The two most urgent American responses to the attacks on the country on Sept. 11, have not yet been carried out. Those required responses are to push through a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict, which otherwise is headed toward the general religious war conflagration the conspirators of Sept. 11 wanted; and to take measures to stop the collapse of the U.S. and world economy.
To stop the apparently irreversible descent of the Mideast into war requires that the peace initiatives of Presidents Bush and Putin be backed by a worldwide understanding of just what the insanity of the policy of the Sharon government in Israel is. That means heeding the “blunt warning” of EIR Founding Editor and Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche, against “the insane fascism of Ariel Sharon,” which will lead to the self-destruction of Israel and its future vilification as guilty of hideous crimes against the Palestinian and Arab people. That warning has been circulating around the world since Dec. 9.
“Israel under the current Sharon dictatorship,” LaRouche said, “is a Nazi-like, fascist regime in the footsteps of Napoleon I, Napoleon III, the Carlists of Spain, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler. In the pre-history of modern Israel, the most notable roots of fascism are traced from the Odessa of the days of the Okhrana’s Colonel Zubatov, the Odessa of the common associates of Alexander Helphand ('Parvus') and Vladimir Jabotinsky. The principal immediate antecedent of political fascism in Israel is the influence of Jabotinsky. Jabotinsky’s organization of his fascist movement was situated principally in the Italy of Jabotinsky’s Venice associate Volpe di Misurata, Benito Mussolini, Ezra Pound, and Jay Lovestone’s crony, James Jesus Angleton, et al.
