At roughly minute 27:27 in the webcast with Helga Zepp-LaRouche that appeared in the Nov. 30 briefing, the transcript mistakenly read that Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche replied to a question about the German government of Angela Merkel: “I always thought that the American government was strangulating the creativity of Germany by introducing a lot of mediocrity....” What she said was, “I always thought that the Merkel government was strangulating the creativity of Germany by introducing a lot of mediocrity....” Apologies for the error.
