In this issue With the world sitting precariously upon an abyss of nuclear confrontation,
driven by the disintegration of the financial system, we have one last oppor-
tunity to return to our senses. This means bringing an awareness of the true
nature of the crisis to the forefront of understanding within the general popu-
lation at large, and policy makers most specifically. This issue of the Cana-
dian Patriot is designed around two segments. The first segment presents the
consequence of failing to comprehend the inherently self-destructive nature
of closed system thinking which is driving western governments into a suici-
dal collision course with those nations which are rejecting such thinking.
This means that it is necessary to understand the role of the British Empire in
organizing Canada’s recent foreign and internal policy measures and striking
upon the remedy in each report.
Our review begins with a top down overview by EIR editors Nancy Span-
naus and Rachel Douglas on the war buildup underway in Russia and the
USA which define the context of the many detonators spread all over the
world which could bring about global confrontation and chaos. The follow-
ing three reports feature Canada’s largely misunderstood role as an instru-
ment in the British Empire’s global arsenal which is now being used actively
to conduct dirty economic warfare as well as promote actual warfare against
those nations such as Russia and China (among others) which are now boldly
resisting the imperial demands for world government and depopulation.
The second half of the Patriot is defined by a focus upon the principle of
creative reason as it manifests itself in mankind’s ever changing relationship
to nature, and how the realization of this fact must forever throw off the
shackles of “closed system thinking”. The re-defined role of human eco-
nomic planning must be based on this creative principle and measured ac-
cording to the standard elaborated by Lyndon LaRouche since the 1960s
known as “increasing energy flux density”. This transition is made with the
report entitled “Mackinder’s Geopolitics vs LaRouche’s Landbridge”.
We then proceed to an investigation of the incompatibility of the principle of
the general welfare and environmentalism which then introduces the article
“Is Quebec Committing Scientific Suicide?” This report by CRC member
Pascal Chevrier elaborates upon Quebec’s foolish decision to shut down its
remaining nuclear reactor Gentilly-2. Juxtaposed with this is a case study of
China’s frontier program to develop advanced fourth generation Thorium
reactors by 2020 written by Karel Vereycken director of France’s Nouvelle
Solidarité newspaper. To this is added a report on Russian and Argentinian
collaboration for large scale development of energy resources, science and
infrastructure.
We end the Patriot with a transcript of the first of Lyndon LaRouche’s
“Friday Project webcasts” that serves to recapitulate the real reasons true
patriots must now take reality seriously and fight for those policies which
will ensure humanity’s successful survival.

By Rachel Douglas and Nancy Spannaus
EIR- Those who choose to ignore the grim war-
nings of Lyndon LaRouche, Chairman of the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, and the
Russian leadership, about the imminent danger of
a thermonuclear confrontation between Russia
and the United States coming from the current
U.S.-NATO regime-change efforts in the Middle
East, need only look at the actual military de-
ployments over the past month to see that danger.
The escalation of outright military moves on both
the U.S. and Russian sides, since the fateful mur-
der of Libyan head of state Muammar Qaddafi, a
little more than a year ago, has put the world on a
pathway to destruction which must be derailed
immediately, if mankind is to survive.
The Sept. 23 Sunday evening prime-time review
of the week's news on Channel One, Russia's big-
gest TV network, provides a useful glimpse of
this reality, from the Russian angle, and reveals
its global implications. The show featured a seven
-minute segment on the looming threat of war,
focused on a threatened Israeli or U.S. attack on
Iran, and included footage and maps of the Per-
sian Gulf. Here are excerpts:
"This week preparations were under way in the
Persian Gulf for the possible use of force. Jud-
ging by the concentration of military equipment,
we may turn out to be just one step away from
war. These exercises are taking place in the Strait
of Hormuz, off the coast of Iran. A record number
of warships, in the region's entire history, has as-
sembled there—from over 30 countries, including
the USA, Britain, and Saudi Arabia. Battleships,
submarines, aircraft carriers, including Nimitz-
class vessels with up to 70 fighter aircraft on
board. The participants in these maneuvers do not
conceal the fact that this show of force is addres-
sed to Iran.... Maneuvers on such a scale have
never before been conducted here.... Muscle-
flexing is in full swing, heated up by bellicose
rhetoric".
At this point, Channel One showed the video clip
of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying that
the United States "must stop Iran" from getting
nuclear weapons, by drawing a "red line." "True,
Washington replied that it will decide for itself
whether to draw any red lines. But Israel is insis-
ting, and hurrying them up," the commentator
said.
After discussing various contingencies, such as
Israel not wanting to start a war without the Uni-
ted States while Obama has electoral considera-
tions, Channel One interviewed Alexei Arbatov
of the IMEMO Center for International Security,
a Russian establishment thinktank run by the
Academy of Sciences, who said:
"The situation is extremely explosive. I would say
that it is the most acute that it has been in the past
20 years."
While noting that leading U.S. military officers
are arguing against getting into a new war, none-
theless, Russian TV said correctly, "Wars can
begin through a provocation."
U.S.-NATO on the Move
The Russian TV description of the Strait of Hor-
muz maneuvers, the International Mine Counter-
measures Exercise which began Sept. 16 and run
through Sept. 27, is accurate. U.S. thinktank spo-
kesmen, as well, have noted the extraordinary
firepower being deployed in this maneuver.
It’s Not Just Words: Russian,
U.S. Militaries in Action

While the minesweeping maneuver deliberately is
not entering the Strait, an extremely crowded bo-
dy of water where accidental encounter with the
Iranians could well occur, that is no guarantee
against such a conflict. An opinion piece by Was-
hington Post senior columnist David Ignatius,
"Lessons from an Iranian war game," underscored
that point. Ignatius was permitted to observe the
game, held in Washington, and including former
top U.S. officials and prominent Iranian-
American experts, and his conclusion, undoubte-
dly shared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was stark:
"The game showed how easy it was for each side
to misread the other's signals."
For one thing, Ignatius puts President Obama,
whom he assumes has been re-elected, directly on
the side of war. But he leaves it to the reader to
fill in the next step: that a U.S. strike on Iran's
nuclear facility, be it conventional or nuclear, will
inevitably bring in Iran's ally and northern neigh-
bor, Russia.
U.S. and allied military deployments are not sim-
ply occurring around Iran, obviously. The move
for regime change in Syria also represents a flash-
point for the Southwest Asia region,
as Russia has repeatedly pointed
out, and Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
(ret.) elaborated in his answer to a
question on the danger of World
War III, in Rep. Walter Jones' press
conference on Sept. 21 (see Featu-
re). Israel itself, which cannot af-
ford to take military action against
Iran without American guarantees
and backup, held surprise maneu-
vers on the border with Syria just
last week.
And then there's the Asia-Pacific
region, where the recent trip by Se-
cretary of Defense Leon Panetta
resulted in an escalation of tensions
with China and Russia, over his
announcement of an agreement with
Japan on stationing another missile
defense station in that nation. Alle-
gedly, such "defense" stations are
aimed at "rogue states," in this case North Korea,
but, as Russian and Chinese commentaries have
pointed out, Japan is in no danger from North
Korea's capability. The only conceivable reason
for such a deployment is to further the encircle-
ment of China, and, as in the case of the encircle-
ment of Russia, render that nation's defenses
against a first strike impotent. It is for that reason
that, in an unsigned Global Times editorial March
29, Beijing warned that "an overarching missile
defense system would force China to change its
long-held nuclear policy" of no first use of nu-
clear weapons.
There are also moves "on the ground" in Asia
that, while they seem to be merely local skirmis-
hes, could prove to be provocations for larger
confrontations in the current superheated interna-
tional climate, specifically, the conflict between
Japan and China over the Diaoyu/Senkaku
Islands.
Now, let's look at the Russian military prepara-
tions to deal with U.S./NATO moves.
Russian media coverage described large-scale naval exercises in the Strait
of Hormuz (shown here), aimed at Iran, as on a scale never before con-
ducted there: “Muscle-flexing is in full swing, heated up by bellicose rheto-
ric,” noted Channel One.

Russia Practices Response to 'External Attack'
Addressing Russian troops on Sept. 17, President
Vladimir Putin spoke as commander-in-chief.
"You have had excellent training and are literate
people," he told them. "You see what is going on
in the world and how, unfortunately, the use of
force in international affairs is increasing. All of
this means that we must keep our powder dry. We
must increase Russia's defense capabilities."
The occasion was the Kavkaz-2012 (Caucasus-
2012) military maneuvers in southern Russia,
which Putin had just observed. In addition to such
statements, the very nature of these and other mi-
litary exercises being held this Autumn, as well
as the President's focus on the defense sector du-
ring current intense federal budget deliberations,
also make clear that the Russian leadership assu-
mes that its country is threatened, and could be
involved in serious combat at any moment.
Meeting on Sept. 21 with Defense Minister Ana-toli Serdyukov and Chief of the Armed Forces General Staff Gen. Nikolai Makarov, to review the just-concluded Kavkaz-2012 program, Putin termed it "a massive undertaking," which produ-ced good results in testing command and control, as well as weapons systems. Serdyukov detailed that four different firing ranges in southern Rus-sia were used, as well as sea and coastal areas on the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Most incisive was General Makarov's characterization of the exercises as having "two very serious challen-ges," one of them explicitly related to the tense situation in the region.
FIGURE 1 U.S./NATO Military Deployments Around Russia and China
There are indications of Russian attention to the global scope of U.S. BMD planning, that is aimed against both Russia
and China, as can be seen in this map.

One part of the scenario involved the potential de-
ployment of the Armed Forces in conflicts within
Russia, while the other was "resolving the problem
of responding to an external attack."
Kavkaz-2012 was preceded, earlier in the month,
by command-staff exercises of the Strategic Missi-
le Forces. Taking place Sept. 4-7, they involved
150 command points and 300 individual weapons
and other military equipment. The official news
agency Itar-TASS reported, based on a press an-
nouncement made Sept. 4 by Ministry of Defense
spokesman Vadim Koval, that the participants
would "hone their nuclear deterrence objectives for
the event of an armed conflict with the participa-
tion of Russia." The term "nuclear deterrence ob-
jectives" refers to the ability of Russia's Strategic
Missile Forces to "deter" a possible U.S. nuclear
first strike against Russia, by their ability to inflict
a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United Sta-
tes.
Koval said that the scenarios involved "nuclear
deterrence in the setting of a threatened armed
conflict with Russia's participation, or during such
a conflict." The purpose of this training, he added,
"is to improve coordination among Strategic Mis-
sile Forces command agencies, as well as the prac-
tical skills of the command staff and operational
groups in directing the military command agen-
cies, units, and troops subordinate to them, inclu-
ding through the use of modern automated com-
mand-and-control systems."
Long-Range Planning
The Russian decision to upgrade the particulars of
these two, related sets of exercises—Kavkaz-2012
and the Strategic Missile Forces training—
evidently followed close on the heels on two
events in late 2011: the murder of Libyan leader
Qaddafi in October; and then-President Dmitri
Medvedev's public announcement in December,
that diplomatic efforts to halt the U.S./NATO uni-
lateral European Ballistic Missile Defense (Euro
BMD) system from going ahead had been unsuc-
cessful, that the Euro BMD was a strategic threat
to Russia, and that it would be countered militari-
ly.
By January 2012, Russian military sources were
making it known that the September 2012 schedule
of military exercises would feature complete, com-
bined-arms integration. In particular, Nezavisi-
maya Gazeta's well-informed military analyst re-
ported Jan. 17 that the Russian General Staff was
mapping out "large-scale staff exercises based on a
possible U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran"; this would
happen in September, and would involve the Stra-
tegic Missile Forces. Furthermore, it was reported
then, the script for Kavkaz-2012 would "differ
from last year's exercises in this series, by being
larger-scale and more closely approximating actual
current military and political conditions," inclu-
ding a scenario of "a possible war by the U.S.A.
and several other countries against Iran, as well as
other possible conflicts in the Caspian and Sou-
thern Caucasus region."
Throughout preparations for Kavkaz-2012, Rus-
sian defense sources described these exercises as
"strategic." Russian and Georgian press reported
that Russia had shifted the physical location of the
training out of the Chechen Republic, in order to
avoid giving Georgia's President Michael Saakash-
vili a pretext for any wild actions. On Sept. 5, RIA
Novosti reported the announcement by another
Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman, Alexan-
der Kucherenko, that Russian airborne forces
would be involved in 10 different exercises during
the month, including Kavkaz-2012, and internatio-
nal maneuvers with Belarus and with the Collecti-
ve Security Treaty Organization. Contrary to popular belief, Russian military capabilities are not to
be likened to a “rust-bucket”

Countering Euro BMD
In an interview with Russia Today television,
broadcast Sept. 6, Putin addressed an array of
strategic matters, including the situation in Syria
and in Southwest Asia as a whole. A recurring
polemic in the interview was that people pushing
various scenarios in crisis areas are hell-bent on
their short-term schemes, "and hardly ever think
of the consequences that will follow."
On strategic military relations, Putin said that the
U.S. missile defense system now being deployed,
particularly in Europe, "is surely one of the key
issues on today's agenda, because it involves Rus-
sia's vital interests." He forcefully presented the
Russian understanding that the Euro BMD syste-
m's "ambition is to upset the strategic balance,
which is a very dangerous thing to do, as any par-
ty involved will always strive to maintain its de-
fensive capabilities, and the entire thing could
simply trigger an arms race." As for negotiations
on alternatives to the unilateral U.S./NATO Euro
BMD system, Putin said: "We did what we
could," citing the Russian offers of a joint
missile defense program. "Our partners
are so far refusing to go along. What else
can we do?"
Russia unquestionably is doing a number
of things in response, militarily. Strategic
Missile Forces chief Gen. Sergey Kara-
kayev, who commanded the early-
September command-staff exercises, told
RIA Novosti on Sept. 3 that Russia will
have a new intercontinental ballistic missi-
le deployed by 2018, which is capable of
penetrating the Euro BMD system. "It is
necessary to note the new missiles' ability
to be invulnerable before launch, thanks to
their mobility, as well as their ability to
tackle the task of defeating any possible
missile defense system within the next 15-
20 years, should such a need arise," Gene-
ral Karakayev stated. An article on the
Russia Today website noted that Kara-
kayev's comments show that Russia "is
preparing an asymmetrical response by
developing weapons capable of breaching
the system."
There are also official and unofficial indications
of Russian attention to the global scope of U.S.
BMD planning, as being aimed against both Rus-
sia and China (while it is claimed that this is gea-
red to Iran and North Korea).
Now, the Arctic
The issue of Asian, and even possible Arctic
BMD deployments, came up in the Russian me-
dia, too, in connection with a naval deployment
that jumped into the news Sept. 20, when a heli-
copter based on the nuclear-powered cruiser
Pyotr Veliky, the flagship of the Northern Fleet,
was totalled in a hard landing. What put the acci-
dent in the headlines was where it happened: in
the Kara Sea along Russia's Arctic Coast, near
Kotelny Island in the Novosibirsk Archipelago.
The incident touched off intense public discus-
sion, during which one retired military officer
drew out the world-war implications of U.S. ship-
based anti-missile deployments to Russia's north.

