argentina with the tip of South Africa in a single high-speed maglev integrated productive processes, the initial experimental investigation and development of high-temperature plasma and fusion-related systems should be strategically constructed as part of the Pacific Development Corridor, and within proximity to the advanced industry on both ends, and the resource development along the corridor when appropriate.

Bering Strait and the World Land-Bridge Integrating the NAWAPA XXI, Bering Strait, Arctic Development, and Pacific Corridor projects will provide the needed economic leaps for the nations involved, creating a density of productive potential that will drive the growth of the entire world.

network. The first stage is the development of the Pacific Development Corridor, with NAWAPA XXI and the Bering Strait connection being the critical driver. Done with a fusionfission driver applied to the most advanced infrastructure, industry, and resource development, this high density of high-technology development is the only way to provide the needed physical-economic leaps, overcoming the past four and a half decades of attritional collapse by reaching farther and faster into the future. These are requirements, not options.

Done properly, this can be the physical-economic foundation for a new global economy. Branching off the East Asian side, the northern, central, and southern corridors of the Eurasian LandBridge can be upgraded to maglev and high energy-flux-density development corridors, reaching back into Europe, where the Paris-BerlinVi enna Pr oduct i ve Tria ngle (see EIR, Feb. 2, 1990) can become the high-technology center of western Eurasia.

The Thermonuclear Option:

Extinction or Existence The placement of new strike weapons in the south and northwest of Russia against [NATO] missile defense components, including the deployment of Iskander missile systems in the Kaliningrad region, is one possible way of incapacitating the European missile defense infrastructure.... Taking into account the destabilizing nature of the [NATO] missile defense system ... a decision to use destructive force pre-emptively will be taken if the situation worsens [emphasis added]. This was the warning issued by Russia's highest military official, Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff Gen. Nikolai Makarov, speaking at an international conference on ballistic missile defense systems (BMDS), hosted in Moscow by the Russian government. The twoday event (May 3 and 4) featured Russia's clear warning that it recognizes NATO's planned development of BMDS in Eastern Europe as a strategic threat to Russia, and, more importantly, that it will not back down to such threats. This missile defense conference was timed in an attempt to preempt the NATO summit in Chicago, starting May 20. It included statements by the secretary of Russia's Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, who also emphasized Russia's view in no uncertain terms: "The geographical regions and technical characteristics of these [NATO] missile defense systems create the foundations for additional dangers, especially considering the current and future levels of high-precision armament of the United States.... [T]here simply are no targets for the missile defense shield other than Russia." Rounding off Russia's clear warning that it will not back down, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov described the status of Russia-U.S.A. talks on missile defense as follows:

we will be forced to undertake the necessary military measures."[1] And to underscore the timing of this missile defense conference, Alexander Lukashevich, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, stated outright the deadline that Russia is setting in stone: "I think that the signals sent not only by General Makarov, but also by other senior military officers, were intended to make the participants of the upcoming Chicago NATO summit understand the how serious the situation is and to reconfigure their thinking to take the Russian arguments into account in the further development of their BMDS." At the present moment, due to the failure of the U.S. institutional forces to remove Barack Obama from office for his constitutional violations, we now sit at the brink of conflicts that would rapidly escalate into full scale thermonuclear war. These are not statements of Russia as an aggressor; these are warnings from a threatened Russia being told to submit to the global dominance of a bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial empire. Look at the clear ironies of the present situation (Figure 1). These recent warnings from Russia come in the context of a longer period of such warnings. In November 2011, President Dmitri Medvedev issued similar warnings, and over the past six months, Dmitri Rogozin, earlier speaking as Russian ambassador to NATO, and since December as the Deputy Prime Minister, has repeatedly condemned this NATO activity.

However, the Russian leadership has also proposed an "So far, we have not found a mutually acceptable solu- alternative. tion to the missile defense issue, and the situation is at a dead end.... There is a dilemma facing our countries [1] For further coverage of this Moscow conference see now....

tific conference, "Russia's National Interests in the Context of Global Security."

