LaRouche, speaking from Rochester, Minnesota: LYNDON LAROUCHE: I am told that there is hardly one citizen today, who thinks that our schools are doing an adequate job. Around the nation, groups of parents and teachers are fighting to reduce class size, to better the curriculum, and to bring morality back into the classroom. Unfortunately, those reforms, by parents and others, however commendable, will not be enough to reverse the virtual collapse into a dark age of irrationality which has overtaken our school system over the course of the 25-odd years since the assassination of President John Kennedy. Today, let us look at the problem of education from a practical standpoint. Let us consider the way in which miseducation has contributed in two ways to bringing our economy over the past 25 years to its present state of collapse, in what seems to most a hopeless, worldwide deep economic depression. First, let us look at the effect of miseducation concerning history and ideas of political economy upon the way you, the citizen, judge the economic policies of our government. Second, let us look at the way in which miseducation, or lack of education, affects the ability of our average citizen to produce, to compete against the better educated Japanese, Germans, and so forth, in the world of today. In response to a recent program broadcast nationwide, many citizens have said that my program sounds fine, but it won't work, because I seem to be ignorant of certain principles of economics. When I hear more from these listeners who write in or call in, I find that it is THEY who are terribly ignorant of economics; who say that my program would be inflationary -- which is not true -- which indicates that they believe in the myths that they're told from Washington, the myths which are told regularly in our classrooms. The center of the objection to my proposals for action, to get us out of a depression, is my proposal for monetary reform. Specifically, I have proposed that we must -- I repeat, we must -- nationalize, federalize, or shall we say, Constitutionalize, the Federal Reserve system to bring it into conformity with Article I of the U.S. Constitution. ("The Congress shall have the power to...coin money...." Art. I, Sec. 8) It is now in violation of Article I of the U.S. Constitution, and that's been known ever since the Warburgs induced Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to conspire, in effect, to create the Federal Reserve system, to impose it upon us -- a private bank chartered by the U.S. government, which gives international financial interests not under the control of government a kind of dictatorial power over our banking and financial system. And that, my friends, is unconstitutional. And that is what the Federal Reserve system is today. Now, the problem arises if I try as President, or if any other President tries, to get a boom going in the United States, a recovery from the present depression spiral which is already going on. There's never been a recovery. We're in a depression. It's just a matter of how fast we go down, how steep the slope -- we're going downhill. To reverse that, if a President were to try to use the Federal Reserve mechanism as a way of funding growth, he would unleash an inflationary spiral. And that is what I am determined not to do. To avoid inflation, you must federalize, Constitutionalize, the Federal Reserve system; otherwise, my friends, no economic recovery, because inflation of that type does not mean recovery; that's just another big bust. The difference is, when the United States government funds a recovery program, it does not do so by going into the public market to buy debt. As you may be aware, we already have too much Federal government debt to outsiders, including foreigners. We should have less growth of debt, but still have growth. The only way to do that, is to use the currency, printed and issued by the U.S. Treasury, as authorized by the Congress -- we're back to Article I of the Constitution -- to loan that money through its deposits with the Federal Reserve system made into a National Bank, Constitutionalized, to loan that money at low interest rates to highly selected, but crucial projects and private firms; to loan it to the Federal and State infrastructure building authorities; ($300 Billion to public and state authorities) to loan it as credit to firms which are contract vendors, essential to State and Federal authorized projects; and also to loan it to several kinds of private enterprise to get the economy going. ($300 Billion to the private sector) And, to loan it to the point that we get at least 8 million new jobs started in the United States right away -- that means within the first months, the first year at most. Then we have a recovery. If we do not do that, my friends, then we do not have a recovery. So, therefore, it is important that you know why, if you took economics in school, or if you believe what you are told by so-called experts, why, in most cases, you were miseducated -- you were lied to. Who are the political forces that imposed fraud upon your school system? Because you have to know who they are, in order to get them out of there; otherwise you're going to get the same old hokum and buncomb all over again. In the history of the United States, beginning with the period