From the Managing Editor

Our Special Report this week contains an analysis of the Israeli' economy-a subject generally ignored-as well as exclusive intel­ligence on the timing and motivation for Ariel Sharon's removal as Israel's defense minister. The opportunity now exists for sane poli­tices to emerge in Israel, an opportunity that may not recur. How­ever, asEIR has been warned by our sources, Sharon may not yet be neutralized and may still "go on a rampage," mobilizing not only his large base of domestic support, but the network that backs him outside Israel. Thus, the outcome will in good measure depend on what happens, or does not happen, internationally.

Our subscribers will recall that Alexander Haig was forced out of the State Department in June 1982, not least because the President had caught him colluding with Sharon in the latter's drive to invade and partition Lebanon. It is Henry Kissinger, the godfather of Haig and Sharon, who is most responsible for the Lebanon disaster-the same Henry Kissinger who told a Texas audience just before the Beirut massacre that it should welcome chaos in the Middle East. A quarantine on Kissinger is one prerequisite for sovereignty and tran­quility in that region.

If Mr. Reagan really wants to get things moving, however, he will have to tackle the economic question. The missing ingredient in his peace plan is an emergency executive order returning the United States to a gold-backed reserve system, to provide a stable basis for long-tenn credit issuance. Then the President could sit down with developing nations to' arrange an expansion of world trade and in­vestment that would restore solvency to national treasuries and the world banking system, currently held hostage by a gargantuan un­payable debt.

Our editors returned from their recent trip to the Middle East convinced that if Israel and Egypt can be brought together in an effort to "make the deserts bloom" through desalination, nuclear energy, and other advanced-technology projects, each will revive its sense of national purpose, and the New World Economic Order-which is nothing more nor less than such commitments-will have come on the horizon.

From the Managing Editor

As we go to press on Jan. 14, the assassination of a U.S. Anny­Reserve Major General, Robert Ownby, Jr. constitutes a signal of the terrorist threat to the United States and President Reagan, and a signal foreboding chaos in Mexico and explosions on the U.S. Mex­ican border.

Major-General Ownby, found hung at Fort Sam Houston in Tex­as on Jan. 11 with his hands tied behind his back and an "anti­imperialist" note pinned to his unifonn, had an active-duty back­ground in both presidential security and anti-terrorist U.S. Anny activities. Ownby's probable killers are tied to the KGB-run Nazi­communist alliance in Mexico which we describe in this week's International section, and FBI-countenanced terrorist attachments whose underground center of strength is the U. S. Southwest.

EIR founder Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., in a statement' from Washington, D.C. on Jan. 12, declared: "I have strong reasons to suspect that the terrorist murder of Major-General Ownby is probably the work of the Soviet KGB's First Directorate, and an action linked to KGB assets based in the drug-running networks linked to the PAN opposition-party circles in northern Mexico.

"Since this terrorist murder is the subject of an ongoing investi­gation, I shall not report publicly certain sensitive pieces of evidence made available for my personal assessment. I shall say merely that an "inside job" of the type indicated would be most easily conducted through KGB channels operating through PAN-affiliated circles in northern Mexico....

"The right wing PAN opposition party in Mexico is riddled with pro-Nazi elements in its leadership, elements with historic links to both the faction of the Hapsburg Emperor Maximilian and, since approximately the 1890s, Gennan intelligence.... These connec­tions are maintained with participation of the Cuban secret intelli­gence service, the DGI, and intersect Lebanese family networks controlling much ofthe drugs-for-guns networks in Mexico and other Caribbean countries. This network operates in cooperation with a Khomeini terrorist-funding conduit through the Iranian embassy in Managua, Nicaragua, and with the terrorist groups inside the United States associated with remnants of the Weathennan gang, ·the Rev­olutionary Communist Party, and politiCal circles intersecting Chi­cago's 'Chip' BerIet and New York's Dennis King of the U.S.A. marijuana lobby.·'

Next week, EIR will publish an extensive followup of these investigative leads.

From the Editor

The u.S. State Department is h~ralding a new era of "Pacific cooperation," and if you believe Secretary of State George Shultz, all is well in U. S. relations with the nations of Asia. But our Special Report, prepared by a team of researchers under the direction ofUwe Henke v. Parpart, demonstrates how far this is from the truth, and how the current political instability and economic crisis in the Pacific region is the result of the pernicious grip on foreign-policy making of Henry Kissinger and the U. S. liberal Eastern Establishment.

The dossier was compiled by Linda de Hoyos and David Ham­mer, with the help ofEIR correspondents in Bangkok and New Delhi.

The Economics report leads with the continuation of our report on the suppressed reality of the U.S. economic collapse. Next week, EIR will feature a study that explodes the myth of the "crumbling Soviet empire" and shows that the United States, under the impact of the British "free trade" and "free enterprise" policies the American Revolution was fought against, is crumbling a lot faster than the Soviet empire. The industrial collapse ofthe West is the main danger to implementation of the Strategic Defense Initiative, as we shall prove.

Also upcoming: a survey of the economic spinoffs of the SDI, prepared by EIR's economics staff and the Fusion Energy Founda­tion, the scientific organization that has been in the forefront of the beam-weapons defense program for many years; and the report back from EIR' s international conference on the war on drugs on March 13 in Mexico City, featuring Lyndon LaRouche's proposal for a truly "military" approach to wiping out the narcotics trafficking annies, in cooperation with our sovereign neighbors in the Western Hemisphere,

From the Managing Editor

We have curtailed some of our regular news coverage this week, to bring you a detailed report on the developments in Germany, which have been almost universally blacked out of the American media. The insurrection which broke out in Bavaria over the May 17-18 weekend was no mere "civil disturbance," but an act of civil war, steered from Moscow through its agents in the German Com­munist Party and the Greens.