In the past, large surface ships have ventured into
this region only if accompanied by an icebreaker,
but lower Arctic ice levels have allowed the Nor-
thern Sea Route to be used more freely. For deca-
des, surface ships of the Northern Fleet have left
Murmansk only to the west, into the Atlantic, ne-
ver sailing eastward along the Arctic coast. Accor-
ding to an article by Victor Savenkov for Svpres-
sa.ru, the last time a large battleship was in the
Kara Sea region was August 1942, when a Ger-
man heavy cruiser sank the Soviet icebreaker
Alexander Sibiryakov.
Svpressa.ru interviewed Russian naval experts on
what the Pyotr Veliky's mission might be in the
Kara Sea, given that it is not an antisubmarine
warfare platform, and the type of surface ships it
would potentially engage do not frequent the Arc-
tic coast. Adm. Valentin Selivanov (ret.), former
commander of Russia's Mediterranean Squadron,
said that, besides taking advantage of the weather
to reach relatively nearby training areas that were
not previously so accessible, a major factor was
"to demonstrate that we are prepared to defend
our interests in the Arctic militarily."
Col. Anatoli Tsyganok, director of the Center for Military Forecasting, told Svpressa.ru that another reason might be the deployment of U.S. Aegis-equipped ships in the Arctic, which would position them within striking distance of "the shortest tra-jectories of our ICBMs to the USA." The Aegis radar/anti-missile system is the main component of the U.S. Euro BMD program, which Moscow identifies as a threat to its strategic nuclear deter-rent. "It is not to be excluded," said Tsyganok, that the Pyotr Veliky's cruise is related to such concerns.
FIGURE 2 Ring Around Russia: Threats to a Great Power That Won’t Back Down
President Putin told a conference on Strategic Nuclear that “nuclear arms remain a truly important guarantee
of Russia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and play a key role in supporting global and regional equilib-
rium and stability
10
"The Americans are developing their
BMD system in the north, just as in the
south. Aegis-equipped ships regularly en-
ter the Bering Strait," he asserted.
"This is a threat to our security. Because
it's one thing if BMD-equipped vessels
appear along our southern borders and in
the Mediterranean, but in the event of war,
Russian missiles will fly to the USA
across the North Pole. So it's another mat-
ter altogether, when such ships show up to
the north of our country, and seek the abi-
lity to shoot down our missiles in the most
vulnerable, boost phrase."
Prioritizing Military Industry
In July, Putin held meetings at his Sum-
mer residence in Sochi, and took tours to
key military areas, for discussions on put-
ting the Russian military-industrial com-
plex into shape. On July 26, he met with officers
and officials in charge of Russia's Strategic Nu-
clear Forces and Aerospace Defense Troops. De-
puty Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin, Minister of
Industry Denis Manturov, Roscosmos head Gen.
Vladimir Popovkin (ret.), and the director of the
nuclear agency Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, were
in attendance, along with Ministry of Defense re-
presentatives. The Kremlin's announcement called
it a "Meeting on Implementation of the State Ar-
maments Program for Nuclear Deterrence," a refe-
rence to the thermonuclear weapons that would be
fired at the United States and its allies in the event
of an attack on Russia.
Earlier, Putin held conferences on implementing
the government's Ground Forces and Air Force
programs. The session on the Strategic Nuclear
Forces was highlighted on national TV, including
Putin's statement that "nuclear arms ... remain a
truly important guarantee of Russia's sovereignty
and territorial integrity, and play a key role in sup-
porting global and regional equilibrium and stabi-
lity." Citing the need for the aerospace defense
system to be "in a constant state of combat readi-
ness, taking into account potential enemies' plans
for developing offensive measures," Putin noted
that "nearly all the nations that possess nuclear
weapons and aerospace assault weapons are wor-
king to improve and develop them.
Russia, he said, has no plans to engage in an arms
race, "but there should be no doubt as to the relia-
bility and efficacy of our nuclear potential, as well
as our aerospace defence system." He said that "a
significant part of financial resources within the
state armament program" will be allocated to up-
grading the Strategic Nuclear and Aerospace De-
fense Forces.
"By 2020 the share of modern weapons in our
Strategic Nuclear Forces should be at 75-80%, and
for Aerospace Defence Troops this figure should
be no less than 70%."
On July 30, Putin traveled to the northern city of Severodvinsk in the Arkhangelsk Region, to speak at a ceremony marking the beginning of construc-tion of Russia's fourth Borey-class nuclear ballistic-missile submarine, and to preside over a meeting on the future Navy construction program. In his remarks, Putin mentioned both the naval compo-nent of Russia's strategic nuclear forces, and the rebuilding of other components of the Navy to defend areas such as the Arctic.
Russian President Putin, addressing troops Sept. 17, on the occa-
sion of the Kazkav-2012 military exercises, noted somberly, “You
see what is going on in the world and how, unfortunately, the use
of force in international affairs is increasing. . . . We must increase
Russia’s defense capabilities.” Putin is shown here (center), ob-
serving the exercises.
11
The program calls for investing about 4.5 trillion ru-
bles (nearly $150 billion) over the next several years,
for the construction of 51 modern surface warships,
16 nuclear attack submarines, and 8 nuclear ballistic
missile submarines by 2020 (2 of which are now un-
dergoing trials). This will allow the share of modern
vessels and equipment in the Navy to be brought to
70% by 2020, Putin said. "Resuming the serial cons-
truction of new-generation ships," he added, "should
go hand-in-hand with modernizing shipbuilding en-
terprises and other defense industry companies."
After these sessions devoted to each of the branches
of the Russian Armed Forces, Putin on Aug. 31 held
a pair of conferences on the strategic dimensions of
economic policy. With Russian government and State
Duma deliberations set to resume in September on
the 2013 budget, under enormous monetarist pressu-
res for budget-cutting because of the world economic
crisis, Putin focused on the absolute priority of resto-
ring Russia's military-industrial sector. Thus, these
sessions on military-economic policy also served to
underscore the tense international military-strategic
situation.
Addressing an expanded session of the Russian Secu-
rity Council, Putin presented the military moderniza-
tion plans as "ambitious," and cited the "record
amounts of money" to be invested in defense procu-
rement and modernization: 23 trillion rubles ($750
billion) over ten years. He acknowledged that "many
of our companies are still in the past century, techno-
logically speaking," and that in the course of more
than three decades, the defense production plants
"have missed out on several modernization cycles."
Later in the day, Putin met with Deputy Prime Minis-
ter Rogozin and Roscosmos head Popovkin to dis-
cuss personnel changes to address the recent rocket-
launch failures.
At the Security Council meeting, Putin also emphasi-
zed the idea, often stated by Rogozin, that the milita-
ry-industrial sector should function as a locomotive
to pull the whole economy along—or, at the very
least, serve as a safe haven, where engineering and
other skilled personnel might be preserved, even as
domestic industry as a whole comes under new pres-
sures such as competition from foreign imports, now
that Russia has joined the WTO, and budget cuts in
the so-called "state order" (government contracts).
Regarding this potential interface between the defen-
se industry and the economy as a whole, the problem
that bedeviled Soviet planners throughout the Cold
War, Putin said:
"Our position is that by creating a modernized and
effective defense industry we can ensure a big
growth potential for the entire national economy. The
bulk of our advanced technology is in the defense
industry, and civilian goods account for more than
30% of the sector's total output. There is steady de-
mand for these goods in the energy, metals, machine-
building, communications, and other industries. This
is not some discovery we have made in this country,
but is the way things work all around the world. The
defense industry has always been an engine pulling
the other manufacturing sectors along behind it. Of
course, a stable and effective defense industry is also
crucial for the prosperity and prospects in life for
thousands of skilled workers, engineers, and desi-
gners. The defense industry brings together 1,353
organizations and companies in 64 regions of the
country, and employs more than 2 million people.
Just think how many that makes if you add their fa-
milies and the people working in related sectors and
so on."
Summarizing, Putin made a startling comparison
with the period of the Soviet Union's first Five-Year
Plans: "In short, we will have to modernize the entire
defense industry and the way it works, and carry out
the same kind of comprehensive and powerful mo-
dernization drive that was achieved in the 1930s."
The implications were not drawn out in this presenta-
tion, but such a "mobilization economy" is very dif-
ferent from the nostrums about privatization and
"improving the investment climate," which are other-
wise being repeated constantly by Russian officials,
including Putin.
Putin said Russia should not hesitate to imitate fo-
reign defense technologies, but having only assembly
plants using imported components would be a "dead
end," so Russia
"should develop complete production cycles, from development through to mass production and spare parts supply, here in Russia. This is the guarantee of our national, technological, and defense security."

By Matthew Ehret-Kump
With the recent announcement by UK and Canadian
foreign ministers that many of the embassies of both
countries shall be melded into single missions, Ca-
nadian-based British agent and media mogul Conrad
Black, unable to control his enthusiasm, has voiced a
revealing op-ed in the right-wing mouthpiece The
National Post. The title of the op-ed reads: "The
British Commonwealth Will Rise Again". After re-
writing history by making FDR appear to be an im-
perialist, and asserting that China's “new imperial-
ism” is meeting resistance with all of its neighbors,
and predicting the breakup of Europe into two teams
(winner and loser countries), Black writes:
"There will be regional powers like Brazil and Tur-
key, but the only other coherent force that could
arise and occupy a role somewhat analogous to a
great power of old would be some cohesive bloc of
Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, India, New
Zealand, Singapore and perhaps a few other Com-
monwealth countries. The talented Australian for-
eign minister, Bob Carr, is capable of advancing
along these lines, and Stephen Harper and John
Baird would do well to explore these possibilities
also".
It is worthwhile to note that while born in Montreal,
Conrad Black is not a Canadian citizen, but rather
100% British. Having received dual citizenship in
Canada and UK in 2002 when the Queen of England
granted him peerage in the British House of Lords as
a reward for his outstanding services to the interests
of the British Empire. Black was confronted with an
ultimatum by then Prime Minister Jean Chrétien
who had intervened with a citation of a 1919 resolu-
tion barring Canadians from being members of the
House of Lords. After a short legal battle which
Black lost, Black renounced his Canadian citizen-
ship becoming Lord Black of Crossharbour.
Since his release from U.S. federal prison in May
2012 after serving 36 months of a 48 month sen-
tence for fraud and obstruction of justice, an unre-
pentant Black has found himself rising again to
prominence within the
Canadian establishment
quicker than one could
say "Hail Britannia".
Having been granted an
unprecedented temporary
resident permit from the
Minister of Immigration,
Jason Kenney, who is
part of the Harper conser-
vative apparatus installed
largely through the direc-
tion of the Canadian neo-
con Sun Media that had
been run by Black as part
of his Hollinger media
empire (1). Black has also
been granted the use of
all of his former Hollin-
ger-Sun-Times media
outlets to continue to
mould public opinion
among Canada’s “right
wing” in line with his
master’s interests.
The context of Black’s
fall from power
It appears that Conrad Black’s fall from power in 2006 occurred in the context of a faction fight that had broken out within the Canadian establishment between the Liberal Party faction on the one side and Conservative Party faction on the other.
Lord Conrad Black Declares:
“The British Commonwealth Will Rise Again”
Lord Black cannot con-
tain his exhuberance upon
smelling the re-emergence
of the New British Empire.

Where the Liberal establishment was more inter-
ested in maintaining its local interests and local
control outside of British foreign policy inten-
tions, (witnessed by the Chrétien government’s
decision to not participate in the Iraq war of 2002
and Paul Martin’s 1998 successful blocking of
the attempted mergers of four of Canada’s five
largest banks(1)), the Mulroney-Harper anglophile
interests in the Conservative Party had been much
more intent to do the obedient bidding of the City
of London and British Foreign Office. This fac-
tion fight led up to a collapse of the Liberal lead-
ership of Paul Martin, and purging of relevant
Liberal Party controllers from power with the
“Sponsorship scandal” of 2005-06. By 2012, the
federal presence of the Liberal Party has become
almost non-existent, having been hammered by
the 2011 elections that brought Harper’s Conser-
vatives their majority.
The Fall of the Liberals
The Liberal slaughter continues on the provincial
level, witnessed by the loss of one of its last
beachheads with the Quebec election of Septem-
ber 2012 that brought Pauline Marois’ separatist
Parti Quebecois (PQ) to power. The PQ is infa-
mous for their intention to separate from Canada,
their anti-nuclear stance, and cap and trade pol-
icy. Of the two remaining provincial Liberal
power-holds left, British Columbia has found
Liberal support at an all-time low due largely to
the failed HST debacle in 2011. The Liberals un-
der current BC Premier Christy Clark are prepar-
ing to be swept away in favour of the New De-
mocratic Party (NDP) during the upcoming elec-
tions in May 2013. The challenging NDP of Brit-
ish Columbia, just like the PQ of Quebec is in
favour of those resource grabbing policies which
are expedient to the British Empire’s geopolitical
interests (echoing the free market logic of the “fur
trade”), yet push the green agenda of ‘renewable”
energies (except nuclear), and cap and trade. It is
indicative to note that NDP leader Thomas Mul-
cair has just been made a Privy Councillor to the
Queen on September 18 2012, possibly in prepa-
ration to replace the Harper regime in 2014.
During this past year Stephen Harper (Privy
Councillor since 2005) has stepped up the use of
the broad power granted to him via his party’s
majority government, to push through every Brit-
ish policy demanded of him in short order, re-
branding the Canadian military with the term
“Royal”, melding many Canadian and British
embassies around the world, converting Canada
into an official fist of the Monarchy in the execu-
tion of wars with Libya, promoting wars with
Iran and Syria, and falsely accusing Russia of
trying to steal Canada’s arctic sovereignty.
Canada’s role as a chess piece in this “Great
Game” involves returning Canada to its roots as
an aggressive weapon in the Empire’s arsenal, not
seen since the days of the Boer Wars. This colo-
nial function demands Canada act as a subversive
agency to the intentions of nations aspiring sover-
eign development. The accomplishment of this
task involves 1) serving as canon fodder for im-
perial wars abroad, and 2) trapping unwitting na-
tions into reliance upon its abundant cheap re-
sources via the logic of the “fur trade” aka “free
trade”. The question now worth asking is: will
China and India fall prey to the seductive fly trap
of Canada’s natural gas and resources in the con-
text of Lord Black’s nightmarish vision? Or will
they tighten their bonds of survival with Russia
and help usher in a new age of development and
peace?
A third question arises: In the context of an alli-
ance for progress and peace among nations, will
Canada finally throw off the yoke of our imperial
traditions and become a mature republic once and
for all?
(1) On December 14, 1998, then Finance Minster Paul Martin
rejected the major bank mergers of Royal Bank of Canada
with the Bank of Montreal, and CIBC with Toronto Domin-
ion, citing “too much concentration of economic power in
Canada in the hands of too few financial institutions.” Neither
Martin’s role in Canadian policy, nor the Chretien govern-
ment he then operated under should be assumed to be a force
for good. The sense of self-interest, and nationalist tendency
within the party’s elders (while pragmatic more than princi-
pled) should not be missed when evaluating the anomalies
which mark the changes in behaviour of Canadian policy.

