[P2P-F] Fwd: The Modern Anglo-Dutch Empire

[Michel Bauwens]

confirmed, this is even a official larouchian pamphlet ..

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movement for the basic info,

I encountered them in early 80s when they would still physically attack
progressive gatherings ..

more opinionated than the wikipedia, is this cultsite,
http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1001&Itemid=14..,
it writes ..

"LaRouche is one of those political trippers that has managed to take the
bend all the way around from the Far Left to the Far Right, without breaking
his neck. "

a bit on their views:

LaRouche's main thesis is that the 'Anglo-American cabal,' which involves
George Bush, the English monarchy, and some other ingredients, has decided
to undertake a programme of genocidal IMF/World Bank-financed
de-industrialization to deplete the population of the Third World. The
cabal's plan includes "narcotrafficking"; environmental policies to prevent
those countries from developing economically; 'Malthusian' population
policies which incorporate birth control, abortion, and allowing disease and
hunger free rein; profiteering through 'neo-colonial' resource control; the
"lab-created" AIDs virus; and promotion of 'antifamily' ideals such as
feminism, homosexuality, Satanism, and "the sex-drugs-rock and roll
counterculture." This conspiracy theory, needless to say, is a grab bag of
far right and far left nut worries. LaRouche believes that only massive
industrial projects - nuclear power, huge irrigation canals dug with atomic
bombs (!) in the Middle East, and similar high-tech developments - can free
the Third World from the sinister grasp of the oligarchs' cabal.
LaRouche has other windmills to tilt his lance at. For one thing, he wants
to move toward a "Hamiltonian" economic model, which is neither
laissez-faire nor communist. (Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson argued
over the future economic shape of America. Jefferson saw a land of small,
dispersed planters, farmers, and "Virginia gentlemen." Hamilton thought
America would develop through a strong Central Bank which financed
industrial development and fostered growth of urban centres, not rural
farmers. Hamilton was right on one score - "Jeffersonian" democracy meant
slavery for another 100 years.) In his "Science of Christian Economy,"
LaRouche blames a lot of modern problems on *usury*, the lending of money at
excessive interest. LaRouche also blames much of our 'cultural' breakdown on
a move away from classicism in the arts - particularly the well-honed
musical scale, Schiller's great poetry, and Renaissance naturalism in
painting. Ever the Neo-Platonist, LaRouche lambasts the "Aristotelian"
thinking which he sees behind our legal and other institutions. LaRouche's
plan to 'reclassicize' our lives includes a whole new way of envisioning

this seems like an original book, judging from the preface alone,

I wonder if anyone is familiar with this history of the struggle against
'empire' ?

One caveat though, it has a reference to LaRouche in the preface, and it you
know anything about this extreme righ-wing cult, this should let the alarm
bells ringing,

I'm not at all familiar with the charge that Soros was responsible for
stripping the jews in budapest of their possessions, that just doesn't ring
true to me?
