Bloomberg Fools Them Again: The Flirt
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
At this point, the flirtatious New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appears to be the leading candidate for becoming London’s “corporativist” dictator of the United States.

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Bailouts and Corporativism, or Franklin D. Roosevelt
by John Hoefle
The intention of the financial oligarchy has always been, that when financial trouble comes, as is now happening, to shift their losses to the population, while allowing corporativist privatization of public services, instead of taking the FDR approach of defending the general welfare.
