By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., November 8, 2012

The new, very grave danger about to strike the trans-Atlantic regions, now, since the U.S. Presidential campaign has now climaxed, is the immediate threat of hyper-inflation in both the U.S.A. and the Euro Zone of western and central Europe. For example, the prospect for both the Democratic and Republican U.S.A. parties, and for Europe under current policies, is a kind of austerity measures which, by their very nature, could have no different effect than the rocketing of an accelerating rate of hyper-inflation.

The crucial factor to be considered, on that account, at this moment, is the misguided tradition inherent in a gold-bug variety of monetarist’s typically delusory presumption, that the issue of inflation is definable in terms of hard money per se. For example: for the cases of North America and all of western and central Europe, under the conditions existing in the trans-Atlantic region at this time, obviously the northern trans-Atlantic sector, the danger of a general Weimar-style hyper-inflationary surge is the relatively most immediate threat, for reason of that region’s most significant global effects on the world at large.

At the point of the close of the recent U.S.A. national elections, this specific type of hyper-inflationary factor now being launched in both of the indicated trans-Atlantic sectors, remains the principal source tending toward a relatively immediate general breakdown-crisis.

There are, chiefly, three corrective measures needed for the exemplary case of the U.S. economy itself, but also the entirety of the northern trans-Altantic regions’ economies.

1.) Immediate, sweeping installation and application of the precise re-enactment of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Glass-Steagall measures.

2.) A physical-economic recovery program based on the establishment of a system of public credit.

3.) The initiation of long-term physical investment in basic physically productive economic infrastructure networks which promote high rates of increase of basic economic physical infrastructure, as this is typified by the example of a launching of the NAWAPA power-and-water program waiting to be launched inside the United States, Canada, and northern Mexico.

Such measures as the combination of those three will tend to have the most beneficial effects for mankind, per capita and per unit of spatial development.

Leading Factors

In seeking to mark out the combined factors of development for a global return to physical-economic growth and net productivity, per capita and per square kilometer, the increase of the energy-flux density is essential. This includes, with increasing prominence, the reliance on very high-energy-flux-density sources of power and productive intensity. This must take into account, the rising need for measures of defense against an increase of deadly threats to mankind on Earth from asteroids and comets. The success of the Mars landing of the Curiosity innovation, is to be counted as a contribution toward meeting the increasing need, for those on Earth, in defense of human life on Earth, those measures needed for reason of the potential which such defense-of-Earth programs are intended to provide.

The Important Thing Is the Effect

The frequent emphasis on cheap labor, as opposed to science-driven progress in the creative powers, and in their effect on human productivity per capita and per square kilometer of Earth’s surface, must be dropped, and the latter must be revived: rapidly and extensively. The typical, required, net effect, is the accelerated increase of the energy-flux density per capita and per unit of the Earth’s surface.

There is nothing strained, or strange in such a mandate. The distinction of the human mind, from that of the beasts and men-turned-into-slaves, is that mankind is the only species which has demonstrated an inherent capability of its only, voluntary development, and even the mere defense of the human population. Zero growth, if continued, were ultimately total death for our species.

In general, insofar as actual progress has occurred within and among nations, it is the science-driven increase of the inherent productive powers of society, per capita and per unit of territory, which supplies a needed rough measure of required orientations and accomplishments. That means, that, during the course of the next generation, both Earth and nearby Mars will be characterized—if our societies are sane—by the realization of the potential of thermonuclear-fusion applications among such locations as Earth, its Moon, and Mars.

While the role of mankind as a temporary or other inhabitant of Mars may remain uncertain for us presently, the fact is, that efficient reliance on the use of the speed of light as a communications system operating within nearby regions of the Solar system, presents us, here on Earth, with the option of increasing control over the processes located, for example, within the regions of the Solar system marked out from the vicinity beyond Mars, to the verge of Venus. This specific aspect of required progress is of increasing grave importance respecting the threats from asteroids and comets against human life and its very existence over the course of the successive decades of our century.

As war had been, sometimes, the driver of scientific-economic progress, so, the defense of the region betwixt Mars and Venus, and, beyond, must be recognized, without panic, of course, as a convenient measure of the rates of scientific-economic progress which mankind must achieve during the remaining successive generations of the human population during the remainder of this present century: Look up to the stars, as the world’s leading astronauts had both warned and promised during the time of the launching and development of programs such as NASA.

At this moment, the very continued existence of the human species demands thinking in those directions which I have summarized here.

How to Shape the Future: Glass-Steagall is the Lever

Lyndon LaRouche and Jeffrey Steinberg, Counterintelligence Editor for LaRouche’s Executive Intelligence Review magazine, outlined the following strategic perspective to a private gathering with foreign diplomats in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 8, 2012:

LYNDON LAROUCHE: Well, people are talking about what happened recently, and certainly what has happened recently is significant, but I want to emphasize something which is much more important than what has happened so far.