leading up to the American War of Independence, our quarrel with Britain, was that Britain was controlled, including the monarch, King George III, who was virtually owned by the British East India Company, which controlled the economy of Britain, with the Bank of England, and Barings' Bank. These fellows were determined from 1763 on, up to the point of the Revolution, to destroy the political independence of the English colonies in North America, and to deny us the right to engage in technological progress in agriculture or industry. They wished to keep us backward, relying upon black chattel slavery, indentured servants, as opposed to black chattel slavery, as a basic mode of life. We said: No! Franklin, one of our leaders, together with Washington, went to London, to meet with the British Parliament, and said, after meeting with the Parliament and other people: the situation here in London is hopeless; this is headed toward an irrepressible conflict; these people are determined to keep us barefoot and backward; and we won't stand for it! So we conspired, Franklin did with others, to establish a republic in this continent which could do several things: which could have industry, have technological progress in agriculture; which could have roads, canals, and, eventually later on, railroads; which could have the most modern technologies from Europe. Then came the time of our Federal Constitution, and the Confederation didn't work, because we couldn't have infrastructure: we couldn't have highways; we couldn't have canal systems built among states; we couldn't coordinate anything; we weren't safe; we were divided; we couldn't organize our own interstate trade. So, people were convinced that, in the face of our British enemy -- who was still determined to crush us, reconquer us, and enslave us -- we had to have a federal union. And, a federal union that would not only defend us, but would subordinate the role of the states to a central agency which would organize national infrastructure, regulate interstate commerce, as well as providing for a common defense -- for creating, as the Constitution says, "a more perfect Union," so that, as the 14th Amendment provides, you are not just a citizen of a State, you are a citizen of the federal United States. Then, the British were still determined to destroy us. That led to a number of things. First of all, under Jefferson and Madison, two Presidents in their 16 years in office, we had a fellow in there by the name of Albert Gallatin, who was actually a British spy -- of Swiss-French origin, but who became a British spy -- and who became Secretary of the Treasury, and so forth, and who became the key influence, the evil influence behind the throne, so to speak, in both the Jefferson and Madison Administrations. Now, he introduced policies which were directly contrary to our Founding Fathers. He introduced the policies of the British East India Company against which the War of Independence was fought. Now, those policies were known as the policies of the chief apologist, hired apologist, chief hack writer, propaganda hack writer on economics for the British East India Company -- a fellow called Adam Smith, who wrote a book which is popularly known as The Wealth of Nations. So, although in the first ten years of the Federal republic, under Washington, particularly, and Adams, we prospered as a nation, we had a miraculous growth, we were already becoming the envy of foreign nations because of our success. Particularly in Jefferson's second term in office, and under Madison, all this was ruined. Now, what happened is, some patriots came along, and recognized that Gallatin was the enemy of the United States. The patriots, who were called Warhawks, were led by a young fellow from Virginia, called Henry Clay. Henry Clay became immediately the Speaker of the House of Representatives in his first term. And, these fellows forced the United States to defend the vital interests of our citizens against our enemy, Britain. And so, we fought successfully, a second war against Great Britain. We beat them. We beat them on the high seas, with American superiority in naval technology, using small ships called frigates, such as the U.S.S. Constitution, and superior seamanship and navigation, and superior gunnery, to beat the British Navy. And then after that, under James Monroe, the man who defended Washington, DC from the British, who burned it, when President James Madison and his wife fled to Virginia, we began a recovery. This recovery took off under John Quincy Adams. National banking was reestablished; American policies were reestablished; Adam Smith was recognized for the enemy he was. Until along came Jackson. President Andrew Jackson, who was close to a traitor named Aaron Burr, brought in the policies of the British. The result of Jackson's policies, particularly in his second term, led to the total collapse of the U.S. banking system in what's called the Great Panic of 1837. And, he was run by New York bankers, on behalf of London. We were restored as a nation during the time of Abraham Lincoln, when we went back to American policies, as opposed to British, or Adam Smith, or free trade policies. Nonetheless, we continued, despite these corrupt influences, into the beginning of this century. We were being looted in various