With great fanfare, world leaders convened in Washington over the past weekend to discuss the global financial crisis and debate proposals and solutions.
To our great surprise, nothing that was said or agreed at that conference is going to make the slightest difference to the breakdown of the financial system and the physical economic collapse that will follow in its wake, hitting us all like a tsunami in the coming months.
Tonight at 6pm, US Economist and Statesman, Lyndon LaRouche Jnr, who forecast this crisis over 30 years ago and has consistently warned the world about a descent into fascism if the policies of the international financial oligarchy were not reversed, will hold an international webcast from Washington DC to discuss the current state of affairs, and what must be done by governments internationally if civilisation is to survive.
Our readers are urged to tune into this event and participate in the Q&A session that will follow his opening remarks.

I’m going to watch – thanks for the heads up John.
I’ll have to stop listening to Alex Jones live and Gary ‘The Spaceman’ Bell as an mp3.
Multi tasking is the order of the day when all that matters is The Truth.
Thank you and God Bless.
Obama – Beware of Elites’ bearing Gifts, by Richard K. Moore
The McCain-Palin dragon has been slain. The Heroic Knight has been crowned and an era of profound hope has descended on the Kingdom. I know this is true because all my friends tell me so. There can be no doubt of the immense and genuine popularity of our new President-elect. Not even JFK inspired as much hope and devotion in his followers, nor was his following as universal.

This really is a MUST watch for everyone at this time if we are going to understand the scale of the crisis we are in, the solutions available, and what we must do to pressure our government to insist they take these measures whether they like it or not.
It was truly excellant John. Thanks for pointing this out.
I enjoyed what I watched of the webcast but sadly it went down 2/3 of the way through. I might watch it from the archives.
I’m always disappointed when, having been inspired by Lyndon, he always goes on to promote nuclear power…..I have to disagree with him there.
To me, nuclear power simply means ££££profits for the same ‘ptb’ and considerable stress generated by the controversial and highly dangerous waste that nuclear creates that no one wants on or even under their patch…..and having listened to numerous ‘experts’ on energy generation over the years, nuclear is the most expensive method of generating electricity and needs massive subsidies – of course and as usual….we always end up paying twice….sigh.
Nuclear is NOT the way forward imho.
Of course, there are forces who won’t allow what’s best for humanity – only what’s best for themselves.
Thanks again for posting John.

Appreciate the f/b and I am well aware that the nuclear issue is a hot button issue. However, it is for this specific reason that Lyn picks his fights on these areas. Why do you think it is that the environmentalist movement – setup, funded and supported by the highest levels of the establishment – has consistently attacked, villified and sabotaged nuclear power since the 1960s?
Nuclear science is the apotheosis of the current level of mankind’s physical economic competence, and there are very good reasons from a social and economic perspective why civilisation must always move forward and adopt technologies commensurate with the highest available scientific principles in order to create the economic conditions for future generations to benefit.
We must REJECT the sustainability idea entirely, and think 1-2 generations AHEAD of where we are today in order to ensure the survival and prosperity of future generations, rather than obsessing about making life comfortable for ourselves here today.
There is a lot to be said on both sides of the technical argument about nuclear vs tidal or other sources of power, but this fundamental principle of economic science is the key issue which subsumes the rest.
As a follow up to my last post, suggest all watch the following:

Wall Street and Washington conspired to defraud Japanese banks, by Wayne Madsen
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=11042
“…Chinese and Japanese intelligence agencies that look closely at financial malfeasance are alarmed that the Salomon division of Citigroup has managed to take over all of Lehman Brothers’ viable assets, leaving the U.S. bankruptcy court holding the debt of the failed securities firm. Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. Lehman had borrowed billions from two Japanese banks — Nomura and Sumitomo Mitsui — to stay afloat. Our Asian intelligence sources report that the Salomon division of Citigroup engaged in a massive fraud scheme with the connivance of the Treasury Department of Henry Paulson and the Federal Reserve Bank of Ben Shalom Bernanke.”
I appreciate what you’re saying John and agree completely with the over-used fraud of ’sustainability’ which means more profits for the rich, genocide as part of ‘their’ agenda and the continued slavery – physical for some and financial for all – ad nauseum into the future.
I’m a great fan of the ‘electric sun/universe’ theory which can be found here:
http://www.thunderbolts.info/home.htm
There’s a video you might like to watch called: Thunderbolts of the Gods which should be available from that website or it’s hopefully still available on google or youtube video….
