-
- In the weeks leading up to the invasion of Iraq, the
world's governments and millions in the streets spoke out against the impending
disaster. Demonstrators protested within the United States as well. But
except for the LaRouche wing and scattered individual politicians, the
Democratic Party--the putative opposition--was frozen, intimidated. Its
new controllers had locked the former party of Franklin Roosevelt and John
Kennedy into complicity.
-
- Shamefully, key Democratic leaders had stood publicly
at the White House on Oct. 2, 2002, announcing they would give a "bipartisan"
blank check, authorizing an insane war on Iraq. Flanking President Bush
were Senators Joseph Lieberman (Conn) and Evan Bayh (Ind), and Rep. Dick
Gephardt (Mo) (Bayh was then chairman of the "Democratic Leadership
Council" and Lieberman and Gephardt were past chairmen), Republican
Senator John McCain (Ariz), and the two Republican official leaders of
the Senate and House. (The Democratic leader in the Senate, Tom Daschle,
did not initially support the agreement.)
-
- As the nightmare approached, U.S. Senator Robert Byrd
(D-WVa) addressed a nearly deserted Senate chamber on Feb. 12, warning
that "every American on some level must be contemplating the horrors
of war. Yet, this Chamber is, for the most part, silent--ominously, dreadfully
silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the
nation the pros and cons of this particular war. There is nothing. We stand
passively mute in the United States Senate, paralyzed...."
-
- Once the war began, the Democrats, like whipped dogs,
joined in approving a resolution lauding Bush's leadership, unanimously
in the Senate, with tiny resistance in the House.
-
- How has this happened--since typical Democratic voters
overwhelmingly oppose the imperial madness of the Bush Administration,
preferring the humaneness Americans associate with Franklin Delano Roosevelt
and John F. Kennedy? The answer is similar to that of the religious question:
How have Christians and Jews come to be represented, as far as the public
sees, by right-wingers and armageddonists?
-
- The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the same fascist
faction driving the Bush Administration mad. The identical Straussian neo-conservative
clique embodied in the Pentagon and Cheney's office, now dominates the
Democratic Party top-down. They operate largely through the tiny Democratic
Leadership Council (DLC) of Joe Lieberman and Al Gore, and they control
the party apparatus through gangsters and gangsterism.
-
- Although some call it the rightist or corporate "wing,"
the DLC has never been an actual faction of the Democrats. It deliberately
has no rank-and-file members. Since 1985 it has increasingly intruded into
and disrupted the party, passing along money from outright gangsters, Wall
Street criminals, and Republicans to party officials, officeholders and
candidates, aiming to silence and break the Democrats.
-
- High-ranking Democratic Party officials have told associates
of Lyndon LaRouche that the DLC was launched in order to stop the takeover
of the party by LaRouche, as well as others who were working to bring the
party back to its Franklin Roosevelt orientation.
-
- - Bury FDR, Bring in the Bull Moose -
-
- Roosevelt himself, speaking to labor, the poor, Depression-wrecked
farmers, the forgotten man, in his 1933 Inaugural Address, blasted "the
rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods.... Practices of the unscrupulous
money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion.... Stripped
of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false
leadership.... [T]he money changers have fled from their high seats in
the temple of our civilization.... Our greatest task is to put people to
work.... [T]here must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits
and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people's
money...."
-
- The DLC, sponsored by the criminal element Roosevelt
denounced, has boldly announced their intention to bury Roosevelt's Democratic
Party. In the September 1998 issue of their magazine, {Blueprint}, DLC
strategists William Galston and Elaine Kamarck propounded certain supposed
"Realities That Will Shape 21st Century Politics," whose main
premise is that "the New Deal era has ended."
-
- They declare that America has a "declining working
class"--and that is good for politics. They celebrate the collapse
of labor unions in the hyper-speculative New Economy, and applaud "the
decline of organized labor as a force within the Democratic Party."
The "Hollowing Out of the Middle Class" is "mostly for the
better"; the "widening gap between the wealthy and the poor"
is a good development!
