Lyndon LaRouche stated today: “If anything happens to prominent Ukrainian economist and former Member of the Ukrainian Parliament Natalia Vitrenko, US. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland must be held responsible. With the full backing of President Barack Obama, Nuland has knowingly installed a Nazi government in Ukraine. That government, through the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), with the knowing support of Nuland, is now carrying out a Nazi campaign of defamation against Vitrenko, which is setting her up for possible assassination, because she has criticized the Nazi take-over of her own nation.”

The evidence is overwhelming that Nuland, on behalf of Obama, has imposed a Nazi regime in Ukraine, beginning with the installation Prime Minister Arseni “Yats” Yatsenyuk, who said on German television that the Nazi invasion never occurred—that it was only the Soviet Union that occupied Ukraine.

Since then, SBU head Valentyn Nalyvaychenko announced on April 1 that the model for his agency is Stepan Bandera’s Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Ukrainian Insurgent Army (OUN-UPA), which collaborated with the Nazis during their invasion of the Soviet Union. Nalyvaychenko is associated with the Banderite Trident (Tryzub) organization, a core component of the Right Sector.

On April 6, Dmytro Yarosh, the Nazi leader of the Ukrainian Right Sector, was named as an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army. On April 9, the Ukrainian Parliament passed a bill identifying members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the OUN as “independence fighters.” Ukrainian President Poroshenko also stated falsely on April 9 that “Hitler, together with Stalin, initiated the bloody fighting of World War II.”

This is the government which Victoria Nuland installed in Ukraine with the full backing of Barack Obama.

There can be no mistake about this. The US military is now being deployed to Ukraine by Obama to provide military training to the Ukrainian National Guard, which consists primarily of the Nazi Right Sector.

The Ukraine Crisis Media Center (UCMC), one of Victoria Nuland’s pet Nazi operations, funded by the National Endowment for Democracy and the U.S. Embassy, is circulating flyers calling on people to inform on anyone who opposes the Kiev regime. They are encouraged to call a hotline of the SBU.

When you back Nazis, as Nuland does with Obama’s backing, that makes you a Nazi.

As LaRouche stated: “The present government of Ukraine is dominated by Nazis.. The current plot against Natalia Vitrenko is a murder plot. Anyone in the U.S. Congress or in Europe who does not deal with this is complicit.”

“As a veteran of World War II, I have committed my entire adult life to defeating fascism. On the 70th anniversary of the defeat of fascism, Obama and his assistant, Nuland, are deliberately betraying our sacrifice by backing Nazis.

“Where are the other patriots who once said Never Again?”

In a hard-hitting article published Sunday by conservative writer Paul Sperry, the New York Post exposes the FBI’s coverup of the Saudi role in 9-11, starting with the FBI’s self-review of its own 9-11 investigation that was released March 25 as the “Final Report of the 9/11 Review Commission,” which finds that the FBI did a fine job of investigating the attack, and that the Saudis had no role in it.

Sperry focuses on the case of Sarasota, Florida, in which a wealthy, well-connected Saudi family, the al-Hijjis, “just 15 days before the 9/11 attacks,… suddenly abandoned their luxury home in Sarasota, Fla., leaving behind jewelry, clothes, opulent furniture, a driveway full of cars—including a brand new Chrysler PT Cruiser—and even a refrigerator full of food. About the only thing not left behind was a forwarding address. The occupants simply vanished without notifying their neighbors, realtor, or even mail carrier.”

FBI “Agents identified persons of interest in the case, establishing their ties to other terrorists, sympathies with Osama bin Laden, and anti-American remarks. They looked into their bank accounts, colleges, and places of employment. They tracked at least one suspect’s re-entry into the U.S. The Saudi-9/11 connection in Florida was no small part of the overall 9/11 investigation. Yet it was never shared with Congress. Nor was it mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report.

“The review panel highlighted one local FBI report generated from the investigation that said Abdulaziz and Anoud al-Hijji, the prominent Saudi couple who ‘fled’ their home, had ‘many connections to individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.’

“But: ‘The FBI told the Review Commission that the communication was “poorly written” and “wholly unsubstantiated”,’ the panel noted in its 128-page report. ‘When questioned later by others in the FBI, the special agent who wrote (it) was unable to provide any basis for the contents of the document or explain why he wrote it as he did.’

“How strange,” writes Sperry. “Yet panelists did not interview the unidentified agent for themselves. They just accepted headquarters’ impeachment of his work.

