Q: First of all, I would like to ask you, sir, about the word the "fascism." This is a pretty serious word. And somehow you connect it with Mr. Bush, and with his team.

LAROUCHE: I don't think that the incumbent President knows what the words means. But, I do think that Vice President Cheney and some people like George Shultz, who are at a higher rank in this structure, do know.

What I mean by it, in the 1920s and 1930s, a group of international financiers organized a series of fascist coups, beginning with the 1922 coup under the banker Volpi di Misurata in Italy, which dominated Europe, up to the border of the Soviet forces, up to 1945.

We never crushed the financial interests.We never shut down the financial end of the backers of the Hitler phenomenon. They became the right wing in the Anglo-American system: For example, the assassination of Aldo Moro, the former prime minister of Italy, was done by a right-wing element inside Gladio in Italy, which was NATO-controlled. These guys were products of SS Gen. Karl Wolf's operation in Northern Italy, in the Salo` Republic, at the end of the war. We never eliminated that. They became a part of the system.

Now, what's happened is we've come again, to a great financial crisis internationally, like that of the post-Versailles period. Financial interests, the same pedigree as before, have moved to set up "globalization" -- an imperial version of a fascist world system.

At present, the world is dominated by a group of interests of various countries, who are engaged in a struggle over the planet's raw materials. We have zooming prices of raw materials, including petroleum, which are based, actually upon speculation to control, like a bunch of Physiocrats, to control the world's raw materials, as the way of controlling the future of the planet.

And, what we have is an attempt to destroy the remnants of what we would call, say, Constitutional government, representative government, throughout the world. For example: The IMF attempt to crush Argentina. Similar kinds of operations around the world.

The threat to the governability of the states of Western Europe by this financial crisis; they can't manage their affairs. The United States is bankrupt: Our Federal debt, we can never pay, the way we're going now. We're in a period of a great, international financial-monetary crisis, which is also a physical economy crisis.

And, under these conditions, the tendency is for this kind of group, to try to set up some kind of a dictatorial system, a globalized system, to take over the world.

Cheney is an example: You have the fall of the Soviet power, in the period 1989 through 1991. And during this period, a group inside the United States and Britain decided that they were now going to--without the challenge of Soviet power--they were going to take over the world. And we had operations in that direction. We had the looting of Russia, by Western powers--a tremendous looting, which Russia has not recovered from yet, to this day. Terrible.

So, we're in that kind of a world. There are those who no longer want representative government. They no longer want what we call republics: They want a dictatorship by financier power, which is in a life-death struggle to maintain its former power on the planet.

Q: So, they want to create some sort of small kingdoms and great empire in the center?

LAROUCHE: More than that: They want globalization. They don't want the nation-state.

For example: In European history, the last time we really had that kind of political system was in the decline of the Byzantine Empire, about 1000 A.D. And from that time on, you had the rise of the Venetian financier oligarchy, together with Norman chivalry. This was called the medieval system, from about 1000 A.D. until about the Renaissance. This system dominated Europe. It attempted to crush every effort to build up nation-states.

These forces constantly engaged in wars and other kinds of things, to maintain what they called an ultramontane system--essentially Venetian bankers working in partnership with Norman chivalry, running crusades and other things around the world, as a system of government.

The nation-state form of government actually coincides with the emergence of Russia from the Dark Age in the 15th Century, where you had the beginnings of the emergence of Russia. And the same thing happened in Europe: The emergence of nation-states, as in France, under Louis XI, or Henry VII of England.

It was a struggle to develop the nation-state. In the history of Russia, the role of Peter the Great, in starting a process of development of Russia, which has continued, in a sense, as a part of Russian culture to the present time. So, we have a global change in {European} cultures. Of course, Russia is a Eurasian culture; it's not just a European culture.

