In this issue With the world sitting precariously upon an abyss of nuclear confrontation,

driven by the disintegration of the financial system, we have one last oppor-

tunity to return to our senses. This means bringing an awareness of the true

nature of the crisis to the forefront of understanding within the general popu-

lation at large, and policy makers most specifically. This issue of the Cana-

dian Patriot is designed around two segments. The first segment presents the

consequence of failing to comprehend the inherently self-destructive nature

of closed system thinking which is driving western governments into a suici-

dal collision course with those nations which are rejecting such thinking.

This means that it is necessary to understand the role of the British Empire in

organizing Canada’s recent foreign and internal policy measures and striking

upon the remedy in each report.

Our review begins with a top down overview by EIR editors Nancy Span-

naus and Rachel Douglas on the war buildup underway in Russia and the

USA which define the context of the many detonators spread all over the

world which could bring about global confrontation and chaos. The follow-

ing three reports feature Canada’s largely misunderstood role as an instru-

ment in the British Empire’s global arsenal which is now being used actively

to conduct dirty economic warfare as well as promote actual warfare against

those nations such as Russia and China (among others) which are now boldly

resisting the imperial demands for world government and depopulation.

The second half of the Patriot is defined by a focus upon the principle of

creative reason as it manifests itself in mankind’s ever changing relationship

to nature, and how the realization of this fact must forever throw off the

shackles of “closed system thinking”. The re-defined role of human eco-

nomic planning must be based on this creative principle and measured ac-

cording to the standard elaborated by Lyndon LaRouche since the 1960s

known as “increasing energy flux density”. This transition is made with the

report entitled “Mackinder’s Geopolitics vs LaRouche’s Landbridge”.

We then proceed to an investigation of the incompatibility of the principle of

the general welfare and environmentalism which then introduces the article

“Is Quebec Committing Scientific Suicide?” This report by CRC member

Pascal Chevrier elaborates upon Quebec’s foolish decision to shut down its

remaining nuclear reactor Gentilly-2. Juxtaposed with this is a case study of

China’s frontier program to develop advanced fourth generation Thorium

reactors by 2020 written by Karel Vereycken director of France’s Nouvelle

Solidarité newspaper. To this is added a report on Russian and Argentinian

collaboration for large scale development of energy resources, science and

infrastructure.

We end the Patriot with a transcript of the first of Lyndon LaRouche’s

“Friday Project webcasts” that serves to recapitulate the real reasons true

patriots must now take reality seriously and fight for those policies which

will ensure humanity’s successful survival.

By Rachel Douglas and Nancy Spannaus

EIR- Those who choose to ignore the grim war-

nings of Lyndon LaRouche, Chairman of the U.S.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, and the

Russian leadership, about the imminent danger of

a thermonuclear confrontation between Russia

and the United States coming from the current

U.S.-NATO regime-change efforts in the Middle

East, need only look at the actual military de-

ployments over the past month to see that danger.

The escalation of outright military moves on both

the U.S. and Russian sides, since the fateful mur-

der of Libyan head of state Muammar Qaddafi, a

little more than a year ago, has put the world on a

pathway to destruction which must be derailed

immediately, if mankind is to survive.

The Sept. 23 Sunday evening prime-time review

of the week's news on Channel One, Russia's big-

gest TV network, provides a useful glimpse of

this reality, from the Russian angle, and reveals

its global implications. The show featured a seven

-minute segment on the looming threat of war,

focused on a threatened Israeli or U.S. attack on

Iran, and included footage and maps of the Per-

sian Gulf. Here are excerpts:

"This week preparations were under way in the

Persian Gulf for the possible use of force. Jud-

ging by the concentration of military equipment,

we may turn out to be just one step away from

war. These exercises are taking place in the Strait

of Hormuz, off the coast of Iran. A record number

of warships, in the region's entire history, has as-

sembled there—from over 30 countries, including

the USA, Britain, and Saudi Arabia. Battleships,

submarines, aircraft carriers, including Nimitz-

class vessels with up to 70 fighter aircraft on

board. The participants in these maneuvers do not

conceal the fact that this show of force is addres-

sed to Iran.... Maneuvers on such a scale have

never before been conducted here.... Muscle-

flexing is in full swing, heated up by bellicose

rhetoric".

At this point, Channel One showed the video clip

of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying that

the United States "must stop Iran" from getting

nuclear weapons, by drawing a "red line." "True,

Washington replied that it will decide for itself

whether to draw any red lines. But Israel is insis-

ting, and hurrying them up," the commentator

said.

After discussing various contingencies, such as

Israel not wanting to start a war without the Uni-

ted States while Obama has electoral considera-

tions, Channel One interviewed Alexei Arbatov

of the IMEMO Center for International Security,

a Russian establishment thinktank run by the

Academy of Sciences, who said:

"The situation is extremely explosive. I would say

that it is the most acute that it has been in the past

20 years."

While noting that leading U.S. military officers

are arguing against getting into a new war, none-

theless, Russian TV said correctly, "Wars can

begin through a provocation."

U.S.-NATO on the Move

The Russian TV description of the Strait of Hor-

muz maneuvers, the International Mine Counter-

measures Exercise which began Sept. 16 and run

through Sept. 27, is accurate. U.S. thinktank spo-

kesmen, as well, have noted the extraordinary

firepower being deployed in this maneuver.

It’s Not Just Words: Russian,

U.S. Militaries in Action

5

While the minesweeping maneuver deliberately is

not entering the Strait, an extremely crowded bo-

dy of water where accidental encounter with the

Iranians could well occur, that is no guarantee

against such a conflict. An opinion piece by Was-

hington Post senior columnist David Ignatius,

"Lessons from an Iranian war game," underscored

that point. Ignatius was permitted to observe the

game, held in Washington, and including former

top U.S. officials and prominent Iranian-

American experts, and his conclusion, undoubte-

dly shared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was stark:

"The game showed how easy it was for each side

to misread the other's signals."

For one thing, Ignatius puts President Obama,

whom he assumes has been re-elected, directly on

the side of war. But he leaves it to the reader to

fill in the next step: that a U.S. strike on Iran's

nuclear facility, be it conventional or nuclear, will

inevitably bring in Iran's ally and northern neigh-

bor, Russia.

U.S. and allied military deployments are not sim-

ply occurring around Iran, obviously. The move

for regime change in Syria also represents a flash-

point for the Southwest Asia region,

as Russia has repeatedly pointed

out, and Col. Lawrence Wilkerson

(ret.) elaborated in his answer to a

question on the danger of World

War III, in Rep. Walter Jones' press

conference on Sept. 21 (see Featu-

re). Israel itself, which cannot af-

ford to take military action against

Iran without American guarantees

and backup, held surprise maneu-

vers on the border with Syria just

last week.

And then there's the Asia-Pacific

region, where the recent trip by Se-

cretary of Defense Leon Panetta

resulted in an escalation of tensions

with China and Russia, over his

announcement of an agreement with

Japan on stationing another missile

defense station in that nation. Alle-

gedly, such "defense" stations are

aimed at "rogue states," in this case North Korea,

but, as Russian and Chinese commentaries have

pointed out, Japan is in no danger from North

Korea's capability. The only conceivable reason

for such a deployment is to further the encircle-

ment of China, and, as in the case of the encircle-

ment of Russia, render that nation's defenses

against a first strike impotent. It is for that reason

that, in an unsigned Global Times editorial March

29, Beijing warned that "an overarching missile

defense system would force China to change its

long-held nuclear policy" of no first use of nu-

clear weapons.

There are also moves "on the ground" in Asia

that, while they seem to be merely local skirmis-

hes, could prove to be provocations for larger

confrontations in the current superheated interna-

tional climate, specifically, the conflict between

Japan and China over the Diaoyu/Senkaku

Islands.

Now, let's look at the Russian military prepara-

tions to deal with U.S./NATO moves.

Russian media coverage described large-scale naval exercises in the Strait

of Hormuz (shown here), aimed at Iran, as on a scale never before con-

ducted there: “Muscle-flexing is in full swing, heated up by bellicose rheto-

ric,” noted Channel One.

Russia Practices Response to 'External Attack'

Addressing Russian troops on Sept. 17, President

Vladimir Putin spoke as commander-in-chief.

"You have had excellent training and are literate

people," he told them. "You see what is going on

in the world and how, unfortunately, the use of

force in international affairs is increasing. All of

this means that we must keep our powder dry. We

must increase Russia's defense capabilities."

The occasion was the Kavkaz-2012 (Caucasus-

2012) military maneuvers in southern Russia,

which Putin had just observed. In addition to such

statements, the very nature of these and other mi-

litary exercises being held this Autumn, as well

as the President's focus on the defense sector du-

ring current intense federal budget deliberations,

also make clear that the Russian leadership assu-

mes that its country is threatened, and could be

involved in serious combat at any moment.

Meeting on Sept. 21 with Defense Minister Ana-toli Serdyukov and Chief of the Armed Forces General Staff Gen. Nikolai Makarov, to review the just-concluded Kavkaz-2012 program, Putin termed it "a massive undertaking," which produ-ced good results in testing command and control, as well as weapons systems. Serdyukov detailed that four different firing ranges in southern Rus-sia were used, as well as sea and coastal areas on the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Most incisive was General Makarov's characterization of the exercises as having "two very serious challen-ges," one of them explicitly related to the tense situation in the region.

FIGURE 1 U.S./NATO Military Deployments Around Russia and China

There are indications of Russian attention to the global scope of U.S. BMD planning, that is aimed against both Russia

and China, as can be seen in this map.

7

One part of the scenario involved the potential de-

ployment of the Armed Forces in conflicts within

Russia, while the other was "resolving the problem

of responding to an external attack."

Kavkaz-2012 was preceded, earlier in the month,

by command-staff exercises of the Strategic Missi-

le Forces. Taking place Sept. 4-7, they involved

150 command points and 300 individual weapons

and other military equipment. The official news

agency Itar-TASS reported, based on a press an-

nouncement made Sept. 4 by Ministry of Defense

spokesman Vadim Koval, that the participants

would "hone their nuclear deterrence objectives for

the event of an armed conflict with the participa-

tion of Russia." The term "nuclear deterrence ob-

jectives" refers to the ability of Russia's Strategic

Missile Forces to "deter" a possible U.S. nuclear

first strike against Russia, by their ability to inflict

a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United Sta-

tes.

Koval said that the scenarios involved "nuclear

deterrence in the setting of a threatened armed

conflict with Russia's participation, or during such

a conflict." The purpose of this training, he added,

"is to improve coordination among Strategic Mis-

sile Forces command agencies, as well as the prac-

tical skills of the command staff and operational

groups in directing the military command agen-

cies, units, and troops subordinate to them, inclu-

ding through the use of modern automated com-

mand-and-control systems."

Long-Range Planning

The Russian decision to upgrade the particulars of

these two, related sets of exercises—Kavkaz-2012

and the Strategic Missile Forces training—

evidently followed close on the heels on two

events in late 2011: the murder of Libyan leader

Qaddafi in October; and then-President Dmitri

Medvedev's public announcement in December,

that diplomatic efforts to halt the U.S./NATO uni-

lateral European Ballistic Missile Defense (Euro

BMD) system from going ahead had been unsuc-

cessful, that the Euro BMD was a strategic threat

to Russia, and that it would be countered militari-

ly.

By January 2012, Russian military sources were

making it known that the September 2012 schedule

of military exercises would feature complete, com-

bined-arms integration. In particular, Nezavisi-

maya Gazeta's well-informed military analyst re-

ported Jan. 17 that the Russian General Staff was

mapping out "large-scale staff exercises based on a

possible U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran"; this would

happen in September, and would involve the Stra-

tegic Missile Forces. Furthermore, it was reported

then, the script for Kavkaz-2012 would "differ

from last year's exercises in this series, by being

larger-scale and more closely approximating actual

current military and political conditions," inclu-

ding a scenario of "a possible war by the U.S.A.

and several other countries against Iran, as well as

other possible conflicts in the Caspian and Sou-

thern Caucasus region."

Throughout preparations for Kavkaz-2012, Rus-

sian defense sources described these exercises as

"strategic." Russian and Georgian press reported

that Russia had shifted the physical location of the

training out of the Chechen Republic, in order to

avoid giving Georgia's President Michael Saakash-

vili a pretext for any wild actions. On Sept. 5, RIA

Novosti reported the announcement by another

Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman, Alexan-

der Kucherenko, that Russian airborne forces

would be involved in 10 different exercises during

the month, including Kavkaz-2012, and internatio-

nal maneuvers with Belarus and with the Collecti-

ve Security Treaty Organization. Contrary to popular belief, Russian military capabilities are not to

be likened to a “rust-bucket”

8

Countering Euro BMD

In an interview with Russia Today television,

broadcast Sept. 6, Putin addressed an array of

strategic matters, including the situation in Syria

and in Southwest Asia as a whole. A recurring

polemic in the interview was that people pushing

various scenarios in crisis areas are hell-bent on

their short-term schemes, "and hardly ever think

of the consequences that will follow."

On strategic military relations, Putin said that the

U.S. missile defense system now being deployed,

particularly in Europe, "is surely one of the key

issues on today's agenda, because it involves Rus-

sia's vital interests." He forcefully presented the

Russian understanding that the Euro BMD syste-

m's "ambition is to upset the strategic balance,

which is a very dangerous thing to do, as any par-

ty involved will always strive to maintain its de-

fensive capabilities, and the entire thing could

simply trigger an arms race." As for negotiations

on alternatives to the unilateral U.S./NATO Euro

BMD system, Putin said: "We did what we

could," citing the Russian offers of a joint

missile defense program. "Our partners

are so far refusing to go along. What else

can we do?"

Russia unquestionably is doing a number

of things in response, militarily. Strategic

Missile Forces chief Gen. Sergey Kara-

kayev, who commanded the early-

September command-staff exercises, told

RIA Novosti on Sept. 3 that Russia will

have a new intercontinental ballistic missi-

le deployed by 2018, which is capable of

penetrating the Euro BMD system. "It is

necessary to note the new missiles' ability

to be invulnerable before launch, thanks to

their mobility, as well as their ability to

tackle the task of defeating any possible

missile defense system within the next 15-

20 years, should such a need arise," Gene-

ral Karakayev stated. An article on the

Russia Today website noted that Kara-

kayev's comments show that Russia "is

preparing an asymmetrical response by

developing weapons capable of breaching

the system."

There are also official and unofficial indications

of Russian attention to the global scope of U.S.

BMD planning, as being aimed against both Rus-

sia and China (while it is claimed that this is gea-

red to Iran and North Korea).

Now, the Arctic

The issue of Asian, and even possible Arctic

BMD deployments, came up in the Russian me-

dia, too, in connection with a naval deployment

that jumped into the news Sept. 20, when a heli-

copter based on the nuclear-powered cruiser

Pyotr Veliky, the flagship of the Northern Fleet,

was totalled in a hard landing. What put the acci-

dent in the headlines was where it happened: in

the Kara Sea along Russia's Arctic Coast, near

Kotelny Island in the Novosibirsk Archipelago.

The incident touched off intense public discus-

sion, during which one retired military officer

drew out the world-war implications of U.S. ship-

based anti-missile deployments to Russia's north.

tiple theaters threatening both Russia and China.

In the past, large surface ships have ventured into

this region only if accompanied by an icebreaker,

but lower Arctic ice levels have allowed the Nor-

thern Sea Route to be used more freely. For deca-

des, surface ships of the Northern Fleet have left

Murmansk only to the west, into the Atlantic, ne-

ver sailing eastward along the Arctic coast. Accor-

ding to an article by Victor Savenkov for Svpres-

sa.ru, the last time a large battleship was in the

Kara Sea region was August 1942, when a Ger-

man heavy cruiser sank the Soviet icebreaker

Alexander Sibiryakov.

Svpressa.ru interviewed Russian naval experts on

what the Pyotr Veliky's mission might be in the

Kara Sea, given that it is not an antisubmarine

warfare platform, and the type of surface ships it

would potentially engage do not frequent the Arc-

tic coast. Adm. Valentin Selivanov (ret.), former

commander of Russia's Mediterranean Squadron,

said that, besides taking advantage of the weather

to reach relatively nearby training areas that were

not previously so accessible, a major factor was

"to demonstrate that we are prepared to defend

our interests in the Arctic militarily."

