LaRouche on Tasks forPost-Cheney Era

Synarchist Puppet Howard Destroys the Nation-State

American statesman andphysical economist Lyn-

don H. LaRouche, Jr. gave anhistoric webcast on Novem-ber 16 before a Washington,D.C. audience of 235 people,in which he outlined thepresent state of the battle be-tween the “globalist” finan-cial oligarchy and the insti-tutions of the sovereign na-tion-state, as the world plung-es toward economic and fi-nancial collapse (see p.3).The enthusiastic Washingtonaudience of trade union lead-ers, elected state representa-tives, city councilmen and100 or so members of hisLaRouche Youth Movement(LYM), among others, heardhis plans for a U.S.-led glo-bal economic recovery basedupon sovereign governmentsemitting large-scale creditsfor great infrastructureprojects in power, water,transportation, health and ed-ucation.

The centrepiece of the in-frastructure-led recovery, La-Rouche explained, is the“machine tool principle” atthe heart of any viable econ-omy, whereby new waves of

scientific discoveries areturned into machine tools,which unleash ever-higherrates of physical productivi-ty, and thus well-paid em-ployment. A country withouta machine-tool industry cannot be sovereign, and will in-evitably descend towardThird World conditions, heemphasised. LaRouche hasproposed emergency legisla-tion to the U.S. Congress tosave the greatest concentra-tion of machine tools in theworld, in the U.S. auto indus-try, which is now being de-stroyed by speculative hedgefunds and other financialsharks.

Following his speech, La-Rouche took questions fromU.S. Senators, congressmenor congressional staffers andothers on a whole range ofsubjects. He again hammeredhome the point that Vice Pres-ident Dick Cheney is the chiefrepresentative inside the BushAdministration of the interna-tional financier cartel, and forthere to be any prospect oforganising an economic re-covery, Cheney has to be driv-en from office. Thanks to La-

Rouche’s efforts over the lastthree years, that effort is wellunderway: Cheney himself isunder investigation by a spe-cial prosecutor for leaking theidentity of a CIA agent, whilehis chief of staff Lewis Lib-by, along with his enforcer inCongress, Republican Major-ity Leader Tom DeLay, areboth under indictment, anddozens of other Cheney-tiedindividuals are also under in-vestigation.

Organising a RecoveryLaRouche’s November 16

webcast marked an inflectionpoint in his deepening dia-logue with the U.S. Congress,particularly the Senate. Giv-en that Bush is a psychopathand Cheney is a sociopath,the Bush presidency does notfunction. Thus, the specificurgent measures to deal withthe unfolding global financialcollapse and to organise aneconomic recovery, mustcome from the Senate, whoseactions increasingly reflectLaRouche’s proposals. And,as the U.S. begins to ditch theglobalist, free-trade policieson the pathway to recovery,

the political and economiceffects of that recovery willradiate throughout theworld—precisely as hap-pened in the 1930s Depres-sion. LaRouche has now de-ployed his staff at ExecutiveIntelligence Review maga-zine, along with leaders of hisLYM, for detailed studies ofhow President Franklin Roo-

sevelt pulled the U.S. out ofthe 1930s Depressionthrough great infrastructureprojects like the TennesseeValley Authority (TVA), andhow U.S. industry—particu-larly the auto sector—wasconverted during World WarII to unleash the economicmiracle which secured theAllied victory against fas-

cism. As the world’s leadingphysical economist, he is alsoauthoring a series of paperson how Roosevelt’s methodsmust be refined and enlargedto take into account the farworse shape of the U.S. econ-omy today, than when Roo-sevelt began his recovery in1933.

During the 1920s and1930s the international

financial oligarchy (theSynarchy—pron. “Sin-ar-kee”) installed fascist regimesthroughout Europe, as part ofits scheme to eliminate sov-ereign, self-governing nation-states from the face of theearth. Men such as Mussolini,Franco or Hitler were fi-nanced and installed as merepuppets of the Synarchy. Fas-cism is on the rise again today,only this time it is called “glo-balisation”. And, in case pop-ulations become restive underthe brutal collapse in livingstandards which globalisationinevitably brings, the Synar-chy is readying the classickinds of police-state fascistrule which Hitler typified.

This process is now hap-pening in Australia, and theman leading the charge forfascism here is John Howard.Merely look at the horrific

legislation he is rammingthrough Parliament in theclosing days of 2005 alone:draconian “anti-terror” lawslittle different than Hitler’s(see p.2); IR “reform” whosepurpose is to crush trade un-ions and living standards, justlike Mussolini and Hitler did;and his cruel “welfare-to-work” scheme, which is noth-ing but a typical fascist slave-labour scheme.

Throughout his politicalcareer, Howard has beennothing but a puppet of theSynarchy, in particular of itsmain postwar thinktank, theCity of London, BritishCrown-sponsored Mont Pe-lerin Society, whose local af-filiates include such radicalrightwing “thinktanks” as theInstitute of Public Affairs(which gave birth to the Lib-eral Party), the Tasman Insti-tute, The Centre for Inde-pendent Studies and the HRNicholls Society. These are

funded by many of the samebig mining companies, thebanks, and big corporationswhich organised such massfascist armies here in the 1930sas Sydney’s New and OldGuards, and Melbourne’sLeague of National Security.Howard’s father was a memberof the fascist New Guard in Syd-ney, probably because heworked for Colonial Sugar Re-fining (CSR), the chief sponsorof the New and Old Guards.

As we have documented inthis newspaper (April, 2004),these fascist armies were pre-pared to seize power in theDepression if the ALP threat-ened to implement the samekind of directed-credit meth-ods to finance great infra-structure projects which Pres-ident Franklin Delano Roo-sevelt used to get the U.S.(and the world) out of theDepression and to defeat fas-cism in World War II. In thisnew worldwide financial and

economic collapse, who willrule: sovereign nation-statescommitted to the CommonGood, or the Synarchy?

Outside of the efforts ofLaRouche’s associates in theCitizens Electoral Council,the situation inside Australiaitself would appear desperate,given that the ALP under thepro-globalisation, pro-fascistBeazley is no different thanthe Coalition under Howard(decent individuals in bothparties notwithstanding). For-tunately, however, the battlefor Australia (as for any oth-er sovereign nation-state onthe globe), will not be entire-ly decided here, but largely inWashington, D.C., where thefascist Cheney cabal is on itsway out, and where La-Rouche’s influence in boththe Democratic and Republi-can parties is growing by theday. The best thing you cando for Australia is to join La-Rouche’s movement here.

The New Citizen is the newspaper of the CitizensElectoral Council, a national political party and the

Australian associates of American economist and states-man Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. With some 3,000 mem-bers, the CEC is not far behind either the ALP (with nomore than 7,500 members according to former ALPchief Mark Latham), nor the Liberal Party, which hasfewer members even than Labor. However, in terms ofideas and the activities of its members, the CEC beatsthe “majors” hands down. For more information on theCEC, see www.cecaust.com.au.

Howard: Prime Minister for Torture,War and Fascism

by Robert Barwick

Lyndon LaRouche beganhis campaign to oust U.S.

Vice President Dick Cheneyand his neocon cabal from theinstitutions of the U.S. govern-ment in 2002, with a pamphletseries exposing the neocons as“the children of Satan”. Theseneocons, LaRouche charged,traced their philosophy back tothe Spanish Inquisition estab-lished with the expulsion of theJews from Spain in 1492;through the Martinist freema-sonic lodges which ran thebloody Jacobin Terror of the1789 French Revolution;through the dictator Napoleon;and on through the Martinist-modeled Synarchist Interna-tional which sponsored the Eu-ropean fascist regimes of the1920s to the 1940s. Many inWashington said, “We don’tlike these guys either, but La-Rouche is exaggerating!”

Then came the exposures ofAbu Ghraib and GuantanamoBay, and the revelation that theBush Administration had au-thored numerous policy mem-os and “presidential findings”which scrapped the GenevaConventions and unleashedthe policy of torture. And,when former prisoner of warSenator John McCain, whohad himself been tortured inNorth Vietnamese camps dur-ing the Vietnam War, in Octo-ber 2005 proposed an amend-ment forbidding the U.S. touse torture, Cheney went ona jihad against McCain andhis amendment. McCain’samendment nonethelesspassed the 100-member U.S.Senate by 98-2. And thencame the indictment ofCheney’s chief of staff Lewis“Scooter” Libby for leakingthe identity of CIA agentValerie Plame Wilson, in an

attempt to discredit her hus-band, former AmbassadorJoseph Wilson’s exposure ofthe Cheney propaganda that“Saddam is acquiring nuclearweapons” as a justification forthe Iraq war.

Cheney is now universallyrecognised as precisely the“beast-man” LaRouche saidhe was. Less recognised, is thefact that Prime Minister JohnHoward has been an enthusi-astic accomplice of Cheneyand his neocon mafia (includ-ing its Blair allies in London)in all of its “beast-man” meas-ures, including attempting toestablish a fascist police statein Australia (as Cheney had at-tempted in the U.S.); in lying,leaking national security se-crets, and savagely attackinganyone exposing the hoax ofIraq’s “weapons of mass de-struction”; and in endorsingand implementing torture as astate policy. Listed below areonly the briefest documenta-tion of Howard’s beast-manactivities, extensive documen-tation of which is available onthe CEC’s website, http://www.cecaust.com.au.

