August 15, 2008 (LPAC)--For the first time ever, the LaRouche Political Action Committee has made available a Russian-language voiceover of a webcast speech, given by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. It is the presentation the economist made in Washington on July 22, 2008, titled "One Year Later: But Still Not Too Late For You." The Russian version can be accessed, along with voiceovers in four other languages. The webcast's title refers to LaRouche's July 25, 2007 speech, in which he declared that the collapse of the global financial system was not "about to occur," but was, in fact, ongoing. Now, a year later, he told the webcast audience on July 22 that we are not facing a depression, but a general breakdown crisis. He emphasized that "the present international monetary-financial system will die, and will never recover. This system is finished," and "the only possibility that exists now, is to create a replacement system, based on the principles of the founding of the U.S. economic system, with the founding of the actual Constitutional government, as defined under, particularly, Alexander Hamilton."
LaRouche called for three specific remedies, which are not cures to the problem, but without which "there's no future for the United States and no future for the world." The third of those points is that, "The United States must propose to the governments of Russia, China, and India, that these four major countries will agree to sponsor a committee, an alliance of powers, including other powers, to establish a fixed-exchange-rate financial-credit system internationally, of the type that Roosevelt intended in 1944, not what Truman did in 1945!"
LaRouche's forecasts and policy solutions command a high degree of interest and support in Russia and other nations in the former Soviet area where Russian is spoken.