With an ‘electric sun’ model, rather than a nuclear one, we might change our ways and stop believing that nuclear is the only way….
As a child, growing up watching “All our Yesterday’s” in the wake of World War II, I always believed that life for everyone could and would only get better. Whilst some of us are very lucky and have a relatively ‘good’ way of life, there are always those predators who wish to take away everything humanity has and make us live like ‘the goyim’ they believe we are. As you probably realise, these are the ‘people’ who have seized control of the entire world through the money supply which gives them the power to control everything and everyone.
Whilst this satanic/materialistic mindset remains at the helm, life on Earth is going to remain a struggle for too many people, complete misery for many and a binge on booze, cocain, women/men (whatever is their fancy) and a constant round of financial windfalls for ‘the elite’, built upon the dead bodies of millions who couldn’t see the scam that has been perpetrated upon the entire planet for far too long.
Sorry, I digress, as usual!
I love to listen to Lyndon and will continue to do so. However, I still don’t share his enthusiasm for nuclear power but hope that many more ‘get’ the scam of man-made global warming so that we can actually confront our collective future with common sense, compassion, hope, love, peace and above all….TRUTH.
This kind of future is entirely possible if we all live and believe these attributes which were, after all, what Jesus Christ came to tell us to do…..
Humanity isn’t really ‘going’ anywhere – WE’VE ALREADY ARRIVED!
We just have to take back our collective futures and live the kind of lives most ‘right-thinking’ people wish to see their children inherit.

If you watch the video I posted, and think seriously about the implications of it, you will be forced to confront the fact that while all these theories and propositions about “alternative energies” is all well and good, we really are in the midst of a power generation EMERGENCY.
If we do not IMMEDIATELY begin constructing a new generation of very high intensity power generating capability, this nation, and many others besides are doomed to an early dark age.
This is because we tend to think in financial, rather than physical economic cycles, and a great portion of our existing power generation capacity is about to go offline, and the lights quite literally going to go out over the next 5-10 years (assuming we make it that far under current policies).
As such, there is no other immediately viable large scale power generating technology to replace what we are already about to lose, and so with all due respect, I have to say that anything less than an absolute commitment to commercial Nuclear Power in the UK is a pipe dream and a literal death sentence for this country, however we may or may not like to deal with that fact.
Just in case there are those here who still doubt that man-made global warming is an utter scam, here’s all the evidence you need: who, when & why:
Who: Club of Rome,
When: beginnng 1970’s
Why: in their own words:
“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.” from ‘the First Global Revolution’ by the Club of Rome, 1991 Pantheon Books

As with Leo Strauss, the need to create external enemies to galvanise public support for otherwise unpopular agendas is emphasised by these people whose ranks include:
Bill Gates
Jimmy Carter
Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands
Mikhael Gorbachev
Henry Kissinger
and . . . . . .
Al Gore

“We came up with the idea’! Sometimes they just can’t keep their big mouths shut.
John Morton is right on nuclear power stations – whether we like them or not, sadly.
Whilst wave and solar may well have their places (and we must exclude the monstrous, inefficient, costly, wasteful, intrusive, uneconomical,corruptly financed WIND TURBINES)
I fear we have no real alternative, particularly bearing in mind John’s statement that we will, indeed, have our lights turned off, much sooner than we think, if we don’t do SOMETHING now.
Our loony left government and their comrades, the imcompetent right, have dropped us in it, so to speak. They couldn’t organise a party at a brewery ! Would you give any one of them a proper job ? Of course not. So, we must get out of the EU, who want to shut down our coal-fired power stations, and get going on saving our energy for the near future, as a start.
The UKIP has done a video about it. If you like horror films you should find it a bit of a thriller.

I actually met my MP a couple of weeks ago, and he promised he would go and sort it out. Shortly after that, a piece in The Mail said a group of cross party MPs met and were discussing it. It was quoted as one of them saying he though the energy companies are operating a cartel. He was also instrumental in getting Brown to reconsider nuclear power, but has been getting a lot of stick from the local green loonies and Libdem opposition. All the best people get the fiercest attacks, but he’s used to it. Time is running out before the lights start going out.
Hi All.
I am wondering at what point did the dark age really begin and is this not the conclusion of a dark age started so long ago:
Benjamin Franklin.