Fascist Police StateMeasures:

Howard’s Anti-TerrorismAct of 2005, along with ac-companying legislation, pro-vides for, among other hide-ous things:

* Vague, catch-all definitionsof “terror” and “terrorists.” Noevidence is required that the “ter-rorists” are planning a specificattack, only that they might be“considering” one.

* Sedition laws with seven-year sentences for “excitingdisaffection against the Gov-ernment” or “promoting feel-ings of ill-will and hostility.”

* Police powers to imprison

anyone for 14 days or to con-fine them to home detentionfor up to one year with nocharge, and to “shoot to kill”in making such arrests, as Brit-ish police did around the sub-way bombings in July.

* Family members or jour-nalists who disclose such im-prisonment or detention maybe sentenced to 5-7 years, andthose detained or their lawyersmay not see the evidence uponwhich such confinement isbased.

* Conversations betweenlawyers and their defendantsmay be taped, a procedureoutlawed even at GuantanamoBay.

* The use of unchallenge-able video or other evidencefrom abroad, opening the doorto that gained by torture.

* New “stop, question, andsearch” laws modelled onBritain’s notorious laws inNorthern Ireland.

* The use of the Army tocarry out civilian policing forthe first time in Australia’s his-tory, under even the “poten-tial” of a terrorist attack. Anearlier Howard law gave theArmy the right to “shoot tokill’’ civilians.

* ASIO has been doubled insize, and the Australian Armyis being reorganised to func-tion as a “counterinsurgencyforce” rather than as a tradi-tional army. Citizens presum-ably breathed a sigh of reliefwhen Foreign Minister Alex-ander Downer proclaimed,“There won’t be soldiers pa-trolling the streets shooting atpeople.”

Lying for the Iraq War:In February 2002, former

U.S. Ambassador, Joseph Wil-son was sent by the CIA to theAfrican nation of Niger to seeif Cheney’s line that “Iraq isacquiring yellowcake uraniumfrom Niger for nuclearbombs” were true. When Wil-son exposed the charges asgroundless, Cheney, Libbyand the “White House IraqGroup” mounted a campaignto destroy Wilson and his wife,for which they are being in-vestigated by Special Prosecu-tor Patrick Fitzgerald. Almostsimultaneously, Tony Blairpersonally initiated a cam-paign to destroy one of Brit-ain’s top nuclear weapons spe-cialists, Dr. David Kelly, whoexposed Blair’s campaign that“Saddam could launch nucle-

ar weapons within 45 minutes”claim as a hoax. Kelly wasfound dead on July 17, alleg-edly a “suicide.”

Meanwhile, in Australia,one of the “Three Musketeers”of the Iraq War along with theUS and UK, Howard person-ally mounted a campaign toattempt to destroy Office ofNational Assessments analystAndrew Wilkie for exposingthe fact that the ONA knew the“Niger uranium” story was acrude forgery already in 2002,even as Howard made the Ni-ger uranium claim to Parlia-ment on Feb. 4, 2003, as partof the build up for war; thatSaddam’s supposed mobileWMD labs were obviously“mere water tankers, possiblyfire trucks”; and that Austral-ia’s intelligence services werewell aware that the U.S.(Cheney) planned to go to waragainst Iraq, regardless of thelack of documentation ofWMD. Other military or intel-ligence figures who would notlie or manufacture evidencefor the Iraq war, such as Lt.Col. Lance Collins (whobacked Wilkie) or Departmentof Defence analyst Jane Errey,who disputed the WMD claimsas obvious “propaganda”, wereall ruthlessly attacked byHoward and his allies.

Torture:* The Howard government

was fully aware of the system-atic U.S. torture policy at AbuGhraib and Guantanamo Bay,and repeatedly lied in Parlia-ment and elsewhere to enablethat torture policy to continue,including even that of Austral-ian citizens Mamdouh Habiband David Hicks, for whichlatter two the evidence is ex-tensive. As Habib’s lawyer atthe time, Stephen Hopper, stat-ed, “I never thought I wouldsee the day when the Austral-ian Government would aid andabet the torture and abuse ofan Australian citizen on thisscale.” (See “Australia in theMiddle of Iraq Torture Scandal”,June 18, 2004.) Howard’s Anti-Terrorism Act 2004 specificallylegalised, under Australian law,the torture regimes at Abu Gh-raib and Guantanamo.

* The Howard governmentoversaw the systematic tortureof men, women and childrenin the “refugee detention cen-tres” such as Woomera. Theevidence for that charge isoverwhelming, and has been

presented by the United Na-tions Working Group on Arbi-trary Detention; the govern-ment’s own Human Rights andEqual Opportunity Commis-sion; former Woomera nurseBarbara Rogalla; MelbourneQC Julian Burnside, and manyothers. There is also an exten-sive body of evidence that theHoward government was di-rectly involved in the October19, 2001 sinking of the “Sus-pected Illegal Entrance Vehi-cle X” (SIEVX) and the deathof 353 men, women and chil-dren through its agents in In-donesia. Australia’s formerAmbassador to Indonesia TonyKevin has charged, “I believethat the premeditated sinkingof SIEVX was a final deterrentsolution, generated under thisprogram” (the government’sPeople Smuggling DisruptionProgram, PDSP.) See “Austral-ia Tortures Children inCamps”, May 28, 2004.

* Howard introduced hisdraconian Border ProtectionBill 2001 under cover of the“Tampa crisis”. As the Austral-ian Financial Review of Au-gust 31, 2001 noted, “The spe-cial powers would not be opento challenge or reivew by thejudiciary or by Praliament. Thebill was intended to override allother laws, both internationallaws covering seafaring andAustralia’s criminal and civillaw.” When Howard attempt-ed to ram the bill through inan emergency late-night sit-ting, the ALP erupted at thatprovision, forcing evenCheney toady and ALP leaderKim Beazley, to demand its

In the first week of November the LaRouche YouthMovement (LYM) shook up Canberra, distributing

thousands of copies of the Oct/Nov New Citizen Extraheadlined: “LaRouche: ‘Dump Cheney Now!’ on thestreets, and conducting meetings in Parliament. Theymet with 6 MP’s and a number of advisors, briefingthem on LaRouche’s growing influence in Washing-ton, D.C., his battle to force Vice President Dick Cheneyto resign, and his proposals for economic reconstruc-tion, beginning with the auto industry, which industryis as crucial for Australia as it is for the U.S.

withdrawal, though Beazley’sALP ensured the passage ofthe entire bill, minus that pro-vision.

* Howard has repeatedlytried to establish “star cham-ber” courts, under the guise of“anti-terrorism”or “refugees”,which would be outside Aus-tralia’s normal legal system.One such quasi-judicial bodyis the Refugee Review Tribu-nal, from which there is noappeal to any Australian court.One of the RRT’s members,Mirko Bagaric, is head of theDeakin Law School in Mel-bourne, and Australia’s fore-most proponent of torture. Inhis article of May 17, 2005 inThe Age, “A Case for Torture”,Bagaric argued that it wouldbe “verging on moral indecen-cy” not to use torture, if it wereregarded essential in the waron terror. Bagaric’s pro-torturerantings were endorsed by hisfellow Deakin Law Schoolfaculty member James Mc-Convill as “superb” in an OnLine opinion article of Novem-ber 17, 2005. There, McCon-vill gloated that the VictorianParliament Crimes (Homicide)Bill 2005 legalised torture incase of a “sudden or extraor-dinary emergency”, evenwhen the victim is tortured todeath. “As long as the use oftorture is reasonable and pro-portionate”, beast-man Mc-Convill argued, then it is a“useful and reasonable meansof obtaining information abouta crime or potential crime froman individual.”

LAROUCHE WEBCAST

LaRouche on the Tasks Before Us inthe Post-Cheney Era

The following is an abridged ver-sion of Lyndon LaRouche’s openingremarks to the Nov. 16 webcast inWashington, D.C. For the full tran-script, see www.larouchepac.com

Subheads have been added.

...The problem is that, today theworld is in the greatest financial cri-sis in modern history. It’s a point offact that there is no major banking

system in any part of the world—inJapan, generally, or in Europe at all,or in the United States. The FederalReserve System is a collection ofbankrupts, of hopeless bankrupts.The banks that are part of it are hope-less bankrupts, largely because ofthis financial derivatives speculation.In Europe it’s the same situation.There may be some nooks and cran-nies here and there which are not yet

bankrupt, but the major banking sys-tem, the central banking systems, theFederal Reserve System, are hope-lessly bankrupt. There is no way ofsettling accounts, to get out of thismess. In the case of the United States,this means putting the Federal Re-serve System into government re-ceivership—the whole system!—because all the components of thesystem are bankrupt! And therefore,the only thing that can be done is forthe Federal government to take theFederal Reserve System itself intobankruptcy, for reorganization, inorder to ensure that essential func-tions of finance are continued, thatbusinesses don’t close up, that pen-sions are paid, and so forth and soon. A similar situation exists in Eu-rope. A similar situation exists in theworld.

