LaRouche's pre-9/11 Warning

Given the hysteria and fear-mongering that the Bush Administration, and its supporters are engaged in around the 9/11 anniversary, largely as a desperate pre-election ploy, it's worth noting the warning that Lyndon LaRouche issued 8 months before 9/11 about the nature of the then-incoming regime.

LaRouche focused on the nomination of John Ashcroft to be attorney general, not so much because of the particularities of the Confederate flag-loving Ashcroft, but because of what his nomination indicated about how the Bush regime would respond to a crisis, and the underlying crisis was, and still is, the disintegration of the global financial system, similar, though different in magnitude, to what was happening in the 1930's.

Here is what LaRouche said, on Jan. 3, 2001:
"First of all, when Bush put Ashcroft in, as a nomination for the Justice Department, he made it clear, the Ku Klux Klan was riding again. That's clear. Now, maybe Bush didn't know what he was doing. But somebody in the Bush team did. And a lot of them had the voice to say something about it. Ashcroft was an insult to the Congress. If the Democrats in the Congress, capitulate to the Ashcroft nomination, the Congress is finished..."

A special comment on 9/11

The only positive on 9/11 and the days and weeks that so slowly and painfully followed it was the unanimous humanity, here, and throughout the country. The government, the President in particular, was given every possible measure of support.

Those who did not belong to his party—tabled that.

Those who doubted the mechanics of his election—ignored that.

Those who wondered of his qualifications—forgot that.

History teaches us that nearly unanimous support of a government cannot be taken away from that government by its critics.

It can only be squandered by those who use it not to heal a nation’s wounds, but to take political advantage.

Terrorists did not come and steal our newly-regained sense of being American first, and political, fiftieth. Nor did the Democrats. Nor did the media. Nor did the people.

The President—and those around him—did that.

They promised bi-partisanship, and then showed that to them, “bi-partisanship” meant that their party would rule and the rest would have to follow, or be branded, with ever-escalating hysteria, as morally or intellectually confused; as appeasers; as those who, in the Vice President’s words yesterday, “validate the strategy of the terrorists.”

They promised protection, and then showed that to them “protection” meant going to war against a despot whose hand they had once shaken, a despot who we now learn from our own Senate Intelligence Committee hated Al-Qaeda as much as we did.

The polite phrase for how so many of us were duped into supporting a war, on the false premise that it had ‘something to do’ with 9/11, is “lying by implication.”

The impolite phrase is: "impeachable offense."
