We are republishing in today’s EIR Daily Briefing the article written by Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. on March 2, 2004, titled “‘Convict Him or Kill Him!’ The Night They Came To Kill Me,” which places the two efforts to assassinate LaRouche (the first in 1973, and the second on Oct. 6, 1986, this day 38 years ago) at the center of the historical effort by British intelligence to destroy any potential that the United States would return to its historic role of a true Republic, based on technology and development for all nations to end colonialism, once and for all. Please read and circulate his article widely.
Assassinations are very much in the air and on people’s minds today: Donald Trump returned to the scene of the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against him on Oct. 5, in the wake of attempt number two in Florida; Julian Assange revealed in his press conference that besides his being confined illegally in England for the crime of being a journalist, that then-CIA director Mike Pompeo plotted assassinating Assange while he had sought asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, clearly in league with British intelligence; the ostensible leaders of the U.S. and the U.K. are proudly and loudly praising Bibi Netanyahu’s numerous bloody assassinations of political Palestinian leaders in Iran and Lebanon, while the the mainstream media cheerleaders are driving the population for the assassinations, along with the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians.