I’ll speak of the future. Because we’re now plowing in the direction of thermonuclear warfare. We’ve been hovering on the edge of that since the developments in Libya, the close of that, and it has been a threat in which certain forces, including especially in Russia, with some people in the United States—the Joint Chiefs of Staff—have been collaborating to try to prevent madmen from launching thermonuclear warfare. Because as some of you know, from your expertise, that in thermonuclear warfare today, with what it means today, it means at the beginning of a launch by any party, every other party of significance will relaunch within minutes of the launch of the first party. And that will lead within a space of an hour and a half, or less, into a threatened extermination of much of the human species, if we know how the aftermath of a thermonuclear war goes, and the killing of this whole area of existence is possible.

We’ve come to the point that actually thermonuclear warfare, among major parties, is something that cannot be fought, but you have to fight off the threat of it. And that’s where we are now.

The United States is not actually in a good position in this respect, because we, with our forces, especially our submarine forces and so forth, are the principal assailants in any thermonuclear war! Because of the decay of the European economies, the decay of other economies, that Europe no longer has the relative military capacity in depth, that it once had before, except outside of Russia itself, whereas, otherwise, the human race is in jeopardy.

So the question is, is, how are we going to shape the future? Because the past is not worth much living, except memories, and good memories and useful experience. But the past has not been a guide to the future, at least not recently. And therefore, the challenge is, how do reap that?

Now there’s a peculiar feature of this, which is not an accident, but it’s a failing of the development of the human species generally. The human species is the only species we know of, which is capable of seeing the future. No other species can actually see the future. They will tend to project what they hope is the future from things like statistical forecasting. And we’re coming into a period where statistical forecasting is absolutely useless. And therefore governments, nations, and peoples have to start thinking in terms of what they mean, or what they should mean, by the idea of the ability to forecast the future.

I’ve had some experience in this. It’s been my specialty since my reach into this area in the 1950s, and I’ve often been successful, but it doesn’t work the way most people think it does. But the idea of insight into the future, as opposed to an extrapolation, like a statistical extrapolation of the past, is feasible, and that’s where we are.

For example, right now you have in the United States, as a result of this election, you have a Republican Party which took the defeat normally, in the process, and the Democratic Party, both of whom approached the whole issue of now with total incompetence. What was said in the campaign generally, by both parties, was absolutely incompetent nonsense, and breeds a potential disaster for that reason. So the important thing now is to get ideas across in various circles which do represent a true way of discovering what the future is.

Now, what I mean by the future is: One sees people from statistical methods saying, well, the trend is, and therefore as a result of this trend, events will go in a certain direction, and they will not go in another direction. And there’s sometimes a debate about that, but in my experience, most of these estimates have been incompetent. That the world is taken by surprise most often, compared to what they had forecast beforehand.

What’s the problem now? Take the typical problem of the United States right now. Both parties approached this crisis, not just as a strategic crisis, not just as a military crisis, but as an economic crisis. Both parties uttered, with absolute incompetence, about the future. Their ideas are worthless and they will be proven worthless very rapidly. And the changes are going to come very rapidly.

Because, for example, you have both the Democratic Party, with its President of the United States, and the Republican Party, have a policy which is completely idiotic. It’s a statistical process, which they are saying they’re going to cut everything, except certain things they decide are the things that should be invested in, which they consider useful. Now, what they will do, by this great program of forecasting, what they will do is actually destroy everything. Because this whole system is coming down. The only way you can do it is have a change in the nature of the system. And the changes are possible. But the problem is that the minds of people who think they’re geniuses and leaders of society, have no competence whatsoever in defining the actual problems of the future. That is, things which are not projections of past trend, but are a new development which intervenes to change the course of history.

This happens all the time. Most people miss it most of the time. I’ve overlooked it a number of times, but generally that’s what we’re looking for: the ability to forecast the future.

For example: Let’s take the key thing of the United States and Russia today. There’s a crisis there, isn’t there? We have the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, which are committed to avoiding thermonuclear war, and have gone to great lengths, and their chief partner in this discussion, as in the Russian case, has been that: is the attempt to prevent the imminence of a thermonuclear conflict from breaking out.

We’re very close to this with the Turkey issue. Turkey’s intervention in the Middle East was actually a very serious threat, of a casus belli, for thermonuclear war. Because once the United States, together with a retinue of European states, were to move in in support, under NATO agreement, with the intervention into the Middle East, you are on the verge of a thermonuclear confrontation. It’s that close, it’s that possible. And therefore, our ability to understand not only this, but our ability to understand what the alternatives are, in terms of economic and related policies, which will neutralize this problem. And it’s not an easy one, as I think most people from relevant countries know. It’s a very dangerous situation, but the problem basically is idiocy. I mean by idiocy, the inability to foresee the consequences of the present for the future, in a turning point in history. That’s the problem. And that’s where the least competence occurs, because governments tend to grab onto…

For example, take the history of modern warfare. The history of modern warfare began with the ouster of the Minister of Germany (Bismarck) and they got rid of him in 1890, Bismarck, and Bismarck had made an arrangement with Russia, with the two Czars successively, one after the other. And the two Czars had agreed with Bismarck that they would not permit the British to use that old fool, the Austrian Emperor, in order to start a Balkan War! Because the intention was to use a Balkan war as a trigger for world war, and as long as Bismarck was sitting on top of things, with an agreement with Russia, there was not going to be that kind of war.

