Larouche's warning of Cheney's Guns of August
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 05:41 PM by Domitan

Lyndon LaRouche, on this Wednesday afternoon, issued an international alert, covering the period of August 2005, which is the likely timeframe for Vice President Dick Cheney, with the full collusion of the circles of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to unleash the recently exposed plans to stage a preemptive tactical nuclear strike against Iran. The danger of such a mad, Hitler-in-the-bunker action from the Cheney circles would be even further heightened, were the United States Congress to stick with its present schedule, and go into recess on July 30 until September 4. With Congress out of Washington, the Cheney-led White House would almost certainly unleash a "Guns of August" attack on Iran.

The most compelling evidence of this "Guns of August" plan, LaRouche emphasized in discussions with colleagues, is the pattern of eyewitness reports of Dick Cheney's state of mind. Cheney is living out an American version of "Hitler in the bunker," lashing out at Republican Senators who have dared to resist his mad tirades, accusing anyone who fails to follow his orders—including senior members of the United States Senate—of being "traitors" and worse.

And finally, LaRouche identified a series of reports from highly qualified Congressional, military, and intelligence community sources, who have confirmed the essential features of the original American Conservative account of Cheney's Strangelove schemes for a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. These sources have emphasized that these Iran plans are not merely military contingency studies, but represent the policy intentions of Cheney.

-----------------------

Yes, yes, I know that Larouche is largely discredited here, and understandably so. Let's pray that it's just one more thing that we can discredit Larouche once September comes by and no WWIII has arrived. I admit that there's a sliver of me that feels ill at ease after reading this, but I remember how many times alarmist articles have come and gone with their prophecies unfulfilled.

1. Whatever the source, what concerns me is-
the fact that none of us would be surprised
by the very real possibility of such madness
being executed by these maniacs.
I guess I am pretty unnerved by your post because
I dreamed of a nuclear explosion this morning.
I was hiding in my basement with my daughter
and a blast went off...
Is it cocktail hour yet?

2. Pack Tinfoil in your hat--It's an "international alert"
Guess that means one of his loonies is in Canada...

"LaRouche identified a series of reports from highly qualified Congressional, military, and intelligence community sources"
What qualifies them is that they're loopy enough to talk to LaRouche...

5. Back in the Viet Nam era
there were people who suspected that LaRouche was part of cointelpro, since the only thing his "anti-war" group did was attack other anti-war groups and try to start violence at peaceful protests.

Myself, I think he's just an asshole.

Either way, you do decent people no good at all by peddling what he has to say as if it was worth hearing.

6. No, I'm just saying LaRouche is a crackpot best ignored
and that a grandiose term like "International Alert" is extremely funny in this context...

Wonder if he still pretends the Queen of England is behind the heroin trade...