Col. Anatoli Tsyganok, director of the Center for Military Forecasting, told Svpressa.ru that another reason might be the deployment of U.S. Aegis-equipped ships in the Arctic, which would position them within striking distance of "the shortest tra-jectories of our ICBMs to the USA." The Aegis radar/anti-missile system is the main component of the U.S. Euro BMD program, which Moscow identifies as a threat to its strategic nuclear deter-rent. "It is not to be excluded," said Tsyganok, that the Pyotr Veliky's cruise is related to such concerns.

FIGURE 2 Ring Around Russia: Threats to a Great Power That Won’t Back Down

President Putin told a conference on Strategic Nuclear that “nuclear arms remain a truly important guarantee

of Russia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and play a key role in supporting global and regional equilib-

rium and stability

10

"The Americans are developing their

BMD system in the north, just as in the

south. Aegis-equipped ships regularly en-

ter the Bering Strait," he asserted.

"This is a threat to our security. Because

it's one thing if BMD-equipped vessels

appear along our southern borders and in

the Mediterranean, but in the event of war,

Russian missiles will fly to the USA

across the North Pole. So it's another mat-

ter altogether, when such ships show up to

the north of our country, and seek the abi-

lity to shoot down our missiles in the most

vulnerable, boost phrase."

Prioritizing Military Industry

In July, Putin held meetings at his Sum-

mer residence in Sochi, and took tours to

key military areas, for discussions on put-

ting the Russian military-industrial com-

plex into shape. On July 26, he met with officers

and officials in charge of Russia's Strategic Nu-

clear Forces and Aerospace Defense Troops. De-

puty Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin, Minister of

Industry Denis Manturov, Roscosmos head Gen.

Vladimir Popovkin (ret.), and the director of the

nuclear agency Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, were

in attendance, along with Ministry of Defense re-

presentatives. The Kremlin's announcement called

it a "Meeting on Implementation of the State Ar-

maments Program for Nuclear Deterrence," a refe-

rence to the thermonuclear weapons that would be

fired at the United States and its allies in the event

of an attack on Russia.

Earlier, Putin held conferences on implementing

the government's Ground Forces and Air Force

programs. The session on the Strategic Nuclear

Forces was highlighted on national TV, including

Putin's statement that "nuclear arms ... remain a

truly important guarantee of Russia's sovereignty

and territorial integrity, and play a key role in sup-

porting global and regional equilibrium and stabi-

lity." Citing the need for the aerospace defense

system to be "in a constant state of combat readi-

ness, taking into account potential enemies' plans

for developing offensive measures," Putin noted

that "nearly all the nations that possess nuclear

weapons and aerospace assault weapons are wor-

king to improve and develop them.

Russia, he said, has no plans to engage in an arms

race, "but there should be no doubt as to the relia-

bility and efficacy of our nuclear potential, as well

as our aerospace defence system." He said that "a

significant part of financial resources within the

state armament program" will be allocated to up-

grading the Strategic Nuclear and Aerospace De-

fense Forces.

"By 2020 the share of modern weapons in our

Strategic Nuclear Forces should be at 75-80%, and

for Aerospace Defence Troops this figure should

be no less than 70%."

On July 30, Putin traveled to the northern city of Severodvinsk in the Arkhangelsk Region, to speak at a ceremony marking the beginning of construc-tion of Russia's fourth Borey-class nuclear ballistic-missile submarine, and to preside over a meeting on the future Navy construction program. In his remarks, Putin mentioned both the naval compo-nent of Russia's strategic nuclear forces, and the rebuilding of other components of the Navy to defend areas such as the Arctic.

Russian President Putin, addressing troops Sept. 17, on the occa-

sion of the Kazkav-2012 military exercises, noted somberly, “You

see what is going on in the world and how, unfortunately, the use

of force in international affairs is increasing. . . . We must increase

Russia’s defense capabilities.” Putin is shown here (center), ob-

serving the exercises.

11

The program calls for investing about 4.5 trillion ru-

bles (nearly $150 billion) over the next several years,

for the construction of 51 modern surface warships,

16 nuclear attack submarines, and 8 nuclear ballistic

missile submarines by 2020 (2 of which are now un-

dergoing trials). This will allow the share of modern

vessels and equipment in the Navy to be brought to

70% by 2020, Putin said. "Resuming the serial cons-

truction of new-generation ships," he added, "should

go hand-in-hand with modernizing shipbuilding en-

terprises and other defense industry companies."

After these sessions devoted to each of the branches

of the Russian Armed Forces, Putin on Aug. 31 held

a pair of conferences on the strategic dimensions of

economic policy. With Russian government and State

Duma deliberations set to resume in September on

the 2013 budget, under enormous monetarist pressu-

res for budget-cutting because of the world economic

crisis, Putin focused on the absolute priority of resto-

ring Russia's military-industrial sector. Thus, these

sessions on military-economic policy also served to

underscore the tense international military-strategic

situation.

Addressing an expanded session of the Russian Secu-

rity Council, Putin presented the military moderniza-

tion plans as "ambitious," and cited the "record

amounts of money" to be invested in defense procu-

rement and modernization: 23 trillion rubles ($750

billion) over ten years. He acknowledged that "many

of our companies are still in the past century, techno-

logically speaking," and that in the course of more

than three decades, the defense production plants

"have missed out on several modernization cycles."

Later in the day, Putin met with Deputy Prime Minis-

ter Rogozin and Roscosmos head Popovkin to dis-

cuss personnel changes to address the recent rocket-

launch failures.

At the Security Council meeting, Putin also emphasi-

zed the idea, often stated by Rogozin, that the milita-

ry-industrial sector should function as a locomotive

to pull the whole economy along—or, at the very

least, serve as a safe haven, where engineering and

other skilled personnel might be preserved, even as

domestic industry as a whole comes under new pres-

sures such as competition from foreign imports, now

that Russia has joined the WTO, and budget cuts in

the so-called "state order" (government contracts).

Regarding this potential interface between the defen-

se industry and the economy as a whole, the problem

that bedeviled Soviet planners throughout the Cold

War, Putin said:

"Our position is that by creating a modernized and

effective defense industry we can ensure a big

growth potential for the entire national economy. The

bulk of our advanced technology is in the defense

industry, and civilian goods account for more than

30% of the sector's total output. There is steady de-

mand for these goods in the energy, metals, machine-

building, communications, and other industries. This

is not some discovery we have made in this country,

but is the way things work all around the world. The

defense industry has always been an engine pulling

the other manufacturing sectors along behind it. Of

course, a stable and effective defense industry is also

crucial for the prosperity and prospects in life for

thousands of skilled workers, engineers, and desi-

gners. The defense industry brings together 1,353

organizations and companies in 64 regions of the

country, and employs more than 2 million people.

Just think how many that makes if you add their fa-

milies and the people working in related sectors and

so on."

Summarizing, Putin made a startling comparison

with the period of the Soviet Union's first Five-Year

Plans: "In short, we will have to modernize the entire

defense industry and the way it works, and carry out

the same kind of comprehensive and powerful mo-

dernization drive that was achieved in the 1930s."

The implications were not drawn out in this presenta-

tion, but such a "mobilization economy" is very dif-

ferent from the nostrums about privatization and

"improving the investment climate," which are other-

wise being repeated constantly by Russian officials,

including Putin.

Putin said Russia should not hesitate to imitate fo-

reign defense technologies, but having only assembly

plants using imported components would be a "dead

end," so Russia

"should develop complete production cycles, from development through to mass production and spare parts supply, here in Russia. This is the guarantee of our national, technological, and defense security."

By Matthew Ehret-Kump

With the recent announcement by UK and Canadian

foreign ministers that many of the embassies of both

countries shall be melded into single missions, Ca-

nadian-based British agent and media mogul Conrad

Black, unable to control his enthusiasm, has voiced a

revealing op-ed in the right-wing mouthpiece The

National Post. The title of the op-ed reads: "The

British Commonwealth Will Rise Again". After re-

writing history by making FDR appear to be an im-

perialist, and asserting that China's “new imperial-

ism” is meeting resistance with all of its neighbors,

and predicting the breakup of Europe into two teams

(winner and loser countries), Black writes:

"There will be regional powers like Brazil and Tur-

key, but the only other coherent force that could

arise and occupy a role somewhat analogous to a

great power of old would be some cohesive bloc of

Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, India, New

Zealand, Singapore and perhaps a few other Com-

monwealth countries. The talented Australian for-

eign minister, Bob Carr, is capable of advancing

along these lines, and Stephen Harper and John

Baird would do well to explore these possibilities

also".

It is worthwhile to note that while born in Montreal,

Conrad Black is not a Canadian citizen, but rather

100% British. Having received dual citizenship in

Canada and UK in 2002 when the Queen of England

granted him peerage in the British House of Lords as

a reward for his outstanding services to the interests

of the British Empire. Black was confronted with an

ultimatum by then Prime Minister Jean Chrétien

who had intervened with a citation of a 1919 resolu-

tion barring Canadians from being members of the

House of Lords. After a short legal battle which

Black lost, Black renounced his Canadian citizen-

ship becoming Lord Black of Crossharbour.

Since his release from U.S. federal prison in May

2012 after serving 36 months of a 48 month sen-

tence for fraud and obstruction of justice, an unre-

pentant Black has found himself rising again to

part of the Harper conser-

vative apparatus installed

The context of Black’s

fall from power

It appears that Conrad Black’s fall from power in 2006 occurred in the context of a faction fight that had broken out within the Canadian establishment between the Liberal Party faction on the one side and Conservative Party faction on the other.

“The British Commonwealth Will Rise Again”

Where the Liberal establishment was more inter-

ested in maintaining its local interests and local

control outside of British foreign policy inten-

tions, (witnessed by the Chrétien government’s

decision to not participate in the Iraq war of 2002

and Paul Martin’s 1998 successful blocking of

the attempted mergers of four of Canada’s five

largest banks(1)), the Mulroney-Harper anglophile

interests in the Conservative Party had been much

more intent to do the obedient bidding of the City

of London and British Foreign Office. This fac-

tion fight led up to a collapse of the Liberal lead-

ership of Paul Martin, and purging of relevant

Liberal Party controllers from power with the

“Sponsorship scandal” of 2005-06. By 2012, the

federal presence of the Liberal Party has become

almost non-existent, having been hammered by

the 2011 elections that brought Harper’s Conser-

vatives their majority.

The Fall of the Liberals

The Liberal slaughter continues on the provincial

level, witnessed by the loss of one of its last

beachheads with the Quebec election of Septem-

ber 2012 that brought Pauline Marois’ separatist

Parti Quebecois (PQ) to power. The PQ is infa-

mous for their intention to separate from Canada,

their anti-nuclear stance, and cap and trade pol-

icy. Of the two remaining provincial Liberal

power-holds left, British Columbia has found

Liberal support at an all-time low due largely to

the failed HST debacle in 2011. The Liberals un-

der current BC Premier Christy Clark are prepar-

ing to be swept away in favour of the New De-

mocratic Party (NDP) during the upcoming elec-

tions in May 2013. The challenging NDP of Brit-

ish Columbia, just like the PQ of Quebec is in

favour of those resource grabbing policies which

are expedient to the British Empire’s geopolitical

interests (echoing the free market logic of the “fur

trade”), yet push the green agenda of ‘renewable”

energies (except nuclear), and cap and trade. It is

indicative to note that NDP leader Thomas Mul-

cair has just been made a Privy Councillor to the

Queen on September 18 2012, possibly in prepa-

ration to replace the Harper regime in 2014.

During this past year Stephen Harper (Privy

Councillor since 2005) has stepped up the use of

the broad power granted to him via his party’s

majority government, to push through every Brit-

ish policy demanded of him in short order, re-

branding the Canadian military with the term

“Royal”, melding many Canadian and British

embassies around the world, converting Canada

into an official fist of the Monarchy in the execu-

tion of wars with Libya, promoting wars with

Iran and Syria, and falsely accusing Russia of

trying to steal Canada’s arctic sovereignty.

Canada’s role as a chess piece in this “Great

Game” involves returning Canada to its roots as

an aggressive weapon in the Empire’s arsenal, not

seen since the days of the Boer Wars. This colo-

nial function demands Canada act as a subversive

agency to the intentions of nations aspiring sover-

eign development. The accomplishment of this

task involves 1) serving as canon fodder for im-

perial wars abroad, and 2) trapping unwitting na-

tions into reliance upon its abundant cheap re-

sources via the logic of the “fur trade” aka “free

trade”. The question now worth asking is: will

China and India fall prey to the seductive fly trap

of Canada’s natural gas and resources in the con-

text of Lord Black’s nightmarish vision? Or will

they tighten their bonds of survival with Russia

and help usher in a new age of development and

peace?

A third question arises: In the context of an alli-

ance for progress and peace among nations, will

Canada finally throw off the yoke of our imperial

traditions and become a mature republic once and

for all?

(1) On December 14, 1998, then Finance Minster Paul Martin

rejected the major bank mergers of Royal Bank of Canada

with the Bank of Montreal, and CIBC with Toronto Domin-

ion, citing “too much concentration of economic power in

Canada in the hands of too few financial institutions.” Neither

Martin’s role in Canadian policy, nor the Chretien govern-

ment he then operated under should be assumed to be a force

for good. The sense of self-interest, and nationalist tendency

within the party’s elders (while pragmatic more than princi-

pled) should not be missed when evaluating the anomalies

which mark the changes in behaviour of Canadian policy.

By Matthew Ehret-Kump

While Canadian foreign policy has always fol-

lowed the British lead, there have been brief in-

stances of resistance. The cases of the 1970s

sanctions of apartheid South Africa and Canada’s

non-participation in the precursor of the British

Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Iraq War in 2002

spring immediately to mind. However, under

Prime Minister Stephen Harper who took power

in 2006 and now leads a majority government

with those near unchallenged powers enjoyed

with such majorities, the unquestioned obedience

to British endgame geopolitics has never been so

strong.

Though Canada’s cooperation in the defence and

cultivation of the heroin production of Afghani-

stan’s Helmand province had already been under-

way from the beginning of the Afghan war, this

overt military policy became significantly more

aggressive with the Arab Spring in 2011. It was at

this time that Canada committed its military to

provide 10% of the air support and logistics dur-

ing the regime change program that illegally

killed Muamar Qaddafi under the umbrella of

NATO. In hindsight, it was discovered that the

greatest atrocities of this war were not to have

been committed by the disposed head of state, but

rather, by those moralizing forces who conducted

the “humanitarian intervention”, armed radical

Islamists and killed 70 000 innocent Libyan civil-

ians. The official legal precedent for this war was

the anti-nation state doctrine of R2P.

This program was continued with expelling Syr-

ian diplomats and shutting down the Syrian em-

bassy in March 2012, merely weeks after the An-

nan Peace Plan was begun (and later sabotaged),

to the effect that all illusions of Canadian peace-

making and diplomacy was exposed as an illu-

sion. Before Canada, the only nation to shut down

Syrian diplomatic missions was the UK. This ag-

gressive policy was repeated with Canada’s shut-

down of the Iranian embassy in early September

2012 modelled again after the British precedent.

Since Canada’s actions so obediently followed

British geopolitical doctrine from 2006-2012, an

overt branding as British property has been called

for.

The rebranding of Canada

In April 2011, the British makeover officially

began with the renaming of the Canadian mili-

tary. This policy saw Harper pass a law which re-

inserted the “Royal” into all branches of the Ca-

nadian military. Controversy briefly erupted as

Constitutional lawyers and defence specialists

pointed out that Section 15 of the British North

America Act of 1867 states that the command of

the Canadian military is not vested in Parliament,

but rather in the Crown. This mandate was re-

affirmed with Section 14 of the National Defence

Act of 1985 with the words: “The Canadian

Forces are the armed forces of Her Majesty

raised by Canada and consist of one Service

called the Canadian Armed Forces.” University

of Ottawa defence specialist Philippe Lagassé

argued during this time that while the military is

answerable to the Parliament, it is accountable

and obedient only to Ministers of the Crown. Any

lingering denial of this control of the Canadian

military by Ministers of the Crown was highly

shaken.

Embassies Unite:

The British Consolidate their Property

Up until recently, Harper’s rabid anglophilia was consid-

ered little more than a bizarre fetish for onlookers, but has

now blossomed into a global security threat.