-
- Shamelessly, they claim: "The ... middle class is
shrinking ... not because poverty is on the march, but because millions
of Americans are surging into the ranks of the upper middle class and wealthy."
-
- They cheer that the New Deal-generation voters are dying
off, leaving instead a supposedly "better-educated," "wired"
generation of Baby Boomers and their children, who have never known successful
government.
-
- The DLC says the widening gap between the rich and poor
must {not} be seen "as grounds for returning to a New Deal-style politics,"
nor be allowed to induce the party "to mobilize lower-income groups
for a new round of interventionist, centralized government that protects
Americans against all forms of economic insecurity." The Democrats
must not be allowed to think they "can construct majorities based
on a swelling pool of poor and near-poor Americans waiting to be mobilized
by an old-fashioned politics..."--since the average American is doing
so much better in recent years!
-
- Note here the background of the two authors of this piece.
William Galston, senior adviser to the DLC, is aleading American follower
of fascist Leo Strauss, and a specialist in Strauss's attack on Plato's
doctrine of truth. Elaine Kamarck is a long-time enforcer of Wall Street
rule in the Democratic Party and the wife of an investment banker; she
will be encountered again in this report.
-
- But what is to replace Franklin Roosevelt's party, so
as to represent the "newly wealthy"? The DLC projects a third-party
scheme to wreck the Democrats, while blackmailing George W. Bush to move
to the right, if notto elect the unsellable Chickenhawk Joe Lieberman.
-
- This scenario is a repetition of the 1912 election. Then,
Theodore Roosevelt ("TR"), who had earlier been President, ran
again on a "Bull Moose Party" ticket, to sink the Republican
candidate, President Taft, and elect TR's fellow Anglo-Saxon imperial racist,
Democrat Woodrow Wilson. The DLC proposes Lieberman's closest ally, Republican
Senator John McCain, as the new Teddy Roosevelt to go up against President
Bush in 2004 on a third-party ticket. The object: maximum mayhem against
the Democrats.
-
- It is noteworthy, here, that on his way to the Presidency,
Franklin D. Roosevelt explicitly repudiated the thuggish imperialism of
his cousin Theodore.
-
- The DLC announced the Bull Moose scheme in the May2002
{Blueprint}, where Marshall Wittman wrote that "John McCain [seeks]
to recapture the legacy of President Theodore Roosevelt, by advocating
government as an agent of `national greatness'..." Wittman demanded
that Bush give up any remaining tendency to protect American jobs, as with
steel tariffs, which Bush had imposed earlier that year.
-
- In the same issue, Tod Lindberg praised McCain's "rogue
state rollback" policy, commending John Ashcroft's "Freedom Corps"
(which includes the blockwatch and mass FBI informants programs) as originally
having been a McCain and DLC proposal.
-
- Note again the background of the authors, in this supposedly
"Democratic" magazine.
-
- Marshall Wittman is an adviser to John McCain, and works
for the right-wing Hudson Institute, as does the recently disgraced Richard
Perle. Beyond this, the McCain Bull Moose scheme was explained candidly
by author Franklin Foer in the {New Republic} (March 20, 2000):
-
- "Jewish neo-conservatives have fallen hard for John
McCain. It's not just unabashed swooner William Kristol, editor of {The
Weekly Standard} ... [but] ... such leading neo-con lights as David Brooks,
the entire Podhoretz family [etc.].... [In this the neo-cons are following]
their forefather Leo Strauss, the political theorist.... Kristol and Brooks
[are] both Strauss disciples....
-
- "It's easy to think that Kristol and Brooks are
projecting their Straussianism onto McCain.... Kristol has worked with
McCain adviser Marshall Wittmann, another Jewish neo-con, to cultivate
the Arizona maverick. A year ago, Wittmann gave McCain {Standard} articles
on `National Greatness Conservatism'--the Kristol-Brooks theory that Republicans
should return to the domestic activism and foreign interventionism of Theodore
Roosevelt. And Wittmann has regularly worked the {Standard's} rhetoric
into McCain's speeches...."
