November 1—The British
Empire still exists. British
gunboats no longer police
the oceans to enforce “free
trade” looting, but that empire
rules more of the globe than
ever, sailing under such flags
as “globalisation”, “manmade
climate change”, and “European
Unity”, among others. In
his October 10, 2007 webcast
(pp. 5-6), American statesman
Lyndon H. LaRouche delivered
a powerful call to arms against
the British assault upon America
and upon the world, but the
British themselves have trumpeted
their resurgent imperial
power, as in two recent articles
in the City of London’s
flagship Economist magazine,
“Britannia Redux” (February
1, 2007) and “The European
Union: Europe’s mid-life crisis”
(March 17, 2007).
Britain has increasingly
shaped the world, bragged the
former article, through “deindustrialisation”,
through British
control of “aid for Africa”
(and its immense raw materials
reserves), of the “debate
on climate change” (whose
aim is deindustrialisation), of
the process of “European enlargement”
(the ever-expanding,
British-shaped European
Union), and through the global
imposition of free trade, all
coordinated out of the City of
London, “the world’s most important
international financial
centre.” They might have added
that most of the 9,000 hedge
funds which have been buying
up and destroying the world’s
agriculture and industry, are
based in Her Majesty’s Cayman
Islands.
Bespeaking these British imperial
aims, a futurologist article
in the Economist’s March
17 issue, “The European Union
at 100”, forecast a British-led
EU vanquishing both the U.S.
and Russia, following a U.S. financial
collapse and an EU-instigated
U.S./Russian nuclear confrontation
over Ukraine.
The nation of America
emerged during 1776-1783 in
a war against the mightiest empire
the world had ever seen. In
the following years our own nation
was peopled by boatloads of
pro-American political prisoners
whom the British shipped out
here to rid their isles of the virus
of republicanism. Now, America,
Australia and the world at large
will only surmount the present,
existential global financial crisis
by calling upon the ideals which
inspired the founding of America
as a “beacon of hope” and a
“temple of liberty” for the entire
world. These are not solely
“American” ideals, but exemplify
the hopes and aspirations
of all of mankind, excepting
imperialists and their lackeys.
Once championed by Franklin,
Washington, Hamilton, Lincoln
and Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
they are embodied today in the
person and leadership of Lyndon
LaRouche.
This issue of the New Citizen
is dedicated to exposing
and combatting some of Britain’s
imperial schemes in their
various guises, and to reviving
among us those noble passions
which animated “old Labor”
and the best of our statesmen,
in contrast to such pathetic
British imperial puppets as
Howard and Rudd. In particular,
we call your attention to the
“Mission Statement” issued by
the LaRouche Youth Movement
(p.7), which movement is rallying
the youth of Australia for a
new renaissance, so that we can
finally get the bloody British financiers
off our backs and secure
republican sovereignty for
our nation.