15

This was followed immediately by Harper’s renam-

ing the main wall in the Canadian Foreign Office

Headquarters the “Sovereign Wall”, deriving its

name from the gigantic mural sized portrait of

Queen Elisabeth. Not only was this unsightly por-

trait forced into public display in one Ottawa build-

ing, but an accompanying order was passed forcing

portraits of the Queen to be mounted upon the walls

of every Canadian embassy in the world. While

many onlookers watched in bewilderment, the fa-

natic anglophile could still be heard shouting “but

the Monarchy is only a symbol! The British Empire

carries no real power!”

Embassies Unite

As of September 23 2012, many Canadian embas-

sies the world over will no longer simply have Ca-

nadian flags hanging from their flag poles, but

rather the Canadian ambassadors and their respec-

tive staff within and the Canadian Maple Leaf flag

without will now be joined with British ambassa-

dors and the Union Jack. Ministers of Foreign Af-

fairs of the UK and Canada (John Baird and Wil-

liam Hague) have officially announced the melding

of the embassies of

both nations! Ostensi-

bly, this measure is

being undertaken to

save money, but the

true motive for such

overt consolidation of

the British Empire’s

possessions can only

be addressed if one lets

go of all popular illu-

sions regarding the true

workings of the shadow empire maintained by the

London-centered oligarchy. This process is made

the more dangerous as the Empire is not unaware of

the demise of its own monetary system.

In the context of the collapse of the British con-

trolled world monetary system, these policies are

intended to do nothing less then set fire to the entire

African and Middle Eastern worlds, by fuelling

what Samuel P Huntington dubbed the “Clash of

Civilizations” doctrine, to the point of risking ther-

monuclear warfare with Russia and China.

Stephen Harper and Thomas

Mulcair: Agents of the British

Empire.

For those who still believe that the Privy Council of

Canada is merely a relic of old traditions long dead exer-

cising no more control than the Queen, they would do

well to reconsider that view as it is not the people, or

parliament who hold the allegiance of those who are

introduced into its roster, but rather the Queen of Eng-

land.

“I, [name], do solemnly and sincerely swear that I shall

be a true and faithful servant to Her Majesty Queen

Elizabeth the Second, as a member of Her Majesty's

Privy Council for Canada. I will in all things to be

treated, debated and resolved in Privy Council, faith-

fully, honestly and truly declare my mind and my opin-

ion. I shall keep secret all matters committed and re-

vealed to me in this capacity, or that shall be secretly

treated of in Council. Generally, in all things I shall do

as a faithful and true servant ought to do for Her Maj-

esty.”

That both Stephen Harper, as well as NDP leader Tho-

mas Mulcair have taken this oath of allegiance and se-

crecy should send alarm bells in the minds of any think-

ing citizen. This also means that these illustrious men

have joined the ranks with such national disasters and

foreign agents of influence as Maurice Strong, Paul Des-

marais of Power Corporation, Lord Conrad Black,

Prince Phillip of Edinburg, and the current head of the

powerful Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE)

John Manley.

Being a member of this select group does not immedi-

ately prove an individual is engaged in treason anymore

than someone’s participation in a Bilderberger meeting

or freemasonic society. It does however speak volumes

if the person in question is actively carrying out the in-

tentions of a financial oligarchy which has explicitly

stated their intention to reduce the world population

from the current 7 billion to less than one (see

“Environmentalism and the General Welfare Make Poor

Bedfellows on page 21).

Baird and Hague an-

nounce joint embas-

sies in Ottawa.

In 2007, headlines across Canada echoed the spirit

of the Cold war, as Canadian Defense Minister

Peter Mackay screamed that Canada’s arctic sov-

ereignty was threatened and that a greedy resource

grab of valuable Canadian territory had occurred.

Stephen Harper immediately announced plans to

purchase three arctic patrol ships, (later confirm-

ing three unmanned drones) to defend Canada’s

“true north strong and free”. The Russian

‘aggressors’ had to be put in their place. What had

provoked this unbalanced response from a Canada

that had demonstrated no active interest in the

Arctic or its development for decades? As it

turned out, a Russian submarine had placed a Rus-

sian flag near the North Pole along a disputed ter-

ritory known as the Lomonosov Ridge. As facts

would later reveal, the Russian submarine was on

nothing more than a scientific study.

While large components of the abrupt militariza-

tion of the Arctic announced by Harper in 2007,

were put on hold due to the economic crisis that

spiked in 2009, it had not at all disappeared, as we

now find the seeds of this orchestrated tension

springing up yet again. This is evidenced by the

October 5th announcement of the Canadian Geo-

logical Survey and Natural Resources Canada that

1.75 million square kilometres of seabed in the

Arctic and North Atlantic oceans are definitively

the sole property of Canada. These claims are the

substance of a multi-thousand page submission of

25 studies submitted in October to the United Na-

tions Convention on the Law of the Sea

(UNCLOS) which had adopted “a new formula”

for determining national coastal boundaries in

2003. Nations had been given 10 years to conduct

studies and submit claims for expanded territory

beyond the current 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) off

coastal land. If these claims are approved, then

Canada’s current area of 9.9 million square kilo-

metres will increase by 20% (or the size of Que-

bec). Two of the most important territorial claims

involve the Alpha Ridge mountain extending past

the North Pole, and the other is the Lomonosov

Ridge.

The Seeds of World War Begin to

Grow

Today, as tense hotspots have been built up in

Syria and Iran, which could easily unfold into a

nuclear showdown between Russia and China

pitted against NATO countries, a less understood

component to the orchestration of general war

exists in the domain of territorial conflicts around

the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.

This strategy cannot be understood unless the reader comprehend that the only opposition to a new British Empire (one world government) is to be found in the coalition of Russia, China and Argentina.

The “New Canada” Imperial Arctic Makeover:

Will Increased Canadian Arctic Territory be used to Provoke War with Russia? By Matthew Ehret-Kump

17

These three nations have made their full national

policy commitments center on the right to national

sovereignty, international cooperation, technologi-

cal progress, and have committed to effective war

avoidance measures ever since the assassination of

Libya’s President Gaddafi. Nations of the “non-

aligned” movement representing over two thirds

of the world population have rallied strongly

around these three pillars.

In the Pacific Ocean, Japan’s brash nationalization

of the five uninhabited islets (known by Japan as

“Senkaku” and by China as “Diaoyu”) has re-

sulted in an international crisis pitting China

against Japan. China faces the danger of another

territorial conflict sparked by the the President of

the Philippines who decided late in 2011 that the

South China Sea should be re-named the “East

Philippines Sea”. What most media reports leave

out when discussing these hot spots, is that both

the Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, as

well as the Japan President Noda, have both

agreed recently to host U.S. military bases as part

of the new Air-Sea battle plan designed around the

containment of China and documented in La-

RouchePAC’s recent feature film Unsurvivable

(1). This military strategy has seen two U.S Ohio

class submarines deployed to the Pacific theatre,

each packing Trident nuclear warheads.

Other more official British colonies such as Aus-

tralia are being used to contain China within the

new “Air-Sea Battle Plan”, as Australian PM Julia

Gillard has agreed to host two US military bases

on its territory which Chinese military officials

have identified as representing direct strategic

threats. Due to the new UNCLOS measures, Aus-

tralia has recently expanded its undersea territory

by 2.5 million square kilometres (or 1/3 its total

land area) in 2008.

As small minded (often unwitting) pawns of the

British Empire do the Matriarch’s dirty work on

the Pacific theatre, the British military has sprung

into aggressive direct action in the Atlantic as a

response to Argentina’s recent re-affirmation that

the Malvinas Islands are (and have always been) a

part of Argentina. Indeed, the Islands were in fact

stolen by the British Empire during the early 1833

war with Argentina, and have been maintained as

a British colony ever since. The British response

to Argentina’s claim has been to 1) reject all Ar-

gentine offers of dialogue and 2) deploy a De-

stroyer battleship and one of its four HMS Van-

guard nuclear armed submarines to the coast of the

Malvinas (which they continue to call the

“Falkland’s”). The irony in this instance is that

Britain’s basis for its military deployment is cen-

tered on its accusation that Argentina is acting like

a “colonialist”. This absurd accusation persists,

despite Argentine President Christina Kirchner’s

insistence of the fact that Britain’s continued

claim of the Falkland’s remains illegitimate ac-

cording to the UN Special Committee on Decolo-

nization.

The Consequences of Ignoring

Reality

One year after Russia was scorned by Peter Mac-

kay and Harper for

trying to “steal Can-

ada’s arctic sover-

eignty”, Russia had

found itself the sub-

ject of an attack by

Soros’ Georgian pup-

pet president Mikheil

Saakashvili in 2008.

Saakashvili’s attack

on Russia’s protector-

ate in South Ossetia

resulted in a brief war that ended five days after

having begun. Saakashvili attempted to illegally

claim South Ossetia as Georgian territory. At that

time, Georgia was not a part of NATO, and had it

been, all relevant NATO members would have

been drawn into that conflict in Georgia’s defence.

Today, Saakashvili has been replaced by yet an-

other billionaire puppet that has made Georgia’s

admission to NATO a primary objective.

With literally dozens of explosive powder kegs

placed all around the world which couldn’t exist

as detonators for war were it not for the belief in

resource ‘scarcity’ and monetary rules to which

our behaviour and thoughts must conform, the

world is sitting on the edge of a self-imposed ex-

tinction.

By Jonathon Ludwig

American economist Lyndon LaRouche’s propos-

als for a Eurasian Landbridge and Russia’s current

proposal for the Bering Strait Rail Tunnel connec-

tion from Vladivostok through 100 km of water to

Alaska and into Canada are not new. These vision-

ary proposals are a long time in the making and

have represented a tormenting nightmare to sev-

eral generations of imperial geopoliticians.

By the turn of the 20th century, Russian Transport

Minister Count Sergei Witte working in tandem

with American System leaders and engineers in

Siberia were completing the final stretch of the

Trans-Siberian Railway. This development fol-

lowed 1) hot on the heels of Lincoln’s victorious

suppression, with the help of Russia’s Czar Alex-

ander II, of the British financed Confederate upris-

ing in 1865, 2) the 1867 United States purchase of

Alaska from Russia, and 3) the near annexation of

British Columbia into America in 1870 (1). The

feasibility studies to connect the two continents

were first presented by the Trans-Siberian Railway

Company in 1905 (2). The British Empire at the

time was known as “the old man of Europe” and

in all intents and purposes was on the verge of

extinction.

Mackinder’s geopolitics demands a closed

system

In 1904, as a

response to these

developments,

British Fabian

Society member

and director of

the London

School of Eco-

nomics Sir Hal-

ford Mackinder,

formulated a

s c h o o l o f

thought known

as Geopolitics.

This study has

influenced all

imperial strate-

g i s t s w h o

emerged from

the 20th century

from Rhodes

scholar William

Yandell Elliot, his Harvard students ‘Sir’ Henry

Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Bernard Lewis as

well as Samuel P. Huntington to name a few. It

was also the foundation for the Heartland theory

extolled by Nazi geopolitician Karl Haushofer and

adopted by Hitler.

Mackinder’s program was little more than a refor-

mulated “divide to conquer” policy already prac-

ticed for centuries by the British Empire, and

arose entirely as a response which the threat Lin-

coln’s American System program of rail develop-

ment posed to the continued existence of the fail-

ing British Empire as mentioned above.

Mackinder’s Geopolitics versus LaRouche’s World Landbridge

(1) Were it not for Britain’s offer to bribe BC merchants during a

heated period of 1867-1870, all onlookers from Canada and the USA

alike believed that this British colony was nearly about to incorporate

into America, as this provided the only economically viable options

available for the bankrupt colony. The Transcontinental railway had

just been built into San Francisco and an active ferry system connected

the BC merchants to the USA. The British had to move fast and did so

by 1) paying off British Columbia’s massive debt, and 2) then purchas-

ing the massive territory separating its eastern and western colonies

also known as Rupert’s Land and owned by the Hudson’s Bay Com-

pany in 1868 and 3) finally promising to build a railway connecting

BC to Eastern Canada which was accomplished in 1885. The only

condition was that British Columbia join the Confederation and not

choose the American option.

(2) Funds totalling six million dollars were raised privately,

concluding the project could be done for $300 million. An

editorial in the New York Times of October 24th, 1905, ob-

served that “the Bering Strait Tunnel is a project which at

some time in the future is likely to command a great deal of

very purposeful consideration.”

Sir Halford Mackinder summarized

his theory: “Who rules East Europe

commands the Heartland; Who rules

the Heartland commands the World

Island; Who rules the World Island

commands the World."

19

Not only did rail pose a threat to the Empire, but the

advent of the new energy dense fuel source known

as petroleum was threatening to replace the largely

monopolized (and less energy dense) coal for indus-

trial production.

From Japan’s Meiji Restoration, to Chancellor von

Bismarck’s “Berlin to Baghdad Rail” initiative, to

R u s s i a ’ s T r a n s -

Siberian Railway, inter

-continental develop-

ment driven by Ameri-

can System rail pro-

grams were initiating

new dynamics of coop-

eration and develop-

ment amongst all na-

tions of North Amer-

ica, Europe, Russia and

Asia. Most impor-

tantly, these pro-

deve lopment ap -

proaches to national

e c o n o mi e s w e r e

founded on the con-

certed rejection of all

British Free Trade

dogma and the vigor-

ous adoption of the

protective tariff, pro-

ductive credit and long

term planning, all act-

ing under the principle

of the general welfare.

To their horror, the British Empire was witnessing a

worldwide emergence of the American System.

After successful expeditions to the South and North

Pole had been accomplished by 1909, Mackinder

declared, like Malthus before him that all that could

be discovered on the Earth had been discovered, and

that human society was now officially locked within

an absolutely closed system. All that remained was

for leading monopolies to map out finite resources,

and get victim nations to slaughter each other in

territorial disputes that would necessarily occur as

the outcome of each striving to possess as many of

these “finite resources’ as possible before they ran

out. This would be achieved by getting nations to

look at the future not from the American System

standpoint of their creative potentials to change

those limits for the better, but rather from the mone-

tarist free market filter of pleasure-pain and momen-

tary profit. Were the bestial dynamic of each against

all not adopted, all hope for world domination

would be lost.

Mackinder’s theory was expressed most clearly in

his observation: "Who rules East Europe commands

the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands

the World Island; Who rules the World Island com-

mands the World."

Reality is an Open System

In the logic of empire, nations must be kept fighting

each other in a closed system of absolute scarcity.

Rather than creatively moving outside of those lim-

its by discovering new principles of the universe,

and creating new energy sources such as nuclear

fission, thermonuclear fusion power, or desalinating

ocean water to green deserts, nations have been

told, rather arbitrarily, that ‘scarcity’ has to be re-

spected and, like beasts, adapted to in a survival of

the fittest paradigm.

Lincoln admirer von Bismarck

was among the many world

statesmen importing the Ameri-

can System by the end of the

19th century. His ouster would

lead to the unleashing of World

Wars 1 and 2. See the film 1932

for the full story.

Empire’s orchestration of World War one, then check out:

20

This logic has been used to manipulate idiots with

political power into initiating almost every single

un-necessary war during this past century, and

governs the geopolitical thinking that is resulting

in potential territorial conflict the world over to-

day.

According the BP Statistical Review of World

Energy 2011, this past year has witnessed the

greatest drop of nuclear energy use on record

(with a 4.3% fall) while coal has become the

world’s fastest growing fuel (totalling 30.3% of

global use). While “green energies” such as wind

and solar power have risen by 25.8% and 86.6%

respectively, their combined total contribution to

global energy consumption is a measly 2.1%.

The energy required to produce “renewable” en-

ergies far outweigh their output while the wasted

land area required to sustain them is not only bad

economics, but it is more importantly, the sickly

effects of a community of nations turning their

backs on 600 years of progress and embracing an

ideology which will permit no more than one bil-

lion humans living in political, mental and physi-

cal conditions not terribly different from feudal-

ism.

Today, new energy sources await the political

will to overcome those boundary limits met by

our current addiction to fossil fuels and ineffi-

cient green “renewables”. On top of the prospect

of connecting Eurasian countries in a “New Silk

Road” known as the World Landbridge and Ber-

ing Strail Tunnel, the new frontier defining Mack-

inder’s fraud is located in the prospect of un-

bounded space exploration, lunar and Mars in-

dustrialization and asteroid defence.

None of these are “utopian fantasies”, but rather

active policies either already being applied by

leading nations such as China and Russia, or be-

ing offered by leaders among those nations such

as Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry

Rogozin’s offer for Strategic Defense of Earth

(SDE), and Russian Transport Minister Yakunin’s

Bering Strait proposal.

