Oct. 28, 2008 (LPAC)-- The economic collapse which Lyndon LaRouche has been warning about is finally being acknowledged within the city of Boston. Desperately concerned city councilors and community activists gathered for an October 27th press conference along with community members holding pickets saying, “Bail out the People, Not the Banks”. This conference called on Governor Deval Patrick and Mayor Menino to declare an economic state of emergency, entailing the freeze of home foreclosures and disallowing the electrical company NSTAR to discontinue its utility services to those who can no longer afford the payments. Months ago, LaRouche warned that people would soon find themselves choosing between heating their homes, putting gas in the tank, or eating; unless his HBPA emergency legislation was enacted. This has become very evident in Boston, as city councilors recounted that choosing one living necessity over another is in fact what their constituents are facing, as well as the effect that this has on young children, whose cognitive capabilities and health are being greatly diminished by these conditions; many Boston Public Schools as well are entering the process of being shut down or reduced in size. All the councilors and activists denounced the bailout, saying, “If our federal government can bail out the people who caused this crisis, then why can’t they bail out the people and tax payers? Having a home isn’t a privilege but a right. Why aren’t the people on Wall Street the ones worrying about heating their homes?” A plea for a return to morality was made.

A dialogue then ensued in which one man said, “People will set fires in the streets, or their houses on fire to stay warm this winter. People will resort to stone age methods.” One city councilor whom LPAC has worked with in the past said that society should not be forced to become uncivilized. After another question on how the organizing that this grouping is doing can grow to a national level, the same councilor went through a short briefing on how Nixon in 1971 took the dollar off the gold standard, and essentially opened the doors for wild speculation, and that we must return international finance to the pre 1971 era. Another man brought up the November 15th international conference coming up, labeling it A Call for New Imperialism, and asked if Boston should host its own conference on the same day.(The upcoming conference to plan a New Bretton Woods economic conference) An LPAC organizer responded, giving the public a sense of the international fight developing over the question of what is going to be discussed and created at this conference. Is it going to be a Britain Woods or LaRouche’s New Bretton Woods? And that right now LPAC is organizing internationally to educate institutions, diplomats, and the population on the needed principles of economics and social relations, typified by the principle of the Treaty of Westphalia, which can put an end to the British Imperial System.

These concerned councilors as well as any true American Patriot are welcome to join LPAC in the fight to create a New Bretton Woods that is governed by morality. The British Empire cannot be defeated locally, but only through an international commitment to restore the sovereignty of principled nation-states.
