it is way past time to return to the ideology and policies of FDR


Readers Comments

The “economic royalists” are running run wild again; it is way past time to return to the ideology and policies of FDR, to once again save the nation from collapse and war. The international financial system is in much worse shape today than then – it has only been concealed by the bankers arithmetic and Enron-style accounting tricks, and their game is about up, as evidenced by the admissions of a growing number of their own members as of the past week! None other than ‘royalists' such as the New York Bankers Association's John Reich, the IMF's Rodrigo Rato, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank (not to mention the questions as to the reason why BRAD BELT, executive director of the PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORP, announced that he would be resigning, with no public reason as to why) all warning of the growing dangers of a blowout of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac housing mortgage market. The most telling thing about the Washington Post's recent Business-section report is that leading circles around the Federal Reserve system have decided that it is time to warn the insiders of the financial community to take action to cut their inevitable losses!



As the FDR-style Democrat and top American economist, Lyndon LaRouche, has been warning for years.. it is time to admit that nearly every policy that has been approved since FDR died, which have slowly reversed his programs, has been the most terrible of mistakes, especially for the middle class and the poor. As LaRouche has said in his most recent article – “When the bankruptcy of leading banks behind the present global hedge-fund bubble is taken into account, the world monetary-financial system is presently in such a state that nothing less than putting the IMF system itself into bankruptcy reorganization would be indispensable for preventing the collapse of the world economy into a planetary new dark age comparable to that of Europe's Fourteenth-Century collapse of the Venetian

system represented by Lombard League's "hedge-fund" peddlers,

such as the Bardi's infamous "Biche" and "Mouche."



Read LaRouche's new pamphlet on a return to the FDR legacy to reeducate yourself on Roosevelt's history and what we must do today to reverse the demise of our nation and save the world economy in the process. Then and only then, when true economic justice prevails for all mankind will the end to terrorism be a possibility.



Below is another example of the ideology of Lyndon LaRouche thru his support for John Conyers' bill on healthcare.



-- IMPOSE THE LITMUS TEST -- - EVERY CONGRESSMAN MUST OPPOSE THE HMO SYSTEM, OR ELSE -

Today's message is straightforward: We demand that all members of Congress support getting rid of the HMO system, and support the Conyers bill for universal health care, or else be prepared to be kicked out of office. Every single member of Congress must be put on the line.

In this case, there is a litmus test to check the morality of your Congressman or Congresswoman. Lyndon LaRouche has called for us to go on the warpath: Those who don't support the Conyers' reform of health care, must be punished by being defeated.

The Conyers bill, H.R. 676, is called the United States National Health Insurance Act. It would establish an American national health insurance program, creating a publicly financed, privately delivered health care system that would provide all Americans with access to the highest quality and most cost-effective health care services regardless of their employment, income, or health care status. No copays or deductibles would be permissible, and no private health insurers would be permitted to sell coverage that duplicates the public system.

In other words, the Conyers bill would eliminate the HMO system, creating a ``not-for-profit'' system that would provide health care, and prescription drugs, for all.

Now is the time for the moral line to be drawn. We are in a three-month period, between now and the end of June, which will be fatal to the bankrupt world financial system. As a result of Alan Greenspan's insanity, the leading bankers have been forced to put a lid on the carry trade, and the hedge funds are being squeezed tighter and tighter. The word is out that the hyperinflationary game is over: what's on is the scramble for survival.

The Synarchist bankers used speculation in real estate to try to save their system. Now the collapse of real estate will break the system. The hotspot -- Ground Zero -- is Loudoun County , but the same process has occurred throughout the nation as a whole.

Lyn's article in the upcoming EIR will make the point brutally clear, but we summarize it here: The system is finished. You've lost not only your physical conditions of life, but your ideological way of life. That has come to an end, and there is no alternative to the changes that have to be made, the changes that LaRouche has been laying out for decades, and will lay out once again.

Afraid of being left with no health care, and no housing either? Go after your Congressman, and get him or her to support Conyers' bill.

1. Absolutely...
When BushCo is finished, we'll need a major New Deal-type overhaul.

4. How About a Rolling STAND-DOWN for the whole kit and caboodle?
The Armed Services do just that on a regular basis - each unit stands down, evaluates it's progress from last stand-down, notes areas of concern and writes up an evaluation with deadlines for followup.

I would also suggest putting the presidency on sabbatical for 2 years. The next person elected - their ONLY JOB during that time would be a complete evaluation of the Executive Branch and the Departments. An independent panel of past presidents and constitutional scholars would be the vehicle for the final report. That report would be delivered to the CONGRESS for evaluation and follow-up. (They have the PURSE STRINGS.)

THEN.....the NEXT 2 years would be used for a rolling stand-down of CONGRESS...the NEXT 2 years - the JUDICIAL....

STAND DOWNS should be A REGULAR POINT OF ORDER every 20 years on a rolling basis.

Any good company structure does this as a part of good business practices.

13. The Powers That Be have been slowly transforming
The New Deal over the last few decades to enslave and harm those it was suppose to help, with layers of laminated laws to shackle 'We The People' to the Corporate Government Store. BushCo is just the fascist idiot thug of FDR's days, willing to drive the nation over the cliff to speed up the process.

Since the Powers That Be have played their hand without mercy, they should be forced to suffer the same fate with a major overhaul and correction to benefit 'We The People.'

No fucking mercy should be considered, either they are for a strong America for all or they hate America. The greedy bastards are running with it, while in control, so piss on them all tomorrow. The pain the few will feel, is nothing compared to the pain and suffering they have imposed on the many.

Democratic Politicians everywhere, stop selling yourself to Corporate America, you represent 'We The People.' People are sick and tired of the systemic ethical failures that excludes large segments from your constituents, from representation. It's difficult to convince over half the population to vote, when they see you only representing Corporate America, instead of the working class who did vote for you. You want to dramatically increase Democratic votes, return to what put you in power and made America strong, the working class. Don't sacrifice the working class for the sake of avoiding a class war, that has already been underway for years.

2. Lyndon LaRouche?
Got to that part and stopped reading

Even if you believe half the things written about him, it makes you wonder.

3. He is, indeed, a full blown nut-bar, but that doesn't mean he's wrong
100% of the time.

5. Not to disparage what FDR did in total, but we can certainly live without
his propping up the very institutions that have brought us back to this state of emergency. The banking, insurance, and health-care industries must be eliminated and outlawed as private enterprises to stop the cycle. If we fail to do this, we will find ourselves right back here within a generation.

9. Is this just a reactionary forum?...
I don't believe anyone here actually reads anything for content...

Think people...Think!....

This is about Conyers bill, not LaRouche!...

"I got to the part about LaRoache and quit reading" do people just get to a part that they understand then write an opinion? This wasn't about LaRouche!...

There is no hope...forget I even tried!...

14. Me too but then I'm more a multitasking type...
I'm for this too...

In other words, the Conyers bill would eliminate the HMO system, creating a ``not-for-profit'' system that would provide health care, and prescription drugs, for all.
