[GJM] What exactly is Larouch'es main monetary policy? The BIG ONE

Wed Aug 8 14:27:08 MDT 2007

Hi Moeen,

Thanks for your response.  

1.My view (perhaps wrong) is that Larouche would make colossal (and successful) use of central- bank-issued interest-free loans for public capital works such as bridges, watrer supplies , hopsitals etc.  He is very imagiinative and bold.

Her would probably also use such loans in the private sector BUT NOT so as to spread ownership -- rather the opposite, the effect would be a massive concentration of ownership.

He would also use debt-free issuance and I think I have seen (I could be wrong) indications that he might then use financial controls to control inflation i.e. he would be forced into a form of command economy.

All in all, there's lots of good stuff in LaRouche but I am probably not the only one who worries about the resulting concentration of power.  Indeed, I believe that LaRouche tends to make many people feel uneasy because of that undoubted touch of authoritariansim and probably policies which would bring it right out into the open and give it real force.

2.    Parliamentarans are unlikely to be interested (and, in any case, they would be warned off by advisers) and the Bromsgrove group is (as far as I know) still opposed to interest-free loans and so out of touch with what is acceptable in the real world.

3.    The big contact who already has real power (and soon could be the second most powerful man in American politics although no American politician can usually beat the lobbyists, blackmailers and bribers) is Dennis Kucinich .  DK has a big established base in Americna politics and is not viewed (by Americans) as an outsider. (whereas LaRouche is).   DK not only supports interest-free loans for all forms of public capital infrastruture but also for small farms.  Thus DK is quite capable of seeing that interest-free loans could be used for ALL forms of producitve capacity -- in the private sector as well as the public.

As I keep saying I have tried -- and failed -- to get the American binary economists to make a deal with Kucinich but they refuse to move an inch away from their usual positions and co-operate with the thousands of Americans that Kucinich leads.   
There is alos a huge background of the use of interest-free loans for public capital in
a) Canada (where there is growing support for Kucinich -- town council etc are passing motions in support of the idea)
b) New Zealand
and both these countries have a substantial history of using the loans int he past.

At this moment, the New Zealand Democrats are turinng much more openly to interest-free loans and, of course, things are stirring in Islam.  Most of my energies are being taken up with Islamic contact etc but the really BIG ONE -- I am trying to tell everybody but nobody seems to be listening -- is to link-up with Kucinich and Sovereignty in an international movement for the use of central bank-issued interest-free loans for the development and spreading  of various forms of productive (and the associated consuming) capacity.  The movement must start with public capital (e.g. to repair America's bridges or an country's bridges, roads etc)

Are you aware that Kucinich has been made Chairman of the Democratic party Committee which is in overall charge of ALL the committees concerned with USA domestic legislation?  Very soon, the Democrats can be expected to have a clear a congressional majority AND a Democratic President so the political situation for monetary reform will be as good as it is every likely to be (but, as I say, the big obstacle is those blackmailing, sinister lobbyists who have huge forces behind them).

I can see an immediate linkage capable of taking place between reform forces in Indonesia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Canada and the USA if successful contact is made with Kucinich who only has to turn his support for small farmers into support for small business and his supptrt for p[ublic capital into support for more public capital -- I refer to enviromental capital projects.  (Al Gore has nothing substantial to propose on theis front)   Goodness me, what an opportunity if people in the UK would make a proepr effort to link up with Kucinich!!

The one who ought to be visting the UK (but he is immensely busy) is Kucinich.  Or rather, we should be visting him.  A year ago I spent much time and energy trying to persuade the American binbary economists to spend two days with Kucinich -- YES, TWO DAYS -- at the American Monetary Instittute conference in Chicago which we knew DK was attending.  It's always a small affair -- forty people at most -- and all you need is a cup of coffee and a doughnut and you can talk to anybody, speak in the workshop session etc etc.  In those circumstances you cannot fail to get at least one good opportunity to get the message acrosss to somebody who (and this is rare in politics)  really does understand the monetary reform issue.  But those American binary economists refused!  They refused!!

So I am once agan telling everybody that the BIG ONE is to get involved with Kucinich and colleagues to develop something  half or more of which which they already want to do.  It's as simple as that.

And the prize, of course, could be leadership of a huge international movement in circumstances (Moeen, we all agree) could soon be of a coming financial crash.

> Hi Rodney,

> Your points are valid. His diagnosis and prescription is unique in terms of depth, passion and comprehensiveness. It spans his two main websites at http//larouchepac.com and 
> http//larouchepub.com. The bottom is that he believes that there is an urgent need for a new financial architecture devised with the economic powers to replace the Bretton Woods framework. Is vehemently opposed to what he refers to the AngloDutch financial oligarchy which he argues continues the Venetian-Norman axis of medieval times. He stresses that Bush is being manipulated by the Cheney-Schultz-Felix Rohatyn cabal.

> However, his views on fiat money, interest free loans for productive capacity and public control of the money supply need clarification. It is time that he was invited by the monetary reform movement to the UK e.g. perhaps the Bromsgrove group or Parliamentarians for that matter. It is time for real time engagement with him.
