The following statement was released by independent presidential candidate Diane Sare:
On a beautiful clear Tuesday morning in 2001, at 8:46 a.m., an airplane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Like millions of Americans and millions more around the world, I was shocked when I heard the news. Unlike millions of Americans, when I heard the report, I was standing at a traffic island on the Washington, DC Beltway in Maryland, handing out a broadsheet written by then-presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche warning of a terror attack on the United States.
While the form of the terror attack on the morning of September 11 was not the “Jacobin mob” that LaRouche had warned of (which had been and would be used for other destabilizations), his August 24, 2001 statement identified the conditions leading certain geopolitical forces into believing that such an attack would allow them to achieve a desired political effect:
“The world is presently gripped by the biggest, most deep-going, most deadly financial and monetary crisis since Europe of the middle to late Fourteenth Century. We are in a period in which economic and related circumstances have made the idea of regular modern warfare a sick joke, in which regional and other ‘little wars,’ terrorism, political assassinations, and other forms of destabilization, are leading items on the agendas of many of the strategic planners. The financial and monetary crisis in its presently advanced stage, drives desperate political forces to the brink, 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.
“Washington, D.C. … is still the leading world power. Any movement which would terrify official Washington and its environs into fleeing under its beds, would be a major strategic threat to the peace of the world at large…”
Ask yourself: was the result of the September 11 attacks not precisely what Lyndon LaRouche warned about in that August 2001 statement? How many people have been killed in wars, committed suicide, or become refugees or human chattel as a result of the failure to truthfully investigate what was behind those attacks?
Exactly one week after the attack, on September 18, Lyndon LaRouche, in an interview with EIR News Service, said that the United States was under attack by a “rogue operation inside the security screen of the United States,” stressing that no one could run that kind of attack “from outside the United States at present.” He did not rule out foreign involvement, but insisted the coordinators had to be sought within.
Instead, the American news media, from CNN to Fox News, amplified the intended effect of what was in fact a coup d'état designed to hijack the policy of the United States government. LaRouche, a U.S. presidential candidate at the time, was ignored, slandered, and blacked out of the press. Whistleblowers from the NSA and other intelligence agencies were ignored and painted as kooks.
The American people found it easier to be stampeded into an ill-fated 20-year occupation of Afghanistan, the mass-murderous war against Iraq, and domestic mass surveillance in the name of “keeping us all safe” than to face the evil that had taken over the policy direction of our nation. That evil did not begin on September 11, 2001, but had been made possible by the popular acceptance of the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, leaving the assassination bureau in place to carry out the murders of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Kennedy’s younger brother, Robert Kennedy, who likely would have become president in the ‘68 election. This same apparatus would have been involved in the demonization and ultimate incarceration of American statesman Lyndon LaRouche for the same reasons.
Having failed to address the truth of what was behind September 11th or the assassinations of the 1960’s, and remedy the consequences, we now have a new generation of young adults who never knew the United States prior to the collapsing totalitarian empire that we have now become.
Those of us who are old enough to have been adults on September 11, 2001, and can reflect on the terrible changes in our republic resulting from our acquiescence to the cover-up, including the mass surveillance, the forever wars, and the encroachments on our First Amendment rights, owe it to the younger generation to end this reign of terror and restore our nation to its intended anti-colonial purpose.
This can be done. A new 9/11 investigation is something I would support, and it would be a great relief to bring the perpetrators to justice, including those who benefitted from foreknowledge of the attacks and made millions of dollars over the tragic deaths of thousands of Americans. But we can liberate our republic from this dictatorship of fear before we know all the answers, and given the danger of nuclear war as a result of accepting these lies, we must. It is now time to reject and reverse all of the policies that came into effect after those ill-fated attacks, and we must purge our government of every bureaucrat and elected official who initiated or complied with those policy changes.
It is to achieve this, and to put our country on a solid trajectory toward a peaceful and prosperous future, that I am running for President of the United States.
I demand that anyone like our Under Secretary of War for Policy, Elbridge Colby, who advocates the use of tactical nuclear weapons in war, should be fired immediately. Any member of Congress who votes for continuing to arm the rogue state of Israel or the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine should be driven out of office. Members of Congress who have voted to expand mass surveillance of the American people should be turned out by the voters they have betrayed. Jeopardizing the national security of the United States by merging our military and intelligence functions with any other nation, including Israel, as is mandated in the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is treasonous, and proponents of such legislation should be removed from office and prosecuted. These are all products of the 9/11 paradigm.
The Epstein files give us an opportunity to pursue a remedy. Every client of Jeffrey Epstein must be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That this has not been done already indicates where much of the problem lies.
Why is this possible now, when it has not been achieved for twenty-five years? Because the global financial crisis warned about decades ago by Lyndon LaRouche is now upon us, and now it is also accompanied by a physical economic collapse, already visible in the disruption of world trade caused by the criminal and idiotic U.S.-Israel-launched war of aggression against Iran.
There is great and increasing panic among the ranks of the perverse billionaire class who are bracing for major losses. Their power is not absolute. Under these conditions, systemic change becomes possible.
The measures taken by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his first one hundred days are a model for what is now urgently needed. Specifically, we must put Wall Street on trial through an orderly bankruptcy reorganization, writing down speculative claims while protecting those things related to the general welfare, including home ownership, pension funds, the funding of public utilities and related investments. We must reinstate the Glass–Steagall Act, nationalize the Federal Reserve, and issue trillions of dollars of credit into infrastructure, farms, and industry, which will bring compounding increases to the productive power of our nation.
We shall beat our swords into plowshares. Our military-industrial complex will be retooled to build nuclear power plants and high-speed rail systems. The engineers who now design missiles will design nuclear reactors. This is how a nation grows richer—not by moving money at accelerating rates, but by making its people more productive than they were the year before. In this way, we can overcome the twenty-five years of devastation that we have tolerated since September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years ago we shrank from the mission of pursuing the truth, and chose revenge over justice, and we have been paying for it ever since. Our survival depends on choosing differently. Averting thermonuclear annihilation or a new dark age depends on the American people rejecting the post-9/11 paradigm. I am committed to doing that. Join me.
