November 8, 2007 (LPAC)--When Mexican President Felipe Calderon tried to dismiss the Katrina-like, catastrophic floods in the southern states of Tabasco, Chiapas and Oaxaca as all a result of global warming, the LaRouche Youth Movement in Mexico went into action, producing and circulating a leaflet titled "On the Tragedy in Tabasco: The Solution to Economic Collapse Is Infrastructure."

By claiming global warming is "the origin and cause of this catastrophe... President Calderon is trying to hide the true face that is behind the Tabasco catastrophe: the collapse of infrastructure and physical economy of the country," under two and a half decades of free trade. "It is well known that the international financial oligarchy is using media propaganda to stop the development of nations; its free trade policies have found their best ally in the so-called green policy of worship of the Mother Earth Gaia," the LYM writes.

"What is needed is the reestablishment of productive powers and the construction of a body of infrastructure that can integrate our country once again," joining with other sovereign nations to create the mechanisms necessary to finance them. "This must be carried out by the State, since no private initiative is capable, nor will be, of resolving problems of this magnitude.

"Jose Lopez Portillo [1976-1982] was the last President to have this idea, and he did everything in his power to make us an industrialized country, establishing the foundations for a Mexico headed toward becoming a self-sufficient industrial power."

The rivers whose overflowing added to the heavy rains in producing the catastrophic floods, the Grijalva-Usumacinta system, are among the seven most important in the world, based on the volume of water.

With construction of the long-planned regional water management project called the Hydraulic Plan of the Northern Gulf (PLHIGON); 110.9 million cubic meters simply dumping into the sea, and representing 30% of the surface drainage of Mexico, could provide sufficient water sufficient to double Mexico's agricultural and hydroelectric potential.

"No aid fund is going to help. The states must reintegrate themselves, through development corridors. There can be no pretext for stopping the development of the nation, and we must not accept no for an answer.

We must therefore change our way of thinking with regard to the economy, and we must fight for a new international economic order that will allow us the flow of necessary credit to build many projects like the PLHINO and PLHIGON, which have become part of the World Landbridge, proposals that the LaRouche movement is carrying to every part of the world. Join this effort and get in touch with us. Lyndon H. LaRouche is right, and it is time to listen to him.