By Matthew Ehret-Kump
While Canadian foreign policy has always fol-
lowed the British lead, there have been brief in-
stances of resistance. The cases of the 1970s
sanctions of apartheid South Africa and Canada’s
non-participation in the precursor of the British
Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Iraq War in 2002
spring immediately to mind. However, under
Prime Minister Stephen Harper who took power
in 2006 and now leads a majority government
with those near unchallenged powers enjoyed
with such majorities, the unquestioned obedience
to British endgame geopolitics has never been so
strong.
Though Canada’s cooperation in the defence and
cultivation of the heroin production of Afghani-
stan’s Helmand province had already been under-
way from the beginning of the Afghan war, this
overt military policy became significantly more
aggressive with the Arab Spring in 2011. It was at
this time that Canada committed its military to
provide 10% of the air support and logistics dur-
ing the regime change program that illegally
killed Muamar Qaddafi under the umbrella of
NATO. In hindsight, it was discovered that the
greatest atrocities of this war were not to have
been committed by the disposed head of state, but
rather, by those moralizing forces who conducted
the “humanitarian intervention”, armed radical
Islamists and killed 70 000 innocent Libyan civil-
ians. The official legal precedent for this war was
the anti-nation state doctrine of R2P.
This program was continued with expelling Syr-
ian diplomats and shutting down the Syrian em-
bassy in March 2012, merely weeks after the An-
nan Peace Plan was begun (and later sabotaged),
to the effect that all illusions of Canadian peace-
making and diplomacy was exposed as an illu-
sion. Before Canada, the only nation to shut down
Syrian diplomatic missions was the UK. This ag-
gressive policy was repeated with Canada’s shut-
down of the Iranian embassy in early September
2012 modelled again after the British precedent.
Since Canada’s actions so obediently followed
British geopolitical doctrine from 2006-2012, an
overt branding as British property has been called
for.
The rebranding of Canada
In April 2011, the British makeover officially
began with the renaming of the Canadian mili-
tary. This policy saw Harper pass a law which re-
inserted the “Royal” into all branches of the Ca-
nadian military. Controversy briefly erupted as
Constitutional lawyers and defence specialists
pointed out that Section 15 of the British North
America Act of 1867 states that the command of
the Canadian military is not vested in Parliament,
but rather in the Crown. This mandate was re-
affirmed with Section 14 of the National Defence
Act of 1985 with the words: “The Canadian
Forces are the armed forces of Her Majesty
raised by Canada and consist of one Service
called the Canadian Armed Forces.” University
of Ottawa defence specialist Philippe Lagassé
argued during this time that while the military is
answerable to the Parliament, it is accountable
and obedient only to Ministers of the Crown. Any
lingering denial of this control of the Canadian
military by Ministers of the Crown was highly
shaken.
Embassies Unite:
The British Consolidate their Property
Up until recently, Harper’s rabid anglophilia was consid-
ered little more than a bizarre fetish for onlookers, but has
now blossomed into a global security threat.
15
This was followed immediately by Harper’s renam-
ing the main wall in the Canadian Foreign Office
Headquarters the “Sovereign Wall”, deriving its
name from the gigantic mural sized portrait of
Queen Elisabeth. Not only was this unsightly por-
trait forced into public display in one Ottawa build-
ing, but an accompanying order was passed forcing
portraits of the Queen to be mounted upon the walls
of every Canadian embassy in the world. While
many onlookers watched in bewilderment, the fa-
natic anglophile could still be heard shouting “but
the Monarchy is only a symbol! The British Empire
carries no real power!”
Embassies Unite
As of September 23 2012, many Canadian embas-
sies the world over will no longer simply have Ca-
nadian flags hanging from their flag poles, but
rather the Canadian ambassadors and their respec-
tive staff within and the Canadian Maple Leaf flag
without will now be joined with British ambassa-
dors and the Union Jack. Ministers of Foreign Af-
fairs of the UK and Canada (John Baird and Wil-
liam Hague) have officially announced the melding
of the embassies of
both nations! Ostensi-
bly, this measure is
being undertaken to
save money, but the
true motive for such
overt consolidation of
the British Empire’s
possessions can only
be addressed if one lets
go of all popular illu-
sions regarding the true
workings of the shadow empire maintained by the
London-centered oligarchy. This process is made
the more dangerous as the Empire is not unaware of
the demise of its own monetary system.
In the context of the collapse of the British con-
trolled world monetary system, these policies are
intended to do nothing less then set fire to the entire
African and Middle Eastern worlds, by fuelling
what Samuel P Huntington dubbed the “Clash of
Civilizations” doctrine, to the point of risking ther-
monuclear warfare with Russia and China.
Stephen Harper and Thomas
Mulcair: Agents of the British
Empire.
For those who still believe that the Privy Council of
Canada is merely a relic of old traditions long dead exer-
cising no more control than the Queen, they would do
well to reconsider that view as it is not the people, or
parliament who hold the allegiance of those who are
introduced into its roster, but rather the Queen of Eng-
land.
“I, [name], do solemnly and sincerely swear that I shall
be a true and faithful servant to Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth the Second, as a member of Her Majesty's
Privy Council for Canada. I will in all things to be
treated, debated and resolved in Privy Council, faith-
fully, honestly and truly declare my mind and my opin-
ion. I shall keep secret all matters committed and re-
vealed to me in this capacity, or that shall be secretly
treated of in Council. Generally, in all things I shall do
as a faithful and true servant ought to do for Her Maj-
esty.”
That both Stephen Harper, as well as NDP leader Tho-
mas Mulcair have taken this oath of allegiance and se-
crecy should send alarm bells in the minds of any think-
ing citizen. This also means that these illustrious men
have joined the ranks with such national disasters and
foreign agents of influence as Maurice Strong, Paul Des-
marais of Power Corporation, Lord Conrad Black,
Prince Phillip of Edinburg, and the current head of the
powerful Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE)
John Manley.
Being a member of this select group does not immedi-
ately prove an individual is engaged in treason anymore
than someone’s participation in a Bilderberger meeting
or freemasonic society. It does however speak volumes
if the person in question is actively carrying out the in-
tentions of a financial oligarchy which has explicitly
stated their intention to reduce the world population
from the current 7 billion to less than one (see
“Environmentalism and the General Welfare Make Poor
Bedfellows on page 21).

nounce joint embas-
sies in Ottawa.

In 2007, headlines across Canada echoed the spirit
of the Cold war, as Canadian Defense Minister
Peter Mackay screamed that Canada’s arctic sov-
ereignty was threatened and that a greedy resource
grab of valuable Canadian territory had occurred.
Stephen Harper immediately announced plans to
purchase three arctic patrol ships, (later confirm-
ing three unmanned drones) to defend Canada’s
“true north strong and free”. The Russian
‘aggressors’ had to be put in their place. What had
provoked this unbalanced response from a Canada
that had demonstrated no active interest in the
Arctic or its development for decades? As it
turned out, a Russian submarine had placed a Rus-
sian flag near the North Pole along a disputed ter-
ritory known as the Lomonosov Ridge. As facts
would later reveal, the Russian submarine was on
nothing more than a scientific study.
While large components of the abrupt militariza-
tion of the Arctic announced by Harper in 2007,
were put on hold due to the economic crisis that
spiked in 2009, it had not at all disappeared, as we
now find the seeds of this orchestrated tension
springing up yet again. This is evidenced by the
October 5th announcement of the Canadian Geo-
logical Survey and Natural Resources Canada that
1.75 million square kilometres of seabed in the
Arctic and North Atlantic oceans are definitively
the sole property of Canada. These claims are the
substance of a multi-thousand page submission of
25 studies submitted in October to the United Na-
tions Convention on the Law of the Sea
(UNCLOS) which had adopted “a new formula”
for determining national coastal boundaries in
2003. Nations had been given 10 years to conduct
studies and submit claims for expanded territory
beyond the current 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) off
coastal land. If these claims are approved, then
Canada’s current area of 9.9 million square kilo-
metres will increase by 20% (or the size of Que-
bec). Two of the most important territorial claims
involve the Alpha Ridge mountain extending past
the North Pole, and the other is the Lomonosov
Ridge.
The Seeds of World War Begin to
Grow
Today, as tense hotspots have been built up in
Syria and Iran, which could easily unfold into a
nuclear showdown between Russia and China
pitted against NATO countries, a less understood
component to the orchestration of general war
exists in the domain of territorial conflicts around
the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.
This strategy cannot be understood unless the reader comprehend that the only opposition to a new British Empire (one world government) is to be found in the coalition of Russia, China and Argentina.
The “New Canada” Imperial Arctic Makeover:
Will Increased Canadian Arctic Territory be used to Provoke War with Russia? By Matthew Ehret-Kump
17
These three nations have made their full national
policy commitments center on the right to national
sovereignty, international cooperation, technologi-
cal progress, and have committed to effective war
avoidance measures ever since the assassination of
Libya’s President Gaddafi. Nations of the “non-
aligned” movement representing over two thirds
of the world population have rallied strongly
around these three pillars.
In the Pacific Ocean, Japan’s brash nationalization
of the five uninhabited islets (known by Japan as
“Senkaku” and by China as “Diaoyu”) has re-
sulted in an international crisis pitting China
against Japan. China faces the danger of another
territorial conflict sparked by the the President of
the Philippines who decided late in 2011 that the
South China Sea should be re-named the “East
Philippines Sea”. What most media reports leave
out when discussing these hot spots, is that both
the Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, as
well as the Japan President Noda, have both
agreed recently to host U.S. military bases as part
of the new Air-Sea battle plan designed around the
containment of China and documented in La-
RouchePAC’s recent feature film Unsurvivable
(1). This military strategy has seen two U.S Ohio
class submarines deployed to the Pacific theatre,
each packing Trident nuclear warheads.
Other more official British colonies such as Aus-
tralia are being used to contain China within the
new “Air-Sea Battle Plan”, as Australian PM Julia
Gillard has agreed to host two US military bases
on its territory which Chinese military officials
have identified as representing direct strategic
threats. Due to the new UNCLOS measures, Aus-
tralia has recently expanded its undersea territory
by 2.5 million square kilometres (or 1/3 its total
land area) in 2008.
As small minded (often unwitting) pawns of the
British Empire do the Matriarch’s dirty work on
the Pacific theatre, the British military has sprung
into aggressive direct action in the Atlantic as a
response to Argentina’s recent re-affirmation that
the Malvinas Islands are (and have always been) a
part of Argentina. Indeed, the Islands were in fact
stolen by the British Empire during the early 1833
war with Argentina, and have been maintained as
a British colony ever since. The British response
to Argentina’s claim has been to 1) reject all Ar-
gentine offers of dialogue and 2) deploy a De-
stroyer battleship and one of its four HMS Van-
guard nuclear armed submarines to the coast of the
Malvinas (which they continue to call the
“Falkland’s”). The irony in this instance is that
Britain’s basis for its military deployment is cen-
tered on its accusation that Argentina is acting like
a “colonialist”. This absurd accusation persists,
despite Argentine President Christina Kirchner’s
insistence of the fact that Britain’s continued
claim of the Falkland’s remains illegitimate ac-
cording to the UN Special Committee on Decolo-
nization.
The Consequences of Ignoring
Reality
One year after Russia was scorned by Peter Mac-
kay and Harper for
trying to “steal Can-
ada’s arctic sover-
eignty”, Russia had
found itself the sub-
ject of an attack by
Soros’ Georgian pup-
pet president Mikheil
Saakashvili in 2008.
Saakashvili’s attack
on Russia’s protector-
ate in South Ossetia
resulted in a brief war that ended five days after
having begun. Saakashvili attempted to illegally
claim South Ossetia as Georgian territory. At that
time, Georgia was not a part of NATO, and had it
been, all relevant NATO members would have
been drawn into that conflict in Georgia’s defence.
Today, Saakashvili has been replaced by yet an-
other billionaire puppet that has made Georgia’s
admission to NATO a primary objective.
With literally dozens of explosive powder kegs
placed all around the world which couldn’t exist
as detonators for war were it not for the belief in
resource ‘scarcity’ and monetary rules to which
our behaviour and thoughts must conform, the
world is sitting on the edge of a self-imposed ex-
tinction.

By Jonathon Ludwig
American economist Lyndon LaRouche’s propos-
als for a Eurasian Landbridge and Russia’s current
proposal for the Bering Strait Rail Tunnel connec-
tion from Vladivostok through 100 km of water to
Alaska and into Canada are not new. These vision-
ary proposals are a long time in the making and
have represented a tormenting nightmare to sev-
eral generations of imperial geopoliticians.
By the turn of the 20th century, Russian Transport
Minister Count Sergei Witte working in tandem
with American System leaders and engineers in
Siberia were completing the final stretch of the
Trans-Siberian Railway. This development fol-
lowed 1) hot on the heels of Lincoln’s victorious
suppression, with the help of Russia’s Czar Alex-
ander II, of the British financed Confederate upris-
ing in 1865, 2) the 1867 United States purchase of
Alaska from Russia, and 3) the near annexation of
British Columbia into America in 1870 (1). The
feasibility studies to connect the two continents
were first presented by the Trans-Siberian Railway
Company in 1905 (2). The British Empire at the
time was known as “the old man of Europe” and
in all intents and purposes was on the verge of
extinction.
Mackinder’s geopolitics demands a closed
system
In 1904, as a
response to these
developments,
British Fabian
Society member
and director of
the London
School of Eco-
nomics Sir Hal-
ford Mackinder,
formulated a
s c h o o l o f
thought known
as Geopolitics.
This study has
influenced all
imperial strate-
g i s t s w h o
emerged from
the 20th century
from Rhodes
scholar William
Yandell Elliot, his Harvard students ‘Sir’ Henry
Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Bernard Lewis as
well as Samuel P. Huntington to name a few. It
was also the foundation for the Heartland theory
extolled by Nazi geopolitician Karl Haushofer and
adopted by Hitler.
Mackinder’s program was little more than a refor-
mulated “divide to conquer” policy already prac-
ticed for centuries by the British Empire, and
arose entirely as a response which the threat Lin-
coln’s American System program of rail develop-
ment posed to the continued existence of the fail-
ing British Empire as mentioned above.
Mackinder’s Geopolitics versus LaRouche’s World Landbridge
(1) Were it not for Britain’s offer to bribe BC merchants during a
heated period of 1867-1870, all onlookers from Canada and the USA
alike believed that this British colony was nearly about to incorporate
into America, as this provided the only economically viable options
available for the bankrupt colony. The Transcontinental railway had
just been built into San Francisco and an active ferry system connected
the BC merchants to the USA. The British had to move fast and did so
by 1) paying off British Columbia’s massive debt, and 2) then purchas-
ing the massive territory separating its eastern and western colonies
also known as Rupert’s Land and owned by the Hudson’s Bay Com-
pany in 1868 and 3) finally promising to build a railway connecting
BC to Eastern Canada which was accomplished in 1885. The only
condition was that British Columbia join the Confederation and not
choose the American option.
(2) Funds totalling six million dollars were raised privately,
concluding the project could be done for $300 million. An
editorial in the New York Times of October 24th, 1905, ob-
served that “the Bering Strait Tunnel is a project which at
some time in the future is likely to command a great deal of
very purposeful consideration.”
Sir Halford Mackinder summarized
his theory: “Who rules East Europe
commands the Heartland; Who rules
the Heartland commands the World
Island; Who rules the World Island
commands the World."
19
Not only did rail pose a threat to the Empire, but the
advent of the new energy dense fuel source known
as petroleum was threatening to replace the largely
monopolized (and less energy dense) coal for indus-
trial production.
From Japan’s Meiji Restoration, to Chancellor von
Bismarck’s “Berlin to Baghdad Rail” initiative, to
R u s s i a ’ s T r a n s -
Siberian Railway, inter
-continental develop-
ment driven by Ameri-
can System rail pro-
grams were initiating
new dynamics of coop-
eration and develop-
ment amongst all na-
tions of North Amer-
ica, Europe, Russia and
Asia. Most impor-
tantly, these pro-
deve lopment ap -
proaches to national
e c o n o mi e s w e r e
founded on the con-
certed rejection of all
British Free Trade
dogma and the vigor-
ous adoption of the
protective tariff, pro-
ductive credit and long
term planning, all act-
ing under the principle
of the general welfare.
To their horror, the British Empire was witnessing a
worldwide emergence of the American System.
After successful expeditions to the South and North
Pole had been accomplished by 1909, Mackinder
declared, like Malthus before him that all that could
be discovered on the Earth had been discovered, and
that human society was now officially locked within
an absolutely closed system. All that remained was
for leading monopolies to map out finite resources,
and get victim nations to slaughter each other in
territorial disputes that would necessarily occur as
the outcome of each striving to possess as many of
these “finite resources’ as possible before they ran
out. This would be achieved by getting nations to
look at the future not from the American System
standpoint of their creative potentials to change
those limits for the better, but rather from the mone-
tarist free market filter of pleasure-pain and momen-
tary profit. Were the bestial dynamic of each against
all not adopted, all hope for world domination
would be lost.
Mackinder’s theory was expressed most clearly in
his observation: "Who rules East Europe commands
the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands
the World Island; Who rules the World Island com-
mands the World."
Reality is an Open System
In the logic of empire, nations must be kept fighting
each other in a closed system of absolute scarcity.
Rather than creatively moving outside of those lim-
its by discovering new principles of the universe,
and creating new energy sources such as nuclear
fission, thermonuclear fusion power, or desalinating
ocean water to green deserts, nations have been
told, rather arbitrarily, that ‘scarcity’ has to be re-
spected and, like beasts, adapted to in a survival of
the fittest paradigm.
Lincoln admirer von Bismarck
was among the many world
statesmen importing the Ameri-
can System by the end of the
19th century. His ouster would
lead to the unleashing of World
Wars 1 and 2. See the film 1932
for the full story.

Empire’s orchestration of World War one, then check out:

This logic has been used to manipulate idiots with
political power into initiating almost every single
un-necessary war during this past century, and
governs the geopolitical thinking that is resulting
in potential territorial conflict the world over to-
day.
According the BP Statistical Review of World
Energy 2011, this past year has witnessed the
greatest drop of nuclear energy use on record
(with a 4.3% fall) while coal has become the
world’s fastest growing fuel (totalling 30.3% of
global use). While “green energies” such as wind
and solar power have risen by 25.8% and 86.6%
respectively, their combined total contribution to
global energy consumption is a measly 2.1%.
The energy required to produce “renewable” en-
ergies far outweigh their output while the wasted
land area required to sustain them is not only bad
economics, but it is more importantly, the sickly
effects of a community of nations turning their
backs on 600 years of progress and embracing an
ideology which will permit no more than one bil-
lion humans living in political, mental and physi-
cal conditions not terribly different from feudal-
ism.
Today, new energy sources await the political
will to overcome those boundary limits met by
our current addiction to fossil fuels and ineffi-
cient green “renewables”. On top of the prospect
of connecting Eurasian countries in a “New Silk
Road” known as the World Landbridge and Ber-
ing Strail Tunnel, the new frontier defining Mack-
inder’s fraud is located in the prospect of un-
bounded space exploration, lunar and Mars in-
dustrialization and asteroid defence.
None of these are “utopian fantasies”, but rather
active policies either already being applied by
leading nations such as China and Russia, or be-
ing offered by leaders among those nations such
as Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry
Rogozin’s offer for Strategic Defense of Earth
(SDE), and Russian Transport Minister Yakunin’s
Bering Strait proposal.
The effect of continuing to tolerate the limits we
find imposed upon ourselves as a species, will
entail not only undoing the industrial revolution,
but also ushering in new wars with the use of
thermonuclear weapons, risking the extermina-
tion of humanity.
LaRouche’s World Landbridge is already becoming a reality in Eastern Russia and Asia. Will
the rest of the world wake up in time to get on board?