-
- The other {Blueprint} author, Tod Lindberg, is editor
of {Policy Review}, issued by the Hoover Institution. The current issue
(April-May 2003) of Lindberg's own magazine carries an article entitled
"Leo Strauss and the Conservatives," showing the reader why he
must "appreciate Strauss's greatness." Lindberg put in his February-March,
2002 issue, an article entitled "Charmed by Tyranny," on why
the great Strauss should not be blamed for being sponsored by the Nazi
Carl Schmitt, since Schmitt's "pathological anti-Semitism was ...
the identity handed him by fate."
-
- - The Great Betrayal--Moynihan and Nixon -
-
- Where did such a "Democratic Party" originate?
-
- Facing the true history of this abomination will require
cutting through such hypocrisy and deliberate memory-suppression as was
seen recently in the eulogies for the racist Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who
died March 26, 2003.
-
- Recall that FDR won the Presidency by creating a new
majority coalition of labor, farmers, intellectuals, white and black, taking
the Democratic Party out of the hands of the London-New York financiers
and Southern racists who had dominated it since the days of Andrew Jackson
and slavery.
-
- Recall that John F. Kennedy strove to revive FDR's nationalism
and anti-colonialism, resisting the Vietnam war scenario. The Kennedy assassination
allowed financiers such as Morgan, Rockefeller, Harriman, Rothschild, Paul
Volcker (Federal Reserve), Felix Rohatyn (Lazard Freres), and McGeorge
Bundy (Ford Foundation) to overturn America's whole missoin for industrial
progress, and move toward erasing the American Revolution itself.
-
- Recall, finally, that Richard Nixon's election campaign
(1967-68) and Presidential term (1969-74) brought in explicit political
racism, free trade to destroy workers' jobs, and austerity to crush the
poor. The Straussian gangsters, now on center-stage in the current war
crisis, originally entered the picture in connection with this Nixon "Southern
Strategy." Their main agent, the Benedict Arnold who began burning
down the Democratic Party, was Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
-
- Back in late 1960s, Moynihan was a bitter man. He had
been a minor Labor Department official in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations,
but neither the Kennedys nor Johnson liked him or valued his services.
Moynihan had issued a notorious 1965 report on the Black Family, claiming
that the ingrained culture of slavery--not the destruction of the industrial
economy--caused blacks' unemployment and poverty. He left the government
in a storm of criticism from the civil rights movement.
-
- Democrats shunned him. They mocked his British airs,
his affectation since attending the London School of Economics.
-
- The only "Democrat" to whom Moynihan was ever
close, was banker Averell Harriman, his former boss. This was the same
Harriman who had financed the eugenical racial propaganda of the early
fascists; the same Harriman who, with his banking partner Prescott Bush
(grandfather of the current President), had financed the German Nazis'
rise to power. When Harriman ran for New York Governor in 1954, he hired
Moynihan as speechwriter, and then brought him into the Governor's office
as a publicist. Harriman entrusted Moynihan with writing the authorized
history of the Harriman gubernatorial term. Harriman would persist as shadow
sponsor of the anti-FDR side of Democratic Party politics.
-
- After Moynihan's debacle in the Labor Department, he
began writing right-wing articles for {Reporter} magazine, and became a
devoted follower of its editor, theStraussian Irving Kristol. Moynihan
later (in "Pacem in Terris IV," Dec. 2, 1975) called Leo Strauss
"the foremost political philosopher of his time in America."
It is Irving's son William of the {Weekly Standard} who, as we have seen,
has concocted the McCain-Lieberman Bull Moose scheme.
-
- Thus it was that in 1966, Moynihan was hired as director
of the Ford Foundation's Joint Center for Urban Studies, at Harvard and
MIT. The Foundation's boss, McGeorge Bundy, had just reversed Kennedy's
decision to get out of Vietnam, immediately after Kennedy was murdered.
At the Ford Foundation, Bundy was running raciallly divisive schemes to
pave the way for severe austerity and banker looting against New York and
other cities. At Harvard, under Bundy, Moynihan could now be audaciouly
racist.
