- On October 6, 1986, a virtual army of more than four
hundred armed personnel descended upon the town of Leesburg, Virginia,
for a raid on the offices of {EIR} and its associates, and also deployed
for another, darker mission.
-
- The premises at which I was residing at that time were
surrounded by an armed force, while aircraft, armored vehicles, and other
personnel waited for the order to move in shooting.
-
- Fortunately, the killing did not happen, because someone
with higher authority than the Justice Department Criminal Division head
William Weld, ordered the attack on me called off. The forces readied to
move in on me, my wife, and a number of my associates, were pulled back
in the morning.
-
- That was the second fully documented case of a U.S. Justice
Department involvement in operations aimed at my personal elimination from
politics. The first was documented in an FBI internal document dated late
1973.
-
- The first was an internal U.S. operation; the second,
of Oct. 6-7, 1986, was international, including the involvement of the
Soviet government of General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.
-
- To understand the higher level of command behind the
way in which the Democratic National Committee bureaucrats have used the
Party's nullification of the Voting Rights Act to attempt to exclude me
from this election, we must point to the crucial features of the 1973 and
1986 attempts at my personal elimination.
-
- This is not only my cause for complaint. The great majority
of Americans are as much the intended victim as I am. They have a right
to know what is being done to them in this connection.
-
- I explain.
-
- Those events of Oct. 6-7, 1986 began in Sweden, when
someone killed that nation's Prime Minister, Olof Palme, and immediately,
fraudulently, assigned blame for the killing action to me.
-
- That libel was promptly adopted by my long-standing,
usually lying enemies at the {Washington Post}, and copied by other well-known
news-media cesspools.
-
- This killing occurred in the context of a massive outpouring
of preparatory hate-propaganda against me, world-wide, from the government
of Armand Hammer-associate Gorbachev.
-
- The issue behind the Soviet participation in the attack,
was Soviet inside knowledge of my role in introducing what President Ronald
Reagan had named publicly the "Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)."
-
- Gorbachev, like his former sponsor, Soviet General Secretary
Yuri Andropov, hated me on account of my international, as well as U.S.
role in the development of the SDI proposal.
-
- It became clear in the course of that year, that the
killing of expendable target Palme was used, and therefore probably intended,
to set into motion an environment for what would later pass as a "justified,
retaliatory" killing of me; no other plausible motive for the killing
of Palme has been presented to the public, up to the present day.
-
- Tracing all the relevant developments, over both the
interval from that shooting, to the Leesburg events of Oct. 6-7, later
that same year, all of the relevant events in the pattern of action, i
ncluding the preparatory steps taken by Boston's William Weld, represent
a systemically functional connection between the killing of Palme and the
referenced events of Oct. 6-7.
-
- When those two Justice Department "elimination"
operations against me are considered, the obvious question is:
-
- "Are the two actions, those of 1973 and 1986, related?"
-
- They are, in fact, closely related, and are key to understanding
why the financial powers behind Democratic National Committee Chairman
Terry McAuliffe's actions against me, have been so hysterically determined
to exclude the one Democratic Presidential candidate who now represents,
presently, officially, the broadest popular base of financial support of
all current Democratic contenders.
-
- Why do the forces behind these actions fear me so much
that they would take such extraordinarily high political risks in running
these kinds of efforts to bring about my personal and political elimination?
-
- In the second case, Oct. 6-7, 1986, the obvious motive
for the projected official killing of me, my wife, and others on that occasion,
was my role in the development of the SDI.
-
- Ironically, but not accidentally, this operation was
unleashed at the time President Reagan was meeting Gorbachev in Reykjavik,
Iceland, where the President, once again, firmly restated his commitment
to SDI.
-
- However, there is a direct connection to the earlier
1973 FBI operation. The 1973 campaign for my "elimination," the
near-slaughter of Oct. 6-7, 1986, and the stubborn effort to exclude me
from the debates now, are each and all products of the same issue of my
fight against the effort of certain liberal economists, and others, to
put the world as a whole under the thumb of the policies of former Nazi
Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht.
-
- The ultimate origin of these and related actions is not
the U.S. Department of Justice, but a much higher authority than the U.S.
government, the same assortment of Venetian-style international financier-oligarchical
interests, and their associated law firms, which unleashed the wave of
fascist dictatorships in continental Europe over the interval 1922-1945.
-
- The common feature of those international financier interests,
then, back during 1922-1945, and today, is their present commitment to
imposing Schachtian economics upon both the U.S.A. itself, and also on
the world at large, as the presently ongoing looting of Argentina typifies
such fascist practices in action.
-
- The intention of those financiers behind the demand for
my exclusion from the Democratic Party proceedings, is to attempt to ensure
that the next President of the U.S.A. is nothing but a pro-fascist banker's
office boy in matters of national economic and social policy.
-
- A notable number of these pro-Schachtian financier interests
are the proverbial "big bucks" behind the Democratic Party.