By Matthew Ehret-Kump
When the consequences of a gambling addiction
catch up to the addict, were his immediate re-
sponse not to seek help, but to sell his children, the
future for that family would become bleak indeed.
This response is pitifully tragic when committed
by any individual, but criminally insane when
committed by the leadership of national govern-
ments entrusted by the people with the care of the
common good.
Although criminally insane, it is specifically this
mindset which is the driving force behind Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke’s recent unleashing of
another (QE3) bailout, Obama’s calls for gutting
Social Security and Medicare in order to raise the
debt ceiling, and the similar behavior of bailouts
and fascist cuts being demanded by the IMF and
ECB in Europe. In the midst of this torrent of in-
sanity, the voice of the people is increasingly call-
ing for the abolishment of speculative monopoly
money and returning to national banking programs
under a global Glass-Steagall reform (1).
To exacerbate this crisis even more, we find that a
global policy is being implemented on the behalf
of the British Empire’s Inter-Alpha Group (2)
through their control of the Green movement to
crush those last remnants of frontier science which
humanity still has at its disposal, and which, under
a new system could be mobilized to build our way
out of this multi-generational crisis.
It has long been understood by the Empire and its
opponents, that it is functionally in the domain of
science and technology that mankind’s true role as
a unique species of unbounded potential expresses
itself, and in that fact, so too melts away any so-
phistical justification for the existence of the para-
sitical system of oligarchy, which rather seeks to
keep humanity enslaved as cattle in fixed systems
of “zero growth”. This anti-science (and anti-
human) intention expressed by controllers of the
Green movement such as Prince Philip, involve
bringing humankind’s population to levels
‘acceptable’ to a governing elite according to
mathematical models known as ‘carrying capac-
ity’.
As Plato once warned, it is the desire for one`s
shackles that maintains a slave more effectively
than forcing shackles upon him. Hence, it has also
been that long term intention to bring society’s
behaviour and values into conformity with an oli-
garchical model that is the underlying cause of
Germany’s suicidal decision to exit from nuclear
by 2020, Harper’s selloff of AECL and Obama’s
abolishment of the manned space program. The
causal intention is nothing less than those geno-
cidal effects which will result from such policies.
The Green-Blue Paradox
This context must be kept in mind when consider-
ing the new phenomenon sweeping the Canadian
political landscape between two irreconcilable
movements. That is, the marriage of labour and
environmentalism which is manifesting itself most
clearly within the New Democratic Party (NDP)
and Quebec’s Parti Quebecois (PQ) as of this writ-
ing. The argument for a “green-blue” marriage is
based not on science but rather on the fallacious
assumption that man-made activities and CO2
emissions are the primary drivers for global warm-
ing and must be halted at all cost. The only solu-
tion to this non-existent problem proposed by
those powers attempting to orchestrate the mar-
riage involve the drastic elimination of those
means of sustaining advanced civilization via:
Environmentalism and the General Welfare Make Poor Bedfellows

1) Reduction of high energy density technologies
such as nuclear power
2) The elimination of CO2 emissions via new specu-
lative cap and trade programs and
3) The advancement of low energy dense power sys-
tems such as wind, solar, geothermal and tidal power
which lack the power density to sustain the industrial
needs of a technologically advanced, population
dense mode of society.
All three factors are designed to have one common
objective: The reduction of the world population
from the current 7 billion to less than 1 billion. This
policy was outlined in blood curdling detail in the
recent report by the Scientific Advisory Council of
the Federal Government of Germany on Global En-
vironmental Changes (WBGU)(4)whose director
Hans Joachim Schellnhuber was recently quoted as
saying: ``In a cynical way, it's a triumph for science
because at last we have stabilized something--
namely the estimates for the carrying capacity of the
planet, namely below 1 billion people. What a tri-
umph. On the other hand, do we want this alterna-
tive? I think we can do much, much better.'' It is no
wonder that Schellnhuber was awared Commander
of the British Empire by Queen Elisabeth in 2004.
To any humanist, the contradiction in the attempted
marriage of labour movements which support the
general welfare and anti humanist environmentalism
is blatant. The awareness of this contradiction was
made evident in the heated fight during the 2011
Vancouver NDP convention, between the true labour
and green factions, who fiercely battled over the at-
tempted greening of the Party constitution, replacing
principles of “social justice” with “conservation”.
While that amalgamation of green-blue was success-
fully resisted then, a new wave has begun, with the
same desired effect.
The arguments which attempt to justify the un-
natural alliance are not merely fallacies, but actually
reflect a moral disease festering in the minds of the
Canadian people which must be overcome quickly.
The reality is that the entire world system is in the
last throws of a general collapse whose causes are
largely to be found in the unwillingness of the politi-
cal leadership to confront the Inter-Alpha Group`s
immense stranglehold over our national economies.
As Lyndon Larouche has been saying for decades;
nothing within the monetarist logic will solve this
type of physical crisis. Nothing short of a fundamen-
tal abolishment of the artificial rules of monetarism
in favour of a return to clean Hamiltonian banking
practices on a global level will open any pathway to
a future worth living in. That means that no opinions
justifying budget cuts, hyperinflationary bailout, or
green population reduction as “solutions” to this cri-
sis shall be respected as legitimate.
A Lesson from Physical Economy
In the science of physical economy, we learn that it
is mankind’s increasing power within and over the
universe which is the invariant metric of value. Not
money. Interestingly, it is not only a characteristic
of human life which expresses this potential of crea-
tive anti-entropy, but contrary to the popular delu-
sion now taught in schools, the universe as a whole
exhibits this same power of constant self develop-
ment. Moving from energy sources of lower flux
density to higher flux density as we see with the
leaps of wood to coal, coal to uranium, and beyond
in human society represents the same function ex-
pressed in lower orders of life developing new tech-
nologies such as chlorophyll, and permitting for
greater metabolic activity of life on earth (see fig-
ure1 on next page).
This increase of powers of energy to accomplish
increased work is known as energy flux density in
physical economics. The truth of this power unique
to the human condition is one which necessitates our
total abolishment of all forms of energy policy
which have the effect of:
1) Reducing our power to act on the universe
through forcing a decrease of energy flux density
2) Reducing human population growth
3) Reducing our intensive expansion of global in-
vestments into all anti-inflationary (and anti-
entropic) activities of the type outlined on the
www.larouchepac.com/infrastructure page.

In fact, the only power source
with the energy flux density
adequate to support the perpet-
ual growth of these three fac-
tors at once, is to be found in
the domain of third and fourth
generation nuclear energy, ther-
monuclear fusion, and eventual
Matter-Antimatter processes.
Each increase of power upward
must be subsumed within a
higher Moon to Mars (and be-
yond) colonization outlook.
Windmills, and solar panels
offer only self destruction (5).
It is this optimistic outlook and
the associated means of actual-
izing its aims, that not only
built the best aspects of our
civilization (which are now suf-
fering from neglect, privatization, and cuts), but
which will again be the efficient power behind our
still possible survival. The participation of a re-
formed Canada in an alliance of sovereign nation
states for the passage of a global Glass-Steagall, fol-
lowed by a return to fixed exchange rates as de-
scribed under LaRouche’s New Bretton Woods re-
mains a possible third option beyond that of chaos,
and despotism now being offered to the credulous.
Market forces be damned, humanity
comes first.
The means thus established for a Hamiltonian credit
system usher in the next question:
How can labour return to its roots as an uncompro-
mising defender of social justice, and scientific and
technological progress which have defined our na-
tion’s best character for generations? How can Cana-
dian labour help kick start the re-industrialization of
ourselves and our neighbours abroad, using the most
advanced science and technology for the common
good of all?
This bold change in paradigm could not be done for
monetary profit, nor to appease market forces, and
not possibly to ‘make jobs’. This change could only
occur with the understanding that it is the creative
powers of human cognition which permit for the
increase of humanity`s power over the universe and
is expressed formally as a measure of our potential
relative population density.
Today, no source of energy existent aside from nu-
clear fission and thermonuclear fusion will ever per-
mit for the equitable increase of those material stan-
dards of life to levels high enough to supply the dig-
nity and freedom so necessary for those creative
powers of our species to express themselves, and
with them, the necessary and moral precondition for
self-government.
If we succumb through ignorance, or inaction, to the
monetarist and environmentalist propaganda by re-
jecting those frontiers of nuclear energy and space
exploration, it is not merely the financial oligarchy,
but ourselves that will be judged guilty of the geno-
cide that will be unleashed.

The use of nuclear power is neither a political nor
an ideological issue; it is the most powerful scien-
tific-economic breakthrough that occurred during
the 20th Century. The scientific and physical eco-
nomic aspects of nuclear power have not been ac-
knowledged by any of Québec’s political leader-
ship. The political parties have shown no under-
standing of these attributes whatsoever. Our con-
cern is that ignorance on this important matter is
not confined to the political class. This is why we
submit the present article to the scrutiny of all our
fellow citizens.
As humanity is confronted with the biggest finan-
cial-economic crisis it has ever experienced and a
set-up for potential world war in the Middle East
cockpit, we citizens must choose to either sink with
this dying system into a new global dark age or af-
fect an evolutionary change that is lawfully crafted
on the anti-entropic behaviour of our universe. The
latter would assure our common survival, but
meanwhile, contradictory decisions are being made
by our political leaders…
Case Study: The Shutdown of Gentilly-2
The recent statement by Parti Québécois (PQ) lead-
ers calling for closing the Gentilly-2 nuclear reactor
comes as no real surprise as it was already a known
intention of the party, specified in their latest elec-
toral platform (1). The official declaration was made
two weeks after the September 4th election of a PQ-
minority government, without a rational explana-
tion of the decision other than the green ideological
fad of so-called “renewable” energies and some tax
money-saving rhetoric. In fact, the majority (three
out of five) of Quebec’s political parties running for
the last provincial elections had already written nu-
clear energy out of Quebec’s future. While both the
Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ)
were advocating the refurbishment of the nuclear
plant; they were doing so for the wrong small-
minded reasons. The closing was made official as
of October 3rd by Hydro-Quebec’s CEO Thierry
Vandal and will take effect at the end of 2012. Ob-
viously, distrust and anger has been growing espe-
cially from the families of the 800 specialized em-
ployees that will be losing their jobs due to the
shutting down of the power plant.
With the intention of panicking the public into ac-
quiescing to the shutdown of Gentilly-2, a docu-
mentary was aired on September 17th on Chanel
Télé-Québec entitled Gentilly or not to be(2). Noth-
ing grandiose has to be said about the documentary,
which began with footage of nuclear bomb explo-
sions, as the intent was clear: who could trust an
energy source of that type? Then paranoia sets in
with a barrage of frightening reports on the dangers
of radiation, possible catastrophes that could hap-
pen in the future, the complications of waste dis-
posal, environmental contamination, stillbirths,
etc…
Once upon a time, Quebec could have been a leader
in nuclear technology. Hydro-Québec’s plan in the
1970s was to build about 30 nuclear reactors along
the St. Lawrence River, an opportunity missed
when the PQ government of the time voted to in-
definitely halt the construction of new nuclear
plants.

to set the record straight the Canadian Nuclear Security Com-
mission (CNSC) wrote the short report on every falsehood in
the documentary.
Instead of putting wind-
mills close to their
plants, the nuclear
industry should fight to
educate people on the
principle of energy flux
density.
25
Both succumbing to, and encouraging the hysterical
fear promoted by the environmentalist lobby sur-
rounding the dangers of nuclear technology, it was
arranged that dams were to be built in James Bay and
Manicouagan region instead. Quebec then became a
world leader in hydropower systems although the
dream of having a nuclear powered Quebec was
dropped and forgotten.
It is important to note that the arguments for exiting
nuclear, and replacing it with lower grade energy
sources such as wind and solar are founded upon the
unscientific fallacy that energy must only meet house-
hold “electricity” needs. But nuclear technology is not
only about providing electricity. It has many other
purposes. Carbon-14 is used to date archaeological
findings; medical isotopes are used for either imaging
and/or therapy. Recall the crisis of shortages which
occurred when Ontario’s Chalk River reactor (which
produced more than 50% of the world’s medical iso-
tope needs) had to be shutdown for over a year. Nu-
clear is a denser form of power that can be used to
desalinate water, to procure new isotopes, and power
heavy industries which could never exist under lower
“renewable” energy sources.
The Empire: making a bloodless killing
Since the end of World
War II, many organiza-
tions have been founded
by individuals formerly
associated with the
eugenics society’s lead-
ership, many of them
crown-bearing. They
decided that their Empire
would prevail through
new ways of making
population reduction ac-
ceptable to their dumbed
down subjects. Their
choice of re-introducing
eugenics thinking back into society was “wildlife con-
servation” or if you prefer, “environmentalism”. After
years of propaganda that has shaped popular opinion
into believing that mankind is the environment’s top
enemy, this ideology has now become a new
“Malthusian” dogma whose mantra has become
“don’t feed the poor/ save the environment”! The pro-
development and anti-war policies of two Kennedy
brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. were sabotaged
and turned into an anti-human religion as the world
economic system was transformed with the 1971 de-
struction of the Bretton Woods System into a clash of
two mutually contradictory polarities. Short-term fi-
nancial profits under a monetarist ideology were set
up on one side and an anti-science population reduc-
tion ideology on the other. These assassinations, of
the political and moral leadership of the 1960s, were
meant to usher in a new paradigm of cultural pessi-
mism.
The Club of Rome and other think tanks have pub-
lished books like “The Population Bomb”, “Global
2000” and “Limits to Growth” to warn of impending
doom if the world’s population is not culled rapidly.
Today, in 2012, Prince Philip, the Queen’s consort,
and his financiers’ acolytes still promote a maximum
“carrying capacity” of the Earth of less then 2 billion
people. The most important tool this oligarchy has, is
our uneducated fear. This ignorant fear can lead not
only to the denial of the necessary technologies for
third world countries to develop, but also a destruc-
tion of those similar advanced technologies so neces-
sary to our own survival. Since the shift into “post-
industrial consumerism” that followed the countercul-
ture revolt of 1968, western culture has almost en-
tirely lost the idea of producing for the needs of the
future, choosing instead the immoral path to hell
founded on the baby boomer motto of “live for to-
day”.
The insane fear of radiation
The illustrious physicist Edward Teller used to joke
that a man would get more radiation from sleeping
with two women than living next to a nuclear plant.
Though you may or may not find this image offen-
sive, it is still nonetheless true. Radioactivity perme-
ates every inch of our universe. It is in the food we
eat, in the soil we step on, it is emitted from the Sun
that shines upon us and even originates from the cells
in our own body! The doses of radiations we receive
from artificial sources –such as nuclear plants- are
infinitesimal in comparison. For example: “Every
year, Canadians are exposed on average of about 1.8
millisieverts (mSv) from natural background radia-
tion. This means that in one year, residents living in
Trois-Rivières and Bécancour get 900 times more
radiation from natural background radiation than from
the man-made radiation of Gentilly-2 (3).”
(3) Ibid.
Martin Luther King and Ro-
bert F. Kennedy represented
a vision of optimism that had
to be destroyed to save the
system of empire.
26
Some might ask the question “What is the dose of
radiation that’s normal for a human being?” There
is no satisfying answer that anyone can give be-
yond a certain minimum and maximum bracket.
Some argue, supporting their statement with LNT
(4), that any exposure to radiation is harmful, re-
gardless of what the doses may be, and therefore
such people will develop a sophistry that will con-
clude that, “half the dose of radiation will cause
half the amount of cancers”. These are clearly
simplistic views that reflect a profound ignorance
on the part of the interlocutors. Not only is a cer-
tain amount of radiation necessary for life, but low
dose radiation within certain bandwidths has been
proven to both extend longevity and combat can-
cer!
Don’t buy gold… Increase energy
flux density!
An elementary question that must be asked is:
What gives value to anything? Whether we are
looking at gold, wood or even uranium, from
where and to what end does its value arise? Think
of our old relative, the caveman. What did he
value? What was useful to his survival? Some
tools, yes, but what is the principle permitting for
the power of tool-making? What is behind the
bronze and iron ages,? What made them possible?
It is important to get this question right, since
these new tools were more valuable to our ances-
tors and to human civilization than any precious
mineral or metal. What is the underlying principle
that carried out these discoveries? Creativity is our
human gift, and the concepts applied and en-
hanced every time a fundamental discovery is
made is what we call the concept of energy flux
density (5) , or otherwise the principle of fire devel-
oped at length by Lyndon LaRouche in many of
his economic papers (6) for over 50 years.
Energy flux density is the standard by which en-
ergy production must be studied and must define
which form of energy among a given spectrum of
choices is selected by society. Physical economics,
the modern science founded by Gottfried Leibniz
in the 17th century, was developed around the
concept of steam-powered machines applied to
enhance the work of mankind while alleviating the
need for capital intensive human or animal labour.
The per capita and per square kilometre output of
energy is the valid measure to understand which
energy production will be able to power cities of
two thousand or two million citizens. The readers
should look at a very good study on the subject for
more extended data (7). Using this criteria we must
come to recognize that nuclear fission power is an
unbeatable option in today’s world, as it is orders
of magnitude higher in output than wind, solar and
fossil fuel-powered plants. Modern society neces-
sitates a shift towards an atomic renaissance.
(4) The linear no-threshold model (LNT) is a model used in radiation
protection to estimate the long term, biological damage caused by
ionizing radiation. It assumes that this damage is directly proportional
to the dose at all dose levels.