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dimitry Rogozin

As early as October, Rogozin proposed to break the implicitly thermonuclear showdown over the NATO ballistic missile defense systems by offering joint cooperation between Russia and the United States on both missile defense, and, raising the focus of discussion, on the defense of all of mankind from the threat of asteroid or comet impacts.[2] This has been followed by a pattern of activity coming out of Russia, taking up exactly this issue. On March 2, speaking to a meeting of space experts, Rogozin repeated the need to take up the issue of defense against asteroid or comet impacts. Then on April 26, the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), Vitali Davydov, proposed the creation of a new Russian federal program to address these threats, saying, "Various means of acting on potentially dangerous space objects should be developed and perfected in space, using both powerful one -time actions, and those employing weak influence over long periods of time," and implying the need for international collaboration. Davydov made this statement at a scien[2] See Benjamin Deniston, "As World War Threatens, Russia Proposes 'SDE', " EIR, Nov. 25, 2011.

The keynote speaker at that conference, Nikolai Patrushev, also reiterated the importance of global defense against the threat of impacts, announcing that the Russian Security Council (of which he is the head) is going to, for the first time, place this issue of asteroid and comet impacts on the agenda of its upcoming global security conference (June 6-8 in St. Petersburg). The coverage in the Russian daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta stated: "In addition to the traditional international security problems, entirely new threats will be discussed in Petersburg [in June]. For example, ones such as counteracting the asteroid danger. This is not a joke and not science fiction." If the attendance at this June global security conference is similar to the previous two, we can expect 50 nations to be represented, including China and the United States.[3] This underscores the pattern coming from the top levels of the current Russian government, a refusal to back down under imperial pressure of thermonuclear war, while at the same time offering the United States an

alternative route, one towards collaboration in overcoming the threats plaguing the future existence of all of mankind. But perhaps the most significant factor in this pattern of activity is both the implicit, and explicit, focus on the work of Lyndon LaRouche. Russia's October 2011 "Strategic Defense of Earth" proposal was properly covered by Russia Today (rt.com) as named in an explicit reference to the Strategic Defense Initiative program of the 1980s—of which LaRouche was the key author and organizer. More recently, the online Russian website Terra America has initiated a series of articles focusing on LaRouche [see article, this issue]. In their comprehensive coverage of LaRouche and his activity, they provided, as one Russian specialist described it, some of the most honest coverage of LaRouche's authorship of the SDI to ever come out of Russia.[4] As those knowledgeable in matters of global strategy have stated, the SDI is still, to this day, a living factor of history.

Extinction or Existence There is a common underlying question posed by these threats, both thermonuclear war and asteroid or comet [3] See Rachel Douglas, "Strategic Defense of Earth: Russia To Put SDE at Top of Agenda," EIR, May 4, 2012. [4] This coverage started with an interview with LaRouche, and continues with a series of articles on LaRouche. See, "The SDE and Mankind in the Cosmos," and, "LaRouche Responds to Questions from Russia," in EIR, April 20, 2012; and "Russian Website on LaRouche's SDI," EIR, April 27, 2012.

impacts: Can mankind demonstrate its fitness to exist in this universe? Countless species have come into existence on our planet, and countless have then left—rendered extinct by the forces inherent in a developing and changing solargalactic system.[5] At the same time that Russia is calling out the threat of NATO's BMD systems in Eastern Europe, we also look to the United States' fleet of Ohio Class military submarines, 14 of which are loaded with Trident multi-warhead thermonuclear missiles. Each submarine alone, if fully loaded, has the capacity to deliver from 96 to 192 nuclear warheads (each warhead being either 8 or 40 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945). Some of these submarines are currently deployed in the Pacific Ocean, in positions from which hundreds of locations across Asia can be targeted for annihilation. This is only a part of the total U.S. thermonuclear capacity, not to mention the thermonuclear arsenals of Russia and China (Table 1). Thermonuclear war is unlike any other form of warfare ever to have taken place. It is total annihilation warfare, in which the first strike immediately ensures the last strike, as the first confirmation of a launch on either side triggers immediate full retaliation from the other. Within 63

