On September 9, 2017 at 1 pm Eastern in NYC, EIR Magazine is hosting an event featuring two members of the VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity). Forensic studies of “Russian hacking” into Democratic National Committee computers last year reveal that on July 5, 2016, data was leaked (not hacked) by a person with physical access to DNC computers, and then doctored to incriminate Russia. After examining meta data from the “Guccifer 2.0” July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber investigators have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device, and that “telltale signs” implicating Russia were then inserted. -Excerpted from Memorandum to the President, From: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), July 24, 2017

Meet the Transaqua Project, a plan to replenish Africa’s dwindling Lake Chad, and bring the 30 million people who live in the Lake Chad basin, into the 21st century. The project, many decades in the making, is now moving forward, thanks in large part to a commitment from China.

In a long, Aug. 21 report on the newly increased prospects for the long-planned “Transaqua” great infrastructure project, to transform Lake Chad and sub-Saharan Africa, China’s Peoples Daily highlighted the role of Lyndon LaRouche and his movement. It also placed this crucial water and power project in the context of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, or “New Silk Road,” in which Helga and Lyndon LaRouche’s historic role was highlighted Aug. 20 by China Daily.

“Hopes have been revived for the 40 million people who depend on Lake Chad for their livelihoods,” People’s Daily wrote, “following the signing last June in Hangzhou, China, of a deal between Chinese construction giant, PowerChina, and the Italian firm, Bonifica Spa. However, the news was only made public at the beginning of this month.

“The agreement concerns the carrying out of feasibility studies on transferring 100 billion cubic metres of water per annum from River Congo in the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, to replenish the fast shrinking Lake Chad, a distance of 2,500 km. The project is also known as Transaqua. According to the website of Executive Intelligence Review, EIR magazine, the letter of intent was signed at a meeting between the executive of the two companies in the presence of the Italian Ambassador to China, Gabriele Menegatti.”

Under the headline, “Role of LaRouche”, China Daily said, “Thanks to the fight taken up by LaRouche organization over the years and the initiators of Transaqua, the project is today becoming reality within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Executive Intelligence Review magazine and Schiller Institute in 2015 arranged the first meeting between LCBC [the Lake Chad Basin Commission—ed.] and the brains behind Transaqua. This was followed in December 2016 by the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between LCBC and PowerChina, and subsequent contacts between Bonifica Spa and the Chinese company.”

The paper also notes that “The Lake Chad Basin Commission resolved the issue of funding studies on water transfer by creating a new Silk Road to Lake Chad. PowerChina, one of the country’s largest multinationals that built the Three Gorges dam, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with LCBC last December.”

Peoples Daily‘s article, by Kimeng Hilton Ndukong, is far too thoroughly illustrated and too extensive to review here; it presents the existential sub-Sahara problem of the 50-year shrinkage of Lake Chad in detail; its results in terms of economic destruction and the rise of terrorism in the region; and the extraordinary scope of the Transaqua project to transform the region. This is potentially one of Lyndon and Helga LaRouche’s greatest works.

To effectively deal with today’s opioid crisis, you have to confront the fact that the mass drugging of the American people has been a deliberate policy, the British Empire’s new Opium War, to create an environment in which everyday drug usage is normal. Because a doped up population is content and servile. Once that’s clear, we can break from the system of British control, and address why our people are in such despair by rebuilding our economy.
