An important article in the Daily Beast by senior correspondent Eleanor Clift, her second since the press conference Jan. 7, goes after Obama for covering up the Saudi connection to global terrorism. The piece is titled, “White House: Don’t Call It Terrorism,” with the subhead: “Having flubbed Paris, the administration is convening a summit on countering violent extremism, carefully avoiding any reference to Islamic terrorism, never mind the facts.”

The thrust of Clift’s article is to go after the Obama Administration for refusing to talk about Islamic terrorism, strongly suggesting that this is because it would call the question on the Saudis.

She first quotes Farah Pandith, who was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s representative to Muslim communities, who says that we actually know a lot about Islamic extremism, and who funds it — which is the Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia. “It’s mind-blowing, the money to build shiny new mosques with a particular viewpoint,” Pandith says.

Clift then quotes Bill Galston of Brookings, who was a domestic policy advisor to Bill Clinton, arguing that it’s not just about nomenclature; the failure to identify the problem

“exposes a lack of strategic focus, and potentially weakens the government’s hand in the fight….the Saudis have spent upwards of $100 billion to disseminate [wahhabism], building mosques, supplying teachers and training imams. They’ve done a very good job of channeling internal dissent outward. Are we prepared as part of this united front against violent extremism inspired by a misguided interpretation of Islam, are we prepared to confront the Saudis who have played a central role in spreading these tenets?”

Clift writes:

Galston is saying out loud what many in Washington have been aware of in the aftermath of 9/11, when it was revealed that the 19 hijackers were of Saudi origin. Former Florida senator Bob Graham, who was chair of the Senate Select Committee that investigated the attacks, is pressing the Obama administration to make public 28 pages of the Senate report that document the Saudi role in funding and supporting the hijackers. He argues that the continued cover-up encourages the Saudis to continue spreading Wahhabism, and if Obama wants to seize the moment that Paris presents, he should declassify the 28 pages. “If Paris isn’t a turning point in our passivity toward the role the Saudis have played, what will it take?” he told The Daily Beast.

Lyndon LaRouche warned on Wednesday that the escalating war crisis around Ukraine, which targets Russia, is being driven by the London and Wall Street desperation over their looming total bankruptcy.  The desperation was expressed yet again that same day, when Wall Street rammed through HR 37, another deregulation of the derivatives bubble. The bill had been defeated just last week, and Wall Street’s Republican leadership in Congress immediately brought the bill back up for a new vote, this one requiring only a simple majority.

They are clearly aware that the entire trans-Atlantic financial bubble is on the edge, and they cannot wait even a decent interval before pushing through new bailout guarantees. This is criminally unconstitutional.

The same factors are at work in the continuing sabotage of any solution to the Ukraine conflict that would de-escalate the continuing provocations for general war against Russia.  LaRouche warned that the neo-Nazi forces in Ukraine are being promoted and backed by like-minded circles in parts of Western Europe, including in Germany.  The propaganda spewing out of the German media is touting the same neo-Nazi line that Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk spread during his visit to Berlin last week.

LaRouche warned:

“Make no mistake, the world is being driven towards World War III and possible thermonuclear extinction by the puppet voices of London and Wall Street.  They are using the anti-Russia provocations and the drive for war to divert attention and hide the truth about their total bankruptcy. Millions of innocent citizens are being devastated on behalf of this Wall Street/London oligarchy, that should be put out of its misery through orderly bankruptcy reorganization, starting with Glass-Steagall,”

LaRouche added that there must be recourse against these London and Wall Street criminals, and he promised that the upcoming Jan. 17 New York City Schiller Institute event would be an important unleashing of just such a recourse.

There are clearly other forces aligning against the London/Wall Street war drive, as reflected in the four-million-person march in France following the two jihadist attacks in Paris last week.  France has refused to fall into the London trap—as Merkel’s Germany has—and respond to the asymmetric warfare with a further assault against its own population.

And there is continuing serious coverage of the Saudi hand behind the global terror, following last week’s Capitol Hill press conference by Sen. Bob Graham, Rep. Walter Jones, Rep. Stephen Lynch and representatives of the 9/11 families led by Terry Strada, as well as the Jan. 9 LaRouche PAC webcast, which fully exposed the Anglo-Saudi factor. Just in the last 24 hours, excellent coverage of the press conference and the Saudi role appeared in the Daily Beast, Zerohedge, Russia Today, and China’s Global Times.

The Anglo-Saudi apparatus is at the very center of the war drive against Russia.  The willful driving down of world oil prices to way below break-even costs is aimed at Russia directly, and the Putin leadership in Moscow are fully aware of that they are targeted from London, Riyadh, and from the Obama White House.

Rabbi said recent attacks “have revealed the urgent need to stop talking and start acting.”

Francis insisted that it was an “aberration” to kill in the name of God.

“For years, decades even, we have been provoking” and feared it would come back to haunt them.