We have two problems, immedi-ately. One is the problem of howwe’re going to stabilize the worldwhen it’s about to go bankrupt, to-tally. We don’t know what day thiswill occur. People who try to fore-cast days don’t understand humani-ty. Sometimes, once in awhile, youcan know that something will hap-pen on a certain day, but most of the

time, what you can know is thatyou’re in a bind, you’re caught in aframework, in which the crash is nowinevitable, in an estimatable range oftime. The day on which it will oc-cur, you don’t know, because humanbeings can make decisions, and thosedecisions can postpone this event orthat event, but at a price. The pricegoes up. The longer you postpone abankruptcy, the more bankrupt youbecome. The longer you postpone re-covery, the worse it becomes.

As we have in the room here to-day, people who represent part of theUAW, which has been thrown intovirtual bankruptcy, you have Gener-al Motors, which is ready to shutdown, at least its domestic opera-tions. It means a whole section of theU.S. economy is about to be shutdown, and if you take out the autoindustry, and take out part of the air-craft industry, we don’t have a ma-chine-tool capability. We are nolonger a sovereign nation! Andthere’s some people who are goingto wait and watch that happen, andwe lose our sovereignty and exist-ence. There’s only one way to stopit, and that is to put the whole she-bang into bankruptcy, and into reor-

ganization, to keep the wheels turn-ing. Now, I’ll talk some more aboutthat, but that’s the kind of problemwe face.

On a World ScaleIf we look at this on a world scale,

it becomes more complicated. Here,you have to think strategically, andhere’s where most people won’t tendto think in this direction. But some-body has to think in this direction. Ithink I’ve got elected for that job.

What we have, is we have a groupof nations. There’s only one nationin the world that is capable of initi-ating a recovery for any part of theworld, and that is the United States.Either we initiate a global bankrupt-cy reorganization of the world sys-tem, or there is no hope for any partof the world.

The danger is not a Depression.We’ve had the Depression. We hadit in October of 1987. [When theNew York Stock Exchange collapsed508 points, or 22.6%, the largest one-day crash in history.-ed.] We had a1929-style Depression, and wefooled around with that. But then theSoviet system collapsed, and then welooted the Soviet system, and we’vebeen living on the gut of the innards,which we’ve been eating at dinnertable, of the Soviet system. We’venow run out of that. We have de-stroyed industries. We’ve ruined our-selves, very much the way [U.S.President Herbert]Hoover ruined usin his term, from 1929 on. You know,the U.S. economy collapsed by halfunder Hoover. It didn’t collapse be-cause of 1929. It collapsed becauseof what Hoover did about 1929! Andwhat Hoover did was the work of agenius compared to what this Presi-dency has done. We have reached thepoint of international bankruptcy, sothe world financial system—the wayit has been operating, especially overabout forty years—is no longer viable.

Australia and America: The Fight for the Common Good

China’s People’s DailyInterviews LaRouche

On November 22, 2005 one day after President Bush concludedhis visit to China, the government-controlled People’s Daily pub-

lished on its English-language website a lengthy interview with U.S.economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche is no strangerto the readers of People’s Daily, since his economic and politicalcomments are referred to regularly in its columns, but this first of aneight-part series is the most sweeping exposure of his thinking andactivities yet to appear in a mainland Chinese publication.

While the interview has not yet been published in Chinese, it wasthe most popular news item of the day, ranking number one in numberof “hits” on the PD Online site. The interview begins with LaRouche’sobservations on the unraveling of the international financial system,which was underlined by the People’s Daily choice of title, “Globalfinancial crisis is coming.”

by Noelene Isherwood

A thoughtful Australian readingthe transcript of American

statesman and economist LyndonLaRouche’s webcast below, will bestruck by the extraordinary parallels inthe havoc which globalisation haswreaked in both countries, but evenmore by what the two countries sharein terms of their best, most optimisticmoments and policies. Everythingwhich LaRouche says about the soulof the real American republic, whichwas established to be a “beacon ofhope” and a “temple of liberty” for theentire world, can be found in Austral-ian history, albeit to a lesser degree.

That “lesser degree” is because ofthe other side of our souls: our herit-age as subjects of the British Empire,and the rotten institutions be-queathed to us from it, such as ourimpotent Anglo-Dutch parliamenta-ry sideshow which passes for “self-government”, instead of the tripar-tite Executive/Judiciary/Legislatureof America, and our “independentcentral banking system”, throughwhich private financiers have usuallydictated everything of importance inour country, though we did once have,for a time, an actual national bank.

Look briefly at the sweep of ourhistory, and you see why La-Rouche’s America—an Americafreed from synarchist influence tobecome once again what it wasfounded to be—is the greatest hopeof any Australian who desires toget our country out of the fascisttyranny toward which it is nowheaded, and to establish, at longlast, a sovereign republic.

Many of the prisoners of the 1788First Fleet were Irish, Scottish andEnglish republicans, ardent admir-ers of the just-concluded 1776-1783American Revolution—a uniqueevent in world history in which ahandful of colonists inspired by theideals of “life, liberty and the pur-suit of happiness”, defeated thegreatest empire the world had everknown. From not long after his ar-rival in 1823 through the mid-1850s,our greatest and most popular polit-ical leader was the Rev. John Dun-more Lang, who regarded himself asthe Benjamin Franklin of Australiaand who fought for an American-style republic, which he called “TheUnited States of Australia”. Langplanned for a popularly-elected pres-ident who was not a creature of an

easily-destabilised parliament, as inthe Anglo-Dutch model. Then, in the1890s, the founders of the Austral-ian Labor Party took the American,rather than the British spelling of“Labor”, to signify their ideals. Fore-most among these ideals is that ex-pressed by the Preamble to the Amer-ican Constitution, which specifiesthat the “general welfare”—the com-mon good of all its citizens and theirposterity—is the guiding principle ofthat entire Constitution, a principleechoed by our greatest trade unionorganiser, W.G. Spence, a co-founderof the ALP:

“The welfare of the people mustbe raised to the first place—must bethe uppermost and foremost consid-eration. How to secure the good ofall… the broadest justice, the widestextension of human happiness, andthe attainment of the highest intel-lectual and moral standard of civi-lised nations should be our aim. …Let each remember that man hadfailed before because each careless-ly left to some other the work of theCommon Good. We must reversethat. Each must take his or her share.With unity above all as our watch-word, the Common Good as our aim,

we will soon find common groundof agreement… The best start we cangive to our children is the certaintyof better conditions; the sweetestmemory of us to them the fact thatwe did so.”

And so, over Britain’s strenuousobjection, Australian republicans in-sisted that the name of our new na-tion upon Federation be “The Com-monwealth of Australia”, and ourConstitution reflected key aspects ofits American predecessor.

When King O’Malley founded theCommonwealth Bank in 1911, heproclaimed, “I am the Hamilton ofAustralia”, referring to General

George Washington’s aide de campin the American Revolution, Alex-ander Hamilton, who then becameAmerica’s first Treasury Secretaryand founder of the First NationalBank of the United States. SaidO’Malley, “He was the greatest fi-nancial man who ever walked theearth, and his plans have never beenimproved upon…”

And then, in World War II, withour country under dire threat of aJapanese invasion, our greatestPrime Minister, John Curtin, pro-claimed in December 1942, “I makeit clear that Australia looks to Amer-ica, free from any pangs about ourtraditional links of friendship to Brit-ain.” Together with General Doug-las MacArthur and his forces, weAustralians under Curtin’s leader-ship turned the tide of the war in thePacific, ensuring the ultimate victo-ry over Hitler’s ally, Japan.

And so, again today, we Austral-ians look to another great American,Lyndon LaRouche, as representingthe best of our own national tradi-tions and of ourselves as a nation. Inthat noble spirit, please read carefullyMr. LaRouche’s historic address ofNovember 16, 2005.

The American RepublicUnder the strictures of the Synar-

chy’s Maastricht Treaty in Europe,which mandates brutal austerity andthe deindustrialisation of the Euro-pean continent, the juridical and po-lice and intelligence agency struc-tures for fascist régimes are system-atically being put in place, just asthey are under Blair in Britain, andunder Howard (and Beazley) in Aus-tralia. In only one nation in WesternEuropean civilisation—the UnitedStates of America—is there a full-scale revolt underway against thefascist police-state measures whichinvariably accompany a Depression,

at least in nations ruled by Anglo-Dutch parliamentary systems, as isAustralia and all of Europe. Thespearhead of this revolt in the U.S.against “torture and fascism” is theLaRouche-led drive to oust Cheney,the Synarchy’s kingpin. The perma-nent institutions of the U.S. republicare slowly but surely mobilising torid the nation of this alien entity.Thus, the greatest ally of any Aus-tralian who is terrified that Australiais rapidly going fascist, is a UnitedStates returning to its true self, un-der the indispensable leadership ofLaRouche and his LaRouche YouthMovement.

This entire international financialsystem is finished, one way or theother. The question is, are we goingto save the nations and the econo-mies?

Now, some people think that aneconomy is a product of a financialsystem. They say, “Well, the bank-ers, oh, they will do something orthey can do something.” They willdo something! Once they’ve broughtin Hitler, they will do something.And if you don’t want a Hitler solu-tion, you’ve got to come up withsomething else.You’ve got to put thebankers into bankruptcy, into receiv-ership.

