From the Editor
As we go to press on June 4, the Schiller Institute of Helga Zepp
LaRouche has convened in Bonn, Germany an interational confer
ence dedicated to the theme of "ensuring lasting peace in Europe,"
The conference will address head-on the fact that the cruel Serbian
war of aggression against Bosnia and its other neihbors is occurring
in the heart of Europe, and that European civilization is at stake in
that war, The failure to date of wester goverments to respond
adequately to this atrocity in an area formerly under communist rule
carries a grim augury for the rest of Europe and the world.
One European nation, Italy, is feeling the effects of the break
down in a most violent manner. Our cover photograph evokes a
familiar image of Italy's universal contributions. This view of Flore
nce is dominated by the great monuments of the 15th- and 16th
century Renaissance. At the photo's center, in front of the battle
ments and high tower of Palazzo Vecchio, run the two long parallel
wings of the U-shaped building known as the Ufzi. Once the ofces
(ugzi)of the Medici ducal goverment, and today a world-renowned
a gallery, the Ufzi was ripped by a car-bom on May 26 which
killed fve people, ravaged numerous works of a, and nearly blew
up some of the greatest Renaisance pictures.
Florence Cathedral's dome, which soars over this vista, was a
technical and economic feat as well as an artistic one, erected in
1420-36 by architect Filippo Brunelleschi, who set out to unseat the
stifing power of the trade guilds by unleashing skilled labor under
the guidance of his irreverent genius. The mathematical secrets
which had been the exclusive property of the guilds he transformed
into the basis of a future industrial revolution.
Italian industrialist Enrico Mattei, the subject of our cover lca-
turc, set out to continue what Brunelleschi and his co-thinkers had
begun-to overtur the oligarchy's privileges and lay the basis for
rapid industrial growth which would unleash the latent energies of
vast sectors of the population previously oppressed by poverty.
While less familiar than the Florentine skyline, the massive pipelines
and refneries of Enrico Mattei's ENI are equally essential to Italy's
identity as a nation, and equally the target of the recent, freemasonic
inspired attacks.

Behind Polad's _rCDI
crisis: Soros ad UCL
by Fank Hahn and William Engdahl
How is it possible that an electrician, who became President
through an unusual set of circumstances , could bring an en
tire nation to the brink of disaster? And what is he doing it
for? For a Mercedes 600, a night in bed with the queen, or
only for a promise to be invited to Henry Kissinger' s 80th
birthday, ten years from now?
Lech Walesa, who was hailed as a freedom fghter during
the 1 980s , has now quietly led a second "revolution" in Po
land, making himself the dictator. Over the weekend of May
29-3 1 , the goverment of Prime Minister Hanna Suchocka
lost a parliamentary vote of no confdence, only to be tempo
rarily reinstated by Walesa, who simultaneously dissolved
the Parliament, pending new elections in September.
Walesa' s dissolution of the Parliament is part of a coher
ent strategy on the part of himself and his foreign fnancial
backers . A series of wage strikes by public teachers and
hospital workers during May, led by the goverment-linked
Solidamosc union, was used to create the staged crisis and
to give Walesa the pretext to impose an interim "rule by
decree" under Suchocka. Informed Polish sources expect that
this interregnum without parliamentary opposition will be
used to force through the privatization of state enterprises on
a massive scale, which until now has been politically risky
for the goverment . The period around Jul y, when the gov
erment' s new value-added tax on all sectors of the economy
goes into effect , will be critical , as many state sector frms
will become de facto bankrupt through the added tax burden,
while the goverment has exempted privatized frms from
taxation for periods up to fve years .
The imposition of such dictatorial "rule by decree" in
Poland, is to be the model for the rest of easter Europe and
Russia.
Walesa himself is just acting as a pawn, an instrument in
4 Economics
the hands of those who want to destroy Poland fom outside.
Such forces include:
"Project Democracy, " those friends of Oliver Norh,
who specialize not only in e ars-for-drugs trade (Iran
Contra), but have also becoe "expers" in the destabil iza
tion of regions and nations . These circles play an infuential
role in the privatization of Pol ish industr-as , for example,
the case of Rober Polland, who founded the U.S.-Polish
Business Foundation. He cones from "Project Demoracy"
circles and has been trying fr months to el iminate a lage
chunk of Polish shipbuilding trough prvat ization.
George Soros , that big fsh among the fnancial sharks ,
who last year not only made pure proft of $280 mill ion by
speculation against the Italian l ira, but also was rspns ible
for wrecking the European M6netary System, pocketing be
tween $ 1 and $2 billion in the process (see EIR, Feb. 5 , 1 993,
"The Spreading Web of Geoqe Soros"). Soros is demanding
the destruction of industry ir easter Europe, and also in
Russia. The unemployed there a puroredly able to get
along on $6 per month, and is money can supposedly be
easily scratched together in the form chaity from the West
that , in essence, is the so-cal l ed Soros Plan. Soros is the real
brains behind the so-called "Pol ish model" of shock therapy,
which he introduced back in | 988 with communist gover
ment leader Mieczyslaw Rakowski . The diry work of putting
this program into action, whereby Poland' s l iving standad
was cut in half, was left by the communists to the gover
ments of the post-communist era, staring with Tadeusz Ma-
zowiecki in 1 989.
'
The deindustrializationiof Poland
The entire course of Pol i h economic pol icy s ince the
1 989 power-sharing agreement of the so-called Roundtable
EIR June 11, 1993
Talks between the communist regime and the opposition has
followed a blueprint outlined by Soros . According to knowl
edgeable reports from Poland, Soros , through his Stefan Ba
torj Foundation in Warsaw, held secret talks with the commu
nist Rakowski goverment , together with the Solidarosc
"opposition. " The result was a plan for the privatization of
Polish state-owned enterprises . Under the plan, the gover
ment would set about to deliberately load state enterprises
with huge, unpayable debt , with l 00 or more levels of
interest, combined with added tax burdens . The "bankupt"
frms would then be put onto the interational auction block
to be sold for a small fraction of their true value to wester
investors , where there would be no restrictions on layoffs or
the breakup of companies .
In 1 989, Soros intduced his fend, Harar "shok thera
py" economist Jefy Sachs, t advise the Polish goverment,
in order to give the entire loting scheme the aura of crdibility
and economic "prfessionalism. " Subsequently, multinational
agencies including te Interational Monetary Fund (I and
te World Bank have ben brought in t fher this privatiza
tion scheme. World Bank offcials wer given fll access to the
most sensitive information on the entire Polish coal-mining
sector over the past two years, including wage levels, woring
. conditions, and the status of technology.
Now the IMF and World Bank are demanding, based
on this information, that the goverment shut down large
portions of proftable, high-quality coal mining, at the same
time that they are demanding "openness" from the gover
ment to foreign imports .
'Worse than Stalinism'
The core of the IMF-mandated shock therapy is privatiza
tion, which amounts to a mechanism for laundering drug
money and exploiting healthy enterprises in order to use the
speculative profts from that to prop up the wester fnancial
system. "In Poland, we call this 'thief' s steel , ' .. said an aide
to one senator, who had fought in the underground against
the communists .
Professor Balcerek from Warsaw, whom nobody could
accuse of sympathy with the communists , said it bluntly:
"The forced privatization is worse than Stalinism; Stalin at
least built something!"
In the coming months , a great blow is to be struck against
the still-existing state enterprises . If these businesses in the
areas of optics , electronics , airplane construction, steel , and
shipbuilding are liquidated in forced privatizations , then Po
land will effectively cease to exist as a nation.
An example from the coal industry: The Polish gover
ment has decided, at the behest of the IMF and World Bank,
to cut its coal exports in half in two to three years , to lay off
1 80, 000 workers , and to shut down 50-70mines-and even
to food some of them. Now Poland is beginning to import
coal from Australia, which is cheaper than transporting do
mestic pit coal from Silesia to the port at Gdansk!
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
Careful observers of the Warsaw!situation point out that
the establishment of the "Walesa Ditatorship" is intended
to lead, in the next three to four monhs, to pushing through
the privatization program and the 4estruction of the coal
industry without any parliamentary o
p
position.
This is the context in which th strikes must be seen,
which W alesa' s pals at Solidamosc l atmched at the beginning
of May. The strikers did not put fotward any political de
mands , but were just seeking higher wages , which is unreal
istic without a fundamental change in economic policy. This
necessarily led to a confrontation wi th the goverment, and
eventually to its collapse. All of thi s was planned, in order
to push through the current dictator!hip. Now, Solidamosc
is threatening to call a general strike. The chairman of Sol
idamosc, Marian Krzaklewski , is anjoutspoken supporer of
the IMF.
The situation in Poland is particularly ominous in view
of the fact that the same tendency toward emergency rule can
be observed throughout easter Europe-especially Hungary
and Ukraine, as well as Russia itselfJ
It is also important to take into account that the desperate
economic situation in Silesia is being used by various groups
that are demanding either autonomy for Silesia, or direct
annexation to Germany. Trade unionists from the Silesia coal
mines are already talking about how: Silesia could become a
second Yugoslavia. Along with the threatened explosion in
Russia, a domino efect could occur, threatening to plunge
not only easter Europe, but also wester Europe, into a
maelstrom of violence and civil wat, as the destabilization
of Italy and Germany is rapidly escalating.
Policy alternatives discussed;
There are alteratives to this horror scenario. In Poland
itself, the independent trade union Sclidamosc 80, as well as
the "industry lobby, " are fghting fdr an economic program
based on construction projects . At .he end of May, the au
thors , representing the Schil ler Insti tute, addressed a confer
ence of Solidamosc 80 in the villag of Pogorzelica, on the
Baltic Sea.
Frank Hahn told the group that it will be necessary to
save Poland from outside, since it is being destroyed from
outside. He presented Lyndon LaRouche' s program for a
Eurasian economic recovery, centered around the concept of
a Paris-Berlin-Vienna Productive Trangle.
William Engdahl analyzed the! privatization program,
comparing it to that of the Margaret rhatcher goverment in
Britain, and showing what a disaste it has been wherever it
has been implemented. "In the Melican maquiladoras. " he
said, "30 textile companies went bankrupt, because of
cheap textile imports fom China!" In the United States , he
explained, the current economic cri sis was created by exactly
the same radical free-market ideology, which repudiated the
American System of political econCmy upon which the na
tion' s industrial strength was built .

Only one way out of
Bonn's debt plight
by Volker Hassmann and EIR Staff
"The Keynesian demand-side program ' German Unity' has
fzzled out , the consol idation of national fnances will be in
the foreground for the rest of the decade. " Nothing could
better describe the dilemma of interal German economic
and fnancial policy than this upshot from the conjunctural
expert of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW)
Dr. Heiner Flassbeck, at a technical conference of the Social
Democratic-linked Friedrich Ebert Foundation last Novem
ber entitled "Financing German Unity. " As with all programs
of this sort, what is buring here is only a straw fre, the
smoke of which makes people temporarily forget the eco
nomic catastrophe in the new states . The necessary targeted
investment buildup for overall infrastructural development
and setting up a sound small and middle-sized industrial
sector remain remote. Wester Germany fnds itself in the
worst recession since 1 945, and the reigning economic wis
dom consists of plugging holes in the budget . Any initiative
for real economic development is stifed with the question:
Where will the money come from?
Economic policy in Bonn is in shambles. The mass of
national debt i s growing daily. The latest Bavarian state cen
tral bank estimates , often taken as a forecast , are running
toward a total debt at the end of 1 993 of DM 1 , 670 billion
or 55% of gross domestic product. Federal Germany' s new
debt is supposed to climb to DM 80 billion, double what
Finance Minister Theo Waigel had planned.
Piled up debts
The real public debt burden becomes clear only when of
budget spending and the extraordinary budgets are fgured
in, such as: special reconstruction grants; the German Unity
Fund; development credit funds like the Treuhand (the
agency set up for converting the East German companies) ;
rail , postal system, and the national development banks; and
the cheap credit programs of the Credit Institution for Recon
struction, the German Settlements Bank, and the Berlin In
dustrial Bank. Besides these kitties are the indemnity funds
(compensation for confscations in the former German Dem
ocratic Republic) and a railroad fund (old debt from the feder
al rail system and the Reichsbahn) . The strain on the capital
markets for these is reckoned at DM 1 20 billion for 1 992
plus DM 70 billion net credits received from federal , state,
8 Economics
and municipal goverments" gIVlDg a total new debt of
DM 1 90 billion-70% of domestic savings .
The total debt , though, is higher. At the cited technical
conference in Bonn it was fgured at a minimum of DM 2. 3
trillion by the end of 1 995 ("interreting the present progno
ses benevolently") a debt ratio of 61 % of GDP. What these
fgures still fail to reckon with is the recession, which leads
to exploding social costs and tax revenue drops . In the next
three years , conservatively, a DM 1 00 billion fall in tax reve
nues can be expected.
There is also a negative shift in fnancial fows . The mas
sive capital transfer into the new states , which mainly went
into consumption and not capital investment , tured Gera
ny into a net capital importer. In 1 989-90, DM 80 billion
were still being invested abroad, but in 1 992 domestic sav
ings did not cover the cost of investments at home. A
DM 45 . 6 billion gap had to be flled from foreign sources .
The austerity-based "Solidarity Pact" which the trade
unions signed last year is more or less a dead letter. Chancel
lor Helmut Kohl has taken the fnancial policy reins in hand
himself, and Waigel announed detail s of the program,
which among other things projects deep cuts in social spend
ing to the tune of DM 20 billiQn. When this packet is over
hauled, the defcit is expected tp be held to the present level .
According to Waigel , this means goodbye to rsing economic
expectations .
When a goverment i s forced to constantly revise upwad
its payments to the exploding national debt and the growing
public defcit , normally the oposition' s day ha come. In
deed, pamphlets with speecls fom Social Democratic
think -tank conferences are streming to editors' desks . In the
last months there have been some sensible proposals fom
Social Democrats seeking altetnative approaches to the re
building of the easter Gern economy, such as forer
Labor Minister Ehrenberg' s idea of a DM 1 00 billion infa
structure program. The proble" is fnancing. Under fee ma
ket liberal economic ideology no one dared violate the tabo
against a retur to creation of productive state credits, and
the experts of the Fredrich Ebr Foundation foundered on
the same shoals .
Disappointing balance
The peculiar dynamic of theiGeran economic crsis lies,
according to Dr. Flassbeck, in! the fact that mor and more
wester investors are pulling out from the east . In the "histor
cally unique situation, that an economy shaken to the cor
like the east German one became an ' annex' to the west
German economy, we can hardly afford a recession such as
those we have experenced th times in the past 4 yeas . "
The much-discussed wage gap can, in Flassbeck' s view,
only be overcome if total per [apita investment is heavily
increased. What is key is not te level of wages in the east,
but wages relative to output; la1or costs go down as produc
tivity goes up. Since investmeets are too low, productivity
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
is limping so badly that , despite massive freeing-up of man
pwer, the wage bill in the east is climbing much faster than
in the west .
Dr. Dieter Vesper from the same Berlin institute referred
to the classic dilemma of liberal monetarist policy. National
revenues drop in the crisis, and spending needs grow, and
the fnancial gap widens . Programs for cranking up the real
economy with goverment investments , which then raise the
public defcit, fall victim to the credo of limiting the defcit.
Vesper pointed out that cuts in social spending and public
investment are most counterproductive in economic hard
times, when a policy of support for labor must be deployed
against the conjuncture. Public infrastructure, he added, not
only stimulates private sector growth, but brings its own
benefts in production and employment.
For easter German transport routes alone some DM 1 85
billion needs t o be spent . An energetic buildup of private
economic and public capital stock in the east , estimates one
economist, means an order of scale of over DM 2 trillion,
DM 50 billion of it just for state-fnanced infrastructure
(transport, energy, communications , housing, etc. ) .
Defcit spending or state credit creation?
Within prevailing market-economy logic a paradox en
ters when it comes to fnancing all these desirable programs .
Expansive fnancial policies, hence state investments , which
build up a conjuncture-conditioned defcit , cannot be enacted
because of the dictates of the tight-money austerity policy.
This contradiction lies behind the ultimate senselessness of
"conjunctural programs" and "stimulus packets , " which are
supposed to be offset by the harshest austerity policies.
Now the trend is toward fnancing minimal necessary
investment needs in the new states through tax and rate hikes .
Cologne fnancial scholar Professor Dr. Marckscheidt em
phasizes rightly that "state debt is something thoroughly posi
tive, namely the evidence that the state has carried out public
investments and hence has produced public wealth, of which
the future can make use. " But since 1 990, the state has pro
duced only "wealth for the present , " i . e. , consumption
oriented payment transfers to the east , defrayed by tax in
creases . So now, the defcit fnancing has to be stoppd and
compensated for by fscal fnancing-which boils down to
fguring Qutwhich new taxes and spending cuts can be sold
to the voters .
All these considerations , whether from the regime or
the opposition, block out the main point: that the massive
infrastructure investments, which a surely needed, must
be launched by state creation of productive credits via the
regulated issuance of notes by a national banking system. As
long as these credits are directed exclusively into real physi
cal wealth production, they are not infationary, because the
resultant growth will generate rising tax revenues . A third
way between "defcit spending" and state credit creation does
not exist.