Why are our readers hearing little or nothing about these German developments? Why has President Reagan said nothing, in the face of a Soviet-backed assault against the principal European member of NATO? Look to the policy of George Shultz's State Department, which is promoting a "dialogue" with the very Green fascists who are now storming the barricades and attacking police. Former U.S. Ambassador to Bonn Arthur Bums even thinks the Greens are "charming" (see page 44).

The same species of foreign policy blunder lies behind the explo­sive crisis in South Africa. Two EIR correspondents, Uwe Friesecke and Roger Moore, have recently returned from a visit there, bringing a report on the founding of the new trade union of black moderates, the United Workers Union of South Africa. True to form, the liberal press in the United States has blocked out this historic event. In fact, when we asked the wire photo services for photos of the founding congress, all they could offer were pictures of the opposing SATU union, linked to the Soviet-backed African National Congress, ram­paging and burning trains.

We are proud to present interviews with two distinguished lead­ers of the South African black moderates, M. G. Buthelezi and Dr. Oscar Dhlomo (pages 28-33).

A third exciting interview is that with Helga Zepp-LaRouche (pages 45-49), who describes the efforts of the Patriots for Germany to reverse the crisis in their country. It is noteworthy that the leading candidates of the Patriots in the upcoming elections in Lower Saxony are making the issue of support for Buthelezi's endeavor in South Africa an up-front issue in their own campaigns. They are keenly aware that they are at the front lines of a fight for the future ofWestern civilization as a whole-not just that of Germany, or of Lower Saxony.

From the Editor

In the cover Feature, the world's leading economist, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. directs a sharp reply to the latest Soviet airing of charges that the Pentagon fabricated the AIDS virus. LaRouche's authority is indicated by the fact that 12 years ago, he initiated a study forecasting the outbreak of deadly new pandemics-like AIDS --If International Monetary Fund austerity policies were al­lowed to continue. We have appended part of another LaRouche writing on "AIDS and Africa." See Economics for a report on how the Soviets themselves are in a war-like mobilization against AIDS, as well as an interview with the head of West Germany's police association on how police must be defended against AIDS infection.

In the National report, we direct your attention to another kind of virus: control of Capitol Hill by the "Meyer Lansky" lobby, also known as the AIPAC-controlled Political Action Committees. Fol­lowing LaRouche's urging in last week's issue to "get the ayatollahs out of the Congress," our investigators have dug up the facts and figures that show how the pro-Khomeini, gangster wing of Israeli and U. S. political life has literally bought up the nation's highest legislative body. On page 40, we present a case study of the evil being done to our foreign policy by that control. And on page 59, you will read about how AIPAC's corrupt friends in the U.S. "jus­tice" system have moved to try to silence the LaRouche wing of the U.S. Democratic Party, the only real domestic opposition to AIPAC and the Soviets, on the eve of the September gear-up of the 1988 presidential campaign.

The Soviets, and their Western "Trust" friends, have chosen this moment to "leak" the reality that Moscow today is being run by the old Russian nobility, the people who actually ran the Russian Rev­olution in 1917 to overthrow the Romanovs and save the Russian empire. For the significance of this as we draw closer to the 1988 deadline for the cult prophecy that Moscow will be the 'Third and Final Rome," see the lead articles in our International report on page 32 and 34.

From the Editor

Everyone wants to know what the truth is behind the show-indict­ment of General Manuel Noriega, the commander of the Panamanian Defense Forces, on Feb. 4. Ifyou really are curious, you should read first the new edition of EIR's "White Paper on the Panama crisis," which is advertised on the facing page. To then read the "evidence" submitted by a gaggle of confessed drug-runners, purporting to im­plicate Noriega, is to understand that the indictment is a response to the impact of EIR' s report.

Our investigators into the plot against Panama used the methods pioneered in our earlier book Dope, Inc., showing that the highest control of the international drug trade is precisely the international financial fraternity, which has made no secret of its intent to over­throw Noriega. Less overtly admitted, but easily provable, is that this plot can only have one outcome if it succeeds: to tum over all of Ibero-America to the narco-terrorist armies and their Russian spon­sors. This week's Investigation summarizes some of the material in the 92-page "White Paper," including a short excerpt of LaRouche's testimony in the 1977 hearings on the Canal Treaties, printed in full in the report.

Similarly, the minority report attacking the INF treaty in the Senate (see page 65 for excerpts) draws all of its really forceful arguments almost verbatim, from EIR' s 1985 "Global Showdown" report (without attribution, of course). Late last year, EIR issued an all-new edition of "Global Showdown," subtitled, "The Zero Option and the new Berlin crisis of 1987." Needless to say, the West cannot, afford to wait another three years for the warnings of EIR' s new report to sink in.

Much less can we afford the cowardice (or worse) that prevented the authors of the Senate minority report from admitting the plain fact that Lyndon LaRouche, who commissioned the "Global Show­down" books, was right on the Soviet threat, while everyone else was dead wrong.

That said, I recommend that you begin reading this issue of EIR with LaRouche's recent speech to the historic conference, "Devel­opment Is the New Name for Peace," on Jan. 30, which appears on page 31, to learn for yourself why patriots ofevery nation are increas­ingly looking to this U. S. presidential candidate for leadership in the current crisis.