We have a situation now, as youobserve the way our economy hasbeen destroyed. We used to have alot of farms, independent farms.They don’t exist anymore. [Zbig-niew] Brzezinski [head of the U.S.National Security Council underU.S. President Jimmy Carter, 1977-81-ed.] helped get rid of those, dur-ing the Brzezinski Administration,which was sometimes called polite-ly the Carter Administration. Eh? Weused to have private industries, weused to have machine-tool shops, weused to have all kinds of industries,local industries. We used to have lo-cal businesses, closely held. Not gi-ant corporations. These were the gutof our economy. The giant corpora-tion is not the gut of the economy.

If you look at the gut of an econo-my, any large corporation like Gen-eral Motors, the auto industry, theauto industry does not produce—in terms of General Motors—doesnot produce automobiles! It assem-bles them! The components are de-veloped by subsidiaries. Its com-ponents which are put in, they’relargely from smaller industries. Wehave put out of business the gut ofour economy, the people who pro-duce. We call it a services economy.It’s like a house of prostitution,where people get serviced. It is notreally an economy.

For Example: MonsantoFor example, Monsanto. Monsan-

to should be put into bankruptcy, forintellectual bankruptcy. What doesit do? Some idiot in a corrupt admin-istration decided they could patentnature. It was Monsanto. They could,by various tricks, say they inventedgenes! By discovering one. By map-ping a gene, they say, we “discov-ered” the gene. We can now map it.We own it. You want it? You lease itfrom us, at our prices. So we have asituation where the farmer can nolonger produce seeds. He’s not al-lowed to! He can go to jail for pro-ducing seeds. He’s got to buy themfrom Monsanto.

We are faced with an ecologicalcatastrophe based on this. Our foodchain is based on the homogeniza-tion of types of foodstuffs, for a glo-bal economy. Now, one of the greatthings in food security, just as oneexample of the problem we face, infood security, variation was our de-fense. If a disease hit a particular typeof crop, a particular type of animal,as part of our food supply, or a tree,a type of tree that we needed for ourenvironment, well, some trees woulddie but other trees, which have a slight-ly different genetic structure, would notbe infected and would not die.

But the way we’re homogenizingour food supply, you have one type,it’s called the world tomato, theworld orange, the world banana. Anda simple catastrophe, a genetic ca-tastrophe in the form of a disease,could wipe out that whole supply. It’swhat Monsanto has done to us. It’snot only the United States. They’vedone it to Brazil, they’ve done it toother countries on this planet. So

we’ve been under the reign of abso-lute insanity, of destroying our pro-ductive capabilities, and destroyingthe private initiative on which weused to depend. And making a mys-tique about the giant corporation.

What we have today, which iswhere the danger comes from, be-cause what was done to us was not amistake; it was a crime. It was delib-erate. What has been done to us sincethe reign of Henry Kissinger andBrzezinski, is we have been de-stroyed systematically, beginningwith 1971-72 with the destruction ofour fixed-exchange-rate-system,monetary system. And piece bypiece, every part of our economy thatmade us independent, or the econo-mies of other nations, has been de-stroyed. It’s been destroyed by envi-ronmentalism, by globalization, bymethods of the type I just describedto you. We no longer have a residueof private businesses, private entre-preneurships, as being the gut of em-ployment and the gut of productionin our economy, or any other part ofthe world, to speak of.

What we have is giant corpora-tions. These giant corporations arenot actually producers, they’re slaveowners. They’re controlled by inter-national financier interests, which donot belong in the United States. Mostof these entities, which are power-ful, have no loyalty to the UnitedStates or to any government. Wehave been globalized. We have beeninternationalized. We have now a

virtual system of world government,under the power of these bankruptinstitutions, these financial institu-tions, which control the world.

The intention has been to elimi-nate the sovereign nation-state. Toeliminate production as a power ofeconomies. To globalize everything.To produce a world economy, inwhich there are no nation-states, inwhich the highest power in the worldis international financial wealth, typ-ified by the mentality of someonelike, say, Felix Rohatyn of the Unit-ed States, or people like that, whoare part of an international cabal, thesame cabal which, on a smaller scaleback in the 1920s and 1930s, calledthe Synarchist International, gave usfascism. Fascism in Italy, 1922. Fas-cism in Germany, Hitler, donethrough the Bank for InternationalSettlements. And Hjalmar Schacht,done by what? By the head of theBank of England, Montagu Norman.With the support of whom? With thesupport of the grandfather of thepresent President of the UnitedStates, who wrote the order to a Ger-man bank, which re-funded a bank-rupt Nazi Party in time for Hitler tobe appointed as Chancellor of Ger-many. These same international fin-ancier interests, in a greatly bloated,expanded form, have been headedfor world government. How did thishappen?

The Most Powerful EconomyThe United States, of course, came

out of the Depression as the mostpowerful economy the world hasever seen. We were already the mostpowerful economy in the world in1940-41, before we went to war. Wedid not become powerful because ofthe war. We became powerfulenough to conduct the war. Whereother countries would have hundreds

of pounds per soldier, we had tons!We had the greatest logistical powerthe world had ever seen. We had 16-17 million people in military serv-ice, the greatest army in history. Andwe saved the world. And we saved itbecause of President Franklin Roo-sevelt, who understood what he wasdoing. Then Roosevelt died, andHarry Truman, who was a pig, tookover. And Harry Truman was not theauthor of the idea. Harry Truman wasthe guy who worked for the guyswho did give the orders, includingthe people who owned WinstonChurchill. We were headed for WorldWar III before World War II ended.

Winston Churchill, for example,wanted to go to war against the So-viet Union while we were still fight-ing Hitler, and then Roosevelt died,and that sort of succeeded. We hadtwo nuclear weapons which had not

been approved, because we hadn’trun the tests yet on the—we hadthree nuclear weapons. One fortesting and two were prototypes.They were not production-lineweapons, they were prototypes.

One was a uranium bomb, theother was a plutonium bomb. Oneof each. The original intention had

been to use one of these on Berlin,but before we had the job ready, Ger-many surrendered. We couldn’t useit on Berlin. We did, under Britishdirection, destroy a lot of cities whichwere innocent cities, which were cit-ies of civilians, not military targets,just to prove how nasty we could get.Then, when Truman became Presi-dent, he was told about the nuclearweapons, and under British orders,we used them on Hiroshima andNagasaki, civilian targets. We usedthem because we had them. And weused them because we wanted to startWorld War III, nuclear World WarIII. By then, the Soviets, in the courseof the late 1940s, developed nuclearweapons and achieved priority in de-veloping an operational model of athermonuclear weapon. So we shift-ed to a different policy.

This was all intended. We wentinto a right-wing turn. We didn’t con-tinue our investigation of the Nazis,the Nazi bankers, the funders. Westopped it. Allen Dulles, who becamethe head of the CIA, brought the hardcore of the Nazi system, into the Al-lied security system, including theCIA. This is the issue we have aboutthe torture thing. The torture mech-anism of the Nazis was taken overby the United States and British. Itwas run from Germany, occupiedGermany. These institutions were in-corporated into the CIA, into Britishintelligence and other places, andthey resulted in things like the Pino-chet regime in Chile, and OperationCondor in southern South Americaunder Henry Kissinger’s reign. Andthat has been going on from the endof the war to the present day.

The Assault on the AmericanSystem

So this is the kind of world we’vebeen living in. It was intentionally

created. The intention was, to elimi-nate the United States. Because aslong as the United States existed inthe Constitutional form that Roo-sevelt represented, fascism could notcome back in the world. And financecapital could not become a predator,to eat the world. So the goal was, getFranklin Roosevelt out of the Amer-icas. Destroy the American System.Destroy the American agro-industri-al system. President Kennedy waskilled, and the program went into fullswing. Eisenhower had warnedagainst it, but it went into full swing.So, from the time we went into theIndo-China war, we were headed to-ward our own self-destruction.

Our adversary was not the SovietUnion. We had an adversary in theSoviet Union, but that was second-ary. Our adversary was closer tohome, in our own financial system,in our own banking and financialsystem. They wanted to destroy us.

Look at the effect! Did they de-stroy us? Look at the standard of liv-ing in the lower 80% of our familyincome brackets, since 1977. Therehas been a consistent decline. Lookat the pattern of our states. Look atthe state of Michigan! Look at thestate of Ohio! Look at western Penn-sylvania. Look at states across thecountry, especially the northern belt.Look at the Grain Belt. We have beendestroyed!

How? By policy. It has been thepolicy to destroy us. It has been thepolicy to uproot the United States foronce and for all, for what it repre-sents. This is the enemy! This is thereal enemy!

A System of EmpireAnd we’ve lived under a system

of empire. We had the Roman Em-pire, which emerged out of the Sec-ond Punic War. We’ve had the sec-ond Roman Empire of Byzantium.When that collapsed, we had theVenetian Empire, with the Venetianbanking system and the Normanchivalry, with its Crusades, as pred-ators, which destroyed most of Eu-rope and most of civilization, untilthey collapsed in the 14th Century.