a few minutes, human civilization could be over. Beyond the hundreds of immediate targets, the carryover effects of hundreds to thousands of thermonuclear detonations would produce a so-called thermonuclear winter, from which we have no guarantee that the human species would emerge. But what does such a power express? Among all forms of known life, mankind is absolutely unique. Whereas all simply animal species are characterized by a fixed, biologically defined mode of behavior, the human species is not defined biologically. Mankind's existence is defined by the scientific and cultural level of our economic activity, in which transitions from one cultural-scientific mode of existence to the next are strictly qualitative transformations (Figure 2).[6] As Lyndon LaRouche has rigorously defined in his science of physical economics, a rough, but very important measure of mankind's advance is the physical economic metric of energy-flux density. A "thermonuclear mankind" requires that we either end warfare as we have known it over the past few thousand years, or we end human civilization by the continuation of such forms of warfare. That is one strategic aspect, but there is another. A thermonuclear mankind also carries, for the first time in the entire billions of years' history of life on our planet, the possibility for the continuation of advanced life in our Solar System's travels through the Milky Way galaxy. [6] For an illustration of this qualitative nature of human existence, see the important new LaRouchePAC Basement report, "The Riemann Project: Economic Reflections," by Jason Ross, at http://science.larouchepac.com/riemann/ 64

Near-Earth Objects as a Step into the Galaxy Take the already mentioned vital issue of defending mankind against asteroid and comet impacts. Despite decades of growing interest (especially increasing over the past 10-15 years), resulting in studies, conferences, reports, and coordinated observation programs, there is currently no serious program to ensure the protection of the human species from even the most basic inevitability of future impacts. The energy released from comet or asteroid impacts can be hard to even conceptualize, and could easily supersede even that of nuclear war, including the global atmospheric effects (Table 2). Based upon our best understanding of the activity within our Solar System, the problem of an impact is not an issue of if, but when. Based on work initiated in the early 1990s, the U.S. Congress has mandated that NASA find, catalog, and track asteroids and comets that have orbits either near to, or crossing the Earth's orbit. These are often referred to as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). Over the past nearly two decades, a loose affiliation under the name of Spaceguard, has coordinated the efforts of telescopes around the world to find, track, and forecast the future orbits of NEOs, including by centralizing the observational data, data processing, and orbital forecasts (often attempting to forecast the NEO orbits 100 years into the future to see if there are any possible impacts with the Earth[7]). This is an important and crucial effort, as far as it goes. However this does not include so-called "long-period comets" (whose orbits take them to the farthest outskirts of the Solar System), which, though rarer, are generally significantly larger and come at us faster. These are currently classified as "too difficult to deal with," and using

present observation technologies, we would be lucky to have a few months to maybe a half-year of advance warning. Six months may sound like a long time, but any current intercept mission, based on mankind's existing spacefaring capabilities, would take many years to design, construct, and execute. Our best defense absolutely depends on early detection and early action. Attempting to move an NEO off an impact course at the proverbial last minute would require an impossible amount of energy. Our planetary defense depends on moving NEOs when they are much farther from the Earth, where a smaller (but possible) effect on their trajectory can ensure that they miss the Earth. Even considering the years of lead time needed to design, construct, and launch an intercept mission, we have to add the time it takes to reach the asteroid (which could also be on the order of years, depending on where in the Solar System we wish to intercept it). In the case of a serious threat, we could obviously attempt to speed up each of these steps, but the point is that right now we are talking about years to just reach a potentially threatening NEO. We still then have to move it. The best chance of moving an object off its collision course depends upon affecting either its speed or its orbit, years before its expected impact date. Because of the immense size of these space rocks, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to affect them, but a small change in either the speed or the orbit of an NEO will cumulatively add up to a larger effect over a longer period of time. The earlier we affect a dangerous NEO, the more of a change we will have made in its trajectory by the time it reaches, and hopefully misses, the Earth.