So, the British, who wanted the war, simply did the obvious thing: They got rid of Bismarck, through the British Royal Family’s connections. And the war began in 1893. Bismarck was kicked out in 1890, the war began with the agreement between Britain and Japan to conduct the war on China. That was the beginning of a long period of warfare, which has been going on continuously from that time, to the present day. Different expressions of wars, recurrence of wars, new recurrences of wars, and things of that nature.

So the problem today is to open our minds to the fact that statistical forecasting is not only intrinsically incompetent, as forecasting, but it can be also a death sentence, imposed by people who make fools of themselves. And therefore, the important thing is, those of us who can understand, or bring themselves to understand, the principles of the future… Remember, mankind is the only species which has an organic capability of foreseeing the future.

And this doesn’t work in the simple projection, but it sees a change in direction is boiling underneath the surface. Like this case of the Bismarck. Bismarck was a forecaster. Another great forecaster was MacArthur, General MacArthur. He was one of the most brilliant forecasters in existence, and he showed that when he was a colonel, being promoted to General officer, in France, in the First World War. He was, as in Inchon, and the Inchon event in Korea, he was the greatest genius in warfare, because he didn’t like warfare. He tried to avoid it. He tried to anticipate the warfare before it happened, and then try to avert it. He opposed the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Japan.

Why? What was his argument? First of all, it’s not necessary, and secondly, you’re introducing a factor into history which is going to kick you in the face sooner or later. So, there was never any need, actually, for use of nuclear weapons.

Roosevelt would not have done it, but Truman, who was a fool, did. And it did it under British direction. Because the British wanted the war.

Well, we’ve been in a period of warfare, of international warfare, since Bismarck was kicked out of the Chancellory. And that’s a long process.

Like now. What’s the situation with the Turkey situation? We’ve got a situation now in the Middle East, Near East, which is extremely dangerous. And a foolish move can lead to a disaster. Fortunately we have in the case of the negotiation between Russia and some other forces, and the United States, in particular, we have an agreement, with some people in the United States, with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but not all of the ruling forces in the United States agree with the Joint Chiefs of Staff on this policy.

The President of the United States, the current one, was inclined to go to world war. The Joint Chiefs intervened to prevent us from going to world war by going into the Middle East in a way that would’ve triggered World War III. So, a complete lack of understanding of the future.

And the fact is, again, I say, that it is possible to know the future. That’s my specialty, and it’s perfectly possible. Mankind is the only known species, which has been able to get an accurate estimate, a feeling, of what is coming down on the future. And any human being is potentially capable of doing that. It’s the characteristic of the human species. It’s the thing that makes the difference—the human intellect makes the difference between man and beast, and that’s the fundamental difference. And that difference is the ability, if you develop the capability, and respond to it, to sense the future. For example, to sense that another battle can lead to a general war. That sort of thing.

And you take the cases of studies of warfare, especially modern warfare since 1890, you see in that time this has been over and over again. They start the incendiary process of conflict, and the incendiary process of conflict then takes over and becomes the general warfare.

Now the other side of it is, economics. And I can tell you that both the Democratic and Republican Party leaders are idiots on economics. What they’re proposing, both parties, will not work. There has to be a complete change. They’re going with what they call an austerity program. They’re saying they’re going to select certain parts of the economy, which they’re going to maintain. Other parts they’re not going to maintain—that’s their argument. And they’re going to lead it for a period, and what will happen, actually, is they will trigger, as of now, under the present system if they do that, there’ll be a runaway hyperinflation.

Because they assume that money itself—that’s their presumption—that money itself determines the future. But it’s not money itself; it’s production. It’s the development of new technologies. These are the factors which determine history in a positive way. And what they’re doing now, if they continue this process, they will go very quickly, in both Europe and in the United States and elsewhere, into a hyperinflation, an hyperinflationary explosion.

Because if they try to cut, you cut production, if you limit the number of people working, if you lower the standards of technology, that is not going to be an austerity measure which saves the economy. Every nation has to fight like the devil, so to speak, to make sure that they’re having the technological progress, the realized technological progress, which allows us to cope with the future.

And that’s where we stand. That’s where I stand. And I see the only hope for mankind, in general, is that we must: First of all, we have to deal with this question of threat of general warfare, thermonuclear warfare. That threat exists. It’s more acute today than it ever was. Because the economic situation, the economic crisis, especially in Europe, and in the United States, that economic crisis is a bomb. It can set off general warfare. And it will be thermonuclear warfare.

Under this President? Thermonuclear warfare.

