LAROUCHE
DELIVERS A BLOODY NOSE TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE
by Jeffrey Steinberg
August 15, 2009 - The British
imperial interests have suffered a serious blow at the
hands of Lyndon LaRouche, and they are reeling from
the impact of that unanticipated strategic setback.
Over the past 72 hours, President Barack Obama's
failure to deliver on a made-in-London euthanasia
scheme, disguised as a health-care "reform"
program, has shocked the British media and the entire
British political Establishment, and prompted them to
launch a desperate defense of the British National
Health Service and its affiliated NICE "death
panel," which is the model for Obama's plan.
"The British elites suddenly found themselves
facing a significant strategic defeat, in the face of
the massive and spreading American popular revolt
against the Obama Administration, and they were forced
to launch an all-out defense of their own deeply
flawed health-care system, as their last chance to
salvage their Obama project," one senior U.S.
intelligence source told EIR yesterday. "The
issue is, London losing its grip over the Obama White
House, and that is a really big deal, given all they
have invested in that program."
Indeed, in response to the continuing mass strike
ferment throughout the United States against the Obama
Administration's failed policies, the British media,
from the Fabian Society-linked London Guardian to the
right-wing Tory Daily Telegraph, is carrying out a
coordinated black propaganda campaign, to save
London's grip over the White House-by defending
British health care as a world-class system-far better
than that of the United States. The normally
middle-of-the-road British Independent today ran an
article, headlined, "The brutal truth about
America's health care," describing the thousands
of poor people who turned out in Los Angeles for free
health care, and defending the Obama plan. The
Independent screed is typical of the propaganda line
coming from the entire British media this past week.
Politicians from Labour Party Prime Minister Gordon
Brown, to his Tory opponent David Cameron, have also
delivered nearly identical defenses of the British
system. Given the top-down orchestration of British
politics, it is not unfair to presume that the Queen's
Privy Council, headed by Lord Peter Mandelson, issued
orders for the engineered effort last week, when the
situation in the United States broke totally out of
control.
- LaRouche Is To Blame -
The single biggest cause of hysteria from British
quarters is the fact that Lyndon LaRouche has been
publicly identified as the catalyst of the revolt
against the Obama White House's efforts to shove a
Hitlerian euthanasia scheme down the throats of the
American people. Beginning with the Aug. 6 Romulus,
Mich. town hall meeting by Rep. John Dingell (D), the
LaRouche Political Action Committee poster, depicting
President Obama with a Hitler mustache and the
caption, "I've Changed," has grabbed
headlines in newspapers around the United States and
around the world.
This past week, as town hall protests swelled in size,
more and more U.S. and international media began
airing interviews with LaRouche PAC organizers; and
the Washington Times went so far as to publish an
interview with EIR Editor-in-Chief Nancy Spannaus,
spelling out LaRouche's critique of the Obama health
plan scheme, and his alternative.
The next day, an hysterical reporter for the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conducted a live
interview with LaRouche national spokesperson, Debra
Freeman, in which Freeman launched into a frontal
attack against the British health-care system, as a
genocidal mess.
LaRouche's well-documented denunciation of the Obama
Administration's plan for the creation of IMAC
(Independent Medical Advisory Council), modeled on
Hitler's September-October 1939 T-4 program of
government enforced euthanasia, has been picked up by
leading Republican Party figures, including House
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio); former Alaska
governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin;
conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan; and scores
of lesser known columnists, bloggers, and activists.
One senior political operative told EIR that the
Republican Party, desperate to regroup after the
electoral defeats of 2006 and 2008, picked up the
LaRouche attacks on the Obama health-care swindle,
studied the documentation, concluded that LaRouche was
absolutely correct, and jumped on the bandwagon. By
last week, according to the source, every faction
within the GOP had picked up on the LaRouche
message-to the point that a frantic Karl Rove jumped
in, to warn Republicans that they were losing control
over the issue to LaRouche.
Furthermore, a wide range of Democratic Party-linked
voices, from The Nation's David Greider, to the New
York Times's Frank Rich, to cultural commentator Eli
Siegel, to Arianna Huffington, have also joined the
attack on President Obama, denouncing him for cutting
a dirty backroom deal with "Big Pharma" and
"Big Insurance," and accusing him of being a
corporativist-i.e., a fascist.
In fact, White House sources have leaked to the media,
some details of the agreement, reached in recent
weeks, between PhRMA, the industry lobbying group, and
the President, further fueling the "revolt from
the left" against Obama.
What LaRouche started, on April 11, 2009, with his
webcast warning that Obama suffers from a severe
"Nero Complex," has now mushroomed into a
far-reaching popular revolt. The ostensible issue is
the President's fascist health-care scheme, but
underlying factor, is that the American people are fed
up with bailouts of Wall Street at taxpayers' expense,
massive job losses, home foreclosures, and the
bankrupting of nearly every state
government-translating into a collapse in social
services, and even basic infrastructure like schools,
hospitals, and core transportation systems.
That London is acutely aware of the danger that such a
popular revolt-informed by LaRouche's clear
alternative recovery policies-represents, was made
perfectly clear by a pair of articles, that both
appeared in the past 24 hours.
