Another Count of Impeachment Has Just Come Up Today

April 6, 2010 (LPAC)-- Beyond the fact that he has just jammed through a Hitlerian genocide program against the U.S. population with his so-called health-care reform; beyond even the fact that he has sent U.S. troops to fight in Afghanistan while supporting their battlefield enemies by protecting the Afghan drug trade, beyond all that: Barack Obama is impeachable as well, for joining with the British Empire in an opium war which is destroying civilization.

Under British sponsorship and protection, Afghan opium production has risen to about 8,000 tons per year, DOUBLE the entire estimated WORLD production of 4,000 tons in 1989. It is illustrative that all the growth in Afghan production has been in Helmand province, all under the noses of British troops stationed there from 2001-2010. During that period, Afghan opium production moved partly or completely out of all other Afghan areas into Helmand, at the same time as total Afghan production mushroomed.

By now, Afghanistan's production, which is 90% of all world production, amounts to fully 160% of estimated total world consumption, which is estimated at only 5,000 tons per year. As the unrefined product floods across the border into Iran, it is now widely estimated that fully 20% of Iran's population have become opium addicts.

Because of the longer distances involved in the smuggling routes which cross Russia, it is the refined product, heroin, which is smuggled out via Russia, while the less refined, weightier opium is smuggled through Iran. Now even before the latest wave of narcotics-fueled international terrorism hit Russia with the Moscow subway bombings, Russia was already fighting an existential battle against heroin addiction.

This is behind Russia's repeated appeals, during March, for international cooperation, especially with the U.S. and NATO, against the Afghan drug plague. Each was humiliatingly rejected by the British and their puppet Obama. Obama's State Department turned Russia down on March 1, eliciting a biting reply from the Russian Foreign Ministry. When Russia's drug tsar Viktor Ivanov convened officials from 30 nations for a March 15 meeting in Kabul, a British NATO representative snidely told him that it was up to the Afghans to decide how to deal with the opium!

Finally, the NATO-Russia Council held a special meeting March 24 to hear Ivanov present Russia's proposal, only to turn it down once again. NATO Secretary-General Fogh Rasmussen told the Russians that there were other things they could do against the Afghan drugs; presumably to give NATO helicopters and other goodies which they have been asking from Russia.

But, as LaRouche pointed out, "They were not going to stop the drug-trafficking anyway. The best thing we do is pull out! The first thing to do is pull out absolutely, and say, well, the Brits won't behave themselves, so we're pulling out! We're pulling out, and we will exert sanctions against the drug-trafficking from that area. We'll join with Russia in actions of sanctioning that attitude by the British. And say: until the British change their attitude! And say that: that's what you have to say: 'The British have got change their attitude — or else!'

"The other thing we ought to say, and not exclude this, is say the Russians are blaming the United States for not cooperating, but the Russians are collaborating with the British, who are the people who are responsible for this problem. The Russians have got to learn to get smart and break with the British! They should pick on the enemy! The enemy's not the United States, even though the President is an asshole. (He's not a good asshole, all he does is deliver the product. But the product stinks!)"

On top of that has been the most recent series of drug-linked terrorist bombings from that of the St. Petersburg-Moscow line, to the Moscow subway bombings and yesterday's suicide bombing in Ingushetia. Ingushetia's President said that they were likely all closely linked; the terrorists don't recognize the existence of the various republics, but see them all as part of the single Emirate of the North Caucusus. This British-controlled and Saudi-funded "Emirate" or "Caliphate" is the form Britain's Caucusus insurgency has taken since 9/11. LaRouche said, "We consider this 9/11. It's the intention of 9/11. A Wahhabite insurgency, so therefore it's an extension of 9/11.

"The point is going to come, that the Russians are going to have to take action against this thing. They have no choice! And the United States will have to support the Russians. Because this is international terrorism! The British are condoning international terrorism. And the evidence is there!"

Summing up, LaRouche said, "I think we just have to go with the thing that we demand that this be another reason for the impeachment of the President of the United States, and make this an issue. We're going for: this guy's got to be impeached. Don't be a dope! Impeach the sonofabitch!

"I think it's extremely important. We've just got to think about this, and we've got to go full steam on this, and we've got to go for an impeachment on this count. Another count of impeachment has just come up today! That's the way it has to be done. An 'in addition to...' The following are the reasons for impeachment.

"Conniving with the British in an opium war which is destroying civilization. And therefore, the British in supporting this, must be considered an outlaw state. The British system is currently an outlaw state, on the basis of this. And since the British have a reputation for drug-pushing, which goes back to the end of the 18th Century. The British Empire has been a drug-pusher, and it still is. And, the Queen does push drugs! You idiot!"
