December 12, 2007 (LPAC)-- LYM Organizers in Texas and California are finding wide open response when they move aggressively to present LaRouche's economic policy as a "one," to counter efforts to mobilize a racist, Jacobin response to the ongoing economic/financial breakdown. This include three initiatives as one flank: the HBPA, as the front-end in addressing the disintegration of the banking system; PLHINO and PLHIGON, combined with the Bering Strait and NAWAPA, as the kind of "big thinking" necessary to address the water crisis while jump starting the economy, based on the principle of the Peace of Westphalia; and the implications of this to address the "immigration crisis," which will otherwise be used to whip up racist fascist mobs against desperate Mexicans, who are flocking to the U.S. in an attempt to survive.
In the last 24 hours, two local governments in southeast Texas passed resolutions calling for support of LaRouche's HBPA. The Cameron County Commission, which includes the city of Brownsville, was joined by the city of San Benito -- which is in Cameron County -- in passing resolutions supporting LaRouche's legislation. There are several more local governments which are presently debating this, and a grouping of largely Hispanic state representatives engaging in animated discussion with representatives of the LYM. In these meetings, the best response has come from using the immigration and water crises to drive home the point that the "foreclosure crisis" is really just a highly-visible element of a much bigger, spreading disintegration of the global financial system.
There is similar momentum growing in southern California and the San Francisco Bay area, where LYM members have been tenacious in taking on the Pelosi-inspired capitulation of Democrats to the Shultzian commitment to Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest fascist policies. The Mayor of Lynwood, California (in Los Angeles County) signed a statement of support of the HBPA, following discussion by city leaders of LaRouche's analysis. There is a similar process underway in another L.A. County city, Carson, as well as in San Diego, which has been buffeted by a series of natural and man-made calamities.
The key to the advance of LaRouche's alternative along the border has been the persistent, tenacious approach taken by LYM members, who refuse to be dismissed by officials who are behaving in a cowardly manner, for purposes of "getting along" with corrupt so-called leaders.
In the background in California is the latest report from Gov. Schwarzenegger's finance director, who announced yesterday that the state budget deficit for 2008-09 has now ballooned to $14 billion, due primarily to a devastating collapse in revenue. Last August, California Democrats sided with Schwarzenegger to pass a rotten budget compromise for 2007-08, based on the promise that the austerity imposed in that budget would lead in the direction of a balanced budget. During that debate, LaRouche and his organization insisted that such a compromise was being imposed by the fascist duo of Shultz and Felix Rohatyn, working through Pelosi and the Kennedy family machine tied to Arnie, and that this would be the prelude to even more brutal budget cuts in the future.
The announcement today that the deficit would not be $2 billion, or $6 billion, or even the $9.8 billion announced two weeks ago, but is cascading toward $20 billion, is forcing a re-evaluation from even those weak-kneed Democrats who have capitulated to the Ms.-leadership of Speaker Pelosi.