-
- Thus employed, Moynihan made history on Sept. 23, 1967
with an explosive, Hitlerian speech to the National Board of Americans
for Democratic Action.
-
- He ranted, "American liberals ... have ... presided
over the onset both of the war in Vietnam and the violence in American
cities.... The Vietnam war was thought up andis being managed by the men
John F. Kennedy brought to Washington to conduct American foreign and defense
policy...." (Ironically, this must mean McGeorge Bundy.)
-
- He warned, "Liberals must see more clearly that
their essential interest is in the stability of the social order; and given
the present threat to that stability, they must seek out and make much
more effective alliances with political conservatives...."
-
- He cursed FDR: "Liberals must divest themselves
of the notion that the nation--and especially the cities of the nation--can
be run from agencies in Washington. Potomac fever became a liberal disease
under the New Deal...." He ushered in a new, Imperial America: "But
the biggest problem of running the nation from Washington is that the real
business of Washington in our age is pretty much to run the world. That
thought may not give any of us great pleasure, but my impression is that
it is a fact and we had better learn to live with it...."
-
- With his sissy diction, he spoke for a new White Politics:
"Liberals must somehow overcome the curious condescension that takes
the form of defending and explaining away anything, however outrageous,
which negroes, individually or collectively, might do...."
-
- At that time, Richard Nixon had a law partner named Leonard
Garment, a New York lawyer plugged in to right-wing Jewish leaders and
gangsters such as Max Fisher. Garment was helping steer Nixon, the former
Vice President who had lost the 1960 Presidential race to Kennedy, back
to the top by introducing him to New York politicians and moneymen.
-
- Leonard Garment seized on Moynihan's startlingly evil
speech, and told Nixon how to use it in his "Southern Strategy"
campaign. Nixon quoted the speech and praised Moynihan in his address to
the National Association of Manufacturers (Dec. 8, 1967). Moynihan offered
his services. He was brought in as Urban Affairs counselor in the Nixon
Administration.
-
- Moynihan's notoriety stems largely from his memo to Nixon,
urging "benign neglect" as the best racial policy. But he did
his real damage as the architect of so-called Welfare Reform, or slave
labor--which was later a central issue of the Gore-Lieberman DLC. This
was the tactic of forcing welfare recipients, under threat of starvation,
to go to work for their sub-minimum welfare checks, while the number of
standard-pay industrial jobs was decreasing, thus sabotaging the general
wage level.
-
- Congressional Democrats defeated the welfare slave-labor
bill Moynihan crafted. But another law, authorizing creation of Health
Maintenance Organizations, was pushed through under Nixon by Moynihan and
his allies. The HMO Act imposed Nazi medical standards, closed hospitals,
and greatly increased suffering and death among the lower social orders.
Again, this "privatization" is a hallmark of the DLC neoconservatives
who have since then strangled the Democratic Party.
-
- - Timeline: The Battle for the Democratic Party -
-
- In 1974-75, Moynihan was Ambassador to the United Nations,
with his Republican host Leonard Garment at the UN as an aide. Garment's
gangster friend Max Fisher got Garment this UN post, and Garment told Moynihan
to accept the ambassadorship. Garment and Norman Podhoretz taught Moynihan
the doctrine of rightwing Zionism, using as a guide the British Arab Bureau's
Bernard Lewis, who claimed that the Arab view of the matter was merely
a product of Soviet propaganda.
-
- Garment and his neo-con friends now convinced Moynihan
to run for the U.S. Senate. The clique that formed around Moynihan's 1976
campaign and subsequent Senate career, later emerged in the core of the
fascist war faction that sabotaged the Democratic Party.
-
- ** Leonard Garment and his law partner Lewis "Scooter"
Libby became chief attorneys for Russian gangster godfather Marc Rich.
They and Michael Steinhardt, the DLC's main financier and Rich's investment
partner, conned outgoing President Bill Clinton into pardoning Marc Rich,
by then a fugitive from U.S. justice. Recently Clinton said he regretted
the pardon, citing Libby's role as chief of staff for Dick Cheney.
