August 1—On July 27, American statesman and economist Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. issued a dramatic warning that U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney intended to launch an unprovoked nuclear war against Iran during the month of August, under cover of a staged "new 911" against the U.S. Within 24 hours, the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) had saturated Washington D.C. and the U.S. Congress with the warning. Within 48 hours, a correspondent for LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review magazine had asked White House press spokesman Scott McClellan about

Cheney's plans against Iran. The exchange, in which McClellan essentially confirmed LaRouche's charge, was immediately—and repeatedly—broadcast worldwide on CNN's Headline News.

Meanwhile, LaRouche himself appeared on three radio shows to amplify his warnings, including a halfhour on talkSPORT, the United Kingdom's number one, and largest commercial radio station, as his movement began the urgent distribution of 250,000 flyers titled "Cheney's 'Guns of August' Threaten the World" in key centres across the U.S. Such an insane action by Cheney, LaRouche charged, would quickly lead to a planetwide nuclear war. As this New Citizen Extra went to print, LaRouche's exposure had set the plot back, but it is still very much alive.

The Context

Cheney is the real power in the administration of President George W. Bush, since Bush suffers severe mental impairment, as is well known in Washington and other world capitals. However the sociopath Cheney is himself merely the hired thug of powerful, New York and Londoncentred financial forces ("the Synarchy", pron. "Sin-ar-kee", see box p.3), who are driven to desperation by the disintegration of their international "globalist" monetary system.

As we detailed in our June, 2005, New Citizen Extra, "'Mother of All Bubbles' Exploding, Political Earthquakes Under Way", a near-term explosion of that financial system is inevitable, and, in fact, it has already begun. In June, the highly-leveraged, completely unregulated hedge funds, who command assets of somewhere between US$1-3 trillion dollars with an annual turnover in the quadrillions), lost tens of billions of dollars—enough to blow the entire system apart. Far fewer losses by the LTCM hedge fund in 1998 came within hair of crashing the world monetary system, as later admitted by U.S. Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan.

Given the present scale of losses, LaRouche warned, "Now, what will happen, very soon, will stagger your imagination. The world as you thought you knew it, the day before yesterday, is no longer the same world today."

Within days, on July 7 four bombs exploded in London, killing 56 people and injuring hundreds more. Under cover of "financial market instability" allegedly due to the bombings, the world's central banks, led by the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve, pumped tens of billions of dollars into the system as an emergency stopgap to cover the hedge fund losses. Within days, London-style bombings were unleashed in Cairo, in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, and in Turkey, ushering in a new worldwide terror wave, while four additional unexploded bombs were allegedly found on London buses by British authorities.

The London bombings were orchestrated by the City of London circles who own Tony Blair, and were to serve as the prelude for the "new 911" in the U.S., which in turn would be the trigger for Cheney' Iran strike, and the immediate establishment of dictatorships in the U.S., the U.K. and elsewhere,

undoubtedly including in Bush/Blair ally John Howard's Australia, in order to control the population in the worst financial crash in history.
