Do You Support Argentina—or the Criminal Speculators?

On behalf of the Citizens Electoral Council, CEC National Secretary Craig Isherwood today endorsed the following emergency call by Schiller Institute founder and chairman Helga Zepp-LaRouche, to defend the nation of Argentina against the attempt by City of London and Wall Street speculative funds to crush it, in order to repay unjust, usurious debt.
Said Isherwood, “In his beautiful exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis has denounced the present speculation-based global financial system as ‘the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a human purpose’, as an ‘economy which kills’. At the time of its 2001 default on its international debt, Argentina had a 25 per cent unemployment rate with fully 50 per cent of its citizens living in abject poverty. It renegotiated that debt and has been paying it regularly since 2005, but only because the nation grew by directing credit into its industrial and agricultural sectors. Now, these vulture funds, with the full backing of the U.S. Supreme Court, and of the Obama administration itself as of 2 July, intend to simply destroy Argentina under pretext of paying the debt.
“This is not only evil, but insane because Argentina can not and will not back down, and a full Argentine default would probably blow out the world’s financial bubble of almost $2 quadrillion in derivatives.
“I am proud to add my signature on behalf of the CEC to that of Mrs. LaRouche and urge all Australian citizens and institutions to do likewise. We must, as the Pope has demanded and for which Mrs. LaRouche has below provided some of the specifics, enact a ‘radical financial reform’ on behalf of the common good of all people, and all nations.” http://cecaust.com.au/main.asp?sub=pubs&id=NC_07_12.html
Do You Support Argentina—or the Criminal Speculators?
A battle to the death is ongoing between Argentina and two of the most notorious hedge funds, NML Capital and Aurelius Capital Management, and its outcome will determine whether humanity plunges into disaster and probably annihilates itself in a thermonuclear world war, or whether we get our act together in time and put a new, just world economic order on the agenda.
What is going on?
On the one side, are the unscrupulous mega-speculators, whose greed is insatiable, and who are part of the Anglo-American-dominated imperialist grouping. This grouping is attempting to establish a world empire through such activities as: the 24/7 spying on citizens by the NSA and Britain’s GCHQ; the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which would give all power to the multinationals and the “Too Big To Fail” banks at the expense of the right of sovereign governments to protect the general welfare of their citizens; the relentless eastward expansion of NATO and the EU, including with an ever more sophisticated Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system whose clear purpose is to enable thermonuclear first strikes against Russia and China, but which would unleash a thermonuclear holocaust and likely wipe out the human race.
One of the hedge funds, NML Capital Fund, is demanding a payment of $832 million on the bonds it purchased in default at the scrap price of $48.7 million only six years ago — a profit of 1,608 per cent! That would force Argentina into bankruptcy, and could very well trigger a systemic crisis of the global financial system.
On the other side stands Argentina, which has emphasized and proven that it wants to pay its debts, but in such a way that the Argentine economy maintains the growth needed to be able to do that. This was also, by the way, the argument by the late Deutsche Bank chairman Hermann Abs at the London Debt Conference in 1953, on the subject of restructuring the German debt.
Argentina has made it clear in an international advertising campaign, that it is paying and will continue to pay, but under conditions that do not kill off its own population and economy.
The recent murderous ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the hedge funds has triggered an unprecedented wave of solidarity with Argentina: the Organization of American States (OAS) — except for the United States; the G77, with its 133 member states; MERCOSUR (the Southern Common Market); UNASUR (the Union of South American Nations); China, Russia, France, and even 100+ British parliamentarians — i.e., the majority of mankind — are all defending Argentina’s rights against the usurers.
The crucial question here is: Is international law, as it evolved from the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, and as expressed in the UN Charter, still valid, or not? Can and must a sovereign government defend the general welfare of its citizens, or do criminal speculators have the right to use all means, as Shakespeare depicted so vividly in “The Merchant of Venice,” to demand the debtor’s “pound of flesh,” even if that means that the person dies?
There is a breathtaking process underway now among the BRICS countries (Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa) and Ibero-America, in which these States are constructing a new, just world economic order, based on building up the real economy, scientific and technological progress, and a vision of the future. This is the idea of a World Land-Bridge that will join peoples and nations as the driver for a world economic renaissance to replace the present, speculation-centered globalist nightmare which is driving the world toward war.
The only thing that the trans-Atlantic camp has to offer is the sacrifice of the common good, of the happiness and the life of its people, in favor of a Frankenstein monster, “the stability of the market,” to which anything and everything should be sacrificed, but which is itself hopelessly bankrupt. This system does exactly what Pope Francis says: It kills. You could also call it satanic.
In the struggle between Argentina and the hedge funds, there is no middle ground. Which side are you on? Which side is your government on? We want an answer!
Signed:
Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Chairman, Schiller Institute

Any Decision Is Better Than No Decision

Any Decision Is Better Than No DecisionIndecision is the enemy of action.
If life is motion and motionless is death,
that makes indecision pretty deadly.
If you were to make a list of all your points of indecision and make a decision on each one, I’m guessing you could restore a lot of life and action to what you thought was your life.