A fuel bundle 500 mm long, 100 mm in diameter
and weighing 22 kg could be carried in an over-
night bag. When put in a CANDU reactor, it can
produce as much energy as burning about 400 tons
of coal or 2000 barrels of oil (8). … wind and solar
energy are not calculable under these metrics (9),
but in terms of power potential, are orders of mag-
nitude inferior. Quebec’s energy makeup is hydro:
94.8 %, fossil fuel: 2.6 %, nuclear: 2.1 %, wind:
0.3 %, biomass/wastes: 0.2 %. That is to say, that
1 nuclear power plant (Gentilly-2) generates al-
most ten times more power then 393 windmills!
How much land(10) is wasted on a technology that
will only fuel a new dark age?
Speeding up the Renaissance
While this article is being written, Japan has an-
nounced that it is not only reopening closed nu-
clear plants (all but three of Japan’s 54 reactors
were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima
hysteria in 2011), but is also launching the con-
struction of new ones. The nuclear renaissance is
also on its way in Russia, China, Argentina and
India as their governments have declared war on
the short-term, anti-science thinking so popular in
the West. Advances in new technologies such as
thorium-based fission reactors, fourth generation
systems and advances on thermonuclear fusion are
being made by nations which possess an intention
to assure stable sources of energy production, and
durable growth for the coming centuries. Every
society, in order to prosper, needs to increase its
energy input/output without any absolute upper
limit in order to survive durably. That is not an
ideological statement. It is simply the science of
development and a fact proven by the experience
of human history.
We, in the West, have to decide if we shall partake
in this Renaissance and help it ignite faster or at-
tempt to throw sand on the embers. Already some
promising projects are underway such as Bel-
gium’s Myrrha (11) , which could eliminate the
term “nuclear waste” by transmuting the radioac-
tive elements into new non radioactive material.
Canada’s CANDU reactor technology is already
found in 6 other countries around the world. Can-
ada was among the first to advance the science of
the atom, and we need to save this legacy. The
new isotope economy lies before us.
Any questions? Let’s do it !

By Jonathon Ludwig
Many onlookers who understand that the core of the Brit-
ish Empire’s program for depopulation and the subversion
of the nation-state leans upon its control of the environ-
mentalist movement, have found it somewhat paradoxical
that British puppet Stephen Harper has made headlines
this summer by passing sweeping reforms under the C-38
“omnibus” bill, which has overturned decades of environ-
mentalist legislation designed to stop development in the
name of “wildlife conservation”. This reform has thus
opened up new corridors for streamlined resource extrac-
tion across the board. British sponsored environmental
groups have been abandoned, and have been screaming all
across Canada, but with very
little resistance from the oppo-
sition NDP which has up until
now represented the voice of
Green in Canada. In fact, in the
weeks before and after being
sworn in to the Queen’s Privy
Council on September 18 2012,
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair
has uncharacteristically come
out defending both the Alberta
oil sands, as well as the new
Enbridge pipeline to the Pa-
cific.
Why the anomalies?
Conservative Natural Re-
sources Minister Joe Oliver, speaking to a group of Asian
businessmen has promised that Canada hopes to build
infrastructure to liquefy and export nine billion cubic feet
per day of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Asia through
five proposed coastal plans. With the building of new
pipelines from Alberta and BC to the Pacific starting with
Enbridge, and China’s existential need for fossil fuels for
its survival, the risk of China falling prey to the addiction
of Canada’s cheap resources is very real. The British of
course, are intent on loosening the bonds of survival
which have thus far held Russia and China together
against the British drive for World War and are deploying
every asset available to do so. This fact is especially perti-
nent as the schism deepens between China and Australia
due to Australia’s hosting two U.S. military bases antago-
nistic to China. As China currently imports a vast portion
of its natural gas needs from Australia, we must ask: Is
Canada being set up to replace Australia’s role as sup-
plier of China’s natural gas needs? Surely, the arrival in
Ottawa of a new Chinese ambassador, who was formerly
posted in Australia provides one clue. The additional hype
surrounding Canada’s “comparative advantage” relative to
Australia’s in exporting natural gas published in the
KPMG 2012 “Competitive Alternatives” report is another.
The proposal by state owned China National Offshore Oil
Co (CNOOC) to purchase Canada’s Nexen gas company
for $15.1 billion should be viewed within this greater con-
text. If this deal, now held up in court due to the fact that
CNOOC is a state owned company, should pass, a flurry
of other state owned energy companies primarily from
Asia and the Middle East promise to follow with similar
purchases with Korea, Kuwait, India and Malaysia already
topping the list. According to BP’s Statistical Review of
World Energy Report of June 2012, of all remaining pri-
vate global (not state controlled) oil reserves, 62% are
found in Canada’s oil sands. 10.6% of overall world oil
reserves are in Canada.
It is appropriate here to point out, that were it not for the
demand from Asia’s markets, the “Plan Nord” set in mo-
tion by the now fallen Quebec Liberal Party of Jean
Charest never would have begun. Quebec is now engaged
in applying the “Alberta oil sand” model of resource ex-
traction under the $80 billion PPP investment into opening
up Quebec’s resource rich North. Just like the Alberta oil
sand model, the Quebec model entails zero nation build-
ing, but is based entirely upon the logic of converting min-
erals into money as fast as possible within the closed-
system logic of “market theory”.
Were the “Three Power Alliance” of Russia, China, and the USA adopted in the short-term however, coinciding with a global Glass-Steagall reorganization of the finan-cial system, would not only stymy the threat of World War, but usher in a nuclear renaissance as well. If Can-ada’s thorium rich soils were tapped and an advanced liq-uid salt nuclear crash program following China’s lead were adopted, geopolitical manipulation around human-ity’s reliance on finite fossil fuels would no longer be used to the advantage of the British Empire as it is now, but rather an unbounded potential for growth would be real-ized and the creation of new resources for the benefit of all would be the result.
The Paradoxical Case of Britain’s Attack on its own Green Movement in Canada
Privy Council member
Thomas Mulcair has
begun his unlikely de-
fence of the oil sands and
Enbridge pipeline.
29
As of October 2, Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau
has announced his candidacy for the leadership of the
Liberal Party. With his press release announcing his
inner circle of advisors, it must be said here and now
that Justin is off to a very bad start. The first of the two
advisors that send off alarm bells is none other than Ted
Johnson, who was not only his father’s executive assis-
tant, but also served as Vice President of Paul Des-
marais’ Power Corp. in the 1990s, handling the damage
control during the disastrous “UN Food for Oil” pro-
gram.
Joining Johnson is Justin Trudeau’s old McGill Univer-
sity debate partner Gerald Butts, who is returning from
his former role as Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s
principal Secretary, having overseen the disastrous
Green energy initiatives of McGuinty’s government, to
handle his young protégé. Butts’ qualifications for his
Ontario job rested heavily on the fact that he was and
remains President and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund
Canada (WWFC). The Malthusian WWF was founded
by Prince Philip, Sir Julian Huxley and Prince Bernhard
of the Netherlands in 1961 as part of the British Em-
pire’s policy of making the “unthinkable once again
become thinkable” as Sir Huxley wrote in his 1946
founding document of UNESCO(1). The unthinkable of
course, is “the important science of Eugenics”, which,
in the eyes of these oligarchs, was given ‘terrible pub-
licity’ when their “Hitler project” (begun and controlled
largely as a British-Wall Street initiative until 1937)
failed them. It is no coincidence that former Nazi SS
officer Prince Bernhard is also the founder of the infa-
mous Bilderberg conferences which began in 1954 to
advance the cause of one world government and de-
population. Both Ted Johnson and Gerald Butts were
participants in those very conferences (1983 and 2007
respectively).
The WWF Canada was given new powers to influence
national policy as part of Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s revo-
lution in “greening Canada” from 1968-1984. These
reforms, which included the creation of Environment
Canada, a mass of green legislation, and new financing
support systems for NGOs such as WWF, Nature Trust,
and Conservation International, have had a devastating
impact in arresting all serious development projects in
Canada as well as representing a frontal attack on the
universalizing sense of optimism that NASA’s Apollo
landing on the Moon represented, especially for Cana-
dians who took great pride that their newly founded
Canadian Space Agency partook of this great endeav-
our.
These Pierre Trudeau-era programs have served to stunt
Canada’s development as a sovereign nation-state on
the one side, and keep Canada locked into the Power
Corp.-enforced trap of the free trade (aka: “fur trade”)
exploitation of resources for prices that often fall below
the cost of production, demonstrated by such monstrous
policies as NAFTA.
Power Corp. has been directly linked to every major
leader of the Liberal Party since Pierre Trudeau, and
that includes Conservative Brian Mulroney who re-
cently helped found the Asia Power Corp. to attempt to
control the energy program of Asia. This roster of re-
cent Liberal leaders include Jean Chrétien , Paul Mar-
tin, as well as current interim leader of the Liberal Party
Bob Rae, whose brother John Rae currently serves as
the Executive Vice-President of Power Corp. as Paul
Desmarais’ right-hand man. Paul Demarais is also a
Privy Councillor to her Royal Highness Queen Eliza-
beth II.
In light of these revelations, perhaps the Liberal Party
would do well to not be seduced by the star power of
young Justin and arrange for a competent leader with
more substance to take on the important role of leading
Canada into the future.

By Karel Vereycken, Nouvelle Solidarité, France
While recent announcements by French Ministers
Arnaud Montebourg and Delphine Batho loudly
proclaimed that nuclear power will remain “a sec-
tor with a future”, President Francois Hollande
just confirmed that in the name of “ecological and
energetic transition”, France would be closing the
Fessenheim nuclear power plant. He also repeated
his commitment to cutting French generated nu-
clear energy from 75 to 50%, following Ger-
many’s lead to exit the field by 2020. Having pro-
duced the likes of Marie Curie, Paul Langevin,
Pierre Mendès-France and Charles De Gaulle,
France has always played a pioneering role in this
domain. It is therefore ever more tragic that this
great world leader in nuclear science has fallen to
such a low that its politicians are trying to sell the
idea that France could become a world nuclear
leader in “plant dismantling”!
In parallel with the ASTRID demonstrator
(Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for In-
dustrial Demonstration) steered by the Commis-
sary for Atomic Energy (CAE) of France, a team
from the National Center for Scientific Research
in Grenoble (NCSR) have reworked the concept of
the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) associated
with thorium, one of six research options retained
in the context of the Generation IV forum. Tho-
rium 232, a metal three times more abundant in
nature than uranium, when exposed to a source of
neutrons, for example in the core of a European
Pressurized Reactor (EPR), can be “fertilized”. It
is then transformed into uranium 233 and will be-
come in turn, a fissile fuel. While India intends on
using it as a solid fuel, MSFRs are based on the
use of a molten salt (lithium or beryllium fluo-
rides), serving simultaneously as a coolant, a fuel
and a first barrier of containment. Molten salts are
also used in solar panels and fuel cells.
The Ideal Reactor
But there is more. The MSFR is a real «all-in-one»
kit: a high-temperature reactor whose efficiency is
superior to most of today’s reactors and its heat
allows for seawater desalination. As a regenerator,
it allows for the multiplication of the fuel while
crushing waste accumulated by the civilian and
military nuclear sectors. The reactor is easy to in-
terrupt, thanks to a passive security system and
operating at ambient pressure, it could never turn
into a new Chernobyl. Better yet, with the MSFR,
half lives of waste are scaled down to 300 - 500
years, far from the today’s waste half lives reach-
ing millions of years.
This concept, developed and tested in the 1960s in
Oak Ridge, USA, was abandoned by President
Richard Nixon for reasons which we would ironi-
cally consider a benefit today. For one, it didn’t
produce enough military-quality plutonium. To
this, was added the fact that the U.S. Marines had
chosen water-pressurized reactors for all their nu-
clear submarines, an option also taken by West-
inghouse for the vast majority of its reactors built
throughout the world for the civilian sector.
The Chinese offensive
While nations of the west spread doubts and fears
of this vital technology while chopping their budg-
ets, China is patiently getting ready to move for-
ward in giant leaps and bounds. For China, the
aim is not simply to have about one hundred clas-
sic reactors produced between now and 2030, but
to become a world leader in the cutting edge
“nuclear of the future”, efficient, ecological and
much safer than anything yet created. To this must
be added the aim of gaining a large degree of en-
ergy independence. It is ironic to note that in
2010, 95% of uranium consumed in China came
from imports, while due to the abundance of rare
earths in its soil, the country is blessed with con-
siderable reserves of thorium.
Is China on the road to becoming the world leader in the nuclear energy of the future?
31
In January 2011, the Chinese Academy of Sci-ences (CAS) had announced that it would launch a vast project of R&D for thorium-associated MSFR. Three months ago, in June 2012, the American Department of Energy (DOE) signed an agreement of cooperation on this matter with CAS. It is Chinese academician Jiang Mianheng (son of former Prime Minister Jiang Zhemin) who is co-director of the steering committee. He also led the CAS delegation that came to Oak Ridge to discuss the MSFR with former American research-ers.
One Billion Invested
On August 6th, 2012, Ken Chun from CAS, gave
a presentation at Berkeley University in California
about the China’s MSFR program. In short, Mr
Chun revealed that China has invested 350 million
dollars (some estimates assert billion) in the con-
struction of two experimental reactors. Although
CAS has hundreds of research centers, the main
contributor is the Shanghai Institute of applied
Physics (SIAP). China already built a facility
that could welcome 500 researchers, engi-
neers and technicians, which currently oper-
ates molten salts loops. The first reactor will
be studied in detail in 2013. Built in 2014, it
will reach criticality(1) by the end of 2015.
This first 2 MW reactor which will use tho-
rium in a solid fuel form will be cooled by
molten salts. The second reactor, also 2 MW,
will reach criticality in 2017. It will use a
molten salt liquid fuel. For now, many details
are still to be worked out. In any case, ac-
cording to the success of those prototypes,
China will then develop a steering program
with a reactor of approximately 10 MW, fol-
lowed by a demonstration program with a
reactor of approximately 100 MW.
China’s objective is not simply to produce
those reactors, but to guarantee itself the intellec-
tual property rights linked to the implementation
of this technology. Commercially, China is mov-
ing to outpace everyone else. Although in the
United States, Canada, England and France, a
modest awareness is gradually taking shape
among researchers, to this day, the Chinese pro-
gram is the most important national initiative con-
cerning an industry that will permit, not only the
creation of medical isotopes but also the produc-
tion of hydrogen for fuel cells and the mass desali-
nation of water.
Of utmost importance, the development of these
advanced reactors will ensure that a condition out-
side of the current logic of “diminishing resource
returns” is created. In this thorium driven econ-
omy China will not be forced to rely upon those
scarce fossil fuels now monopolized by a handful
of cartels steered by the London centered financial
oligarchy. As nations allied with China such as
Russia, India and Argentina are also realizing that
their mutual survival depends upon vigorous nu-
clear programs in order to become fully energy
self sufficient, it can only be hoped that other na-
tions of the west learn their lesson, drop the geno-
cidal practice of “green economics”, and “de-
nuclearization” and return to the highly dense en-
ergy sources such as Thorium which a modern re-
industrialized society requires.
(1) Criticality refers to the point at which the nuclear
fission reaction becomes self-sustaining, with the num-
ber of neutrons generated through fission becoming
equal to the number of neutrons absorbed or which es-
cape the reactor.

