Obama Is the Detonator for World War III

16 The Obama Murders EIR May 1, 2015
April 27—Developments over the past ten days provide
a devastating reminder that, as long as Barack
Obama remains in office as President, the world stands
on the edge of general war, a war that could quickly
become a war of thermonuclear extinction.
A series of warnings and alarming events indicate
how close the “unsurvivable” is coming:
• the solemn warning jointly written by high-ranking
retired American and Russian generals, “How To
Avoid a Nuclear War,” published April 19 by the New
York Times;
• the warnings that nuclear war is threatening,
issued by the top Russian military officials at the
Moscow Security Conference;
• the changes being made by the U.S. Joint Strike
Command which blur the distinction between nuclear
and conventional weapon use across all platforms of
the Command;
• Obama’s full military backing for a new war
launched by Saudi Arabia against Yemen, which is intended
to stage a general war confrontation against Iran;
• the start of U.S. military training for Ukraine
forces that incorporate openly Nazi anti-Russian units.
The British Going Wild
The issue is not Obama per se. He is a degenerate
patsy of the British Empire and allied Wall Street forces,
which are currently being driven mad by the reality that
their trans-Atlantic financial system is doomed, and
that an alternative paradigm, centered in the China/
Russia-led emerging BRICS system, is coming into
being. The forces which have owned Obama, since they
launched his political career decades ago, are ready to
start World War III, rather than surrender their power.
Lyndon LaRouche warned on April 21 that “we are
on the verge of virtual extinction, as the result of chainreaction
effects of this situation.” The refusal of the
British and Wall Street to surrender their failing grip on
power will drive them, in desperation, to have Obama
launch World War III. “This is the first threat of human
extinction in modern history,” LaRouche concluded.
He further observed, that the mere fact that Obama
has not yet been removed from office, is the clearest
warning that leading American circles, and the American
people as a whole, no longer possess the temperament
to stop this disaster from occurring. Remove
Obama from the Presidency, and the danger is removed.
The British will remain hysterical over the imminent
demise of their empire, but they will be rendered powerless
to act. The bankruptcy of the trans-Atlantic
system means the death of the British Empire.
Russian vitality has returned, and China is emerging
as a friendly, but dominant force in Asia, promoting a
policy of “win-win” cooperation among all of the nations
of the region and across Eurasia. This alone is
driving the British wild.
It is vital to comprehend these motives behind the
war danger. The day-by-day events are merely markers
of that process—warning signs along the road to potential
doom.
The Threat of Extinction
The Fourth Moscow International Security Conference
on April 18-19 made clear that Russian leaders
clearly understand the imminent danger of thermonuclear
war. It was the dominant theme of the major conference
presentations by Russia’s Defense Minister
Sergei Shoigu, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and
Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. The audience
and speakers list included the ministers of defense
of all of key Eurasian nations: China, India, Iran, Pakistan,
North Korea, Greece, Iran, Indonesia, Mongolia,
Serbia, and Belarus, plus South Africa.
Lavrov made clear in his remarks that the U.S. and
NATO deployment of the anti-ballistic missile systems
to areas bordering on Russia constitutes a threat of a firststrike
attack on Russia. President Obama had claimed
that the ABM systems were directed at Iran, not at Russia,

and that the deployment would be re-assessed if a P5+1
deal on Iran’s nuclear program were reached. Now that
such a deal is within reach, Obama has refused to scale
back or cancel the ABM deployments, which will place
vital components of the missile defense shield in Romania
and Poland, near Russia’s borders.
In an unprecedented recognition of the threat of nuclear
armageddon, two leading retired generals—from
the United States and Russia—produced a joint op-ed
in the New York Times of April 19, headlined “How To
Avert a Nuclear War.” Gen. James E. Cartwright
(USMC-ret.), former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command;
and Gen. Vladimir Dvorkin (ret.), former head
of the research institute for Russia’s Strategic Rocket
Forces, warned that the breakdown of communications
between Washington and Moscow, since the Ukraine
coup of February 2014, has increased the risk of thermonuclear
war.
More Provocations for Mass Kill
The Obama Administration is taking other provocative
actions that illustrate this point. The U.S. is expanding
and radically altering its Global Strike Command,
by reintegrating B-1 long-range bombers, to
incorporate both conventional weapons and strategic
nuclear weapons. In addition, the Administration is developing
a new generation of tactical nuclear weapons,
to be forward based in Europe and deployable on longrange
stealth bombers and drones, armed with cruise
missiles.
These two actions blur the lines between nuclear and
conventional warfare, greatly increasing the prospects of
the use of nuclear weapons in Eurasia.
They corrrespond to plans for a
first strike on Russia, using a combination
of conventional, nuclear, and
missile defense capabilities to survive
a nuclear war. While this is the
greatest folly imaginable, it is precisely
what is behind the plans.
While taking these steps towards
potential thermonuclear
confrontation in the heart of Eurasia,
the British and Obama are simultaneously
pursuing permanent
population wars in the Persian Gulf
and elsewhere.
The situation in the Persian
Gulf, where the same Saudi forces that ran the 9/11 attacks
against the United States—attacks that have been
covered up by two successive Presidents, Bush and
Obama—are engaging in a population war against
neighbor Yemen, claiming that Houthi rebels there are
surrogates for Iran. This is another flashpoint for imminent
war.
When the P5+1 breakthrough was announced at the
beginning of the month in Switzerland, LaRouche
warned that the agreement would be a trigger for war—
unless the Saudis were smashed. Instead, Obama joined
forces with the Saudis in the bombing campaign against
Yemen, over the strong objections of the U.S. Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the Central Command.
As the Gulf of Aden filled with Saudi and American
warships, in the past week, including the aircraft carrier
USS Theodore Roosevelt, and Obama threatened actions
against Iranian commercial vessels en route to Yemen,
intense pressure from the U.S. military and other circles
led the Saudis to announce a halt to their bombing campaign
late on April 21. Earlier in the day, King Salman
had put the Saudi National Guard on alert for possible
ground operations across the border into Yemen. The circumstances
of the last-moment freeze in operations are
still to be sorted out, but the fact remains that the region
was headed towards a “Gulf of Tonkin” type provocation
for war, that was only halted at the last moment—and has
already been resumed on a limited scale.
The doom of civilization is not inevitable. But it is
virtually a certainty unless Obama is removed from
office. He is the detonator for world war, and his prompt
removal is the only legitimate war-prevention option at
this late date.