New economic pla
compounds Ira's woes
by Adam K. East
In the 1 970s , the Shah promised a "new civilization" for the
Iranians . He envisioned Iran to be in the same class as the
so-called developed countries by the end of the century. But
due to the utter failure of his own economic policies and
subjected to the West ' s policy of "technological apartheid, "
the monarch was swept away in the violent storm of the
British Petroleum-sponsored Islamic Revolution.
Along came Ayatollah Khomeini and his "Islamic ideas . "
The clergy believed that the ideas of economic development ,
such as industrialization or the expansion of the oil industry,
were part of the "Great Satan' s" campaign aimed at destroy
ing their "Islamic Revolution. "
This resulted i n the mass exodus of thousands of profes
sionals such as doctors , engineers , and the intelligentsia. Iran
was taken back to the age of medieval barbarity. The hard
core Khomeini-ites also believed that "true Muslims" did not
need any luxuries such as furiture or refrigerators , which
resulted in the shutting down of factories and the loss of
thousands of jobs throughout the country. This is just a
glimpse of what the country' s economy went through during
the early phases of the revolution.
Shortly after, Iran fought a bloody and senseless war with
Iraq for eight years , which caused a loss to the economy of
$309 billion in the frst fve years alone. The highly destruc
tive war, which gutted the economies of both countries , was
run and sponsored at both ends by the masters of geopolitics
based in London and Washington.
Afer Khomeini' s death in 1 989, which weakened the
role of the hardliners in the goverment, Hashemi Rafsan
jani, known for his moderate views, was elected President .
By now the popUlation of the country was tired of the priva
tions of war and was reluctant to continue sacrifcing for the
"revolution. "
The new fve-year plan
Rafsanjani , in his attempt to reconstruct the economy,
which still had not recovered frm the ravages of the Islamic
Revolution and the devastation of the war with Iraq, an
nounced his frst fve-year economic development plan for
1 989-94. During this period Iran also announced its policy
of "economic reform" and "privatization. " But up to now,
the frst fve-year plan, which has loosened state control on
10 Economics
I
the economy, has failed miser.bly to reduce the countr' s
reliance on oi l revenue and ha$ not done much t o promote
industrial exports .
In its recently announced new fve-year plan, Teheran
has decided to press ahead with is free-market reforms which
aim to give the private sector aibigger role. Leaders in Iran
are failing to take notice of the estruction of the economies
of the easter European countri4s and the virtual social anar
chy which persists in those countries , as a result of their futile
attempts to remedy their econjmic ills by embracing the
wester-prescribed free-market reforms . The new plan,
which covers 1 994-99, containsihuge cuts in the civil service
and calls for reduction of subsies .
Under this plan, banks will be allowed to decide on loan
requests from the private or publ ic sector solely on technical
grounds , ending the existing poltcy of discrimination in favor
of state enterprises; the civil rvice will be reduced; the
goverment will continue sellinindustries ; fuel , electricity,
and water prices will rise gradpally; and subsidies will be
reduced.

The Supreme Council of Eonomy, which is the author

of the new fve-year plan, has alo decided that in the second
plan the goverment would met its general budget by tax
revenue and spend the oil revenqe on infrastructural projects .
This would mean that the goverQment will have to raise taxes
drastically in order to achieve !this goal , since oil expors
provide more than 66% of govqrment revenue while taxes
account for only 23%.
Also, in its efforts to imitae the farce better known as
the "Chinese economic miracl, " Iran recently announced
the opening of a second free trad zone in the easter province
of Kerman. Iran' s other free tr.de zone is on the Island of
Qeshm, located a few miles ofhore from Bandar Abbas .
I
Population control measures
Bowing to interational presure or perhaps moving to
ward the "China model , " the Jranian Parliament (Majlis)
recently passed an outrageous piece of legislation granting
special goverment benefts onlto the frst three children of
a family. The bill asks Iranian upiversities to include "popu
lation control and family plan

ing" in their curricula, and

encourages jouralists , flmmakrs , and artists to "tackle the
issue" in their work. Although ais not known yet when the
bill will take effect , it nonethelss stands in clear violation
of Islamic teachings and is unpreedented in all of the Middle
East countries. Iran, which has out three times the territor
of Germany, has a population of only 57 million people.
The Islamic Republic, whicl is targeted for depopulation
and destruction by the Anglo-Jmericans and their partners
in crime among the French and German goverments , seems
to have its priorities mixed u

. Given the overwhelming

efforts by the West to isolate Iral, the Islamic regime should
keep in mind that there is nothiqg "Islamic" about austerity,
forced birth control , or the explQitation of slave labor.

Venezuelan industrialist
wants fous on production
Jorge Redmond, prsident of Corpoindustia,
the Venezuelan assoiation of large manufac
turers, called for focusing the credit system to
favor industry and production, in statements in
Caracas in late May. He called for "rformu
lating the fnancial system, since now the
banks absorb the deposits of the pUblic, and
don' t lend them out, because of high interest
rates. "
Redmond said that, "in fact, many banks
have ceased being fnancial intermediaries,
which has created distorion in the market, and
therefor I think the banks must rgain their

The economy needs two things, he said,
"confdence and industry. Through the appli

German minister tells
Africa: no Marshall Plan
Concluding a four-day tour of West Afican
countries on May 22, German Foreign Minis
ter Klaus Kinkel said in Abidjan, Ivory Coast
that he saw "no chance for any such thing as a
Marshall Plan for Africa . . . because all in
dustrialized nations that would have to suppr
it, are faced with enough prblems of their
own. "
Kinel recommended that rather than
counting on help fom outside, the Africans
should develop on the basis of their own pten
tials . (Kinkel did not suggest that these nations
should break rlations with the Interational
Monetar Fund, but that would b their only
chance to mobilize their own resources . )
The Organization of African Unity (OAU)
has just reprted in this context that Afican

states that have so far felt complled to main
tain themselves in good standing with the IMF,
have been brought into a dependency on for
eign aid that covers 50% and more of thei re
spctive national state budgets. This situation
is a form of neo-colonialism, the reprt
waed.

Union asks givebacks
to keep Northwest afoat
In a grim reminder of what happns to trade
union bargaining in a depression, the Intera
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters has asked the
9,0 fight attendants it represents among
Northwest Airline' s 45; 0employees to ac
cept $90 million in pay and vacation cuts over
the next three years as par of an attempt to keep
the company afoat. Ballots on approving the
agreement, negotiated by the mT and the air
line' s largest union, the Interational Assoia
tion of Machinists, were mailed out on May
27. All six of the airline' s unions must ratif
the deal for it to take efect.
Northwest Airlines has laid off over 3 ,0
workers and lost $9 billion during the last three
years. In retur for the union concessions, the
company would give them ownership of 30%
of the company and repay the lost wages in
stok at the end of 10 years-ifiC s still around.
Currency Trading
London bankers fear
revolt over speculation
"Forign exchange managers ought to b
basting of success" of multibillion-dollar
profts from curncy tading oprations "all
over London. But they are not. One rason is
that the bans are all to awar of the contempt
the public has for what are deemed to be the
profts of spculation. The danger is that the
central banks might haess the angr public
mood to try and regulate the market," the May
26 London Financial Times repored.
Corspndent James Blitz, in a survey of
foreign exchange, repats the Bank of England
fnding of last year, that 10 banks in the City of
London a;ounted for 43% of the $30 billion
dily forign exchange turover in Britain.
That mean$ that 10 London banks account for
18% ofthe$880 billion daily curncy tading
in the entir world.

Japan to resume
yen loas to Iran
Japan is to Jsume yen loans of up to 38. 6 bil
lion yen ($360 million) to I, the frst such
loans since 1976, a Forign Ministr ofcial
said on Ma,29. The untied loans will car
an interest tate of 3% a year over a 25-yea
rpayment prio, with a grace priod of seven
years. Thefnds ar to b used to build a hydr
electric power station on the Karn River in
souther Iran.
In 199j Iran reversed a plicy of not br
rwing abrpd and began to seek foreign loans.
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
That year Teheran fonally asked Tokyo for
billions of dollas in low-interst loans to build
a dam.
Japan' s decision to rsume lending comes
amid rprs that the Clinton administration is
demading that major trading paners with
Iran impse a crdit and expr boycott t pr
vent it fm "bcoming a substantial threat to
Wester intersts, " the May 27 Washington
Postrpored. According to administration of
fcials, the top priorties a efors t convince
China and Russia to cancel deals t pvide
Iran with weapns and nuclea ractors , and to
prsuade Japan, Genany, and Britain t cut
of loans.
This campaign could also b aimed at
weakening the Genan and Japanese econo
mies, espcially Genany, which is Iran ' s big
gest wester t paer. This plan is sug
gested by te Austalian Zionist Marin
Indyck, the senior dirctor for Middle East pl
icy for the National Security Council . Ac
cording to Indyck, if the United States fails in
its efors to moif "Iranian bhavior, " fve
yeas fm now "Iran will b much more capa
ble of psing a r tat to Israel and to west
er interests in the Middle East. " Indyck
fought for Israel in 1 973.
Trade
Russia, Uraine hurt by
colapse of maket
A main cause for the fast economic disintega
tion of Russia and Ukraine is the "collapse of
tditional tade relations" and the "complete
lack of new economic stuctures, " a reprt by
te Vienna-based Institute for Interational
Compaative Economic Studies (I,
which compas both foner Soviet rpublics ,
has concluded.
While Gross National Puct in 1 992
droppd by 1 9% in Russia and 15% in
Ukraine, investments in bth counties de
clined by mor than 40%. Russian infation ran
at 1 ,30- 1 , 70% or 15% of GNP, compared
with 1 ,60-2,0% or 40% of GNP in
Ukaine.
The key confict d btween the states
is the energy supply. This year, Russia will
produce less than 350 million tons of fel (393
million tons in 1 992), and exprs in the foner
EIR June l l , l 993
Soviet republics will fall fom 75 million tons
to less than 6 million tons . Since Russia ur
gently needs hard curency, supplies outside
the rble wne will b accounted in world mar
ket prices .
According to the w reprt, Ukraine
will have to spnd more than $10 billion for
Russian oil and natural gas . The main confict
of interest btween the two countries however
derives fom the fact that their bilateral trade
volume shrank to 50% of the 1989 level. Suc
cessfl economic rfons in Russia and
Ukraine depnd on stable political conditions ,
the reprt concludes, and therfor the eco
nomic crisis in both counties will be fher
aggravated in 1994.

in the microgravity of space. This emerging
technology of high-brilliance X-rays , access to
expriments on the Space Shuttle, and "novel
crystallization approaches, " will be made
available to the researchers at American Bio
Technologies . The company is the major
world supplier of rcombinant HIV proteins
and will prvide the NASA rsearchers with
such samples, and rlated rtroviruses, for
space exprimentation.
D. Daniel Carter, chief of the Biophysics
Branch of Marshall 's Space Science Laborato
r, explained: "We will use our unique capa
bilities to grow crystals of the proteins and then
use our analytical and computer-based techno
logies to attempt to detenine the accurate
three-dimensional stucturs of the biological
molecules . Our group previously detenined
the frst structur of a human antibdy which

