Executive Intelligence Review; Volume 41, Number 30: Published August 1, 2014

From the Editors: The world went through another dramatic shift this last week, which provides hope for mankind emerging out of the current crisis. Last week, we featured the BRICS Summit that brought together nations representing half of humanity, to form the seed-crystal of a new system-an Earth-shaking event that we found the vast majority of the U.S. Congress was not even aware of This week, however, the Congress itself took a significant move to break with the current paradigm of doom-with its reassertion of its Constitutional power over the issues of war and peace (our Cover Story in National). We bring you extensive excerpts of the speeches given in the run-up to that July 25 vote, a vote which has been largely blacked out of the "major" media. It's followed by our first-hand coverage of an extremely important further development on the suppressed 28 pages of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry-an issue which holds the potential to blow the British Empire's control over terrorism wide open. The implications of both of these shifts were put forward in conceptual depth in the July 25 weekly webcast (Feature), whose transcript we again publish. While these webcasts are available for viewing on www.larouchepac.com, we believe the transcripts will aid you in tackling the profound issues of economic science and philosophy which are being presented as urgent measures for action. Under Economics, we update the battle being led by Argentina against the vulture funds-a battle that nation is winning, and which should serve as an inspiration to nations elsewhere. That is complemented by an article on how the new BRICS paradigm is coming into play in Northeast Asia, around the Rason port project. We plan to put a focus on such developments in the weeks ahead. Our International section takes up the British strategic response to the threat to their dominance, with an overview on the global war drive, and further coverage of Ukraine developments which are generally blacked out in the West. Note the Guest Commentary by a leading Malaysian scholar on MH17, in particular. Helga Zepp-LaRouche takes on the question of German-U.S. relations, which are currently going through a crisis in the wake of both the British-U.S. drive for war, and the recent exposures by Edward Snowden and others of violations of its sovereignty. And for those who continue to deny the British imperial role in manipulating the U.S., and the world, toward World War III, we publish an antidote, the concluding installment of "The British Empire's Cold War vs. the U.S.-Russian Alliance" (History).
