(EIR Strategic Alert) - The last few weeks have been characterized by a profound change in the dynamics of global politics. Worldwide, the population rebelled not only against hunger and food price increases, but also against injustice, corruption, oppression and reactionary elites in power. Why, ask, should we accept conditions that rob us of our future?
In 2008, the hunger riots that swept 40 countries were mainly protests against the exorbitant prices of food. In 2011, the riots in North Africa and southwest Asia, but also the recent mass rallies in Wisconsin and Ohio in the United States against the attempt to destroy the unions, are the result of the collapse of global financial system. The people understand that without the freedom in the republic, there will be no food, no hope for the future.
from Algeria to Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bahrain, until to Wisconsin and Ohio, is an ongoing revolutionary process. Dictatorships and totalitarian systems that have been tolerated for so long are now being rejected, and people are willing to risk their lives to make them fall, when these schemes are incapable of guaranteeing the basic needs of the population. While this process is spreading internationally, the world is faced with two opportunities: either sink into chaos and the new Dark Ages, or replace the financial system with a bankrupt banking system, separating the legitimate from the banking and speculation gambling.
Attempts by the G20, to save the banking system into bankruptcy with the bailouts and the continuous acquisition of toxic securities that are not pumping liquidity into the same system other rotting. But money given to speculators is "invested" in the speculation on raw materials and foodstuffs, leading to uncontrolled price increases.
As requested by Helga Zepp-LaRouche in a statement of 20 February, to prevent price inflation causes uncontrollable political and social consequences "must be immediately adopted controls on food prices and energy, as well as a global standard as Glass-Steagall. " This will protect the commercial banks by resetting the securities business of banks and quarantining the "shadow banking system" denounced by the Commission Angelides the U.S. Congress.