-
- ** The first employee of the 1976 Moynihan election campaign
was Lynn Forester, who was to be the central courtesan-operative in the
DLC's Bull Moose scheme (see below).
-
- ** As Senator, Moynihan brought onto his staff:
-
- *Elliott Abrams--Norman Podhoretz's son-in-law, later
an Iran-Contra criminal, currently chief of Middle East affairs for the
Cheney/Rumsfeld-dominated National Security Council. In 1980, Abrams proposed
that Ronald Reagan take Moynihan as his Vice Presidential running mate.
-
- *Abram Shulsky--Straussian, later head of Rumsfeld/Feith/Wolfowitz
intelligence unit that "cooked" the Iraq intelligence.
-
- *Gary Schmitt--later executive director of the Project
for the New American Century (PNAC), which issued the September 2000 document
outlining the world-conquest and regional Mideast strategy of the current
war cabal.
-
- By 1980, the Jimmy Carter-appointed Federal Reserve chairman
Paul Volcker was demolishing the industrialeconomy. At the August 1980
Democratic national convention, the Democratic Party forces associated
with Lyndon LaRouche and with Sen. Ted Kennedy (Mass) pressed for an open
convention, for deliberation on an economic recovery program, and on the
choice of a new candidate instead of a second term for Carter. But thug
operations run by Harriman political fixer Robert S. Strauss, and led on
the floor by banker operative Elaine Kamarck, prohibited discussion and
gooned the opposition.
-
- As all had expected, the renominated Carter was defeated
by Reagan. After the election, Sen. Moynihan told a press conference that
he would lead a fight to prevent the takeover of the Democratic Party by
the "extremist" backers of Ted Kennedy! Moynihan declared that
Kennedy is a "cadre" who believes government should be strong
while America should be weak.
-
- The LaRouche wing of the party now rapidly advanced in
popular support. LaRouche and Democratic House Majority leader Jim Wright
of Texas, both demanded the firing of Fed chairman Volcker. LaRouche associate
Steve Douglas got 20% of the statewide vote, and 35% of the Philadelphia
vote, in the Democratic primary for Governor of Pennsylvania on May 18,
1982.
-
- At a mid-term Democratic convention soon thereafter,
"Democrats for the '80s," the personal committee of Averell Harriman
and his wife Pamela, was given complete control of the meeting by Bob Strauss,
banker Felix Rohatyn, and labor faker Lane Kirkland. Harriman's group,
nicknamed PAMPAC, got the franchise to directly issue a "fact book"
for all Democratic candidates; they stressed slashing the Federal budget,
squeezing Social Security payments to seniors, saving health-care costs
by forcing HMOs on the population, and demolishing U.S. industry to make
way for an "information economy."
-
- Meanwhile, in July 1982, Sen. Moynihan began his assault
on LaRouche. Moynihan lied that Mel Klenetsky, a Jewish associate of LaRouche
who was challenging Moynihan in the primary election for Senate in New
York, was "anti-Semitic." Klenetsky's campaign focussed on Moynihan's
support for eugenical "race science" theories.
-
- In May and June 1983, anti-LaRouche strategy meetings
were held in the home of New York investment banker John Train. Among those
attending were members of the neo-conservative clique within Reagan's National
Security Council and Justice Department, rightist billionaire Richard Mellon
Scaife (later funder of the "Get Clinton" campaign), Peter Spiro
of the {New Republic}, the Anti-Defamation League (which was then crafting
the right-wing religious alliance behind Ariel Sharon), assorted neo-conservative
media men, and a representative of rightist spook Leo Cherne.
-
- This Cherne was Moynihan's close associate and former
employer, and a government intelligence adviser. Cherne and Henry Kissinger
had jointly activated an FBI harassment onslaught versus LaRouche--on false
"national security" grounds, following LaRouche's meeting and
collaboration with the President of Mexico for an anti-imperial banking
program.