The Royal Society was formed from a group of esoteric Initiates called the Lunar Society, named so due to the fact they met on the full moon. Its members include:
Benjamin Franklin High level Mason and Rosicrucian
Erasmus Darwin grandfather to Charles, and the real writer of natural selection doctrine in a book: Zoonomia.1794
Josiah Wedgwood Wedgewood Pottery Empire
The daughter of Wedgwood married the son of Erasmus, Robert and Charles was thus born. This bloodline also gave birth to Thomas Malthus, the Anglican madman who demanded all poor people exist in poverty and genocide against such people should be encouraged to retain the purity of the master race.
The economist John Maynard Keynes thought Malthus a genius along with Darwin they saw Malthus as a genius of logic.
The Lunar Society’s aim was to destroy the idea of God, which was continuing the work of Jesuit trained Frenchman Rene Descartes born 1596; his books were banned by the Church, so we can see the Jesuits are not men of God but men of Jesus, which suggests a major difference between the two. Isaac Newton would continue the views of Descartes in destroying the idea of God to be replaced by the Babylonian Alchemy. So we can see Christianity being destroyed from within. We are talking Humanism here.
Benjamin Franklin is said to be the Henry Kissinger of his day, and working to the idea brought forward by Francis Bacon in his work, The New Atlantis published in 1607, which describes how the ‘invisible college’ of elite intellectuals dictate events from the shadows, Freemasonry as a division of the Jesuits was formed to carry out this doctrine, to protect and instil the bloodlines be they legitimate or the many illegitimate men into the seats of power on behalf of this secret or shadow government. This enabled the covert ruling elite to take over the American continent; this was accomplished in what is known as the, ‘American war of Independence’.
So Benjamin Franklin operating for the Inner City elite and British Intelligence was tasked with this covert installation of the ‘Invisible College’ through the secret society networks. Benjamin Franklin had a newspaper named, Pennsylvania Gazette, and on December 8 1730 he wrote the first American article on Freemasonry.
He officially became a Freemason on February 1731, and was made Provincial Grand Master of Pennsylvania in 1743. In the same year he printed the first Masonic book in the US, and the first recorded lodge was founded in his Province of Philadelphia, the very place the war of independence would be created and coordinated from. Franklin was also said to be a leading Rosicrucian which is a very high level operation controlling many secret society networks, the over soul if you will and a very ancient society. We can begin to see the contradiction in these founding fathers with Thomas Jefferson writing, ‘All men are created equal’ while owning over 200 black slaves and writing that black people are genetically and intellectually inferior to whites. Franklin also talked of freedom while owning slaves so we are seeing real and profound contradiction in these men’s characters, without speculating.
Benjamin Franklin was also a member of the French Masonic networks including the Nine Sisters and the San Juan Lodges, both these lodges known to be heavily involved in the Freemasonic French Revolution in 1789.
Franklin was a High Initiate of the exclusive Royal Lodge of Commanders of the temple West of Carcassonne, and a member of the Hellfire Club, with yet another famous player Sir Frances Dashwood, British Chancellor of the Exchequer. Dashwood was a member of many esoteric groups including the Templar Druid Universal Bond to which the highly influential Knights of Malta family the Welds have big ties.
Dashwood built a cave on his estate, and I can vouch for this, caves are used for satanic ritual, we have one near me in the Freemasonic area, you will note another sign of freemason hold ups, they have their own wind turbines so when they power goes off they carry on as normal. Another member of the Hellfire Club at this time was, Frederick the Prince of Wales.
In 1998 excavations under Franklin’s former home at 36 craven Street close to Trafalgar Square, London, found the remains of ten bodies, six of which were children, they have been dated to the time Franklin lived there, they have created a cover by claiming his friend must have been a grave robber, but given the membership of the highly satanic Hellfire Club, I would beg to differ.
Now Because of Franklin’s French connection we can better understand why Lafayette and many French revolutionaries and masons would take part in the American War of Independence, and more the German Freemason Baron von Streube, who also swerved in the army of Frederick of Prussia.
Now the interesting thing here is the amount of Freemasons involved on both sides in this war:
George Washington
Lord Geoffrey Amherst Commander in Chief of the British forces in the War of Independence
Lionel Sackville first Duke of Dorset close friend of the Duke of Wharton both became Knights of the garter 1741. Sackville founded the Grand Orient network of freemasonry in Italy which worked closely with the Carbonari and the Alta Vendita. Sackville also formed a Lodge in Florence, Italy in 1733, and co founded the Dilettanti Society with Dashwood. So we can see these chaps were seriously into Freemasonry.
