We Can No Longer Operate as We Have Before

The following strategic assessment comes directly from Lyndon LaRouche:

We have a mission orientation which is tied to the threat of thermonuclear war. As of the latest international intelligence we have, Wall Street is hopelessly bankrupt. There’s no way that you can justify the continued existence of Wall Street; there’s nothing there. It’s going bankrupt. What it’s doing, is it’s using the ability to declare a bankrupt institution as an asset. How? By saying “we run it.” “We,” Wall Street, runs it. So they’re insisting that a hyperinflationary float occurs on behalf of Wall Street, which will bankrupt the United States, bankrupt the people of the United States totally, bankrupt Wall Street itself, and lead to the worst Dark Age you could imagine,— leading directly into international warfare, thermonuclear warfare.

The gimmick on this thing is, that if, as is intended, by Wall Street and London, they go to thermonuclear war soon, soon,— not down the line, not possibly,—soon. Why is it soon? Because the British and similar forces, have no option. You cannot have a hyperinflationary growth of useless claims to money, which are getting more and more bankrupt. There’s no possible way.

So, we have to take charge right now. We have to send down Wall Street. What we did this past week, is in that direction. That’s the direction we’re going in. We’re going to bankrupt these bastards. How? By declaring the fact that they’re bankrupt. Therefore you have to organize people in the political process, to say, “We’re not going to sustain those debts. Wall Street is going to be written down to what it’s worth.” And the more they examine it, the faster and deeper the problem becomes. Because just thinking about it will make things go worse. And that’s what’s happening. It’s an absolutely hopeless situation.

You have this irony now, as the Russians have pointed out. Their policy is what? The United States and Britain are committed to launch war on Russia. Well, what happens then? In that case, the U.S. forces are making a mass attack of all forces on a time basis. What’s going to happen? Russia will wait a short period of time, until all of these forces, or most of them, have been committed to action. At that point, Russia will attack those attacking forces on a predetermined basis. And we’re in that situation already. There’s no way that Wall Street can survive except by playing that kind of game.

So we’re not talking about just reforming political economy. We’re going to destroy the form of economy we have now. And we play the fact up, that if the United States wants to have a unified launch against Russia, they’re screwed. Because Russia then has the ability to choose how it deploys its forces; and that screws everything up.

So we’re in a situation where, with this kind of reality now given to us,— put on the platter, so to speak,— we can no longer operate as we have operated, as most people in the United States have operated, heretofore. It can no longer be done. Because what you have is China, Russia, and other nations,— but China and Russia in particular, are the leading nations for the strikeback against Britain and the United States in particular, if an attack occurs. That means that Russia and China will be given a moment of opportunity, a last opportunity, to decide when and how a launch will occur,— and then it will be too late for the United States.