The effect of continuing to tolerate the limits we

find imposed upon ourselves as a species, will

entail not only undoing the industrial revolution,

but also ushering in new wars with the use of

thermonuclear weapons, risking the extermina-

tion of humanity.

LaRouche’s World Landbridge is already becoming a reality in Eastern Russia and Asia. Will

the rest of the world wake up in time to get on board?

By Matthew Ehret-Kump

When the consequences of a gambling addiction

catch up to the addict, were his immediate re-

sponse not to seek help, but to sell his children, the

future for that family would become bleak indeed.

This response is pitifully tragic when committed

by any individual, but criminally insane when

committed by the leadership of national govern-

ments entrusted by the people with the care of the

common good.

Although criminally insane, it is specifically this

mindset which is the driving force behind Fed

Chairman Ben Bernanke’s recent unleashing of

another (QE3) bailout, Obama’s calls for gutting

Social Security and Medicare in order to raise the

debt ceiling, and the similar behavior of bailouts

and fascist cuts being demanded by the IMF and

ECB in Europe. In the midst of this torrent of in-

sanity, the voice of the people is increasingly call-

ing for the abolishment of speculative monopoly

money and returning to national banking programs

under a global Glass-Steagall reform (1).

To exacerbate this crisis even more, we find that a

global policy is being implemented on the behalf

of the British Empire’s Inter-Alpha Group (2)

through their control of the Green movement to

crush those last remnants of frontier science which

humanity still has at its disposal, and which, under

a new system could be mobilized to build our way

out of this multi-generational crisis.

It has long been understood by the Empire and its

opponents, that it is functionally in the domain of

science and technology that mankind’s true role as

a unique species of unbounded potential expresses

itself, and in that fact, so too melts away any so-

phistical justification for the existence of the para-

sitical system of oligarchy, which rather seeks to

keep humanity enslaved as cattle in fixed systems

of “zero growth”. This anti-science (and anti-

human) intention expressed by controllers of the

Green movement such as Prince Philip, involve

bringing humankind’s population to levels

‘acceptable’ to a governing elite according to

mathematical models known as ‘carrying capac-

ity’.

As Plato once warned, it is the desire for one`s

shackles that maintains a slave more effectively

than forcing shackles upon him. Hence, it has also

been that long term intention to bring society’s

behaviour and values into conformity with an oli-

garchical model that is the underlying cause of

Germany’s suicidal decision to exit from nuclear

by 2020, Harper’s selloff of AECL and Obama’s

abolishment of the manned space program. The

causal intention is nothing less than those geno-

cidal effects which will result from such policies.

The Green-Blue Paradox

This context must be kept in mind when consider-

ing the new phenomenon sweeping the Canadian

political landscape between two irreconcilable

movements. That is, the marriage of labour and

environmentalism which is manifesting itself most

clearly within the New Democratic Party (NDP)

and Quebec’s Parti Quebecois (PQ) as of this writ-

ing. The argument for a “green-blue” marriage is

based not on science but rather on the fallacious

assumption that man-made activities and CO2

emissions are the primary drivers for global warm-

ing and must be halted at all cost. The only solu-

tion to this non-existent problem proposed by

those powers attempting to orchestrate the mar-

riage involve the drastic elimination of those

means of sustaining advanced civilization via:

Environmentalism and the General Welfare Make Poor Bedfellows

1) Reduction of high energy density technologies

such as nuclear power

2) The elimination of CO2 emissions via new specu-

lative cap and trade programs and

3) The advancement of low energy dense power sys-

tems such as wind, solar, geothermal and tidal power

which lack the power density to sustain the industrial

needs of a technologically advanced, population

dense mode of society.

All three factors are designed to have one common

objective: The reduction of the world population

from the current 7 billion to less than 1 billion. This

policy was outlined in blood curdling detail in the

recent report by the Scientific Advisory Council of

the Federal Government of Germany on Global En-

vironmental Changes (WBGU)(4)whose director

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber was recently quoted as

saying: ``In a cynical way, it's a triumph for science

because at last we have stabilized something--

namely the estimates for the carrying capacity of the

planet, namely below 1 billion people. What a tri-

umph. On the other hand, do we want this alterna-

tive? I think we can do much, much better.'' It is no

wonder that Schellnhuber was awared Commander

of the British Empire by Queen Elisabeth in 2004.

To any humanist, the contradiction in the attempted

marriage of labour movements which support the

general welfare and anti humanist environmentalism

is blatant. The awareness of this contradiction was

made evident in the heated fight during the 2011

Vancouver NDP convention, between the true labour

and green factions, who fiercely battled over the at-

tempted greening of the Party constitution, replacing

principles of “social justice” with “conservation”.

While that amalgamation of green-blue was success-

fully resisted then, a new wave has begun, with the

same desired effect.

The arguments which attempt to justify the un-

natural alliance are not merely fallacies, but actually

reflect a moral disease festering in the minds of the

Canadian people which must be overcome quickly.

The reality is that the entire world system is in the

last throws of a general collapse whose causes are

largely to be found in the unwillingness of the politi-

cal leadership to confront the Inter-Alpha Group`s

immense stranglehold over our national economies.

As Lyndon Larouche has been saying for decades;

nothing within the monetarist logic will solve this

type of physical crisis. Nothing short of a fundamen-

tal abolishment of the artificial rules of monetarism

in favour of a return to clean Hamiltonian banking

practices on a global level will open any pathway to

a future worth living in. That means that no opinions

justifying budget cuts, hyperinflationary bailout, or

green population reduction as “solutions” to this cri-

sis shall be respected as legitimate.

A Lesson from Physical Economy

In the science of physical economy, we learn that it

is mankind’s increasing power within and over the

universe which is the invariant metric of value. Not

money. Interestingly, it is not only a characteristic

of human life which expresses this potential of crea-

tive anti-entropy, but contrary to the popular delu-

sion now taught in schools, the universe as a whole

exhibits this same power of constant self develop-

ment. Moving from energy sources of lower flux

density to higher flux density as we see with the

leaps of wood to coal, coal to uranium, and beyond

in human society represents the same function ex-

pressed in lower orders of life developing new tech-

nologies such as chlorophyll, and permitting for

greater metabolic activity of life on earth (see fig-

ure1 on next page).

This increase of powers of energy to accomplish

increased work is known as energy flux density in

physical economics. The truth of this power unique

to the human condition is one which necessitates our

total abolishment of all forms of energy policy

which have the effect of:

1) Reducing our power to act on the universe

through forcing a decrease of energy flux density

2) Reducing human population growth

3) Reducing our intensive expansion of global in-

vestments into all anti-inflationary (and anti-

entropic) activities of the type outlined on the

www.larouchepac.com/infrastructure page.

(4) World in Transition : A Social Contract for Sustainability.

Read the whole misanthropic report on www.wbgu.de

23

In fact, the only power source

with the energy flux density

adequate to support the perpet-

ual growth of these three fac-

tors at once, is to be found in

the domain of third and fourth

generation nuclear energy, ther-

monuclear fusion, and eventual

Matter-Antimatter processes.

Each increase of power upward

must be subsumed within a

higher Moon to Mars (and be-

yond) colonization outlook.

Windmills, and solar panels

offer only self destruction (5).

It is this optimistic outlook and

the associated means of actual-

izing its aims, that not only

built the best aspects of our

civilization (which are now suf-

fering from neglect, privatization, and cuts), but

which will again be the efficient power behind our

still possible survival. The participation of a re-

formed Canada in an alliance of sovereign nation

states for the passage of a global Glass-Steagall, fol-

lowed by a return to fixed exchange rates as de-

scribed under LaRouche’s New Bretton Woods re-

mains a possible third option beyond that of chaos,

and despotism now being offered to the credulous.

Market forces be damned, humanity

comes first.

The means thus established for a Hamiltonian credit

system usher in the next question:

How can labour return to its roots as an uncompro-

mising defender of social justice, and scientific and

technological progress which have defined our na-

tion’s best character for generations? How can Cana-

dian labour help kick start the re-industrialization of

ourselves and our neighbours abroad, using the most

advanced science and technology for the common

good of all?

This bold change in paradigm could not be done for

monetary profit, nor to appease market forces, and

not possibly to ‘make jobs’. This change could only

occur with the understanding that it is the creative

powers of human cognition which permit for the

increase of humanity`s power over the universe and

is expressed formally as a measure of our potential

relative population density.

Today, no source of energy existent aside from nu-

clear fission and thermonuclear fusion will ever per-

mit for the equitable increase of those material stan-

dards of life to levels high enough to supply the dig-

nity and freedom so necessary for those creative

powers of our species to express themselves, and

with them, the necessary and moral precondition for

self-government.

If we succumb through ignorance, or inaction, to the

monetarist and environmentalist propaganda by re-

jecting those frontiers of nuclear energy and space

exploration, it is not merely the financial oligarchy,

but ourselves that will be judged guilty of the geno-

cide that will be unleashed.

By Pascal Chevrier

The use of nuclear power is neither a political nor

an ideological issue; it is the most powerful scien-

tific-economic breakthrough that occurred during

the 20th Century. The scientific and physical eco-

nomic aspects of nuclear power have not been ac-

knowledged by any of Québec’s political leader-

ship. The political parties have shown no under-

standing of these attributes whatsoever. Our con-

cern is that ignorance on this important matter is

not confined to the political class. This is why we

submit the present article to the scrutiny of all our

fellow citizens.

As humanity is confronted with the biggest finan-

cial-economic crisis it has ever experienced and a

set-up for potential world war in the Middle East

cockpit, we citizens must choose to either sink with

this dying system into a new global dark age or af-

fect an evolutionary change that is lawfully crafted

on the anti-entropic behaviour of our universe. The

latter would assure our common survival, but

meanwhile, contradictory decisions are being made

by our political leaders…

Case Study: The Shutdown of Gentilly-2

The recent statement by Parti Québécois (PQ) lead-

ers calling for closing the Gentilly-2 nuclear reactor

comes as no real surprise as it was already a known

intention of the party, specified in their latest elec-

toral platform (1). The official declaration was made

two weeks after the September 4th election of a PQ-

minority government, without a rational explana-

tion of the decision other than the green ideological

fad of so-called “renewable” energies and some tax

money-saving rhetoric. In fact, the majority (three

out of five) of Quebec’s political parties running for

the last provincial elections had already written nu-

clear energy out of Quebec’s future. While both the

Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ)

were advocating the refurbishment of the nuclear

plant; they were doing so for the wrong small-

minded reasons. The closing was made official as

of October 3rd by Hydro-Quebec’s CEO Thierry

Vandal and will take effect at the end of 2012. Ob-

viously, distrust and anger has been growing espe-

cially from the families of the 800 specialized em-

ployees that will be losing their jobs due to the

shutting down of the power plant.

With the intention of panicking the public into ac-

quiescing to the shutdown of Gentilly-2, a docu-

mentary was aired on September 17th on Chanel

Télé-Québec entitled Gentilly or not to be(2). Noth-

ing grandiose has to be said about the documentary,

which began with footage of nuclear bomb explo-

sions, as the intent was clear: who could trust an

energy source of that type? Then paranoia sets in

with a barrage of frightening reports on the dangers

of radiation, possible catastrophes that could hap-

pen in the future, the complications of waste dis-

posal, environmental contamination, stillbirths,

etc…

Once upon a time, Quebec could have been a leader

in nuclear technology. Hydro-Québec’s plan in the

1970s was to build about 30 nuclear reactors along

the St. Lawrence River, an opportunity missed

when the PQ government of the time voted to in-

definitely halt the construction of new nuclear

plants.

updates/2012/September-18-2012-Gentilly-or-not-to-be.cfm

to set the record straight the Canadian Nuclear Security Com-

mission (CNSC) wrote the short report on every falsehood in

the documentary.

Instead of putting wind-

mills close to their

plants, the nuclear

industry should fight to

educate people on the

principle of energy flux

density.

25

Both succumbing to, and encouraging the hysterical

fear promoted by the environmentalist lobby sur-

rounding the dangers of nuclear technology, it was

arranged that dams were to be built in James Bay and

Manicouagan region instead. Quebec then became a

world leader in hydropower systems although the

dream of having a nuclear powered Quebec was

dropped and forgotten.

It is important to note that the arguments for exiting

nuclear, and replacing it with lower grade energy

sources such as wind and solar are founded upon the

unscientific fallacy that energy must only meet house-

hold “electricity” needs. But nuclear technology is not

only about providing electricity. It has many other

purposes. Carbon-14 is used to date archaeological

findings; medical isotopes are used for either imaging

and/or therapy. Recall the crisis of shortages which

occurred when Ontario’s Chalk River reactor (which

produced more than 50% of the world’s medical iso-

tope needs) had to be shutdown for over a year. Nu-

clear is a denser form of power that can be used to

desalinate water, to procure new isotopes, and power

heavy industries which could never exist under lower

“renewable” energy sources.

The Empire: making a bloodless killing

Since the end of World

War II, many organiza-

tions have been founded

by individuals formerly

associated with the

eugenics society’s lead-

ership, many of them

crown-bearing. They

decided that their Empire

would prevail through

new ways of making

population reduction ac-

ceptable to their dumbed

down subjects. Their

choice of re-introducing

eugenics thinking back into society was “wildlife con-

servation” or if you prefer, “environmentalism”. After

years of propaganda that has shaped popular opinion

into believing that mankind is the environment’s top

enemy, this ideology has now become a new

“Malthusian” dogma whose mantra has become

“don’t feed the poor/ save the environment”! The pro-

development and anti-war policies of two Kennedy

brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. were sabotaged

and turned into an anti-human religion as the world

economic system was transformed with the 1971 de-

struction of the Bretton Woods System into a clash of

two mutually contradictory polarities. Short-term fi-

nancial profits under a monetarist ideology were set

up on one side and an anti-science population reduc-

tion ideology on the other. These assassinations, of

the political and moral leadership of the 1960s, were

meant to usher in a new paradigm of cultural pessi-

mism.

The Club of Rome and other think tanks have pub-

lished books like “The Population Bomb”, “Global

2000” and “Limits to Growth” to warn of impending

doom if the world’s population is not culled rapidly.

Today, in 2012, Prince Philip, the Queen’s consort,

and his financiers’ acolytes still promote a maximum

“carrying capacity” of the Earth of less then 2 billion

people. The most important tool this oligarchy has, is

our uneducated fear. This ignorant fear can lead not

only to the denial of the necessary technologies for

third world countries to develop, but also a destruc-

tion of those similar advanced technologies so neces-

sary to our own survival. Since the shift into “post-

industrial consumerism” that followed the countercul-

ture revolt of 1968, western culture has almost en-

tirely lost the idea of producing for the needs of the

future, choosing instead the immoral path to hell

founded on the baby boomer motto of “live for to-

day”.

The insane fear of radiation

The illustrious physicist Edward Teller used to joke

that a man would get more radiation from sleeping

with two women than living next to a nuclear plant.

Though you may or may not find this image offen-

sive, it is still nonetheless true. Radioactivity perme-

ates every inch of our universe. It is in the food we

eat, in the soil we step on, it is emitted from the Sun

that shines upon us and even originates from the cells

in our own body! The doses of radiations we receive

from artificial sources –such as nuclear plants- are

infinitesimal in comparison. For example: “Every

year, Canadians are exposed on average of about 1.8

millisieverts (mSv) from natural background radia-

tion. This means that in one year, residents living in

Trois-Rivières and Bécancour get 900 times more

radiation from natural background radiation than from

the man-made radiation of Gentilly-2 (3).”

(3) Ibid.

Martin Luther King and Ro-

bert F. Kennedy represented

a vision of optimism that had

to be destroyed to save the

system of empire.

26

Some might ask the question “What is the dose of

radiation that’s normal for a human being?” There

is no satisfying answer that anyone can give be-

yond a certain minimum and maximum bracket.

Some argue, supporting their statement with LNT

(4), that any exposure to radiation is harmful, re-

gardless of what the doses may be, and therefore

such people will develop a sophistry that will con-

clude that, “half the dose of radiation will cause

half the amount of cancers”. These are clearly

simplistic views that reflect a profound ignorance

on the part of the interlocutors. Not only is a cer-

tain amount of radiation necessary for life, but low

dose radiation within certain bandwidths has been

proven to both extend longevity and combat can-

cer!

Don’t buy gold… Increase energy

flux density!