We had the birth of the modernnation-state in the 15th Century inEurope, with the Council of Flor-ence. But then they came to destroyit, and they destroyed it beginning

in 1492 with religious warfare,which went on until the 1648 Treatyof Westphalia. And when we thoughtwe’d licked that, they came backwith something else, called the Brit-ish Empire, which started actually in1763, and the British empire, or theAnglo-Dutch liberal system, as it’sotherwise called, or the VenetianParty, has dominated the world sincethat time, except for one little repub-lic, which became a giant, the Unit-ed States. Everything good that hashappened on this planet, of any sig-nificance, has come from the UnitedStates.

For example. Once we defeatedslavery, which was a British thingstuck into us to try to destroy us, fromthe 1820s until the Civil War; oncewe defeated that, once we went awayfrom a free-trade system back to aprotectionist system, the AmericanSystem, we became a great power.By 1876, at our Centennial Celebra-tion in Philadelphia, we were ac-knowledged as a great power. Andthen Bismarck’s Germany, in 1877-1878, adopted the American Systemas an industrial model, complete witha social welfare system, which isbeing destroyed only today.

Russia. The great scientist Men-delyev, was in Philadelphia, wentback to Alexander III, and theylaunched the great industrializationinside Russia, including the trans-Siberian railroad. Japan, 1877, fromthe United States, became an indus-trial nation, and on the road to thepower that Japan represents today.China, later on, in the struggle forNew China, was a reflection of thesame thing, under Sun Yat-sen. Allthe great things happened.

And then, the British Empire start-ed a war, starting in 1888-1890. Bis-marck was overthrown, whichopened the gates for warfare. ThePresident of France was murdered,to open the gates for warfare. Vari-ous things of the same type hap-pened. Japan was urged to betray theUnited States, and to launch the firstwar against China in 1894-1895, andthat led to Pearl Harbor, because theBritish in the early 1920s had madea treaty with Japan, for naval war-fare against the United States. Theplan included the plan for an attackon Pearl Harbor. Later the Britishand the Japanese divided opinion,

“So we have a situation where thefarmer can no longer produce seeds.He’s not allowed to! He can go to jailfor producing seeds. He’s got to buythem from Monsanto. We are facedwith an ecological catastrophe basedon this.”

We have, implicitly, the potentialwith Europe. ...

If the U.S. market collapses,where’s China? It goes into a spiralof collapse. If the U.S. market col-lapses, where does India go? Wheredoes Europe go? Where does Indiago if Europe and the United Statesboth collapse?

So you’re looking at a worldwhich is in danger, and it’s in dan-ger because of free trade. You cannot maintain this planet as a safeplace to live, while you maintainfree trade and allow globalization.You must have an American-styleprotectionist system, in which wehave trade barriers. We set up pro-tection so that goods are not pro-duced below the true cost of theirproduction. And the true cost of pro-duction is the cost of maintaining thepopulation as a whole, which pro-duces that wealth! Which meanspensions, it means social welfaresystems, educational systems, healthcare systems. It means infrastructurein general.

Now, of an economy in general,50% of any modern economy is aninvestment in infrastructure. Theseare investments which run with alifespan of 25 to 50 years, a 25-50-year investment, in dams, power sys-tems generally, water managementsystems, mass transit systems, high-speed mass transit systems, not allthese trucks trying to crowd high-ways, and turning superhighwaysinto parking lots at rush hour time,but a real system. Power systemswhich provide adequate power, at thedensities we require. Maintenance ofour area, so we maintain our envi-ronment, maintain our forests, main-tain the productive biological struc-ture of our nation. It costs money. Itcosts effort. And we have to treat thiseffort as part of the cost of produc-tion!

Pensions are part of the cost ofproduction! To provide for the agedis part of the cost of production, be-cause the aged and the young are partof a system, just like children are partof a system. They may not be work-ing. They may not be employed. Butthey are an essential part of a sys-tem, and you have to pay for the sys-tem. You have to maintain the sys-tem physically, materially. It’s calledthe American System, the protection-ist system, which we understoodbetter after the experience of the De-pression, and the experience of thesuccesses under Franklin Roosevelt.The world needs a Franklin Roo-sevelt system.

Now, to have that kind of a sys-tem, which means about half of your

total investment, in internationaltrade, in fact, about half of that, is inlong-term investment, either in ba-sic economic infrastructure, like damsystems, power systems, water sys-tems, whatnot; education systems,health-care systems; but also in hightechnology, which means capital-intensive technology in agriculture andindustry. These also are long-term in-vestments—nearly 10, 15, 25 years,too. A good machine tool—it lasts fora long time, it’s adapted to many newthings. But it’s an investment you musthave, and you must maintain it.

So therefore, that means that youhave to have a fixed-exchange-ratesystem. You must fix the prices ofcurrencies among each other, in afixed way, so that you don’t havefluctuations in prices, and rates, andcosts on investment. In that way, youcan have stable agreements. Be-cause—what?

Creation of CreditWhere are we going to get the cap-

ital, to rebuild this world economy?The banks are bankrupt! Where areyou going to borrow the money?There are no banking systems thatcan provide the financial capital forrecovery! It doesn’t exist! Thesebanks are bankrupt. Where does themoney come from? It comes fromthe creation of credit by govern-ments! In a regulated system. The

creation of credit by governments,for the purposes of long-term loans,at fixed prices, for investments in in-frastructure, and for providing in-vestments for capital investments inuseful industry and agriculture.

These loans, which are what? At1-2% interest, simple interest, overthe long term, run through a bank-ing system which is coordinated bythe government, as a national bank-ing system—private banks partici-pating in a system coordinated bygovernment—get this credit out, theway we used war production creditduring World War II. You get thecredit out, for what are declared tobe purposes of national interest.

The first thing, is to try to bringthe level of population in production,up to the level that you’re abovebreakeven. Now, if you’re operatingabove breakeven, current breakeven,you’re not in bad condition. There-fore, get above breakeven.

Once you’re above breakeven,now you bring into play technologi-cal progress, which will increase theproductive powers of labor and thequality of product. Now you get realgrowth. And the next generation willbe better off than the present one.And so forth and so on. That’s theAmerican System at its best.

Now, we had the basis for that, at

the end of the war. The basis wasprovided by the leadership of Frank-lin Roosevelt, in what becameknown as the Bretton Woods system,which was destroyed by the friendsof Kissinger, and Shultz, in 1971-72,under Nixon, but was in the processof being destroyed even beforethat—because the Vietnam Warhelped to do that. So therefore, wedestroyed the system, we went to afloating-exchange-rate system, wedestroyed the world economy, by afloating-exchange-rate system. Weno longer had a stable system ofcredit, at fixed rates, the fixed ex-change rates, over long periods,where you could efficiently have thedevelopment of economies on a largescale, or the world economy.

We have to, therefore, create thatkind of system, again. But this time,we have to create it to include notonly the Americas, not only theAmericas and Europe, but we haveto also include Asia. And if we dothat, then we have the means fordealing with a great stain on our con-science: What Henry Kissinger didto Africa.

And Africa is going to requiregreat aid from these countries—notlending as much as great aid in in-frastructure: Because, what we’vedone to Africa, sub-Saharan Africa,is a crime beyond belief. They do not

have the means of recovering ontheir own. The biological effectsthat we’ve imposed on Africa un-der these conditions, are such thatthey don’t have the ability to rebuildon their own. We must help them.That is our moral obligation. Wemust give them things, to help get

them started. We have to get themthrough the next generation, to tryto get them back on their own feetagain, and help them develop.

So therefore, we in the UnitedStates, looking at what the Senate isfacing today, we have to look ahead.We have to say: We’re in a war,against an enemy. The enemy arethese institutions, these financier in-stitutions which have come to de-stroy us, which have almost de-stroyed our nation, and corrupted ourpeople, as was done to the childrenborn after the close of World War II.That’s the first thing. We have to re-store the system that was destroyed,rebuild the nation. We have to thinkabout rebuilding the world, and re-building as I indicated.

That means, we have to build aworld system. And so, the war isagainst the enemy, who has de-stroyed us and other nations, by hisDelphic methods. But we have tocreate a system which is accepted byother nations, as a mutual system,and that is the peace. That is the vic-tory. That means that we have to docertain things, not simply becausethey’re convenient for us here. Wehave to do things, because we haveto do them now, or they won’t bedone by the world, and then wewould suffer from that.

because of Churchill, on this ques-tion. But Japan came on and carriedout the plan for the attack on PearlHarbor, and we had people in ourown country that covered up the factthat that attack was coming, whichwas the famous trial of Billy Mitch-ell, when he proposed to develop car-rier aircraft to deal with what weknew in our military intelligence,was the plan of Japan and Britain foran attack by British and Japanesenaval forces against the UnitedStates. History changed things. TheBritish came to us to rescue them,later on, but in the meantime, Japancontinued the policy, and attacked usat Pearl Harbor, according to theirearlier agreement with the British.