So therefore, our problem is to understand this, to foresee not only what is coming, but to foresee what the alternative could be. Which means that certain kinds of understandings and agreements are preciously important for all of us. And it’s those who come to an understanding of this problem, who will be able to contribute to solutions to this threat. And that’s my specialty. That’s what I’m concerned about.

I have other things I’m concerned about as well. But this is my specialty, and the point is that the human species, contrary to rumor, contrary to the many traditions—the human species is different from all other living creatures we’ve ever known in the whole history of biology. And that is human creativity, the ability of the mind to foresee its ability to make a change in the course of economy, or similar kinds of things.

And which therefore, inspires the people who understand this, inspires them to take the action which they know exists. Whereas the typical person, who’s doing statistical forecasting, cannot foresee the alternative. They see a deductive result, and therefore to them it becomes the inevitable, and the more foolish people, and foolish leaders, always think about the condition is the inevitable. And anyone who’s a real leader, a capable leader, is always the person who says, this must not happen, and therefore, this is what we must do, to avoid this.

We have the same thing right now between Russia, in this area, and the United States, in terms of Dempsey and company. They are defining the problem as MacArthur would have done. Look for the alternative. Don’t try to treat the present as inevitable. Change the agenda. And understand what the change is that’s available to be made. It requires what is called an imagination, and what we have among most governments today, in Western and central Europe, in the United States, is a paucity of insight into reality.

And it’s that very stubborn stupidity, of clinging to traditions, or clinging to what they think are their commitments, which can lead mankind to its own self-destruction. And that’s the challenge.

Now we have some things, Jeff has been working on this thing, particularly the Benghazi development as looked at from the standpoint of the United States policy. We recently had a discussion of this publicly in the press, and he has the same information that he used before in the presentation with the press here. And also, he and I are also available to you to answer questions.

JEFFREY STEINBERG: Thank you. A lot of very foolish leaders, particularly in Western Europe, cracked open the champagne on Tuesday night, when they saw that President Obama was re-elected. And the principal reason for this, especially in Western Europe, was that the European leadership is desperate to assure the continuation of the very destructive hyperinflationary policies that Mr. LaRouche just mentioned. And the continuation of Obama, along with Bernanke and whoever replaces Geithner sometime in the next few months, was seen as the guarantee that the United States, through the Federal Reserve, will continue to pump massive amounts of money—most of it covertly—into the European Central Bank, to continue the policy of bailing out the European private banks, the European government debt, without doing anything to address the fact that they’re creating, on a trans-Atlantic and probably global scale, a replay of the Weimar hyperinflation of 1923.

And so, to the extent that that policy continues, it’s fair to estimate that sometime in the very near future, perhaps even before the end of this year, that you’re going to have some kind of major hyperinflationary explosion that’s going to hit the trans-Atlantic region.

The European bailout has been so centrally carried out through the United States, that something as minor as Greece announcing a default, which could happen within the next week, and at that point, moving to leave the Eurozone, could have massive and immediate repercussions across the Atlantic, here into the United States.

Now, one of the things that Governor Romney said during his campaign, that was actually correct—although he never presented any alternative policy—was, at a few points during the debates, he blurted out that the United States is going in the direction of Greece. Now, that’s not because President Obama is some closet socialist or something like that, but it’s because of this hyperinflationary bailout policy. The projection is that by the end of this year, without a radical change in policy, the U.S. government debt is going to reach $16.8 trillion, which means that every single individual in the United States is carrying in the range of $250,000 in debt, without considering any of their own personal indebtedness. This is 35% greater than the debt in Greece, and is even a more significant increase over the indebtedness of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and even France. So the whole trans-Atlantic region is really right now, not down the road, but right at this moment, on the cusp of that kind of a hyperinflationary blowout, which will have massive repercussions around the globe.

Instead of investing in even the most basic infrastructure, the plans of which have been on the books for decades, trillions and trillions of dollars in the last four years went into bailing out bankrupt financial institutions, not just in the U.S., but on both sides of the Atlantic. So, you get an event like the hurricane that hit the East Coast of the United States, rather than implementing plans that had been designed years ago, had been discussed at conferences in New York City to build a barrier against flooding, because the storm that happened had been long anticipated as almost certain event—a $6 billion development program instead is now going to require $50-$100 billion in reconstruction. And that money is not there and it won’t happen, because of the commitment to the austerity policies.

Now, back in 1972, during a Presidential election that bears a lot of similarity to the current one, Richard Nixon was re-elected President by a landslide against Senator George McGovern, and at that point, nobody foresaw the events that would happen almost immediately after that, leading to Nixon’s removal from office. It’s an understatement to say that the crimes that have already been committed by the current administration, go far beyond those that were ever committed by President Nixon. And these issues, now that President Obama has been re-elected, are not going to be swept under the table. They’re going to come up very prominently, and I think one of the major of those developments that I’ll go through in some detail right now, are the events that occurred on Sept. 11th, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya.

