We need you to join this call tonight at 9pm EDT. On Sunday, Lyndon LaRouche characterized the military strike by the United States against Syria as a British coup in progress against the President of the United States which must be met by the American population stamping out all British imperial influences in the United States. The American population must come down on this “like a hammer,” LaRouche said, if the United States itself is to survive. LaRouche endorsed veteran German statesmen Willy Wimmer’s call for a meeting between Trump and Putin at the earliest possible occasion.

James Comey committed near treason on Monday, March 20, when he testified to his participation in a fraudulent investigation against the Trump Presidency. The entire investigation on Russia is a fraud. There is no evidence of any crime by every account. However, there is clear evidence of an intended coup against a legitimate Presidency of the U.S., and the threat, via Trump’s overthrow, to force a war against Russia and China which would result in nuclear war.

Comey is getting his orders from the bankrupt financial centers of the City of London and Wall St., for whom the FBI was initially established. It is not surprising that these attempts to undermine the newly elected President are all to mask the dire bankruptcy of the trans-Atlantic financial system, and the failed political establishment which is responsible for the now imploding economic crisis.

Under this Ukraine-style “color revolution,” Comey’s hands are more than filthy, possibly through direct participation in surveillance of the Trump team—as we now see with Susan Rice—but certainly for the cover-up of the intended removal of President Trump by the Obama administration network, including their direct ties into the media.

As reported by London’s Financial Times, Comey has just established a Special Investigative Unit in the FBI’s “Hoover Headquarters” in Washington D.C. to continue this Quixotic quest to determine Russia’s role in our recent election, and he’s joined by his deputy Andrew McCabe—the same McCabe whose wife received $700,000 from team Hillary during her campaign for State Senate just last year.

This is the British hand at work, and the desperation and hysteria of this operation, fully fledged since the election, indicates that the clock is ticking, and is to be decided over the coming weeks.

Susan Rice Did Not Act Alone

It has now been confirmed by Susan Rice, contrary to what she said just ten days earlier, that she was involved in exposing the names of various Trump transition officials, tantamount to eavesdropping on political opponents to undermine a newly elected President. This is a severe breach of the public trust of broad executive powers—as we saw during the entire Obama Presidency—but it does not stop at Susan Rice. She said in her interview with Andrea Mitchell, that all of the reports listing Trump officials including possibly Congressmen, were ordered by Obama personally. The Wall Street Journal now reports that there were others inside the Obama administration who also unmasked people in Trump’s transition efforts.

The entire Obama network, including the Wall St. and British backers, such as George Soros, are now facing exposure of their extensive crimes against the American people, and many others around the world, for the last eight years. The sirens of justice can now be heard, at least in the distance.

For the guilty, the panic is high, the drinks are certainly flowing, and the pills are still being popped. Can the FBI and their media agents protect team Obama from what is already becoming a major Congressional investigation and Constitutional crisis?

Democrats Hide Behind Comey

The Democrats would have no cover for their lack of evidence, and overtly seditious tactics, were it not for Comey’s outright protection of their intended coup. And the media would have no daily story were it not for the Democrats constant band-standing, all with Comey’s protection.

Their hysteria depends on obvious lies and deception. Regarding the so-called Russian hacking of the DNC computers, this has only been confirmed by one private company, Crowdstrike, and at least one of its directors, Dimitri Alperovitch, was a supporter of Hillary Clinton, and a member of the Atlantic Council.

The Atlantic Council is funded by the State Department, as well as the Ukrainian World Council, Saudi Arabia, and over twenty other foreign nations. The council also happens to now employ Evelyn Farkas (Obama’s former Asst. Deputy Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia until 2015), who admitted in early March that the Obama White House had direct involvement in the surveillance of the Trump transition team, and was also involved in the broad distribution of unmasked reports to members of Congress and the media.

The very fact that the FBI has not investigated the actual computers, which were supposedly hacked, is inconceivable, as President Trump himself indicated in a tweet March 5.

