The ‘Maritornes’: A Tavern of Fascist Prostitutes  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“The implications of the recent Maritornes incident should impel us to refine and upgrade the indispensable practice of our association’s counterintelligence functions,” writes Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. “Since I have a unique leading role in the present crisis of the United States republic, this proposed improvement in our intelligence functions is required for waging a sufficiently good fight for both the defense of the U.S.A. from presently onrushing Synarchist plots such as that typified by the Maritornes affair, and for the related purpose of rescuing of a presently imperilled world civilization from the present brink of a global catastrophe.”

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s December announcement that Israel would soon annex a major portion of the West Bank, and other statements, were widely read by U.S., Egyptian, and Israeli military specialists as a signal that he intends to launch a war against Syria and Lebanon, perhaps as soon as the Spring of 2004.

‘The Big Knife’: Hollywood’s Classical Drama!

by Harley Schlanger

Robert Beltran Revives Odets Theater-goers in Los Angeles had the privilege of seeing a live demonstration of one of the leading principles emphasized by Lyndon LaRouche: that of the power of an effective presentation of a Classically-composed tragedy, to move an audience. Well-known stage, screen, and television actor Robert Beltran produced an excellent presentation of Clifford Odets’ 1948 drama, The Big Knife, in which Odets provided a penetrating insight into the socially corrupting effects of the onset of “Trumanism” in America.