This was the second 9/11 attack, and there’s no other way to describe it, and effectively, two things happened that rise to the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors under the U.S. Constitution, involving President Obama. One of them is the fact that there were massive warnings well in advance, and those warnings were ignored and therefore even minimal improvements in security at those facilities in Benghazi were outright rejected. It was never carried out. Who made that decision precisely, how high up in the Administration it went, we don’t know at this moment, because there was an absolute silence at the White House on what in fact happened.

But we do know certain things on the basis of documents that are not leaks, that are not rumors, that are not media spin or speculation, but are government documents that were made available from the State Department, and then made public by the House Government Oversight Committee, posted on their website, available for anybody who cares to look at them. I’ve selected a handful of those documents, to just give an idea of two critical aspects of this Benghazi issue. Number one, the knowledge in advance that was ignored, and therefore there was no security. And then the decision to systematically, repeatedly lie to the American people afterwards, for reasons tied to the elections primarily. …

[Steinberg reviews documents that were also in the Nov. 2 press conference, http://larouchepac.com/node/24366]

Now the misrepresentation of the events on the ground was not something that was confusion, or fog of war, or anything of the sort. It was a critical moment in the campaign, and there was a conscious decision at the White House not to send Secretary of State Clinton on TV, because, of course, the State Department had the most detailed profile of what had happened. But they sent Ambassador Rice, and then the President followed afterwards, and made similar comments on his own.

So, this issue is not going to go away, particularly now with the President’s re-election. The issue of the policies related to the global war on terrorism will not go away. The issues of the drone assassinations, the issues of the Tuesday afternoon weekly meetings setting assassination targets. All of these things now are going to be issues that are going to be on the table, and they will be on the table because we are heading into major strategic crises, what Mr. LaRouche identified earlier in terms of the hyperinflationary blowout, and even more immediately, the war danger.

Yesterday, the major news coming out of the Middle East was that now that the President has been re-elected, plans are being promoted by Prime Minister Cameron of Britain, and by some people in the Administration here, to immediately escalate to provide heavy weaponry to the Syrian opposition, and perhaps set up a safe zone, perhaps even a no-fly zone, around part of Syrian territory.

What happens if the Russians respond to certain treaty agreements they have with Syria, and provide advanced air defense systems as the U.S. and NATO are creating a no-fly zone, which obviously means an act of war, as we saw in the case of Libya?

So the issue of a strategic confrontation, the choice of whether to go in that direction or to break from this pattern, and go in a direction of a strategic cooperation to deal with both the hyperinflationary crisis, and to once and for all put down the war danger, is on the table right now. It’s a moment of critical choices in the immediate weeks ahead. This is not something that can be postponed into next year, or into the year after.

And so, this is the state of the world right now.

LAROUCHE: Let me put a point on this event.

The option here, in light of what I said earlier, is that if there is an economic solution made clear on this basis, particularly within Europe and also in the United States…. Remember what the Administration is doing, what the Republican Party was doing before, is an absolute folly.

Now, the best way to spread a war is to spread desperation. And a state of economic desperation has often been the pretext for the spread of major wars. This is the danger. Therefore, if the economic solution is put on the table—and there is an economic solution—then we lessen the danger of war. That has often been a principle. If you want to drive a nation to war, drive it to desperation. You want to drive a nation to war? Take the government of the nation, and drive them to desperation, where war is the only way they can see of covering their butt. And that’s the kind of situation we face.

Therefore the crucial issue—you cannot separate these events that occurred and the process they represent, from the economic issue now. Now you know, in particular, that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, in going out of the election process, emphasized that they each had an economic policy which was going to be enforced immediately on the future. The Republican version is different from the Democratic version, but they’re both the same kind of nonsense, because they’re talking about austerity. Now austerity is a very dangerous word, in terms of a nation, the United States, where we have a great number of people are desperately unemployed!

We have the situation in New York and New Jersey. These cause desperation. Governments sometimes act with desperation, because they want to cover and distract from a problem that they haven’t been able to deal with.

So, we’re in a situation where the factor of distraction becomes a tendency.

The increase of the intensity in terms of Syria, the Syria situation is, again, is a potential cockpit, because the Israeli situation was somewhat brought under relative control, but it’s not under control, and therefore, we’re still in a hot-box.

So, the crucial thing, from my standpoint, is, is there an economic solution? Well, there is, if they cut the nonsense out. Because, if, for example, there’s a policy which is very popular now among leading circles in Europe, especially in England, of all places, for going to Glass-Steagall, a Glass-Steagall policy. The revival of a Glass-Steagall policy, which was initially founded by President Roosevelt, that policy would again lead to a solution for the economic crisis. That means you would simply shut down a certain kind of bank, or put them into a different category; you would go back to those banks which qualify as Glass-Steagall banks, and the other banks would be on their own. They would either fall or survive, it’s up to them.

But then, the U.S. government would have a responsibility, to issue credit, in order to revive the U.S. economy. The revival of the U.S. economy, by programs which are really available right now, they’re large-scale projects and other projects, if they were put into operation, if Glass-Steagall were put into place, other things were put into place which are part of that same program, we could stop the problem!