Edward Luce, the London Financial Times Washington
bureau chief, penned an article today, dripping with
sarcasm, titled "Healthcare paranoia is part of
America's culture war," which did, in fact, admit
that the health-care battle is actually a much deeper
one, centered on American values and the U.S.
Constitution. "Anyone who visits a few of this
month's rowdy town hall meetings can grasp that
opposition to Mr Obama's healthcare proposals is a
lightning rod to a far larger world view, which seeks
to protect American values and the US constitution
from an alien takeover," Luce writes. "Their
issues are diverse. But their sentiment is common:
America's constitution is being trashed by un-American
values.... No amount of contrary evidence will
puncture the view that Mr Obama plans to establish
'death panels' that will decide which grannies get to
live or die. Nor will reason counter the view that
countries such as Canada and the UK push their weakest
to the back of the queue.... Forget the details of
healthcare reform. The side that identified with
American values will get the upper hand."
The second article, posted on the widely read
Huffington Post, written by Chris Weigant, went
directly at the central issue that has London and Wall
Street totally up in arms: The fact that the
decades-old containment of LaRouche has totally broken
down.
Back in 1976, Washington Post editorial writer Stephen
Rosenfeld published a now-infamous op-ed, speaking for
the Anglo-American Establishment media. He declared
that, henceforth, there could be no media coverage of
LaRouche, that was anything other than a mocking
slander. Rosenfeld put in writing, what had been
delivered, face-to-face, in December 1971, as an
official Establishment pronouncement to LaRouche.
Sidney Hook, the grand-master of the Congress for
Cultural Freedom, told LaRouche, moments after he had
decimated Keynsian economist Abba Lerner at a Queens
College debate, that he would be placed under total
containment. LaRouche had dared to commit the crime of
publicly proving, before a large university audience,
that Professor Lerner was a devotee of Hitler's chief
economist Hjalmar Schacht.
In his Huffington Post rant, Weigant assailed the
Establishment media for breaking the more than 35-year
containment pact: "I truly believe that some of
the overpaid well-coiffed talking heads on television
finally woke up and became embarrassed that they were
lending so much legitimacy to people who normally
would be referred to as the 'tin-foil hat brigade'
(see, for example: followers of Lyndon LaRouche).
There's an unspoken rule in the mainstream media that
once a consensus is reached that any one person or
group is from 'the fringe,' then all they deserve from
that point on is ridicule. Look at how they treated
Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul in last year's campaign,
for instance.
"But," Weigant continues, "the media
found themselves in a quandry last week. They loved
the 'angry person screaming at member of Congress'
video so much (and ran it so many times) that they
knew they were culpable...."
The reality is obviously more profound than Weigant's
nasty admission about the Establishment media's
black-balling. LaRouche called the shot on President
Obama's Nero Complex, and dared to draw the accurate
historical parallels between the President's
healthcare reform swindle, and Hitler's universally
despised T-4 euthanasia program, which was the
precursor to the concentration camps and the
Holocaust. As events proved LaRouche to be right, and
as the American people suddenly woke up one day and
realized that they were about to lose everything,
because they had foolishly gone along with a culture
and an economic policy that has brought us to the
brink of total breakdown, all hell broke loose.
- For the Record, Mr. President -
After initially cancelling all scheduled town hall
appearances by President Obama, the White House spin-meisters
decided last week that the President had to be sent
out to salvage his all-but-lost health-care reform
plan. A series of tightly screened and engineered
"town hall" meetings were thus staged, to
give the President the opportunity to lie through his
teeth. President Obama tried-unsuccessfully-to
reassure the American people that he does not plan to
create "death panels" to set limits on
medical care.
But, at the same time that Obama was visiting New
Hampshire, Montana, and Colorado, delivering carefully
scripted lies to carefully screened audiences, sources
on Capitol Hill were telling a far different story to
EIR. In fact, the top White House health-care aides,
from Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, to Office of
Management and Budget director Peter Orszag-to Dr.
Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm's brother and a leading
euthanasia advocate-were all arm-twisting and
threatening Congressional leaders, telling them that
the only issue that is not up for negotiation is the
President's plan to create an independent board, to
set absolute limits on health-care services and
payments. The very "death panel" that the
President said was off the table, is the only issue
that the White House insists is non-negotiable.
One senior U.S. intelligence source verified the
Congressional accounts and explained that the
President has been sold on the need for massive
austerity. "The bailout could cost $24 trillion,
so there have to be austerity cuts, to reduce the
Federal deficit," the source revealed.
"Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and White House
chief economic advisor Larry Summers have both
promised the Chinese, and other major holders of U.S.
government debt, that there will be massive cuts, to
reduce the deficit. Unless they get their independent
panel, to impose severe cuts in health-care services
and payments, they won't succeed.
"This is what the President believes, for now.
Health care is just one part of the overall austerity
scheme they are trying to pull off."
These austerity schemes are doomed to fail, and that
poses the next big question for Obama's ultimate
controllers in London: When do they decide that the
President is beyond salvation, and what do they do
then? For the moment, they are reeling from a serious
defeat on a major battlefront, a defeat that they
identify with the name "LaRouche."
