from Columnist Paul Krugman wins Nobel economics prize:

Commenting on the global economic meltdown, Krugman told a news conference in Stockholm by telephone from the United States that some of his research was linked to currency crises and related issues.

"This is terrifying," he said, comparing it to the financial crisis that gripped Asia in the 1990s. "I had never thought that in my lifetime I would see anything that resembles the Great Depression, but this in fact does."

[end of excerpt]

Contrast this with LaRouche's decades-long warning that the crash would occur if "free trade" weren't abolished.  Even with these warnings, Krugman claims to have been taken by surprise.  Sounds to me that certain people, with Krugman's help, are just trying to pretend that LaRouche doesn't exist - a variant on the oft-heard claims that "nobody saw this coming" and "there is no magic bullet."  There is in fact a solution, and it's called the American System, based on the General Welfare clause of the Constitution, NATIONAL banking (not British-controlled central banking), competition in the realm of ideas, and cooperation on a vast scale in the realm of production.  If Krugman doesn't finally use his fame to push this system, or at least some aspects of it, he'll dig himself quite a deep grave.

Because I've been monitoring LaRouche's publications for years, it's easy for me to see through the truly sad lies spewing from Mammon's "financial experts" these days.  Their basic strategy is, as I indicated below, to blame the effects of their "rescue" on "the downturn" which we are to believe their "rescue" can stop, when in fact it is intended to destroy the global economy.  Read LaRouche yourself, and you'll soon learn to recognize all those "lofty pronouncements" emanating from the high priesthood of money aren't so mysterious after all, but just a bunch of crap.

Well, he got us into Iraq on the basis of a campaign of gargantuan lies, and now he's telling us, in concert with the very financiers who created the financial/economic crisis precisely in order to destroy global civilization, that he's got a solution: convert the oceans of worthless financial paper into US debt or currency.  This will lead to a global "Weimar," with no hope of being rescued from some outside nations, as was Germany.

Images: Bush and Rumsfeld at Pentagon on day after 9/11.  Note Bush's candid expression, followed by his realization that he was on camera, followed by an expression of irritation.  It's almost as if the photos depict a process of a monster gloating over an accomplishment, followed by a quick "morph" into the Dubya we all know and hate.

If you aren't familiar with financial derivatives and their significance to the economy, I highly recommend Derivatives or Civilization, Take Your Pick.  It really drives home the sheer insanity of trying to bail out bankers who have resorted to this form of "investment," and the sheer evil of those (such as honorary British knight Alan Greenspan) who defended derivatives and those who advocate bailing them out, knowing how insane it is and what effect it will have.

Don't overlook the possibility, as is the case in the "war on terror," that the real purpose of the recently-reported "redeployment" of US military forces to police duty in the US  is precisely the opposite of its ostensible purpose - i.e. to unleash terrorism in the US and to blame it on innocents who are then dubbed "enemy combatants" and tormented until they go insane.  Thankfully there are a few in power taking issue with Bush's subversive actions, along with many influential columnists.

I find it interesting that Palin, with the usual suspicious "extreme fundamentalist" (wink, wink) background, and the fixation of those involved with all sorts of subjects related to Satanism, would be "blessed" by a "witch hunter."  I figure it was just another hint of her actual orientation.

We will be told that the worsening economic collapse caused by the government's dissemination of vast amounts of worthless money, and the lack of crucial construction and production (which is what gives a national currency its value), is being caused by an inadequate "bailout" pace.  This is no different than the old line that the economic decline caused by "free trade" was caused by insufficient "free trade."

Bush's real expectations for his "economic recovery" (i.e. of the US as a British colony) can be seen in his plans to utilize American military forces to "maintain order."  For all we know, it's the Phoenix Program coming home to roost in America - to eliminate everyone possible who could help to organize a real recovery, as was done in Vietnam and Iraq. (The units being employed are apparently no longer needed in Iraq, since it's been utterly destroyed, and everyone there has been terrorized and tortured.)  One of the more ominous articles I've seen so far on this is Bush Calls Out the Army To Enforce the Bailout.

So, let me see if I got this right:  we have to pay trillions to bankers who have shown criminal stupidity (at best) in their loaning policies, in order to get them to loan some of it back - maybe.  Sounds like a bad bet to me.

Why not let them suffer the consequences of their stupidity, as they insist we do for our stupidity (i.e. trusting them) while protecting the necessary functions of the banking system, and loan trillions to ourselves for infrastructure projects which would create vast numbers of good, productive jobs?  If you agree, you're a "LaRouchie" and should support him!  The window on the opportunity to save civilization is closing fast, so don't dawdle.

EIR's financial specialist John Hoefle has a knack for writing articles that put the big economic picture in terms most people can understand.  His recent article about the Great Bailout, entitled The Biggest Swindle Ever Pulled!, cuts through all the smokescreens and distractions being created by the media circus, which is a an integral part of the con-game, and lets us know what's happening, and what should be happening instead.

He points out that merely reshuffling debts cannot solve the problem, because we simply aren't producing what we need, which includes the tools of efficient production.  (Economics can be thought of as a process of determining the best way to provide what we need.) 

It's no accident that we have arrived at this situation - the enemies of mankind have manipulated us into applying frosting (building overpriced "dream homes") on a rotting infrastructure-cake, which is now crumbling under the frosting.  The economy needs to be reorganized to efficiently produce what we need (such as efficient transportation instead of ever more cars on crowded, crumbling strips of asphalt), and will need soon as the infrastructure continues to rot.

"[The Third Wave movement which spawned Sarah Palin] is based on the idea that in the end times there will be an outpouring of supernatural powers on a group of Christians that will take authority over the existing church and the world."

from Christian Fundamentalism Permeates the Republican Party: Sarah Palin’s links to the Christian Right by F. William Engdahl
 

Hmmm - to what "supernatural powers" might this refer?  Consider this:

"... the [Triangles] network formed by many thousands of interlinked triangles [cells] is FIRST OF ALL a worldwide group channel  for the downpouring of spiritual energy into human consciousness...." 
                            from the official Lucis Trust "Triangles" website (Triangles is Satanism, disguised on the Triangles site as a benevolent organization, by describing it in a highly ambiguous "code."  A couple of prime examples of this code are "the Great Invocation" and "invocative activity,"  which are "code" for SRA (routine deliberate cruelty of a range of intensities including torture-murder).
