LaRouche Returns To Italy Nov 22-25, 2023

Nov. 27 -- Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche told distinguished audiences in Milan, Italy last week, that Europeans must keep up the pressure to stop the Iraq war, which has now been stalled by effective action by the institution of the U.S. Presidency. After describing his own role in helping effect that result, LaRouche elaborated on how Europeans, especially Italians, must draw on their tradition in launching the 15th century Renaissance, in order to create a new economic revival, based on expanded trade with Asia.

On Nov. 22, LaRouche spoke to the press conference put together for him by the Association of Catholic Press, which was held in the Caritas office in Milan. On Nov. 23, he addressed about 200 people at a conference on “The Demand for Security in Europe,” organized by the Casa d'Europa (European House), a national organization of entrepreneurs, professionals, and politicians, which deals with issues concerning Italy and the European Union. LaRouche was one of three guests of honor invited to speak, with European Commission President Romano Prodi and well-known sociologist Giorgio Galli.

LaRouche stressed in both addresses, that the war against Iraq had been avoided, although it is still possible, through the action of the institution of the Presidency. He noted the prominence of the role of the U.S. military, current and retired, in acting to prevent the war, and the role which he himself played, in articulating the conditions under which war could be delayed. He said:

"So, what happened is, the people in the institutions accepted my argument. My argument became the following three points. We can stop the war that no one in Europe or the United States wants, if we do three things: We must first put the issue into the United Nations, because we have to have the world have a voice in this. Secondly, we must get Saddam Hussein to accept that agreement. Then, we must get the President of the United States to accept the United Nations' acceptance of Saddam Hussein's acceptance."

LaRouche also emphasized that the war danger still remains, through the faction of "Chickenhawks" in the Administration. Thus, Europe must keep up the pressure, so that the institution of the Presidency can effectively contain those determined to go to war.

Lastly, the Presidential candidate argued that the only way peace can actually be established, is through Europe taking action to resolve the bankruptcy collapse of its own, and other economies. He said,

"Europe is bankrupt. Europe is not now employing and producing enough people to sustain its own existence materially. The financial system is collapsing. The economic system is being crushed by the collapse of the financial system. Europe's only chance is to open up large markets for exports into places like Asia. You see this in this part of Italy: The export activity of private and small industries from here, is key to Italy's income abroad. The only important increase of Germany's exports, is China.

"So, like the Treaty of Westphalia, Europe and Asia must reach an agreement on the {mutual need for cooperation and development of Eurasia, as a whole.} The United States must accept that, and cooperate with it. The nations of Central and South America must be freed from the destruction, which the United States is imposing upon them. And together, we must stop the genocide, and reverse the genocide, in Sub-Saharan Africa, which is primarily Anglo-American intentional genocide, against the population of Sub-Saharan Africa.

"The solution, therefore, to the economic and to the war dangers, like the Treaty of Westphalia, requires, in a sense, that the nations of the world come to love one another, to find this love expressed in programs of mutual cooperation."