-
- Behind all of the operations against me, from 1973 through
the present day, is a reflection of the common characteristic of three
tightly linked issues.
-
- The first, my pro-FDR opposition to Schachtian economics.
-
- The second, my opposition to the so-called "utopian"
military doctrines currently associated with "beast-man" Dick
Cheney.
-
- Third, my intention to reverse the folly of the past
forty years' downward drift of the U.S.A., from the world's leading producer
nation, to today's predatory mess of Roman Empire-style "post-industrial"
bread and circuses.
-
- Go back to the late Summer and Fall of 1971.
-
- When the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system was ordered
by President Richard Nixon, on August 15-16, 1971, I responded, denouncing
the incompetence of those leading economists who had insisted that such
an event could never happen under the so-called "built-in stabilizers."
-
- Since the mid-1960s, I had warned repeatedly, publicly,
against such a highly probable trend, of a series of international monetary
crises leading toward the consequent breakdown of the present world monetary
system.
-
- It had happened.
-
- Once again, I had been proven right as a long-range economic
forecaster; virtually every university economics textbook, virtually every
professor or similar type had been proven totally wrong on this issue.
-
- Therefore, my associates and I launched a campaign against
"Quackademic" economics professors. The turmoil this campaign
produced on the campuses, and elsewhere, impelled the pained economists
and their owners to select a champion of their cause, to defeat me in open
debate. What soon proved to be the luckless Professor Abba Lerner, reputedly
the leading resident Keynesian economist in the U.S.A., was selected for
the contest.
-
- We faced off on the premises of New York's Queens College
campus. Professors and comparable notables chiefly gathered in the front
rows, and students and others chiefly behind them. My challenge to Lerner
was that his current proposals for Brazil were an echo of the doctrines
of Nazi Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht. I warned that his policy toward
Brazil was typical of the kinds of fascist-like austerity policies which
would be pushed under the new conditions created by Nixon's action. For
the alloted time, and more, Lerner squirmed and wriggled, seeking to change
the subject from the concrete issue I had posed as the test question of
the time: Brazil policy.
-
- Then, the debate closed when Lerner whimpered, "But
if Germany had accepted Schacht's policies, Hitler would not have been
necessary." The assembled body reacted to this whimpered utterance
as if stunned.
-
- Lerner was, figuratively, carried, {hors de combat},
from that day's field of battle.
-
- Since that occasion, no leading economist in any part
of the world has found the courage to challenge me in a debate on these
crucial issues of Schachtian economic policy being pushed by the U.S. since
that time. As Lerner's friend Professor Sidney Hook stated the point: "LaRouche
won the debate, but"--he will lose much more as a result of that.
It was his way of saying that the "establishment" would unite
against me; it did.
-
- There was no coincidence in any of this. The shift of
the U.S. and British economies away from the U.S.'s leading role as the
world's greatest producer nation, toward a pro-Schachtian, "post-industrial"
utopianism, was the hallmark of the 1966-1968 Nixon campaign for the Presidency.
-
- The follies of this "post-industrial" shift
into wild-eyed monetarism, led the U.S. government to the point, that it
must abandon its foolish post-Kennedy economic and cultural policies, or
make exactly the choice I had warned that I feared they would make.
-
- Nixon's decision of August 15, 1971 made the march in
the direction of ruin and fascist-like dictatorship inevitable.
-
- Nixon's mid-August decision thus made the issue of the
1971 LaRouche-Lerner debate the inevitable continuing, leading issue of
U.S. economic policy, from that date to the present neo-Schachtian days
of Lazard Freres-associated Felix Rohatyn.
-
- Nixon's decision put the leading institutions and voters
of the U.S. into a virtual ideological-economic fishbowl. That is to say:
The poor fish might think he can rule the universe by choosing that part
of the interior of the fishbowl to which he might wish to swim, but the
bowl itself was being moved without his consciousness of the direction
into which the bowl was being carried.
-
- Such are the sometimes tragic, utopian delusions of Cartesian
and other true believers in what they define as "self-evident"
definitions, axioms, and postulates.
-
- The universe in which they believe, is only a fishbowl
filled with those fools who believe that their own free choice, according
to such beliefs, controls their destiny.
-
- Most ordinary people today have little appreciation of
the fierceness with which pro-Schachtian liberal financiers hate the memory
of President Franklin Roosevelt.
-
- Most corporate and kindred Baby Boomers, such as my rivals
for the Presidency, do not even know what a Schachtian tactic is.
-
- Nonetheless, the defeat, chiefly by Roosevelt's U.S.A.,
of those pro-Synarchist, pro-Schachtian financiers' effort to create a
fascist internationalism during the post-Versailles decades, has prompted
the financiers of today to seek every possible means to uproot and destroy
the kind of agro-industrial constitutional republic which Roosevelt's victory
over Hitler et al. represented.