Because the problem in the world today, is you have a big hyperinflationary program in the trans-Atlantic region, a hyperinflationary program which has spread throughout much of the world, from Europe and from the United States itself. And this hyperinflation is actually the tinderbox, which can lead to thermonuclear war, because of desperation factors.

And therefore, the importance of changing the policy of the United States, into going back to a Franklin Roosevelt type of policy, which is the only thing that would work, you have leading circles in the United Kingdom, for example, who are pushing this very strongly; they recognize the importance of doing it.

You have people in Europe, the situation in Spain, the situation in Portugal, the situation in Greece, the situation in Italy, these are all dangerous situations because they are sparks, which can ignite the kind of crisis that can spread to war. And thus, the economic solution, and seeing the economic solution, and seeing what the the danger is, of a lack of an economic solution, means that we are still hanging, on the verge, of a threat of a thermonuclear war.

And the point is, that you have to change the political leadership, then, and sometimes the political leadership is changed by a very subtle methods, not by changing people, and dumping some out and pulling some in, but rather by simply changing the policy. And when the policy is recognized as an alternative to desperation, you can often quiet down a serious situation. Which is exactly what Bismarck was doing, until he was ousted in 1890, where he had actually delayed the attempt of the British, to organize the foolish old Kaiser of Austria, who was going to start a Balkan War. And because Bismarck made an agreement with the Czar, both Czars, actually, in succession, the war was held off.

When Bismarck was thrown out of office, under the British Monarchy did that, actually, in Germany, and that changed everything, and then we had what became known as the Great War, which was actually fought as battles, from 1893 on, into the present day.

There is only one real war, of this type. It started when Bismarck was thrown out of office, and it’s continued off and on, again and again, to the present day: Different characters, different scenarios, different things, but the same thing, of an imperial sense of trying to drive the world, into submission, to a new world system. And, it’s useful that we try to prevent this. We have to prevent this kind of thing, there’s no question. But you have to do it successfully. And to do it successfully, means, you’ve got to change the economic picture. The economic picture is the lever, by which to control these kinds of processes.

7 de noviembre de 2012 — Enseguida se reproducen los comentarios de Lyndon LaRouche al inicio del programa semanal }LPAC Weekly Report{ de hoy, luego de que se anunciaron los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales de 2012.

Un verdadero gran Presidente, el 7 de diciembre de 1941, declaró que ese día fue un “día de infamia”. Y lo mismo se puede decir del 7 de noviembre, ahora.

Lo que sucedió obviamente que causó este resultado fue predeterminado en Florida, en el mentado último debate que ocurrió. Y en ese momento, en realidad, el candidato republicano capituló, de modo en que no me sorprendió que lo haya hecho, como ayer. Este es verdaderamente un “día de infamia”.

Ahora bien, cuando nos enfrentamos a un día de infamia, como lo hizo Roosevelt con el del 7 de diciembre de 1941, un americano que sea líder de algún tipo, tiene que responder de cierto modo. Y como no tenemos un candidato presidencial creíble a la vista, incluyendo al que hemos puesto en el cargo de nuevo por ahora, yo tengo que decir algo al respecto.

¿Qué sucedió? El candidato republicano capituló ante Wall Street. Esto es, que el Partido Republicano está fuertemente representado en Wall Street, y mientras que él pudo haber ganado fácilmente la Presidencia, con razones, simplemente señalando la cuestión del crimen cometido por el Presidente en turno, al dejar de hacer eso, bajo presión de los representantes o voces de Wall Street, se perdió todo. De ahí en adelante, todo pendía de un hilo, y eventualmente, se perdió. Se perdió debido al fraude de la camarilla de Obamay demás, y se convirtió en ese momento en una causa perdida, y obviamente, los republicanos simplemente entregaron todo lo que les habían dado. Ahora, eso es lo que tenemos enfrente.

¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de esta selección de la reelección de este Presidente? Bueno, primero que todo, significa que vamos a tener las peores condiciones que haya tenido el pueblo estadounidense en los últimos siglos; van a golpear de repente. Una combinación de austeridad e hiperinflación va a golpear. Lo que va a suceder es que ¡va a aumentar la tasa de mortalidad entre la gente más pobre y otras de Estados Unidos! Nada bueno, como tal, saldrá de este resultado electoral. Por lo tanto, tenemos que hacer frente a la realidad.

Ahora bien, ¿cuál es la realidad? La realidad es la probabilidad de una guerra termonuclear, que significaría la virtual extinción de la humanidad, que ocurrirá probablemente, a menos que podamos impedirlo por otros medios. Pero así estamos. Nos dirigimos hacia la guerra; el gobierno de Obama es un gobierno de guerra, y si no se le puede obstaculizar de algún modo, ¡sucederá¡ Y si hay una guerra, si hay una guerra entre las naciones ahora, será una guerra termonuclear, de la cual muy poca gente sobreviva probablemente, y quizás la civilización en su conjunto no sobreviviría.