“Odder still, the agent’s report was just one of many other FBI communications detailing ties between the Saudi family and the hijackers. In fact, the Tampa office of the FBI recently was ordered to turn over more than 80,000 pages of documents, filling some 27 boxes, from its 9/11 investigation to a federal judge hearing a Freedom of Information Act case filed by local journalists over the Sarasota angle. The judge is sorting through the boxes to determine which documents should remain classified. Most are marked ‘SECRET/NOFORN,’ meaning no foreign nationals—a classification reserved for highly sensitive materials.”

Sperry ends with an appeal for declassification of the secret 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9-11, on foreign (read: Saudi) involvement, as called for by its co-authors, including former Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, and by H Res 14 of Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC), and Stephen Lynch (D-MA).

In the midst of the California drought emergency, the huge multinational Nestlé, seller of bottled water to the world, is providing one example of what must be stopped. Gov. Jerry Brown—while cutting public water use 25% by order in Sacramento, as in the rest of the state—has placed no limitation on Nestlé’s withdrawal of fresh water from aquifer springs nearby. Nestlé (alias here: the Arrowhead Mountain Water Company) continues to draw water at an 80 million gallon/year rate, paying 2 or 3 cents per gallon; it bottles the water in Sacramento, and sells it for roughly $16 per gallon-equivalent to the city’s population which has had its tap water use restricted.

This comes under the worldview of Nestlé’s Austrian CEO Peter Brabeck, expressed in 2011 at Davos as follows:

“For the sustainability of … humankind, the most important issue is water…. We will be running out of water long before we are running out of oil.”

“NGOs, in a simplistic manner, are saying, ‘Water is a human right; therefore, it’s not a commercial utility.’ My answer to this is, ‘Yes, you’re right. Water is a human right. The 25 liters of water [about 5 gallons—ed.] that you need as a minimum in order to live, is a human right. That’s a few liters for cleaning, a few liters for drinking, daily hydration and minimum hygiene…. But beyond that, this is not a human right.

“We need 25 liters of water per day. But we are using — in the United States — 400 liters per capita per day. So this 380 liters, I don’t think this is a human right, and this should have a price. Why? Because if you do not put a price, we will not make the investments which are necessary in order to use the most precious of resources in a more responsible manner….

“If you do not give a value to the water, those [infrastructure] investments are not going to be made, because nobody has an interest to invest, because you don’t have an economic return…. If the water has at least a decent price, the investment can be made.”

The clear “smell” emanating from Brabeck’s statement is the basic reason for privatization of water: Raising the price of water (always done in privatization, as shown below) differentially hits poorer water users, some of whom will lose access to water, food, or hygiene, and become ill or malnourished, or die.

Population reduction is the raison d’etre of privatization.

This oligarch’s monstrous claim—that 1% of current water use is a “right” which should be provided by governments, and that the availability of the other 99% of use should depend on its price—has two gross lies embedded in it. The first is being proven by Nestlé in Sacramento every day. It is using the natural water supplies of the area, not responsibly, but extremely wastefully, because it can bring a high price in private sale. This, in a word, is the story of privatized water systems all over the world during the past 30 years. The high price cuts off the access and perhaps the lives of lower-income people, while wasting the water.

Brabeck’s second lie concerns the human race. He claims that mankind does not invest time and resources into scientific and technological progress—expressed as new infrastructure—unless it commands a high money price for private investors. The extraordinary water supply and management infrastructure of the American West—built for the most part through the Bureau of Reclamation, Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps, Army Corps of Engineers, and continued through the period of JFK’s Presidency as by then-California Gov. Pat Brown—proves this is false. What we are going to do to revolutionize water management around the Pacific Rim in the future, proves it is false. And water privatization’s history of failures proves it is false.

by LPAC Policy Member and former candidate for U.S. Congress in California, Michael Steger

The dust bowls of the thirties will be no comparison. Farmers in the Central Valley are targeted as criminals, threatened with terrorism against their farms. The forgotten urban and suburban populations, as well as the poor farm communities throughout the state, face food shortages and skyrocketing food prices. There are now public showers to save water, itself eerily reminiscent of fascism—and what will happen when those showers no longer have water? What will happen when those poor towns can no longer afford the water rates? When Wall Street firms, represented by the Bush family, or T. Boone Pickens, or Jerry Brown make water a private commodity— who will die first?

There are Nazis in Sacramento, and it’s not only Arnie or Jerry— it could be you.

The swastikas were not hanging on the door, nor in the room. He was seated at his desk surrounded by past legislation, diligently working, we assumed, on the water crisis. Yet there was something unusual about his expression. We said we had a solution to the water crisis, that we had an immediate political approach, as well as a scientific program that could solve the water crisis in California. He was intrigued, and so we sat down, still uncertain of what it was that was so unusual about his expression, framed as it was by his shaggy hair which fell in bunches over his collar.