Besides the supposed hacking by Russia, there is the British-sponsored intelligence “dodgy dossier” by British agent Christopher Steele, which even Mike Morell, former Deputy Director of the CIA and top Hillary surrogate, said was entirely false, and worse, the fake gossip was actually paid for via intermediaries who still remain unnamed, and thus the whole report is unverified. It is also possible that in addition to a Republican campaign, likey the Bush Campaign, and then the Hillary Campaign both having paid MI-6 operative Steele for this propaganda, that also the FBI, under Comey’s direction, paid Steele, all for what is essentially gossip, which even CNN, who broke the story on television, could not corroborate. The FBI is now under Congressional investigation for this allegation of paying for political opposition research, which would be another severe breach of Executive powers.

All Americans should be outraged over every aspect of this fascist-coup scenario playing out before their very eyes. Either we fight now against this coup, or we will all lose.

The British Hand of the FBI

Such a crime, as is now exposed regarding Susan Rice, et al., short of attempted murder of a President-elect, as against FDR and Lincoln, has never been documented in U.S. history. Watergate was simply the cover-up of a burglary of another campaign. This is outright surveillance, illegal leaks to the media, and conspiracy to undermine a sitting President!

Without Comey, acting on behalf of the British Crown, the Democrats, who are serving as modern-day McCarthyites, have nothing to stand on.

Leading retired figures in the intelligence committee have also been clear that Robert Hannigan’s early departure as the director of Britain’s GCHQ, and just three days after Trump was inaugurated, is not a coincidence. John Brennan, who is now the former director of the CIA and a life-long agent of Saudi-British interests from his career-CIA post in Riyadh, was likely the key interlocutor between the Obama apparatus and the British GCHQ, coordinating their “Get Trump” operation. Brennan has been silent during this entire period, but only after he, as the sitting director of the CIA, directly attacked Trump during the transition period, and publicly!

The British, via the “five eyes” agreement, also have access to all data collected by the NSA, which includes all cell phone, emails, credit card transactions, and even library book rentals, all of which started after 9-11 in 2001. And, the British have zero Constitutional restrictions preventing the surveilling and even overthrow of a U.S. President.

Actually, quite the contrary, it is the Monarchy’s near duty. Remember, this is the same British Establishment which considered the reinstatement of Glass-Steagall an ACT OF WAR.

The FBI’s Fingerprint

The very reason the F.B.I was established under Anglophile Teddy Roosevelt—who ended the Lincoln Republican Party and brought in Wall St.—was to bring the U.S. into World War I, and to surveil, intimidate and control every member of the U.S. government who refuses to accept British-Wall St. direction. The same role was repeated with the Cold War, as it was with Bush and Cheney’s Iraq war, and the cover-up of 9-11.

The FBI cover-up of 9-11, as with Kennedy’s assassination, is perhaps the most heinous, and continues to this day, most notably in Sarasota, FL where tens of thousands of documents remain undisclosed, documents which likely show the FBI’s involvement and cover-up of the activities of the 9-11 terrorists, and more importantly, the financiers.

A Great Moment in History

The American people have to make a decision, The Trump Presidency has made a clear and solemn commitment to revive the American System of Political-Economy, the very system Lyndon LaRouche has represented internationally over the last 40 years.

Do the American people have the courage to act to make this potential a reality? Not an approximation, not a maybe, not a yes-but?

To put this another way, has a great moment found a great people? A people prepared to restore their nation to it’s rightful heritage, to respond with that “Lincoln-reflex”?

Or has this moment found a little people, concerned about their own survival, riddled by their own insecurities and resentments?

It is now clear, following Comey’s testimony and subsequent actions that his own motives must be questioned under the threat of removal as the director of the FBI. Either the intelligence community, along with Obama and his minions in the media, must be held accountable, or our nation remains vulnerable to sustained political attack and an attempted color revolution, as we see in Syria and Ukraine.

The Glass-Steagall act must then be reinstated to put an end to Wall St.’s control over American politics. With these immediate steps fulfilled, a full fledged return to the system of Hamilton, Lincoln and FDR will be possible. A LaRouche program feasible. A new American Renaissance unleashed!

The meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be a watershed moment for the US-China relationship and a critical event that can determine the direction of world history. While ANY meeting between the heads of these two indispensable nations would have global implications, this particular meeting is especially crucial. The newly elected U.S. President has charted a new course for the U.S. economy, rejecting many of the shibboleths of the traditional “free market” ideology, which have proven disastrous over the decades for many countries, including the United States, and is moving toward returning to the “American System” economics of Hamilton and Henry Clay, which would involve protection for many U.S. industries which have disappeared thanks to the avarice of our U.S. industrial and financial layers.

China, which has successfully utilized the “dictates’’ of the free market system by entering that system as a low-wage producer has, through a conscientious government policy of systematically investing in science and technology moved from its original status of low-wage manufacturing center to a higher niche of productive capability and skill level in the world economy. Through that policy, China has succeeded in developing its economy, becoming the veritable engine of world economic growth, and has raised over 700 million Chinese out of poverty. China’s development of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 now promises to lift hundreds of millions of people in other Third World countries out of poverty through a policy of infrastructure investment. China has also taken the initiative for the creation of new international banking institutions, like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the BRIC’s countries’ New Development Bank, which are solely geared to realizing that investment.

The question facing the two leaders is how do these two policies fit together. China was concerned about some of the statements made by presidential candidate Trump during the presidential campaign, in which he seemed to blame China for the U.S. economic predicament and later accepted a call from the leader of Taiwan, putting into question his commitment to the “one-China’’ policy. China was also concerned about the appointment of a couple of outright “China-bashers’’ like Peter Navarro and Robert Lighthizer to the Trump cabinet, in positions affecting international trade. This created a great deal of trepidation among Chinese leaders with regard to the upcoming policies of the new President. Much of this trepidation has since been alleviated by the phone call between President Trump and President Xi in February, where President Trump reiterated his support for the One China policy, that is, recognizing the People’s Republic of China as the sole representative of the Chinese people, and expressed a willingness to establish a good working relationship with China on all levels.

More recently, President Trump sent his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, to China to meet with his counterparts. There Tillerson surprised his Chinese hosts by using the exact terms that China has insisted must characterize the US-China relationship, namely that it be a relationship characterized by “no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.’’ Until Tillerson’s statement, no U.S. official has ever uttered these words to Chinese leaders.

The fact that the two leaders mutually decided to hold such a summit at a very early stage in the new administration’s term indicates that they both realized that having a good mutual understanding of each other’s goals and intentions was absolutely crucial, and both were confident that such a meeting would be successful.

It is perhaps too soon to expect any resolution of the key issues on which the two sides have differing views, whether it be on trade policy, or the North Korea nuclear program, which has become the pretext for the U.S. to place THAAD missiles in South Korea, and which China views as a threat to them as well; or the South China Sea, where Chinese territorial claims have received push-back from the U.S.

Given the fact that the new Administration does not even have all of its people in place in order to review or come up with policy recommendations in these matters, there will probably be no definitive resolution on them just now. These will, of course, be on the agenda of discussion, discussions which President Trump has characterized as difficult.

But what can be accomplished in the meeting, which is so crucial to the resolution of any of these issues, is a greater understanding of each other’s positions and outlooks. President Trump has often shown himself to be a gracious host in these circumstances, and holding the meeting at one of his homes in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, away from the craziness of the nation’s capital, will also be conducive to a more personal and intimate discussion. And, when met with the appropriate respect which is due to a Chinese leader, President Xi often shows a great deal of magnanimity and deft in dealing with foreign leaders, even with those with which he is not totally in agreement. It is not entirely out of the question that the two leaders, even with such very different personalities, might even develop a warm relationship.

One can also not exclude the possibility of some surprises coming out of the encounter which may point the way out for some of the problem areas. While President Trump, who has made it one of the hallmarks of his Administration to make changes in trade policy which would benefit U.S. industry, may make greater use of tariffs and taxes in order to keep some production in the U.S., and to attract new production, this could possible have a negative effect on some Chinese export products to the U.S.

