Endorse the Call:  Put the “LaRouche-Plan to Save the
World Economy” on the Agenda! Statement

Endorse
this Call
The hour of truth has come. The same zombie banks that have driven the
world economy to the brink of total chaos, and deprived hundreds of
millions of people of the means of existence, that have shifted the
costs of the destruction onto the taxpayers, and saddled the public
budgets with astronomical debt, are at it again, engaging in high-risk
operations and paying mega-bonuses to their managers.
The real economy is in a free fall, internationally, massive
lay-offs are throwing people into despair, and the number of
hungry people has gone over the one billion mark for the first
time. The de facto policy of genocide being implemented, with the
intention of reducing the Earth's population from 7 billion to 2
billion people as an anti-crisis measure, threatens all mankind.
Following a short period of panic, in October 2008, when
calls for a new financial architecture were heard, the financial
powers of the British Empire reasserted themselves completely at
the three G20 Summits in Washington, London, and Pittsburgh, and
demonstrated that governments are simply the enforcement agencies
of the banks. The urgently needed reorganization was prevented
and the systemic crisis got even worse. We are now faced with a
new mega-crash, and an imminent hyperinflationary explosion. A
casino economy cannot bring the world out of the crisis.
And, the most incredible of all, is that no analysis of the
causes of this crisis has been made, even though it threatens to
become the greatest challenge in the history of mankind. Rather
than facing the fact that the entire caste of economists has
failed miserably, the various experts are making the absurd claim
that no one could have forecast the crisis, and that everyone was
taken by surprise. Or, alternatively, all kinds of investment
advisors and so-called gold bugs now claim they had long warned
of the crisis.
The truth is that many people in high-placed positions, as
well as ordinary citizens in many countries, know that there is
one man who foresaw the crisis a long time ago: Lyndon LaRouche.
To cite just one example among many, Massimo Pini, a former
member of the Board of Directors of the Italian state company
IRI, a government advisor and close friend of former Italian
Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, wrote in the January 2008 issue of
the Italian monthly Area, that Lyndon LaRouche
was the only
economist who had in fact forecast the catastrophe in many, many
publications, and that at a time when no one else suspected such
a thing.
As anyone interested in the truth can verify for himself,
LaRouche has warned of the systemic crisis since 1971, and at
every branching point where decisions were made to strengthen the
monetarist system, he warned of the dangers involved and,
especially since the beginning of the 1990s, of the coming
systemic crisis.
Over 12 years ago, the Ukrainian economist Natalia Vitrenko
and the President of the Schiller Institute, Helga Zepp-LaRouche,
released a call for the new Bretton Woods System proposed by
LaRouche, which has since been signed by many thousands of people
in important institutions on five continents.
It is now of existential importance to grapple with the
economic method that allowed Lyndon LaRouche to recognize the
systemic errors of monetarism, because this method is a reliable
guarantee for finding a way out of the crisis. In this crisis, we
should definitely not listen to those who were surprised by the
crisis, and who have learned nothing in the meantime.
The basis exists, and it is urgently necessary, for the Four
Power Agreement between the USA, Russia, China, and India, which
LaRouche has proposed, to be realized. These leading nations,
first and foremost, must unite their efforts for a radical reform
of the world financial and monetary system, eliminating
speculative financial bubbles (derivatives). These countries must
ensure, for mankind, that the world monetary system is
subordinated to the power of sovereign nations. These countries
must create a new credit system, to provide long-term investments
in national economies. And the main project should be to build
the Eurasian land-bridge.
The fate of humanity is hanging by a thread. What we
urgently need is an open discussion on the forecasts and
solutions of Lyndon LaRouche. As the former President of Mexico,
Lopez Portillo, put it already in 1998: It is time to listen to
the wise words of Lyndon LaRouche!
