Executive Intelligence Review; Volume 41, Issue 27

From the Editors: The British financial empire is in big trouble, and that means big trouble for mankind, unless emergency action is taken to put that bankrupt behemoth out of action. In this issue of EIR, we feature in-depth profiles of two of the leading flanks available for achieving that urgent objective, in this crucial month of July. The first is the fight of the so-called vulture funds, backed by the U.S. government and Wall Street, against Argentina (Economics Cover Story). This showdown has profound implications for the whole financial system, as, in effect, the Wall Street/London crowd is demanding the overturning of national sovereignty itself, in its desperate grasp for loot and power. EIR has the inside track on this battle, which goes back to the Argentine debt crisis of the early 1980s, and today includes the potential for the emergence of a new global financial architecture erected around the Eurasian coalition of nations, led by Russia and China. It is a battle that can be won, with the ideas EIR and the LaRouche movement have put on the table. We have first-hand reporting on the events. The Eurasian initiative goes far beyond the Argentine fight, of course, as our strategic lead describes. It represents a conscious flank against the war drive globally, and in hotspots such as the Korean Peninsula. How the Eurasian initiative is essential to the United States is laid out in our article on the Asian International Investment Bank. As in the case of the Argentine debt fight, the ideas of Alexander Hamilton are crucial to success (National). The second flank we feature is the fight around the long overdue impeachment of Barack Obama, who, as a tool of the British Empire, today represents the biggest threat to the future of mankind (Feature). As long as British imperial policy controls the U.S. Presidency through Obama, we are headed for a thermonuclear war. Our coverage features our interview with law professor Francis Boyle on the immediate prospects for impeachment, as well as a picture of the motion in Con-gress toward this end. In addition to our strategic overview, we publish two background features. The first is a report on EIR's Lawrence Freeman's trip to Sudan, in which he details how the U.S.'s favorite weapon, sanctions, are destroying that potential breadbasket (International). The other addresses the source of the brainwashing of the American population, and Congress, against Russia-the British Stuart Rosenblatt quotes from MI6 memos and other documentation that should open your eyes (History).