We had stopped by the office of the State Senate Committee for Natural Resources and Water earlier in the day, and were told to return later, when Mr. O’Connor, the Principal Consultant, was available. The rest of the day was filled with typical discussions with staff and legislators in Sacramento. Most were clueless. The few offices from the Central Valley with whom we spoke were either overconfident of their meek proposals, such as a new dam in 2025, or were unwilling to address what they all knew to be true, that there were Nazis in Sacramento! Not merely Nazis, but the most vile Nazis.

So, we returned, and found Mr. O’Connor at his desk.

We proceeded with our two-part solution. “First, Governor Brown’s proposal is a failure and he personally is a fraud. He played the dominant role in destroying his own father’s development of water resources of California, beginning in 1975 with his first term as Governor, and is now only finishing the job. He has no commitment to the people of California, nor has he ever, and until this is made clear, no solution to the water crisis will be possible.” Mr. O’Connor twinged, said he disagreed, but grunted something indicating we should proceed for now with our second point.

“Second,” we said, “the water crisis will not be solved by reducing carbon emissions. Shutting down coal plants will not make it rain. There have been droughts in California for millions of years, so this drought cannot be blamed on man-made global warming.”

Hoping to proceed with a proposal for what are man-made solutions, such as nuclear desalination and atmospheric ionization, we were suddenly taken aback. What had seemed to be the calm, yet peevish Dennis O’Connor, now transformed itself under our eyes, into a wild, ape-like creature. He sprang up from a cowering posture as if attacked from behind by a female gorilla, and motioned with wild gestures that we must be removed from his office. We were stunned, but we remained seated, hoping that our conversation could resume after this outburst somehow ended.

“Mr. O’Connor! Mr. O’Connor!” It was clear that he was barely able to hear what we said. His mind had been taken over by some demonic force, as it were. “Are you suggesting there were no droughts ten million years ago? Mr. O’Connor, please, calm down. Were there no droughts before mankind existed? We must solve the drought, Mr. O’Connor.”

His first understandable words after that sudden spasm, then burst forth with a strange, growling undertone: “This is harassment!” At the same time, his hands and arms were still flailing in wild gestures as if he were being swarmed by flies. “This is harassment, and you must leave or I will call the police.” Just what police he was referring to we were unsure, but clearly Mr. O’Connor was not well, and his expression, something about his eyes, was strangely disconcerting.

Frightened that Mr. O’Connor might not survive this episode, whatever it was, we quickly gathered up our papers and left the committee’s office. As we walked down the narrow hallway from his office to the exit door, the secretary’s face seemed frozen as if in fear. Had she ever seen this before? Yet on the wall, in the glass plane of a picture-frame, there was a reflection of Mr. O’Connor as he trailed behind us, breathing heavily, his face red with anger, and his back now so slumped over that his knuckles dragged along the floor. And still there was some uncanny expression in his eyes, but whatever it was, was too hard to make out in the reflection.

“Mr. O’Connor,” we tried once more, “You cannot possibly deny that there have been droughts over the last ten million years? This drought is not man-made, and we must create a solution.”

“Call the police!” he ordered the secretary, but which police we were still unsure.

“Mr. O’Connor, you are responsible for the effects of your policies! Millions will die. We must create more water, and we know how. You are responsible Mr. O’Connor,” and as I turned around, wanting to make this point directly to Mr. O’Connor’s face, I now saw for the first time, what I only now realized had been there from the very beginning.

His eyes, which had always had a peculiar spin to them, had, in the peak of this fit of rage, finally settled down,— and as I looked him in the eye, hoping to find whatever remained of Dennis O’Connor the bookish consultant, I could tell that he was now utterly lost.

I now saw, without a shred of doubt, that his eyes no longer consisted of black pupils and brown irises, but had become,— in his fit of ape-like terror, in this uncontrollable demonic-like episode,— the perfect images of two slowly-revolving swastikas. Suddenly pure evil was glaring back at me in total horror and fear.

For poor Mr. O’Connor had exposed to us, in what had seemed an honest scientific discussion, what may have been his best-kept secret, one kept secret even over forty years. And now, in just this one small encounter, he had exposed, as many others may in the halls of Sacramento, that he is a member of an elite Nazi brigade. You can call them the Brown Squirts.

It is fair to say that until they are removed, California and the nation will not be safe. However, this drought may be their last, as we, who have sat in fear of these ape-like Nazis for far too long, may now recall the nation to its proper place of scientific and technological development. The likes of Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Pat Brown would have done no less.

