Sept. 5—With his signature drive for Nazi health care in shambles, and a large proportion of the American people in a mass strike revolt against the Administration, President Barack Obama has arrived at a crossroads. On the one side stand Wall Street and London, and their representatives in the Administration, who are demanding that the President exert dictatorial powers, as established by Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush, under the Unitary Executive theory, on behalf of their fascist austerity drive.

  • The Truth Will Out:
    Britain's Euthanasia Scandal

    In April, Lyndon LaRouche charged that President Obama's health-care policy was a copy of Hitler's cost-cutting dictum that 'lives unworthy of life' be granted a 'mercy death,' including death panels to determine which categories of people could live, and which should die.

    The Relation of Frailty and Poverty to Health-Care Needs
