- In Defense of the Sovereign Nation State -

- Pots and Pans Made in London -

The following statement was issued yesterday by the Argentine office of the international LaRouche Youth Movement.

Financial Crisis

The crisis of the disintegration of the world financial system, which many thought impossible but which was warned about for years by U.S. economist and former Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, is now visible. And the owners of the moribund system, with its epicenter in the City of London, are deploying political, economic and social destabilization throughout the world, in order to overthrow any government that resists the suicide known as globalization and free trade.

Hyperinflation

We are living through a worldwide hyperinflationary process, from which not one country is exempt. The prices of raw materials are rising daily, the result of purely speculative dynamics: oil is going through the roof, metals, food, etc., and not a single global measure has been undertaken to stop it.

Hunger

The year 2008 finds us facing a food crisis that has been coming on progressively. Per capita food production is falling, and there are already 25,000 deaths a day from starvation.

Speculation: The Case of Soros

This moribund financial system requires the creation of increasingly larger speculative bubbles, in order to postpone its own death by just a little, and the British imperial system which controls this process, is taking advantage of the crisis to reduce food production--and to reduce human beings themselves. High-level criminals have deployed to develop an agricultural speculative bubble, in Argentina, and in the world. The case of George Soros is exemplary: Adecoagro, his speculative fund, owns more than 225,000 hectares of land in South America, including in Argentina. Adecoagro is one of those sowing pools which President Fernandez de Kirchner has correctly denounced. Soros, the megaspeculator and promoter of drug legalization, who is now moving to take control of the U.S. Democratic Party in order to destroy it, is a known thug of the British, and certainly not the only one.

Destabilization

Can't you clearly see the strategic attack against each of the nations of South America? Aren't you concerned over the typically British secession tactics with which Bolivia is being dismembered? Are you surprised by the denunciations of assassination attempts against Rafael Correa of Ecuador and others? Aren't you curious about the way in which the FARC, the world's largest cocaine cartel controlled from London, has tried to "Balkanize" Colombia?

London Orders: "Overthrow Your Government!"

During May and June, the leading London and continental European newspapers have expressed their profound irritation over Argentina's intervention against "free trade": Such impiety! How dare you protect yourselves!

The London Economist and London Guardian, like many opposition figures within our country, express their primary irritation through denunciations of protectionist measures such as the tax on agricultural exports. The {Guardian} said on June 17 that Argentina is already "descending into anarchy ... even more violence in the streets, and the real possibility of social disintegration and political collapse." And in May, the Berliner Tageblatt of Germany said: "It's already known that Mrs. Kirchner won't finish out her term, and in the short term, will be violently removed from her post by civilian forces, made up of common citizens and active members of the agriculture sector." And you: Are you with London in this plan, or with Argentina?

What Should We Argentines Do?

Not play the empire's game! Not ally ourselves to fights on behalf of the speculators. Let us fight for our own interests. Let us move forward together in peace, for all that we lack.

The real conflict is the struggle for the State's right to lead and to intervene in the economy to defend the general welfare of all the citizenry.

We should recognize that it is the world that is facing a general systemic crisis, and should act in defense of regular national sovereignty and intervene in the economic dynamic of the country, at the same time that we act internationally to establish a new economic system among nations.

The nations of Ibero-America should fight together for the reorganization of the world financial system. Only under a new Bretton Woods-style system, where heads of state (not bankers) establish economic agreements among nations that are long term and make possible the reconstruction of necessary infrastructure, on the basis of industrialization, will we emerge from the current genocidal system. As Lyndon LaRouche has detailed, we need an alliance--starting with the four powers of India, China, Russia and the United States but open to more members, to confront the international financial oligarchy and to establish a new economic system without any traces of the British system of monetarism and free trade, to thereby move forward into a concert of long-term agreements among nations that can guarantee the sovereign development of each member nation.

For example, international trade in food should be negotiated among sovereign governments and not with financial vultures like the sowing pools as intermediaries. The same with oil: bilateral trade agreements, as was done in the 1950s, would give the coup de grace to the Rotterdam spot market and would put an end to the speculative bubble.

At the same time, concrete physical-economic measures must be taken to double world food production. And the lunatic idea of biofuels should be buried, while we dedicate ourselves to achieving a transition to the era of nuclear energy.

Argentina can play a very decisive role in this international reordering. We need to reestablish, now more than ever, the indispensable South American Presidents Club that we saw come together these past few years, before they destroy us separately, one by one. We must finalize the creation of the Bank of the South, to build the infrastructure projects we need to achieve physical-economic integration.

Do you know that by associating yourself with the attacks against the Fernandez de Kirchner national government, you are simply lending yourself as a shock force for the financial vultures of the City of London? Do you want to be cannon fodder for an operation of the British Empire against Argentina, similar to the Malvinas War? Hopefully not. We are sick and tired of the hard history of our country, and the postponement of our development, through "Made In London" internal conflicts.

Let us maintain a strategic national unity, and demand of the world a new world economic system, because with free trade and globalization, we will lose everything.