EIR- During their Summer meeting at the G-20
summit in Mexico, Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Argentine President Cristina Fernández
de Kirchner mapped out several strategically im-
portant areas in which the two governments want to
broaden their cooperation which has driven the
British Empire wild.
Putin also invited Fernández to use the occasion of
the September 2013 G-20 meeting in Moscow—
Russia is now the President of the G-20—to spend
several days in Russia for a state visit to really get
to know the country. Fernández invited Putin to
visit Argentina as well.
According to yesterday's Russia Today, the two
heads of state discussed hydrocarbons and nuclear
energy, transportation and railroad development,
and agriculture and agro-industry as key areas for
greater cooperation. There are reportedly negotia-
tions already going on in Moscow and Buenos Ai-
res by relevant officials in each of these sectors.
Officials from Russia's Gazprom announced from
Moscow that they intend to contact the new leader-
ship of Argentina's recently-renationalized YPF oil
firm to discuss a specific work plan for cooperation
in the exploration, exploitation, and distribution of
natural gas in Argentina, with the goal also of col-
laborating with YPF throughout the Mercosur
(Common Market of the South) region, which in-
cludes Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
Gazprom is especially interested in working with
Argentina to exploit the enormous Vaca Muerta
shale gas deposit in the Patagonia, in offshore ex-
ploration of Argentina's continental shelf, and also
in several joint oil projects inside Russia.
Cooperation in nuclear energy is also a top agenda
item. Officials from Rosatom, Russia's nuclear en-
ergy agency, are already in discussions with leaders
of Argentina's NASA, the agency that oversees re-
actor construction, as well as with the state-run
technology company INVAP, to evaluate Russian
participation in the building of the two new fourth-
generation reactors that Argentina wants to build.
Crucial also is
the invitation
that Argentine
officials have
extended to
Russia's state
railroad com-
pany to partici-
pate in the
modernization
of Argentina's
railroads. A
delegation of
Russian offi-
cials from that
agency is ex-
pected to visit Argentina shortly to begin negotia-
tions both with public and private sector leaders.
Projects include improving and upgrading certain
specific lines with new technologies, as well as re-
vitalizing the railroad machine shops that have been
used historically to train and upgrade personnel.
But large projects, such as a bi-oceanic railroad and
construction of underground lines, are also on the
agenda.
Putin would like Argentina to provide the technol-
ogy and know-how to help develop Russian agri-
culture and beef industries, including breeding ani-
mals and marketing. Argentine technical and agro
experts are already planning trips to Riazan and
Smolensk to begin work in these areas. Argentine
assistance in the processing and marketing of soy-
beans is another area of cooperation that has been
discussed among business groups in both countries.
Argentina is a key supplier of soy to Russia and
China.

Saudis Officer Leading Syrian Rebels Killed in
Idlib: Another Sign that the War is Already Re-
gional
Oct. 14 (EIRNS)--Not only is the British Empire's Saudi Arabia
arm building up and funding and supplying the neo-Salafi terror-
ists against Syria, the Saudis are directly on the ground fighting
the war against Syria. The Arabic paper, Al Alam, reported that
Syrian government troops have killed a Saudi military officer in
the northwestern province of Idlib, about 73 kilometers south of
Aleppo. Russia's RIA Novosti picked up the story on Oct. 14,
and identified the Saudi officer as Mohammad Salem al-Harbi,
saying he was killed in heavy fighting on Saturday. The direct
involvement of a Saudi officer leading the Syrian rebels is just
another indication of the spread of the war to a regional war that,
with the action by NATO member Turkey, in bringing down a
Syrian airliner on its way from Moscow, also directly confronted
Russia.
In a series of interviews and statements, Russian Foreign Minis-
ter Sergei Lavrov said, following the airliner incident on Oct.
12, that Turkey had refused to allow Russian diplomats to speak
to Russian citizens aboard the flight.
Russia has proposed an emergency military-to-military channel
of communication between Syria and Turkey to avoid any fur-
ther hostile incidents that can lead to all-out war, to a NATO
confrontation. While the Syrian government has welcomed this
proposal, Turkey has not responded.
Meanwhile, the London Telegraph has put out a story -- not
confirmed -- that the UN Security Council's envoy to Syria,
Lakhdar Brahimi, is drawing up a plan for a force of 3,000
peacekeepers to ``enforce a truce'' in Syria. However, even the
Telegraph notes that there are almost no possibilities for this
plan to succeed: Major Arab countries are excluded because they
are already supporting the rebels, and the British and U.S. would
not be acceptable because of their role in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The only sure way to stop the fighting is to force the Saudi-
Turkey-Qatar pipeline of weapons and fighters to be closed
down immediately. But this pipeline of death is open courtesy
of British agent Obama and the British Empire.
Russia Demands UN Mandate for Cooperation on
Afghanistan
Oct. 11, 2012 (LPAC)--RUSSIA reacted immediately and
sharply to the NATO decision, announced this week, to continue
NATO's deployment in Afghanistan after the official withdrawal
date of 2014. Nikolay Korchunov, Russia's acting ambassador to
NATO, responding to written questions from Reuters, said that
"an international mandate" was "a pre-condition both for carry-
ing on the operation and for our cooperation with NATO on that
issue post-2014." He specified, that "international mandate"
meant a new Security Council resolution.
While Russia has clearly been in support of the Afghan mis-
sion, to the extent it is aimed at controlling the devastating drugs
and terror exported from the region, and has played an indispen-
sable role in transport of supplies and people, the Putin govern-
ment is making a point of principle: It is the UN which estab-
lishes the international rule of law, not NATO or particular
countries. [NBS]
Russia Will Intensify Its War on Afghan Drugs,
From Space
Oct. 13 (LPAC)--Russian scientists and engineers are develop-
ing new state-of-the-art Earth remote sensing technologies that
can fly on its Resurs series of satellites, in order to pinpoint
farms that are growing illegal crops. These high resolution hyper
-spectrometer instruments would be able to identify drug crops
to within one meter, Russia Today (RT) reported Oct. 11th.
The spectrometers, with 196 channels, or spectral lines, that
can be measured, would be able to effectively discriminate be-
tween different plant species. ``Plants, in composition, are
slightly different, and, therefore, can be identified in different
regions of the...[electromagnetic] spectrum,'' Andrei Shokol,
director of the Russian Research Center for Earth Operative
[Observation] Monitoring, told RT. U.S. technologies have fo-
cused on tracking the activities and infrastructure of Latin
American drug cartels, to help interdiction. This system would
zoom in on finding the crops in the fields.
It is estimated, RT reports, that more than 30,000 people die
every year in Russia due to illegal drugs. They estimate that
Afghan farmers produce 90% of the world's heroin.
Tony Blair in Illinois on the Obama Campaign
Trail
Oct. 13 (LPAC)--Earlier this week, Tony Blair, HMS Opera-
tive, was in Decatur, Illinois, "on the campaign trail for Obama,"
as reported by the London {Daily Mail} yesterday. Blair's ad-
vance schedule is being kept secret, per usual. But, as the {Mail}
notes, in May this year, Blair was acknowledged as an official
adviser to the Obama Presidential re-election drive, and would
be campaigning for him.
On October 11, Blair was at the Chicago City Hall, meeting
with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a cohort since the 1990s, in impos-
ing Trans-Atlantic imperial policies. Blair attended a meet-ing in Chicago of the Zurich Advisory group.
In Decatur, Blair was photographed with two other Obama
campaigners, the Desperate Housewives castmember, Eva Lan-
goria (who spoke at the Democratic Convention in September),
and Warren Buffett's son, Howard Buffett, who has been given
the philanthropo-fascist franchise to appear as the friend-of-the-
farmer. Blair was attired in down-on-the-farm denims and plaid.
Last night, Lyndon LaRouche stated during his Friday Project
webcast, when discussing Obama's British Empire pedigree as a
"trained, controllable puppet," that, "First of all, if you are obser-
vant, you know that the British Queen controls Obama, totally!
She created him, she controls him, she has her man, Tony Blair,
sitting in Chicago making sure that the Obama machine is in
conformity, and they control money. They also have British
money, which comes from some places in Britain, where it's
basically drug money...."

U.S. Intel Denounces Obama's Effort To Place
Blame on Intelligence Community
Oct. 12 (LPAC)--The Romney Presidential campaign has posted
the following press release on its website, issued by former CIA
director Michael Hayden and former Secretary of Homeland
Security Michael Chertoff:
"During the Vice Presidential debate, we were disappointed to
see Vice President Biden blame the intelligence community for
the inconsistent and shifting response of the Obama Administra-
tion to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. Given what has
emerged publicly about the intelligence available before, during,
and after the September 11 attack, it is clear that any failure was
not on the part of the intelligence community, but on the part of
White House decision-makers who should have listened to, and
acted on, available intelligence. Blaming those who put their
lives on the line is not the kind of leadership this country needs."
Media and Financial Vultures Launch New As-
sault on Argentina
Oct. 12 (LPAC)--The so-called Global Editors' Network (GEN),
based in Paris, prominently backed by the vulture fund lobby
group, American Task Force Argentina (ATFA), has just issued
a fraudulent "alert" to world media to protest against President
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for issuing an alleged
"intolerable threat to press freedom," aimed at the Clarín media
monopoly.
In reality, the call is a ratcheting up of the international cam-
paign by City of London-affiliated media outlets and financial
predators such as ATFA, aimed at overthrowing the Argentine
President to reverse an economic policy the City of London finds
so offensive. Clarín, in league with the daily {La Nacion},
speaks for those same British-loving financial interests which
have been whipping up opposition to the government, creating
an environment of violence and threats targetting the President
personally.
The GEN argues that the Clarín media goup, which it absurdly
calls "independent media," is under attack simply because it is a
"critic" of the government. But, this "independent" Clarín not
only owns 240 cable-TV stations, 10 radio stations, and four TV
channels; it also owns the country's only newsprint company,
Papel Prensa, which CEO Hector Magnetto, in collaboration
with executives of {La Nacion}, reportedly took over from the
Graiver family in 1976, by conspiring with members of the 1976
-83 military dictatorship. Graiver family members were subse-
quently jailed and tortured, and executives of both dailies still
face trials for human rights violations.
In keeping with the new national media law, Clarín has been
given until Dec. 7 to break up its monopoly or face auctioning-
off of its licenses to other media.
LaRouche Friend in Philippines Covers Helga in
Rhodes
Francisco "Kit" Tatad, an advisor of former Philippine President
Ferdinand Marcos, a Senator, a long-standing friend of La-
Rouche, and more recently an advisor to current Vice President
Binay, was a speaker at the Rhodes conference, as was Helga
Zepp LaRouche. In his regular column in the Manila Standard
today, Tatad quoted Helga on the danger of war driven by the
collapse of the financial system:
"Some worthies at Rhodes were genuinely concerned that hav-
ing accurately predicted the transatlantic meltdown long before it
occurred, they might again be proved right about their apprehen-
sions of a Middle East war erupting not in some distant future,
but in the short term. `The accelerating collapse of the transatlan-
tic system is exerting such intense pressure on the dynamic driv-
ing the danger of war that humanity could crash into a brick
wall,' the global activist Helga Zepp-LaRouche told the closing
session of the Dialogue. "The US and European liquidity expan-
sion measures have led to a hyper-inflationary printing of
money, with its life-shortening effect upon millions of people in
Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. It threatens to plunge Europe
into a firestorm of unprecedented proportions,' she said.
"That may alarm," Sen. Tatad continued. "But it needs to be
said and somebody has to say it, for the war drums are getting
louder. Iran says it is committed to a policy of nuclear energy for
all, and nuclear weapons for none. At Rhodes, support was ex-
pressed for a nuclear weapons-free zone. Yet at the 3rd Singa-
pore Global Dialogue earlier in September, a coldblooded aca-
demic suggested the time to hit Iran was now, before it develops
its own nuclear bomb.
"It seems to me that no nation threatens the peace merely by its
sheer war-making capacity. It becomes the enemy of peace when
it begins to believe that war -- instead of dialogue and peaceful
engagement -- is the best way to express its power, and solve its
problems."
IMF Geeks that Financial Crisis Is Coming
Oct. 10, 2012 (EIRNS)--Even the International Monetary Fund
cannot fail to see that a global financial blowout is upon us. The
language of its semi-annual Global Financial (In)Stability Re-
port, issued on the eve of the IMF Annual Meeting in Tokyo, is
more honest than usual for a bunch of financier toadies.
"Mounting Risks, Euro Area Worries Fuel Financial Instabil-
ity," is the headline on the press release greeting visitors to the
IMF website. "Risks to financial stability" have increased since
our April 2012 report, they write. "Confidence in the global fi-
nancial system has become very fragile," and "the euro area cri-
sis remains the principal source of concern." Despite the ECB's
exceptional liquidity operations at the beginning of the year,
Draghi's big bazooka promise in July, and the ECB's September
measures "to increase liquidity support, capital flight is
"undermining the very foundations of the union." Fueling chaos
("market fragmentation") is the fear that countries may soon
leave the Euro and return to their national currencies
("redenomination risks").
The report projects that the way things are heading, European
banks could see asset shrinkage (capital flight, drop in valua-
tions, etc.) of as much as $2.8 trillion to $4.5 trillion through the
end of 2013.
Their solution? "More speed is needed now" in implementing
the policies which they admit have resolved nothing.

