It Didn’t Start with Abu Ghraib: Dick Cheney, Vice President for Torture and War  

by Jeffrey Steinberg

The case of the 1953 death of CIA officer Dr. Frank Olson, covered up for 52 years, is now finally coming to light. According to the investigations of his son Eric Olson, EIR, and others, his death was no suicide, as originally claimed; rather, he was murdered by the CIA itself, to prevent him from blowing the whistle on the CIA involvement in torture, murder, mind-control drug experimentation, employment of Nazi war criminals, and the possible use of biological weapons in the Korean War. How much did Dick Cheney know, when, as a high official in the Ford White House, he moved to hush up the Olson case? Plenty.

‘BoBos as a No-Future Generation’: The Present Dark Age in Education  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“It is the development, largely as self-development, today, of our adult youth of university-eligible age, on which the prospect of our nation’s ability to recover from its own recent decades of folly depends. The situation is similar throughout the Americas, as in Europe abroad. We can not only survive as a republic, but succeed in that mission, if we have the insight to recognize the roots of the present conflict between the generations of the BoBos and their adult progeny, and learn the lesson which that conflict is warning us we must learn, before it becomes too late to avoid the dark menace looming on the immediate horizon of the future.”

by Rainer Apel

A political alliance of radical budget-cutters did not get a majority in the Sept. 18 parliamentary elections; however, while the next government will include some of their co-thinkers, the potential for a shift toward a national mobilization of industry and labor is asserting itself.