Asassinationotcin
sendsab|oodyesse

by Carlos Mendez
Archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas
Ocampo was assassinated on May 24 in front of the Guadala
jara interational airport, under circumstances that indicate
that the murder was deliberate. However, the offcial story
released by Mexican Attorey General Jorge Carpizo is that
Cardinal Posadas was killed by drug traffckers who confused
him with a rival drug lord, because the cleric was travelling
in a car supposedly similar to that of the targeted traffcker.
Mexico' s bishops have described the offcial story as "ab
surd" and "infantile, " with several of them charging that
Cardinal Posadas was indeed the intended victim.
The Attorey General ' s denial that the assassination was
premeditated is intended to obviate the need for a full-scale
investigation by the goverment into who the actual intellec
tual authors of the attack are.
In a statement issued May 26, the Ibero-American Solidar
ity Movement (MSIA) demanded: " 1 ) that the crime be inves
tigated as a premeditated assassination; and 2) that said inves
tigation and punishment of those guilty be carried out with
the utmost speed, because any coverup of the authors of the
murder and their motives could unleash a cataclysm of un
known dimensions which nobody wants . . . . . We call atten
tion to the fact that this crime takes place in the midst of an
assault by the Masonry against the Catholic Church . . . .
"It is already proven that the Masonry is one of the leading
instruments of the superpowers , of the Interational Mone
tary Fund [IMF] , and of the malthusian cabal , to impose
genocidal policies on the debtor countries , policies which
have been systematically denounced by the Vatican and by
Mexico' s bishops . "
It should be noted that Cardinal Posadas himself had
played a prominent role in these denunciations . On April 2 1 ,
he had criticized the free-market economic policies of the
Carlos Salinas de Gortari goverment , and insisted that the
28 Interational
;
1 994 presidential elections shou serve "as an appropriate
occasion for changing" them. Carfinal Posadas also charged
that goverments have presentepopulation growth "as a
mythical threat , to legalize and stify birth control. . . . "
He also wared that the Masonry1 s activities could lead to a
reopening of old wounds in Mexio (see Documentation) .
I n the May 31 issue of the nespaper El Sol de M hico,
columnist Jose Cabrera Parra oted that the murder of
Cardinal Posadas "occurred on tae frst anniversary of the
establishment of diplomatic relat,ons between the Mexican
goverment and the Vatican . . . . `'
On May 25 , the Guadalaj ara aily Siglo 21 published a
note saying that "violent death is rot the accustomed fate of
bishops . Until yesterday, only o*e has suffered this fate in
Mexico, Jose Soledad Torres Cataieda, who was the frst
bishop of Ciudad Obreg6n [Sonota] : He was murdered on a
highway in 1 967 . 'A group of Msons ' is mentioned as the
possible authors of the assassinatin. " That reference is never
clarifed in the article.
I
But never has a cardinal beekilled before in Mexico,
not even during the darkest peri04 of religious warfare in the
1 920s , the so-called Cristero Ww, when Masonry launched
a violent , all-out attack on the Ca:holic Church.
i
A strategic assassination
There are much broader stratgic implications to the Po
sadas assassination, which go bond Mexico. It is in this
broader context that the cardinal s murder is usefully com
pared to the 1 989 assassination f Alfred Herhausen, the
chairman of Germany' s infuen:ial Deutsche Bank: Both
murders were intended to delive a bloody message to all
who oppose the Versailles Syste, neo-liberal free-market
economics , and the so-called ne world order.

Herrhausen was murdereg bct cause he wanted to see a

What is certainly the case is that no one in Mexico be
lieves the goverment ' s multiple cover stories: frst, that the
cardinal was caught in a cross-fre, despite the fact that the
coroner confrmed that he had been shot by 14 bullets at
point-blank range, and second, that he was mistaken for a
drug trafcker, even though numerous eyewitnesses con
frmed that his cardinal ' s garb was apparent and unmis
takeable to all . Even more suspicious is the fact that an Aero
mexico fight was delayed on the runway for a full 20 minutes
to allow more than a dozen of the hitmen to board it and make
their getaway!
It is very clear that nothing less than an immediate and
serious investigation of the cardinal ' s murder will satisfy a
Mexican population horrifed both by the bloody deed and
by the Salinas goverment ' s handling of it.
LUCDHCDldlIUD
Cardinal spoke out for
economic, social justice
Archbishop of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Cardinal Juan Jesus
Posadas Ocampo, barely a month before his assassination
on May 24, had harshly denounced the neo-liberal economic
policies imposed by the government ofPresident Carlos Sali
nas de Gortari, noting that the 1 994 presidential election is
"an appropriate occasionfor changing" them. The cardinal
also attacked the myth that population growth is the cause of
povert, and warned about the danger that the Masonr' s
activities could reopen old wounds in Mexico' s histor. What
follows are excerpts from some ofhis most recent statements,
as reported by the Mexican press.
La lorad, April 22, 1 993: "The presidential elections
of 1 994 will be ' an appropriate occcasion for changing' the
neo-liberal policies , whose version of solidarity has been
practiced as alms , welcome to some who are marginalized,
but insufcient in a process which impoverishes the majority
and increases the wealth of the few, according to Cardinal
Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo, the vice president of the Mexi
can Conference of Bishops (CEM) . Posadas Ocampo led the
homily which inaugurated the conference series ' Demo
graphic Issues in Latin America, ' sponsored by the Latin
American Alliance for the Family, the [Mexican] National
Pro-Life Committee, the Pontifcal Council for the Family
and the CEM' s Bishops ' Commission for the Family . . . .
" ' Liberalism and neo-liberalism are forms of trying to
solve the crisis; but if greater poverty is produced to remedy
these crises and the enrichment of others , the few, grows ,
then the church has to condemn that ideology, ' said Posadas .
30 Interational
. . . Posadas Ocampo asser that the goverments have
presented demography ' as a mythical threat , to legalize and
justify birh control . . . . '
"The vice president of the CEM stated that with regad
to family planning, as in economic policy, ' one must have
the courage, the audacity, td leave a course if it does not
'
produce the welfare of society. ' And he added that l 994 ' is
an appropriate occasion for clanging' it. "
Unomasuno, April 24, l

3. "The Masonry i n the coun

try has every right to create a new political pay, but before
that it has to demonstrate wht its goals ae, because if they
intend to keep attacking the Catholic Church then we rn the
risk of reopening old wounds, " the vice president of the
Mexican Conference of Bi shdps, Juan Jesus Posadas Ocam
po, wared . . . .
"In an interview, Cardinal Posadas Ocampo commented
that if the Masons seek the common good of Mexicans , then
the Catholic Church would te in a position to collaborate
with them in the defense of rights , but if that is not the case,
then they would be out of ordm. . . . He admitted that, if one
analyzes the principles and ttraditional philosophy of the
Masons , it is clear that they danot act in our favor; nonethe
less , we believe that this is npt the moment for ideological
confrontations , because tolernce, pluralism, and freedom
are a step towards trth. "
La lorad, April 20, l 993. "Mexico has already
reached intolerable levels of lextreme povery, and it fnds
itself sunk in a grave crisis of ocial inequality, according to
the president of the Conferenqe of Mexican Bishops, Adolfo
Suarez Rivera. ' Many people n our country believe that two
Mexicos are being built: an immense one, which is hungry
and backward; and another Oe, which is small , rich, mo
em, and interational . And iI a country so divided, where a
small part grows richer every day and a great majorty grows
daily poorer, we will not be atle to build the great nation that
all Mexicans desire. '
"In his inaugural speech tOithe 54th Assembly of Mexican
Bishops , which was read by I . . . Cadinal of Guadalajaa
Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo ,Suarez Rivera waed that if
the market and the consumefi of the Norh Amercan Free
Trade Agreement ae not adequately dealt with, Mexico will
have to pay a high social cosv . . .
"And he added: ' The neoliberal policies which prevail
today in the region furher deepen the negative consequences
of these mechanisms. By indscriminately deregulating the
market , thereby eliminating imporant chunks of labor legis
lation and by fring workers , he gaps in society have been
deepened. '
"As an example, ' it sufces to point to the reappeaance
of cholera, which in the fnal .nalysis is due to the strctural
adjustments prescribed by th Interational Monetay Fund
and the World Bank. This fact dramatically symbolizes the
growing pauperization and eqnomic marginalization of all
Latin America. ' "

Bombing in Florence: a terorist
I
attack a
g
ainst te Renaissance
by Claudio Celani
The bomb that exploded on May 26 in Florence, killing 5
persons and wounding 30, was ordered by forces that under
stand very well the signifcance of cultural warfare. It de
stroyed part of the Ufzi Palace, one of the greatest art muse
ums in the world. The l O-kilogram car bomb missed, by
only a few meters, the gallery containing the most precious
works of the Italian Renaissance. Had these not been housed
in a room without windows , thereby damping the shock
wave, these priceless treasures would have been lost to
mankind.
The Accademia Georgofla, the oldest European agricul
tural academy ( 1 753) , was completely destroyed. The shock
wave transformed glass and stones into projectiles that devas
tated the rooms in the Ufzi containing Roman statues and
post-Renaissance paintings . A Trittico by Van Honthorst
( 1 61 7) was totally destroyed, as well as two works by Barto
lomeo Manfredi . A work by Sebastiano del Piombo ( 1 5 1 1 )
was cut in two. Two hundred meters away, the church of
Santo Stefano al Ponte suffered severe damage, and a Giotto
painting inside was damaged, although not irreparably. The
shock wave front covered the street fom the Ufzi to the
municipal square, striking the Palazzo della Signoria and
shattering all its windows .
The Florence bombing goes beyond what Italy has pre
viously seen in terms of terrorism in its postwar history
which is already far beyond what most other advanced sector
countries have suffered. But this time it is not only the slaugh
ter of innocent people, or the danger to democracy which is
embodied in this gravest challenge to the state, as it was when
the Red Brigades kidnapped and killed Christian Democratic
leader Aldo Moro. This time, what has been hit is what is
most precious to the nation, above any conceivable idea of
political faction: the artistic patrimony of the Renaissance,
of which Florence is indisputably the capital . One high-level
Venetian politician was quoted in the daily Corriere della
Stampa on May 28: "First they destroyed politics , then the
institutions , and now they a fnishing off the country. "
A backlash?
It is clear that the "strategy of tension" is supposed to
force certain decisions, either at the goverment level or in
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
popular opinion. But the viciousqss of the attack may be
causing an unexpected backlash. IAlready several political
forces have started a public debat in the press and in the
Parliament on the idea that there i$ an Anglo-Amercan plot
behind the destabilization of Italy, quoting from EIR and
other publications of Lyndon laRouche' s interational
movement . .
LaRouche pointed out in his weekly radio broadcast,
"EIR Talks with Lyndon LaRoucle, " on June 2, that some
sources in Italy have attributed the destabilization to the Fre
masons . Referring to a secret meet
f
g that took place on June
2, 1 992 on the British royal yacht
B
ritannia, LaRouche said,
"It is understood throughout Italy that the country is facing
destruction steered by those force* which were reprsented
on that Britannia yacht meeting. 'j The Britannia meeting,
which was attended by top Italian fnancial operatives and
others , launched a strategy of privatizing Italy' s state-run
industries .
A refection of such an undertanding could be seen in
the May 30 editorial of the newspper L' Unita, organ of the
Democratic Party of the Left (PIS) , the main oppsition
party. Entitled "Berlin-Rome, the! Bomb Axis , " the aicle
traced a connection between the cent terrorist destabiliza
tions of Italy and Germany (with reference to the arson attack
in Solingen, Germany on May 2?) . Wrote author Angelo
Bolaf, "It is as if in Italy and Getany a desperate attempt
is under way to prevent those two countries from fnally
achieving a normalit of their OWn, to maintain them, in
stead, in the precarious condition of border provinces , unsta
ble and potentially unaccountable. l '
Investigative hypotheses
Nobody believes anymore tha it is "just the Mafa" that
is behind the bombings . After ani eight-hour meeting with
prosecutors from Florence, Rom, and Palermo, Interior
Minister Nicola Mancino declared: I "I do not exclude connec
tions to occult structures . I am thiking about undergrund
powers like the P-2 [the outlawed opaganda-2 freemasonic
lodge] , which has deep roots in Tu$cany. " Florence prosecu
tor Vigna and others made a compaison with the train bomb
ing that killed 1 5 persons and wounded 267 on the Milan-
Interational 3 1
Naples route in 1 984. The main fugitive from that case is
Friedrich Schaudinn, a German-Serbian weapons dealer who
is now hiding out in former Yugoslavia. According to jour
nalist Gianni Cipriani, one of Ital y' s most experienced re
searchers into terrorism, Schaudinn is being protected by
networks controlled by members of the P-2 lodge.
The P-2 connection does not exclude the Anglo-Ameri
can angle; indeed, it amounts to the same thing. The P-2 was
a secret lodge controlling, at one point , all of Italy' s secret
services and military leadership, on behalf of American free
masonic networks represented by persons like Henry Kis
singer and Michael Ledeen. The P-2 has been dismantled,
but many Italian leaders believe that the American control
over the Italian secret services , especially the military
SISMI , still exists . It was no coincidence that afer the Flore
nce bombing, somebody decided to make public a classifed
speech given by former President Francesco Cossiga three
months ago before a parliamentary committee, in which Cos
siga revealed that the SISMI has always acted on American
orders and gave orders to the Italian goverment , rather than
doing its bidding.
Three hypotheses are ofcially being put forward as to
who is responsible for the Florence bombing, and what their
motivations might be: 1 ) the Mafa and the P-2, reacting to
recent successful anti-Mafa operations; 2) the Serbians , who
want to prevent a NATO or American military intervention
from Italian bases; 3) fnancial circles interested in collapsing
the Italian economy.
The last hypothesis , which might seem the most far
fetched, is not really so. Certainly the terrorism works , at
one level, as an economic attack, scaring tourists away at the
opening of the summer season. This affects one of Italy' s
most imporant sources of revenue, aggravating the crisis
surrounding the public defcit, which has already led to the
collapse of the lira and to a loss of Italy' s credibility in the
fnancial markets . Supporing this thesis is Massimo Pini ,
adviser to former Prime Minister Bettino Craxi . In an inter
view in the daily La Stampa, he said on May 29: "I received
a phone call from Americans who told me: Now you cannot
sell your companies at the same price as yesterday, otherwise
we will go to France, where it is safer, to buy. "
But the attack against Italy operates at several levels , and
it certainly includes Italy' s role in the Balkans . Many have
pointed to the fact that Serbian offcials have repeatedly
threatened Italy with terrorism, should Italy decide to supply
bases for a military intervention against the Belgrade regime.
Two days after the Florence bombing, it was made known
that a commando squad of mercenaries had stopped an Italian
aid convoy in Bosnia and brutally executed three members
of the expedition. Then, on June 2, a gunboat of the Serbian
Montenegrin Navy shot , without waring, at an Italian fsh
ing boat inside Italian territorial waters , killing a fsherman.
The Italian goverment reacted by putting the Navy on alert,
and is preparing to strengthen air defenses by leasing Ameri
can F- 1 5s or F- 1 6s .
32 Interational
Commcnta
The global adversar
Lyndon LaRouche made these remarks MMay 31 :
i
What is being said in some of tItalian press in exposing
matters which should have been exposed 15 years ago or
earlier, is very useful and ver helpful in mobilizing at least
part of the shocked Italian populaion to ralize that it is fve
minutes or one minute before midnight for the very existence
of the Italian nation.
Although we must concentrat on the Italian situation as
such, we must look at Italy as bing a victim of a proess
which is much broader. We must go back into the 19 centu
ry, we must understand that the fones directed by Lord Palm
erston through such Palmerston ssets as Giusepp Mazzini
tried also, in a sense, to destroy |taly; and if they could not
destroy it, to control as much as possible the foration of a
united Italy under the House of Saoy. We remember the end
of the war, when the Americans in the OSS and others, in
the name of opposing the retur of the House of Savoy, were
duped into a policy associated with a friend of a fellow whom
I used to call "Dopio" Croce or I'Maladepto Dopio" Croce
because of his Hegelian and similar kinds of histor.
Palmerston and the Freemasons
What we are dealing with is that is known genercally
as the Versailles System and its Ylta and New Yalta succes
sors . Now these were actually designed on behalf of a faction
in Britain which is known historially as the Venetian pay,
that i s, of the heirs of Paolo Sai ' s faction, which is the
British imperial faction against which the American Revolu
tion was fought, for example. This Venetian faction is other
wise known as the British imperial faction of which Lord
Palmerston, during the middle < the 1 9th centur, was a
leading representative. If one tracs the development of free
masonic organizations in the Uited States, in France, in
Ital y, and so forh during the perod of Palmerston, one has
a ver good handle on what the ptoblem is today.
One should also lok at te pienomenon in Frace cale
the Entente Cordiale, whose rots He in such loations as Lr
Palmerston' s entoning te man who bcae Napleon il in
te prsidency of Frce. Actal y, te Frnch govent
under Napleon il, Napleon le l Petit, was the ft Entnte
Cordiale. A Entent Cordiae, ptit me to say so, is a Frnch
catmit submiting to a British inria soomt.
The progeny of this miscegention of the British Scottish
Rite with the French catamites is! called Grand Orient and it
is known by the same nme in ltaly. This is ver close to
another branch of British intelligence, the freemasonic orga
nization of so-called Jewish designation-but it is not Jew-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
ish, it is a heathen or paganist free masonic rite, a cult
called B ' nai B' rith.
Look at the role of Volpi de Misurata, then called Volpi ,
and of Volpi ' s friend Parvus , otherwise known as Alexander
Helphand, in the period of the B' nai B' rith coup called the
Young Turk rebellion in Turkey-i . e. , the goverment
which used the Kurds to slaughter the Armenians beginning
in 1 908 . And look at the relationship of this branch of B ' nai
B' rith called the Young Turk goverment, whose publicist
was Vladimir Jabotinsky, the friend of Mussolini , earlier the
editor of Young Turk magazine, and Volpi ' s role in putting
Mussolini into power, with Volpi de Misurata as fnance
minister of Italy, the actual builder of Italian Fascism. If one
looks at this , and at the freemasonic connections , and is not
blinded by what Mussolini did to certain freemasonic leaders
in Sicily and so forth, then one has a comprehension of the
kind of processes with which we are dealing.
The essence of the matter is that the Venetian party fac
tion, or the imperial faction of Britain, as exemplifed by
Lord Palmerston and the rule of the British Grand Lodge over
such European lodges as Grand Orient and B ' nai B' rith-this
faction is determined to prevent, at any cost, the unifcation of
the sovereign nation states and sovereign national political
economies of Europe and Asia in a Eurasian bloc of economic
development cooperation. To the purpose of preventing such
a development, as proposed by Russia' s Count Sergei Witte
at the tum of the century, the British, with the aid of their
Grand Orient and B' nai B' rith allies, used the Young Turk
operation to unleash the Balkan Wars preceding World War
I. The Balkan Wars had the purpose of destabilizing all Eu
rope and unleashing what became World War I .
Beginning i n 1 989, the British and British agents in the
United States , including friends of Henry Kissinger such as
British agent Lawrence Eagleburger and Brent Scowcrof
inside the Bush administration, together with Gorbachov in
Russia, unleashed the Serbian fascists who were British
agents , primarily around Slobodan Milosevic, to slaughter
their neighbors for the purpose of destabilizing the underbelly
of central Europe, in a campaign which from 1 989 onward
was openly advertised as a campaign against the danger that
Germany united might become an economic power "Fourth
Reich, " in the words of Mrs . Thatcher' s cronies.
That is the context i n which certain Anglo-American
forces and their B ' nai B' rith allies, through freemasonic
channels, are working to destroy Italy today. If one under
stands the global context for these local events within Italy,
and notes the similar phenomena which are erupting in east
er Europe, where production is down to 30%, approximate
ly, of 1 989 levels, as a result of these same plots-the desta
bilization of Germany, the coming destabilization of France,
the destabilization of Spain, and so forth-ne sees what
these forces are doing to all civilization. It is time to awaken.
It is time to defend Italy, of course; but , we cannot defend
Italy efectively unless we understand the global adversary
against whom we are fghting.

