LaRouche to the conference "A New Paradigm for the Survival of Civilization" in
Frankfurt, Germany, April 13-14. Mike Billington
The Strategic View from the United States
by Lyndon H.
LaRouche, Jr.
There's a
certain element of short but sweet in what I have to say. It may be sweet for
some people, but not for others. It's sweet for me, because it's the truth. And
it's a truth which is generally not recognized at all; and therefore, the truth
that is not recognized at all is inherently the most beautiful of them
all.
We're in a
situation now, where, in point of fact, especially in the Americas, and in
Europe and Africa, for example, mankind is in the greatest danger of virtual
extinction of the species ever known to us in historical times. There may have
been prehistorical periods which are legendary, shall we say, as opposed to
historical, but never before, since those prehistorical times, has mankind ever
faced a danger to the human species as great as the world as a whole faces
today.
The center of
that problem lies between Europe and North America. All the other regions of the
other nations are simply secondary. They are not the principal drivers, nor do
they provide the solution for the situation.
The key to
understanding this is to shock a number of you, especially those who are
European, as to what the situation is today. Everybody knows, I think, in Europe
and beyond, that we have a great hyperinflationary financial crisis, and that
populations are being starved, probably starved to death, in great numbers, in
various parts of this part of the world. And they're doomed, unless the solution
to this problem is identified and understood.
Mankind is on
the verge of a quasi-extinction. This is not something "down the line." This is
something in the immediate future. It's a problem which must be identified now,
correctly; it's a problem which is not understood in most parts of Europe; it's
little understood in the United States, though in the United States we have a
better understanding than anyone else does. This system is about to go into a
collapse.
A Doomsday Sign
Now, there's
an intention behind this. The intention has been bespoken by the Queen of
England, who considers herself the Empress of the world—and to a large degree
she is. Europe, for example: Western and Central Europe are nothing but puppets
of the British Empire. You don't have nation-states any more. You don't have
sovereignty any more. You have a system, and the system is run essentially from
London. And if their system continues, and is not defeated, the power of the
British Empire over Europe, or most of Europe, most of Western and Central
Europe, the power over the United States, right now, means that the doom that is
threatened, seems to be almost inevitable.
The
hyperinflation which has struck Europe and the United States,
simultaneously—it's a Doomsday sign. And the rate of production of necessities
is falling, and it's falling at an accelerating rate, and will continue to fall
at an accelerating rate, as long as this trans-Atlantic system of power
continues.
And no one in
Europe has a chance, now, of doing much about it. Because they're all tied in,
so heavily, to the so-called euro system. The euro system is a mass suicide
system of the unwilling.
Now, what's
wrong? Why is this hyperinflation—and this is a hyperinflation which makes what
happened in Germany in 1923 a simple problem—this is the virtual extinction!
Now, the British Empress, the Queen of England, has specified—we had this series
of discussions involving Copenhagen,[1]
at one point; it was shifted from there, and the British Queen went off in a
different direction. It now has gone with a program of explicit genocide, mass
genocide. Specifically. She's said it not on one occasion; she's said it
repeatedly. She emphasizes it today. It's the policy of the President of the
United States today—it's a policy of genocide against the trans-Atlantic
population, in particular.
And it's a
very efficient genocide. If not stopped, it will kill. What her goals are: The
immediate prospect is to reduce the world's population from 7 billion people, to
somewhat in the order of magnitude of 1 or 1.2 billion people. That's her
policy.
That policy
is being implemented throughout Europe, especially Western and Central Europe.
That policy is being implemented inside the United States itself; a policy of
deliberate genocide has been specified by the Queen of England and her puppet,
the President of the United States, has now declared his support for that
policy. We're going to have the greatest rate of accelerated death in
the United States coming on, if this President remains President.
The policy is
not his. The policy is hers. She bought and paid for him, with
drug money, a vast flood of drug money which was used to secure his election as
President of the United States.