An elementary question that must be asked is:

What gives value to anything? Whether we are

looking at gold, wood or even uranium, from

where and to what end does its value arise? Think

of our old relative, the caveman. What did he

value? What was useful to his survival? Some

tools, yes, but what is the principle permitting for

the power of tool-making? What is behind the

bronze and iron ages,? What made them possible?

It is important to get this question right, since

these new tools were more valuable to our ances-

tors and to human civilization than any precious

mineral or metal. What is the underlying principle

that carried out these discoveries? Creativity is our

human gift, and the concepts applied and en-

hanced every time a fundamental discovery is

made is what we call the concept of energy flux

density (5) , or otherwise the principle of fire devel-

oped at length by Lyndon LaRouche in many of

his economic papers (6) for over 50 years.

Energy flux density is the standard by which en-

ergy production must be studied and must define

which form of energy among a given spectrum of

choices is selected by society. Physical economics,

the modern science founded by Gottfried Leibniz

in the 17th century, was developed around the

concept of steam-powered machines applied to

enhance the work of mankind while alleviating the

need for capital intensive human or animal labour.

The per capita and per square kilometre output of

energy is the valid measure to understand which

energy production will be able to power cities of

two thousand or two million citizens. The readers

should look at a very good study on the subject for

more extended data (7). Using this criteria we must

come to recognize that nuclear fission power is an

unbeatable option in today’s world, as it is orders

of magnitude higher in output than wind, solar and

fossil fuel-powered plants. Modern society neces-

sitates a shift towards an atomic renaissance.

(4) The linear no-threshold model (LNT) is a model used in radiation

protection to estimate the long term, biological damage caused by

ionizing radiation. It assumes that this damage is directly proportional

to the dose at all dose levels.

A fuel bundle 500 mm long, 100 mm in diameter

and weighing 22 kg could be carried in an over-

night bag. When put in a CANDU reactor, it can

produce as much energy as burning about 400 tons

of coal or 2000 barrels of oil (8). … wind and solar

energy are not calculable under these metrics (9),

but in terms of power potential, are orders of mag-

nitude inferior. Quebec’s energy makeup is hydro:

94.8 %, fossil fuel: 2.6 %, nuclear: 2.1 %, wind:

0.3 %, biomass/wastes: 0.2 %. That is to say, that

1 nuclear power plant (Gentilly-2) generates al-

most ten times more power then 393 windmills!

How much land(10) is wasted on a technology that

will only fuel a new dark age?

Speeding up the Renaissance

While this article is being written, Japan has an-

nounced that it is not only reopening closed nu-

clear plants (all but three of Japan’s 54 reactors

were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima

hysteria in 2011), but is also launching the con-

struction of new ones. The nuclear renaissance is

also on its way in Russia, China, Argentina and

India as their governments have declared war on

the short-term, anti-science thinking so popular in

the West. Advances in new technologies such as

thorium-based fission reactors, fourth generation

systems and advances on thermonuclear fusion are

being made by nations which possess an intention

to assure stable sources of energy production, and

durable growth for the coming centuries. Every

society, in order to prosper, needs to increase its

energy input/output without any absolute upper

limit in order to survive durably. That is not an

ideological statement. It is simply the science of

development and a fact proven by the experience

of human history.

We, in the West, have to decide if we shall partake

in this Renaissance and help it ignite faster or at-

tempt to throw sand on the embers. Already some

promising projects are underway such as Bel-

gium’s Myrrha (11) , which could eliminate the

term “nuclear waste” by transmuting the radioac-

tive elements into new non radioactive material.

Canada’s CANDU reactor technology is already

found in 6 other countries around the world. Can-

ada was among the first to advance the science of

the atom, and we need to save this legacy. The

new isotope economy lies before us.

Any questions? Let’s do it !

By Jonathon Ludwig

Many onlookers who understand that the core of the Brit-

ish Empire’s program for depopulation and the subversion

of the nation-state leans upon its control of the environ-

mentalist movement, have found it somewhat paradoxical

that British puppet Stephen Harper has made headlines

this summer by passing sweeping reforms under the C-38

“omnibus” bill, which has overturned decades of environ-

mentalist legislation designed to stop development in the

name of “wildlife conservation”. This reform has thus

opened up new corridors for streamlined resource extrac-

tion across the board. British sponsored environmental

groups have been abandoned, and have been screaming all

across Canada, but with very

little resistance from the oppo-

sition NDP which has up until

now represented the voice of

Green in Canada. In fact, in the

weeks before and after being

sworn in to the Queen’s Privy

Council on September 18 2012,

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair

has uncharacteristically come

out defending both the Alberta

oil sands, as well as the new

Enbridge pipeline to the Pa-

cific.

Why the anomalies?

Conservative Natural Re-

sources Minister Joe Oliver, speaking to a group of Asian

businessmen has promised that Canada hopes to build

infrastructure to liquefy and export nine billion cubic feet

per day of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Asia through

five proposed coastal plans. With the building of new

pipelines from Alberta and BC to the Pacific starting with

Enbridge, and China’s existential need for fossil fuels for

its survival, the risk of China falling prey to the addiction

of Canada’s cheap resources is very real. The British of

course, are intent on loosening the bonds of survival

which have thus far held Russia and China together

against the British drive for World War and are deploying

every asset available to do so. This fact is especially perti-

nent as the schism deepens between China and Australia

due to Australia’s hosting two U.S. military bases antago-

nistic to China. As China currently imports a vast portion

of its natural gas needs from Australia, we must ask: Is

Canada being set up to replace Australia’s role as sup-

plier of China’s natural gas needs? Surely, the arrival in

Ottawa of a new Chinese ambassador, who was formerly

posted in Australia provides one clue. The additional hype

surrounding Canada’s “comparative advantage” relative to

Australia’s in exporting natural gas published in the

KPMG 2012 “Competitive Alternatives” report is another.

The proposal by state owned China National Offshore Oil

Co (CNOOC) to purchase Canada’s Nexen gas company

for $15.1 billion should be viewed within this greater con-

text. If this deal, now held up in court due to the fact that

CNOOC is a state owned company, should pass, a flurry

of other state owned energy companies primarily from

Asia and the Middle East promise to follow with similar

purchases with Korea, Kuwait, India and Malaysia already

topping the list. According to BP’s Statistical Review of

World Energy Report of June 2012, of all remaining pri-

vate global (not state controlled) oil reserves, 62% are

found in Canada’s oil sands. 10.6% of overall world oil

reserves are in Canada.

It is appropriate here to point out, that were it not for the

demand from Asia’s markets, the “Plan Nord” set in mo-

tion by the now fallen Quebec Liberal Party of Jean

Charest never would have begun. Quebec is now engaged

in applying the “Alberta oil sand” model of resource ex-

traction under the $80 billion PPP investment into opening

up Quebec’s resource rich North. Just like the Alberta oil

sand model, the Quebec model entails zero nation build-

ing, but is based entirely upon the logic of converting min-

erals into money as fast as possible within the closed-

system logic of “market theory”.

Were the “Three Power Alliance” of Russia, China, and the USA adopted in the short-term however, coinciding with a global Glass-Steagall reorganization of the finan-cial system, would not only stymy the threat of World War, but usher in a nuclear renaissance as well. If Can-ada’s thorium rich soils were tapped and an advanced liq-uid salt nuclear crash program following China’s lead were adopted, geopolitical manipulation around human-ity’s reliance on finite fossil fuels would no longer be used to the advantage of the British Empire as it is now, but rather an unbounded potential for growth would be real-ized and the creation of new resources for the benefit of all would be the result.

The Paradoxical Case of Britain’s Attack on its own Green Movement in Canada

Privy Council member

Thomas Mulcair has

begun his unlikely de-

fence of the oil sands and

Enbridge pipeline.

29

As of October 2, Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau

has announced his candidacy for the leadership of the

Liberal Party. With his press release announcing his

inner circle of advisors, it must be said here and now

that Justin is off to a very bad start. The first of the two

advisors that send off alarm bells is none other than Ted

Johnson, who was not only his father’s executive assis-

tant, but also served as Vice President of Paul Des-

marais’ Power Corp. in the 1990s, handling the damage

control during the disastrous “UN Food for Oil” pro-

gram.

Joining Johnson is Justin Trudeau’s old McGill Univer-

sity debate partner Gerald Butts, who is returning from

his former role as Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s

principal Secretary, having overseen the disastrous

Green energy initiatives of McGuinty’s government, to

handle his young protégé. Butts’ qualifications for his

Ontario job rested heavily on the fact that he was and

remains President and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund

Canada (WWFC). The Malthusian WWF was founded

by Prince Philip, Sir Julian Huxley and Prince Bernhard

of the Netherlands in 1961 as part of the British Em-

pire’s policy of making the “unthinkable once again

become thinkable” as Sir Huxley wrote in his 1946

founding document of UNESCO(1). The unthinkable of

course, is “the important science of Eugenics”, which,

in the eyes of these oligarchs, was given ‘terrible pub-

licity’ when their “Hitler project” (begun and controlled

largely as a British-Wall Street initiative until 1937)

failed them. It is no coincidence that former Nazi SS

officer Prince Bernhard is also the founder of the infa-

mous Bilderberg conferences which began in 1954 to

advance the cause of one world government and de-

population. Both Ted Johnson and Gerald Butts were

participants in those very conferences (1983 and 2007

respectively).

The WWF Canada was given new powers to influence

national policy as part of Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s revo-

lution in “greening Canada” from 1968-1984. These

reforms, which included the creation of Environment

Canada, a mass of green legislation, and new financing

support systems for NGOs such as WWF, Nature Trust,

and Conservation International, have had a devastating

impact in arresting all serious development projects in

Canada as well as representing a frontal attack on the

universalizing sense of optimism that NASA’s Apollo

landing on the Moon represented, especially for Cana-

dians who took great pride that their newly founded

Canadian Space Agency partook of this great endeav-

our.

These Pierre Trudeau-era programs have served to stunt

Canada’s development as a sovereign nation-state on

the one side, and keep Canada locked into the Power

Corp.-enforced trap of the free trade (aka: “fur trade”)

exploitation of resources for prices that often fall below

the cost of production, demonstrated by such monstrous

policies as NAFTA.

Power Corp. has been directly linked to every major

leader of the Liberal Party since Pierre Trudeau, and

that includes Conservative Brian Mulroney who re-

cently helped found the Asia Power Corp. to attempt to

control the energy program of Asia. This roster of re-

cent Liberal leaders include Jean Chrétien , Paul Mar-

tin, as well as current interim leader of the Liberal Party

Bob Rae, whose brother John Rae currently serves as

the Executive Vice-President of Power Corp. as Paul

Desmarais’ right-hand man. Paul Demarais is also a

Privy Councillor to her Royal Highness Queen Eliza-

In light of these revelations, perhaps the Liberal Party

would do well to not be seduced by the star power of

young Justin and arrange for a competent leader with

more substance to take on the important role of leading

Canada into the future.

By Karel Vereycken, Nouvelle Solidarité, France

While recent announcements by French Ministers

Arnaud Montebourg and Delphine Batho loudly

proclaimed that nuclear power will remain “a sec-

tor with a future”, President Francois Hollande

just confirmed that in the name of “ecological and

energetic transition”, France would be closing the

Fessenheim nuclear power plant. He also repeated

his commitment to cutting French generated nu-

clear energy from 75 to 50%, following Ger-

many’s lead to exit the field by 2020. Having pro-

duced the likes of Marie Curie, Paul Langevin,

Pierre Mendès-France and Charles De Gaulle,

France has always played a pioneering role in this

domain. It is therefore ever more tragic that this

great world leader in nuclear science has fallen to

such a low that its politicians are trying to sell the

idea that France could become a world nuclear

leader in “plant dismantling”!

In parallel with the ASTRID demonstrator

(Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for In-

dustrial Demonstration) steered by the Commis-

sary for Atomic Energy (CAE) of France, a team

from the National Center for Scientific Research

in Grenoble (NCSR) have reworked the concept of

the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) associated

with thorium, one of six research options retained

in the context of the Generation IV forum. Tho-

rium 232, a metal three times more abundant in

nature than uranium, when exposed to a source of

neutrons, for example in the core of a European

Pressurized Reactor (EPR), can be “fertilized”. It

is then transformed into uranium 233 and will be-

come in turn, a fissile fuel. While India intends on

using it as a solid fuel, MSFRs are based on the

use of a molten salt (lithium or beryllium fluo-

rides), serving simultaneously as a coolant, a fuel

and a first barrier of containment. Molten salts are

also used in solar panels and fuel cells.

The Ideal Reactor

But there is more. The MSFR is a real «all-in-one»

kit: a high-temperature reactor whose efficiency is

superior to most of today’s reactors and its heat

allows for seawater desalination. As a regenerator,

it allows for the multiplication of the fuel while

crushing waste accumulated by the civilian and

military nuclear sectors. The reactor is easy to in-

terrupt, thanks to a passive security system and

operating at ambient pressure, it could never turn

into a new Chernobyl. Better yet, with the MSFR,

half lives of waste are scaled down to 300 - 500

years, far from the today’s waste half lives reach-

ing millions of years.

This concept, developed and tested in the 1960s in

Oak Ridge, USA, was abandoned by President

Richard Nixon for reasons which we would ironi-

cally consider a benefit today. For one, it didn’t

produce enough military-quality plutonium. To

this, was added the fact that the U.S. Marines had

chosen water-pressurized reactors for all their nu-

clear submarines, an option also taken by West-

inghouse for the vast majority of its reactors built

throughout the world for the civilian sector.

The Chinese offensive

While nations of the west spread doubts and fears

of this vital technology while chopping their budg-

ets, China is patiently getting ready to move for-

ward in giant leaps and bounds. For China, the

aim is not simply to have about one hundred clas-

sic reactors produced between now and 2030, but

to become a world leader in the cutting edge

“nuclear of the future”, efficient, ecological and

much safer than anything yet created. To this must

be added the aim of gaining a large degree of en-

ergy independence. It is ironic to note that in

2010, 95% of uranium consumed in China came

from imports, while due to the abundance of rare

earths in its soil, the country is blessed with con-

siderable reserves of thorium.

Is China on the road to becoming the world leader in the nuclear energy of the future?

31

In January 2011, the Chinese Academy of Sci-ences (CAS) had announced that it would launch a vast project of R&D for thorium-associated MSFR. Three months ago, in June 2012, the American Department of Energy (DOE) signed an agreement of cooperation on this matter with CAS. It is Chinese academician Jiang Mianheng (son of former Prime Minister Jiang Zhemin) who is co-director of the steering committee. He also led the CAS delegation that came to Oak Ridge to discuss the MSFR with former American research-ers.

One Billion Invested

On August 6th, 2012, Ken Chun from CAS, gave

a presentation at Berkeley University in California

about the China’s MSFR program. In short, Mr

Chun revealed that China has invested 350 million

dollars (some estimates assert billion) in the con-

struction of two experimental reactors. Although

CAS has hundreds of research centers, the main

contributor is the Shanghai Institute of applied

Physics (SIAP). China already built a facility

that could welcome 500 researchers, engi-

neers and technicians, which currently oper-

ates molten salts loops. The first reactor will

be studied in detail in 2013. Built in 2014, it

will reach criticality(1) by the end of 2015.

This first 2 MW reactor which will use tho-

rium in a solid fuel form will be cooled by

molten salts. The second reactor, also 2 MW,

will reach criticality in 2017. It will use a

molten salt liquid fuel. For now, many details

are still to be worked out. In any case, ac-

cording to the success of those prototypes,

China will then develop a steering program

with a reactor of approximately 10 MW, fol-

lowed by a demonstration program with a

reactor of approximately 100 MW.

China’s objective is not simply to produce

those reactors, but to guarantee itself the intellec-

tual property rights linked to the implementation

of this technology. Commercially, China is mov-

ing to outpace everyone else. Although in the

United States, Canada, England and France, a

modest awareness is gradually taking shape

among researchers, to this day, the Chinese pro-

gram is the most important national initiative con-

cerning an industry that will permit, not only the

creation of medical isotopes but also the produc-

tion of hydrogen for fuel cells and the mass desali-

nation of water.

Of utmost importance, the development of these

advanced reactors will ensure that a condition out-

side of the current logic of “diminishing resource

returns” is created. In this thorium driven econ-

omy China will not be forced to rely upon those

scarce fossil fuels now monopolized by a handful

of cartels steered by the London centered financial

oligarchy. As nations allied with China such as

Russia, India and Argentina are also realizing that

their mutual survival depends upon vigorous nu-

clear programs in order to become fully energy

self sufficient, it can only be hoped that other na-

tions of the west learn their lesson, drop the geno-

cidal practice of “green economics”, and “de-

nuclearization” and return to the highly dense en-

ergy sources such as Thorium which a modern re-

industrialized society requires.

