LaRouche: British Empire’s “Bail-In” Is Driving Thermonuclear World War III
“The President of the United States is now toying with a thermonuclear war, involving the United States and others against Russia and China,” Lyndon LaRouche charged on April 4. “And therefore, the President of the United States must be impeached for that reason.”
Obama is nothing but a puppet of the British Queen and the financial empire she represents, which is hellbent on forcing the major powers of Eurasia to submit—as Europe has—to being looted into extinction, or face a thermonuclear confrontation, of the sort they are now trying to orchestrate off the Ukraine crisis that they created in the first place.
The driving force behind this war drive, LaRouche has explained repeatedly, is the collapse of the entire trans-Atlantic financial system, accelerated by the decision to shift into the “bail-in” approach to global banking reorganization.
LaRouche has likened this current “bail-in” stage, to the free-fall of an elevator from the 70th floor of a skyscraper. “The cable has already been cut,” LaRouche stated.
In a discussion on April 5, LaRouche elaborated: “You can use a very simple rule of thumb: Take the inflation which has occurred, that is the growth of Wall Street’s speculation since Bill Clinton left office. Take the entire accounts of the United States, since Bill Clinton left office as President. Now, everything that has increased in terms of Wall Street, is fake.
“Therefore, when the bail-in starts—and remember, there was never any real net growth, in the physical economy of the United States, actually not since Bill Clinton, but also even earlier. The downturn in the United States, in terms of the productive powers of labor, began essentially with the opening of the war in Indo- China. It collapsed at that point. Since that time, the United States has had no actual net gain, in physical-economic productivity.
“Now, look at the figures then, look at the ratios: That is the ratio, on the upscale (ascending) bail-out. All the bail-out goes from that level, actually. Now, when bail-in comes in, what you do, is you actually collapse all the nominal value which is involved in the bail-out system. And it comes down at a hyper-accelerated rate. That’s what the key is to understanding this issue. Once it starts, on the bail-in process, as London has understood it, the rate of acceleration of collapse is inevitable.
“So if the British cannot pull off a successful war operation, a military operation, against the planet, they are screwed. And that’s what the issue is: That’s what the war is all about.
“See, if the British came out—tattered and battered and so forth—out of the crash, during a war period, they don’t owe anything! What kills them is the debts they owe! The only way they can cancel the debts they owe, now, under bail-in conditions, is by going to war! And it is the British Empire, not anybody else, who is starting this war.”
LaRouche’s “Typical Collapse Function” pedagogical graph provides the best tool for understanding the process now underway. Since the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the launching of the Vietnam war, the rate of growth of the U.S. physical economy has been negative. Against that, a hyperbolically rising growth of total financial aggregates (such as derivatives) was buttressed by growing monetary assets. During this phase of the growth of the speculative financial bubble, at a certain point the rate of growth of monetary aggregates had to exceed the growth rate of the financial assets, just to keep that asset bubble from bursting—a policy sometimes known as “bail out” or “quantitative easing.”
With the shift to the British Empire’s attempted “bail-in” policy, a process of uncontrolled implosion of financial aggregates has been unleashed — like the free-fall of an elevator from the 70th floor of a building. And Wall Street and the City of London are so bankrupt and so desperate, that they have begun to market what they themselves call “bail-in bonds” — bonds that will be rendered worthless at the point of a bail-in. That’s like buying and selling seats on an elevator in free-fall — with the notion of somehow being able to jump off safely at the tenth floor.
What are the magnitudes involved in the imploding speculative bubble? In 1999, at the point that Glass-Steagall was repealed in favor of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Lewinsky bill, estimated total financial aggregates worldwide stood at only $275 trillion. Today, that bubble has grown hyperbolically to about $1.7 quadrillion—a sextupling in 14 years! As a result of the British Empire’s bail-in policy, you can expect about $1.5 quadrillion in worthless financial assets to go up in smoke.
That is the driving force for thermonuclear war. And that is why Obama must be immediately impeached, and FDR’s Glass-Steagall law reinstated.