Uraine is becoming
a rudderless nation
by Konstantin George
A series of decisions taken on May 20 by the Ukrainian
Parliament , which is dominated by old communists , strip
ping the executive of real power, tas put Ukraine on a path
leading to further economic colllpse and social upheaval .
The crisis in Ukraine, occurring simultaneously with the col
lapse of the Polish goverment f Prime Minister Hanna
Suchocka, which fell on May 28, and a communist-engi
neered political crisis in Belarus, has created a matrix of
crises threatening the stability o the three largest easter
European countries lying between Germany and Russia. The
destabilization of Ukraine was ipmediately exploited by
Moscow when, on May 24, it re-launched the dispute with
Ukraine over control of the Black Sea Fleet .
Control of the Black Sea Flee, however, is not the most
serious confict concering militC matters between Russia
and Ukraine. The fundamental q*estion, and this threatens
to take some very ugly turs , is dYer the 1 76 former Soviet
ICBMs based on the territory of Ukraine, which under Start
I had been slated for dismantling. i
The issue of the ICBMs , whati is referred to as Ukraine' s
"nuclear arsenal , " is a trap which has been set for the young
republic which is being exploited y Moscow-with wester
assistance-which is bent on a reconquest of Ukraine in
stages. To date, Ukraine has agreed in principle to destroy
these missiles; however, being blnkrupt, it has insisted that
the cost of their destruction be bre by the United States
and Russia, as the successor state to the U. S. S. R. Pending
that, Ukraine has stalled on ratifyig the Start I treaty and the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; The same old communist
dominated Parliament which has Jlunged Ukraine into insta
bility is playing into Moscow' s tands , and has indefnitely
postponed debate on ratifcation of Start I .
Russia has repeatedly charge4, though i t has never sup
plied any evidence, that the Ulainian stall on ratifcation
conceals a project to place these missiles under Ukrainian
control , and that Ukraine is coverly working on re-targeting
these missiles against Russia. Dring May, articles in the
Russian military press began to moat the idea of a potential
need to "preempt" a Ukrainian nlear capability. Such talk,
coupled with the re-Iaunching ofi the Bl ack Sea Fleet issue,
has prompted Ukraine into feariIla potential Russian inva
sion some time in this decade.
The Russian posture has caused a policy re-thinking in
Interational 33
Ukraine, where one can frequently read citations of Ukra in i
an offcers in the nation' s press , discussing the need for
Ukraine to hold onto these nuclear weapons as the only possi
ble "deterrent" against future Russian aggression. A very
dangerous dynamic has thus been set into motion.
Executive stri
pp
ed of
p
ower
On May 20, the special powers held by Prime Minister
Leonid Kuchma since last autumn to rule by decree in dealing
with the ever deepening economic crisis , expired. Kuchma
asked Parliament to extend his special powers for another six
months . Then the roof fell in.
The Parliament frst voted to deny Kuchma an extension
of the power to rule by decree on economic matters , to which
he responded by resigning. The Parliament then rejected his
resignation, thus keeping the Kuchma cabinet in as a lame
duck goverment, powerless to deal with the crisis . The
Parliament also rejected a bid by Ukrainian President Leonid
Kravchuk to take over the cabinet and rule by decree. The
bid by Kravchuk, however, who works closely with the com
munist majority in the Parliament, was pro forma, as he knew
in advance it would be opposed. Kravchuk supported the
Parliament' s action stripping Kuchma of his powers , and
calmly accepted the crippling of the executive.
The disaster Ukraine faces was concisely put in state
ments on May 2 1 by Vyacheslav Chorovil , a Ukrainian
patriot and leader of the Rukh anti-communist opposition,
and by Ivan Zayats , head of the opposition democratic group
in parliament . Chorovil said of the Parliament decisions:
"That means . . . there will be no executive mechanism to
implement reforms , there will be no reforms whatsoever and
the economic collapse is inevitable. " Zayats predicted that
"economic collapse accompanied by social unrest is likely to
come about by autumn. "
Russia reo

ens feet dis

ute
Russia re-opened its fght with Ukraine for control of the
Black Sea Fleet on May Z4in the immediate afermath of the
Kiev Parliament debacle. The feet confict had apparently
been settled under a Russian-Ukrainian agreement-called,
ominously, the Yalta Agreement, because it was signed in
that same Crimean town where the l v4"Big Three" agree
ments dividing up postwar Europe were signed by Roosevelt ,
Churchil l , and Stalin-signed by Russian President Boris
Yeltsin and Kravchuk, keeping the feet under joint control
pending a fnal decision on apportioning its ships , equipment ,
and facilities in l vv .
The confict resumed when, under orders from the Rus
sian Naval Command in Moscow, the Russian fag was hoist
ed on 30 supply and support ships of the feet at its main base
and headquarters at Sevastopol in the Crimea. The action
spread geographically when, on May 25 , some l4 support
ships based at Kerch, at the tip of the Crimean Peninsula
separated from Russia by a narrow strait, joined the "revolt . "
J4 Interational
No warships were involved but, by June l , a total of Z0Z
ships had hoisted the Russian fg.
Moscow i s confdent that Ukraine, with its near-total
energy dependence on Russia, ill be forced to accept the
Russian formula for dividing ap the feet , and accede to
Russia' s demand that it retain fontrol over the Sevastopol
base and other key military facilhies in the Crimea. The frst
signs already exist that the Rusian calculations are well
based. As protested by Rukh eader Chorovil , President
Kravchuk has been notably acqiescent toward the Russian
moves. His "softness" was gien an initial reward, so to
speak, when in the midst of the lack Sea Fleet brawl , Russia
agreed on a price for its natual gas exports to Ukraine,
denominated in rubles .
While the revolt in the Blck Sea Fleet was ordered
from Moscow, the basis for it success is the devastating
economic crisis in Ukraine. Th Russian newspaper Izves
tia on June l , being but one o about Z0 recent examples ,
has been crowing over the fat that `0% of the sailors
who have opted for joining the Russian Navy are Ukraini
an. Why? Under the "joint cntrol" agreement, Russian
sailors are paid by Moscow in rbles , and Ukrainian
sailors are paid by Kiev in the Ukrainian ersatz curency,
the karbovanets . This worked ne last autumn, when the
karbovanets was introduced an set at a rate of l . l to the
ruble. By February, however, t was at J. l , and by May,
at . l . Despite compensatory mves by Kiev that increased
the wages in karbovanets , by May the real wage of the
Ukrainian sailor was only half at of his Russian counter
part. One must remember tht Russian and Ukrainian
sailors both shop at the same bse commissary. Thus , out
of desperation, Ukrainian sailqrs have opted to join the
Russians, something unthinkae six months ago.
On the naval base question, the Russian position toward
Ukraine is identical to the one iti has taken toward the Baltic
Republic of Latvia. In both the altic Sea and the Black Sea,
Russia is not concered about maintaining ground forces
based outside of Russia, but is tnsisting upon its "right" to
keep at least one crucial naval base outside its territor in
both the Baltic and Black Seas a non-negotiable. In the case
of Latvia, the facility is the lar,naval base at Liepaj a, and
vis-a-vis Ukraine, Russia wants ithe key base at Sevastopol ,
at least .
Both in Ukraine and in the altic republics it is rightly
feared that these base demands are only the beginning of
broader Russian demands . Russis in no hurry to settle this
crisis with Ukraine. An appeal y Kravchuk on May J l for
an immediate summit with Yelsin on the Black Sea Fleet
question fell on deaf ears. Accoring to Interfax, which cited
"informed circles" in Moscow , Russian Foreign Minister
Andrei Kozyrev is to go to Kih on June ` to prepare a
summit . The earliest mooted dte is June l Z , though the
Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gaz

ta speculated on June l that

there would be no summit until Jme Z0.

