Arab League Summit Cancelled, With Possible 'Dangerous Consequences'

On March 28, for the first time in the 57-year history of the Arab League, the organization's summit was called off, or rather, postponed during the final preparations, when Tunisian President Zine el Abidine ben Ali announced a surprise decision. Arab League General Secretary Amr Mussa warned that the postponement would have "dangerous consequences for joint Arab action."

How Must We Deal With the New Turn in This Worsening Crisis?
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

March 24, 2004

The combination of the terrorist attack at Madrid and the U.S. Bush Administration's tacit condoning of the escalated assassination policies of Israel's Sharon government, represent a sudden, inevitably reverberating change in the situation surrounding all leading crisis-points in the world today. In that sense, the planned March 28-29 Arab League meeting in Tunis will occur under current global strategic crisis-conditions qualitatively different from the conditions existing even as recently as a few weeks ago.

I explain.

It has been known to me for some months, that a new wave of terrorist attacks, ultimately targetting the U.S.A. and other parts of the Americas, was being prepared by a Spain-coordinated terrorist organization based chiefly in Italy, France, and Spain.

This organization is a reactivation of the same network, currently associated with a leading public role of Spain's veteran fascist Blas Piñar, responsible for the wave of right-wing terror in Italy and elsewhere during the interval 1969-1980. That post-World War II, Spain-based organization, originally built up in Franco's circles around the circles now featuring Blas Piñar, is a part of the former SS security apparatus led by Nazi SS General Walter Schellenberg—the section of the Nazi system's apparatus, and its associated international banking circles, which first entered into collaboration with such U.S. notables as Allen Dulles and James Jesus Angleton during the 1944-1945 interval.

Dulles and the Anglo-American faction of which he and his brother John Foster Dulles were an integral part, had been associated, in concert with head of the Bank of England Montagu Norman, in deploying Hjalmar Schacht for the purpose of bringing Adolf Hitler to power in Germany. Through channels such as the associates of Schacht, such as Switzerland's Nazi representative Francois Genoud, Dulles had reopened channels to the Göring banker networks, and SS General Schellenberg, during the course of the period following the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad. U.S. agents Dulles, General Draper, and Angleton were key in the U.S. side of the arrangements which brought those elements of the Nazi SS into the post-war Anglo-American intelligence apparatus...

Congress Approves President Roosevelt's — Civilian Conservation Corps

On March 31, 1933, Congress approved "An Act for the relief of unemployment through the performance of useful public works and other purposes." The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), proposed by President Franklin Roosevelt, was to provide 250,000 jobs for unemployed males between the ages of 18 and 25. At a press conference two days before the bill was passed, a reporter asked the President "How soon do you think we can get them out, Mr. President?" Roosevelt replied, "I should think we can get the first people enrolled within two weeks after the passage of the bill. That means they probably could not get to camp until three weeks. Of course, we cannot start off with 250,000 at one time. That will take quite a while." Yet despite the difficulties posed by the collapse of the economy, the CCC succeeded in putting young people to work at an incredibly rapid rate.

An Executive Order of April 5 appointed a director, and an Advisory Council with representatives from the Departments of War, Interior, Agriculture, and Labor. Local state relief and welfare organizations selected the enrollees in cooperation with the Department of Labor. The War Department was charged with paying, housing, clothing and feeding the men, although the men were under civilian control. The Departments of Agriculture and Interior planned the work projects, recommended camp locations and supervised the programs. Two days after the Executive Order was signed, the first man was selected, and 10 days later the first camp was set up in George Washington National Forest in Virginia and work began.

The first call for men was for 25,000. Roosevelt stated that he "authorized enrollment of 250,000 juniors and about 25,000 experienced men to be selected from the neighborhoods where camps were located," in order to train the new recruits. Separately, Roosevelt also authorized the enrollment of 25,000 veterans of World War I, as a separate and distinctive part of the organization. Each member of the Corps received room and board, clothing, medical care, and $30 per month, but out of that monthly pay, an allotment was sent to the families of the men.

Largest Mobilization of Men in U.S. History

As Roosevelt wrote in 1938, in his notes on the history of the CCC, "By early July, three months after the first man had enrolled, 250,000 enrollees, 25,000 war veterans and 25,000 experienced woodsmen were settled in 1,468 forest and park camps of 200 men each, in every State of the Nation. It was the most rapid, large-scale mobilization of men in our history."

Strategy of Tension:

Sharon Declares War On The Islamic World
by Dean Andromidas

On Sept. 28, 2000 Ariel Sharon marched onto the Al Haram Al Sharif/TempleMountin Jersusalem, thereby declaring war against the Palestinian National Authority. On March 22, 2004, by assassinating Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Sharon declared war on the entire Islamic world.

Strategy of Tension: The Case of Italy
Part 2.
by Claudio Celani

With the exception of the 1980 Bologna train-station massacre, all major episodes of blind terrorism in Italy have remained legally unsolved, thanks to a systematic cover-up and sabotage of the investigations carried out by intelligence structures.

  • Taiwan Election Shaken
    Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian claimed an extremely narrow electoral victory on March 20, following a very strange shooting incident on March 19. Many questions remain as to what really happened when Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) President Chen and Vice President Annette Lu Hsiu-lien were both lightly wounded by gunshots at a campaign motorcade.
  • Could Plotters Cancel Philippine Elections?
    The Philippines Daily Tribune of March 25 described a 'Strategy of Tension' unfolding in Manila.

  • A President Killed, New Violence Hits Balkans
    by Rainer Apel

    Senior political and intelligence sources from Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina—with whom EIR had the chance of speaking during a mid-March Balkans visit—have pointed to the strikingly timely coincidence of the 'strategy of tension' operation in Spain, and the unleashing of a violent and bloody destabilization in Kosovo only a few days later.

Politics and Culture:

Those Populist Fools Who Would Seek a Contract Even With God
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
... A Lesson From History
More than 1,000 years ago, a dirty agreement was reached among Venice's financier oligarchy, the pro-irrationalist clerics of Cluny, the Norman chivalry, and that Mathilde of Tuscany...It was this medieval 'coalition of the willing' which produced the Crusades, the Inquisition, and all the kindred, ultramontane evils against humanity characteristic of medieval Europe.


Correspondence:

Letter to DNC Chair McAuliffe On Democratic Committee's Hoax

"...Chairman McAuliffe:
I am informed by persons I respect as credible sources,
that, in the matter of your fraudulent allegations against me, you are acting merely as a flunky of known, if unstated controlling agencies. However, an honest man, even of your low rank, would have displayed the sense of personal honor to have resigned from the bureaucratic position you hold, rather than become childishly complicit, as you have done, in the disgusting action in which you have joined against me. You force me to rebuke you publicly..."


Commentary:

Are We Safer?
The recent testimony by former National Security Council counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke before the 9/11 Commission has further exposed the pathetic hoax of 'George W. Bush, the War President.'

The Israeli Attack On the USS Liberty

``The Loss of Liberty,"

The video includes testimony from Liberty survivors, many Congressional Medal of Honor winners, and from such high-ranking Americans as:

  • Adm. Thomas H. Moorer,
  • Adm. Arleigh Burke
  • Gen. Ray Davis
  • Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
