EIR December 9, 1988 Science & Technology 21 TIillFeature Forces rally to fight Bolshevism worldwide by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. The memorandum printed below was issued on Nov. 18, 1988, under the fulltitle, "A Worldwide Anti-Bolshevik Mobilization Is Now in Progress." A call, for the rallying of groups and individuals, to fonn a worldwide anti Bolshevik resistance movement, was issued internationally during the week of Nov. 13-19, 1988. A copy of that declaration's text appeared in EIR , Nov. 25, 1988, Vol. 15, No. 47. The call was issued by a fonner U .S. presidential candidate, the author of this report. The author's actions were motivated chiefly by the following several considerations. 1) A cascading series of developments, centered around Soviet orchestration · of the forced resignation of the President of West Gennany's Parliament, Herr Philipp Jenninger, demonstrates that the strategic situation within the NATO alliance has deteriorated to the degree, that civilizationcan no longer be defended without the worldwide mobilization of an effective fonnof anti-Communist resis tance movement. This must be a movement prepared to resist by aid of the methods fairly described as those of People's War. 2) Some key elements of such a resistance movement alreadyexisted , but were not mobilized as an effectively unified force. The overwhelming majority of potential recruits were not actively mobilized in any fonn . Therefore , the call for such a mobilization must be issued as widely as possiblethroughout this planet. 3) It was most desirable that such a call be issued by an internationally promi nent public figure of the United States. That figure should be a person whom the Communists at the highest level have repeatedly identified as their principal ad versary in this world, and who is himself a target for earlyelimination by powerful Soviet accomplices in the West. This person must also be an internationally prominent public figure. This must be a figureassociated with the fightfor justice for all nations and peoples. This figuremust be a personwith political qualifications in insurgency and counterinsurgency. 22 Feature EIR December 9, 1988 Helga Zepp-LaRouche and the author, Lyndon LaRouche, pay their respects to the martyrsof the German Resistance flgainstHitler, at the Berlin memorial, in October J 988. 4) At this moment, the author is the person who best act in obedience to clear signs of the Creator's Will.

He must act only to accept the Western Christianity.

In the following portions of this report, it will be shown that the forces against which our cause is arrayed are the forces of avowed satanism. To fight such a foe , it is urgent that, in the minds of ordinary men and women of good will, the enemies of God and humanity wear plainly upon their foreheads the Mark of the Beast. Thus, the prospective mar tyr must act to ensure that his martyr's blood were written upon the foreheads of those who are complicit in murdering him, that that stain on their brows shall be known among men as a sign, the sign which is the Mark of the Beast. Like a soldier in battle, but in a much more profound sense, no cause as awesomely sacred as that before us can prevail, unless it is led by those who respond in that spirit to the prospect of early martyrdom. If and whenever that might be the case, such persons must meet the challenge with ac tions which set the stain of their own blood, as the Mark of the Beast, upon the brow of the enemies of God and human ity. For all Christians, the image of Christ's acceptance of his Crucifixion, for the sake of God's love toward all mankind, is the light which shines upon the path we must walk when facing the satanic forces of the First, Second, and, that would be Communist world regime, Moscow's Third Roman Em pire . The author's personal position in these matters affects the published call in a twofold way: First, as a defender of Western European Christianity, he regards those benefits which Christianity has bestowed upon the best moments and institutions of European civilization, as a gift bestowed upon those of European culture for the Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. by Albrecht Durer.

EIR December 9, 1988 Feature 29 Throughout the postwar period, the functioning of the U.S.S.R.'s economy has depended absolutely upon a critical margin of looting of the wealth of occupied Eastern Europe . Soviet military expenditures, including those for Admiral Gorchkov's fleet, were increased to no less than 17% above official Western estimates, already during the Carter admin istration period. Beginning 1982, the rate of Soviet military expenditures, in real, physical terms, was accelerated to much higher percentiles of total Soviet and East bloc physical ex penditure. What was done in both Eastern Europe and the Soviet economy itself, to support this buildup, was what Soviet economist Evgenii Preobrazhensky, during the 1920s, de fined as "socialist primitive accumulation." Except for the machine-tool sectors of East Germany and the Bohemian region of Czechoslovakia, Eastern Europe was looted to the degree that the affected economies reached the threshold of a downward, physical breakdown spiral during 1988.

The issue is: Is Demjanjuk"Ivan?" testify on behalf of Demjanjuk. Wagenaar writes on p. 148: This question is crucial for three reasons. "Another argument put to me by many people is that if First, obviously, if John Demjanjuk is not Ivan, then an Demjanjuk is not Ivan, he is still a Ukrainian, who probably innocent man has suffered unbelievablehumiliation, and will served the Germans in another way. Therefore , it would not now likely be executed, unless an international mobilization be a terrible mistake to convict him, and any effort to defend could cause Israeli justice authorities to show clemency. him would be a waste." Second, if the kinds of perversion of usual and accepted Wagenaar comments: "This argument has nothing to do procedure that have gone on in this case are allowed to bring with scientific viewpoints.