-
- In July 1983, Louisiana Congressman Gillis Long and Harriman
operative Bob Strauss began a U.S. tour to promote the "National Democratic
Caucus," demanding a rightist turn for the Democrats. Their main advisers
were Averell Harriman and Felix Rohatyn. Al From, who was soon to found
the Democratic Leadership Council, was an aide to Gillis Long, a personal
protégé of Robert Strauss, and an operative of Harriman's
PAMPAC.
-
- A {New Republic} article by Peter Spiro (Feb. 6, 1984),
urged a political attack on LaRouche, and an Internal Revenue Service prosecution.
Spiro warned that LaRouche Democrats were regularly getting 20-30% of the
vote, had thousands of candidates, and 100,000 dues-paying members in LaRouche's
National Democratic Policy Committee.
-
- An avalanche of anti-LaRouche slurs now poured through
the media, originating in the Train salon meetings. In this environment,
Al From formed the Democratic Leadership Council on March 1, 1985. The
initial group of officeholders receiving DLC funds were predominantly Southern
Democrats; they warned Democratic Party officials they must stop being
cozy with blacks if they were to hold the South. The creation and initial
funding of the DLC was aided by Heritage Foundation chief Ed Feulner, who
worked with DLC founder Al From while personally shaping the Reagan Administration's
policies on the model of Margaret Thatcher.
-
- LaRouche associates won the March 1986 IllinoisDemocratic
primaries for Secretary of State and Lt. Governor, with over 50% of the
vote.
-
- A Moynihan op-ed in the April 1, 1986 {New York Times}
stated that the "rise of primary elections has weakened the Democratic
Party," and demanded party rule changes to enforce discipline. Moynihan
ordered Democratic chairman Paul Kirk's participation in an "Operation
LaRouche," which Moynihan had set up in New York State, aimed at keeping
neo-conservative control of the party.
-
- Pollster J. Michael McKeon, consultant to Moynihan, told
{EIR} on June 24, 1986, "Sen. Moynihan is the only person in the Democratic
Party who is thinking seriously of how to respond to LaRouche. That's why
he brought me to Washington." McKeon, who had predicted the LaRouche
Illinois victory, said "LaRouche has about a 25% core vote through
the country."
-
-
- The Mob Says: Cement Shoes for the Democratic Party
-
- Lyndon LaRouche was falsely imprisoned in 1989, following
a several-year attack by neo-conservatives corrupting the media and the
justice system.
-
- The Democratic Leadership Council was now in full swing,
under the leadership of Michael Steinhardt, a second-generation New York
mobster. Steinhardt chaired the DLC board, and chaired the DLC's Progressive
Policy Institute think tank, personally contributing millions in mob-generated
funds. Steinhardt's father, in Sing Sing prison as a fence for Meyer Lansky's
syndicate, had sent his son cash which Michael turned into a billion through
speculation. Steinhardt got other funds for investment from fugitive gangster
Marc Rich, who was then looting Russia and Africa.
-
- The DLC, jointly with Averell Harriman's widow Pamela,
arranged and financed the Bill Clinton-Al Gore ticket in 1992, knowing
that Clinton could get votes that their friend Gore could not. This ticket
won election; but Clinton promptly told a gathering at {Washington Post}
owner Katharine Graham's house, that they would not like what he would
do as President. The DLC was "stiffed"--Clinton had ambitions
to side with the poor, as had FDR. Among other things, under Clinton, Lyndon
LaRouche was paroled from his false imprisonment as soon as this was possible.
-
- The mobsters raged. The DLC's own, sanitized, authorized
history of itself ({Reinventing Democrats}, by Kenneth S. Baer, 2000) relates
the public action of one of Steinhardt's operatives: "Joel Kotkin,
a PPI [Progressive Policy Institute] senior fellow, made the first public
call for a break with Clinton. In a {Wall Street Journal} column [Dec.
7, 1994], Kotkin argued that the New Democrats should sever ties with Clinton,
back a primary challenge in 1996, and even consider leaving the Democratic
Party altogether....