(1) Criticality refers to the point at which the nuclear

fission reaction becomes self-sustaining, with the num-

ber of neutrons generated through fission becoming

equal to the number of neutrons absorbed or which es-

cape the reactor.

EIR- During their Summer meeting at the G-20

summit in Mexico, Russian President Vladimir

Putin and Argentine President Cristina Fernández

de Kirchner mapped out several strategically im-

portant areas in which the two governments want to

broaden their cooperation which has driven the

British Empire wild.

Putin also invited Fernández to use the occasion of

the September 2013 G-20 meeting in Moscow—

Russia is now the President of the G-20—to spend

several days in Russia for a state visit to really get

to know the country. Fernández invited Putin to

visit Argentina as well.

According to yesterday's Russia Today, the two

heads of state discussed hydrocarbons and nuclear

energy, transportation and railroad development,

and agriculture and agro-industry as key areas for

greater cooperation. There are reportedly negotia-

tions already going on in Moscow and Buenos Ai-

res by relevant officials in each of these sectors.

Officials from Russia's Gazprom announced from

Moscow that they intend to contact the new leader-

ship of Argentina's recently-renationalized YPF oil

firm to discuss a specific work plan for cooperation

in the exploration, exploitation, and distribution of

natural gas in Argentina, with the goal also of col-

laborating with YPF throughout the Mercosur

(Common Market of the South) region, which in-

cludes Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay.

Gazprom is especially interested in working with

Argentina to exploit the enormous Vaca Muerta

shale gas deposit in the Patagonia, in offshore ex-

ploration of Argentina's continental shelf, and also

in several joint oil projects inside Russia.

Cooperation in nuclear energy is also a top agenda

item. Officials from Rosatom, Russia's nuclear en-

ergy agency, are already in discussions with leaders

of Argentina's NASA, the agency that oversees re-

actor construction, as well as with the state-run

technology company INVAP, to evaluate Russian

participation in the building of the two new fourth-

generation reactors that Argentina wants to build.

Crucial also is

the invitation

that Argentine

officials have

extended to

Russia's state

railroad com-

pany to partici-

pate in the

modernization

of Argentina's

railroads. A

delegation of

Russian offi-

cials from that

agency is ex-

pected to visit Argentina shortly to begin negotia-

tions both with public and private sector leaders.

Projects include improving and upgrading certain

specific lines with new technologies, as well as re-

vitalizing the railroad machine shops that have been

used historically to train and upgrade personnel.

But large projects, such as a bi-oceanic railroad and

construction of underground lines, are also on the

agenda.

Putin would like Argentina to provide the technol-

ogy and know-how to help develop Russian agri-

culture and beef industries, including breeding ani-

mals and marketing. Argentine technical and agro

experts are already planning trips to Riazan and

Smolensk to begin work in these areas. Argentine

assistance in the processing and marketing of soy-

beans is another area of cooperation that has been

discussed among business groups in both countries.

Argentina is a key supplier of soy to Russia and

China.

Saudis Officer Leading Syrian Rebels Killed in

Idlib: Another Sign that the War is Already Re-

gional

Oct. 14 (EIRNS)--Not only is the British Empire's Saudi Arabia

arm building up and funding and supplying the neo-Salafi terror-

ists against Syria, the Saudis are directly on the ground fighting

the war against Syria. The Arabic paper, Al Alam, reported that

Syrian government troops have killed a Saudi military officer in

the northwestern province of Idlib, about 73 kilometers south of

Aleppo. Russia's RIA Novosti picked up the story on Oct. 14,

and identified the Saudi officer as Mohammad Salem al-Harbi,

saying he was killed in heavy fighting on Saturday. The direct

involvement of a Saudi officer leading the Syrian rebels is just

another indication of the spread of the war to a regional war that,

with the action by NATO member Turkey, in bringing down a

Syrian airliner on its way from Moscow, also directly confronted

Russia.

In a series of interviews and statements, Russian Foreign Minis-

ter Sergei Lavrov said, following the airliner incident on Oct.

12, that Turkey had refused to allow Russian diplomats to speak

to Russian citizens aboard the flight.

Russia has proposed an emergency military-to-military channel

of communication between Syria and Turkey to avoid any fur-

ther hostile incidents that can lead to all-out war, to a NATO

confrontation. While the Syrian government has welcomed this

proposal, Turkey has not responded.

Meanwhile, the London Telegraph has put out a story -- not

confirmed -- that the UN Security Council's envoy to Syria,

Lakhdar Brahimi, is drawing up a plan for a force of 3,000

peacekeepers to ``enforce a truce'' in Syria. However, even the

Telegraph notes that there are almost no possibilities for this

plan to succeed: Major Arab countries are excluded because they

are already supporting the rebels, and the British and U.S. would

not be acceptable because of their role in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only sure way to stop the fighting is to force the Saudi-

Turkey-Qatar pipeline of weapons and fighters to be closed

down immediately. But this pipeline of death is open courtesy

of British agent Obama and the British Empire.

Russia Demands UN Mandate for Cooperation on

Afghanistan

Oct. 11, 2012 (LPAC)--RUSSIA reacted immediately and

sharply to the NATO decision, announced this week, to continue

NATO's deployment in Afghanistan after the official withdrawal

date of 2014. Nikolay Korchunov, Russia's acting ambassador to

NATO, responding to written questions from Reuters, said that

"an international mandate" was "a pre-condition both for carry-

ing on the operation and for our cooperation with NATO on that

issue post-2014." He specified, that "international mandate"

meant a new Security Council resolution.

While Russia has clearly been in support of the Afghan mis-

sion, to the extent it is aimed at controlling the devastating drugs

and terror exported from the region, and has played an indispen-

sable role in transport of supplies and people, the Putin govern-

ment is making a point of principle: It is the UN which estab-

lishes the international rule of law, not NATO or particular

countries. [NBS]

Russia Will Intensify Its War on Afghan Drugs,

From Space

Oct. 13 (LPAC)--Russian scientists and engineers are develop-

ing new state-of-the-art Earth remote sensing technologies that

can fly on its Resurs series of satellites, in order to pinpoint

farms that are growing illegal crops. These high resolution hyper

-spectrometer instruments would be able to identify drug crops

to within one meter, Russia Today (RT) reported Oct. 11th.

The spectrometers, with 196 channels, or spectral lines, that

can be measured, would be able to effectively discriminate be-

tween different plant species. ``Plants, in composition, are

slightly different, and, therefore, can be identified in different

regions of the...[electromagnetic] spectrum,'' Andrei Shokol,

director of the Russian Research Center for Earth Operative

[Observation] Monitoring, told RT. U.S. technologies have fo-

cused on tracking the activities and infrastructure of Latin

American drug cartels, to help interdiction. This system would

zoom in on finding the crops in the fields.

It is estimated, RT reports, that more than 30,000 people die

every year in Russia due to illegal drugs. They estimate that

Afghan farmers produce 90% of the world's heroin.

Tony Blair in Illinois on the Obama Campaign

Trail

Oct. 13 (LPAC)--Earlier this week, Tony Blair, HMS Opera-

tive, was in Decatur, Illinois, "on the campaign trail for Obama,"

as reported by the London {Daily Mail} yesterday. Blair's ad-

vance schedule is being kept secret, per usual. But, as the {Mail}

notes, in May this year, Blair was acknowledged as an official

adviser to the Obama Presidential re-election drive, and would

be campaigning for him.

On October 11, Blair was at the Chicago City Hall, meeting

with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a cohort since the 1990s, in impos-

ing Trans-Atlantic imperial policies. Blair attended a meet-ing in Chicago of the Zurich Advisory group.

In Decatur, Blair was photographed with two other Obama

campaigners, the Desperate Housewives castmember, Eva Lan-

goria (who spoke at the Democratic Convention in September),

and Warren Buffett's son, Howard Buffett, who has been given

the philanthropo-fascist franchise to appear as the friend-of-the-

farmer. Blair was attired in down-on-the-farm denims and plaid.

Last night, Lyndon LaRouche stated during his Friday Project

webcast, when discussing Obama's British Empire pedigree as a

"trained, controllable puppet," that, "First of all, if you are obser-

vant, you know that the British Queen controls Obama, totally!

She created him, she controls him, she has her man, Tony Blair,

sitting in Chicago making sure that the Obama machine is in

conformity, and they control money. They also have British

money, which comes from some places in Britain, where it's

basically drug money...."

U.S. Intel Denounces Obama's Effort To Place

Blame on Intelligence Community

Oct. 12 (LPAC)--The Romney Presidential campaign has posted

the following press release on its website, issued by former CIA

director Michael Hayden and former Secretary of Homeland

Security Michael Chertoff:

"During the Vice Presidential debate, we were disappointed to

see Vice President Biden blame the intelligence community for

the inconsistent and shifting response of the Obama Administra-

tion to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. Given what has

emerged publicly about the intelligence available before, during,

and after the September 11 attack, it is clear that any failure was

not on the part of the intelligence community, but on the part of

White House decision-makers who should have listened to, and

acted on, available intelligence. Blaming those who put their

lives on the line is not the kind of leadership this country needs."

Media and Financial Vultures Launch New As-

sault on Argentina

Oct. 12 (LPAC)--The so-called Global Editors' Network (GEN),

based in Paris, prominently backed by the vulture fund lobby

group, American Task Force Argentina (ATFA), has just issued

a fraudulent "alert" to world media to protest against President

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for issuing an alleged

"intolerable threat to press freedom," aimed at the Clarín media

monopoly.

In reality, the call is a ratcheting up of the international cam-

paign by City of London-affiliated media outlets and financial

predators such as ATFA, aimed at overthrowing the Argentine

President to reverse an economic policy the City of London finds

so offensive. Clarín, in league with the daily {La Nacion},

speaks for those same British-loving financial interests which

have been whipping up opposition to the government, creating

an environment of violence and threats targetting the President

personally.

The GEN argues that the Clarín media goup, which it absurdly

calls "independent media," is under attack simply because it is a

"critic" of the government. But, this "independent" Clarín not

only owns 240 cable-TV stations, 10 radio stations, and four TV

channels; it also owns the country's only newsprint company,

Papel Prensa, which CEO Hector Magnetto, in collaboration

with executives of {La Nacion}, reportedly took over from the

Graiver family in 1976, by conspiring with members of the 1976

-83 military dictatorship. Graiver family members were subse-

quently jailed and tortured, and executives of both dailies still

face trials for human rights violations.

In keeping with the new national media law, Clarín has been

given until Dec. 7 to break up its monopoly or face auctioning-

off of its licenses to other media.

LaRouche Friend in Philippines Covers Helga in

Rhodes

Francisco "Kit" Tatad, an advisor of former Philippine President

Ferdinand Marcos, a Senator, a long-standing friend of La-

Rouche, and more recently an advisor to current Vice President

Binay, was a speaker at the Rhodes conference, as was Helga

Zepp LaRouche. In his regular column in the Manila Standard

today, Tatad quoted Helga on the danger of war driven by the

collapse of the financial system:

"Some worthies at Rhodes were genuinely concerned that hav-

ing accurately predicted the transatlantic meltdown long before it

occurred, they might again be proved right about their apprehen-

sions of a Middle East war erupting not in some distant future,

but in the short term. `The accelerating collapse of the transatlan-

tic system is exerting such intense pressure on the dynamic driv-

ing the danger of war that humanity could crash into a brick

wall,' the global activist Helga Zepp-LaRouche told the closing

session of the Dialogue. "The US and European liquidity expan-

sion measures have led to a hyper-inflationary printing of

money, with its life-shortening effect upon millions of people in

Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. It threatens to plunge Europe

into a firestorm of unprecedented proportions,' she said.

"That may alarm," Sen. Tatad continued. "But it needs to be

said and somebody has to say it, for the war drums are getting

louder. Iran says it is committed to a policy of nuclear energy for

all, and nuclear weapons for none. At Rhodes, support was ex-

pressed for a nuclear weapons-free zone. Yet at the 3rd Singa-

pore Global Dialogue earlier in September, a coldblooded aca-

demic suggested the time to hit Iran was now, before it develops

its own nuclear bomb.

"It seems to me that no nation threatens the peace merely by its

sheer war-making capacity. It becomes the enemy of peace when

it begins to believe that war -- instead of dialogue and peaceful

engagement -- is the best way to express its power, and solve its

problems."

IMF Geeks that Financial Crisis Is Coming

Oct. 10, 2012 (EIRNS)--Even the International Monetary Fund

cannot fail to see that a global financial blowout is upon us. The

language of its semi-annual Global Financial (In)Stability Re-

port, issued on the eve of the IMF Annual Meeting in Tokyo, is

more honest than usual for a bunch of financier toadies.

"Mounting Risks, Euro Area Worries Fuel Financial Instabil-

ity," is the headline on the press release greeting visitors to the

IMF website. "Risks to financial stability" have increased since

our April 2012 report, they write. "Confidence in the global fi-

nancial system has become very fragile," and "the euro area cri-

sis remains the principal source of concern." Despite the ECB's

exceptional liquidity operations at the beginning of the year,

Draghi's big bazooka promise in July, and the ECB's September

measures "to increase liquidity support, capital flight is

"undermining the very foundations of the union." Fueling chaos

("market fragmentation") is the fear that countries may soon

leave the Euro and return to their national currencies

("redenomination risks").

The report projects that the way things are heading, European

banks could see asset shrinkage (capital flight, drop in valua-

tions, etc.) of as much as $2.8 trillion to $4.5 trillion through the

end of 2013.

Their solution? "More speed is needed now" in implementing

the policies which they admit have resolved nothing.

US Pork Producers File New Appeal to Obama

To Lift Ethanol Mandate, Citing "Frightening

Prospect" of Inability To Feed Animals

Oct. 13 (LPAC)--The National Pork Producers Council, repre-

senting 67,000 pork farming operations, filed a new appeal on

Oct. 11, with the Obama Administration, for a "Waiver of a

Portion of the Renewable Fuels Standard," citing the current

"price shock" and corn scarcity causing terrible harm to live-

stock operations.

The 27-page filing stated at the outset, "In light of the

ongoing disastrous drought that continues to afflict our nation,

and the outsized impact of the RFS on the supply of ever finite

levels of corn, EPA's consideration of these petitions and re-

quests for a waiver of the RFS mandate is an urgent matter.

EPA's granting of a full or partial waiver of the RFS is neces-

sary to avert the severe economic harm that has been experi-

enced in 2012 by pork producers and the communities and

states they live in, and will continue to manifest itself in 2013

and beyond. Therefore, we recommend that you issue a waiver

for the maximum duration allowed under Clear Air act section

211(o)(7)."

The Environmental Protection Agency, which technically

could do this at any time, is refusing to act, under the Obama

subservience to the British Empire policy of creating condi-

tions for depopulation.

The Pork Producers' document gives a chart, showing

prices for the main animal-feed products, corn and soybeans,

from 1950 to the present, highlighting the price spikes of the

last four years of economic breakdown. Unless there is a shift

in Federal policy, worse is to come. It states, that under condi-

tions where the volume of corn is not rising, and in fact, de-

creasing, then

the food system is: "put at risk of being wholly incapable of

adjusting and mitigating the worst effects of severe supply

shocks like that resulting from this year's drought, particularly

if such a supply shock is repeated two-years in a row...Indeed,

the severe harm that will occur in 2013 will become even more

manifested in 2014, should there be any kind of supply shock

in corn production in 2013...

"The severe harm pork producers will suffer in 2012 and

2013, however, pales in comparison to what it would be like in

2014, where this harm would be compounded by explosively

higher prices and crippling credit and liquidity shortfalls, and

creating the frightening prospect that many producers will find

themselves unable to assure stable access to an adequate local

supply of corn to feed their animals."

A few current headline events document

the livestock-meat chain breakdown crisis:

* CANADA. The second-largest pork producer in Canada

declared bankruptcy in September. Saskatchewan-based Big

Sky Farms filed; and also, Manitoba-based Puratone Corp.

Both cited the factor of high feed costs, specifically that it

takes C$180 to raise a hog, which is fetching only C$150 on

the market right now. Canada is the world's third largest pork

exporting nation. In China, steps are being taken to stockpile

pork in meat-lockers, as a buffer against shortages to come.

