Rep. Jones:
`We Need To Bring The U.S. Constitution Back'
by Harley Schlanger
May 12—We've entered into a most fascinating but dangerous moment in our nation's history.

As a UN Special Report recently released showed, it was the U.S. military which bore the brunt of the so-called NATO operation, and which was primarily involved in the regime-change in Libya. While some in Congress did move to assert the constitutional authority of the Congress, President Obama rejected their efforts, and in the Senate, he was supported in this rejection by a bipartisan grouping headed by John McCain (R-Ariz.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.), who ran cover for him on Libya.
In the aftermath of the overthrow and murder of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Lyndon LaRouche warned that an attempt to repeat the Libya process in Syria could lead to a confrontation with Russia and China, risking a blowup into a possible nuclear World War III. ...

  • JP Morgan Fiasco Shows Need for Glass-Steagall

  • A Needed View of Russia Today!:
    The Roots of the U.S.A.
    by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
    What Russian policymakers need to understand about the United States. 'My intention in these pages,' LaRouche writes, 'is to inform the reader of what had been those specifically original, essential constitutional principles of the American system, which remain urgently needed, but virtually unknown among European nations today. Notably, there is the fact of the crucial role of the Franklin D. Roosevelt whose legacy is still bitterly hated by the combination of such places and persons as London, Wall Street, and U.S. President Barack Obama, up to the present moment.'