enda in Colombia
by Javier Amario
Arturo Hein, coordinator in Colombia of the United Nations '
program of coca and poppy crop substitution, furiously at
tacked Colombi a' s police force on May 26 for having eradi
cated 75% of Colombia' s illegal poppy crops . In a seminar
jointly sponsored by the United Nations and the Colombian
Justice Mini stry held at Bogota' s National University, Hein
charged that those in charge of the crop eradication had not
considered "the social , economic, environmental , and health
trauma" caused by eradication, trauma which is "simultane
ously both the cause and the efect of the production and
consumption of drugs . "
The same line was offered by Giorgio Giacomelli , execu
tive director of the U. N. ' s interational narcotics control
agency. According to Giacomelli , nothing should be done
to t to substitute poppy, coca, or marij uana crops with
legitimate agricultural crops , because that "could further en
courage the illegal activity and thus lead to a superproduction
instead of cutback in such crops . " Giacomelli pointed out
the danger that farmers "might well compare the benefts of
obtaining illegal profts on the one hand, and the benefts of
alterative crops on the other. "
Although the U. N. offcials never said s o explicitly, they
all attempted in one form or another to emphasize the pre
sumed impossibility of defeating the drug trade and of replac
ing drug crops with ones useful to Colombia and to humanity.
According to U. N. consultant on narcotics Maria Constanza
Ramirez, drug crop eradication has only stimulated the drug
trade because "it has contributed to a rise in the price of
latex, " referring to the liquid extracted from the poppy fower
and which serves as the raw material for heroin. Ramirez
went even further, and openly defended drug production:
"The cultivation of poppy has generated income and in
creased the buying power of a sector of the peasantry and the
indigenous . "
In parallel to the United Nations' less-than-subtle efforts
to present drug legalization as the only "logical" answer to
the illegal narcotics trade, the Gaviria goverment in Colom
bia is doing its best to pave the way for precisely such a
"solution" to this country' s decade-long war with the drug
cartels . Not only has its embrace of the Interational Mone-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
tary Fund' s (IMF) open market, free trade dictates drven
Colombia' s legitimate agricultursector into bankptcy
and thus , increasingly, into drug, but it has also escalated
its negotiations with the country' murderous drg carels to
assure them impunity for their cries.
President Cesar Gaviria' s Ariculture Ministr, under
the control of Alfonso LOpez Capallero, the son of forer
Colombian President and carel ally Alfonso LOpez Mi
chelsen, has taken the lead in strijping the national faring
sector of any and all protection. ue has not only eliminated
tariff protection, but also low-inrest credit and price sup
ports . The result has been the b nkptcy of innumerable
growers under an avalanche , f impored agrcultural
products . i
To thi s, of course, can be add the sabotage committed
by the U. S. and British govemmnts in preventing the rees
tablishment of a coffee pact whih w(uld set a stable prce
for coffee, once Colombia' s leading export crop.
In other areas of legitimate griculture, a comparable
situation prevails . "The farmer in some areas have ex
changed their traditional crops fococa and poppy, in view
of the goverment' s refusal to prvide protection, " charged
German Orduz Peralta, directo of Santander province' s
Growers Society, i n a May 24 inttview t o the press i n which
he also documented the nea totadisappearance of Colom
bia' s once thriving cotton sector . .

Negotiating a ' narco-peac'
On May 6 of thi s year, ColPmbian Attorey General
Carlos Gustavo Arieta revealed that he, Prosecutor Gustavo
de Greiff, Defense Minister Rafel Pardo Rueda, Securty
Director Ferando Brito, the naional police director, and
other high-level goverment ofials met with representa
tives of the so-called Cali Cartel , t negotiate the "surender"
of the cartel ' s criminal leaders . 'he carel spokesmen were
explicit that what they wanted ws dismissal of charges for
most of their members; short , set (and presumably pain
less) trials for the rest; and the riht to retain all of their ill
gotten gains, in exchange for a pr<pmised dismantling of their
trafcking operations . A virtually dentical proposal was sub-

T L celebrate the Interational Year
of the Indigenous decreed by the Unit
ed Nations , the leaders of Brazil ' s in
digenous movement represented in
the non-govermental organizations
(NOOs) are in a mobilization to force
constitutional recognition of so-called
Indian lands , which are in fact nothing
more than enclaves within the national
territory.
Although they suffered a severe
blow in late May with the fring of
anthropologist Sidney Possuelo from
the presidency of the National Indian
Foundation, the shock troops of indi
genist causes have redoubled their ef
forts to preserve Possuelo' s deranged
ideas . Possuelo was placed at the head
of the foundation by former President
Ferando Collor de Mello, as a sym
bol of the NOOs ' supranational appa
ratus .
A radical defender of the Yano
mami reservation along the border
with Venezuela, Possuelo also
planned, before he was fred, to hand
over to the few thousand forest-dwell
ers more than 50% of the Amazon ter
ritory of Roraima state. That proposal
was shelved by the Itamar Franco gov
erment .
With Possuelo now out of the pic
ture, prominent members of the ecolo
gist movement such as Congressman
Fabio Feldman, who has always fa
vored the efforts of the interational
banks to impose a "debt-for-nature"
scheme on Brazil , have begun to re
group their forces . In a "Special Infor
mation Bulletin, " Feldman states that
"the indigenous Brazilian community
has good reason to be concered. The
goverment' s initiatives with regard
to demarcation of their lands , taxa-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
tion, and other measures, are slow or
clearly not taking effect at all . " Feld
man appealed to the NOOs to reacti
vate their campaign in favor of Bra
zil 's indigenous tribes .
National and interational efforts
by the ecologist-indigenist activists
are currently focused on pressuring
for the demarcation of some 5 1 0 pro
tected indigenous areas-a total of 89
million hectares of land! -by Oct. 5
ofthis year, as specifed by the Consti
tution.
In obedience to the neo-colonial
precepts of the "new world order, " the
Collor goverment had already de
limited the vast Yanomami reserve
along a strategically critical border
area. That action has been the target of
innumerable challenges by nationalist
forces , especially by the Brazilian
Armed Forces , for the purpose of
modifying that decree.
In response, numerous indigenous
leaders manipulated by the anthropol
ogists have begun to direct intera
tional pressure against the Franco
goverment . For example, represen
tatives of the Amazon indigenous
communities have submitted a peti
tion in Paris asking the European na
tions for help in winning "respect" for
their rights and that "the Brazilian
goverment [should] delimit the terri
tories . " Paris is a coordinating center
for indigenous causes , through the
sponsorship of First Lady Daniele
Mitterrand.
At the same time, Indian leader
Paiakan has again begun to draw at
tention in the English-language press ,
the result of a criminal case against
him, in which he is charged with rap
ing a non-Indian girl . The courts have
been unable to! impose the usual sen
tence for such a crime, because he has
been protected by a special indigenous
"statute. "
Among ouer planned actions a
a meeting of aAmazon Indian lead
ers in the Xingl Park in the frst week
of June. The site served as the stage
for a similar e
\
ent in 1 988, when Eu
ropean ecologits such as Anita Rod
dick, the British owner of a chain of
stores which slls products from the
Amazon, issue their war cry against
technological wogress , and especially
against the contrction of hydroelec
tric plants in th region, under the pre
text that they ate "harmful to the envi
ronment . "
The meeti
'
g i s being coordinated
by, among thers , the Intertribal
Committee, o e of the authors of the
"Karioca Declm ation" issued at last
year' s Eco-92 ummit . That declara
tion calls for lmiting national sover
eignty throughl the creation of indige
nous "enclave. "
Another meting, this one conti
nental , will be held in July in the city
of Bahia, spon&ored by a series of enti
ties represente by the "Continental
Indigenous , BI

ck and Popular Move

ment . " That umbrella organization is
responsible fOI having organized last
year' s "500 Yars of Indigenous Re
sistance" movement , which carried
out numerousl sabotage operations
against contintal effors to celebrate
the quincenteary of the discover
and evangeliztion of America, de
nouncing such
I
celebrations as merely
genocide agaiqst the Indians.
Disgracefu)l y, participating in all
these anti-soveeignty and anti-Chris
tian actions is nearly the entirety of
the Brazilian catholic Church and the
Indigenous issionary Council
(CIMI) , whicl have fallen into the
hands of the M,rxist Theology of Lib
eration crowd and have abandoned
their evangelizfng mission.

Prepa for the Tent-Ft Centur
by Paul Kennedy
Random House, New York, 1 993
428 pages, hardbound, $25
That Paul Kennedy' s Preparingfor the Twent-First Centur
has rapidly become the most talked-about book of this year,
moving close to the top of the bestseller list in Germany
within weeks of its translation from the English and promi
nently hyped in much of the British and American media,
tells more about the perverse state of mind and priorities
of the predominant factions within the transatlantic liberal
establishment which are promoting Kennedy' s theses , than it
is does about the merits of the book. Admittedly, the British
bor, Yale University historian has compiled an impressive
array of data and has taken up some provocative and challeng
ing themes . But, for the most part, his work is a mixture
of monumental incompetence combined with disinformation
and fraud. Rather than being the sober historical and social
analysis that one might expect from the much-touted histori
an and author, whose Rise and Fall of the Great Powers
produced considerable controversy after its publication in
1 987, Preparing for the Twent-First Centur is ideology
and special pleading under the cover of objective academic
research.
Kennedy is really pleading for a specifc agenda and cul
tural-historical paradigm, and this explains why the book has
42 Books
gotten so much attention in te liberal media and within
transatlantic policy institution like the infuential Davos,
Switzerland, World Economic
P
olicy forum, to which Ken
nedy was invited to speak earlir this year. He is arguing, in
the trendy vocabulary of the lasl decade' s globalist Zeitgeist,
for new geopolitical cult root primarily in demographics,
an updated version of the world view of Parson Thomas
Malthus . The driving force, an4 central threat , in Kennedy' s
world, as i n the late 1 8th-centuof Malthus , is demographic
growth. Rapid demographic grwth is a determining factor
in causing wars and political in,tability, with the added twist
today that it also damages the i 'global environment . " Com
batting the threat of "overpopdlation, " in Kennedy' s view,
justifes , or necessitates , an iperial world order ruled by
rentier-fnancier interests . Just s Britain came out on top of
the world of the 1 9th century, ! so today, a British-modeled
world order must prevail , he blieves.
The book is mainly desigaed to catalyze and shape a
policy debate within the tranatlantic elites, with various
malthusians speculating about Whether Kennedy has gone a
bit too far, or not far enough. the Feb. 1 4 New York Times
book review, for example, wcomed Kennedy as a latter
day Malthus , but complained (hat he lacked the "degree of
intellectual fearlessness equal t that which emboldened Mal
thus himself, a God-fearing clegyman, to argue against char
ity because it was a cause ofi population growth and thus
of human misery. " The Times i insisted that "more pointed"
questions must supplement Kennedy' s arguments, if a truly
draconian world order is to be mrmed that can enforce depop
ulation: "What form of politica leadership will sufce to halt
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
the juggerauts of demographic, economic and ecological
change? Can demographic explosions be halted without re
course to severe, even repressive population policies? . . .
Can an allocation of carbon emission rights be instituted or
enforced without military force?"
The book' s release coincides with an escalation of mal
thusian propaganda, as the date approaches for the United
Nations Third Interational Conference on Population in
Cairo in September 1 994, and as the abject refusal of the
West to stop genocide in former Yugoslavia accommodates
growing segments of the wester public to murder on a mass
scale. Kennedy is a spokesman for that transatlantic group
which has appeased the Serbs, and his facile characterization
of the Balkan war as a "civil war" is symptomatic of his
world view.
As we will show, the 2 1 st century that Kennedy projects ,
is one from which essential technological and scientifc
breakthroughs have been axiomatically excluded. It is not
that these processes have no future from a scientifc stand
point-quite the opposite-but rather that Kennedy and his
co-thinkers believe, with the arrogance of would-be gods of
Olympus, that they can deny the existence of whatever they
would prefer did not exist, and then prevent it from coming
into existence by their control over fnancial processes, the
media, scientifc institutions , and so on.
That apparent strength, however, is also their Achilles'
heel . The 2 1 st century of Paul Kennedy will never actually
transpire; if the axioms and postulates that Kennedy espouses
determine policy, the world will descend into a profound
breakdown crisis , and perhaps generalized world war, well
before we reach the year 2000. Wherever there exist human
beings desiring development and progress , in such locations
there will be points of resistance to Kennedy and his promot
ers , and it is out of that resistance that a counter-vision of the
future, one that can give hope to humanity, can be built .
'Winners and losers' in a malthusian world
Kennedy' s concept of history, and the vision of reality
that fows from it, i s, at best, a reductionist' s cultist quackery,
and at worst , a kind of science-fction fantasy projected into
the past , present , and future.
According to him, "we should see the demographic and
economic conditions of the late 1 8th century as a metaphor
for the challenges facing our present global society, two
centuries afer Malthus' s ponderings . " Then, France' s insta
bility and ensuing territorial expansionism under Napoleon
Bonaparte, were driven by the underlying problem of "over
population": "In France, popular discontents smashed an an
cien regime that was less well structured than Britain in agri
culture, industry, and commerce, and in its social framework
and attitudes , to sustain rapid demographic growth. By the
time the French Revolution' s early hopes had been destroyed
by terror, reaction, and then Bonapartism, an enormous num
ber of young, energetic, and frustrated Frenchmen were be-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
ing deployed in armies of occupatn outside France, where
many if not most of them died fromcombat or disease. Terri
torial conquest thus played its traitional role as a vent for
overpopUlation, social tensions, nd political frustrations"
(emphasis in original) .
'
What France supposedly was fQr that period, much of the
developing sector is for today. Pre!iewing the 21 st century,
Kennedy defnes the "important iplication of population
change upon interational security'as "the prospect of demo
graphically driven social unrest, plitical instability and re
gional wars . . . . " He writes: "Behind many well-known
historical upheavals-the outward! thrust of the Vikings, the
expansion of Elizabethan England, the French Revolution,
Wilhelmine Weltpolitik, the turbtlences that rack Central
America and the Middle East tod-the societies involved
were experiencing population explosions , and often having
difculty in absorbing increasing n\mbers of energetic young
men. "
!
In today' s world, as seen by Pa\l Kennedy and those who
think like him, the problem is vastlworsened by the alleged
"damage to the ecology" caused by growing populations de
vouring scarce resources, which hiS "greatly increased . . .
the speed of the human assault un nature. " Kennedy is a
fanatical promoter of the greenhoue effect, global warming,
and ozone hole hoaxes , to the extent that he not only never
bothers to present any proof for thse ostensible phenomena,
but also dismisses out of hand anything that challenges the
prevailing inquisitorial orthodoxy: "Given the nature of
American politics , it is difcult at present to imagine much
leadership in Washington on global-warming issues . Instead,
there is a tendency to point to the difering scientifc opinions
in this matter, to suggest that fears about the greenhouse
effect have been exaggerated, and to indicate that it would
be unwise to devote funds and alter Hfe-styles to meet circum
stances that might not actually oCur; and . . . those argu
ments are supported by skeptical sientists and economists. "
As if, somehow, i t i s a matter of venal opportunism that
leading scientists and economists don' t believe it is necessa
to "devote funds and alter life-styles" to accommodate ecolo
gists' fantasies !
Technology, such as it exists in Paul Kennedy' s future
universe, will predominantly help those who are at present
better of, primarily the Japanese and several European na
tions , and hurt the worst-off, the Africans being at the bottom
of the heap. The only two frontiertehnological developments
that he grants real signifcance to le biotechnology and ro
botics . His argument concering these is, in summar form:
Biotechnology will certainly increase food production, but it
will be dominated by powerful multinational cororations of
the U. S. and other advanced sector countries, and will be ef
fectively denied the developing setor (which has come to be
known as "technological apartheid") . Biotechnology will also
progressively eliminate the species of farer, by "de-materi
alizing" the production of food. Robotics, meanwhile, will