But, we have a change, where now we have the emergence of Asian cultures, as typified by China, India and so forth, as emerging potential powers. We have a self-inflicted degeneration of European civilization, as in the crisis in Russia today, or Western Europe, or the Americas. ` So, this is a time of great troubles. And, what people are aiming at, for example, Brzezinski, and people like Blair in London, their ideology--remember Blair represents the liberal imperialist faction of the Fabian Society--their aim is {not} to set up governments. Not even puppet governments, as you see in Iraq. The intention there is {not} to take over Iraq. There intention is what is happening: the destruction of Iraq.

They aim to the destruction of Iran. The attempt to foment wars, between the conflict between some people in Japan, Taiwan, and China, which is creating a great deal of tension in Asia. And China is reflecting it, with sudden statements it hasn't made for a long time; but, new kinds of statements of {anger}, against what the United States is doing against it, with operations in Taiwan.

The same thing you have in the North Caucasus: You have Brzezinski and Holbrooke, who have been targetting, Russia for destruction from this so-called North Caucasus destabilization operation, which has now spilled over from what happened in Georgia, and is now spilling over into Ukraine.

This is the kind of world we're living in. And, the intention of these people is mad. From my standpoint, they're insane. They're trying to create an empire, which can not survive. They can not succeed in creating the empire. They can, however, cause great chaos and destruction of civilization.

Q: And what are their personal reasons to do it? Maybe you have any ideas. It is a very clear picture, and actually everybody can see--it's very open to everybody.

LAROUCHE: I think the point is, look at the problem of Russia today: Look at the thing from the standpoint of President Putin of Russia. He's trying to function in a very difficult situation as a responsible head of a nation-state republic. It's extreme difficult.

What are the problems in Europe? Gerhard Schro"der is not a bad person. He makes mistakes, as many leaders do. But, he's not a bad person. He would like to find stability for his own country, the rebirth of its economic role, in partnership with the countries of Eurasia. You have people in France, who think the same way; you have some people in Italy who think the same way. The problem does not like so much with the individual leaders. It lies with a lack of the right leader in the right place.

By the nature of the system, and Russia's correct in estimating this, that it is impossible to see a rational solution to the present world crisis, except through cooperation between the United States and Russia, together with Western Europe and other countries. In other words, with the crisis coming down, if you had a European bloc of nations, including Russia, who are in partnership with the United States, who were behaving rationally, we could come up with ways to manage this global crisis.

The problem is, is that the way we've been functioning, the habits we've acquired, over the past 40 years in particular, we no longer have the Roosevelt tradition in the United States--it's here! I'm trying to keep it alive and revive it--but, we don't have that in the way we run government.

We're dealing with a {system}, a system of government, which has to be changed. And this requires the cooperation among leaders of nations, who recognize the problem, and can bring nations into new forms of cooperation, by which we can free ourselves of the grip of these bad habits, which are leading us, like the present situation, into Hell. Hmm?

Q: And, I'm sorry, I just wanted to get back to an actual situation which is going on in Ukraine right now. What would you predict what would happen? Another revolution like in Georgia?

LAROUCHE: Well, you know, you have this idiot Brzezinski--forgive me for using the term advisedly; It's not an insult, it's just a technical term of description. This idiot arose at an impromptu meeting of the American Enterprise Institute, called on the occasion of the aftermath of the recent election in Ukraine.

He gave a raving, ranting, idiotic speech, which I'm sure is the kind of thing about Brzezinski and Holbrooke, which enrages people around President Putin against the United States, and against the Democratic Party in particular.

You know, you can imagine being in Moscow, in Putin's position, and hearing this babbling and seeing these operations in North Caucasus directed by people like Brzezinski and Holbrooke and so forth, remembering what Holbrooke did in the Balkans--and say, "These guys are insane!"