We then have Sackville’s younger brother George who became Colonel of the 20th foot regiment, later the Lancashire Fusiliers and master of the field Lodge. One of the wardens at this lodge was Lieutenant Colonel Edward Cornwallis, whose twin brother was the Archbishop of Canterbury, and was made Governor of Nova Scotia in 1750, creating a lodge there.
George Sackville became Grand master of the Irish grand Lodge, with yet another surprising twist to the tale, because it is not the Scottish grand lodge to which all field lodges affiliate with, but the Irish grand Lodge, how many of you knew this fact. In 1775 as the war was hotting up, George Sackville close friend to King George III, was appointed Colonial secretary in charge of the American Colonies. Remember here people, this is the very network to which Benjamin Franklin was closely connected, and the means to ensure the elite always control both sides in all conflicts, it is accomplished through secret society connections and is thus a secret, but more importantly not a part of historical fact, thus never included in the historical accounts, at least those given to the mainstream. In the years leading up to 1776, Franklin spent the summer at Dashwood’s estate, so one can imagine what they got up to. When it comes to the Hellfire Club, what is found on the premises is a statue of Harpocrates, the Greek god of secrecy and silence, so we can deduce from this that what this club was about was a guarded secret, rather successfully until these times as the curtain lifts on the satanic world which has governed and led men all these millennia.
The game now moves into the French Revolution with the same names and networks operating behind the scenes, but that is another story all together….
Greetings John Morton,
I very much appreciated your UK Column on A New Bretton Woods or A New Dark Age? It is very refreshing to see the truth being told in some of the British media. As an American of French Canadian origin, I am very much acquainted with the British methods of colonization and I thought I might take this opportunity to remind your audience of three things that Lyndon LaRouche has been emphasizing, but that your UK viewers have failed to report back with their comments after watching his webcast.
The first is that the British-Dutch Liberal Monetary System is dead and no amount of money injected into that dead system could bring it alive again. It is too late and this is why the G-20 Summit of Washington D.C. on November 15 was a pure farce and a waste of time. Nobody had the courage to say that the system was dead. So, back to the drawing board.
The second point is the fact that this New Bretton Woods will be a return to the Roosevelt intention to get rid of “British nineteenth century methods” of colonizing the world, which is what globalization has been since the death of Roosevelt in 1944 and most offensively since the end of the original Bretton Woods in 1971. So, the new policy will be a return to Roosevelt, not to Keynes.
The third point is that this New Bretton Woods arrangement is aimed at putting the current monetary system into bankruptcy reorganization and at replacing it by the Constitutional American Credit System. This must be organized primarily with an alliance between the United States, Russia, China, and India. Other nations will also be invited to join the Big Four Credit System, but as secondary participants.
So, the issue that LaRouche is now currently discussing with leaders around the world is what was the nature of the disease that killed the monetary system, and how do you burry that system so that you have the least amount of people suffering around the world. The time has come to stop putting the people at the service of the banks, and put the banks at the service of the people.
Pierre Beaudry, LaRouche associate. [pierrebeaudry@larouchepub.com]
Mr Beaudry –
While I admire your optimism, the idea that those who brought about the current disaster are remotely interested in bringing about a situation where we “have the least amount of people suffering around the world” runs against the course of history.
I say this as someone who more than two years ago was telling ordinary Americans that their currency and economy would be deliberately destroyed. Those who heartily scoffed then would still rather believe such accurate predictions are the result of guesswork or luck. They aren’t.
For over 100 years now we have been constantly told the exact nature of the overall agenda. It’s quite simple: World Government. From H.G. Wells to Bertrand Russell to David Rockefeller the methodology is both consistent and straightforward: use crises to effect changes that the ordinary citizen would never otherwise accept. Undermine sovereignty, create large trading blocks, merge economies etc.
The ‘disease’ that killed the monetary system came from the top down, was long-planned and has always been hidden in plain sight – an ‘Open Conspiracy’, to quote Wells. Given this obvious truth, how do you see any chance of the banks acting in the service of the people? I see only further consolidation by the private international banking dynasties at the expense of the people. What on Earth would change that?