The policy was to destroy us! Notbecause we were that good. We werenever quite that good. We had somepretty bad Presidents, you know, andsome pretty rotten people here andthere, and some rotten practices. Butthe character of our nation, the con-ception of our nation as a state, wasa product of the best thinking of allEuropean civilization. People fromEurope built up this United States ofours, because they wanted a bastion,which would become a model, forthem. Would set a precedent, forthem, to secure the same kind of free-dom we had, the same kind of sys-tem we represented. And those whorepresent this idea of financial em-pire, or a worldwide services econ-omy, which is the same thing as slav-ery, have been determined to destroythese United States, by one way orthe other. If they couldn’t take us onby direct attack, they would corruptus from inside. And the great destruc-tion of the United States has comefrom the inside, not from externalenemies! We couldn’t be defeated byany external enemy, unless we de-stroyed ourselves, inside, first. Andthat’s been the case for the UnitedStates ever since Lincoln’s victoryover the Confederacy, and getting ridof Maximilian in Mexico. And that’sthe problem we have to understand.

Our Historic MissionNow, that being the case, we have

a mission. We have an historic mis-sion, which goes back much earlierthan the 18th Century, much earlierthan the 1763 process where we be-gan to fight, to struggle for our lib-erty. Our mission is to bring forth onthis planet, a kind of society, a soci-ety of sovereign nation-states, whichis a durable form of life for humani-ty, for generations yet to come.

We’re now at the point where, asthe financier powers which havebrought upon us this latest disaster,

and who are behind these poor fools,this poor idiot Bush, the President,and this poor depressed, depravedcriminal, Cheney, are being used astools against us, and the question is,how do we—we now have goodsigns, we have the signs that our in-stitutions are working. The Con-gress, the Senate, has shown that itworks. The system works, apart fromits imperfections. It works, nonethe-less! And that is a good system,which absorbs imperfections and yetfunctions to perform its mission. Ourinstitutions are well-designed, whenthey’re used properly.

We have now won a victory. Wehave in a sense recaptured our coun-try. Since the summer of last year—we had seen the Democratic Partyconverted into the anti-Rooseveltparty—we have now swung back inlarge degree to the memory of FDR,and to what he represented. An atti-tude of, “we can do it again.” It’s notperfect, but the Senate has shown,and other institutions have respond-ed, that in this country there’s stillthe potential to rebuild and recapturethis country to what it represents.And a lot of good things have hap-pened, including the beginning of thefrog-march.

But then, beyond that, we have thislarger issue. We can not live as theUnited States today, isolated in aworld that’s disintegrating. There-fore, we have to think about whatkind of a world system is required:Not because we impose it, likeGeorge Bush’s conception of de-mocracy, but because other nationswhich may or may not agree with uson many things, know that it is wis-dom on their part to cooperate withus to build this kind of a world sys-tem.

Now, we’re talking of a world sys-tem, we’re talking, first of all, aboutthe Americas and Europe. The statesof the Americas are, for various rea-sons, particularly since the develop-ments which occurred in them inSouth and Central America, afterLincoln’s victory, they became moreand more oriented to the NorthAmerican system. And what you willfind that is generally good in theserepublics, are constitutional and re-lated legacies which reflect the sys-tem of the United States, as in Mex-ico, as in other countries of the hem-isphere. So, if we do the right thing,we will have not too much difficultyin finding a policy with a person likePresident Kirchner of Argentina andothers; we will have no difficulty inrebuilding the system of the Ameri-cas, the sovereign states of the Amer-icas. That will not be a big challenge.

“Our mission is to bring forth onthis planet, a kind of society, a soci-ety of sovereign nation-states, whichis a durable form of life for humanity,for generations yet to come.”

If the World Goes to HellWe can not survive as a nation, if

the world goes to Hell. Therefore, theway we act as a nation in our inter-ests, must take into account the ef-fect of our policy, or our lack of pol-icy, on the rest of the world. Becauseit’s the kind of world we’re helpingto build, in which our posterity willlive! And we have to think about thepeace, the peace for our posterity: aworld in which they can live, for gen-erations to come! We have to buildthat kind of a system. Our Constitu-tional system contains that potential:No other nation on this planet hasthat potential, that we have! There-fore, we have to use what we are;we have to use our heritage for thatpurpose.

This means, of course, that theplanet is getting smaller. Not really,but it’s smaller in terms of humanaction, in the size of human popula-tion. This is particularly evident tous in Asia, where the great part ofthe whole world’s population is nowlocated.

Now, we can’t maintain the worldthe way we’ve been running it up tonow. We have to develop new kindsof resources, new technologies, newsciences, new branches of science.We have to engage in a policy of con-tinuing scientific revolution and tech-nological progress. This relies uponwhat?

It relies on three things: First ofall, the quality of intellectual devel-opment of our population, includingour young—educational systems.Presently, they stink! We have aYouth Movement going, and theYouth Movement is struggling withalmost no means, but it’s doing a bet-ter job than the universities are, interms of actual knowledge. We cando it. All right: We need a new edu-cational system, an education for re-ality, an education for science, notthis gobbledygook we get for serv-ices economy nonsense. “Bend over,I’ll service you”—hmm? Right?

Also, we need the application, atechnological orientation of entre-preneurship: Because the way youget things done, is—you have to un-derstand the human mind. Somepeople know how to destroy the hu-man mind, but they don’t know howit works. They just don’t like it—“Let’s destroy it! Destroy it! Grrr!Get rid of it, it’s a problem!”

Now, we call it “private initiative,”that’s a bad word, because of theconnotations of it. But, in point offact, any discovery, or re-discovery,or development of a discovery, oc-curs primarily within an individualmind, as a sovereign act of an indi-vidual personality. And society is asystem of cooperation among sov-ereign, individual personalities.Someone gets an idea, it spills overto someone else, they cooperate andso forth, and things happen. Andtherefore, you want a system—youcan call it an “entrepreneurial sys-tem”—in which the greatest freedomfor people is to use their individualminds in collaboration to makethings happen, that make things bet-ter. And this is usually science-ori-ented, or science-application orient-ed. So therefore, you need a systemwhich is a science-and culture-driv-er system, which should be centredin our educational system.

Now, you need a system which canabsorb that, in the labor force. So youneed a system of organization of en-trepreneurship, in which this naturalpotential of the educated populationis expressed. You don’t say, “We’regoing to prescribe it, you’re goingto invent this.” You prescribe a prob-lem. Somebody comes up with a so-lution. That’s entrepreneurship. So

you need that kind of a system.

The Machine-Tool PrincipleNow, we have in society, certain

categories of people, some of whomare represented here today, who areassociated with the machine-toolsector of industry. If you want pro-duction, if you want progress, sci-ence is not enough.

For example: Suppose you’re ascientist, you make a discovery: howdo you certify a discovery? Well, youhave to design a test apparatus,which actually is a test-of-principleapparatus. Now, in that apparatus,you will have built in something,which actually is new. It tests theprinciple you have never conscious-ly used before. You’re testing to seeif it actually works, the way you haveconjectured it would. Right? Now,once you’ve done that, and it doeswork, now you have a secret you’vediscovered: That test apparatus, thatyou designed (and you could proba-bly go back and do a better job ofredesigning it later), but that test ap-paratus you’ve designed, is the basisfor what we call “machine-tool de-sign.”

Now, this is the way you take apopulation which has moderateskills, moderate scientific skills, andthrough the machine-tool approach,you produce product and systemswhereby a large population, thou-sands of people, can work around afew hundred people, who are in-volved in machine-tool design. In asense, the machine-tool designer, byintroducing innovation into the pro-ductive process, and employingthousands of people in using the in-novation, increases the productivepowers of labor of the entire popu-lation. So, what they’re trying to dowith destroying General Motors, andthe rest of the auto industry—asthey’re doing, as a productive indus-try; and the aircraft industry—whatthey’re doing, is destroying the ma-chine-tool capability of the UnitedStates! Which means, what? We nolonger have the ability to developtechnology, we can only copy otherpeople’s. We’re being destroyed.

And the poor people in the UnitedStates, who have come to believe ina services economy, don’t under-stand that. There are people in theSenate, who don’t yet understandthat. People in other channels of gov-ernment, don’t understand that. Peo-ple in parties will argue against that!They don’t understand it.

But, the success of the U.S. econ-omy depends upon it!

Take the success under Roosevelt:Do you know what we did, in WorldWar II, in going into it? Do you knowhow many machine-tools were sit-ting out there with the U.S. govern-ment tag on them? We took peoplewho had no machine tools—wemass-produced machine tools undergovernment contract. We leasedthese out to firms that had govern-ment contracts for military and re-lated production. We produced as noone had ever seen production before!With a machine-tool system. Rosiethe Riveter became a machine-toolspecialist—out of a household!That’s the way it worked. That’s oursystem! ...

[Mr. LaRouche then chronicledthe destruction of the physical in-frastructure of the U.S. (power andwater, in particular) over the last fortyyears, with graphics.]

Biosphere and NoosphereNow, on top of that: The world is

somewhat in trouble. The world aswe know it, is divided into three are-as of chemical activity. One is theabiotic system. Second, is living

processes and their products. Thethird, is human intellectual activityand its products, which is a growingpercentage of the total fossil accu-mulation of the planet. Now, ourobjective is, to increase the ratio ofhuman [cognition] to Biosphere, toabiotic.