Huntsville, Alabama. Space explorationfor the new malthusians
like Paul Kennedy is anathema: His ilk think it' s bad enoughfor
the Earth to be so populated with mankind, who is in the image of
God; they can' t bear the thought that a new Renaissance would
lead people to colonize and expand on other planets as well .

is now being "controlled" in Iraq, through the brutal combina
tion of war and sanctions. Is that Kennedy' s preferred solution
for the developing world as a whole?
If you don' t like it, kill it
At the risk of using British-style understatement our
selves, we can call Kennedy' s a most selective view of his to
ry, one that is defned as much by what is omitted as what is
said. The alert reader will note, for instance, an historical
amnesia about the American Revolution. Since the American
Revolution was the interational rallying point in the late
1 8th century against British malthusianism, Kennedy evi
dently feels it is better to ignore the subject.
While Kennedy is not so stupid as to deny that the original
malthusian argument, that population growth would outpace
food production, was overtured by "the power of technolo
gy-the capacity of the human mind to fnd new ways of
doing things, to invent new devices , to organize production
in improved forms , to quicken the pace of moving goods and
ideas from one place to another, to stimulate fresh approaches
to old problems . " Yet his treatment offundamental scientifc
technlogical issues is such that one would have to include
that he is either functionally illiterate, or is so ideologically
committed to the liberal ecologists' world view that he re
fuses to acknowledge the existence of technological phenom
ena that get in the way of his construct; perhaps he is or both.
The other possibility, is that the policy grouping for which
Kennedy speaks , is committed to phasing out certain of the
most important frontier technologies , and therefore wants to
stop any public dialogue about certain subjects .
This may backfre, however, since the curious reader
might wonder why Kennedy apears to be paralyzed with
fear that the mere mentioning of, say, "space exploration"
would undermine his entire complex of neo-malthusian argu
ments . As well he might: Space exploration-or better, space
colonization-an only be a function of the kind of Renais
sance that launched the Columbian colonization of America,
under which the populations of Europe and the Americas
enjoyed increases in both size and standards of living.
Kennedy' s 2 1 st century thereby shapes up as a linear
extension of the most entropic ("ecologist") features of the
present into an indefnite future. It is a 2 1 st century without
nuclear energy, without frontier technologies such as those
based on plasmas and directed energy, without exploration
of space. As already noted, this is a 2 1 st century that will
never exist in the form he pontifcates about, since a world
premised on such indefnitely extended entropic trends will
be a world that will undergo profound physical-economic,
cultural , and social breakdown long before the year 20.
Let us now present various examples, and contrast Ken
nedy' s treatment or non-treatment, with the truth.
Take the matter of nuclear fssion. Kennedy makes occa
sional brief references to the subject , but only negative ones .
He speaks of the problem of nuclear waste, or of the Chero-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
byl disaster, and elsewhere holds: up Sweden as a model ,
because of national plicy to phas out nuclear energy. Nu
clear fssion is simply written out pf the 21 st-centur equa
tion. Even from the standpoint of i Kennedy' s twisted belief
in the "greenhouse effect" and hs argument for what he
calls a " ' non-carbon' path toward industrialization" for the
developing world based on "modem techniques, " it is re
markable that he excludes the nulear option, without any
explanation. His list of "alteratiVe energy sources" includes
"wind, photovoltaic, geotheral , iomass-sourced. "
An antidote to this appears i n the Spring 1 993 issue of
the quarterly 21st Centur Science Technology. The cover
story, "The Danger Is Not Going Nuclear, " contains the as
sessments of scientists who pioneerd in developing nuclear
energy, about the future prospec for this energy source.
This speaks for itself as a refutatioato Kennedy.
With nuclearfusion. the autho

goes one step furher: He
never bothers to mention it, either mits theronuclear for,
or the new "cold" or "solid-state" reathrough. This Olym
pian arogance of dismissing what-ver doesn' t corespond to
his construct , makes even some oiKennedy' s most ferent
admirers uncomforable. In an ouerise fawning rview,
Princeton University Prof. Alan R

an, writing in the May 1 3

New York Review of Books. conludes with the waing:
"Optimists will say, quite rightly, that Professor Kennedy is
guilty of unsophisticated extrapolaaon-that he takes present
trends and tells us how ghastly things will be if they continue;
but they never do continue . . . . The development of cheap
and pollution-free energy from mclear fusion could upset
projections about the costs of development . "
Ryan i s undoubtedly refering to "hot" fusion. Vis-a-vis
"cold" fusion, Kennedy simply adopts the pay line of the
leading Anglo-American scientifC! and political institutions ,
for which i t i s a non-subject. Since e spring of 1 989, discus
sion of cold fusion has been virQally taboo in the Anglo
American real m, and the two electrochemists who frst dis
covered the phenomenon, Marn lleischmann from Britain
and Stanley Pons were hounded iato exile from the United
States , and now conduct their rese!ch, with Japanese fund
ing, in souther France.
But here again, ther is a rem$fkable counter-trend. As
Preparing for the 21 st C entur w soarng to the bestseller
chars in Gerany, aricles were IPpearng in the press in
neighboring France, porraying cold fusion as an option that
might be able to solve the energy iproblems of humanity in
the next centur .
Perhaps the most egregious e'l ple of this inquisition
by-omission against scientifc-technological progress, is
Kennedy' s blacking out of space xploration. He obviously
is not a latter-day Rip Van Winkl, and has lived to see the
remarkable effects of John F. K4nnedy' s space program,
Russian space developments .

Nobody Nowhere: The Extraordinar
Autobiography of an Autistic
by Donna Williams
Times Books. New York. 1 992
21 9 pages. hardbound. $20
This book has afected us both deeply. The very fact of its
existence is extraordinary. For an autistic person to be able
to write this kind of autobiography, is itself something most
experts would consider impossible before seeing it . Nobody
Nowhere is the jourey of Donna Williams from the realm
of "my world" to the realm of "the world. " As she says in
the Author' s Note:
"This is a story of two battles , a battle to keep out ' the
world' and a battle to join it. . . . I have, throughout my
private war, been a she, a you, a Donna, a me, and fnally
an I. . . . If you sense distance, you' re not mistaken; it ' s
real . Welcome to my world. "
Autism i s defned i n one mental health encyclopedia,
as a preoccupation with one' s own thoughts and feelings .
Autistic disorder or infantile autism, which Williams refers
to simply as autism, is described as a serious developmental
disorder characterized by lack of social interest, mutism or
speech problems , and self-destructiveness . Like other mental
disorders , autism spans a range of symptoms and degrees of
severity. For example, while avoidance of emotional ex
change-- even eye contact-is characteristic, some children
will scream or throw tantrums in response to physical con
tact, and others may allow it under certain conditions . The
autistic child, in particular, fnds much of the world outside
himself incomprehensible and, therefore, either frightening
or entirely unimportant. Thus, the separation, as Williams
says, of an inner "my world" from "the world. "
Because autism tends to preclude good verbal communi
cation, the task of trying to get to the root of seemingly
incomprehensible behavior patters from observation alone
can appear insurmountable, even to the professional thera-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
pist . Dr. Lawrence Barak, a speqialist in psychology and
special education, makes the point in his Introduction: "Pro
fessionals are not superhuman, andl a just as prone to mak
ing incorrect , if not downright silly, interpretations of what
they observe as anybody else. Many of the things we notice
in people with autism remain puzzling, even after some 40
to 50 years of research in this feld. t,
Nobody Nowhere provides a uniue view, from the inside
out , of the world of autism. Donn4 Williams thus serves as
our guide, as it were, among a group whose language we
cannot interpret. As such, it will ' surely be invaluable to
those dealing with autistic individulls and, in some cases like
Donna Williams ' s , to autistic indivduals themselves .
However, this book goes beyond providing insights; it
may be revolutionary. In the handS of insightful profession
als , it may hold keys to new apprqaches to treatment. For,
what Donna Williams makes crystal clear throughout her
story, is that each action, every pehavior of the autistic,
though it may make no apparent sepse to the observer, has a
reason. She explains her reasons Ifor numerous activities,
from going into hallucinatory state to repeated, compulsive
actions (such as her attempting tq walk through the large
mirror in her room for a year, uable to comprehend the
mirror image and seeking to enter te world seen refected in
it) . Even the characteristic self-abu$e, such as head-banging,
she describes as a way to "fght iension and to provide a
thudding rhythm in my head when my mind was screaming
too loud for me . . . to calm down. I '
Rejecting Freud, Jung, and Skinner
In revealing the reasoning behiqd her actions , Williams' s
book provides i n its own way dramatic confrmation of one
important psychological thesi s. In
I
the early 1 970s, Lyndon
LaRouche presented a series of leqtures in New York City,
entitled "Beyond Psychoanalysi s. Critiquing both classical
psychoanalytical and modem mods of the mind, and shar
ly refuting behaviorism as gloried animal-training and
worse, LaRouche insisted that the otivation for human ac
tion derives from its perceived potential to enhance the sense
of social identity, however that intity may be located in
the individual , i . e. , even though th sense of identity may be

M|ssJeanne S|mons (Jeanne Smons, The Hiden Child-
EIR June l l , l 993
The Linwood Methodfor Reaching the Autistic Child; Wood
bine, N. Y. : 1 986) . Simons , a pioneer in autistic treatment
and clearly an extraordinary human being, appears to reject
the precepts of behavior modifcation (to which we are op
posed in all cases) as a way of treating autism. In example
afer example, Miss Simons shows how she sought to dis
cover the why of a child' s behavior and helped the child
come to an understanding of the cause of the behavior and of
how to change it . Because of her approach, she was able to
solve many mysteries of compulsive behavior which were
otherwise incomprehensible. Her ofen fascinating, heart
warming discoveries, a number of which are personally relat
ed in the book, make the same point as Williams: The mind of
the autistic person is working but trapped inside an emotional
prison.
Behavior-modifcation techniques are ofen used on au
tistic individual s. While these techniques appear to "work"
insofar as obtaining the desired behavioral "results , " they
provide the individual with no greater understanding of him
self or the world. They "work, " in part, because autistic
people, in an effort to bring order to what they perceive as
chaos, will grasp onto routines and structure. But this so
called science has to go.
Behavior modifcation denies the diference between
man and animal s. Early behaviorist B. F. Skinner, famous
for endlessly putting rats through mazes decades ago, used
the same techniques on humans as he used on rats . Later
practitioners developed more sophisticated means of manipu
lation, but the axioms necessarily remained the same. The
behaviorist approach fundamentally denies the creative spark
of the human mind known in Christianity as imago viva Dei,
or "the living image of God. " All of human progress stands
as proof of the fact that we are not like animal s. We can think
and solve problems , and we engage in a process of perfecting
ourselves . This capacity exists in autistic people, but it is
obstructed and not accessed in the same way.
Donna Williams proves beyond any doubt that she is
actively engaged in this process of perfection. Having had in
childhood almost no relation to reality, as a young adult she
discovered her own identity and then some of the universal
aspects of autism itself, and through that process progressed
to the point of being able to self-refexively describe that
exceptional process of development. Donna Williams today
is the answer to all those who favor using behavior modifca
tion techniques . To treat any human as though he or she were
no better than an animal , is to deny what is human in us all .
Paricularly striking i n reading The Hidden Child and
Nobody Nowhere, is how closely Donna Williams' s sugges
tions for dealing with autistic children (provided at the end
of her book) parallel the approach pioneered by Simons. That
Simons came up with the same idea "frm the outside" as
Donna Williams does from the inside, is high prise for
the Linwood method she developed. An indication of the
comparison is shown by the following excerpts . Donna Wil-
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
Iiams ' s suggestion fom the Aferword is as follows:
"If loving parents can try to stand objectively away from
their own emotional needs and relate to such children always
in terms of how those children perceive the world, then the
children may fnd the trust and courage to reach out step by
step at their own pace.
"This , however, ought only to be an interim measure.
Gain the chil d' s trust and tell him or her that you accept who
and where he or she is . Through trst he or she may develop
interest in ' the world, ' and at frst this exploration should be
on the only terms he or she knows-his or her own. Only
once this is frmly established should you take the safety
net away slowly piece by piece. This is the way to make a
transition from the child' s sense of elf of itself as the world
to a new sense of itself in the world o-called ' normal ' people
share.
"This method, in complete contadiction to normal inter
action, is indirect in nature. In this way it is less all-consum
ing, sufocating, and invasive. The child can then reach out ,
not as a conforming role-playing robot , but as a feeling,
albeit extremely shy and evasive, human being. The best
approach would be one that would not exchange individuality
and freedom for the parents' , teacher' s , or counselor' s ver
sion of respectability and impressiveness . At this point I
ought to make it clear that I am no espousing sof options .
One must tackle war with war and disarmament with disar
mament . I am saying that the war must be thought through,
sensitive, and well paced. "
This principle, of encouraging the child to come from
"his world" into "the world" while recognizing the child as an
individual human being, is the core of the Linwood method,
which starts from the assumption tt the behavior of a given
child represents the "only options aailable" to him or her:
"At Linwood, all children are accorded a right to their
individuality, but the staf also know that eventually they
have to ft into an existing world. ' Their task is to observe
each child and to strcture the envirnment in ways that
make it supportive, responsive to his needs , and conducive to
growth. As Jeanne Simons put it:
"And that ' s why we walk behind the chil d. He feels your
protection when you walk behind. If you give him a chance
to go any direction, he may be wrong when he goes this way
or that . Just follow him. If it' s a dea end, pick him up gently
and brng him to the main route. But never think that you
know the answers , because you are dealing with an individual
who may want to go ver different routes which for him may
be better. That ' s why I feel more comforable behind the
children, so I can see where they a going. ' "
At a time when behaviorst assumptions (and solutions)
dominate much of the psychological feld, we may be grateful
for Donna Williams' s ray of light in the dakness , as well as
for fnding The Hidden Child, and hop that both of these
boks will inspire all those whose lives are touched by
autism.

