Obama Must Go!

With every passing hour and day, more and more evidence is accumulating, that President Obama has gone over the edge, and is living out a Hitler-in-the-bunker end-game. The question is whether enough Americans, including leading institutional circles, will come to their senses and recognize that the very fate of the nation hangs on Obama's safe and Constitutional removal from office—before Labor Day or soon thereafter. The essence of LaRouche's latest forecast is that the United States will not survive the period between now and late September unless Obama is removed from power in this interval. The latest Basement project is aimed at providing the organic leadership of the mass strike, as well as leading institutional circles, with the unavoidable evidence that the entire global financial system is doomed—in the immediate days and weeks ahead—and that a change in policy here in the United States is impossible until Obama is out of office.

Nobody else will speak the truth about Obama's insanity, even though behind the scenes, in the corridors of power, Obama's madness and the accuracy of the LaRouche July-September forecast is not in dispute. There are more and more reports of these discussions, including the fact that LaRouche's name is being more and more frequently invoked, in high-level deliberations about the immediacy of the collapse, and the needed remedies. Obama is being described as "disconnected" from reality and obsessed with his 2012 reelection. The statement by Robert Gibbs last week—that the Democrats are going to suffer a humiliating loss of the House and maybe the Senate as well—was, ironically, totally accurate. But it convinced the Democratic Party machine apparatus—Pelosi, Reid, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) gang—that Obama's reelection strategy is to have the Democrats lose, big, and then attack the Republicans for obstructing the rest of his legislative agenda. As Lyn observed, this is total madness, but this is what you are getting from Obama. Obama's behavior is accelerating the disintegration of the entire Democratic Party hierarchy! That is one of the delicious ironies of this situation. The wiseguys at DNC headquarters, and in the Congress—like Tom Daschle, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid—who made a Devil's pact with the Chicago gang to block Hillary Clinton from winning the Democratic Party presidential nomination and the presidency, are now being forced to confront their own treachery. But these gutless wonders, in LaRouche's estimate, will do nothing to get out of the crisis of their own doing. They won't move against Obama until the pitchforks of the American people hit them in the rear.

The truth is: Obama is incapable of handling the reality that the entire U.S. economy is wiped out, the global financial system is doomed, and the Afghan war, that he now truly "owns," is unwinnable. Look—as one senior intelligence contact pointed out—at how Obama reacted to the BP oil spill in the Gulf. He was briefed, in depth, within days of the explosion, about the magnitude of the spill, and the required emergency measures. He rejected them, and went into a state of dissociation, waiting weeks, and now months, to take action. This is the sign of a man completely disconnected from reality.

And what's more, we are getting more and more qualified reports that Obama is seriously contemplating military action against Iran—not because Iran is anywhere near having a nuclear bomb, but because it might boost his 2012 reelection prospects, by silencing his right-wing critics.

Such an attack on Iran, at British instigation, would be akin to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack was on the military drawing boards from the mid-1920s, at the time that Japan and Britain were in an alliance against the United States, as evidenced by the naval disarmament treaty, among other actions. The U.S. military command knew, perfectly well, of the Anglo-Japanese war plan to launch a sneak attack against Pearl Harbor, and U.S. military planners had developed War Plan Red and War Plan Orange, to defeat the efforts. After Nazi Germany overran France, with the complicity of French pro-Hitler fascists, Churchill switched sides, and desperately allied with his avowed enemy, the United States of Franklin Roosevelt, to defeat the Axis Powers that Britain had sponsored. Japan went ahead, desperately, with the Pearl Harbor attack, despite the British betrayal, knowing it would succeed in the shortrun, but would lead to Imperial Japan's ultimate defeat and doom. Think about Obama's reported contemplation of an attack on Iran at this time, in the same context. That is Lyn's assessment.

Obama is preparing to go ahead with Schachtian murderous austerity, via the Simpson-Bowles austerity commission, as prescribed by the June IMF survey team report on the United States. This is precisely the British agenda of radical Malthusian population reduction. His just-announced AIDS policy, as reported in yesterday's briefing, is pure genocide, reminiscent of Bertrand Russell's infamous 1953 wish that a Black Death could be created once every generation, to solve the "population problem." His aggressive assault on NASA is an attack on the very essence of America's scientific achievements. At the same time that he is tearing down what little is left of the real American economy, Obama is prepared to continue with the insane Afghan war effort, and open a third war-front against Iran, even as American troops remain in Iraq.