ways by the British, through the stupidity of the Specie Resumpiton Act we adopted in the 1870's, but were were growing. We were constantly in trouble, we were constantly broke, but we were growing. And, the reason we were broke was that we were being looted by these foreigners, these British, all the way along. We could never keep anthing for ourselves, to invest ourselves, because of this arrangement with Britain. Then came Teddy Roosevelt, who was a total British agent. As a matter of fact, his mother was a part of the Confederacy, came from from a Confederate family, which means the same thing as British. Then came Woodrow Wilson, a man of the same persuasion. And, these two fellows brought us under the Adam Smith system, at least to the greatest degree. And that weakened us. We remained powerful only because Europe was largely destroyed in World War I, and again in World War II. We continued to grow, and during wartime we abandoned the Adam Smith policies, as in World War I and World War II, and we used policies more like those which de Gaulle used when he was President of France, which were called "dirigist" policies, or what some people in this country these days call, "command economy" policies. That got us through. At the end of the war, we were back to Adam Smith policy. We had a major crisis as a result of that. Eisenhower's Adminstration was almost ruined by that. Kennedy took us a bit out of it, and put us on the road to recovery, but after that, Johnson was pressured to capitulate, and we went back to the policies -- Adam Smith policies -- in a very radical form, which have brought us to the present degree of ruin we have today. But let me emphasize: the problems of the United States are in no way caused by foreigners. The economic problems of the United States are caused entirely by our government and ourselves, in adopting over the last 28 years, particularly over the last 25-26 years, adopting policies, one after the other, in the direction of free trade, in the direction of deregulation, and so forth, and against technological progress -- for a so-called post-industrial society, or a so-called services economy society. It is these policies that have ruined us. And unless we get rid of free trade policies, go back to regulation -- get rid of deregulation -- and get rid of these Adam Smith policies in general, we are never going to recover. But what has your school been teaching you? Your university? Your children's school? The textbooks? They've been teaching you, along with the press in Washington, that free trade is the way to go. And, as long as we go that way, we're going to be ruined. That typifies the first problem in education. Let's now turn away from economics as such for a moment, to look at the other side of education. Let's turn to an address that was made recently to an audience in a southern state, by my Vice-Presidential running mate, the Rev. Jim Bevel. REV. JAMES BEVEL: Now, we're going to work on education in this country. Let me just tell you what education is. See, the first thing, you've always got to know what something is. Education is the science that man employs upon himself, his fellow man, and his children, to allow him to accomplish the objective that God created him for. Let's look how God created you. He made you a living soul, according to the Bible, (2:7) Genesis, in His image and likeness, to have dominion over the Earth. He did NOT create you to work for white people, and when white people do not work full-time, to set up an education system, to make sure that you have your businesses -- tell white folks -- look, that they all got them. You see, education is as old as Man. All white men know about education -- the man know about education -- and, he knows that your boy is not being educated! I've always been amazed by these white men, who would come around and would give your boy a toy for Christmas, while his son is learning how to make tools. And then, you're so stupid, you say: "He's a NICE white man!" He teaches his son to make tools, and gives your boy a toy. And you claim he's a NICE WHITE MAN! When does he set the school up, to make sure that the school teaches EVERY boy SCIENCE? When does he set the school up, so that OUR boys have the opportunity -- and girls -- to be engaged in research and development, production, and marketing in industrial processing? WHEN DOES HE DO THAT? Let me just tell you all this: When I was in Mississippi -- I'm a muleskinner by trade -- men who break mules, and make them work. We had these mules, and I used to plow -- and I plowed from early in the morning to late at night -- and by 12:00, I'd take the mules out and feed them; but, we fed our mules alfalfa-hay, oats, corn, and molasses. Now, Mr. Tolston had some mules; he only gave his mules grass; by 9:30 his mules would go like this: (collapses at the podium) If you take -- listen to me good -- if you take math, physics, chemistry, science, technical information out of your boy's academic diet, he has to be a criminal when he gets older. Every white man in here knows that! Every white man in Alabama KNOWS that. Every one of them knows that; and they go around acting like they're crazy. Are y'all listening to me? So, we've got to, then, get rid of that stuff. Let's cut the game. If we are going to save this nation, we