Larouche's Executive Intelligence Review - Nov.28,08.

In Lyndon LaRouche’s “Nov. 11 Resolution” (EIR, Nov. 21) he presented
the indispensable measures to be taken in the face of the now
hopelessly bankrupt world monetary system. LaRouche issued this resolution
as a discussion document for a private meeting to be held on that
date, in Washington, with a satellite meeting in New York City, and
identified the period between Nov. 11-19, as decisive for forcing a
change in policy, at least among a leading group representing the institution
of the U.S. Presidency. During that nine-day period, in addition to
the Nov. 11 meeting, LaRouche gave an international webcast on Nov.
18, the transcript of which is our Feature this week; and a second private
meeting on Nov. 19 (his opening remarks are also transcribed in this
issue (National). During this brief, but crucial time period, LaRouche
shook the world, as can be seen, in part, by the participation of members
of President-elect Obama’s transition team in the discussion following
the webcast, and by the questions and comments pouring in from across
the globe.
But, we are far from being out of the woods. As LaRouche notes in
a statement issued Nov. 22, the 45th anniversary of the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy, “The British will attempt to assassinate
President-elect Obama.” But isn’t this the same Obama whom LaRouche
charged, during the campaign, with being a tool of London? For sure.
But, he is no longer useful to them. They need a Mussolini, a Hitler—or
at least a Schacht (see Economics), and Obama doesn’t have the temperament.
He might, even, under the influence of the institution of the
Presidency, begin to adopt FDR-LaRouche-style recovery policies.
Thus, the danger that he will be assassinated during the transition period,
between now and Jan. 20, 2009, is extremely high. With their system
crumbling, the Brutish empire is desperate to crush the most powerful
nation-state in the world, once and for all. The chaos that would follow
an assassination would provide precisely those conditions needed to
impose dictatorship in a U.S. still under the reign of Bush-Cheney.
Our best remedy in such times, is Classical art, because through the
use of irony, Classical art forces you to consider something new. With
this in mind, we offer an excerpt from Boccaccio’s Decameron (History),
in which the poet, following in the footsteps of Dante, ironically
examines the collapse of 14th-Century Europe into a Dark Age.
