Lyndon LaRouche sharply warned on Sunday evening that “the world is on the edge of general thermonuclear warfare, and it’s coming essentially from Britain and from Obama. Obama is an agent of the British imperial system, and always has been, and they are now moving to launch general thermonuclear war. They are on the very edge of pushing it over the edge, right now, especially in Europe.”

LaRouche said that he has been following international developments closely, and over recent weeks it has become evident that the dying British imperial system is driving for war, now, engineered by their agent Obama as a showdown between the United States and NATO, against Russia and China. We are at a break-point in history, in which action must be taken promptly to prevent such a nightmare from playing out.

“That is the message which ought to be presented to anyone who is not stupid,” LaRouche said. “And we should be acting to stall and prevent the launching of such a war. Unless they are deterred from going ahead with what they are obviously signaling to do quickly, you are headed for thermonuclear war, and mass death throughout the planet. The point is: Can we prevent that thing, which has already been set into motion? Can we prevent that from being carried forward? That’s the only important question at the moment.”

The LaRouche movement today introduced a major change in this strategic situation, with the call to arms issued by LPAC Policy Committee member Kesha Rogers, former two-time Democratic congressional candidate from Texas, to revive NASA from the hell that Obama’s policies have condemned it to, get the United States back in space, and engage in win-win cooperation with Russia and China, in particular China’s intention to land a mission on the dark side of the moon by 2020.

That campaign can also play a decisive role in returning sanity to the institution Presidency of the United States, which is currently in the hands of a deranged murderer, who seems to think he can back down Russia and China with threats of thermonuclear confrontation, or an actual war.

That change cannot wait until November 2016. Obama has to be removed from power now. That can be done, and a functioning institution of the Presidency revived, by cracking open what is now a rigged Democratic presidential race. Sink Hillary Clinton’s and Bernie Sanders’s pro-Obama candidacies, and launch a viable policy discussion around the campaign of Martin O’Malley—the only candidate who has spoken out seriously about returning to Glass-Steagall to stop Wall Street’s deadly policies, and who has otherwise demonstrated qualities that qualify him for the Presidency.

Simultaneously, it is necessary to immediately shut down Wall Street and the entire speculative trans-Atlantic financial system, since it is that system’s bankruptcy which is the driving force for war. The entire trans-Atlantic system came within a hair’s breadth of collapsing this past week with the banking crisis in Italy, and it can detonate at any moment—and almost anywhere. That system must be buried, so that the United States can return to the economic growth policies we had under Franklin Roosevelt, and which were also reflected in Kennedy’s space program.

“The space program is the secret of the mechanism by which we could bring the United states, and other parts of the world, into a recovery,” Lyndon LaRouche stated on Jan. 30. Once such a policy goes into effect, “you’re going to see the beginning of a real revolution in space. So let’s do it!”