-
- "The largest ... sign [of the DLC's break with Clinton
and the Democrats] was its `Third Way Project' .... [T]here is some evidence
that this project was to be the beginning of a third-party movement. According
to Michael Steinhardt, chairman of PPI's Board of Trustees until he resigned
at the end of 1995, the Third Way Project was to be `a new approach to
separate ourselves from the Democratic Party.' He explained that the DLC
began to take on a more bipartisan focus, which appealed to a number of
contributors, including Steinhardt himself, who advocated the formation
of a third party and went so far as to meet with Bill Bradley to try to
persuade him to run for President in 1996."
-
- The DLC gang pressed Clinton to fall in line with the
Conservative Revolution. With Dick Morris and other moles, DLC adviser
Elaine Kamarck, Gore's aide, was lead enforcer pushing the President to
accept the "Welfare Reform" bill, Moynihan's original project,
which became a political disaster for Clinton. The DLCers tried to used
the situation to force Clinton to resign in the Lewinsky scandal. The LaRouche
Democrats successfully counterattacked.
-
- Steinhardt turned over the formal leadership of the DLC
in 1995 to his co-factioneer, Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman. But
Steinhardt continued to drive forward the DLC's "Third Way" scheming.
This Steinhardt project was co-financed by banker Felix Rohatyn, currently
a DLC board member, and a longtime controller of the {Washington Post}.
-
- There is also a trans-Atlantic link, with a fascinating
historical echo.
-
- British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a Margaret Thatcher
in "New Labour" pants, had a well-known collaboration with Bill
Clinton. Now Blair, without missing a beat, collaborates with the war-crazed
Bush Administration. Steinhardt's DLC and some powerful friends are behind
this smooth political gender switch.
-
- During the last period of the Clinton Administration,
a think tank called the Policy Network was created in England as an official
coordinating agency between the Democratic Leadership Council and Tony
Blair's advisers. Policy Network's chairman is Blair crony Peter Mandelson,
the former Blair Cabinet member (who became known as "Lord Mandy of
Rio" following an at-government-expense romp through the homosexual
haunts of Rio de Janeiro).
-
- This official channel from the DLC to Blair's "Third
Way" inner council was funded entirely by Sir Evelyn de Rothschild,
head of Britain's famous N.M. Rothschild bank.
-
- How did Sir Evelyn get into American gangster Mike Steinhardt's
DLC scheming, aimed at wrecking the Democratic Party from the inside?
-
- In the 1990s Steinhardt picked up the assistance of Lynn
Forester, who had climbed into the big time since her appearance as a Democrat
on Moynihan's notorious 1976 campaign staff. She first married New York
politician Andy Stein, of the Roy Cohn/Dick Morris sleaze set. She dumped
Stein when he lost a mayoral bid. Meanwhile she was building a fortune
on mergers and acquisitions, tutored by Virginia billionaire corruptionist
John Kluge. She dated the richest and most powerful men, coached by Henry
Kissinger. Along the way she befriended Bill and Hillary Clinton.
-
- In 1998 Forester flew on a private plane with Henry Kissinger
to a Bilderberger meeting in Scotland. There Kissinger introduced her to
Sir Evelyn with a lewd joke. Forester brought Rothschild to the U.S. and
connected him to Steinhardt's and Rohatyn's New Economy speculator friends.
-
- With Clinton on his way out, and an economic disaster
shaping up, the DLC crowd hurried to scuttle the Democratic Party before
an FDR reflex set in. Rothschild, 70, married Forester, 46, in November
2000. The couple were fêted at a party thrown by Sen. Moynihan. On
their wedding night they slept in the White House. By this time Rothschild
had contributed an acknowledged 250,000 Pounds to the Policy Network, the
Steinhardt-Forester Third Way link to Blair.
-
- Lady Lynn de Rothschild, meanwhile, is a top director
of the corporate empire of billionaire Ron Lauder, who has created the
Shalem Center, Israel's headquarters for Leo Strauss's philosophy and the
funding of Ariel Sharon's politics.