must see to it that all of our children are educated. (From a speech at Demopolis, Alabama, August 21, 1992) LAROUCHE: There are two reasons for a public education, in the traditional sense. Its function, in the most general way, is not to produce a bricklayer, or a physicist, or a chemist, or an astronomer, or a college professor. The objective is to produce a mature human being, who is a competent representative of our civilization; who is able to make decisions, to understand problems, and to participate as a citizen in shaping the policy, and choosing his or her representatives, in discussing policy questions in all areas with his or her representatives. We want to produce a high quality of individual citizen. And the first function of education is not to produce someone who's able to earn a living. Any person is hireable for a job at the age of 18 or 25, if they've had a good education, even if that involved no specific job specialty training, just on the basis of the development of their intelligence, their powers of intelligence. That comes later; that comes on the college level, in a good society. Our general purpose is to develop a quality of citizenship, so that all citizens are able to enjoy POLITICAL equality of education, to be neighbors in more or less equal political standing with one another as they become mature members of new families. The second thing, is to lay the foundations in knowledge for an individual who's caapable of coping with the technology, and the problems that entails, of current and emerging society. Now let's talk about what Jim is talking about in that excerpt you've seen, from that standpoint. What does education do? Let's focus on the secondary education -- what we used to think of as high school, or part of junior high school, education. What's the difference between Man and the animals? What's the thing that defines HUMAN education, or human knowledge, as distinct from animal experience, animal learning? Well, if human beings were animals, like the lower animals, we would be pretty much like our ancestors many millions of years ago. We would be like baboons, running around gathering things to eat, as baboons do. We'd probably have pretty much the same disposition, and family relations, and life expectancies of baboons. But, human beings have another quality, a quality which Christians in particular call, "imago viva dei," the quality of the individual which is in the living image of God. That is, God as the Creator. That doesn't mean that we can become God, but that means that we have some quality which is sacred, which makes human life sacred, which makes the developent of the individual person's mind sacred. Which means that there is only one race, not many races, human races; there is only one human race. We all have the same potential for this "imago viva dei," this living-image-of-God quality. And, the function we are concerned about, is to develop that. Now, how does this pertain to the way in which society functions in earning its daily bread? Well, what happened is, that we, as Mankind, have changed our ways, we've made discoveries, typified by scientific discoveries, which enabled us to change our way of behaving, to increase our power over Nature, so that more of us can live on the same area of land, and, with the same physical effort, we can each have more even though we give ourselves less land to do it with, as population becomes more dense. In other words, the potential population density of Mankind increases. So, whereas primitive Mankind -- if he ever were primitive, in that sense -- could never exceed a world population of about ten million living individuals, we have well over five billion living human beings today. And they could all live well, if our technology had been available to all of them. This five-billion-odd population is not the cause of poverty. It's the lack of technology for most of humanity which denies them the ability to use the resources available to them in an effective way. So, this creative power to make scientific discoveries, and kindred discoveries, to improve our ways, is what characterizes Man. And, human knowledge is the sum total of this intellectual process of discovery, which is rightly called creative discovery. It is this power of creative discovery which makes each of us in the living image of the Creator. We are in the image of God when we act creatively and lovingly toward Mankind with our individual powers of creative discovery -- or simply to assimilate and transmit discoveries as a mother to an infant child does. That is the purpose of education: to develop that. Now, what do we want to give a child? We wish that child, by the age of 16 or 17, to have experienced in his or her own mind, the experience, the mental experience, of going through the process of discovery, for at least some of the most important discoveries of all Mankind. We don't wish that child to come out knowing a bunch of formulas, although he or she will; we wish that child to have experienced other people going through creative discoveries -- the greatest minds we know of in all history -- to repeat their experiences of discovery. So that our child has developed in his or her mind, that quality of the ability to discover. That is true human knowledge, and that is the true, proper purpose