Well, so. They have run an operation, to try to exploit all the problems of the region, in order to create a breakup of Ukraine. This is the same thing that Brzezinski came up with in the 1970s, when he was leader of the Trilateral Commission, in talking about the soft underbelly of the Soviet Union, which was the way in which he orchestrated the Afghanistan war, a policy which was then passed on to his Republican friends, and became the great Afghanistan war, which gives us the drug problems, and has become the basis of the operations in the North Caucasus attack on Russia and associated countries.

So, this thing is an orchestrated mess, in which meddlers are trying to create all kinds of problems. This could lead to chaos on the planet.

What we need, is a voice of moderation, {not} for outside meddlers to come in forcefully and dictate to the authorities in Ukraine what they must do. We must be cooperative. We must be sensitive to the problems. We must be sensitive to cultural factors, and historical factors.

So, the problem is, dangerous people are going to try to exploit the problems inside Ukraine, as a continuation of the North Caucasus operation targetting Russia. {That is extremely dangerous.} And, that I think, is the danger.

Q: So, right now, actually, the government of United States of America is making, is enemy to Russia. Well--they're making some actions, which can be considered as enemy actions. Is that correct?

LAROUCHE: In a sense.They're thinking about world empire, based on who controls the world's raw materials. They're not thinking about real economy, as productive economy. They're thinking about {power}, in terms of {raw materials} power.

They want Russia as a lackey, not as an independent force. They want Russia's raw materials. They want Siberia. They want the {entirety} of Siberian raw materials, under control of Anglo-American control. And they want to loot Russia, to the point that Russia will {give up} its economic interest.

You get this thing about Yukos and so forth, as part of that process. They're thinking of orchestrating a world empire, and saying, "Why doesn't Russia {submit} to the great imperial power, and become a partner, a sort of a satrapy within Anglo-American power?"

So, they're perfectly willing to say to President Putin, "Yes, we like you," you know, as this crazy thing about George Bush talking about "Vladimir." They're saying, "We like you. But, we like you as our lackey, not as our partner." This is part of the orchestrating and reducing formerly independent powers, into the status of poor lackeys, who will have to take what they're told to take.

And, in the United States, people say, "Well, we have to create a new world system." They will use the case of 9/11 as an excuse. "We need a new security system. Everything has to be run and coordinated. People have to cooperate with us, and they have to accept our conditions."

This thing is not going to work--but it can cause great crisis. And our
problem is how to get relations among states, back to some semblance of sanity, to think about how we got here, and where we're going if we continue this kind of nonsense.

I don't think they have clear, good ideas, that is, workable ideas; I think they have insane ideas. The danger is, there's great power in their hands. And the use of great power by people who are reckless, do not realize what they are doing, even to themselves in the long run, this is dangerous.

It's like the crown fools of Europe in 1914, who went to war, that Great War: The fools were manipulated! The French, the Kaiser, the Czar, the crazy Kaiser of Austro-Hungary: They were all manipulated! {into a great destructive war,} out of foolishness.

Q: So, when the stick can not bend, it breaks. So, we're standing on the edge of the great war, another war?

LAROUCHE: We could be. I think it's more complicated. I don't think there's a predictability of that type here. There are various options that could happen: For example, right now, we're in the process of an accelerating monetary-financial collapse, into the biggest depression this planet has seen in modern times--now.

Eastern Europe hailed a new Prince of Orange yesterday after Traian Basescu came from behind in the runoff election to be president of Romania.
Like Ukraine's Viktor Yushchenko, the mayor of Bucharest and self-styled scourge of corrupt apparatchiks chose orange for his campaign colours. Unlike Mr Yushchenko, his victory is undisputed by his rival, the prime minister, Adrian Nastase.

And no one tried to poison him. When east European jitters about a resurgent Russia are on the rise, this former ship's captain became the fresh, unmarked face of a future anchored more firmly in the west.

Many Romanians see Mr Basescu's success as the long-awaited climax to a slow-burn revolution which began at Christmas 1989 when the detested pro-Soviet regime of Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled by a coup.

