Letter of Transmittal
To The Citizens of the U.S.A.
My Friends:
For the sake of the Democratic Party, and for all of the citizens of the U.S.A. and their posterity, an unusually tough Platform --the attached Platform!-- must be placed in general circulation at time of the Boston nominating convention. In presenting and adopting this, I am resolved that we must defeat the attempted continuation of the Bush-Cheney (or, is it not the Cheney-Bush?) Administration, by, first, dumping Cheney from government immediately (otherwise, there might not be a November 2004 election), and by, second, providing a new President and a new, bipartisan coalition within the Congress, without DeLay.
|
|
All that we might attempt to do to those ends, would become meaningless, unless, as I insist in this attached Platform, our Party abandoned the fantasy-life which has controlled the relevant majority of popular opinion, and of the mass media, during the most recent Presidential primary campaigns. To win today, our people must finally recognize certain crucial facts upon which even the continued existence of our nation, and more, now, urgently, depends.
Franklin Roosevelt said, in a circumstance similar to our onrushing situation today: We have nothing to fear as much as fear itself. This means, today, that we must state, now as then, that the greatest threat to our nation is the hysterical denials of reality expressed by many political leaders, and within the population generally. As Roosevelt said then, these expressions of fear, which are typically expressed as denial of that which is actually to be feared, are now, themselves, the greatest danger to us all. These denials are the delusions expressed by words such as: "They would never let it happen!" Or, "We have to go with the system!" "Don't give me big ideas; I have to worry about what is happening in my local community!"

Here are the opening remarks by Democratic Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, at a campaign webcast from Boston, on the eve of the Democratic Party Convention, July 25, 2004.
Thank you! Thank you, all. This is going to be fun time!! So, prepare for the fun.
You know, I've advocated fun over a number of years, repeatedly. People sometimes have misunderstood me, and I've had to correct them, as to what I consider fun. Fun is doing good, in a world that likes to do bad—and then, laughing at the reaction you get!
All right, now, today, I received a copy of this magnificent document: It's the New York Times Sunday magazine section. It's infamous around the country. Today, it has a feature, written by Matt Bai, which is actually an example of the folly we're going to laugh about when we're having fun in future times to come. Now, the author of this has consulted with a number of people, who are passable idiots, including the son of George Soros, and so forth, who think they have a map to take the election in 2008, by reorganizing the party.

Northern Virginia Terrorism Threat
Asked during his July 15 webcast, by a former senior Senate staffer, for his assessment of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge's proposal that the 2004 Presidential elections could be suspended in case of a terrorist attack, U.S. Democratic Party Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. responded bluntly: "If we were to accept the idea of calling off the Nov. 2 election, or postponing it—which would mean calling it off—we would no longer have a Republic."
The `Quijano Dossier' and the National Security
Threat to the United States
Fernando Quijano is part of a serious national security threat to the United States: a bit-player in a third-generation Nazi International apparatus, involving Spanish Falange fascist Blas Piñar and leading Mexican Synarchist circles.
Russian Economy:
A Leap in the Wrong Direction
by Rachel Douglas
The government and the President appear committed to reforms that represent the free-trade, deregulation, anti-general welfare dogmas of Friedrich von Hayek's Mont Pelerin Society and its offshoots, in their purest form.
Mr. Taylor: Argentina Already Paid Its Debt!
by Cynthia R. Rush
U.S. Treasury Undersecretary John Taylor on July 15 told a gathering at the neo-conservative Cato Institute that Argentina must negotiate with foreign creditors—by which he meant the vulture fund front group, the Global Committee of Argentina Bondholders (GCAB), and also prove that its 2001 debt default was "a one-time event that won't be repeated." Taylor warned that Argentina's creditworthiness in the eyes of the world will be determined by "the way in which it restructures its debt, and how it negotiates with its creditors."

U.S. Real Wages Have Fallen for Another Year
by Paul Gallagher
The Cheney-Bush White House was pushing the Congress hard, just before its recess began on July 23, to pass new tax cuts; extensions of the Administration's earlier tax cuts for five more years, and a new increase in the Earned Income Credit tax rebate.
Saxony: An Industrial Heartland of Germany
by Rainer Apel
The LaRouche movement in Germany, campaigning for the Sept. 19 legislative elections in the easternmost state of Saxony, is using the slogan "In Sachsen muß die Wirtschaft Wachsen!"

Iraq Interim Government Can't Be the
Servant of Two Masters
by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
Prime Minister Iyad Allawi is caught on the horns of a dilemma: On the one hand, he must show the occupation that his government is a faithful puppet; and, on the other, he convince the Iraqi people, and the world, that it is an independent authority.
Behind Butler Report: The LaRouche Issue
by Katherine Kanter
As readers will be well aware, the so-called Butler Report was published on July 14, almost one year to the day from the alleged suicide of weapons-inspection expert and BBC "informant" Dr. David Kelly. Its publication also happens to coincide with a front-page leak to the London Times through someone described as a "senior" American official, according to whom the U.S. Government is now considering an attack on Iran in order to destroy that nation's civil nuclear program, to which Russia is currently delivering fuel rods.
Asia Hits Cheney Doctrine, DNC
by Kathy Wolfe
A four-party group of 49 South Korean lawmakers on July 16 submitted a joint resolution to the Korean National Assembly—also hand-delivered to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul—calling for Washington to apologize for asking Korea to send troops to Iraq, by providing false intelligence on weapons of mass destruction. "It was wrong of the Bush Administration to bring war against Iraq," they said.
Japan's Voters Punish Koizumi
by Kathy Wolfe
Japanese voters punished Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in a national election on July 11, for endangering Japan's peace constitution by his one-man decision to turn Japanese troops in Iraq over to the new multinational UN force there, and for what an Asahi News editorial called his "arrogance" in failing to explain his slashing of benefits for Japan’s large elderly population, and hikes in payments for pensions, under advice from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The U.S., Not Myanmar, Is Isolating Itself
by Mike and Gail Billington
The level of hysteria in Washington against the military junta in Myanmar (persistently called Burma, its former name, by U.S. officials, as a form of insult to the regime) reached a fever pitch on May 18, when President Bush, in a letter to the Congress extending sanctions against the country, described the impoverished Southeast Asian nation as a "continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States."
Probes Pile Up Around Dick Cheney, Halliburton
by Edward Spannaus
A contentious hearing on July 22 by the House Government Reform Committee focussed on Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.), who was compelled to hold it under pressure from Democratic members, complained that "if it weren't for the fact that the Vice President was the former—and I emphasize former—CEO of the parent company, we wouldn't even be here today."
The Threat of Fascism Today
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The opening presentation from Democratic Presidential contender Lyndon LaRouche’s campaign webcast in Washington, D.C. on July 15. "The point is: Who is going to control the next President of the United States? Is it going to be the people? Is it going to be the long- term interests of the United States? The two-generations-to-come interests of the people of the United States, and the world? Or, is it going to be this bunch of Nazis—in fact?"
Many Floridas Loom in November Elections
by Edward Spannaus
What many activists and observers, including EIR have warned—that the November 2004 Presidential elections could be far more chaotic and disastrous than those of 2000—was officially acknowledged in a Congressional hearing on July 20.
Loser Bob Shrum: Kerry's Rasputin?

John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), demanding that Kerry fire his political guru—the manreputed to be the campaign's chief strategist, the political consultant Robert Shrum. How could Kerry listen to the advice of the man who had steered Arnie's campaign, defeating Kerry supporter and fellow Democrat Gray Davis? Shrum had betrayed Davis, betrayed the Democratic Party.