of education. If we give the child that, and if we give the child the ideas of physics, the ideas of chemistry; if we give the child the ability to perform experiments which re-experience some of the great discoveries in history, then as Jim proposes, that child is not simply a mule nor a jackass; that child is a human being who is endowed with all the qualiities of great human beings before us -- who KNOWS that he or she has a mind developed to echo the greatest achievements of the minds before him, or before her. That is the fundamental pupose of education, and a nation which is educated in that way, in which that standard of compulsory education is provided to all, to all young people, to all children, that nation is a nation that can't be beat. And that is a nation which is an inspiration to other nations, a nation which is envied in the best possible way -- envied with the desire to imitate and to cooperate.

An Address by Independent Presidential Candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche LAROUCHE (Speaking from Federal Prison, Rochester, MN): The World is now entering into the worst crisis of the 20th century, a crisis more deadly than that which built up around World War I and its aftermath, a crisis more deadly than that around World War II, its build-up and aftermath, and a crisis more deadly in some ways, than the longterm threat of nuclear war between the two superpower blocs, prior to the end of 1989. On the 16th of September, for example, we had a financial crisis, with repercussions since, which show that we've entered a new phase of a worldwide depression, which in physical terms, is far worse than the depression of the 1930s. In the meantime, we have the spread of war. You might say that World War III has already begun. We have a spreading war in the Balkans; we have a war in Transcaucuses, involving the Turkish population against the Armenians, and the Georgians against the Abkhazians, and so forth and so on; we have a war in Central Asia. We can say, in general, World War III is spreading rapidly in the form of these local wars. It's like a forest fire, threatening to engulf whole continents, and perhaps the world as a whole. The U.S. misery is beyond belief. The physical misery, the homelessness of a type which has not exisisted in the United States in this century, prevails. We have, coming out of the mouths of people like Clinton and Perot, proposals for so-called emergency action, which are almost identical to the austerity proposals of Benito Mussolini and his backer, Volpe di Misuratta, in Italy during the 1920s. Fascism is being presented as a remedy for the social unrest caused by depression. We have unjustice in this country beyond belief. We are now talking, at the Supreme Court level, about the need to execute death row prisoners, even if it is known that they are innocent of the crimes for which they are convicted -- murdering people for the sake of procedure -- that's the philosophy. This is no longer America. How did this happen? Look at this statue for a moment. Let's go back to the time of the man this statue depicts: General Albert Pike. To understand why the United States is in such a mess today -- why we not only have these troubles within our nation, but in our relations with the world at large; why the people in Washington seem to be incapable either of recognizing the problem, or proposing effective solutions; why Clinton and Perot, as well as Bush, show not the slightest comprehension of what our problem is -- we have to go back to the time of the Civil War, to the time of the man depicted by this statue, General Albert Pike: racist, traitor, and Satanic degenerate. The fact that that statue has stood in Washington, DC near the Supreme Court, beside the Labor Department building, maintained on public land at public expense, shows that there is a pervasive corruption and ignorance inside our government, which is the cause for the continuation of our present problems. Let's go back to those events of the Civil War, and trace it up to the present, to see what the problem is, and what we have to understand, to solve the problem before us. "Treason" What is called the U.S. Civil War, the most devastating war in our history, was NOT a war between the states. It was a civil war in the sense that a faction, including Bostonians such as Albert Pike, New Yorkers such as John Slidell, and so forth, were all part of a British conspiracy, run through the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, which took over control of the states, with the aid of a traitor at the head of the Democratic Party, August Belmont, a confessed traitor, in order to destroy the United States, by dividing it into several parts, so that the British might control it. VOICE: "New York would...cut loose from the Puritanical East.... She would open her magnificant port to the commerce of the world...as an independent city-state...." (August Belmont) LAROUCHE: This was not a Southern conspiracy; it was a consipiracy by British-controlled traitors to the United States, to take over the southern states, the slave-owning states, as a way of dividing the United States into several parts, which might be kept in perpetual conflict with each other, to eliminate the United Staes as both a factor in world politics, and also to