LaRouche Webcast
BAE: The World's Biggest Loose End

As the BAE scandal mounts, even in the U.S. press now, the time has come, as the Walrus said, "to speak of many things"—not of cabbages, but of kings.
What I'm going to do today, corresponds to the reality of the occasion: that things which I have said in other locations earlier, as in classes and various programs, will be reflected here, but they have not been presented in this way, before an audience of this type, an international audience of this type. So, this is going to strain some of you a bit, because we're dealing with areas in which the problems that confront mankind are mankind's acceptance of certain things as being assumably true, almost self-evident; and confining what they think is possible, to what they consider to be self-evidently true. And suddenly, what they consider to be self-evidently true, is no longer true! And really never was. But its truth has caught up with them....

The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism, by Stanislav M. Menshikov
March 23, 2007
—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

Feature

BAE: The World's Biggest Loose End
Lyndon LaRouche, addressing a Washington webcast, laid out the strategic significance of the scandal surrounding British defense giant BAE Systems, its bribery of Saudi Prince Bandar, and the role of Dick Cheney and others in creating a $80-100 billion slush fund for use in covert operations, over two decades. This scandal occurs at a time of global financial collapse, 'the end of a period of history,' LaRouche said. The BAE affair provides us with the opportunity to act—starting with the impeachment of Cheney.
But in addition to this strategic briefing, LaRouche did something 'rather different' this time, as he explained. He delved into the core scientific/epistemological issues—from Nicholas of Cusa to Einstein—ignorance of which has prevented citizens and leaders from acting effectively to save their nations. 'I've not said this in this form, in this kind of audience, because it would not have been appropriate earlier,' he said. 'Why? Because the public was not scared enough, and not shocked enough, to realize that changes had to be made.' But now, the time is here.


Investigation

Will BAE Scandal of Century Bring Down Dick Cheney?
This is a London scandal, not a Saudi scandal, since it reveals the way the inner system of AngloDutch power operates. Cheney is in deep trouble with his London friends, because he was supposed to prevent the real story of the BAE scandal, the existence of a $80-100 billion secret fund, from ever ever seeing the light of day.
