Today we are re-featuring our New Paradigm report from August 26th, —Global Warming Fraud is Population Reduction, not Science— to highlight the fraud of the current environmental hysteria now engulfing the planet, typified by the upcoming COP21 agenda. A rigorous discussion of atmospheric and galactic science underscores the necessity of passing our latest petition, A Resolution To Defend Billions of Lives: WE SAY NO TO PARIS COP21.

The US under Barack Obama is blatantly planning more provocations in the South China Sea like the one, last week, in which the destroyer USS Lassen sailed inside the 12 mile limit of territorial waters of an island over which China claims sovereignty. An unnamed U.S. defense official told Reuters yesterday that the US is planning to conduct two provocations in the South China Sea, about twice a quarter, “to remind China and other countries about U.S. rights under international law,” he said. “That’s the right amount to make it regular but not a constant poke in the eye. It meets the intent to regularly exercise our rights under international law and remind the Chinese and others about our view,” the official said.

Yi Xiaoguang, deputy chief of the general staff of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, on Monday urged the US “not to do things that undermine the big picture of the China-US relationship” when asked about potential future US Navy actions in the South China Sea. Yi told China Daily that China “will take all the necessary measures to champion national sovereignty.” About the future relationship between the two militaries, Yi suggested that they first “establish strategic mutual trust, boost understanding, and prevent misunderstanding and misjudgment.” He said the two militaries are expected to “respect each other’s national sovereignty and security concerns” and “make a solemn commitment on not provoking or making trouble out of nothing.”

US Pacific Command commander Adm. Harry Harris attempted to defend the US’s provocative actions in the South China Sea as defense of the principle of freedom of navigation, during a visit to Beijing, yesterday and today, but was rebuffed by his hosts. Both Fan Changlong, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, and Fang Fenghui, chief of general staff of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), protested the US action in their meetings with Harris, and warned that such provocations threaten China’s national security and the stability of the region.

“What has been unfolding lately is just like watching a self-orchestrated, self-directed, self-performed show,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying during a regular briefing on Tuesday. She estimated that 100,000 ships travel “safely and freely” through the South China Sea a year, including millions of barrels of oil per day. “They run into no problem at all,” she said.

As a further message, Chinese fighter jets, last weekend, flew training missions over the same area where the Lassen had passed through, according to an account in RT. The jets flew from an airstrip recently constructed on one of the islands in the region. Retired Chinese General Xu Guangyu commented, according to the South China Morning Post: “Both the defense ministry and foreign ministry have said China would have answers when its sea rights were breached. Such statements need to be followed by real actions. It’s a signal China sent to the US that it is serious about its claims. This is the minimum level of response China should have, or it will fail the expectation of its people.”

It wasn’t done by drones, but equally deadly economic and social policies carried out by the Bush and Obama administrations, under direct Wall Street orders, have led to a shocking, sharp increase in mortality rates among white, non-Hispanic Americans aged 45-54. That is the finding documented in a study issued in mid-September by two Princeton University economists, Anne Case and 2015 Nobel Economics Laureate Angus Deaton, which is now receiving widespread media attention nationally.

Case and Deaton further show that, if the mortality rate “had continued to decline at its previous (1979-1998) rate, half a million deaths would have been avoided in the period 1999-2013.” That is a half-million unnecessary deaths that belong right on the doorstep of Obama and Bush, and their Wall Street policies.

These findings serve to underscore Lyndon LaRouche’s repeated insistence that Obama’s policies are leading to sharply increased death rates in the American
population. LaRouche today further commented: Why didn’t we, as a nation, years back, take action to stop this from happening? How did people get set up to accept the economic policies of destruction of science and industry, along with endless bailouts of Wall Street? How were we induced to submit, to do this to ourselves?

Action must be taken immediately, LaRouche continued, to remove Obama from the Presidency by Constitutional means. Otherwise the Satanic Obama will continue to kill through economic policies, kill with his drone attacks, kill with further illegal wars and the stream of desperate refugees they are producing, and kill with threatened thermonuclear confrontation with Russia and China. Obama is not some kind of genius, LaRouche stated; he’s just Satanic, and has people terrorized, including most of the Congress of the United States. But if you don’t stand up to Obama and change his policies, you are incompetent—and will soon be a dead bunny.

The Case and Deaton study documents that from 1999 to 2014—the Bush and Obama years—the mortality rate among white non-Hispanic Americans aged 45-54 rose by more than 10%; the poorer, less-educated stratum within this age cohort saw a 22% rise in their mortality rate. “This change reversed decades of progress in mortality and was unique to the United States: no other rich country saw a similar turnaround,” the authors wrote. In fact, many countries (such as Germany and France) saw declines of 25% and 30% in mortality rates for the same age cohort during this same time period.

As shocking as the dramatic rise in the mortality rate as such, are its causes:

“This increase for whites was largely accounted for by increasing death rates from drug and alcohol poisonings, suicide, and chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis,”

the authors wrote, taking particular note of the skyrocketing use of opioid drugs and heroin among this age group. And they reached the following chilling conclusion:

“Those currently in midlife may be a ‘lost generation’ whose future is less bright than those who preceded them.”

This is a marker of a New Dark Age now sweeping the U.S. The headline on the Nov. 2 New York Times article covering this story was “Dying in Middle Age.” It
could well have been: “Dying in the Middle Ages.”