He carried
out that kind of program all the way through. He carried it out in the form of
warfare. What happened in Libya; what is spreading into Syria; what is
threatening throughout all of Africa; what is going on in the Middle East; what
the threats are to Russia—all these things—the threats to China now. All these
things are being done by her, chiefly through her instrument, the current
President of the United States, who's nothing but her stooge, for
her!
That's what
we face.
Beating the Money Game
Now, how do
we deal with this? They have an argument. The argument is, we've got a money
problem. And we've got to solve the money problem: "We've got to be nice to
money, even if it means being mean to people. Even if it means killing them!"
And that is exactly what the policy is of the current President of the United
States. He has not gotten it voted up yet, but that's his policy. That's his
intention. His intention is genocide against a major part of the
population of the United States, as well of Europe.
So, unless we
can solve this little mystery, of what's the money game, then we're not going to
solve the problem.
So,
therefore, I've come to that particular point. What is the problem? Why are
Europeans so stupid as to put up with this? Why are European governments more
stupid than the people? Naturally, they're more stupid—that's how they got to be
governments. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed into government, if they
hadn't been stupid, malleable.
There's only
one solution, and that solution is Glass-Steagall. But most people
don't know what Glass-Steagall is. They think it's a new kind of adjustment
system. No. Glass-Steagall is the fundamental law of the United States.
Glass-Steagall is the name given to that law, at a specific time in
history.
It was not
just the United States. It was the forerunners of the United States. This is
something that comes out of Nicholas of Cusa, for example, and his great
influence, and the great scientific development which occurred, that was then
destroyed largely, by periods of great warfare, in Europe, in particular. Civil
war.
Columbus was
a follower of Nicholas of Cusa, who said the solution is to leave Europe, and go
across the oceans to the people of other parts of the world, and build up a
civilization, a global human civilization, which will make it possible for all
parts of humanity to enjoy what human beings are, and should be allowed to
be.
We had
religious war. What did this lead to? Well, Columbus's expedition didn't work
out too well; the original Columbian settlement, the middle Mexican settlement,
these things worked out fairly well. But they were destroyed under the influence
of the oligarchical system.
So, then you
had this thing that came from a few Dutch, a few French, a few British, Irish,
and so forth, and they came over across the water into the North American
continent, as well as the South American continent. And in the United States, in
particular, in that area we made two efforts to solve the problem which Europe
faced, as a result of this situation.
They said,
let's leave Europe. Let's get some people out of Europe. Because it is
impossible to solve this problem in Europe. And it never has been solved.
It just vibrated back and forth. Some progress was made, but things became
weaker and weaker and weaker.
Well, we had
something that worked out in Massachusetts, finally, in that century, the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. Now the Massachusetts Bay Colony was an act of genius.
It created the economic system on which the United States was based.
Now the
Massachusetts Bay Colony was crushed by the Venetian party, so-called, the same
Venetian party that destroyed the independence of the Britons, and made them
slaves of the New Venetian slavery system. And so, the new slavery system came
into North America, into Massachusetts, where we had had the first economic
system on which the United States was based.
We then got
into a war with Britain, which had been taken over by the New Venetian Party.
And Britain had become an empire, during the middle of that [18th]
century.
At that
point, in the middle of the century, the people in North America, including some
of my ancestors, had set forth on a new system of economy, a revival of the same
system as the Massachusetts Bay Colony's system. And it worked. And there was
one man who actually figured out how to make the principle work, and he was, of
course, Alexander Hamilton [1755/57-1804], whose brain designed the American
System, the only competent system that solves this kind of problem.
Then the
effort was made which succeeded.
But then we
were crushed. The British, in particular, were constantly trying to get us to
crush our new republic. We had a few great leaders in this republic, initial
leaders in this republic. And then we had another group; and then they were
crushed in turn. We were crushed again; we were crushed by a British
intervention in what was called the Civil War of the United States. We came out
of that successfully, but then we were betrayed again by British intervention,
British imperial intervention.