Ceausescu was put up against a wall and shot. But communist era habits died harder. The old elite relabelled themselves Social Democrats (PSD) and became the government party for most of the past 15 years.

But as in Ukraine, which in theory gained its independence in 1991, a corrupt culture of party barons and millionaire oligarchs continued to dominate many aspects of Romanian life.

"The former communists still controlled all the levers of power - the TV and media, industry and the economy, the security forces and the secret police," one analyst said yesterday. "The regional tsars under Ceausescu just switched sides."

But according to Jonathan Eyal, an expert on eastern Europe at the Royal United Services Institute, time had long been running out for the ancien regime headed by the outgoing president and former communist Ion Iliescu.

While Mr Basescu galvanised his urban supporters, conservative rural backers of the government were less committed. "There was a whiff of mothballs about the government. Romanians were saying, can we please put it in the bin?" Dr Eyal said.

Despite successfully negotiating Romania's entry to Nato and the EU, which it is expected to join in 2007, the PSD was too closely associated with the bad old days and gained little domestic credit for its efforts.

Another major factor was the fury at the official corruption in a country where the black market accounts for an estimated 40% of all economic activity.

Mr Basescu promised to crack down on graft, denouncing his rivals as villains and gangsters. "This is a dirty system that destroys political opponents ... but I tell them now: 'Boys, you cannot destroy me!'" he said at the beginning of the campaign.

Successful efforts to prevent the multiple voting fraud detected by OSCE monitors during the first round a fortnight ago contributed to Mr Basescu's breakthrough.

"They fiddled the first round," an expert on eastern Europe said. "People were determined not to let them do it again."

What might be termed the "Ukraine effect" seems to have played a significant part in mobilising Romania's emerging urban middle and professional classes.

"The cackhanded way [the Russian president, Vladimir] Putin tried to encourage the Ukraine result was influential," Dr Eyal said.

But meddling by Moscow in Romania would have been counter-productive. "I have yet to meet the one Romanian who considers Russia a friend or ally. Hatred of Russia is in Romanian blood," he said.

For that reason, among others, Romania has been quick to build on its Nato membership. It is offering cut-price military base facilities to the US in Constanta, on the Black Sea.

Last October the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, went looking for bargains. Such developments may only deepen Russia's post-Ukraine sense of geopolitical encirclement, or even isolation.

In terms of EU membership, Romania - like neighbouring Bulgaria - is a laggard compared with Poland and other former Soviet satellites.

Even the three Baltic republics got in ahead of Bucharest, which still faces tough negotiations on the mandatory structural and judicial reforms. While admitting that there will be problems, Mr Basescu vows "to march in full force towards EU integration".

All the same, Romania's evolving realignment, in the context of Ukraine and Mr Putin's more assertive policies in Russia's "near abroad", could now encourage others in Europe's hinterlands to follow in their turn.

Croatia's hope of EU membership has been bedevilled by its failure to extradite alleged war criminals from the 1990s Balkan wars.

Serbia, where anti-western sentiment still runs strong in the wake of Nato's 1999 Kosovo campaign, is even further behind. But both seem destined to join the EU eventually.

Moldova, on Romania's north-eastern flank, remains fixed in Moscow's sphere - Russian troops are still based in the separatist Transdniestria region - but some analysts think an internal movement to reunite with Romania, defeated in a 1994 plebiscite, will now be revived. If Ukraine shifts decisively westwards, so too may Moldova.

At present eastern Europe's most hopeless case is Belarus, a virtual dictatorship bought and paid for by Moscow. As one EU foreign minister noted caustically: "Only Belarussians can decide their future. The problem is, nobody asks them."

If the future is orange, as Mr Basescu's victory suggests, Belarus may be the last to know.

Article appeared in the Guardian......I suggest someone open the "Communist" archives.....to start explainly to all this states exactly where communism can from.......and who exactly ran the show. It's time to be "Democratic", but more importantly to be Christian.
