City of London Mouthpiece Demands Dems Fall on Swords For Nazicare Bill

March 16, 2010 (LPAC)—The lead editorial in yesterday's Financial Times of the City of London is blunt, headlined: "The Democrats' Healthcare Choice; Passing Reform Will Cost Some of them Their Seats. So Be It." It reviews the status of the bill, and notes: "The fact is that for some of the Democrats whose votes will be needed, supporting this measure will indeed mean losing in November. That is a lot to ask of any politician. But, remembering what is at stake, not too much." At least, what is at stake for the British Empire...

Exactly what the Congressmen are being "asked" to fall on their swords for is still unknown. As Nancy Pelosi told the conference of county officials in Washington last week, "We have to pass the legislation so you can see what's in it."

What is happening with the formal legislative process is beyond byzantine.

A "phantom" "reconciliation bill" was posted on the House Budget Committee website on the night of March 14. The Hill says that the 2,309-page posting is simply a bill that had been previously recommended to the Education and Labor Committee and Ways and Means Committee last year. What is posted online does not include the substantive changes to the Senate health-care bill that House Democrats will seek. Those changes will be offered during the markups in the Rules committees, which the budget panel hopes to begin on Wednesday afternoon.

The shell bill was passed 21-16 by the Budget Committee. Two Democrats, Chet Edwards of Texas and Allen Boyd of Florida, joined with the Republicans to vote "no." Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) blasted the entire procedure, calling it an "extraordinary and unprecedented abuse of the reconciliation process," and "a Trojan horse," because it will be discarded in the Rules Committee and replaced by the real bill—whatever that is.

All of this show is doesn't address the reality of the situation. What is shaping history is not a fight over healthcare; nor would any of the vast majority of the population now be convinced that is the case. Already 63-70% of the U.S. population is ready to demand the removal of all incumbents in congress. As LaRouche said at his "Ides of March" webcast on Saturday, "The American people have gone through an evolution of hatred against the members of Congress, and their President, since this President was inaugurated. It was a conversion to hatred, against their own President, but against their Congressmen, who betrayed them. The President didn't betray them—he was an enemy; you respected him, as an enemy. He came in from outside; we don't know where he came from. But the guy whom we elected, the guy we thought was our friend, was thought our representative, betrayed us! That's the guy the people hate! Not the guy who came in like an enemy from the outside, but the guy in our own ranks who betrayed the family, who betrayed the nation: and the hatred's against them."

The hand of history is already moving that would-be Belshazzar Obama out of office, in a process elaborated by LaRouche on Saturday. And the removal of Obama is the key issue. As LaRouche said, "under the right leadership and encouragement; with what we have now, the residue of government, after getting rid of this garbage, out of the Congress, out of the administration, we can rebuild this nation!"
