EIR Vol. 50, No. 29 goes to subscribers Thursday, July 27. The cover photo is of the Schiller Institute’s team and banner at the July 22 peace rally at the Scranton Army Munitions Plant.
This week’s featured reprint by Lyndon LaRouche is from 1999. It is titled “The Washington Post ‘Death Beam’ Hoax. LaRouche sets the record straight, going back to the proposal of H.G. Wells that nuclear weapons should be developed and used as weapons so awful, that nations would give up their sovereignties to world government, rather than risk future general wars:
“From that time on, Bertrand Russell became the leading spokesman for Wells policy of world government through terror of nuclear weapons…. That became the doctrine of the U.S. government, as pushed by the Pugwash Conference organization, and by John J. McCloy, McGeorge Bundy, Henry A. Kissinger, et al.”
LaRouche then describes the real background to the Strategic Defense Initiative, discussing the work of the FEF, “developed as a byproduct of my general specialization in the matter of Riemannian manifolds for purposes of long-range studies in technological attrition, and my rejection of the mechanistic delusion, that so-called ‘Coulomb Forces’ operate as law within the range of the sub-atomic and nuclear ‘infinitesimally small.’”
In Section I, Actions for Peace, are four items:
A press release from Humanity for Peace, advertising its upcoming Aug. 6 International Demonstration at United Nations Plaza in New York City, followed that evening by a concert that evening by the Schiller Institute NYC chorus and friends featuring Mozart’s Requiem.