-
- So, in August 1944, as soon as the U.S.-led breakthrough
in Normandy had sealed the early doom of Hitler, those financier circles
which had temporarily supported Roosevelt's war-effort, launched the right
turn represented by Bertrand Russell's leading role in putting forward
a utopian strategic doctrine of imperial world government through preventive
nuclear war.
-
- During his two terms in office, military traditionalist
President Dwight Eisenhower defended our constitutional order from the
rampaging utopians he labelled a "military-industrial complex."
-
- President John F. Kennedy's assassination broke the back
of the resistance to those utopians; the U.S. official plunge into the
quicksands of asymmetric warfare in Indo-China, and the parallel, mid-1960s
"post-industrial" shift, were the concomitant of that victory
of the utopians.
-
- The murders of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy,
were crucial elements of the march toward ruin of our economic culture,
and worse, beyond.
-
- The mid-1960s' cultural-paradigm down-shift, merely typified
by the dionysiac rock-drug-sex counterculture, was the destruction of the
mind and gut of what had been the world's greatest economy, the U.S. economy.
The purpose of that induced cultural-paradigm shift was to uproot everything
about the U.S. which was reflected in FDR's achievements as President.
-
- My proposal for what President Reagan was later to name
his "Strategic Defense Initiative" was prompted by a recognition
of the growing actual risk of general thermonuclear war, in the doctrines
of James R. Schlesinger's cabal, around the theme of the "present
danger."
-
- I reacted out of my conviction that the nuclear madness
of Trilateral Brzezinski's cronies, Schlesinger et al., showed that the
U.S. must find ways to engage the Soviet Union in a long-term alternative
to the thermonuclear war implicit in a continuation of the Russell-like,
so-called "detente" policies of the 1970s.
-
- Thus, when the Reagan National Security Council entertained
my back-channel discussions with the Soviet government, to explore what
I proposed as the relevant alternative, I became a grave danger to the
policies of the utopians inside and outside our defense establishment.
-
- At the close of the President's televised address of
March 23, 1983, they decided I was too capable a political force of opposition
to their schemes to be allowed to live.
-
- It is the same issue I represent against Cheney and his
pack of neo-conservative lunatics today.
-
- That was the principal motive behind the indicated events
of 1986.
-
- In this way, the issue of my opposition to Schachtian
economics, to utopian military madness, and to the past four decades' cultural-paradigm
down-shift of the economy, mind, and morals of our nation, are three aspects
of the same issue.
-
- For that, they wished me "eliminated" in 1973,
sought to eliminate me by shameless open actions in 1986, and wish to eliminate
all traces of my international influence today.
-
- The abortion of the shooting assault intended for Oct.
6-7, 1986, led to a subsequent, high-level, intense debate in relevant
circles.
-
- "Shall we kill him, or imprison him?" was the
tenor of that debate.
-
- The threat from the utopian faction was, "If you
allow him to beat the legal frame-up we are conducting, you will not stop
us from killing him this time!"
-
- That decision was in debate from no later than the evening
of President Reagan's televised address of March 23, 1983.
-
- After a few days, the utopians had regrouped their forces
around circles including the right-wing utopian, and fervent SDI (and LaRouche
and Edward Teller) opponent Daniel P. Graham and the utopians of the Heritage
Foundation.
-
- So, the name of SDI was continued, but, under the influence
of circles backing Graham, the content was changed radically to emphasize
obsolete, chiefly "off-the-shelf" technologies of no use for
the indicated type of mission-assignment.
-
- On Oct. 12, 1988, I delivered a memorable address in
Berlin, which was taped there for later broadcast, that same month, on
a nationwide TV campaign feature.
-
- I forecast the imminent collapse of the Soviet alliance,
beginning probably soon in Poland, and spreading into other parts of Eastern
Europe and the Soviet economy itself.
-
- I proposed a course of U.S. action to deal, through affirmative
economic action, with the opportunity to uproot the embedded institutions
of major military conflict throughout the world.
-
- I was soon hustled off to the hoosegow by the fastest,
if perhaps the most crooked railroad in the U.S.A., the Alexandria Federal
Courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia. So, in effect, the newly
sworn President George Bush put me into prison, and, a little more than
five years later, Bill Clinton pulled me out.
-
- Now, the world makes a new turn around the circle of
crisis. This time, those bankers who wish to put a Democrat who would be
a virtual office boy for their Schachtian policies into the White House,
are at it again.
-
- They are terrified at the thought that I, no office boy
in these matters, would come even close to the White House.
-
- Some leaders of nations are elected, others are either
killed, or sent to prison to be defamed.
-
- So, powerful financier cabals have often ordered the
fate of nations and the people, if the people let that happen.
-
- Thus, in today's world, the ultimate feat of importance
for a republic, is to get competent leaders elected, and keep them from
being killed at a sign from the hand of a pro-Synarchist financier mafioso.