With the present observation technologies, we may well be able to get decades of warning time for a threatening NEO (at least for the larger ones which are easier to see, though many medium and smaller sized NEOs remain [7] Though numerous uncertainties in the forecasting capabil- undiscovered[8]).[9] This is still only the detection side. Effective defense also requires more detailed characteriity often remain, such as the NEOs' spin and tumble rates, zation of the potentially threatening object (for example mass, composition, solar heating and radiative effects, close its composition, general structure, or spin rate), and a fly-bys of other objects, etc. These can pose challenges to means to alter its trajectory, so we can guarantee that it determining the exact likelihood of a potential impact decades won't impact anywhere on the Earth. Having a detailed into the future. 65

characterization is crucial to any attempt to move an NEO, as some are solid rock, others are referred to as "loose rubble piles"; some spin fast, some spin slowly, etc. These and other properties of a particular NEO will have to be understood in order to determine the best method of affecting its trajectory. There have been a number of proposed methods which could be attempted to alter the trajectory of a threatening NEO. Table 3 highlights some of the more prominent proposals. Among these proposed options there are various benefits and shortfalls depending upon the characteristics of the target object: for example, its size, its composition, and how much time we have to act will determine what options are best suited for that particular situation. Here we must emphasize, despite extensive written reports and concept proposals, and although we have developed many (but not all) of the technologies that would be involved, we have yet to test or demonstrate the capability to deflect a potentially threatening object. To quote from a 2009 report of the International Academy of Astronautics, which summarized a decade of serious research into this subject:

Thus the probability of a successful deflection of an NEO with a single mission using any known concept is far lower than desired, given the likely horrendous consequences of a failure. It is therefore clear that the development and deployment of a robust, multiple option, redundant, coordinated system of multiple and diverse systems is needed; and that the deflection of an NEO cannot be a mission but must rather be a campaign of multiple orchestrated missions.[10] Immediately, years of preparation time can be saved by designing, developing, and demonstrating deflection systems, and creating the international cooperation and structure to achieve these goals. This presents a current challenge for the international community, to take advantage of all existing technologies, space launch systems, etc., and create a defense capability for the entire planet which no animal species has ever had before. Certain significant steps can be initiated in the relatively short term; however, the only way to actually ensure the continued existence of the human species is to engage nations in a very specific form of economic activity known as a science-driver program.

Energy-Flux Density

Given the wide diversity in characteristics of these objects and the continuing dynamics in the NEO population, the certainty of a successful deflection, even if all systems of the [deflection mission] work as designed, is not great. Furthermore, neither today's technologies, nor those likely to be available in the next decade or two lead to systems with extremely high reliability.

The immediate economic crisis that plagues the world, centered on the hyperinflationary bankruptcy of the trans -Atlantic economic region, sufficiently demonstrates the deadly failure of the vast majority of present economic thinking.

[8] A NASA release from September 2011 provides an updated estimation of the total NEO population (based on data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared space telescope), and new estimations of what percentage we have yet to find. See, "NASA Space Telescope Finds Fewer Asteroids Near Earth,"http://www.nasa.gov/ mission_pages/WISE/news/wise20110929.html

Real value, real wealth is produced only by mankind's uniquely creative capability, and its application to increases in man's power in the universe. Lyndon LaRouche's physical economic metric of energy-flux density is a crucial correlative of this power. A mankind embarking upon the mastery of the atomic domain (fission, fusion, matter anti-matter) is simply not the same mankind as one defined by simply chemical modes of action. Therefore, as a fundamental economic

