The report, excerpted here, is described by its authors “as a proposal for action, to be immediately undertaken by elected officials of government,” and “as a handbook for patriots who seek to re-establish the United States as a leader in science, technology, and industry.”

Feudalism or Nation-State: The Choice Is Ours  

by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

We are in grave danger of losing even the last semblance of democracy, writes Helga Zepp-LaRouche, because with the signing of the so-called Fiscal Union and the imminent adoption of the European Stability Mechanism, the national parliaments are stripped of power and the national governments become subject to the dictates of unelected EU bureaucrats.

by Marcia Merry Baker and Cynthia R. Rush
