No More Shooting for Little Fixes and Reforms. Let's Go fot It.

Every move to take down the protections put into place by President Franklin Roosevelt after the banking collapse of the early 1930s, was done in the name of reform. The repeal of interstate banking prohibitions, the deregulation of the savings and loan sector, and the repeal of Glass-Steagall, along with a host of other measures, were all done in the name of reform.

Today, we are up to our chins in calls for reform. Some of them are genuine attempts to restore sanity to our regulatory process, others are well-intentioned but misguided efforts that would fail to have any meaningful impact, and still others are malicious measures that would advance the plans for a global financial dictatorship. It is imperative, therefore, that we have a standard for sorting the wheat from the crap and the Trojan Horses.

Fortunately, such a standard exists.

The Whole Enchilada
Nothing less than the full plan will work. Write off of the giant mountain of speculative debt currently choking the global economy, reorganize banking according to the Glass-Steagall standard, and replace the Anglo-Venetian imperial monetary system—including the scam known as globalization—with sovereign national credit systems, complete with a return to fixed exchange rates among national currencies, providing stability for long-term international cooperation.

With those measures in place, supported by the combined power of the U.S., Russia, China and India, joined by other nations, to keep the monetary casino empire from weaseling back into dominating position, we, humanity, can begin serious work on rebuilding the physical-economic productivity of the world, through large-scale investment in infrastructure—led by building state-of-the-art nuclear power plants, a global network of high-speed, magnetically levitated trains, and water management systems to provide the water for people, agriculture, and industry. We will move beyond making "things" to making history again.

It is not sufficient to merely repair existing facilities, or to build new facilities at existing technological levels. What we must do is to replace them with higher levels of technology, raising the productive power of human labor to new levels. This requires the adoption of a mission which will motivate and encourage us to make the scientific and technological breakthroughs necessary to push forward into this new Renaissance; we give ourselves problems to solve, we imbue humanity with a sense of optimism, and engage human creativity.

The perfect mission in this regard is the mission to put a manned base on Mars. To get to Mars requires not only returning to the Moon, but developing the capability on the Moon to build the spacecrafts necessary to make the trip to Mars. It also means developing the propulsion systems necessary to maintain a constant acceleration, and then a deceleration, of one Earth gravity, and solving an incredible range of other problems.

This is not a collection of programs, from which to pick and choose. It is a coherent program which must be adopted in its entirety if mankind is to avoid, at this late date, a collapse of civilization as we have known it.

To understand why the Whole Enchilada is required, we must understand the full extent of the problems we face. We are not facing merely a financial crisis, though we certainly have one. Neither are we facing merely a political crisis, which can be fixed by replacing one party in power with another. What we are facing is the very fabric of society itself, crumbling away.

Look around you, at the rate at which our brothers and sisters are losing their jobs, their homes, their ability to survive. Look at the rate at which governments at all levels are going broke, unable to perform their proper functions. Look at the way that all attempts to solve these problems are failing.

Nothing works anymore. Our ability to fix things has broken down, because we have become so caught up in entertainment and money, that we have forgotten how to drive our economy, and have allowed our political system to be taken over by the financier interests that are the agents of our destruction [ultimately theirs as well--they can't eat their paper... or shall we labor to feed them?]. We have allowed our schools to devolve into intellectual deserts where children are taught what to think, not how to think. We have allowed giant insurance and pharmaceutical companies to turn the study and practice of medicine into a looting ground, and allowed giant corporate cartels to increasingly dominate all essential needs of our lives.

Far too many among us allow ourselves to be distracted by the latest celebrity gossip, the local sports teams, the business news, partisan politics, and a host of other trivia. We have allowed ourselves to become stupid, and thus, easily manipulated.

This is what we must correct, and the Whole Enchilada offers the way to do it.

Real Reform
The propagandists of the monetarist empire have gone to grrrreat lengths to try to convince us that our future depends upon restoring their predatory financial system. We are induced to focus on such real, but relatively minor issues as bankers' bonuses and accounting issues, while the financial predators continue to rape and plunder and kill. They make us think that we need them, even as they lead us into a worsening nightmare life on Earth. WE DON'T NEED THEM!

Real reform means reorganizing, as through bankruptcy, their fetid system, with its control over the issuance and price of money, and replacing it with sovereign credit systems. It means an end to the power of the private central banks, beginning with the Federal Reserve, and a return to the principles laid out in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.

Anything that reeks of globalization, we toss. Beginning with the idea any global tax to support global financial tyranny. Same goes with cap and trade, and all the other greenie taxes. No public funding of imperial schemes!

Derivatives regulation is easy. We outlaw derivatives. All derivatives contracts currently outstanding are declared null and void, and all new contracts prohibited. Problem solved.

The mountain of speculative debt gets written off through the bankruptcy reorganization, and the banking system that emerges from that process will operate under the Glass-Steagall standard. We will have banks, not casinos—and we'll make sure they behave. Banking serves the society and economy, not the other way around!

We'll set up a new Bank of the United States, to act as the intermediary between the government and the private banking system. We'll audit the Fed, after we shut it down.

Lesser measures, such as the moves in Congress to reinstate Glass-Steagall, are useful and should be encouraged—as long as everyone understands that they are steps along the way to a larger solution, and not solutions in and of themselves. We must not fall into the trap of confusing winning a battle or two with winning the war. Truly, whole civilizations have been lost to such errors.