But if such a policy were not solely directed toward Chinese products alone, and were not of such a draconian nature as some of the Chinese “hawks’’ in the Administration may want to impose, this could be acceptable to China if they received something in return. If some restrictions were lifted, China would be happy to buy more American products. China also invests heavily in the United States and President Trump has called for a one trillion dollar investment in the failing U.S. infrastructure. China is presently the greatest producer of infrastructure in the world. And they have expressed, in official statements and in numerous articles, their interest in investing in U.S. infrastructure. While direct Chinese ownership of strategic infrastructure like railroads or telecommunications might be frowned upon, less strategic areas might be opened for Chinese investment. Creating a Hamiltonian national infrastructure fund or bank in which China could invest at an equal or higher rate of return than they are getting from their extensive holdings of Treasury bills, might also be a means of helping President Trump in realizing his infrastructure promise. If this were combined with the implementation of Glass-Steagall legislation, another Trump promise, this would also provide the basis for stabilizing the U.S. banking system, where it also could reorient to the more long-term investment of the infrastructure program.

A closer relationship between the U.S. and China, particularly on these economic issues, would go a long way in helping them deal with the other issues that are on the table. US-China cooperation would also help solidify the gains made by China’s Belt and Road Initiative. A U.S. development program, especially in the realm of high-speed rail, could turn the New Silk Road project of China into a veritable World Landbridge, as has been proposed by Lyndon and Helga LaRouche. Both President Trump and President Xi are leaders who are clearly focused on the need for increased economic development based on the expansion of infrastructure, and this could be what unites them policy-wise. If they can find the wisdom to work together on this issue, then the “American Dream’’ will converge with the “Chinese Dream’’ and will create a new paradigm of global development for the entire world.

President Donald Trump will be meeting with Xi Jinping on Thursday and Friday, April 6-7, in Florida, and it has now been announced that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will go to Moscow next week, on April 11-12. The potential for a historic shift in the order of civilization — ending imperial geopolitics, beginning a new paradigm of peace through development and the ennoblement of all mankind — has never been as great as it is at this moment in history.

It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the British Empire has launched desperate measures aimed at dragging the United States into a new colonial war, as they did in the cases of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya — and now Syria. The intention is not merely to destroy yet another Southwest Asian nation, but to prevent their upstart former colony known as the United States from forming a partnership with Russia and China, ending the fundamental imperial division of the world between East and West, and thus ending the fundamental premise of Empire.

To that end, an atrocity was created in Syria this week, as chemical weapons were released in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib Province, either by terrorists, or, as the Russian evidence indicates, a legitimate Syrian air attack on an al-Qaeda weapons depot which accidentally uncovered and destroyed a chemical weapon factory used by al Qaeda’s Syrian branches, releasing a deadly agent which is reported to have killed dozens of people, including children.

Immediately, the British, French and, unfortunately, the U.S., issued a resolution to the UN Security Council declaring the Syrian Government fully responsible and demanding a set of new demands and sanctions. As usual, no evidence was presented.

Were the British to succeed in dragging President Trump into a war today, despite Trump’s repeated pledges that there would be no more regime change wars and that the U.S. would work with Russia to address the actual threat—that of terrorism—there is no question but that it would quickly lead to World War III, and a thermonuclear war at that.

Mr. and Mrs. LaRouche have made the point that the British have not gotten over the American Revolution. They attacked the United States again in the War of 1812, and aided the Confederacy in an attempt to break apart the nation during the so-called “Civil War.” The British Imperial interests have also been behind the assassinations of more than one U.S. President, and they have already been identified in the recent intelligence warfare against newly-inaugurated President Trump.

The meeting between Presidents Xi and Trump in Florida this weekend could bring the world a giant step closer to eliminating the British Empire for once and for all, if these two great nations embark on a path of win-win collaboration in the Belt and Road initiative.