-
- - How Did This Elephant Get into the Parlor? -
-
- The Democratic Party has now been dragged all the way
back to the slavery days, when it was known as the Party of Treason. The
Rothschild family's official American representative, banker August Belmont,
whom the Rothschilds had trained as a British spy, was chairman of the
U.S. Democratic Party during and after the American Civil War. For several
decades, in conjunction with the British Empire, Belmont promoted every
aggression and secession scheme of the slaveowner radicals.
-
- Against the background presented by this report, the
observer should now be able to discern clearly how the Democrats' enemies
took over the party. And what such a disgraced character as Terry McAuliffe
represents, as chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), when
he works to block criticism of the Chickenhawks' war.
-
- McAuliffe was DNC Finance Chairman in Clinton's first
term. He brought in huge contributions from billionaire Carl Lindner, a
leading figure in latter-day American gangster circles. Lindner chaired
United Fruit/Chiquita Banana, running that empire along with mobster Max
Fisher, and was considered the godfather and organizer of the entire Michael
Milken junk bond swindle.
-
- McAuliffe arranged for the use of the White House Lincoln
bedroom for donors, and personally brought Lindner into the White House.
Then the Clinton Administration, and trade representative Mickey Kantor,
went into the "banana wars" (tariffs, etc.) against Europe on
behalf of Lindner's company.
-
- In about 1995, Lindner made McAuliffe the chairman of
a huge Lindner subsidiary in Florida, American Heritage Homes. For the
rest of Clinton's tenure, McAuliffe was taking a chairman's salary and
profits from the Lindner organization--by informed accounts, doing nothing
for the money but providing access to the White House--until McAuliffe
resigned in October 2000, shortly before becoming Democratic chairman.
-
- But this was not nearly enough.
-
- In 1997, McAuliffe was hired as a consultant by billionaire
Gary Winnick, creator of Global Crossing company and a partner with DLC
kingpin Michael Steinhardt in Israeli operations.
-
- Working out of Winnick's office in Los Angeles, McAuliffe
made political connections that helped spin up the value of Winnick's holdings.
As Global Crossing's phony stock inflated towards its inevitable collapse,
McAuliffe sold out at just the right moment. He turned an original $100,000
stake into an $18 million profit. Investors not on the inside lost tens
of billions in Global Crossing's bankruptcy.
-
- Later Global Crossing hired Richard Perle to convince
the Defense Department to allow the sale of the company to Chinese investors.
Since Perle was being paid $700,000-plus to lobby the Pentagon, of whose
Defense Policy Board he was chairman, this became part of the case leading
to his forced resignation as chairman of the DPB.
-
- Perle has promised to contribute these particular ill-gotten
gains to the widows his war makes.
-
- Perhaps Terry McAuliffe will now likewise resign and
cough up his loot.
-
- Look, now, at the gangster cartel that sent Democratic
chairman McAufliffe to Israel in February 2002: When the decent elements
in Israeli politics were demanding an end to Ariel Sharon's murderous war
provocations, when the Labor Party was agoinizing over whether they should
stop collaborating with Sharon, McAuliffe showed up--"representing
the U.S. Democrats"!--to support Sharon in his difficulties.
-
- Look, now, at the gangster cartel that went in person,
Michael Steinhardt and Marc Rich, to Israel in January 2003; they intrigued
inside the Labor Party, to fatally undermine the candidacy of Amram Mitzna
that challenged Sharon's war drive.
-
- Gaze, now, at African-American Democrat Donna Brazile,
as she strategizes with Bush adviser Karl Rove on how to crush Democratic
opposition to the war. As Al Gore's 2000 campaign manager, Brazile arranged
to cancel the South Carolina Democratic primary so Democrats would vote
for McCain (against Bush in the state GOP primary), and has since been
a McCain-Lieberman mole. Basking in the Ashcroft witchhunt atmosphere,
Brazile attacks Sen. Daschle for insufficient hawkishness; she sneers that
the Congressional Black Caucus members seem to "have their reasons,"
for not applauding the war. She says that for President, she could "support
Lieberman. Gephardt or Lieberman."
-
- In sum, this is why the Democratic Party has failed to
function in the present crisis.
