Trump’s Reelection and the World Mobilization to Stop Starvation in Africa

Many well-meaning people and political groupings in the United States and around the world probably thought that Lyndon LaRouche was exaggerating when he warned — as he did repeatedly and vigorously, over the last 50 years — that the planet was entering a systemic breakdown crisis of the British imperial world order which, left to follow its own course, would drastically depopulate the planet and replace the sovereign nation-state with a fascist, supranational dictatorship — including in the United States.

That wishful illusion about LaRouche’s warnings would explain, to some degree, why many failed to act with sufficient vigor — or even looked the other way — when LaRouche was railroaded and sent to jail, and why, to this day, he has not been exonerated.

Now look at the world on the eve of the critical U.S. Presidential election. Hunger and famine have already taken a toll this year of 7 million people who have died of starvation, principally in Africa, but in other areas as well. World Food Program director David Beasley, who just received the Nobel Prize — and who, significantly, is a long-time close political ally of President Donald Trump — is warning that if immediate action is not taken to address the food problem, and the closely related COVID-19 pandemic, that an additional 25-30 million people could also starve to death in the months ahead.

Do not dismiss Beasley’s warning as “alarmist,” the way many did with LaRouche’s forecasts. An entropic, systemic breakdown of the global physical economy is underway, which shows up severally and in different nations as massive real unemployment (45% globally, 25% in the U.S., close to 30% in Germany); a pandemic that is raging out of control with rising deaths; skyrocketing deaths by drug overdose; and more. As students of LaRouche’s writings are aware, the global physical economy is a single, living organism, one part of which cannot be killed or mortally wounded without producing deadly consequences everywhere else in that process.

Now turn your attention to the United States. As they said they would do in a December 2018 House of Lords policy paper, the British and their American Establishment allies are deployed to stop a second Trump term by any means necessary. Over the last 48 hours, that has meant using a private social media monopoly (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to unilaterally black out and censor any coverage anywhere of a story they found dangerous — on Biden’s foul corruption in the Ukraine affair and many other cases. That meant silencing the New York Post (the fourth largest daily in the country), Congressional committees, and the Twitter account of President Donald Trump — in the middle of a historically decisive Presidential campaign! If successful, this would transform the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights into toilet paper — something the British have been trying to achieve for 250 years.

In discussions today with associates, Helga Zepp-LaRouche emphasized that these dramatic developments bring all aspects of the strategic situation into a single focus. With the efforts at fascist censorship now in full public view, what various groups from different backgrounds were warning would happen, is happening now, less than three weeks before the U.S. election. We must cause a complete blowback against these policies, and their British imperial authors. They are the same authors of the genocide in Africa and the dismantling of the U.S. economy.

The famine in Africa is a test of our moral fitness to survive. We must widely spread the call by LaRouche Africa leader PhillipTsokolibane for President Trump to immediately provide world leadership in addressing this matter now. The role of WFP head David Beasley, and his relationship with Trump going back many years, is an important additional factor. Furthermore, if Joe Biden is elected, his Green New Deal and other virulently anti-industrial policies will guarantee the destruction of the U.S. economy, as well as genocide across Africa — a fact which the tens of millions of undecided American voters need to understand.

The solution for the depressed U.S. economy lies exactly where Lyndon LaRouche always said it did: in gearing up capital goods and technology exports to the developing sector, such as Africa, and to do so in cooperation with China’s Belt and Road Initiative and other international partners.

Let Facebook and Twitter try to censor that policy initiative.