At the same time, in France, LaRouche-collaborator Jacques Cheminade is leading an intervention in the French Presidential elections. At the recent televised national debate, Cheminade paved the way for France to reignite the the true France of Colbert and deGaulle, and to join the New Silk Road paradigm that is now emerging globally. The same one which is front and center at the Trump-Xi Summit this week.

We are at a crucial turning point in history. It is precisely the willingness to act, from every cognizant human being, which, in this moment of decision, will determine if we have war or peace, destruction or development, civilization or a new Dark Age.

It is a time for true optimism, and the corresponding actions, regarding the future of mankind!

*Please note: LaRouchePAC will update the Lead later today amidst the rapidly developing strategic picture.

The events of today and the coming days—the summit between Presidents Trump and Xi which is proceeding as we write this, to be followed in less than a week by Secretary of State Tillerson’s trip to Moscow to meet President Putin—embody the potential for which we have worked for many years. The potential is offered for humanity to enter a new epoch, unlike anything ever before seen. The brightest mid-day compared with the darkness of the 20th Century and the 21st Century to date.

What is demanded of us now, as never before, is singleness of concentration on our one, unique goal to the exclusion of all else. There are so many out there who are determined to distract us—but now we will be passing through some critical seconds, where any failure of concentration could destroy our whole effort almost instantly.

Now we must learn the lesson of those of us who have been successfully organizing in the New York subway system, through the deafening roar of the trains and the screaming of hysterics determined to distract and sabotage us. This is the lesson of the integrated, precision-trained team of astronauts and Mission Control who made the first manned landing on the Moon in 1969, as computer alarms sounded, with only seconds of fuel remaining.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche illustrated exactly this quality in her interview with Sputnik News yesterday, amazing her interviewer.

Amidst the tawdriness and lies of the New York Times today, China’s official news agency Xinhua took out a full-page advertisement which was probably the only actual news in the paper, under the headline, “First Xi-Trump Meeting Vitally Important in Every Way.” In the same way, Lyndon LaRouche’s friend Jacques Cheminade stood out from ten failed French Presidential candidates on national French television last night.

Why has the London Financial Times launched such a hostile provocation in its interview of President Trump — insisting that the central subject of his summit with China’s President will be war threats against North Korea?

What possibilities of this summit is the City of London furious to derail?

This April 6-7 summit at the Mar-a-Lago resort has the potential to reignite just the ‘American System’ engine of U.S. economic progress which Trump has passionately invoked in his recent speeches. Focused on trade, President Trump needs the substance and form of investment in reviving American manufacturing, agriculture, productive employment — and the trillions in infrastructure investments he has said must be made. President Xi can offer this, and many experts in China believe he will, if the summit is not sabotaged.

China and the other BRICS nations need the great powers of the United States and Germany cooperating with the Belt and Road Initiative (“New Silk Road”) of great infrastructure projects and land-bridges. They need cooperation above all in bringing this “win-win” economic reconstruction into the Southwest Asian and African regions devastated by the endless wars of Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. With Russia’s President Putin, they need help in stamping out terrorism and stabilizing the Southwest Asia.

This is the leading economic dynamic in the world today. President Xi will likely extend a personal invitation to President Trump to attend the international Belt and Road Initiative Forum in Beijing May 14-15. If the Mar-a-Lago summit is successful, a new paradigm of economic and scientific progress and peace among nations will take a leap forward.

As Chinese-American leader George Koo pointed out in Asia Times today, China’s leading railway producer is already building new bridges in America today, under budget, ahead of schedule, and buying American. It won construction awards for one bridge in New York City named for Alexander Hamilton — the founder of the “American System” Trump wants to revive.

London, naturally, is pursuing its own trade advantages with China’s rapidly growing economy; but the Financial Times made clear London wants to see the America-China summit go down in flames of war over North Korea, trade war, or both. British intelligence also originated the escalating McCarthyite campaign to scandalize and ruin the Trump Administration over any contact with Putin’s Russia.