Mon cher frank verismo,
You are not getting it. The game is over, dead, finished. This is not an American problem; this is the last hour of the British free trade system. The issue is YOUR FREE TRADE SYSTEM HAS JUST DIED and the question is what are you going to do to clean up this mess? How are you going to bury it? What are you going to replace it with?
Pierre Beaudry
DEATH OF FREE MARKET CAPITALISM?
What free market? Capitalism is an easy mark to see – it’s everywhere destroying all that it eats in its’ insatiable hunger to be more.
The humans who have caused this poisonous affect on earth that has now effected a change in world government – do not have a creative brain cell working, else this dead horse of a plan would not be beaten again and again.
But, according to some scholars these “special” people have ideas about being more special and those who do not get the idea of being special with the special, are just that.
Not special.
What do the not special do since the special intend to use the not special as the martyr’s cause for the full spectrum dominant destruction of the planet and all modern systems of civilization – if they can get away with it.
It is a problem we must all solve, we the non special. There is more than one problem so that means multiple solutions.
The brain is goal seeking and problem solving.
Let us write down the problems, every one — and especially attach each criminal human to the special problem that particular special person caused our species’ home, environment, LIFE.
No special universal law gave any human earth tribe a special mandate to disrespect life.
Therefore, those with bleeding brain synapses who harnessed technology as though it’s their god to make dumb accepting tribal humans create Pyramids for THEM to live eternally forever and ever …
What is wrong with this picture?
Mon Cher frank verismo,
Here is what I wanted to add to my comment of yesterday.
It does not matter whose conspiracy this was, or whose fault it is, even though you are right about H. G. Wells and company. The issue is not to look for someone to blame. It’s too late for that, and that never works anyways. The issue is that the free trade system has to be replaced by something else, and quick, because it is dead, but not yet buried. Of course the bankers will try to consolidate, but the more they try, the more they will sink. It’s the old quicksand paradox. If you say there is nothing you can do, then, you are going to go down with them. Is that what you want?
The system has blown with about $1.4 quadrillion of derivative fake obligations. That is why the whole mess is coming down. The only solution is to put the whole system into bankruptcy reorganization, like LaRouche proposed. But, to do that you need to break with the central command of globalization, which is in London, and create a strategic alliance between the American system and Russia to establish a new just world economic order between the United States, Russia, China, and India. That is the only kind of power-alliance that will break the back of the enemy: A Roosevelt type New Bretton Woods.
This is what Lyndon LaRouche was organizing in India for the past two weeks, putting together the Four-Power nucleus to change the world. However, The US is in a crisis and Obama has not yet showed that he is competent to be a President of the United States, Russia is going through an existential crisis, China is currently collapsing, and only India is in a relatively safe position because of its low dependency on exports. So, you see, the collapsing system is coming down fast for the great majority of the world population.
The problem cannot be solved from the bottom up, as you say, but only from the top down. So, who, in England, will be the undertaker willing to put this British free trade monetary system to rest, and who might also be willing to start thinking about the alternative American credit system? I refuse to believe that the British people are too blind to see that their monetary system is gone, forever. A lot of people don’t want to believe it, but it is the truth. It is gone and will never come back. It is just a matter of time before you realize it. However, the problem is there is no more time.
So now, even the unthinkable, like changing this monetary system, has become possible. That is the way history works. If you are serious about changing history, because it can be changed, remember what my good friend Francois Rabelais used to say: “History leads the willing; the unwilling drags.” However, you want to target the enemy with surgical precision.
So, the precise targets to go after are George Sorros and his boss, Malloch-Brown. They are the two current British intelligence operatives who are responsible for running, among other things, drug operations in the Americas, and they have been funding the incoming Obama presidency in the United States. So, as they say in the diplomatic corridors of Washington: “If it is brown, flush it!”
If you put the spotlight on those two creatures in London like we are doing in Washington, then, you might get somewhere. Why? Because the control of the Obama presidency is going to be the key to creating the political alliance of the new Four-Power Credit System, the New Bretton Woods. However, what I fear is that Anglo-Saudi-MI6 operations, like the Mumbai atrocities of last week, will escalate against the Four-Power Nucleus in the weeks to come. Hang on to your seat, a much bigger crash in coming soon.
So, my question is still on the table: what are you going to do to replace this DEAD FREE TRADE SYSTEM?
Pierre Beaudry
