At 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, Diane Sare was standing on a traffic island on the Washington Beltway, handing motorists a broadsheet by presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche warning of a coming terror attack on the United States.
In a statement marking the twenty-fifth anniversary, Sare—now herself a candidate for President—recalls what LaRouche had written three weeks earlier: that the deepest financial and monetary crisis since the fourteenth century “drives desperate political forces … who would rather drive civilization itself to the brink, than tolerate the changes in financial and monetary institutions which the present crisis-situation demands.”
A week after the attacks, LaRouche told EIR that the country was under attack by “a rogue operation inside the security screen of the United States.” He was ignored, slandered and blacked out of the press.
What followed was twenty years in Afghanistan, the war against Iraq, and domestic mass surveillance. Sare calls for reversing the entire post-9/11 paradigm, beginning with the dismissal of Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby for advocating the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