weaken it to the point that the image of the United States, of the American Revolution, might be erased from the memory and hopes of people around the world. For example, Albert Pike, the traitor whose statue we've seen, was from Boston; Louisiana's John Slidell was an in-law of August Belmont, the traitor from New York City; one of the worse of the traitors, Captain James Bulloch, was the uncle, and, for a considerable period of time, the political mentor of a President of the United States, his nephew, Teddy Roosevelt, the man who was President in 1901, at the time when this statue was consecrated. In the 1830s, Pike, a Bostonian, was sent down to the South by his fellow Bostonian, Caleb Cushing, also a member of the plot. By 1859, Pike had risen to the position of Supreme Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite, and thus the supreme commander of the forces of the Confederate conspiracy, which had now moved to take over the relevant states against the opposition of such patriots as Texas's Sam Houston, who was opposed to this conspiracvy. Pike, as head of the Southern Freemasons, was not only the racist who later formed the Ku Kux Klan at the Nashville, Tennessee Maxwell House Hotel in 1867, Pike was also a Satanist. In his own words, as Pike said in Paris in 1889, Pike explained the religion of his Freemasonic cult, as follows: VOICE: "The true philosophical religion, is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonai...." (Albert Pike) LAROUCHE: Pike's Freemasonic plot had two subordinate arms. The first, founded in 1843, was the B'nai B'rith. Now, the B'nai B'rith was not the representation of Jewish organizations in the United States. Quite the contrary, the majority of Jews in the United States were violently opposed to slavery, in the tradition of the Passover seder, and during the Civil War fought, or otherwise aided the Union, in the cause of crushing slavery and maintaining the Union. The B'nai B'rith was founded as the pro-slavery racist faction among Jews. The B'nai B'rith of Freemasonry became the Confederate spy organiation, later headed by Judah Benjamin, who was involved in the plot to kill Lincoln, among other things, and who worked very closely with Pike. In fact, Judah Benjamin played a key role, together with Pike, in founding the Ku Kux Klan in Tennessee in 1867. The second subordinate organization of relevance of the Southern Jurisdiction of Freemasonry was what was the fighting arm of Freemasonry, which was known originally as the Knights of the Golden Circle, the precursor of the Ku Kux Klan. These three elements -- Pike's Freemasonic Lucifer worshipping cult; B'nai B'rith; and the Ku Kux Klan -- have been continuously interconnected from 1867 down through the present day. "Friends and Enemies" LAROUCHE: At the time that Lincoln was inaugurated, the Confederacy went into open secession, open revolt. At that time, the leading enemies of the United States were Britain, under the leadership of Lord Palmerston, who was otherwise known as the author of the Second and Third Opium Wars against China; and Palmerston's political catamite -- the man that Palmerston, in fact, put into power in France, Napoleon III. The friends of the United States were Russia, the Russia of Czar Alexander II more specifically; and also the Meiji Restoration forces in Japan; friends in Germany; and (you might not know it, but it's significant) the King of Thailand. This alignment of friends and enemies became crucial in the course of the 20th century. By 1862, it became clear, that once Lincoln had replaced more or less treasonous generals like General McClelland, the protege of August Belmont who refused to win the battle of Antietam, that the United States was organized in such a fashion that, by its own means, the Union would win the battle against the Confederacy, unless outside military interference occurred, to prevent that from occurring. At that time, Lord Palmerston's Britain and France's Napoleon III agreed to deploy British and French naval forces to attempt to break the Union blockade of the Confederacy, and thus enable France and Britain to reinforce the Confederacy, perhaps not to win the Civil War, but to make it so costly that the United States would bend to the will of the British government and accept a separate peace with the British Confederate puppet. At that point, Alexander II, the Czar of Russia, intervened. He prepared to send naval forces, which he did in 1863, to aid the United States. The Russian Navy arrived in New York City and San Francisco on friendship visits; and the commanders of these Russian flotillas, had sealed orders. In the event that Napoleon III or Britain, or both, should intervene against the Union, to attempt to break the Union blockade or other actions, these sealed orders would be opened, and Russia would go to war against Britian and France, in aid of its ally, the Union. At that point, Britain backed down, and the United States was able to settle its internal affairs by its own means. That began a worldwide movement, under which the United States was implicitly the ally or the friend of Alexander II's Russia, and of Germany, against our deadly enemies Britain and Napoleon III's France, until about the end of the century when things began to change. During that period, despite the assassination