Is te 'Taoff doctriqe'
now U. S. strategic poIcy?
I
by Scott Thompson and Edward Spannaus
Afer the publication of Undersecretary of State for Political
Afairs Peter Taroff' s May 25 remarks to the Overseas Writ
ers Club, which frst surfaced without attribution in the Wash
ington Post and other news outlets , senior White House of
cials and Secretary of State Warren Christopher scrambled
to control the damage. What Taroff had revealed was the
effort of some circles to force a reevaluation of U . S. strategy,
aimed at selective U. S. disengagement from world leader
ship, allegedly so that the Clinton administration could con
centrate upon the collapsing domestic economy.
Some leading European fgures took Taroff' s speech as
an after-the-fact rationalization for the Clinton administra
tion' s capitulation to a genocidal European-Russian "solu
tion" to the Bosnian crisis over the May 2 1 -23 weekend.
While it was certainly this , EIR has leared that the "Tarof
doctrine" of U. S. disengagement from its moral responsibili
ties of leadership had already been promulgated, with at least
the tacit support of Secretary of State Christopher himself,
almost two months earlier, at the U. S. State Department' s
"Open Forum" on March 3 1 . This was long before Christo
pher came back empty-handed from efors to win allied
support for President Clinton' s policy of surgical bombing
strikes against Serbian forces and for lifing the arms embar
go against Bosnia.
Still , Taroff' s remarks created a furor that led other
administration offcials to try to distance themselves from
Taroff' s speech. Both Christopher and an unnamed "senior
White House offcial" quickly denied that Tarofrepresent
ed President Clinton' s policy. On May 28 , White House
spokesman Dee Dee Myers said: "This ofcial clearly does
not speak for the administration on the U. S. role in the post
Cold War world. "
However, at the same time, Christopher appeared on the
50 National
ABC News program "Nightline'' to state: "We can' t do it all .
We have to measure our abilitY to act in the interests of the
United States, but to save ou power for those situations
which threaten our deepest natiqnal interest, at the same time
doing all we can where there' s umanitarian concer. "
Then on June 1 , Christophr set forth the most explicit
version of a new "Clinton docti.e" in a lengthy interview on
the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hou, in which he repeatedly said
that the United States will lead | but in a "multilateral" way.
Christopher also tried to justify t. S. abdication of its leader
ship around Bosnia by asserting that Bosnia "does not affect
our vital national interests , " e*ept in a humanitarian way
(calling for a multilateral respqnse) , and "except as we' r
trying to contain it"-which c'luld involve unilateral U. S.
action i n Kosova or Makedonija.
What did Tarnot say? !
Until his nomination as undtsecretary of state for policy,
Peter Taroff had been preside,t of the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) , and before tht he served with Christopher
as a senior ofcial in the Carter IState Department . His wife,
the former Mathea Falco, had al!o served i n the Carer admin
istration, where she gained not-riety for peddling drg de
criminalization. While Taroft was heading the CPR, its
1 990s project entitled Imperia Temptation stated that the
United States must never agai engage in major military
operations like the Persian Gul(war, regardless of the pur
pose of the confict . As former Kissinger crony Helmut Son
nenfeldt at the Brookings Institution put it with regard to
Taroff' s speech: "He i s just fllowing the program of the
previous institution with which he was afliated. "
Among the policies Tarot attributed i n his speech to
the Clinton administration were the following:

Senate Republicas
offer bil to end
Bosnia embago
On May Z` , Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole (Kans . )
introduced a bill , co-sponsored by Republicans Richard Lu
gar (Ind. ) , Alfonse D' Amato (N. Y. ) , Slade Gorton (Wash. ) ,
Malcolm Wallop (Wyo. ) , and Strom Thurmond (S . C. ) ,
which would oblige the United States to lif the arms embargo
against Bosnia-Hercegovina. The bill has also been intro
duced into the House by Henry Hyde (R-Ill . ) , co-sponsored
by fve Republicans and a Democrat, Charles Wilson of Tex
as . It is expected that the Democratic leadership will bottle
the legislation up in committee to "avoid embarrassment" to
the President.
In his prfatory remarks, Senator Dole said, "I believe that
lifing te arms embargo is te least we can do, and I urge the
administration to rsume the course it set out on four weeks
ago. The United States should lead the way in doing what is
right. The interational community may chose not to follow
thrugh on collective defense, but it should not and must not
stand in the way of Bosnia' s right to self-defense. " The act
would allow up to $ZU million in military assistance t te
goverment of the embattled nation, which Dole emphasized
is a "sovereign state and member of the United Nations. "
Dole continued, "I know that the President is committed
to a multilateral approach-I support this approach. But, it
seems that multilateral ism has become the primary goal and
good policy the secondary goal . " He stressed that in his view
the United States, "as the world' s only superpower, " should
"construct the best policy and then work to forge a consen
sus . " His bill "offers an alterative to waiting" for the U. N.
Security Council to act .
The following is excerpted from S. l 04, "The Bosnia
Hercegovina Self-Defense Act of l vvJ . `
Sec. 2, Findings . . . .
( l ) On July l 0, l vv l , the United States adopted a policy
suspending all licenses and other approvals to export or other
wise transfer defense articles and defense services to Yugo
slavia.
(Z)On Sept . Z , l vv l , the United Nations Security Coun
cil adopted Resolution ` I J , which imposed a mandatory in
terational embargo on all deliveries of weapons and military
equipment to Yugoslavia . . . .
(4)On Jan. 8 , l vvZ,the United Nations Security Council
adopted Resolution `Z` , which decided that the mandatory
arms embargo imposed by Resolution ` l J should apply to
52 National
any independent states that mght thereafter emerge on the
territory of Yugoslavia.
( 5) On Feb. Zvand March 1 , l VVZ, the people of Bosnia
Hercegovina voted in a referenum to declare independence
from Yugoslavia.
(6) On April 7 , l VVZ, the United States recognized the
Goverment of Bosnia-Hercegpvina.
(`)On May ZZ, l VvZ, the qoverment of Bosnia-Here
govina was admitted to full mbmbership in the United Na
tions.
(8) Consistent with Resolut|on 727,the United States has
continued to apply the policy aopted July l 0, l VVl . . . .
(v) Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 727 and
Bosnia-Hercegovina' s indep'dence referendum, the siege
of Sarajevo began and fghtipg spread to other areas of
Bosnia-Hercegovina.
( l 0) The Goverment of Serbia intervened directly in
the fghting by prviding signitcant militar, fnancial , and
political support and directioh to Serbian-allied iregula
forces in Bosnia-Hercegovina. i
( l l ) In statements dated ay l and May l Z, l VVZ, the
Conference on Security and Cperation in Europe declared
that the Goverment of Serbi and the Serbian-contrlled
Yugoslav National Ary Were committing aggression
against the Goverment of Bosnia-Hercegovina and assigned
to them prime responsibility mr the escalation of bloodshed
and destruction.
( l Z) On May J0, l VVZ, :he United Nations Security
Council adopted Resolution 75, which condemned the Gov
erment of Serbia for its coqtinued failur to respect the
territorial integrity of Bosnia-iercegovina.
( l J) Serbian-allied iregul forces have, over the last
year, occupied approximately
}
0of the teritor of Bosnia
Hercegovina, committed gros violations of human rghts in
the areas they have occupied, nd established a secessionist
goverment committed to eveQtual unifcation with Serbia.
( 1 4) The militar and othe suppor and direction provid
ed to Serbian-allied iregular forces in Bosnia-Hercegovina
constitutes an ared attack 00 the Goverment of Bosnia
Hercegovina by the Govermnt of Serbia within the mean
ing of Article l of the United lations Charer.
( 1 5) Under Aicle 5 1 , the Gvement of Bosnia-Herego
vina . . . has an inhernt rght f individua o colletive slf
defense against te ae atkifm te Govent of Seria
until the Unitd Nations Securt Council has taen masurs
necessay t maintin intematioP pae and securt.
( 1 6) The measures taken b the United Nations Securty
Council in response to the ared attack on Bosnia-Hercego
vina have not been adequate tq maintain interational pace
and security.
( 1 7) Bosnia-Hercegovina has been unable successfully
to resist the armed attack frol Serbia because it lacks the
means to counter heavy weapnr that Serbia obtained from
the Yugoslav National Ary . I and because the mandator

EIR June l l , l VVJ

interational arms embargo has prevented Bosnia-Hercego
vina from obtaining from other countries the means to count
er such heavy weaponry.
( I S) On Dec . I S, I vvZ, with the affrmative vote of the
United States , the United Nations General Assembly adopted
Resolution 4`/ I Z I , which urged the United Nations Security
Council to exempt Bosnia-Hercegovina from the mandatory
arms embargo imposed by Resolution ` I J .
( I v) In the absence of adequate measures to maintain
interational peace and security, continued application to
the Goverment of Bosnia-Hercegovina of the mandatory
interational arms embargo imposed by the United Nations
Security Council prior to the armed attack on Bosnia-Herce
govina undermines that goverment ' s right of individual or
collective self-defense and therefore contravenes Article I
of the United Nations Charter.
(Z0) Bosnia-Hercegovina' s right of self-defense under
Article l of the United Nations Charter includes the right to
ask for military assistance from other countries and to receive
such assistance if ofered.
Sec. 3, United States Arms Embargo of the Government
of Bosnia-Hercegovina.
(a) TERMINATION-The President shall terminate the
United States arms embargo of the Goverment of Bosnia
Hercegovina upon receipt from that goverment of a request
for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under
Article l . . . .
(b) DEFINITION-As used in this section, the term
"United States arms embargo of the Goverment of Bosnia
Hercegovina" means the application to the Goverment of
Bosnia-Hercegovina of-
( l ) the policy adopted July l 0, l vv I , and published in
the Federal Register of July l v, l vvl . . . under the heading
"Suspnsion of Munitions Export Licenses to Yugoslavia"; and
(Z)any similar policy being applied by the United States
Goverment as of the date of receipt of the request described
in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is routinely
denied for transfer of defense articles and defense services
to the former Yugoslavia.
Sec. 4, United States Military Assistance for Bosnia-Her
cegovina.
(a) POLICY -The President should provide appropriate
military assistance to the Goverment of Bosnia-Hercegovi
na upon receipt from that goverment of a request for assis
tance . . . .
(b) AUTHORIZATION OF MILITARY ASSIS
TANCE-
( l ) . . . [T]he President is authorized to direct the draw
down of defense articles from the stocks of the Department
of Defense, defense services of the Department of Defense,
and military education and training in order to provide assis
tance to the Goverment of Bosnia-Hercegovina. Such assis
tance shall be provided on such terms and conditions as the
President may determine.

' CultExpcrt'KcllyJalcd
Jur convct CA's
kidapper for hire
A federal jury on May 27 convicte4 Galen Kelly, a contract
kidnapper associated with the Cult Awareness Network
(CAN) , on charges of kidnapping. Kelly was convicted in
federal court in Alexandria, Virginia of abducting Debra
Dobkowski from Washington, D. c' on May 5 , 1 992, taking
her against her will to Leesburg, Virginia, and returing her
to Washington in the early moring hours of May 6.
Kelly, a paid kidnapper for CA, now faces a minimum
of eight to nine years in prison. His bond has been revoked,
and he is currently being held in thd Alexandria jail .
Kelly' s conviction marks the rst time one of CAN' s
"deprogrammers" has been convicted in federal court. CAN
has long served as a clearinghouse' for an interational net
work of contract kidnappers; for a fee they will abduct people
who are members of organizations which CAN labels
"cults , " and then "deprogram" them of their beliefs-a eu-
phemism for brainwashing.
.
CAN was instrumental in guiding the Bureau of Alcohol ,
Tobacco, and Firearms and the FBI into carrying out the
assault on the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas which led
to the hecatomb in which S6 people died. In collaboration
with the Anti-Defamation League of B' nai B' rith (ADL) ,
CAN also played a role in federal and state goverment prose
cutions of the LaRouche movement.
Thus , the conviction and jailing of Kelly has the potential
to expose and knock out those sections of the Justice Depar
ment which have worked with, and protected, the CAN-ADL
networks . Shock waves over the jailing of this key operative
can be expected to rip through the ADL, Scottish Rite Free
masons, and other corrupt networks.
Caught bragging
In this case, Kelly had been hired by Donna Bruckert,
the mother of Dobkowski ' s roommate, to kidnap her daugh
ter Beth. Kelly kidnapped Dobkowlki instead. The kidnap
ping was arranged through CAN. At his trial , Kelly testifed
that he had conducted J0-40 kidnapings in the last 1 0- 1 5
years .
Kelly has specialized in so-called deprogramming, and
was notoriously rou,h. In the Dobkowski case, he worked
with members of the Lubavitcher group, who manhandled
National 53
Galen Kelly at his trial for the attempted kidnapping of Lewis du
Pont Smith and his wie, Andrea, Dec. 31 , 1 992 .