Lyndon LaRouche’s movement in the United States and the Schiller Institute have been campaigning for a return of the “American System of Economy” for decades, and have been attacked and prosecuted by the same British-NATO-U.S. “deep state” now hounding Trump — in some cases, by the very same agents of that power. The American System today is LaRouche’s Four Laws to save the nation: Glass-Steagall, national credit, modern infrastructure on a large scale, revived space exploration, and fusion technologies.

A petition promoting these Four Laws to President Trump is gathering thousands of signatures on larouchepac.com now.

The Xi-Trump summit, if successful, will be a step on that path.

The Xi-Trump summit, if successful, will be a step on that path.

In a March 2 interview with MSNBC, for which network she is also an analyst, Evelyn Farkas, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Obama administration, and also an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, boasted that she and her colleagues had gathered as much intelligence as possible on President-elect Donald Trump’s “ties to Russia” before Obama left office on Jan. 20. After her interview became a focus of media attention last week, and was referenced by the Trump administration as evidence that Trump had been spied on, Farkas tried to backtrack, claiming she never handled any intelligence, and had left the Obama administration in 2015.

Her interview would seem to belie that. Now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, Farkas manically told MSNBC that she had urged former colleagues, and “frankly speaking, the people on the Hill—it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people—to get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves our administration.” She claimed she feared that “somehow the information would disappear with the senior [obama] people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy—that the Trump folks—if they found out how we knew what we knew about…the Trump staff dealing with the Russians–that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.” The goal, she continued, was to transmit all the information gathered on Trump’s team to as many political operatives, lawmakers, and Congressional staffers on Capitol Hill prior to January 20.

“We have very good intelligence on Russia,” she said. “I became very worried, because not enough was coming out into the open… So then I talked to some of my former colleagues, and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill.” Farkas insisted that Trump’s connection to Russian money was “at the heart” of the investigation. If he got money from Russians close to the Kremlin to bail out his debt, and this influenced him, “and he’s hiding this,” she warned, then this will require a major investigation—something far bigger than can be handled by Congress. Something like the 9/11 Commission will be required to conduct this “big, big investigation,” she argued.

Under the headline “Blaming Russia for Everything,” investigative reporter Robert Parry penned a scathing attack on the insane line coming from the liberal media and affiliated institutions, that everything that has gone wrong in the political process is Russia’s fault. “If any American points out the absurdity of this argument, he or she must be a `Moscow stooge’ or a `Putin puppet,'” Parry warns, in an article in his online publication Consortiumnews April 1.

The presidential election was Hillary Clinton’s to lose, Parry asserts, but when she lost, it wasn’t because of her email server scandal, her speeches to Wall Street, her calling Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorables,” or the fact tht she was a widely-disliked Establishment candidate. No! “It was all Russia’s fault,” which it did by “undermining our democratic process.” Truthful information was provided via Wikileaks on how the DNC had rigged the nominating process against Sen. Bernie Sanders, on Clinton’s Wall Street speeches, and on the dirty dealings of the Clinton Foundation. “How dastardly is that?” Parry asks.

After noting other jarring examples of “how the game is played,” he points to last Thursday’s testimony by Clint Watts, of the pro-NATO Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) at the Senate Intelligence Committe. Watts, he says, “seems to believe that any criticism of a U.S. government official (at least anyone he likes) must be directed by Russia!” Watts, Parry points out, supported the PropOrNot group, which has blacklisted many independent internet news sites that don’t toe the line about Russia “eroding faith in the U.S. government.”

“So,” Parry concludes, “We are not to worry our pretty little heads about nuclear war or a future financial meltdown,” or important social issues or

spying on our Internet use or any government wrongdoing at all, or even citizen protests against that wrongdoing. Because, if we debate such issues—if we even read about such issues—we are playing into Vladimir Putin’s evil plans.” The craziness, he warns, “has now become the focus of an official Senate investigation into Russian `meddling’ in American political life. We have taken another step down the path of a New Cold War that blends a New McCarthyism with a New Orwellianism.