The water exists, visit our “Managing the Global Water Supply” page.

Perhaps there is no future for Mr. O’Connor, and even less for poor Mr. Brown. But, for California, free of these Nazis, we have a remarkable future, as does our nation, as a member of a community of nations dedicated to mankind’s long future upwards path of development.

By LPAC Policy Committee member and former candidate for U.S. Congress, Michael Steger

The state of California is currently strangled by incompetent policy makers, from hapless fraudster Governor Gerry Brown – who has dedicated his life to destroying California’s water infrastructure and water resources, as well as the population generally – to Dennis E. O’Connor, principle consultant for the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water, who rabidly endorsed the myth of man-made climate change yet denies the scientific facts of severe droughts, as well as floods, which have ravaged the state of California since long before human science and industry became a factor, including the now reported, galaxy-based 32 million year Earth climatic cycle.

Are the leaders of California so afraid of such incompetent myths and fraudsters that they will tolerate a blatant disregard for real science and technology, a fraud that now threatens the lives of 38 million people and the food supply of a nation?

The scientific direction of our nation has been grossly misled by Governor Jerry “The Clown” Brown, and for over 40 years! By 1962, under the Presidency of John F. Kennedy, our nation was led by leaders such as Governor Pat Brown, who held a deep moral commitment towards the powers of science and technology to solve the great challenges of global development and human advancement. Now, today, California epitomizes the destruction of the U.S. economy.

What was once the leading state of the nation in scientific development in 1962, California is now reduced to desiccation and threatened with massive depopulation. Jerry Brown personally led the destruction, especially by reducing California’s water resource development during the 1970s, all while preaching his hippie version of Wall St. austerity, “Less is more.” Now out to finish the job he started, as quoted in the New York Times Sunday edition April 5, 2015, Brown is prepared to reduce the population of California by 99% to 300,000 people!

Clearly, less of Brown means potentially more water for all of us. Now we must access it.

As reported in the recent LaRouche PAC scientific report, recent developments in atmospheric science demonstrate solar and galactic factors in Earth’s climate and rainfall which have resulted in major periodic fluctuations on a global scale. Based on these considerations, and under new leadership for the state and with the new incoming Presidency, California and the national institutions must be mobilized for immediate research and development into key scientific and related areas to ensure the well being and development of the people of California and the nation for two generations or more ahead.

These areas include, but are not limited to:

Desalination, including nuclear desalination.

Fusion research for increased desalination rates, in addition to infinite other benefits.

Atmospheric ionization, including investments into current ionization techniques which have proven successful in Mexico, Australia, and the middle east, as well as international collaboration on atmospheric research on solar and galactic factors in cloud formation, precipitation, and climate changes more generally.

Mankind has the power to address the problems of drought, as much as famine or disease, by the powers of the human mind to grasp the higher principles governing our universe. As Johannes Kepler identified the harmonies governing the solar system, so can we identify the causes of the cycles of rainfall and climate that affect our development on Earth. This power of mankind, known as creativity, is an intrinsic principle governing the development of our solar system, our galaxy, and beyond, and it is the fundamental basis for a true human economy. Animals, left to their own devices, perish at the whims of the galaxy, but mankind can and must rise to the level of the stars, or else perish under the current Brown tyranny.

Most importantly, ideologues still clinging on to such fooleries as man-made climate change are facing near extinction. A new economic system now under development for the majority of the human race, instigated by the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and recently formalized with the BRICS New Development Bank and the China-initiated Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank, insists on basic human rights of development and progress through the powers of science, infrastructure, and technology, as the necessary role for the human species.

If we are to end the cycle of droughts and political failure, and address the higher underlying causes of climate and economy, the U.S. must join the BRICS nations and initiate a new century of global development. We must end the inhuman relics of the Brown period, and return to California’s greatest heritage of science, space exploration and cultural optimism.

Fortunately for mankind, when such commitments are not passed down from father to son, they remain still accessible, as if from the stars, as universal poetic conceptions by those of us committed to a higher mission for humankind.

Barack Obama had planned to use the Seventh Summit of the Americas, taking place today in Panama, to showcase a key element of the “legacy” he is said to be fashioning: U.S. rapprochement with Cuba, and Cuba’s participation in an inter-American conference for the first time since 1962, to be crowned with a brief meeting and handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro.

