Publisher's Synopsis
The level of changes that are taking place so quickly is almost breathtaking. We're three weeks now into a new administration, and as Mr. LaRouche had said after the election in November, this is clearly a global revolution, a global process. It wasn't something only occurring or developing in the United States. What I'd like to go through are a couple of key developments. There is so much taking place, and I want to review some of it, put an emphasis on it, and then capture what are the restrictions. - Why is Glass-Steagall not at the forefront of a policy discussion? - Why is the National Bank not yet at the forefront of a policy discussion in the United States? I think, as many of you in this room know, a big portion of this is on the level of an asymmetrical warfare on information-or really an attack on ideas and an attack on the human mind that has been taking place inside the mass media, so we'll get at that question, because it is a critical component of how we make this breakthrough and consolidate what's taking place. But before we do that, let's review the political situation. We'll start with this recent summit that President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Abe had, because this clearly indicated a completely new shift in the way the world is now beginning to interact-the way that major nations of this world are beginning to interact. To put a certain context to that, we recently discovered in our own Executive Intelligence Review magazine, an article from 1982 that situates this summit- that it was Prime Minister Abe's father who was then Minister of Trade for Japan, working with the same Mitsubishi Corporation that Lyndon LaRouche and this organization were collaborating with on a project in Thailand to build the Kra Canal. [Abe's father] was then going to go to Florida to discuss with the G-7 nations' trade ministers, a program for a $50 billion Global Infrastructure Fund. The projects on that list included: the Lake Chad project, which is now under discussion by China, the Kra Canal project, the Nicaragua Canal project, and the greening of the Sahara Desert. And they identified that the greatest risk to world peace was the economic deterioration and lack of development. Now, that was Prime Minister Abe's father. It's important to make that note, simply because it is Prime Minister Abe who over the last eleven months has had a series of discussions with President Putin, and the first one last year took place in May. This is important to note, because after Abe had announced that he was planning to travel to Russia, then-President Obama had attempted to weigh in on Prime Minister Abe, and told him, -Don't go; wait for the summit you and I are going to have soon there in Japan. Wait for that first. Let me tell you what I think about this summit with Putin, and then maybe you can go.- Abe said, -That's okay, I think I'll go.-