Entonces, la cuestión es, ¿qué vamos a hacer, en términos de la incertidumbre? Lo que siempre hemos hecho, como hizo George Washington al cruzar el Delaware; siempre hacemos el tipo de cosas que son necesarias para salvar a la civilización y para salvar a esta nación en particular. Y lo vamos hacer según la ley. Y se hará de acuerdo a la ley, y en el debido momento, este Presidente estará fuera del cargo. Puede ser pronto, puede ser algo más tarde, pero no es apto para servir, moral y factualmente, y ¡no estará en el cargo por mucho tiempo! Con esperanza, algo de Estados Unidos sobrevivirá.

Y voy a decir más al respecto en los próximos días. Pero esta es la primera ocasión en la que tenemos una expresión oficial de nuestra organización, desde el anuncio de la elección, y por lo tanto, era mí deber señalar este punto, esta mañana, en esta ocasión, para dejarlo por sentado.

Os dejo con una entrevista mucho más extensa que me hicieron el viernes en Milan.

This is a 27 minute interview on my new book Invisible Empire, just released in Italy. We discussed nation states, Mnti, Italy, economic crisis, financial instability of euro. Some of the highlights of the interview: I called Monti a “piece of shit” and said that Saviano “is a fake”. Indeed he is. Saviano, who is a very well known Italian author has kept quirt whilr Monti and compnay have done all in their power to destroy Italy as a nation. Saviano, who do you work for? Not for the Italy, that´s for sure.

Acabamos de lanzar una iniciativa super interesante con mi editorial EdicionesB, mini libros en formato digital de 35-40 páginas cada uno hablando de temas candentes de actualidad. El primero, acaba de salir -CAMINO DEL INFIERNO. Os dejo la descripción. No tiene desperdicio.

Parece que sobre la crisis ya está todo dicho. Sí, todo menos LA VERDAD. Detrás del cataclismo financiero se oculta una oscura trama de intereses que busca la destrucción del progreso tecnológico y educativo de los estados-nación y, en última instancia, el control demográfico de la población mundial. Todo ello para que el poder y la riqueza se perpetúen en las mismas manos: las de la elite que gobierna el mundo sin que nadie sea consciente de ello. Una vez más Daniel Estulin pone bajo los focos una verdad incómoda para muchos pero reveladora para todos. Si no queremos que la oligarquía acabe definitivamente con nosotros, nos empobrezca, nos analfabetice, nos prostituya y, literalmente, nos mate de hambre, es el momento de abrir los ojos, entender que lo que está ocurriendo es un plan perfectamente orquestado y que todavía podemos hacer algo para devolver el golpe.

Part 1/ Primera parte

Colgamos la primera parte del informe Bilderberg directamente relacionado con España. Resumen: La situación es crítica. Bilderberg está decidido a sacrificar España para salvar una parte del sistema financiero.

BILDERBERG: “SPAIN WILL BE SACRIFICED.”

Throughout the three day Bilderberg meeting, European bankers, American government officials and international money managers conducted tense discussions behind closed doors on the wisdom of Germany extending the country´s credit to paper over the indebtedness of the rest of Europe. One German Bilderberger pointed out that Germany’s resources are finite, while another German stated matter of fact that “it would be impossible in the currently rarified political and economic climate to try and convince German voters to support Spain, a country plagued by corruption and inefficiency.”

The key message from the meeting: come hell or high water, it is imperative to preserve the functioning of the banking system. Spain´s Vice President received a dose of humility when she tried to push the issue of “responsibility” telling her high powered German Bilderberg colleagues that they should issue Eurobonds to save the system. The reply was more than telling: “go pound sand, little girl,” is how Bilderberg high powered elite replied to “Soraya´s” baseless pretensions. Eurobonds are guaranteed by Germany but would be spent mostly by Europe’s PIIGS.

The conclusion couldn´t have been more frightful for Spain´s immediate future. Spain will be sacrificed on the altar of high finance. “Why would we want to save you, if Spain has lied about the depth of its financial troubles?” asked one German participant of Spain´s vice president. “Your banking system is worthless. Do you have equity that might be of interest to anyone?” The answer was a resounding, “NO.” One US government official stated that “the time has come to press the alarm button.”

The sense of panic was growing as the weekend progressed and deliberations became more and more tense. Unlike Spanish citizens, Bilderberg has access to a complete data on deposit money flight from Spain which they believe to be twice the announced 66.2 billion euros in March.

“March was an eternity ago in financial terms,” as one Bilderberg noted. Hard numbers speak for themselves. The debt of Spanish financial institutions is 109% of Gross Domestic Product, twice the amount in France or Germany, and three times that of the United States. Unpayable loans in the construction sector are 40% of GDP in real terms, and not the 20% the Rajoy government has been selling to the world.

