Why expose Gore’s record now?
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“The gut of the Gore issue, is that this is no ordinary strategic crisis. By acting as he has done, repeatedly, in the worsening world crisis which erupted this Autumn, in the midst of the most awesome, global financial and monetary crisis in modern history, Gore’s foolish actions, like the treachery of the Confederacy’s Jefferson Davis, crossed the bloody line. He went beyond his usual, childish foolishness, and crossed that line, which defines where U.S. national-security ends, and intolerable conduct begins.”

When economics becomes science
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The policy initiatives surrounding the Eurasian Land-Bridge that have been launched by Chinese President Jiang Zemin—virtually blacked out in the Western media—represent “the only source of economic hope for the nearly smashed economy of western Europe. The entire world needs this policy, urgently; only such cooperation, of this intensity, on this scale, can reverse the plunge toward doom which has been unleashed upon us now, by the foolish choices of policy-directions adopted by the trans-Atlantic powers during the recent thirty-odd years.”

Hyde leads lame duck Congress in insurrection
by Edward Spannaus
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman and his cohorts are determined to push through an impeachment which will not only permanently weaken the Presidency, but which will virtually paralyze the United States government during a time of unprecedented financial and economic crisis. This, despite the fact that the November elections showed that the vast majority of the American population is opposed to impeachment.