US Pork Producers File New Appeal to Obama
To Lift Ethanol Mandate, Citing "Frightening
Prospect" of Inability To Feed Animals
Oct. 13 (LPAC)--The National Pork Producers Council, repre-
senting 67,000 pork farming operations, filed a new appeal on
Oct. 11, with the Obama Administration, for a "Waiver of a
Portion of the Renewable Fuels Standard," citing the current
"price shock" and corn scarcity causing terrible harm to live-
stock operations.
The 27-page filing stated at the outset, "In light of the
ongoing disastrous drought that continues to afflict our nation,
and the outsized impact of the RFS on the supply of ever finite
levels of corn, EPA's consideration of these petitions and re-
quests for a waiver of the RFS mandate is an urgent matter.
EPA's granting of a full or partial waiver of the RFS is neces-
sary to avert the severe economic harm that has been experi-
enced in 2012 by pork producers and the communities and
states they live in, and will continue to manifest itself in 2013
and beyond. Therefore, we recommend that you issue a waiver
for the maximum duration allowed under Clear Air act section
211(o)(7)."
The Environmental Protection Agency, which technically
could do this at any time, is refusing to act, under the Obama
subservience to the British Empire policy of creating condi-
tions for depopulation.
The Pork Producers' document gives a chart, showing
prices for the main animal-feed products, corn and soybeans,
from 1950 to the present, highlighting the price spikes of the
last four years of economic breakdown. Unless there is a shift
in Federal policy, worse is to come. It states, that under condi-
tions where the volume of corn is not rising, and in fact, de-
creasing, then
the food system is: "put at risk of being wholly incapable of
adjusting and mitigating the worst effects of severe supply
shocks like that resulting from this year's drought, particularly
if such a supply shock is repeated two-years in a row...Indeed,
the severe harm that will occur in 2013 will become even more
manifested in 2014, should there be any kind of supply shock
in corn production in 2013...
"The severe harm pork producers will suffer in 2012 and
2013, however, pales in comparison to what it would be like in
2014, where this harm would be compounded by explosively
higher prices and crippling credit and liquidity shortfalls, and
creating the frightening prospect that many producers will find
themselves unable to assure stable access to an adequate local
supply of corn to feed their animals."
A few current headline events document
the livestock-meat chain breakdown crisis:
* CANADA. The second-largest pork producer in Canada
declared bankruptcy in September. Saskatchewan-based Big
Sky Farms filed; and also, Manitoba-based Puratone Corp.
Both cited the factor of high feed costs, specifically that it
takes C$180 to raise a hog, which is fetching only C$150 on
the market right now. Canada is the world's third largest pork
exporting nation. In China, steps are being taken to stockpile
pork in meat-lockers, as a buffer against shortages to come.
* CALIFORNIA. A long-standing poultry producer,
Zacky Farms LLC filed for Ch. 11 bankruptcy Oct. 10, citing
the cost of grains used in animal feeds. Processing for mostly
private labels, Zacky, founded in 1928, accounts for nearly 2%
of U.S. turkey production.
OBAMA TELLS WORLD LEADERS {NOT} TO ACT
ON FOOD CRISIS; AGRICULTURE MINISTERS
MEET IN ROME OCT. 16
Oct. 13 (LPAC)--The Obama Administration on Oct. 4 de-
creed that the world's governments should {NOT} move to
intervene in the fast-worsening crisis of food scarcity and
hyperinflation, because, it lied, "markets are functioning." This
is a straight depopulation pronouncement. The full text is be-
low.
The intent was made clear in the report on low world grain
stocks, issued by the Administration's own Agriculture Depart-
ment, infamous in recent years for understating the situation.
World grain stocks--that is, grain on hand in any form, under
the control of any entity, usually the mega-grain cartels--are
plunging. U.S. corn stocks as of 2013, are headed to levels of
17 years ago; soybean stocks going downward to 8 years ago.
Bins are emptying. The rush is on, from those with funds, to
line up the remaining, scarce food. It's down to bushels and
tons. For example, Africa imports about 30 million tons of
wheat a year. Where is it to come from? There is no foresee-
able let-up in culling and liquidation of herds.
World farm ministers will meet in Rome on Oct. 16 on
the situation, during what is scheduled as World Food Week.
Oct. 15-20, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Com-
mittee on World Food Security meets in Rome.
The Obama Administration's statement against any of
these groups or member governments of the Group of 20 tak-
ing action, was issued Oct. 4, by the United States Mission to
the UN Agencies in Rome (three of which are the world's top
food organizations). The statement follows in full:
"United States, as chair of the G-20 Agricultural Market
Information System Group, Confirms Agricultural Commodity
Markets are Functioning
"Rome, October 4, 2012
"The United States, as Chair of the G-20 Agricultural
Market Information System (AMIS) group, has consulted with
G-20 and other experts at the October 3-4 regularly scheduled
AMIS meeting in Rome. The U.S. concurs in the judgment of
the G-20 AMIS representatives that in light of the information
available to us today, agricultural commodity markets are
functioning and a meeting of the Rapid Response Forum is not
necessary at this time.
"Governments around the world, including large agri--
cultural exporters in G-20, have exercised prudence and re-
sponsibility in policy-making, including by avoiding export
bans that exacerbated volatility in 2007-2008."

Thank you. We shall get at the business....
We need a new national policy, a new national
policy perspective. We're in the process of a gen-
eral breakdown crisis of the trans-Atlantic econ-
omy in particular, with emphasis on the United
States, which is in a financial breakdown crisis at
present. Western and Central Europe are en-
trapped in an increasingly hyperinflationary break-
down crisis. And if Europe continues to function
in that way, with this hyperinflationary program,
which has been recently installed on top of a pre-
vious hyperinflationary program, you're not going
to see much of Europe. We have to change that.
Now, the only solution for the problems of the
United States, in terms of economic and related
problems—when I say related problems: econom-
ics, physical economics in particular, is central to
the economy of the nation and its people as a
whole.
Recovery Begins with Glass-Steagall
So, the first thing we have to do—and there is no
alternative, and the same thing is true for
Europe—there is no possibility of the survival of
the United States and/or of Europe, without a
Glass-Steagall law. They have in Europe a ring-
fencing version as a so-called substitute for Glass-
Steagall. It doesn't work. It's just suicide on a
slower basis.
So therefore, Glass-Steagall is the first action.
Without Glass-Steagall, there's not going to be a
United States, because we're now engaged, our-
selves as a nation, in a hyperinflationary accelera-
tion, which would mean that whatever happens in
a few months, if it continues in this way, under
Obama, for example, there isn't going to be a
United States. There's going to be a piece of
wreckage, where there once was one.
The rate of starvation is there. The rate of a great,
crucial food shortage for the people of the United
States will continue, if Obama remains in office.
That does not say that I know what the other can-
didates are going to do. There are several of them
in the wings presently. But the point is that if
Obama remains President, you're going to see
mass starvation increasing in the United States,
especially in areas which used to be the food-
growing areas. And people are going to start dying
en masse, out of the effects and side effects of
hunger. When people have no food at all, they
tend to eat all kinds of things just to survive. And
they often die of the effects of what they eat.
That's the condition that the continuation of the
Obama Administration represents for the United
States in the coming period.
So Glass-Steagall is the only thing that can save
the United States, as it saved the United States
before, with the Franklin Roosevelt Administra-
tion. Go back to it. That gets us out of the mess.
But, Glass-Steagall of course means not cancelling
the non-included debt, but it means that non-
included debt is going to go bankrupt all on its
own, because most of it is going to be wiped out.
It's purely speculative. It's worthless. It's hyperin-
flationary.

And to bring the system under control, you just have
to say that Glass-Steagall will take care of, on behalf
of the government, the private-public [commercial,
non-speculative] banking system; and the other kind
of banking [investment banking] will just have to
learn how to survive on its own good behavior—
which will happen, as it happened under Roosevelt.
But there is a much more serious problem.
A National Credit System
So now, the problem is, we have to have a national
credit system. Once we have cleaned up the banking
system—because, remember, most of the banking
system represents worthless assets—most of the
Wall Street and similar kinds of entities, represent
worthless assets, which the United States can not,
under Glass-Steagall, bail out. Now that means that
the total amount of banking capability, of reserves
and credit available, would be limited. But there's a
remedy for it.
We have to create a national banking system, which
has another feature. A national banking system will
be based on the borrowing of credit which is secured
and guaranteed, as an asset, by the Federal govern-
ment; which means that wherever the banking sys-
tem—or the proper banking system—comes up with
a case which is, in terms of the government, going to
work to the good of the economy of the United
States, that will be taken seriously into account.
NAWAPA
One of the biggest projects we have in mind is the
NAWAPA [North American Water and Power Alli-
ance][1] project. Now this has been kicking around
since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, or
shortly after that. If that program had been imple-
mented, you would not have a water crisis in North
America today. You would not have most
of the problems of the western area of the
United States. And most of the shortage of
the ability to grow crops and all these sorts
of things, would have been cured. But that
would be one of the greatest driver pro-
grams, with about 14 million people em-
ployed suddenly, in this process of creat-
ing a North American water management
system, which will solve the general
threats of dessication in North America, by itself.
So the idea of having people trust the Federal gov-
ernment to guarantee the projects, will mean that we
can put, on that account alone, 14 million people to
work, in highly productive employment. That
changes the character of the United States.
Now, there are many other things. There are areas,
for example, in the northern part of the Eastern states
of the United States: We used to have an auto indus-
try, and accompanying an auto industry and a manu-
facturing industry, we had many others; we had air-
craft industries. During World War II, we had built
up the make-everything-industry, including for war-
fare.
We must go back to that. That's a couple more mil-
lion jobs to be added to the 14. And there are other
programs, of the same type; which means we have to
go to this conception, which is the original concep-
tion of credit of the United States under its Constitu-
tion. So simply going back to that Constitutional
provision will be sufficient to get, not riches for eve-
ryone, but a recovery and a genuine rate of growth,
and a prospect of the future.
The greatest problem in the United States today is
the fact that people have become more and more
ignorant in every practical way. Because they don't,
first of all, have employment of the type that be-
speaks productive power, and productive power is
very close to intellectual power, to mental power.
And that's been lost. People are dumped on the
streets, they're dumped out of their jobs. They don't
have a future under the present system; under the
Obama system, and the two toad-like systems [G.W.
Bush Administrations] before that.

