September 12, 2007 (LPAC)--Lyndon LaRouche heard an authoritative report this morning, that leading Senators and Congressmen are right now under "excruciating" pressure from hedge funds to block any and all legislation affecting them whatsoever. He responded immediately: "All it requires is just any more disclosure, and people will realize the whole thing is coming down. And that would be the end of the hedge funds anyway. But, if we don't get rid of the hedge funds, we're not going to have an economy. You have to choose: hedge funds, or economy. The whole thing is coming down anyway, and delay is the worst possible thing. And the hedge funds are hysterical, because they know that they are bankrupt and finished.

"These guys are hysterical, they're running around, they're afraid that Congress is going to force the truth out. If the truth were forced out, everyone would recognize that their case was hopeless, and the hedge-fund racket would be closed down!

"The thing is on the edge of blowing out now, and the hysteria is based on the fact that the hedge funds know they're blown out and hopelessly bankrupt. They're concealing their bankruptcy! And any additional investigation would show how bankrupt they are, and everybody would immediately go for my legislation!

"They're hiding how bad the situation is; they're lying; they're hysterically lying, and they're pressuring the Congress, with hysterical lies!"