of Alexander II by forces friendly to Britain inside Russia, the policy of Alexander II was continued. A small group of the Russian nobility and others continued this admiration of the American System policy. At the same time, Count Sergei Witte, the leader of various governments of the Czar, reached out to Germany and to France, in an effort to get Continental cooperation for a general economic development of all Eurasia, based on cooperation initially in building railway lines which would extend from Brest on the coast of France, through Paris, to Vladivostok. And, of course, the Germans had a related policy of moving a rail line to from Berlin to Baghdad. The British reacted with violence to this, because they saw that the economic development of of the continent of Eurasia meant an end to their dream of a worldwide, single one-world British empire. The idea that the United States, which had been traditionally (since Lincoln, at least) had been allied with Russia (or at least, that faction in Russia which Witte represented) and with the more positive forces in Germany, and forces around the Meiji Restoration in Japan (which in the 19th century were very close to the United States) and forces for independence, anti-British forces such as those of Sun Yat Sen, for example in China -- that these forces united, would mean an end to the British Empire, and the British had to break up that coalition. And, thus we had in the 20th century this upsurge of wars and revolutions, including World War I, which were entirely orchestrated by the British. "The Change" LAROUCHE: The shooting, the execution, of President William McKinley by admirers of Teddy Roosevelt from the Henry Street Settlement House, not only brought Teddy Roosevelt to power, but effected fundamental changes in the internal and foreign policy of the United States. Instead of having as our friends and allies, Germany, the faction of Alexander II and Witte in Russia, the Meiji Restoration forces in Japan, these became our enemies. And, our former enemies in London and within France, the faction of Napoleon III, became our new allies. Against Russia -- although we allied with Russia against Germany later -- Teddy Roosevelt's friends in the grain cartel and elsewhere, were active not only in suporting radical groups for the overthrow of the Czar, but in collaborating with the government of Lenin and Trotsky in the earliest period, to help build up the institutions of Bolshevik power, and to enter into partnerships with the new Bolshevik powers. That was a big change! The domestic changes included the following. TR wanted to crack political opposition in the United States, and for this purpose, he wanted to create a national police force like that of France's Napoleon III. He retained as his Attorney General, Charles Bonaparte, who was a nephew of Napoleon III, and he created a national police force called the National Bureau of Investigation, the predecessor of the FBI. Later on, Roosevelt was crucial, in collaboration with the backers of Woodrow Wilson (who was a like-minded scoundrel), in giving us two other institutions: the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal income tax system. Without the collaboration between Teddy Roosevelt and Wilson, these would never have occurred. And thus, the United States was placed under the control of a debt system in which our national finance and banking was at the mercy of private interests, to loot us almost as they will. This arrangement, or rearrangement, of the political map brought the United States into World War I, a war whose purpose was to further Britain's fear of Continental economic development, by playing one nation of the Continent against one another in bloddy war (even with a lot of British sacrifice thrown in to facilitate that); and to allow Britain to go on, with the collaboration of its new junior partner, the United States, to establish a new, one-world empire in the image of the Roman Empire. For that purpose, the victorious Allies, the Anglo-Americans and their French political catamite partners, established the Treaty of Versailles and its institutions at the end of World War I -- including the League of Nations, which was supposed to gradually put into place this new, one-world empire. Well, that didn't work out too well. The Great Depression, and other events, intervened. GRAPHIC: George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, by Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin LAROUCHE: As this carefully researched book documents the facts, in 1932-1933, this British group and its friends in New York City, put Adolf Hitler into power in Germany. Let's emphasize: Adolf Hitler did not come to power because the German people put him into power, but because the Anglo-American occupying powers which controlled Germany's finances, put him into power. In point of fact, in 1932, an international conference on eugenics was held, sponsored by the mother of Averill Harriman, and others, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. This conference was addressed by Hitler's personal race theorist, Ernst Rudin. At the end of that conference, Ernst Rudin was elected unanimously president of the International Federation of Eugenics Societies, and Mrs. Harriman and others stated, that they admired the