So this thing has to change; we have to go back to
what we were doing as long as John Kennedy was
alive as President. Because in the history of the
United States, the assassination of Kennedy and
failure of relevant powers to investigate the actual
crime of his assassination led to a decline in the
U.S. economy; in its physical economy, in the
condition of life of our people, which has been
going for all this period since the time that Jack
Kennedy was assassinated. We have never had a
period under any President since the assassination
of John F. Kennedy when there was actually a net
per capita improvement in the economy of the
United States.
So what this means is, going back to the
NAWAPA project, which is one of the projects
which was on the agenda in the period when Ken-
nedy was assassinated. And 14 million jobs would
have been put into work at that time, had Jack
lived or had the investigation of his assassination
been taken into account.
So, we're going back to the time we started to take
a nosedive. We have some things which were go-
ing on then which were good, but they were not
sufficient to compensate for what happened after
the Kennedy assassination. The space program:
There was a high-tech driver program around
Massachusetts; they had a good time with it be-
cause they wanted it; one of the big beneficiaries
of that. But that project now, of course, has been
crushed by Obama.
But it was never sufficient to make up for the loss
of productivity which followed the assassination
of Jack Kennedy; and of course, the long war, the
ten years virtually, of war in Southeast Asia,
which should never have happened. Actually,
Kennedy was killed primarily because he opposed
the war in Southeast Asia, which Douglas MacAr-
thur, who was a key advisor on this, said, "Don't
do it. No land wars in Asia for the United States."
And what that did, that war killed off the morals
and future and happiness of a good part of our
population. It put us really on the slide, and that
decade went down to the dirt.
We didn't do too well under another President.
Another President came along, and he had some
good ideas, he did some good things, but he wasn't
allowed to do too much. So, the United States has
actually been in a process over these successive
generations, since the assassination of Kennedy,
has been in a downslide morally, culturally, and
every other way. And each generation tries to
make it out for themselves, but they don't see the
pattern. They don't see the pattern, that we have
been going downhill.
And with the Green policy, which had already
started at the time that Kennedy was pushing
things up, the Green policy has destroyed the
United States morally as well as physically, eco-
nomically. So these things have to be changed.
Money Does Not Have Intrinsic Value
But the other part of this thing is, people make the
mistake—and Glass-Steagall points in that direc-
tion—people make the mistake of thinking that
money has an intrinsic value. Money does not
have an intrinsic value. The use of money as a pre-
sumed value goes back a long ways, it goes along
with what is called the oligarchical system. It goes
back actually to the siege of Troy, where the kill-
ing of a whole people, a mass murder of a whole
people occurred. And this has happened a number
of times in European history since that time. Just
mass killing of people.
Why? On the basis of what is called a monetary
system, a money system. And a money system
which is of the form called an oligarchical system,
where a small ruling class—fat, sloppy, skinny,
whatever, but useless and murderous—has reigned
over nations in the European region.
Now, the remarkable thing about the United States
is not so remarkable. There was a fellow—
Nicholas of Cusa—a Cardinal, one of the most
famous minds in all modern history. As a matter
of fact, he almost invented modern history. And
before he died, his commitment was to induce
Europeans who wanted to do so, to cross the great
ocean—and he knew where the ocean was, and he
knew where the land on the other side was, be-
cause the scientists at that time knew that informa-
tion. They knew the size of the Earth; they knew
the approximate size of the ocean, and Columbus
was able, based on the information developed for
him by Nicholas of Cusa and others, to plot a
course, which he met. He arrived when he ex-
pected to, and he arrived as he expected to. So,
there was a development.
39
Out of this came, eventually, with a lot of mishaps
here and there, there came a point where we started a
new civilization, by Europeans, as colonists, moving
across the Atlantic Ocean into the Americas.
Now the particularly most successful case was that
in North America, and the greatest concentration of
success in the early days of that century was Boston.
That effort, which was in Massachusetts, which was
the foundation of the creation of the United States,
and everything that our system meant, was crushed
by the British, by William of Orange and his types.
So that, for a time, our Massachusetts Bay Colony
and its ancillaries continued to function, but they
were crushed.
But nonetheless, the effort came back with a struggle
since 1763, the Peace of Paris. And suddenly there is
a division; the Americans began to assemble again
against the British Empire.
The British Empire had been first installed as an em-
pire on the planet. It was not the royal family, the
royal system had not been changed; but that had
changed in 1763. At that point there was a struggle
that began with the ending of the French and Indian
War, which coincided with that first Peace of Paris.
Out of this came a struggle from within North Amer-
ica, within what became the United States, to estab-
lish a republic, based on the same principles which
the Massachusetts Bay Colony had brought into be-
ing with its own automatic currency—not based on a
monetarist system, but based on a credit system.
When the U.S. Constitution was first formed, the
provision was for a credit system, not a monetarist
system. Monetarism came in because of the loans
and debts of the United States at that time, in which
other people were using money to assist the United
States or to collect debts from the United States. And
that is where this problem came up.
But intrinsically, in our constitutional principle, the
United States was founded on a tradition which goes
back to Nicholas of Cusa, which goes back to the
Massachusetts Bay Colony's development, and went
to the idea of a credit system, which is the definition
of our constitutional monetary system. It's not a
monetarist system. It's a credit system, not a money
system.
And therefore, our return to those principles of that
American Constitution, that understanding of its his-
toric significance, is what is required. So therefore,
we make these changes: Glass-Steagall, no compro-
mise, Glass-Steagall as Roosevelt defined it; iron-
clad, no change. That's the precondition for our re-
covery and our survival. And any future Presidency
of the United States at this time must adopt that pol-
icy, or they're not fit to rule. We have to be clear on
that.
There are other problems—national credit: We have
to organize the national credit system as a national
credit system, the way it was intended by John
Quincy Adams, not that maddened nitwit who re-
placed him [Andrew Jackson]. And we need large
driver projects, which include chiefly NAWAPA,
the biggest one, and the other things; and the space
program—which I'll come to in the closing part of
my report—is a crucial one, and for reasons which
many people may not yet know, or haven't caught up
with.
End the Political Party System
Now, all this means that Obama must be swept out
of office now. This is not a partisan situation or
question. This is not a partisan issue. The greatest
error in the United States, as was understood by
George Washington and others, was the establish-
ment of a political party system, a national political
party system. That was the greatest piece of stupidity
ever imposed upon the United States by itself; and
Andrew Jackson was the most typical of the infected
creatures who participated in that.
But the idea of a Republican and Democratic
Party—this procedure was wrong, because what it
led to was all these other kinds of management prob-
lems. So we have to get back to a credit system un-
der our Constitution. There's no change in principle
in order to do that. And as George Washington un-
derstood, and others, repeatedly, the problem of the
United States was the introduction of a party system,
a national party system. And there should be no na-
tional party system, and that should be done now
under the incoming Presidency of the United
States—the end of the party system as such.
40
There are other ways of approaching this.
Besides, you look at the party system: They're
messes anyway. The Democratic Party, it's a mess.
There's no coherence there; it's simply a bunch of
gangsters with a bunch of fools following them,
each trying to win for their baseball or their football
team or whatever it is. And you have these football
teams, and they're all impassioned to beat the other
team. What about doing something for the nation,
rather than trying to defeat the other team? We
don't need this stuff, and the time has come to quit.
Rebuild the system based on a non-party system in
which the citizen has the authority, not some party.
The citizen does not have to give up his independ-
ence as a citizen, but we have to have a government
which is based on discussion of ideas, not this kind
of lechery that we get now, and the obscenity that
we just saw in the recent efforts.
And Obama couldn't exist except under that kind of
corrupt system. He couldn't be made President. He
was losing, and then suddenly, the way the drugs
are flowing across from Mexico into the United
States, and in that area of the world Obama made a
big victory and knocked out his competitor in the
Democratic Party, and that's all he had to show for
it. And he had some big muckety-mucks from Brit-
ain who are noted as the biggest thieves in the
world, and they financed Obama, arranged this fi-
nancing, and we've been subjected to this corrup-
tion and destruction all these years under Obama,
and some clown is trying to say vote for him again.
This must not happen.
We can reorganize the system and its secondary
features to go back to the original principle of the
Constitution. Because there are two things we don't
want to do, which have been done. One, is you
don't want to go back to a party system. Because
when you make the issue one of partisanship, like a
football team or a baseball team competition, on the
question of deciding policy of government, that is a
piece of idiocy. You want the citizen not to vote for
a team, like somebody in the stadium thinking he's
investing in something, and finding what he's
bought on the way out or sold on the way out.
You want a thinking citizen; you want the citizen to
accept the habits of thinking, of thinking through
decisions, of demanding the education needed for
them to make the decisions that they've been called
upon to make, as George Washington had intended.
Not Worth a Troy Ounce
And the other thing we have to get rid of is the idea
that money has an intrinsic value. Money has no
intrinsic value. Money is no better than govern-
ments that are able to organize money, in a way
that fits the national needs.
Now, the idea of the money system comes from
Troy. Troy ended up—they tore the whole joint
down, killed most of the people, except a few kid-
dies and old ladies and things like that. And they
set into a motion a system which is the oligarchical
system, which has cursed Europe, European civili-
zation, in one way or the other, and now the United
States as well, and other nations.
With this came the idea that there was gold, or sil-
ver, or something else, that had an intrinsic value,
as a metal, or something of that sort, an intrinsic
value. And this intrinsic value was value, and
money would be based on the control of this, par-
ticularly copper, zinc, gold, silver, whatever—this
thing that was used as a physical object was as-
signed a certain value, and the whole society was
imprisoned to that money value.
We don't need that. We never did. And what we
saw in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, with the
pinetree shilling that was introduced in that period,
was a demonstration of that. And Benjamin Frank-
lin's conception of a money system was based on
that precedent, with his paper currency conception.
The foundation of the system of economy of the
United States, the Federal system, was based on the
same principle. And it's only when we gave up the
principle to outside forces that we got into trouble
with our system.
The Massachusetts Pine Tree Schilling
41
We do not need a monetarist system. As a matter
of fact, you've come to a time when everybody in
Europe is bankrupt. They're totally bankrupt. Be-
cause the inflation under which they're living, be-
speaks something worse than what existed in Ger-
many in 1923, in the collapse of the currency then.
So, we're in the process of a global collapse.
Money, of whatever denomination, is no longer a
control mechanism, but rather politics and politi-
cal power is.
And therefore, we have to go a credit system,
which is well understood in history, or should be.
And that means this reform, around these three
principles of:
Glass-Steagall;
A national credit system (as opposed to this
kind of banking system we've had now); and
A return to production, through projects typi-
fied by NAWAPA.
This is what makes sense, and what we can do.
And we can just get other things out of the way.
Nuclear Winter
I think the very existence of the United States de-
mands that Obama be swept out of office. I know
what he is. I know what his mind, so-called, is. I
know what he does. And I know what his role has
been. He, together with certain people who own
him in England, and elsewhere, and Saudi Ara-
bia—because remember, this goes back to 9/11.
What we're living through right now, in the United
States and throughout the world, as in the recent
assassination of our diplomat [Amb. Christopher
Stevens], is, under Obama, we're dealing with this
problem.
And this is headed toward what? It's headed to-
ward a reduction of the world population, which is
decreed by the Queen of England, and a whole
mass of her associates, who have decided to re-
duce the population of the planet from 7 billion
people, estimated today, to approximately 1 bil-
lion. That process has actually been in progress.
We're seeing in the world precisely those condi-
tions which can bring on that rate of death among
populations, in the United States and elsewhere.
What they intend to do, as Obama makes it very
clear, is launch a war, a war which would lead to a
thermonuclear war. In other words, all you have to
do, is continue the process of the Obama policy
now, his military and related policy, and we are
going to find ourselves, in a very short time, rela-
tively, weeks or months, you're going to see—if
we don't stop it—a thermonuclear war.
And a thermonuclear war leads to what's called a
nuclear Winter, this time a thermonuclear Winter.
What happens then, is the U.S. Navy, and its sub-
marine fleet, in particular, and other forces, com-
bine forces to conduct a war against Russia,
China, and others. Russia and China are very ca-
pable in these weapon systems. The United States
is very well equipped in terms of, say, the naval
system. And the naval submarines of the United
States, if they take on this assignment, would very
quickly reduce a good deal of this planet to noth-
ing.
It would probably take an hour and a half, and the
expenditure of thermonuclear forces from the
United States, from China, from Russia, and from
Europe, and so forth—that amount, which are
probably two general waves, would turn the whole
planet into what's called a nuclear Winter. A ther-
monuclear Winter. Because you would create
weather conditions, cold weather conditions, from
which it is doubtful that we would be able to
maintain a population, even of the survivors of the
war.
And therefore, the time has come that we have to
take on two things that are our enemies. One en-
emy is the monetarist system, which is one of the
principal modes which lead us toward our destruc-
tion. The second thing is the related system to the
monetary system, which is typified by the British
Empire tradition, and by those within the United
Kingdom, and within Saudi Arabia, who created
9/11, under an Obama who is 9/11 Two—if he
gets a chance.
larouchepac.com/10yearslater
42
So, therefore, the time has come that what Obama
represents—it's not just he himself—it's what he
represents that must be swept out of office, for the
sake of the very lives of every damn citizen in the
United States—and I say "damn" advisedly. Be-
cause that's what we're up against.
The Natural Wealth of the Nation
So therefore, what we have to do, the idea that the
United States must go to a Glass-Steagall policy,
cannot be argued against by any competent, sane
person. The idea of going to a national credit sys-
tem, in terms of a banking system, cannot be argued
against by any competent person who understands
this. We cannot ever develop the monetary basis, as
a simple monetary basis, to sustain a recovery of the
U.S. economy from its present conditions. The only
way we can do that, is by using national banking as
a method of creating a credit system, which by the
issue of credit, against a government debt responsi-
bility, enables us to fund projects which are going to
contribute to the natural wealth of the nation.
And it's the natural wealth, not the money wealth,
which is important. The natural wealth of the nation
and its people. We've come to that point.
The myth of money must be cancelled. The money
changers must finally be discharged from govern-
ment.
Now, there's another problem. Europe is a problem.
Europe is on the threshold of disintegration, West-
ern and Central Europe. Because it's now entered
into a phase of hyperinflation. And if that continues,
hyperinflation worse than 1923 Germany, how long
is that going to last? So, therefore that's our prob-
lem.
We have to recognize that the euro system was a
crime against the human species. The attempt to
force a group of nations—and this was started actu-
ally by London, but Mitterrand, the President of
France, was the key instigator of it. Germany was on
the verge of being independent again, as a unified
nation. And then suddenly, Chancellor Kohl, who
was the leader of Germany at the time, had a friend
of his [Alfred Herrhausen], who was the greatest
banker in Europe at the time, the greatest in skill and
capability, who was assassinated. Assassinated by
somebody coming across from, say, a westerly di-
rection.
And at the same time, a key figure of the French
government, a servant of Mitterrand's, said, effec-
tively, that if Germany tried to unify, France would
go to war against Germany. And this was backed up
by the prime minister of Britain [Margaret
Thatcher], and by the President of the United States,
poor George Dumblebum Bush.
So therefore, this process led to the euro system,
which looted and destroyed these nations of Europe.
And the attempt to maintain the euro system, means
that Europe will not survive. Europe has now en-
tered into a deadly hyperinflationary explosion, and
it cannot survive under those policies. The euro sys-
tem simply should be regarded by all Americans as
an unwanted entity. Not because of the nations and
people, but because of what it implies.
The euro system is now hopelessly bankrupt and in
a state of hyperinflationary collapse, and there's
nothing in sight that's going to change that, except
the will of the people. If the will of the European
people says, "we're going to get rid of this, yes,
fine," the United States should take a very sympa-
thetic view of the success of that restoration of the
system of sovereign nation-states, rather than the so-
called euro abomination.
This is not a matter of interfering in their govern-
ments, because they don't have governments any
more. How can you threaten the government of a
nation, when the nation has no government? And
that's the case in Europe, in fact, right now.
A Planetary System of Cultures
So, therefore, we have to think about how we're go-
ing to reorganize the world. We're now going
through a great crisis; we're on the verge of the ex-
tinction of humanity, threatened by the nuclear
weapons crisis, thermonuclear weapons. Bankruptcy
all over the world. Africa, which has been murdered
over and over again, as a whole continent, by the
British in particular, over these periods.
43
The world is a mess. It has elements in it which
are viable, and valuable. These elements must be
protected, and systems of cooperation among sov-
ereign nation-states must be established, to ensure
stability.
We have to go, in one case, to a global policy: a
policy of global sovereign nation-states, entered
into systems of cooperation, and deliberation on
cooperation. That's what we require.
We're now faced, as I said, not only with a nuclear
Winter—and Obama's existence, his policy, what
he did in Benghazi, in fact did, is headed toward a
nuclear Winter, a thermonuclear Winter. And what
they're trying to do in pushing something against
Iran—again the same thing. What they're doing in
Turkey, the same thing. These things are chiefly
coming from the United States, and from the
Obama Administration under British direction,
and Saudi direction. The British empire is actually
partly the Saudi empire. And these forces are
there.
So, what are we going to do? We're going to re-
establish our system of sovereign nation-states;
secure agreement among nations to go to a credit
system, rather than a monetarist system; set up
systems of credit which enable nations to rebuild,
and to create stability; re-establish sovereignty.
Now, sovereignty means this: It means that in the
history of mankind, you have a variation in cul-
tures, and people function, not only on the basis of
their nationality, but they function on the basis of
the culture that nationality is assumed to represent.
We need a planetary system of cultures, of na-
tional cultures. It just means, that we restore the
best we had earlier, and put some more growth in
it.
Now, how do we get to a world without war, with-
out world war? Yes, you can have all kinds of
quarrels and so forth, up to a rather intense state, if
things are managed properly. But world war, or
general war approximating world war, is no longer
feasible in the age of thermonuclear weapons and
similar kinds of weapons. We can't have it.
A Defense of Earth
But we've got another problem before us. That's
not the only problem. We've got a problem with a
lot of big rocks, called satellites; and they're
swarming, particularly to our attention, between
the orbit of Mars and the orbit of Venus. We know
a small percentile of these asteroids, and they
come in all kinds of flavors and sizes. And if they
hit the Earth, as they do occasionally, they will
take out an area, say, comparable to San Francisco
Bay—something like that getting wiped out, and
all the people in it getting wiped out. That can
happen. Smaller events of that type can happen.
Larger ones can rarely happen. And a really big
one, if a really big satellite hits the Earth, then no
more people.
So therefore, the defense of Earth, while it has not
been much discussed, was actually being pushed
as an issue and a project at the time that I was
pushing for the SDI. And that effort has continued.
Today we find ourselves in a position where we
do not have the kinds of information we need, let
alone the equipment we need, to get out there and
steer some of these asteroids—first of all, locate
them; steer them in such a way they do not collide
with Earth. Because they would either do damage
to life on Earth, or they totally destroy human life
on Earth, and all life on Earth.
44
So therefore, we have a mission now, and it's be-
coming more acute as time passes, that we must
get out there, between the area of Earth and Mars
in particular, and build up systems of cooperation,
as with Curiosity on Mars; and by using the speed
of light of communication between the systems we
establish on Mars and the systems on Earth and so
forth, we're going to have to develop a system by
which we can detect these satellites that are float-
ing around, and intervene to steer them away from
a collision with Earth.
And this is typical of the kind of problem that we
have to deal with in the coming period. We have
to totally reverse the idiocy and the crimes that
were done by Obama, in terms of the space pro-
gram. The problem with the space program al-
ready, was we were not doing enough to meet this
challenge. We weren't giving it sufficient support
to meet this challenge. And now the time has
come that Obama has tried to destroy it all!
And that is a crime against humanity: When a
head of state acts to intervene in world affairs, to
block and halt a means necessary to preserve the
very existence of the human species, that is what
we will not tolerate. And Obama, for that reason
alone, should be just quickly ushered out the gate,
or probably impeached. We probably can't wait
longer. We should probably get him out of there
now. But that's the challenge.
The Worst of All Possible Governments
So now, that's where we stand. We have, on the
one hand, the worst government in most parts of
the world that we've seen in a long time. And the
U.S. government under Obama is the worst: The
worst of all possible governments! You wouldn't
think that anybody could do that, but that's it. He
is. Only the Saudis, if they were capable, would be
equally evil.
So, we're at that point. We have an understanding
of what this nonsense is. We have a system in
which you don't have clear party solidity. The Re-
publican Party is not a solid creature; the Democ-
ratic Party is not a solid creature. And you have a
lot of other loose groups around who don't really
agree with either! Or they don't agree even with
themselves, because they don't even trust them-
selves, I guess.
But the point is, we have to build up a new politi-
cal system which is based on, for us, our national
tradition. I don't think that most people in the
world would disagree with us on what the United
States system was, the conception of the political
system. They might have some disagreement with
what we've been doing, and what our policies are,
and what our thinking is in many cases, but the
principles are not at risk. And therefore, I think
that's where we stand. If we can do that, I think we
can make it.
So therefore, where are we? We've got a Democ-
ratic Party and we've got this piece of junk, called
Obama, who's stuck on top of it, running for Presi-
dent. You have the other side, and other sides in-
between.
We have to have a sort of an understanding, of
coming together, and instead of taking issues—
and issues are deadly: When you take issues and
make bargaining over issues a stake, it's the choice
of issues which you have to agree upon. In other
words, you don't want to have more football rival-
ries, or basketball rivalries, as politics. You want
to say, "What is the total combination that this
nation needs as a whole, that the world needs as a
whole, as a composite policy?" Without that, then
we don't have a solution. But Obama must go.
This is not a partisan issue. This is a human issue:
Obama must go!
We've had, 9/11 number 1; we're getting number 2
now, under Obama. And Obama is one of the peo-
ple who's been blocking the exposure of the evi-
dence of who did what, in number 1! The evidence
is there. Throw this SOB out of office now! Get
the voters to do that, too. Throw the guy out! And
partisan loyalties do not provide any excuse for
tolerating Obama any more.

Editorial
We have now come to the point that mankind must either grow up and accept his destiny as a galactic
species, or perish. This choice is not an exaggeration, but rather a fact defined by the reality of human-
ity’s modern relationship to the atom. After the highly dense interval of creative discovery during the
second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th, mankind had found itself facing a degree of
power that was unimaginable by all previous generations. Finally, the limits of imagination governing a
world of fixed energy, fixed motion, fixed resources melted away through the radiative power emanating
from seemingly material rocks. After the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Wall Street stooge
Harry Truman’s dropping the bombs onto a defeated Japan in 1945, the thought consuming all scientists
was : can humanity ever be trusted to use such power responsibly?
We have now reached a point of decision which will define the unfolding of human history for a very
long time to come. As another Wall Street-London Stooge sits in the White House, an encirclement of
Russia and China is underway with a large deployment of U.S. Military capabilities, including two Ohio
class submarines carrying Trident nuclear warheads in the Pacific theater. Provocations for war are arti-
ficially enflamed throughout hotspots the world over and an economic meltdown of the bubble economy
is revealing to a sleeping world that the physical economic foundations so necessary for humanity’s con-
tinual survival have been utterly dismantled.
Within this seemingly impossible conflagration of events, leading officials across Russia and China have
warned starkly of the danger of thermonuclear war but have also echoed the programmatic solutions of
American economist Lyndon LaRouche, in turning this crisis into a revolutionary paradigm shift to-
wards the future.
Were the policies advocated by Dmitry Rogozin’s Strategic Defence of the Earth and the greater chal-
lenge of space exploration and colonization adopted in the brief time ahead, an opportunity to bring the
power of the atom into conformity with humanity’s needs be assured. The acceptance of this mission
would entail not only reversing the current drive for war and aggression with the eastern alliance, but a
forceful implementation of the Glass-Steagall bank separation would be required of a large body of co-
operating sovereign nation states. The following application of productive credit via Hamiltonian na-
tional banking and a New Bretton Woods-type fixed exchange rate monetary system would be required.
The majority of Shanghai Cooperation Organization nations as well as nations of the Non-Aligned
Movement are enthusiastic to join such a program. Many South American Nations would love nothing
more than be given a chance to develop into sovereign nations outside of the City of London’s systemic
shackles. All that awaits this new possible world of progress is the cooperation of western governments,
who are only now beginning to awaken after decades of “post-industrial” decadence.
The Committee for the Republic of Canada, and our friends around the world are convinced that it is not
yet too late to change destinies from one of nuclear dark age to nuclear renaissance. The creative leaps
from advanced fission to thermonuclear fusion and to our necessarily inevitable harnessing of Matter-
Anti-Matter processes is calling humanity to do nothing less than bend the shape of physical space time
in a way never before dreamed of.
Two thirds of the world’s population are ready. Are you?