Ablechild June Update

This is worth passing on in full:
Ablechild June Update
“Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world, it is the only thing that ever has.”
June Ablechild Report to Members Sponsored by TheMarriageBuzz.com
Dear Ablechild Members:
June was an interesting, if not enlightening, month. As many of you are aware, Ablechild long has been pushing to get reports released by various special commissions and task forces set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. Ablechild believes – hopes – these reports may shed some light on the mental health history of Adam Lanza and, subsequently, shed some light on the motive for the attack.
In mid-June the Task Force to Study the Provisions of Behavioral Health Services for Young Adults was released and, as expected, no part of the 60-odd page report provides any information about the type of mental health treatment Lanza may have received in the years leading up to the shooting. Ablechild finds this completely unacceptable. The reason is simple. This Task Force was set up as part of the costly mental health legislation in Connecticut, which was passed in response to the Sandy Hook shooting, but nothing in this report addresses Adam Lanza’s mental health treatment.
This Task Force made 47 recommendations, 42 of which benefit the psychiatric and drug industries. Because Adam Lanza’s mental health history was not part of the Task Force’s consideration when coming up with its recommendations, it seems clear to Ablechild that increasing mental health is the agenda and Sandy Hook is the ruse to make it happen. To date, there has been no interest by those tasked with making mental health recommendations in the state to even consider whether or not Adam Lanza received appropriate mental health care.
Ablechild still looks forward to two additional reports that have yet to see the light of day: The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission and the State Child Advocates Office. Both groups should have delivered these reports by now. Although Ablechild has little hope, based on information leaked to the press, that either report will address the mental health of Adam Lanza, we are, nevertheless, eager to review both and will let our Members know when they are released.
This is important information that should be made public. Ablechild’s work is about informed consent – that parents know their rights when it comes to psychiatric diagnosing and psychiatric drugging. What happened at Sandy Hook should be of interest to all because it is being used as the reason for the mental health industry to further encroach on your rights. This is why Ablechild needs your continued support.
Also during the month of June, Ablechild produced several articles, dealing with a host of issues affecting families. All of these articles are easily accessible on our website. We were pleased that Mad In America picked up our piece: The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission and the Evidence of a “Convicted Offender.”
Ablechild was a guest on several radio shows during the month, including the Dr. Randy Hansbrough Show out of Stuart, Florida and The Walter Davis Progress in the World Show. Click on the links to hear Ablechild co-founder, Sheila Matthews interviews.
Ablechild also attended the Connecticut Press Conference regarding the release of the report by the Task Force to Study the Provisions of Behavioral Health Services for Young Adults, where co-founder Sheila Matthews asked tough questions about the Task Force’s failure to include any data regarding Adam Lanza’s mental health treatment. The Task Force’s unwillingness to address these important issues, that will impact your safety and your child’s rights, did not stop it from recommending to “…provide aggressive outpatient services, “shy of forced medication.”

Why I Support AbleChild.org
As a child in elementary school my own early experiences were difficult. I had a hard time focusing and back in the 60s they labeled me hyperactive. School was a challenge which at times just felt boring but at other times it was painful.
My teachers didn’t understand so most of the time I was either writing 1000 times “I will not disrupt the class” or I was sitting in exile until I could control myself. Actually I felt like I was controlling myself.
By the time I hit my late 20s I was self-diagnosed ADHD. When I did seek the help of my doctors they quickly prescribed meds like Adderall and Depakote. This was terrible. I was speeding on the Adderall and lethargic with swollen ankles on the Depakote.
I decided to manage my life through my own methods. It was not easy. But it was better than being medicated. At least my life was my own. I managed my schedule differently, radically changed my work life, and built a system for living that was tailored to my personality and special gifts.
Fast-forward to 1994 and Carol and I are having our first baby. When Alex was born we were like any first-time parents. Concerned. Worried. Basically freaked out about everything. Especially when he started to go to school. All my fears came back up. I basically relived my experiences through Alex.
We were lucky that Carol was able to nourish and champion all Alex’s school challenges from nursery school all the way through college. And she did an amazing job. Without medication.
Alex is a healthy, vibrant, compassionate, loving 20-year-old with tons of gifts and a great attitude. We also have a second son Max born in 2000 who has had a much easier time both in school and socially.
So we are blessed to have dodged the bullet so to speak. We never had to face what some parents are faced with on a daily basis. I am so grateful for our good fortune and I support AbleChild.org to help other parents and children gain access to the resources, tools and funding they need to conquer their personal and family challenges.
A large part of my work is devoted to helping families communicate better about life’s challenges.
If you are suffering and think you are alone with your parenting challenges the only other person who knows what you are going through is your spouse.
Sometimes there’s just no relief.
The tendency is to shut everyone else out especially your spouse. However, this is really the most critical time to deepen your connection and improve your relationship.
I support and celebrate “Parent Advocacy” and I am a defender against drugs, pills, the medical establishment and ignorance. As a board certified health coach I seek opportunities to collaborate and support other voices in the community to help AbleChild.org get its message out further.
Through my program “The Marriage Buzz” I help families, especially moms, cope with parenting, school and financial issues every day. The strain put on our marriages, families and communities is devastating and increasing because of these issues.
As a visionary, I see so much potential for collaboration between “The Marriage Buzz” and this wonderful organization. I look forward to supporting Sheila and AbleChild.org in their mission.
Warmly,
Rick Gabrielly