[9] However this is presently not the case for long-period comets, an issued that has been raised by concerned scientists. Again, although they are significantly less frequent, they are generally much larger and are faster. Currently, little or no action has been taken to improve our chances against long-period comets, because the task is deemed too difficult to handle with existing capabilities. 66

It also demonstrates the genocidal nature of the green/ environmentalist ideology generally.

principle, the human species must always engage a limited, but significant portion of its economic activity in task-oriented challenges whose solutions require science and technology beyond the present scope of what is immediately available to mankind. Science-driver programs which increase the range of available technologies are the most effective and useful economic programs available to mankind. They are not just profitable, as the threat of NEO impacts demonstrates, they are absolutely necessary for the continued existence of mankind. Too much of the present planetary defense discussion is characterized by the present economic paradigm of ridiculous budget restraints and obsessive focus on the monetary costs. In response we can obviously present the inevitable cost to life and our planet if we don't develop such defense systems, but there is a more fundamental point to be made. NASA's Apollo program is a prime example of how a science-driver program can transform the entire economy of mankind. After the mission was completed, financial analysts calculated the ratio of the investment made by the government into the Moon mission, to the profits for the economy generally which resulted from the program (focusing on the benefits of so-called spinoff technologies[11]). The Apollo program was probably the most profitable national investment of the century, with some analysts giving a figure as high as a 14:1 payback ratio.[12] The prospect being put forward by the top levels of the Russian government, for collaboration on both missile defense systems—to eliminate the threat of thermonuclear missile exchange—and defense against threatened impacts of asteroids and comets, presents an incredible opportunity for mankind as a whole. If this were taken as a science-driver program, and part of a first step towards man's colonization of the Moon, Mars, and beyond, then, for the first time, we have a truly viable option for the future existence of the human species. On that note, we end with an excerpt from an April 12 interview that Lyndon LaRouche conducted with the new Russian online publication, Terra America: Terra America: How realistic would it be for Russia and the U.S.A. to unite efforts, possibly with other countries, too, for implementation of a Mars program? Does mankind need to colonize Mars?

LaRouche: It is not merely realistic; it is an urgent need of all mankind. Whereas, the factor of national and cultural sovereignty must be maintained during foreseeable generations now before us, the fact that human culture has already reached a point at which general warfare were virtually unthinkable, especially in the presence of an inevitability of thermonuclear weaponry, and, soon higher energy-flux densities, we must be working for the goal of concurrence of efficient national sovereignties and accelerating rates of general development and employment of accelerating rates of increase of energy-flux densities. War as we have known it must be prevented by means of advanced productive technologies, rather than curbing their combined development and employment. To speak of a notion of the colonization of Mars, falls far short of the reality which we must accustom ourselves to foresee. We must approach the process of what some might consider colonization of Mars, by taking into account the challenge assumed by Russia's SDE project. The deployment of systems of management within the Solar System which we require as preparations for human habitations and related activities, can not be competently confined to the localities of a planet, or Solar System. We must begin to clear our minds by taking into account the implications of a thermonuclear-fusion-impelled craft reaching Mars from our Moon within a duration of a week between launch and arrival at destination. That will not be the limit of the needed instrumentation of the Solar System. We must instrument more and more features of the Solar System to the effect that primitive beliefs in a fixed order of space and of time no longer exist for those in times to come, even within our presently advancing century. We should aim to have entered the early phase of man-Mars developments within the range of leading developments to be accomplished within the coming quarter -century”.[13]

[11] That is, technologies that were developed for the space program objective of landing a man on the Moon, but then found many other applications in the economy generally. [12] Again here we must refer to Jason Ross's presentation of the qualitative, not merely quantitative, nature of fundamental economic progress. Simply put, the post-Apollo dollars are not the same thing as the pre-Apollo dollars. Money is a tool and an effect, nothing more. See, "The Riemann Project: Economic Reflections," athttp://science.larouchepac.com/riemann/ [13] See http://www.terra-america.ru/.