Nazi Party because of those racial purification dogmas presented by Ernst Rudin. GRAPHIC: "It is unfortunate that the anti-Nazi propaganda with which all countries have been flooded has gone far to obscure the correct understanding and the great importance of the German racial policy." (from an article titled "The German Racial Policy" by Dr. C.G. Campbell, Honorary President of the Eugenics Research Association, in the March-April, 1936 issue of Eugenical News) So, they knew what they were doing. This led to war, World War II. There's no need to go into the details of that. The point is: during the last years of World War II, the Allies -- Britain, the United States, and Moscow -- set up a series of institutions, constituting a new set of Versailles agreements. Throughout the postwar peiod following World War II, the United States and Britain operated on the basis of what were called, generically, the Yalta agreements. That is, despite the conflicts, including the threat of thermonuclear war, between the Soviet Empire and the Anglo-Americans throughout most of this period, at all times, there was a back-channel relationship, to such effect (as Henry Kissinger, for example emphasized a number of times) that whenever Moscow, together with London and Washington, would come to an agreement on world policy, the rest of the world had to obey. So, there was a kind of condominium in effect, all through this period. That process came to an end, beginning late November, 1989, when a sequence of events was unleased which led to the crumbling of the Berlin Wall, and led to the crumbling of what Winston Churchill had called, the Iron Curtain. "After the Wall Fell" LAROUCHE: The policy fight had begun even before the Wall collapsed, or even before most people around the world knew it was going to collapse. The policy fight began with my address at the Kempinski Hotel on Columbus Day, October 12, 1988: "Under proper conditions, many today will agree the time has come for early steps toward the re-unification of Germany, with the obvious prospect that Berlin might resume its role as the nation's capitol." A year later, the Wall came down, at which time, I introduced a program for a world-wide economic recovery, a program based on using the economic potential of Central Europe, the so-called "economic productive triangle," to regenerate economic growth in Eurasia -- very much along the lines which Count Witte had desired at the end of the last century and the early part of this century. GRAPHIC: "The Paris-Berlin-Vienna Triangle: Locomotive of the World Economy -- Lyndon LaRouche's Program for Reversing the World Depression" (pamphlet) LAROUCHE: Had that program been adopted, as many sympathized with it and were working to have it adopted, we would be in an economic recovery, not a depression, today. Around Margart Thatcher madmen, like Connor Cruise O'Brien and Nicholas Ridley, we began to hear the words, "a Fourth Reich," and how Germany must be stopped from engaging in ventures in which German economic power, with or without France, might play a large role in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. In order to assist in stopping programs like the Triangle program, which I had proposed, from being implemented, friends of Kisinger, such as Britain's Lord Carrington, or the State Department's Lawrence Eagleburger, unleashed their Serbian military puppets to enact genocide and other war crimes on other sections of the population of the former nation of Yugoslavia, thus creating a Balkan ulcer of war, which threatens to destroy Central Europe and much more within. For the same reason, the same geopolitical reason, that the British had orchestrated the creation of World War I, and that Anglo-Americans, by putting Hitler into power in Germany, had created the preconditions for World War II, these madmen, typified by Kissinger cronies Carrington and Eagleburger, with their Balkan adventures, were back to World War I drafting boards, starting another world war -- of little wars in the Transcaucusus, the Balkans, Central Asia, and elsewhere, with potential nuclear implications, spreading and spreading throughout the world, until the whole world itself, under conditions of depression, might be engulfed in war. The worst depression of this century is in full swing. We having spreading wars in the Balkans, Transcaucusus, Central Asia. And, we're at the verge of movement to a change of government which might be a hard-line development around Moscow in the very near future. This all is the result of the horrible mismanagment of the post-1989 period, by the U.S. and British governments, chiefly. Thus, the legacy of this statue of racist, treasonous, Satanic Albert Pike, still influences the domestic and foreign policy shaping of Washington, DC. If we do not root out of our republic, the treason, the corruption, the degerneracy which Albert Pike and his collaborators and followers represent, there is no chance that the United States will prevail as a nation, either in its domestic affairs, or its foreign affairs. Unless we act now, to reject all lesser evils which compromise with what this statue symbolizes, there is no hope that the United States will escape the kind of Hell which world famine, world disease, spreading war, and economic depression generally, portend.