Another Bilderberg stated that “The problem with Spain is that its construction sector is an 800kg gorilla in a china shop,” as large as the entire manufacturing sector. By contrast, in Germany, construction is 20% the size of manufacturing.

Another Bilderberg pointed out that one year ago, the ratio of financial-sector debt relative to Gross Domestic Product declined from US$8 trillion to $6.1 trillion. One trillion dollars of these loses can be attributed to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, JPMorgan Chase’s purchase of Bear Stearns, and the Bank of America-Merrill Lynch merger.

In conclusion, the Spanish banking system including Spanish bank held debt of Spanish households are going to die. As I stated on record on May 31, Spain´s leading bank, Banco Santander has an unpayable debt of over 800 billion euros. Bilderberg obviously knows this. Metastasis has spread to all parts of the system. Shadow Masters have spoken and the script has been written. It remains to be seen how long the actors take to play out their parts.

There is a solution. Spain must immediate leave the euro and go back to being an independent nation-state republic.

BILDERBERG: “ESPAÑA SERÁ SACRIFICADA.”

BILDERBERG: “ESPAÑA SERÁ SACRIFICADA.”

A lo largo de los tres días de la reunión de Bilderberg, los banqueros europeos, funcionarios del gobierno estadounidense y gestores financieros internacionales han tenido tensas discusiones a puerta cerrada en el conocimiento de que Alemania está extendiendo el crédito endeudando al resto de Europa. Un alemán Bilderberger señaló que los recursos de Alemania son finitos, mientras que otro alemán declaró que

“sería imposible en el enrarecido clima político y económico actual convencer a los votantes alemanes para apoyar a España, un país plagado por la corrupción y la ineficiencia.”

El mensaje clave de la reunión: contra viento y marea es imperativo preservar el funcionamiento del sistema bancario.

La Vicepresidenta de España (Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría), recibió una dosis de humildad cuando sacó el tema de la “responsabilidad” diciendo a sus poderosos colegas alemanes en Bilderberg que deberían emitir eurobonos para salvar el sistema. La respuesta fue más que elocuente: “piérdete niña,” es como los poderosos Bilderberg de la élite respondieron a las pretensiones sin fundamento “de Soraya”. Los eurobonos estarían garantizados por Alemania, pero los PIIGS (Cerdos en inglés por las iniciales de Portugal, Italia, Irlanda, Grecia y España) los gastarían en su mayor parte.

La conclusión no podría haber sido más terrible para el futuro inmediato de España. España va a ser sacrificada en el altar de las altas finanzas. “¿Por qué querríamos salvaros si España ha mentido sobre el alcance de sus problemas financieros?”, preguntó uno de los participantes alemanes a la vicepresidenta de España. “Vuestro sistema bancario no vale nada. ¿Tenéis acciones que puedan ser de interés para alguien?“, la respuesta fue un rotundo ”NO“.

Un funcionario del gobierno de EE.UU. afirmó que ”ha llegado el momento de pulsar el botón de alarma.“ La sensación de pánico fue creciendo a medida que avanzaba el fin de semana y las deliberaciones se volvieron más y más tensas. A diferencia de los ciudadanos españoles, Bilderberg tiene acceso a un conjunto de datos completos sobre la fuga de depósitos de dinero de España, que ellos creen que es el doble de los 66.200 millones de euros anunciados en marzo.”

“Marzo fue hace una eternidad en términos financieros”, señaló uno de los Bilderberg. Los duros números hablan por sí mismos. La deuda de las entidades financieras españolas es del 109% del Producto Interno Bruto, el doble de la de Francia o Alemania, y tres veces la de los Estados Unidos. Los préstamos impagables en el sector de la construcción son el 40% del PIB en términos reales, y no el 20% que el gobierno de Rajoy ha estado vendiendo al mundo.

Otro Bilderberg afirmó que “El problema de España es que el sector de la construcción es un gorila de 800 kg en una cacharrería”, tan grande como todo el sector manufacturero. Por el contrario, en Alemania, la construcción tiene el tamaño del 20% de la industria.

Otros en Bilderberg señalaron que hace un año, la proporción de la deuda del sector financiero en relación al Producto Interno Bruto se redujo de 8 billones de dólares de EE.UU. a $ 6.1 billones. Un billón de dólares de estas pérdidas se pueden atribuir a la quiebra de Lehman Brothers, la compra de JPMorgan Chase de Bear Stearns, y la fusión del Bank of America con Merrill Lynch.

En conclusión, el sistema bancario español, incluyendo la deuda de los hogares españoles, va a morir. Como dije y está registrado el 31 de mayo, el banco líder en España, Banco de Santander, tiene una deuda impagable de más de 800.000 millones de euros. Bilderberg obviamente lo sabe. La metástasis se ha extendido a todas las partes del sistema. Los Señores de las Sombras han hablado y se ha escrito el guión. Queda por ver cuánto tiempo pasará hasta que los actores interpreten sus papeles.

Hay una solución. España debe inmediatamente abandonar el euro y volver a ser una república estado-nación independiente.