Now, what we depend upon whenwe mine for minerals, we don’t gointo the core of the Earth to get ourminerals. We go into the fossil areaof the Earth, which is called the Bio-sphere. For example: What is a fos-sil? Well, the atmosphere is a fossil.The atmosphere was produced byliving processes. Water is a fossil. Itis produced by living processes. Thereason we have oceans and rivers andthings, is because biological, livingprocesses, produced water. And thiswater accumulated and it becameoceans and whatnot. We produced—the living processes produced theatmosphere we have, the carbon di-oxide. You know, plants love carbondioxide. Carbon dioxide is not a pol-lutant. We should increase the car-bon dioxide content of the atmos-phere: The plants would be muchhappier, and it wouldn’t be incon-venient for us. They grow much bet-ter with carbon dioxide—that’s whatthey feed on! That’s what a greenplant does, a chlorophyll plant feedson carbon dioxide! It’s its favoritedessert. You want to make the plantshappy? Give them more carbon di-oxide!

What do you do? If you want tohave real growth, build a hothouse—you may not like the carbon dioxideconcentration, but the plants will beecstatic, and they’ll grow wonderful-ly for you. They gobble up that car-bon dioxide! Just give them enoughpower and carbon dioxide, andthey’re happy: They’ll produce veg-etation like mad.

So, we’re now at the point wherewe have to consider the fact that weare tending to deplete the mineralsin the Biosphere. Now, the mineralsin the Biosphere, like iron and soforth, we get them because they areconcentrated as what? They are partof the dead bodies of living things.You get a potassium concentration,iron concentration, any other kind ofconcentration: Usually, this concen-tration is the result of the residue ofdead living things. That’s how peo-ple know how to find these things:They go into areas where they knowthis kind of development occurs, andthey’re looking for a residue of a for-merly living process of a certain type,and they get iron there, they’ll getthis there, and so forth. That’s the

way it works.So, therefore, we’re getting to the

point that the planet is becomingsomewhat depleted, in terms of therate at which we’re consumingknown resources of these types—and we have to start thinking aboutreplenishing them! And that’s a prob-lem in advanced physics, of high-power physics. So therefore, theeconomy of the world is going tohave to change, and shift from a low-power-density economy, to a high-power-density economy, so that wecan manage the planet with newtechnologies, where we no longersimply go down there and grab rawmaterials, which are left over fromdead living things millions of yearsago; but now, we’re capable of re-generating something, rather thansimply using it up. We’re going tothat kind of economy. Therefore, wehave to go to a high-power econo-my, a high-technology, high-powereconomy. We have to go from acheap-labor economy, to a machine-tool economy. That’s the directionwe have to take.

We have to think about a worldsystem, which respects the fact of thenation-state, maintains it. Don’t tryto globalize the world. No more glo-balization. Cheney’s already too fat.

Looking to the FutureGo to a managed system, where

we rely upon our scientific respon-

sibilities for development. Let eachnation develop with its culture, in itsown way. And what we need is asystem of cooperation among thosenation-states. The obvious thing isthe United States’ relationship to itsneighbors in the Americas, which isa unit of cooperation. The UnitedStates’ cooperation directly, for ex-ample, with Europe, as with Conti-nental Europe, in particular. And en-visaging the cooperation betweenGermany and Russia, as a pivot forcooperation throughout Eurasia: Be-cause Germany and Russia are keyto trade with China, and trade withIndia, for example, and Central Asia.So then, we have to deal, again, withthe African question.

So therefore, we need to create aworld system, as a system of coop-eration among sovereign nation-states. Doing this as a United Stateswhich is proceeding from its owncharacter, its own Constitutionalcharacter, its own historically deter-mined Constitutional character.And—maybe the world will stophating us.

But, that’s our responsibility. Notsimply to address the problems be-fore us, not to come up with practi-cal, immediate responses to prob-lems. We have to look ahead. Wehave to look ahead three generations.And we have to take the steps nowthat are necessary, so that two or

In both the United States and Australia, the vital automobile indus-

try—the cornerstone of both na-tions’ industrial capacity—is on theverge of being destroyed by theWall St./City of London-centredfinancier cabal running globalisa-tion. A debate has erupted in bothcountries on how to deal with thecrisis, but the only actual solutionson the table come from physicaleconomist and statesman LyndonH. LaRouche, Jr.: the conversion ofmuch of the oversized auto indus-try into production of vital compo-nents of desperately needed nation-al infrastructure, including powerplants, mass-transit systems, watermanagement systems, etc., undertariff protection and with creditssupplied by government.

On November 22 Ford Motor Co.Chairman Bill Ford gave a speechin Washington, D.C., when heurged a “collaboration betweengovernment and business” to savethe industry, including provision oftax credits for the conversion ofauto factories. LaRouche laudedFord’s call, and in an open letter tohim, specified the broader approachwhich must be taken. (See accom-panying excerpts.) LaRouche’sopen letter and an accompanyingpiece in which he specified furthernecessary measures for recoverycirculated throughout the U.S. Con-gress and widely internationally.

Auto: Bastion of Machine-toolsAt issue here is the continued

very existence of the nation-statesof Australia and America, since, inboth countries, the auto industryrepresents the heart and soul of in-dustrial and manufacturing capac-ity. A take down of the auto indus-try in the U.S., will decimate theU.S.’s machine tool capacity (thetools which make other tools),without which a nation can not re-ally be sovereign, as Australiafound out during World War II,when it went from just three ma-chine tool manufacturers to 200 in

1943, producing 14,000 machinetools annually. Although our ma-chine tool industry has subsequent-ly been decimated due to the anti-industrial, globalist policies begin-ning under Hawke/Keating in 1983,our auto sector is the heart of ourvital tooling industry (cutting toolsand jigs and dies, in particular). Asformer Melbourne mayor and 32-year GM veteran Ivan Deveson re-cently observed, “There is nodoubt, that the automotive indus-try is the backbone of manufactur-ing technology.” The technologiesdeveloped in and for the auto in-dustry flows into a whole range ofindustries, including aeronauticalmanufacturing and the defense in-dustries. As in America duringWorld War II, when Ford led theway in conversion to producebombers and other aircraft, the autoindustry technology in Australia inplaces like Fisherman’s Bend wasused to produce the weapons weused to defend ourselves.

The Social CostThere is a staggering social cost

at issue, as well. In Australia,55,000 people work directly in thecar-making industry, with some300,000 jobs overall dependent onthe industry. In the United States,the massive cutbacks in auto pro-duction already over the past cou-ple of decades of globalisation havealready devastated whole sectionsof the U.S., particularly in its in-dustrial heartland states of Pennsyl-vania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.Take just GM itself: In 1978, GMemployed 520,000 productionworkers in the U.S., but by the startof 2005 globalisation had shrunkthis to only 114,000. GM shut fivemore production facilities this year,reducing its employees to 106,000.On November 21, General Motors’lunatic CEO Rick Wagoner an-nounced that he would close all orparts of 12 more GM plants in theU.S. and Canada and fire 30,000production workers—slashingGM’s production workforce by an-

other 30,000! A week earlier, theCEO of GM spinoff Delphi (theU.S.’s largest auto-parts maker)Wall St. thug Steve Miller, declaredthat he would lay off 24,000 ofDelphi’s 34,750 production work-ers in the U.S. and Canada—stag-gering 71% of the workforce.Whole cities and even states in theU.S. will turn into ghosttowns. Theauto cuts are already hitting hardhere, with 14,000 jobs lost in justthe last three years, with manythousands more to come. GMHolden, for instance, just an-nounced that 1400 jobs at its Eliz-abeth assembly plant in South Aus-tralia will go, on top of large num-bers of other cutbacks already an-nounced or planned in the auto in-dustry in Victoria and South Aus-tralia. Our $10 billion parts indus-try will be flattened, as well. TheAustralian federal government hasno plan to stop this wholesale de-struction, and the state of Victoria’srecent commission offered no so-lutions either. Both embrace globali-sation and proclaim that Australiansjust have to learn to “work smarter”,as their jobs flood overseas.

The Assault on General MotorsThe Synarchist financiers are

moving in for the kill on GeneralMotors, the largest industrial firmin the world: the company has $485billion in physical assets, whilespeculative, highly-leveragedhedge funds have driven down thevalue of its stocks to a miniscule$13.5 billion, making GM a sittingduck to be taken over and looted.In recent years, hedge funds haveincreasingly combined their finan-cial muscle (illegally) to strip ma-jor corporations. They take over anailing company (whose stock theyusually have driven down in the firstplace), strip it, sell off its assets,leave it a bankrupt shell, and thenmove on to the next victim.

In his November 16 webcast,LaRouche was frank about thedwindling power of the labourmovement in this depression and its

inability to use “normal” trade un-ion tactics to win against the bank-ers and their fascists like Delphichief Steve Miller, who not onlyplans to sack 71% of his unionisedworkforce but reduce the wages ofthose remaining to $10-12 dollarsan hour, out of which they will haveto pay most of their own health carefor the first time. This need for la-bour to “go political”, instead of beg-ging for scraps at the globalist table,is exactly what the leaders of Aus-

The CEC in 1998 issued its compre-hensive dossier (including the flowchart shown here) on the plot by RioTinto to crush organised labour, Stopthe British Crown Plot to Crush Aus-tralia’s Unions. (Queen Elizabeth II isthe single largest shareholder in RioTinto.) The pamphlet opened, “Ex-cepting the special case of World warII, when our entire nation was in mor-tal peril, the Australian labour move-ment today faces the worst threat toits existence since the fierce on-slaughts of the early 1890s, whentroops were deployed to crush theshearers and dockers.” To defeat thisthreat, we said, labour must name thenames of its actual enemies, and“Come out of your defensive foxholes

to take responsibility for the nation asa whole.” The Combet/Burrows ACTUleadership, too gutless or too stupid,

did neither. However, the CEC’scharges that Rio Tinto was behind theIR “reforms” were finally aired (with-

out attribution, but in unmistakeabledetail) as a feature of Channel 9’sSunday Program on November 20,

2005, including, ironically—and belat-edly—by Combet himself.