* CALIFORNIA. A long-standing poultry producer,

Zacky Farms LLC filed for Ch. 11 bankruptcy Oct. 10, citing

the cost of grains used in animal feeds. Processing for mostly

private labels, Zacky, founded in 1928, accounts for nearly 2%

of U.S. turkey production.

OBAMA TELLS WORLD LEADERS {NOT} TO ACT

ON FOOD CRISIS; AGRICULTURE MINISTERS

MEET IN ROME OCT. 16

Oct. 13 (LPAC)--The Obama Administration on Oct. 4 de-

creed that the world's governments should {NOT} move to

intervene in the fast-worsening crisis of food scarcity and

hyperinflation, because, it lied, "markets are functioning." This

is a straight depopulation pronouncement. The full text is be-

low.

The intent was made clear in the report on low world grain

stocks, issued by the Administration's own Agriculture Depart-

ment, infamous in recent years for understating the situation.

World grain stocks--that is, grain on hand in any form, under

the control of any entity, usually the mega-grain cartels--are

plunging. U.S. corn stocks as of 2013, are headed to levels of

17 years ago; soybean stocks going downward to 8 years ago.

Bins are emptying. The rush is on, from those with funds, to

line up the remaining, scarce food. It's down to bushels and

tons. For example, Africa imports about 30 million tons of

wheat a year. Where is it to come from? There is no foresee-

able let-up in culling and liquidation of herds.

World farm ministers will meet in Rome on Oct. 16 on

the situation, during what is scheduled as World Food Week.

Oct. 15-20, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Com-

mittee on World Food Security meets in Rome.

The Obama Administration's statement against any of

these groups or member governments of the Group of 20 tak-

ing action, was issued Oct. 4, by the United States Mission to

the UN Agencies in Rome (three of which are the world's top

food organizations). The statement follows in full:

"United States, as chair of the G-20 Agricultural Market

Information System Group, Confirms Agricultural Commodity

Markets are Functioning

"Rome, October 4, 2012

"The United States, as Chair of the G-20 Agricultural

Market Information System (AMIS) group, has consulted with

G-20 and other experts at the October 3-4 regularly scheduled

AMIS meeting in Rome. The U.S. concurs in the judgment of

the G-20 AMIS representatives that in light of the information

available to us today, agricultural commodity markets are

functioning and a meeting of the Rapid Response Forum is not

necessary at this time.

"Governments around the world, including large agri--

cultural exporters in G-20, have exercised prudence and re-

sponsibility in policy-making, including by avoiding export

bans that exacerbated volatility in 2007-2008."

gave this address on

Oct. 5, 2012, as the

first in a series of

Friday evening web-

casts leading up to

the Nov. 6 elections,

to be aired at la-

r o u c h e p a c . c o m .

Matthew Ogden of

LPAC-TV moder-

ated; a dialogue

with viewers follows

LaRouche's opening

remarks. Visit www.larouchepac.com for the full

video.

Thank you. We shall get at the business....

We need a new national policy, a new national

policy perspective. We're in the process of a gen-

eral breakdown crisis of the trans-Atlantic econ-

omy in particular, with emphasis on the United

States, which is in a financial breakdown crisis at

present. Western and Central Europe are en-

trapped in an increasingly hyperinflationary break-

down crisis. And if Europe continues to function

in that way, with this hyperinflationary program,

which has been recently installed on top of a pre-

vious hyperinflationary program, you're not going

to see much of Europe. We have to change that.

Now, the only solution for the problems of the

United States, in terms of economic and related

problems—when I say related problems: econom-

ics, physical economics in particular, is central to

the economy of the nation and its people as a

whole.

Recovery Begins with Glass-Steagall

So, the first thing we have to do—and there is no

alternative, and the same thing is true for

Europe—there is no possibility of the survival of

the United States and/or of Europe, without a

Glass-Steagall law. They have in Europe a ring-

fencing version as a so-called substitute for Glass-

Steagall. It doesn't work. It's just suicide on a

slower basis.

So therefore, Glass-Steagall is the first action.

Without Glass-Steagall, there's not going to be a

United States, because we're now engaged, our-

selves as a nation, in a hyperinflationary accelera-

tion, which would mean that whatever happens in

a few months, if it continues in this way, under

Obama, for example, there isn't going to be a

United States. There's going to be a piece of

wreckage, where there once was one.

The rate of starvation is there. The rate of a great,

crucial food shortage for the people of the United

States will continue, if Obama remains in office.

That does not say that I know what the other can-

didates are going to do. There are several of them

in the wings presently. But the point is that if

Obama remains President, you're going to see

mass starvation increasing in the United States,

especially in areas which used to be the food-

growing areas. And people are going to start dying

en masse, out of the effects and side effects of

hunger. When people have no food at all, they

tend to eat all kinds of things just to survive. And

they often die of the effects of what they eat.

That's the condition that the continuation of the

Obama Administration represents for the United

States in the coming period.

So Glass-Steagall is the only thing that can save

the United States, as it saved the United States

before, with the Franklin Roosevelt Administra-

tion. Go back to it. That gets us out of the mess.

But, Glass-Steagall of course means not cancelling

the non-included debt, but it means that non-

included debt is going to go bankrupt all on its

own, because most of it is going to be wiped out.

It's purely speculative. It's worthless. It's hyperin-

flationary.

And to bring the system under control, you just have

to say that Glass-Steagall will take care of, on behalf

of the government, the private-public [commercial,

non-speculative] banking system; and the other kind

of banking [investment banking] will just have to

learn how to survive on its own good behavior—

which will happen, as it happened under Roosevelt.

But there is a much more serious problem.

A National Credit System

So now, the problem is, we have to have a national

credit system. Once we have cleaned up the banking

system—because, remember, most of the banking

system represents worthless assets—most of the

Wall Street and similar kinds of entities, represent

worthless assets, which the United States can not,

under Glass-Steagall, bail out. Now that means that

the total amount of banking capability, of reserves

and credit available, would be limited. But there's a

remedy for it.

We have to create a national banking system, which

has another feature. A national banking system will

be based on the borrowing of credit which is secured

and guaranteed, as an asset, by the Federal govern-

ment; which means that wherever the banking sys-

tem—or the proper banking system—comes up with

a case which is, in terms of the government, going to

work to the good of the economy of the United

States, that will be taken seriously into account.

NAWAPA

One of the biggest projects we have in mind is the

NAWAPA [North American Water and Power Alli-

ance][1] project. Now this has been kicking around

since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, or

shortly after that. If that program had been imple-

mented, you would not have a water crisis in North

America today. You would not have most

of the problems of the western area of the

United States. And most of the shortage of

the ability to grow crops and all these sorts

of things, would have been cured. But that

would be one of the greatest driver pro-

grams, with about 14 million people em-

ployed suddenly, in this process of creat-

ing a North American water management

system, which will solve the general

threats of dessication in North America, by itself.

So the idea of having people trust the Federal gov-

ernment to guarantee the projects, will mean that we

can put, on that account alone, 14 million people to

work, in highly productive employment. That

changes the character of the United States.

Now, there are many other things. There are areas,

for example, in the northern part of the Eastern states

of the United States: We used to have an auto indus-

try, and accompanying an auto industry and a manu-

facturing industry, we had many others; we had air-

craft industries. During World War II, we had built

up the make-everything-industry, including for war-

fare.

We must go back to that. That's a couple more mil-

lion jobs to be added to the 14. And there are other

programs, of the same type; which means we have to

go to this conception, which is the original concep-

tion of credit of the United States under its Constitu-

tion. So simply going back to that Constitutional

provision will be sufficient to get, not riches for eve-

ryone, but a recovery and a genuine rate of growth,

and a prospect of the future.

The greatest problem in the United States today is

the fact that people have become more and more

ignorant in every practical way. Because they don't,

first of all, have employment of the type that be-

speaks productive power, and productive power is

very close to intellectual power, to mental power.

And that's been lost. People are dumped on the

streets, they're dumped out of their jobs. They don't

have a future under the present system; under the

Obama system, and the two toad-like systems [G.W.

Bush Administrations] before that.

38

So this thing has to change; we have to go back to

what we were doing as long as John Kennedy was

alive as President. Because in the history of the

United States, the assassination of Kennedy and

failure of relevant powers to investigate the actual

crime of his assassination led to a decline in the

U.S. economy; in its physical economy, in the

condition of life of our people, which has been

going for all this period since the time that Jack

Kennedy was assassinated. We have never had a

period under any President since the assassination

of John F. Kennedy when there was actually a net

per capita improvement in the economy of the

United States.

So what this means is, going back to the

NAWAPA project, which is one of the projects

which was on the agenda in the period when Ken-

nedy was assassinated. And 14 million jobs would

have been put into work at that time, had Jack

lived or had the investigation of his assassination

been taken into account.

So, we're going back to the time we started to take

a nosedive. We have some things which were go-

ing on then which were good, but they were not

sufficient to compensate for what happened after

the Kennedy assassination. The space program:

There was a high-tech driver program around

Massachusetts; they had a good time with it be-

cause they wanted it; one of the big beneficiaries

of that. But that project now, of course, has been

crushed by Obama.

But it was never sufficient to make up for the loss

of productivity which followed the assassination

of Jack Kennedy; and of course, the long war, the

ten years virtually, of war in Southeast Asia,

which should never have happened. Actually,

Kennedy was killed primarily because he opposed

the war in Southeast Asia, which Douglas MacAr-

thur, who was a key advisor on this, said, "Don't

do it. No land wars in Asia for the United States."

And what that did, that war killed off the morals

and future and happiness of a good part of our

population. It put us really on the slide, and that

decade went down to the dirt.

We didn't do too well under another President.

Another President came along, and he had some

good ideas, he did some good things, but he wasn't

allowed to do too much. So, the United States has

actually been in a process over these successive

generations, since the assassination of Kennedy,

has been in a downslide morally, culturally, and

every other way. And each generation tries to

make it out for themselves, but they don't see the

pattern. They don't see the pattern, that we have

been going downhill.

And with the Green policy, which had already

started at the time that Kennedy was pushing

things up, the Green policy has destroyed the

United States morally as well as physically, eco-

nomically. So these things have to be changed.

Money Does Not Have Intrinsic Value

But the other part of this thing is, people make the

mistake—and Glass-Steagall points in that direc-

tion—people make the mistake of thinking that

money has an intrinsic value. Money does not

have an intrinsic value. The use of money as a pre-

sumed value goes back a long ways, it goes along

with what is called the oligarchical system. It goes

back actually to the siege of Troy, where the kill-

ing of a whole people, a mass murder of a whole

people occurred. And this has happened a number

of times in European history since that time. Just

mass killing of people.

Why? On the basis of what is called a monetary

system, a money system. And a money system

which is of the form called an oligarchical system,

where a small ruling class—fat, sloppy, skinny,

whatever, but useless and murderous—has reigned

over nations in the European region.

Now, the remarkable thing about the United States

is not so remarkable. There was a fellow—

Nicholas of Cusa—a Cardinal, one of the most

famous minds in all modern history. As a matter

of fact, he almost invented modern history. And

before he died, his commitment was to induce

Europeans who wanted to do so, to cross the great

ocean—and he knew where the ocean was, and he

knew where the land on the other side was, be-

cause the scientists at that time knew that informa-

tion. They knew the size of the Earth; they knew

the approximate size of the ocean, and Columbus

was able, based on the information developed for

him by Nicholas of Cusa and others, to plot a

course, which he met. He arrived when he ex-

pected to, and he arrived as he expected to. So,

there was a development.

39

Out of this came, eventually, with a lot of mishaps

here and there, there came a point where we started a

new civilization, by Europeans, as colonists, moving

across the Atlantic Ocean into the Americas.

Now the particularly most successful case was that

in North America, and the greatest concentration of

success in the early days of that century was Boston.

That effort, which was in Massachusetts, which was

the foundation of the creation of the United States,

and everything that our system meant, was crushed

by the British, by William of Orange and his types.

So that, for a time, our Massachusetts Bay Colony

and its ancillaries continued to function, but they

were crushed.

But nonetheless, the effort came back with a struggle

since 1763, the Peace of Paris. And suddenly there is

a division; the Americans began to assemble again

against the British Empire.

The British Empire had been first installed as an em-

pire on the planet. It was not the royal family, the

royal system had not been changed; but that had

changed in 1763. At that point there was a struggle

that began with the ending of the French and Indian

War, which coincided with that first Peace of Paris.

Out of this came a struggle from within North Amer-

ica, within what became the United States, to estab-

lish a republic, based on the same principles which

the Massachusetts Bay Colony had brought into be-

ing with its own automatic currency—not based on a

monetarist system, but based on a credit system.

When the U.S. Constitution was first formed, the

provision was for a credit system, not a monetarist

system. Monetarism came in because of the loans

and debts of the United States at that time, in which

other people were using money to assist the United

States or to collect debts from the United States. And

that is where this problem came up.

But intrinsically, in our constitutional principle, the

United States was founded on a tradition which goes

back to Nicholas of Cusa, which goes back to the

Massachusetts Bay Colony's development, and went

to the idea of a credit system, which is the definition

of our constitutional monetary system. It's not a

monetarist system. It's a credit system, not a money

system.

And therefore, our return to those principles of that

American Constitution, that understanding of its his-

toric significance, is what is required. So therefore,

we make these changes: Glass-Steagall, no compro-

mise, Glass-Steagall as Roosevelt defined it; iron-

clad, no change. That's the precondition for our re-

covery and our survival. And any future Presidency

of the United States at this time must adopt that pol-

icy, or they're not fit to rule. We have to be clear on

that.

There are other problems—national credit: We have

to organize the national credit system as a national

credit system, the way it was intended by John

Quincy Adams, not that maddened nitwit who re-

placed him [Andrew Jackson]. And we need large

driver projects, which include chiefly NAWAPA,

the biggest one, and the other things; and the space

program—which I'll come to in the closing part of

my report—is a crucial one, and for reasons which

many people may not yet know, or haven't caught up

with.

End the Political Party System

Now, all this means that Obama must be swept out

of office now. This is not a partisan situation or

question. This is not a partisan issue. The greatest

error in the United States, as was understood by

George Washington and others, was the establish-

ment of a political party system, a national political

party system. That was the greatest piece of stupidity

ever imposed upon the United States by itself; and

Andrew Jackson was the most typical of the infected

creatures who participated in that.

But the idea of a Republican and Democratic

Party—this procedure was wrong, because what it

led to was all these other kinds of management prob-

lems. So we have to get back to a credit system un-

der our Constitution. There's no change in principle

in order to do that. And as George Washington un-

derstood, and others, repeatedly, the problem of the

United States was the introduction of a party system,

a national party system. And there should be no na-

tional party system, and that should be done now

under the incoming Presidency of the United

States—the end of the party system as such.

40

There are other ways of approaching this.

Besides, you look at the party system: They're

messes anyway. The Democratic Party, it's a mess.

There's no coherence there; it's simply a bunch of

gangsters with a bunch of fools following them,

each trying to win for their baseball or their football

team or whatever it is. And you have these football

teams, and they're all impassioned to beat the other

team. What about doing something for the nation,

rather than trying to defeat the other team? We

don't need this stuff, and the time has come to quit.

Rebuild the system based on a non-party system in

which the citizen has the authority, not some party.

The citizen does not have to give up his independ-

ence as a citizen, but we have to have a government

which is based on discussion of ideas, not this kind

of lechery that we get now, and the obscenity that

we just saw in the recent efforts.

And Obama couldn't exist except under that kind of

corrupt system. He couldn't be made President. He

was losing, and then suddenly, the way the drugs

are flowing across from Mexico into the United

States, and in that area of the world Obama made a

big victory and knocked out his competitor in the

Democratic Party, and that's all he had to show for

it. And he had some big muckety-mucks from Brit-

ain who are noted as the biggest thieves in the

world, and they financed Obama, arranged this fi-

nancing, and we've been subjected to this corrup-

tion and destruction all these years under Obama,

and some clown is trying to say vote for him again.

This must not happen.

We can reorganize the system and its secondary

features to go back to the original principle of the

Constitution. Because there are two things we don't

want to do, which have been done. One, is you

don't want to go back to a party system. Because

when you make the issue one of partisanship, like a

football team or a baseball team competition, on the

question of deciding policy of government, that is a

piece of idiocy. You want the citizen not to vote for

a team, like somebody in the stadium thinking he's

investing in something, and finding what he's

bought on the way out or sold on the way out.