Finally, we need to change, so that we citizens can understand what can and must be done, and make it happen.

Just reading the lyrics comes nowhere close to doing these justice. Listen. Act.

ObamaCare
MP3 Audio

You better not cough,
You better not sneeze,
You better not get a fatal disease,
Obama's keeping healthcare costs down,

He's making a list,
And checking with NICE,
If keeping you breathing is worth the price,
Obama's keeping healthcare costs down,

Obamacare is thrifty,
'Cuz they don't give a damn,
If you are under fifty and you need a mammogram,

So you better be young,
With plenty of cash,
Or help shave off his Hitler mustache,
Obama's keeping healthcare costs down,

Obama's health advisers,
Are genocidal jerks,
Just like the Nazi doctors that were hanged at Nuremberg,

Obama's healthcare,
It mustn't be passed,
So light a fire on your congressman's ass.
Obama's keeping healthcare costs down.

Obama's lost it all
MP3 Audio

What kind of president is this,
Emitting noble gasses,
A Nobel Prize winning piece of work,
Who's trying to kill the masses,

Obama has lost it all,
For a little queen who's not so tall,
Obama is plunging fast,
Don't let your country go with him,

Somewhere between East Anglia,
And the Chicago Board of Trade,
A green financial bubble grows,
As'the City of London gets paid,

Obama has lost it all,
For a little queen who's not so tall,
Obama is plunging fast,
Don't let your country go with him,

A global holocaust is here,
But citizens do not dismay,
If Mars we reach in'a fusion fleet,
Then safely we'll be out of harm's way,

Obama has lost it all,
For a little queen who's not so tall,
Obama is plunging fast,
Don't let your country go with him.

Outside of a shelter
MP3 Audio

Outside of a shelter you wait for a bed,
thrown out before Christmas all thanks to Fed,
Foreclosures are soaring and credit has froze,
But where's Barney Bailout nobody knows,

Away in London they scheme for your life,
Obama bends over to prince Philips' wife,
In DC he gave all you had to the banks,
On London's orders he'll bring out the tanks,

We warned Barney Frank but he said things were fine,
Guess what? He's a liar and you're on the line,
The system is crashing but it's not your fate,
Now pass the LaRouche Plan before it's too late,

Tell congress move over we're taking your job,
Vote Rachel for Congress she'll clean out the slobs,
The future is calling for you to embrace,
Put Rachel in congress and mankind in space.
----------------------------------------


The unemployment line

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
Obama's little mustache,

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
Bailout Barney Frank,
And Obama's little mustache,

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
Nancy Pelosi,
Bailout Barney Frank,
And Obama's little mustache,

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
London's little queen,
Nancy Pelosi,

And Obama's little mustache,

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
They're worse than Bush,
London's little queen,

And Obama's little mustache,

Who should be sent to the unemployment line?
Evil Peter Orzag,
Timothy Geithner,
Ben Bernanke,
They're worse than Bush,

They'll kill us all,
London's little queen,

China Youth Daily Covers LaRouche Youth At Copenhagen Summit

December 19, 2009 (LPAC)—"Global warming? I don't believe it!" This was how China Youth Daily began an article today on growing "global warming skepticism" after speaking to Sebastian Perimony, a LaRouche Youth organizer outside the Copenhagen global warming summit. "Every day outside the Copenhagen climate conference stand a group of European protesters. They are passing out leaflets, shouting 'Global warming is a lie!,' making known to the people around them their firm skepticism over the notion of global warming.... They are members of a non-governmental organization supporting the so-called LaRouche Plan, and on the issue of 'climate change' they're going against the mainstream of public opinion.

"Standing in the midst of Copenhagen's Raadhustorg, one young Frenchman passing out leaflets, named Perimony, pointed to the pictures on his placard and asked the China Youth Daily Reporter, 'Who do you think is the biggest liar when it comes to global warming?' On his poster he had the pictures of some of the British supporters of global warming, global warming economist, Nicholas Stern, Prince Charles, who established an international environmental protection foundation, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is supporting climate change measures in his state, and wants California to be in the vanguard climate change movement, as well as some world leaders."

"We are not interested in the establishment of a world unitary executive," China Youth Daily quotes Perimony as saying.

The article then goes on to explain how the global-warming skepticism is greater in the U.S. than in Europe, proceeding to cite Dale Robertson, the organizer of the Tea Party organization, and Richard Sandersen, a global-warming skeptic from MIT. China Youth Daily then gives some of the poll numbers indicating this growing skepticism, with an ABC poll showing that the number of people who believe that global warming is actually occurring has fallen from 80% to 72%, and a Pew Institute poll showing that only 57% of the population believe that there is evidence of global warming (down from 71% last year), and that only 36% believe that it is caused by human activity (down from 47% in 2008).

The article ends by quoting a Chinese energy expert, Yang Fuqiang, who says that the growing skepticism about global warming may result in new studies being conducted, "stricter and more rational," that might provide a competent basis for drawing conclusions in the matter.

We Have To Bring Forward the Positive.

We have to bring forward the positive. The appeal of scandal doesn't get to the point. The negative is necessary to show what the enemy is doing; in that sense, it is relevant. But it merely goes to the symptoms of the horrors oozing around and toward us, not to the alternative.

The whole system is coming down. There are a number of measures on the table, contrary to Larry Summers. And our job is to recruit around the positive.