Which Way for U.S., Australian Auto:Conversion with LaRouche, or Wipeout?

tralia’s labour movement did whenthey founded the ALP, after labourhad been crushed in the brutalshearers’ and dockers’ strike of1890. A taste of how this is donewas seen in the extraordinary lob-bying day in Washington, D.C. onNovember 17, when leaders of theUnited Auto Workers joined theLaRouche Youth Movement to un-leash an earthquake in the U.S.Congress. (See accompanying ar-ticles next page.)

three generations from now,when certain kinds of problemsbecome mature, that we havelaid the groundwork for the abil-ity of our descendants, to solvethose problems. We can not sitback, and just simply put onething on top of the other. We haveto think ahead. We have to thinkof the past, we have to think ofthe future, but we have to thinkahead.

We need a system for this plan-et, that will last for 50 to 100years to come, in terms of rela-tions among nation-states. Weneed a system of cooperation.We need a system of vision, ofwhere we are going! We need asystem of values, of what we val-ue, as accomplishment. We need

an orientation toward our chil-dren: Especially our young adultchildren, who have 50 years ofwork, and influence before them:They are our future! Withoutthem, we don’t have a future!And therefore, their fate, for 50years to come, is us: We will die,but whether our lives mean any-thing or not, will depend, 50years from now, on what happensto those young people, what kindof a world we create for them.

That’s strategy. Not war. Strat-egy is strategy for peace, forbuilding a system which is sogood, that people don’t want tobreak it, and therefore, you havepeace.

Thank you. [ovation]

LYM, UAW Leaders Join Forces to Shake Up Capitol Hillby L. Wolfe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17(EIRNS)—Capitol Hill and theU.S. Congress were the epicenterfor a political earthquake today, 85-100 members of the LaRoucheYouth Movement (LYM) werejoined by more than 150 Ohiomembers of the United Autowork-ers for a rally outside the Capitoland a mass lobbying effort intend-ed to force the Congress to takeaction to save the nation’s auto in-dustry and critical machine-toolcapacity from collapse.

Many of the UAW leaders, alongwith other trade-union officials, hadarrived early to participate in Dem-ocrat Lyndon LaRouche’s Nov. 16webcast, where they heard theformer Presidential candidate reit-erate his call for Congressional ac-tion to save GM and the auto in-dustry’s machine tool capacity.Most of these also participated in aspecial post-webcast dinner dialoguewith LaRouche where he empha-sised the need for a new politicaltrade-union militancy to fight for anFDR-style recovery program, basedon support for the Constitutionalprinciple of the General Welfare.

The rally and lobbying came asGM inched closer to bankruptcy, andas the management of already-bank-rupt Delphi prepared in effect to liq-uidate its union contract, eliminat-ing its benefit and pension programs.

Marching on the CapitolTwo busloads of Ohio UAW

members and retirees arrived here

this morning. The unionistsmarched through the streets to a sitenear the Cannon Office Buildingfor the 11:00 a.m. rally, wearingtee-shirts and buttons reading “Pro-posing a workable solution to Con-gress, in Defense of General Mo-tors” and “Congress Save OurCommunities, Save Our Economyand Our Jobs.” There they werejoined by 85-100 singing LYMmembers as well as other trade-un-ion and elected officials.

With the dome of the U.S. Capi-tol in the background, UAW Local969 president Mark Sweazy ad-dresssed the crowd, demanding thatCongress now take the action theyshould have taken last spring, whenLaRouche first proposed his“Emergency Program” to save theauto industry. LaRouche PACspokeswoman Debra Hanania Free-man, repeating a theme from the

LaRouche webcast, told the union-ists and others that nothing can bedone effectively to save the autoindustry and the economy unlessthe “gang of thieves” led by VicePresident Dick Cheney is removedfrom power. We are not here to begfor crumbs from the Congress, shetold the cheering crowd. “This isOUR house and OUR government,and we are here to tell them whatthey must do” to serve the GeneralWelfare.

Michigan State Rep. Lamar Lem-mons of Detroit said that his city,which was the birthplace of ournation’s auto industry, is now dev-astated, inhabited by very poor peo-ple with no hope. Do you want yourcity to end up like Detroit? heasked. We have to change the poli-cy in D.C. and the only person tospeak out for emergency measuresto save auto has been LaRouche,

Lemmons stated. Cleveland CityCouncilman Kevin Conwell echoedLemmons, saying his city now hasthe highest level of poverty in thecountry; to reverse this, we mustmobilize to support LaRouche’semergency measures.

The organizers were also ad-dressed by other UAW officials,including John Clark from Adrian,Mich., Russ Reynolds, president ofa Flint UAW local, and UAW vice-chairman Art Reyes.

Following the speeches, the LYMwere introduced and sang the “Bat-tle Cry of Freedom”; the group thenmarched to the Capitol.

Lobbying CongressThe labor activists had originial-

ly intended to go up to Capitol Hillon their own, but after the rally, theyrequested that the LYM go withthem; each group of 20-25 union-ists thus had a contingent of sever-al LYM, with unionists carryingpetitions that they had circulated onsaving auto.

Most of the unionists who hadcome on the buses had no prior ex-perience with the LYM, but quick-ly learned about the effectivenessof the “LaRouche method” in deal-ing with Congress. Discussions inthe Congressional offices oftenstarted out on a specific issue, suchas pensions, but soon, they wererefocussed on the broader questionsof policy. After a while, the union-ists realized that they were goingto have to provide the leadership toCongress, who didn’t understandanything about an industrial, pro-duction-based economy: the laborreps were soon asking the LYM,“What do we do next? We’re fol-lowing you!”

In all, there were a total of 40Congressional meetings, nearlyhalf of which were set up on thespot, including with many Repub-licans, who are often anti-labor.

Reorganising the Auto Industry: LaRouche Open Letter to Bill FordWhat follows is the text of Lyndon

LaRouche’s public letter to Ford MotorCompany chairman and CEO Bill Ford.

RE: Reorganizing the AutoIndustry

Dear Chairman Ford:As your statement implies, the

U.S. automobile industry is essen-tially the major component of themachine-tool design capability ofour republic as a whole, comple-mented chiefly by a kindred role ofthe machine-tool-design compo-nent of the aerospace sector. If wedismember that specific capability,we become a Third World-like rel-ic of our former selves. Economicdevastation will sweep every partof the nation’s communities, whichwould be directly and indirectlyaffected by such a ruinous devel-opment.

This industry is not made by au-

tomobiles; it, among other things,makes automobiles. It can producealmost anything which we mightrely upon the existing auto indus-try to produce, such as a new mass-transportation grid, including mag-netic-levitation grids, crucial ele-ments of urgently needed new pow-er-generation installations, essen-tial components required for re-building the nation’s ruined anddepleted water-management sys-tems. Essentially one-half of a com-petent design of a modern econo-my depends upon basic economicinfrastructure. That is the rationwhich distinguishes us from thehighly vulnerable industrial sectorsof the economies of the Asian coun-tries such as China and India today,where national income, at currentexport prices, is insufficient to meetthe needs of the lower 80% of fam-ily-income brackets of those na-tions today.

The required stimulus for a U.S.

economy under the recovery meas-ures which a reorganization of theFederal Reserve requires, will be aconcentration on basic economicinfrastructure by government, cou-pled with the revival of the privatesector through contracts and creditto private vendors in participatingsupport of those programs at theFederal and state levels. The nation-al-security urgency of rationalizinga national air-rail system of func-tional reunification of our territo-ry, is merely an apt illustration ofthe way in which the capacity ofthe automobile industry must bediversified, a full utilization of itsmachine-tool-vectored capacity asa whole, within a new division oflabor in respect to the industry’s netproduct.

This will require an act of Con-gress, probably emanating from therelevant committee of the U.S. Sen-ate, to create the authority provid-ing the needed cover for the reor-

ganization of the exist-ing automotive indus-try to that effect.

Under such an act,the existing industries,and their associatedkey machine-tool as-sociates, would enjoyfederally supportedmeans for orderly re-orientation withoutloss of any essentialproductive elements.A special facility, es-tablished under Federal law, wouldbe needed to provide a protectivecover for this, while creating theprograms of expanded categoriesof activities, beyond the existing in-dustries’ present marketing mis-sions, in mass transport and otherfields.

This Federal provision must in-clude the orientation of establish-ing the U.S.A. as once again thetechnological leader which we en-

courage and assist other nations tomatch and emulate. Science and itsindispensable partner, machine-tool design, must become onceagain the exemplary standard ofU.S. industrial performance. Thatmust be the mission of the Federalprovision for this reform.

Sincerely yours,

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jrcc: U.S. Senate