You want a thinking citizen; you want the citizen to

accept the habits of thinking, of thinking through

decisions, of demanding the education needed for

them to make the decisions that they've been called

upon to make, as George Washington had intended.

Not Worth a Troy Ounce

And the other thing we have to get rid of is the idea

that money has an intrinsic value. Money has no

intrinsic value. Money is no better than govern-

ments that are able to organize money, in a way

that fits the national needs.

Now, the idea of the money system comes from

Troy. Troy ended up—they tore the whole joint

down, killed most of the people, except a few kid-

dies and old ladies and things like that. And they

set into a motion a system which is the oligarchical

system, which has cursed Europe, European civili-

zation, in one way or the other, and now the United

States as well, and other nations.

With this came the idea that there was gold, or sil-

ver, or something else, that had an intrinsic value,

as a metal, or something of that sort, an intrinsic

value. And this intrinsic value was value, and

money would be based on the control of this, par-

ticularly copper, zinc, gold, silver, whatever—this

thing that was used as a physical object was as-

signed a certain value, and the whole society was

imprisoned to that money value.

We don't need that. We never did. And what we

saw in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, with the

pinetree shilling that was introduced in that period,

was a demonstration of that. And Benjamin Frank-

lin's conception of a money system was based on

that precedent, with his paper currency conception.

The foundation of the system of economy of the

United States, the Federal system, was based on the

same principle. And it's only when we gave up the

principle to outside forces that we got into trouble

with our system.

The Massachusetts Pine Tree Schilling

41

We do not need a monetarist system. As a matter

of fact, you've come to a time when everybody in

Europe is bankrupt. They're totally bankrupt. Be-

cause the inflation under which they're living, be-

speaks something worse than what existed in Ger-

many in 1923, in the collapse of the currency then.

So, we're in the process of a global collapse.

Money, of whatever denomination, is no longer a

control mechanism, but rather politics and politi-

cal power is.

And therefore, we have to go a credit system,

which is well understood in history, or should be.

And that means this reform, around these three

principles of:

Glass-Steagall;

A national credit system (as opposed to this

kind of banking system we've had now); and

A return to production, through projects typi-

fied by NAWAPA.

This is what makes sense, and what we can do.

And we can just get other things out of the way.

Nuclear Winter

I think the very existence of the United States de-

mands that Obama be swept out of office. I know

what he is. I know what his mind, so-called, is. I

know what he does. And I know what his role has

been. He, together with certain people who own

him in England, and elsewhere, and Saudi Ara-

bia—because remember, this goes back to 9/11.

What we're living through right now, in the United

States and throughout the world, as in the recent

assassination of our diplomat [Amb. Christopher

Stevens], is, under Obama, we're dealing with this

problem.

And this is headed toward what? It's headed to-

ward a reduction of the world population, which is

decreed by the Queen of England, and a whole

mass of her associates, who have decided to re-

duce the population of the planet from 7 billion

people, estimated today, to approximately 1 bil-

lion. That process has actually been in progress.

We're seeing in the world precisely those condi-

tions which can bring on that rate of death among

populations, in the United States and elsewhere.

What they intend to do, as Obama makes it very

clear, is launch a war, a war which would lead to a

thermonuclear war. In other words, all you have to

do, is continue the process of the Obama policy

now, his military and related policy, and we are

going to find ourselves, in a very short time, rela-

tively, weeks or months, you're going to see—if

we don't stop it—a thermonuclear war.

And a thermonuclear war leads to what's called a

nuclear Winter, this time a thermonuclear Winter.

What happens then, is the U.S. Navy, and its sub-

marine fleet, in particular, and other forces, com-

bine forces to conduct a war against Russia,

China, and others. Russia and China are very ca-

pable in these weapon systems. The United States

is very well equipped in terms of, say, the naval

system. And the naval submarines of the United

States, if they take on this assignment, would very

quickly reduce a good deal of this planet to noth-

ing.

It would probably take an hour and a half, and the

expenditure of thermonuclear forces from the

United States, from China, from Russia, and from

Europe, and so forth—that amount, which are

probably two general waves, would turn the whole

planet into what's called a nuclear Winter. A ther-

monuclear Winter. Because you would create

weather conditions, cold weather conditions, from

which it is doubtful that we would be able to

maintain a population, even of the survivors of the

war.

And therefore, the time has come that we have to

take on two things that are our enemies. One en-

emy is the monetarist system, which is one of the

principal modes which lead us toward our destruc-

tion. The second thing is the related system to the

monetary system, which is typified by the British

Empire tradition, and by those within the United

Kingdom, and within Saudi Arabia, who created

9/11, under an Obama who is 9/11 Two—if he

gets a chance.

larouchepac.com/10yearslater

42

So, therefore, the time has come that what Obama

represents—it's not just he himself—it's what he

represents that must be swept out of office, for the

sake of the very lives of every damn citizen in the

United States—and I say "damn" advisedly. Be-

cause that's what we're up against.

The Natural Wealth of the Nation

So therefore, what we have to do, the idea that the

United States must go to a Glass-Steagall policy,

cannot be argued against by any competent, sane

person. The idea of going to a national credit sys-

tem, in terms of a banking system, cannot be argued

against by any competent person who understands

this. We cannot ever develop the monetary basis, as

a simple monetary basis, to sustain a recovery of the

U.S. economy from its present conditions. The only

way we can do that, is by using national banking as

a method of creating a credit system, which by the

issue of credit, against a government debt responsi-

bility, enables us to fund projects which are going to

contribute to the natural wealth of the nation.

And it's the natural wealth, not the money wealth,

which is important. The natural wealth of the nation

and its people. We've come to that point.

The myth of money must be cancelled. The money

changers must finally be discharged from govern-

ment.

Now, there's another problem. Europe is a problem.

Europe is on the threshold of disintegration, West-

ern and Central Europe. Because it's now entered

into a phase of hyperinflation. And if that continues,

hyperinflation worse than 1923 Germany, how long

is that going to last? So, therefore that's our prob-

lem.

We have to recognize that the euro system was a

crime against the human species. The attempt to

force a group of nations—and this was started actu-

ally by London, but Mitterrand, the President of

France, was the key instigator of it. Germany was on

the verge of being independent again, as a unified

nation. And then suddenly, Chancellor Kohl, who

was the leader of Germany at the time, had a friend

of his [Alfred Herrhausen], who was the greatest

banker in Europe at the time, the greatest in skill and

capability, who was assassinated. Assassinated by

somebody coming across from, say, a westerly di-

rection.

And at the same time, a key figure of the French

government, a servant of Mitterrand's, said, effec-

tively, that if Germany tried to unify, France would

go to war against Germany. And this was backed up

by the prime minister of Britain [Margaret

Thatcher], and by the President of the United States,

poor George Dumblebum Bush.

So therefore, this process led to the euro system,

which looted and destroyed these nations of Europe.

And the attempt to maintain the euro system, means

that Europe will not survive. Europe has now en-

tered into a deadly hyperinflationary explosion, and

it cannot survive under those policies. The euro sys-

tem simply should be regarded by all Americans as

an unwanted entity. Not because of the nations and

people, but because of what it implies.

The euro system is now hopelessly bankrupt and in

a state of hyperinflationary collapse, and there's

nothing in sight that's going to change that, except

the will of the people. If the will of the European

people says, "we're going to get rid of this, yes,

fine," the United States should take a very sympa-

thetic view of the success of that restoration of the

system of sovereign nation-states, rather than the so-

called euro abomination.

This is not a matter of interfering in their govern-

ments, because they don't have governments any

more. How can you threaten the government of a

nation, when the nation has no government? And

that's the case in Europe, in fact, right now.

A Planetary System of Cultures

So, therefore, we have to think about how we're go-

ing to reorganize the world. We're now going

through a great crisis; we're on the verge of the ex-

tinction of humanity, threatened by the nuclear

weapons crisis, thermonuclear weapons. Bankruptcy

all over the world. Africa, which has been murdered

over and over again, as a whole continent, by the

British in particular, over these periods.

43

The world is a mess. It has elements in it which

are viable, and valuable. These elements must be

protected, and systems of cooperation among sov-

ereign nation-states must be established, to ensure

stability.

We have to go, in one case, to a global policy: a

policy of global sovereign nation-states, entered

into systems of cooperation, and deliberation on

cooperation. That's what we require.

We're now faced, as I said, not only with a nuclear

Winter—and Obama's existence, his policy, what

he did in Benghazi, in fact did, is headed toward a

nuclear Winter, a thermonuclear Winter. And what

they're trying to do in pushing something against

Iran—again the same thing. What they're doing in

Turkey, the same thing. These things are chiefly

coming from the United States, and from the

Obama Administration under British direction,

and Saudi direction. The British empire is actually

partly the Saudi empire. And these forces are

there.

So, what are we going to do? We're going to re-

establish our system of sovereign nation-states;

secure agreement among nations to go to a credit

system, rather than a monetarist system; set up

systems of credit which enable nations to rebuild,

and to create stability; re-establish sovereignty.

Now, sovereignty means this: It means that in the

history of mankind, you have a variation in cul-

tures, and people function, not only on the basis of

their nationality, but they function on the basis of

the culture that nationality is assumed to represent.

We need a planetary system of cultures, of na-

tional cultures. It just means, that we restore the

best we had earlier, and put some more growth in

it.

Now, how do we get to a world without war, with-

out world war? Yes, you can have all kinds of

quarrels and so forth, up to a rather intense state, if

things are managed properly. But world war, or

general war approximating world war, is no longer

feasible in the age of thermonuclear weapons and

similar kinds of weapons. We can't have it.

A Defense of Earth

But we've got another problem before us. That's

not the only problem. We've got a problem with a

lot of big rocks, called satellites; and they're

swarming, particularly to our attention, between

the orbit of Mars and the orbit of Venus. We know

a small percentile of these asteroids, and they

come in all kinds of flavors and sizes. And if they

hit the Earth, as they do occasionally, they will

take out an area, say, comparable to San Francisco

Bay—something like that getting wiped out, and

all the people in it getting wiped out. That can

happen. Smaller events of that type can happen.

Larger ones can rarely happen. And a really big

one, if a really big satellite hits the Earth, then no

more people.

So therefore, the defense of Earth, while it has not

been much discussed, was actually being pushed

as an issue and a project at the time that I was

pushing for the SDI. And that effort has continued.

Today we find ourselves in a position where we

do not have the kinds of information we need, let

alone the equipment we need, to get out there and

steer some of these asteroids—first of all, locate

them; steer them in such a way they do not collide

with Earth. Because they would either do damage

to life on Earth, or they totally destroy human life

on Earth, and all life on Earth.

44

So therefore, we have a mission now, and it's be-

coming more acute as time passes, that we must

get out there, between the area of Earth and Mars

in particular, and build up systems of cooperation,

as with Curiosity on Mars; and by using the speed

of light of communication between the systems we

establish on Mars and the systems on Earth and so

forth, we're going to have to develop a system by

which we can detect these satellites that are float-

ing around, and intervene to steer them away from

a collision with Earth.

And this is typical of the kind of problem that we

have to deal with in the coming period. We have

to totally reverse the idiocy and the crimes that

were done by Obama, in terms of the space pro-

gram. The problem with the space program al-

ready, was we were not doing enough to meet this

challenge. We weren't giving it sufficient support

to meet this challenge. And now the time has

come that Obama has tried to destroy it all!

And that is a crime against humanity: When a

head of state acts to intervene in world affairs, to

block and halt a means necessary to preserve the

very existence of the human species, that is what

we will not tolerate. And Obama, for that reason

alone, should be just quickly ushered out the gate,

or probably impeached. We probably can't wait

longer. We should probably get him out of there

now. But that's the challenge.

The Worst of All Possible Governments

So now, that's where we stand. We have, on the

one hand, the worst government in most parts of

the world that we've seen in a long time. And the

U.S. government under Obama is the worst: The

worst of all possible governments! You wouldn't

think that anybody could do that, but that's it. He

is. Only the Saudis, if they were capable, would be

equally evil.

So, we're at that point. We have an understanding

of what this nonsense is. We have a system in

which you don't have clear party solidity. The Re-

publican Party is not a solid creature; the Democ-

ratic Party is not a solid creature. And you have a

lot of other loose groups around who don't really

agree with either! Or they don't agree even with

themselves, because they don't even trust them-

selves, I guess.

But the point is, we have to build up a new politi-

cal system which is based on, for us, our national

tradition. I don't think that most people in the

world would disagree with us on what the United

States system was, the conception of the political

system. They might have some disagreement with

what we've been doing, and what our policies are,

and what our thinking is in many cases, but the

principles are not at risk. And therefore, I think

that's where we stand. If we can do that, I think we

can make it.

So therefore, where are we? We've got a Democ-

ratic Party and we've got this piece of junk, called

Obama, who's stuck on top of it, running for Presi-

dent. You have the other side, and other sides in-

between.

We have to have a sort of an understanding, of

coming together, and instead of taking issues—

and issues are deadly: When you take issues and

make bargaining over issues a stake, it's the choice

of issues which you have to agree upon. In other

words, you don't want to have more football rival-

ries, or basketball rivalries, as politics. You want

to say, "What is the total combination that this

nation needs as a whole, that the world needs as a

whole, as a composite policy?" Without that, then

we don't have a solution. But Obama must go.

This is not a partisan issue. This is a human issue:

Obama must go!

We've had, 9/11 number 1; we're getting number 2

now, under Obama. And Obama is one of the peo-

ple who's been blocking the exposure of the evi-

dence of who did what, in number 1! The evidence

is there. Throw this SOB out of office now! Get

the voters to do that, too. Throw the guy out! And

partisan loyalties do not provide any excuse for

tolerating Obama any more.

Editorial

We have now come to the point that mankind must either grow up and accept his destiny as a galactic

species, or perish. This choice is not an exaggeration, but rather a fact defined by the reality of human-

ity’s modern relationship to the atom. After the highly dense interval of creative discovery during the

second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th, mankind had found itself facing a degree of

power that was unimaginable by all previous generations. Finally, the limits of imagination governing a

world of fixed energy, fixed motion, fixed resources melted away through the radiative power emanating

from seemingly material rocks. After the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Wall Street stooge

Harry Truman’s dropping the bombs onto a defeated Japan in 1945, the thought consuming all scientists

was : can humanity ever be trusted to use such power responsibly?

We have now reached a point of decision which will define the unfolding of human history for a very

long time to come. As another Wall Street-London Stooge sits in the White House, an encirclement of

Russia and China is underway with a large deployment of U.S. Military capabilities, including two Ohio

class submarines carrying Trident nuclear warheads in the Pacific theater. Provocations for war are arti-

ficially enflamed throughout hotspots the world over and an economic meltdown of the bubble economy

is revealing to a sleeping world that the physical economic foundations so necessary for humanity’s con-

tinual survival have been utterly dismantled.

Within this seemingly impossible conflagration of events, leading officials across Russia and China have

warned starkly of the danger of thermonuclear war but have also echoed the programmatic solutions of

American economist Lyndon LaRouche, in turning this crisis into a revolutionary paradigm shift to-

wards the future.

Were the policies advocated by Dmitry Rogozin’s Strategic Defence of the Earth and the greater chal-

lenge of space exploration and colonization adopted in the brief time ahead, an opportunity to bring the

power of the atom into conformity with humanity’s needs be assured. The acceptance of this mission

would entail not only reversing the current drive for war and aggression with the eastern alliance, but a

forceful implementation of the Glass-Steagall bank separation would be required of a large body of co-

operating sovereign nation states. The following application of productive credit via Hamiltonian na-

tional banking and a New Bretton Woods-type fixed exchange rate monetary system would be required.

The majority of Shanghai Cooperation Organization nations as well as nations of the Non-Aligned

Movement are enthusiastic to join such a program. Many South American Nations would love nothing

more than be given a chance to develop into sovereign nations outside of the City of London’s systemic

shackles. All that awaits this new possible world of progress is the cooperation of western governments,

who are only now beginning to awaken after decades of “post-industrial” decadence.

The Committee for the Republic of Canada, and our friends around the world are convinced that it is not

yet too late to change destinies from one of nuclear dark age to nuclear renaissance. The creative leaps

from advanced fission to thermonuclear fusion and to our necessarily inevitable harnessing of Matter-

Anti-Matter processes is calling humanity to do nothing less than bend the shape of physical space time

in a way never before dreamed of.

Two thirds of the world’s population are ready. Are you?