Instead, Obama went into the summit with the entirety of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and all of the continent’s regional organizations and allies—Unasur (Union of South American Nations), Celac (Commission of Latin American and Caribbean States), Alba (Alliance of Bolivarian States of the Americas), Petro Caribe, and the G77 + China—lined up against the United States. All of Ibero-America, including even “staunch allies” like Colombia, had denounced Obama’s insane March 9 Executive Order (EO) declaring Venezuela a “grave national security threat to the United States,” and the subsequent imposition of sanctions, as a gross intervention into Venezuela’s internal affairs, a violation of its sovereignty, and a threat to regional stability.

The continental response reflects Ibero-America’s and the Caribbean nations’ recognition that there is “another game in town,”—the BRICS global development paradigm—which frees them to challenge Obama’s imperial bludgeoning.

Leading into the summit, Obama tried to give the impression that he was “moderating” his stance. Secretary of State John Kerry sent State Department officer Tom Shannon to Caracas to meet with President Nicolas Maduro and Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez on April 7. Shannon is a respected, and decent career diplomat, but according to Argentina’s Pagina 12, the meeting “didn’t end well.” There was no response to Rodriguez’s demand that the U.S. rescind the EO and lift the sanctions.

Before leaving Washington, in an interview with Spanish news service EFE, Obama said he didn’t believe “that Venezuela poses a threat to the United States,” which many media spun as a sign of the U.S. backtracking. But instead of rescinding the EO, Obama went on to instruct Ibero-American nations to join with him in denouncing the “erosion of human rights” in Venezuela.

There was no evidence of a “softer” U.S. position at the April 9 foreign ministers meeting in Panama, to discuss the summit’s final declaration. At its conclusion, Argentina’s Foreign Minister Hector Timerman announced there would be no final declaration due to U.S. and Canadian opposition to proposed articles which called for expanding populations’ social rights, and granting the state a greater role in protecting these rights, in such areas as health, education, and labor.

PSPU Press Service statement

On April 9, 2015 the Darnytsky District Court in the City of Kiev began a preliminary hearing on charges brought against People’s Deputy of Ukraine of the 3rd and 4th convocations, leader of the opposition Ukrainian Labor Party Alexander Vasilyevich Bondarchuk.

Alexander Bondarchuk is charged under Article 110, Section 1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, “Infringement of the Territorial Integrity of Ukraine.” The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has applied this article because of two articles concerning the authorities possessed by Southeast Ukraine, published in the newspaper Rabochy Klass (Working Class), of which A. Bondarchuk is editor-in-chief. The accusation is constructed on expert analysis done by the SBU, concluding that the articles contained indirect infringement on the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

A. Bondarchuk has new defense lawyers, in the trial. The first motion they announced sought to release the political leader from the cage in which the accused sits. The court went into conference and, upon returning to the courtroom, announced a recess in the session until April 17, 2015. A. Bondarchuk told journalists that his rights to defense during preparation for trial have been grossly violated. For more than a week, his government lawyer failed to visit him. Newspapers have been withheld from him. He was notified of the April 9 court session at 23:15 on April 8.

A. Bondarchuk and his attorneys believe that the chief motive for the criminal prosecution of him is political.

PSPU Press Service statement

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is continuing political defamation against the left opposition party leader, People’s Deputy of Ukraine, and former Presidential candidate, Doctor of Economics Natalia Vitrenko. The latest piece of fakery was disseminated yesterday on the websites glavcom.ua and ukr.net.

The false accusation was embedded in the article’s headline, which declared: “Vitrenko Received 8 Million Rubles from Russian Minister Lavrov.” Further on, the motive for this defamation is disclosed: “Investigators suspect that these funds will be used for other purposes. In particular, that they will be used for propaganda work to discredit the Ukrainian government authorities, to provoke armed conflict between different layers of the population of Ukraine, to incite ethnic hatred, and to provide information support for conducting ‘referenda’ in Ukraine’s eastern regions.”

It is no accident, that this latest falsehood has been disseminated. The regime brought to power by the Euromaidan is discrediting itself through economic collapse, social genocide, corruption, and its inability to establish peace and preserve the territorial integrity of the country or realize the promised European values. Natalia Vitrenko has been interrogated twice at the SBU. She offered facts to prove that the “suspicions” are invalid and the statements false. But efforts to defame her and shape a negative view of her on the part of the public are continuing, through the media.

As for these suspicions, they are either the product of minds that are hallucinating, or of officials experiencing a bad hangover, or of fear over bearing ultimate responsibility for defaming and tarnishing the business reputation, both within the country and worldwide, of Ukrainian statesman and political figure Natalia Mikhailovna Vitrenko.

We demand that Glavkom and Ukr.net publish a retraction, in the form of publication of this statement form the PSPU Press Service.