New >Francisco PLspy
indictments exected soon
by Jeffrey Steinberg
Former San Francisco police ofcer Tom Gerard made a brief
court appearance on June 2 before Municipal Court Judge
Dorothy von Beroldingen to have a hearing date set for July
23 in the ongoing spy case involving the Anti-Defamation
League of B' nai B' rith (ADL) . On July 23 , a formal date
will be set for a preliminary hearing to determine whether
Gerard' s case will be sent before a jury.
The Gerard appearance was the scene of a noisy demon
stration outside the courthouse by a group calling itself the
Coalition Against Surveillance. The group, which included
the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Na
tional Lawyers Guild, the American Civil Liberties Union,
and a variety of Arab-American and other ethnic and political
groups that were targets of illegal ADL surveillance, de
manded full exposure of the nationwide espionage operation,
of which the San Francisco case is merely a piece.
Sources close to the San Francisco probe say that the
delay in the Gerard trial date will not affect the expected
release of further indictments in the San Francisco case some
time before the end of June. Those indictments are expected
to hit key ofcials of the ADL in both the Bay Area and
New York City, where the League maintains its national
headquarters .
Last month, Assistant District Attorey John Dwyer,
who has led the probe of ADL espionage, tax evasion, and
thef of classifed goverment data, told reporters that ADL
Fact-Finding Division chief Irwin Suall is defnitely a target
of the probe. Suall hired a local criminal defense lawyer in
San Francisco and since late April has refused to talk to any
reporters .
The identifcation of Suall as a kingpin in the spy ring
raises important interational questions . In 1 986, Sual l , a
leading ofcial of the Socialist Interational who was trained
at the Fabian socialist Ruskin Labor College at Oxford Uni
versity in England, was caught colluding with Soviet KGB
and East German Stasi intelligence ofcials in a coverup of
the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme.
Suall , who taveled to Sweden immediately after the Pal
me murder, led the campaign to spread the lie that Swedish
associates of Lyndon LaRouche were responsible for the
58 National
Palme murder. Much later, ip interviews with the Swedish
press , a top offcial of the Eastl German Stasi admitted public
ly that the "LaRouche killed alme" ruse had been designed
by East German intelligence o misdirect investigators , and
had been conduited into the wester media by a core group
of secret Soviet bloc intelligece assets . (See EIR, Sept . 1 1 ,
1 992, "Stasi Agent: ' We Sprbad Lie That LaRouche Killed
Palme. ' ") Where does that leave Irwin Suall ?
A long trial process
Under Califoria law, before a felony case goes to trial
before a jury, the judge hold$ a lengthy evidentiary hearing
to determine whether the original grand j ury indictment was
justifed. Such a pre-trial process involves the examination
of much of the evidence that will eventually be presented
before a jury. Under Califoria procedures, no plea agree
ments or settlements of a felony case can occur before such
a pre-trial evidentiary hearing has taken place. Therefore, if
there are felony indictments against the ADL and some of
its top offcial s, as expected!, much of the evidence of the
League' s criminal operations will be made pUblic.
Sources familiar with the San Francisco district attor
ney' s probe forecast that the process of pre-trial hearings and
an eventual jury trial could te as long as two years .
Sources close to the ADLin New York City have toidEIR
that the League has already prepared an elaborate damage
control strategy. A number of key offcials caught up in
the spy web are already expected to resign. These ofcials
reportedly include Irwin Sua!l , San Francisco regional head
Rick Hirshchaut, and national director Abraham Foxman.
Roy Bullock-the ADL spy in the Bay Area who, along
with Gerard and other ADL "moles" inside police depart
ments across the wester United States, gathered classifed
data on tens of thousands of American citizens and nearly a
thousand political , religious , civil rights , and ethnic
groups-has been put out to pasture, according to reliable
sources .
Other possible targets of the reported ADL self-purge
include Mira Lansky Boland, the Washington, D. C. "fact
fnder" and former graduate' school classmate of convicted
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
spy Jonathan Jay Pollard. Lansky Boland, a former CIA
and Pentagon intelligence analyst , led a May 1 99 1 ADL all
expenses-paid junket for 1 1 police intelligence offcers to
Israel . Indicted ex-San Francisco police offcer Gerard was a
member of that delegation, along with f ve police intelligence
ofcers from the greater Washington, D. C. area.
One of those offcers , Loudoun County, Virginia Sher
iff' s Lt . Donald Moore, was fred nine months afer the junket
for stealing classifed department fles . An administrative
investigation is now being conducted into Moore' s possible
links to the ADL nationwide spy ring; and if that probe bears
fruit , Lansky Boland could fnd herself in the same position
as Bullock.
The Israeli dimension
According to ADL-linked sources , the ongoing spy scan
dal in the United States is having a signifcant impact on the
Israeli political situation and the efforts by the goverment
of Prime Minister Yitzha Rabin to revive the Middle East
peace negotiations . During the 1 977-92 period, when the
Likud bloc was in power, both the ADL and the American
Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lined up squarely
with the Israeli goverment in opposing serious concessions
to Palestinians on land-for-peace and related issues . ADL' s
close relations with Gen. Ariel Sharon and spymaster "Dirty"
Raf Eytan. the controller of Pollard, became notorious dur
ing the mid- 1 980s .
Inside the United States, the ADL-Likud alliance ex
pressed itself in the League' s deep involvement in the Iran
Contra "secret goverment" apparatus associated with Lt .
Col . Oliver North, the National Endowment for Democracy
("Project Democracy"), and the use of the South American
drug cartels in fnancing covert operations. The ADL immer
sion in this U. S. -Israeli dirty intelligence alliance was , ac
cording to sources, directed by then-ADL national director
Nathan Perlmutter. When he was replaced by Abe Foxman,
the ADL' s profle remained unchanged. While the ADL' s
spying on the civil rights movement dates back to the 1 960s
and its monitoring of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , the broad
based surveillance against virtually every political activist in
America has been linked by sources to the ADL-Likud-Proj
ect Democracy marriage.
It is those "neo-conservative" networks in both the United
States and Israel that are today committed to wrecking the
fragile prospects for some kind of peaceful solution to the
Israel-Palestine confict . Thus, Rabin has a strong, personal
vested interest in seeing to it that the ADL and AIPAC fgures
most closely alled with the radical right wing in Israel and
in the interational "Jewish lobby" are cut down to size.
This interal struggle within the Israel lobby was refect
ed in a pair of lengthy editorial-page commentaries published
on May 28 in the New York Times. The frst of the two
articles , penned by longtime ADL stringers Dennis King and
Chip Berlet , accused the ADL of going wrong during the
EIR June 1 1 , 1 993
Reagan years by jumping in bed with neo-conseratives and
anti-communist zealots . The acc0panying piece, a defen
sive article by the ADL' s Foxman, pismissed the entir San
Francisco spy scandal as one "Bia Lie" concocted by the
ADL' s "anti-Semitic" adversaries .
King and Berlet were used by the ADL thrughout the
1 980s in the League' s multimilliondollar criminal drive to
slander and then frame up Lyndo LaRouche. Both have
been longstanding ADL "moles" in te left-liberal communi
ty. Berlet is currently fnanced by eommodities speculator
and drug legalization guru Richard Dennis of Chicago.
Damage control won' t work I
The various efforts by the ADr to control the damage
from the San Francisco scandal all destined to fail . Al
ready, efforts to prevent the spreaaof the scandal to other
parts of the country a breaking don. After a distrct attor
ney in Portland, Oregon attempted o shut down a probe of
local police collusion with the Aq, a local investigative
reporter with the Oregonian newspaIer unearthed documents
released by the San Francisco poli
q
e that had been ignord
by the district attorey' s investigion. Those documents
showed clearly that the police were
,
athering illegal data on
local citizens and passing it regully to the ADL between
1 980 and 1 993 . That probe has , as result, been reopened.
Last month, the ADL released 5 1 -page special repor
titled "Fact Finding: Protection A

ainst Extremism. " The

document includes a seven-page setion of "questions and
answers" about the San Francisco espionage caper, flled
with lies and misrepresentations th.t a already disproven
by documents publicly released froJ the San Francisco po
lice. In the report, the ADL categom::ally denies that it spied
on the National Association for the Advancement of Colord
People (NAACP) , Greenpeace, KQED-FM radio (public ra
dio in San Francisco) , the United Farm Workers, the Amer
can Civil Liberties Union, and othe
h
ef-liberal groups .
This kind of "massaging" the jublic record will only
serve to further anger investigators apd victims of the ADL' s
systematic spy operations . A WashiqgtonJewish Weekedito
rial defense of the ADL, l abeling mrmer congressman Pete
McCloskey "one of Palestine Liberaion Organization Chair
man Vasser Arafat' s chief congresional apologists, " will
not help the ADL' s legal situation i either. McCloskey has
fled a Califoria state class action sUit against the ADL, and
among the plaintiffs in the case is tigal Arens , the son of
former Israeli Defense Minister MO$he Arens and a leading
Israeli peace activist .
I
The public battle-within the JeWish community and ls-
'
rael , and within the United States as a whole-has just begun.
If, as pol ice sources say, the prosec,tion of the ADL in San
Francisco could go on for up to two Y;ars , the public spotlight
on ADL criminality will remain bright. And whatever kind
of damage control efforts the ADL lapnches will fall far shor
of their goal of returing to their dirtbusiness as usual .

USDA disputes EPA' s
methyl bromide phaseout
A dispute is building within the Clinton ad
ministration over the Environmental Protec
tion Agency' s mandated phaseout of methyl
bromide in January 200. That target is too
early and too drastic, according to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. There i s no sci
entifc evidence that the widely used chemi
cal depletes the ozone layer, and there is no
replacement developed for the pesticide and
fumigant.
Nancy Ragsdale, who directs the
USDA' s National Pesticide Impact Assess
ment Program, said of the EPA action: "We
would prefer better science before such
drastic action is taken. " It will cost farmers
$1. 6 billion to replace methyl bromide.
USDA environmental toxicologist Willis
Wheeler stated: "There really isn' t good sol
id evidence of methyl bromide' s ozone
depletion potential . This order could be off
by an order of magnitude. "

warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, nucle
ar winter, radon, and cancer risks from
chemicals . The last panel was on the role of
the media in spreading lies and disinforma
tion. The conference was co-sponsored by
the International Institute of George Mason
University and the Science and Environ
mental Policy Project .
It was clear from the presentations and
discussions that there is an upheaval in the
scientifc community against the environ
mental frauds that have been perpetrated in
the past several decades . At the same time,
the speakers on the media panel emphasized
that the most prominent newspapers and
magazines in the country, have decided to
shift their coverage of environmental issues
to refect some scientifc truth, not just the
claims of the environmentalists .

Thomas Fleming, editor of the Rockford In
stitute' s Chronicles magazine, called for
setting up a U. S. separatist movement along
the lines of Italy' s Lombard League and or
ganized a conference along the same theme
in March.
Fleming, who is avidly pro-Confeder
ate, wrote in the February issue of Chroni
cles that "the reality of life in America" is
"the rioting and rampages pertuated by an
underclass that consists, for the most part,
of unassimilated minorities . . . . There d
only two alternatives for this continental
empire that has never been a real nation:
either we fnd the means to decentralize de
cision-making and restore authority to the
old institutions of family and town and
country (and even state), or else we lapse
into a multifaceted civil war of blacks
against Hispanics against whites against
blacks against Jews . "
He called for the creation of a movement
devoted to "political devolution," privatiza
tion, and "protection of the national inter
est . " "If there is no movement or party wit
ing to embrace a Leghist program," he
wrote, "then one needs to be formed, and if
that is impossible, my advice is to stockpile
ammunition and invest in bullet-proof doors
and shutters . "

On teror
The week of May 23 saw a new wave of interational
teror. While each of three major and several minor
incidents appeared to be unique and distinct , taken to
gether, an entirely diferent picture emerges .
First , on May 26, Mexican Cardinal Juan Jesus
Posadas Ocampo was murdered. An attempt was made
to stage the incident to appear as a drug-related shooting
so that the death might seem accidental , but this was
quickly disproven.
On the same day, a car bomb exploded near the
Uffzi Gallery in Florence, destroying priceless paint
ings and sculptures and killing 5 and injuring 30 people.
This has been ofcially attributed to the mafa; how
ever, within and without Italy, such an action by crimi
nal gangs alone is viewed as improbable, especially
when coupled with the fact that another car bomb was
placed near the seat of the goverment in Rome on June
2.
In Germany, there have been a number of arsons ,
with the most horrible being the buring alive of fve
long-time Turkish residents in Germany (three adults
and two children) . This has unleashed a typical gang
countergang operation, with neo-Nazi skinheads
squared off against radical terrorists of the Danny
Cohn-Bendit stripe. While there is extensive documen
tation that the neo-Nazi skinhead phenomenon is not a
"German" phenomenon but is being led by skinheads
from Britain and Ku Klux Klansmen in the United
States, this incident is being used as the pretext to
launch new scare stories about the emergence of a so
called "Fourth Reich. "
All these incidents point to a massive destabiliza
tion campaign targeting the Vatican in particular, and
wester Christian culture in general . The fact that , on
May 30, some 1 50, 000 people marched in Florence to
protest these outrages , was a hopeful indication that
the bestiality signaled by these terrorist incidents will
backfre. Of course, this is some 15 years overdue.
Fifteen years ago, the role of British Masonry and
its offshoots in fomenting right- and left-wing terrorist
4 National
groups , and in arranging a series of assassinations , was
well known to intelligence agncies in Italy, Germany,
and the United States-in no small measure due to the
work of EIR in exposing the matter.
This is a process begun in the 1 9th century, under
the leadership of Britain' s Lod Palmerston, who used
assets such as Giuseppe Mazini to destroy Italy, or at
least to control it . The Verailles Treaty, the post
World War II Yalta agreemnt , and the New Yalta
policies represented by the Thatcher-Gorbachov-Bush
troika, represent a continuation of these same policies
in this century. Anglo-American forces and their B' nai
B' rith allies , organized through freemasonic channels ,
are working to destroy nation such as Germany, Italy,
and Mexico.
Historically, Scottish Rite Frmasonry has been te
ideological center of the British imprial faction, which
itself was a offshot in the 17th century of a Venetia
grouping. The essence of the matter is the Venetia par
faction, or te imprial faction of Britain, as exemplifed
by Lord Palmerston and the rle of the British Grad
Lodge over such Eurpan lodges as the Grad Oent
and the B 'nai B'rith. This faction is determined to destoy
te nation-states of te world, ad to impose a new feuda
ism in te for of one-world goverment in its place.
Such a plan is utopia and cannot succeed, but it is none
theless extmely dagerous.
This faction is the global enemy which must b
destroyed if civilization is to be preserved. It is not that
they can win, but that all civilization may be destroyed,
as whole nations become bestialized on the model of
the Serbian monstrosity. A frst step, is to recognize
that terrorism is not a local occurence, but that it is
being directed by an interational cabal and must be
fought accordingly on an interational level .
The post-Versailles world order is rapidly crum
bling, and the situation is going out of control . The
Anglo-American "Venetians" of today are far weaker
than the British Empire was at the time of the American
Revolution. Their defeat is long overdue.
