Editorial 64 World War III Closer Than the Elections EIR Feature NEW BRETTON WOODS: Russia’s Role In a Recovery1 by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. August 20, 2008 ————————————————— A fraudulent representation of the Franklin Roosevelt Bretton Woods system was recently launched at Modena, Italy, by a pair of seasoned turn- coats, Jonathan Tennenbaum and Paolo Raimondi. The targets of their fully intended fraud included both important Russian scientists and nota- ble Italian political figures. That pair of hoaxsters, who had gone over to the proverbial “other side” during recent years, represented a small, London-oriented circle of hoaxsters which have put themselves out for sale in search of hire and fame to be supplied by British Euro-oligarchical intelligence circles. The method by which that pair of hoaxsters perpe- trated their fraud on the Russian and other guests, was passing themselves off, flagrantly, by representing themselves as being currently associated with me. A significant number of participants in that Modena event have since expressed shock at discovering that fraud perpetrated upon them by the particular rascals Tennenbaum and Raimondi.

As indicated by its subtitle, this CC:INFO product is a directory of delegates and observers having attended the second or third sessions of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or any of its subsidiary body meetings in between (COP2-COP3).

INTRODUCTION The growth rate of social networks users compared to the same period a year ago (1April 2012 – 1April 2013) found that Facebook has a 24% growth, while Twitter has a growth of 53%. More impressively, YouTube has a 125% growth and Instagram has an amazing 178% growth (Zocial Rank, 2013). Interestingly, the viral diffusion of information through social media has a far greater capacity to reach the public than traditional media (Keller, 2009).

    THE WORLD FOOD PRIZE 2019 Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium “Pax Agricultura: Peace Through Agriculture” October 16-18, 2019 - Des Moines, Iowa TRACKING THE TREND LINES: REGIONAL PROSPECTS FOR PEACE AND CONFLICT Panel Moderator: Mr. Joseph Jones October 17, 2019 – 11:15 a.m.-12:05 p.m. Introduction Ambassador Kenneth M. Quinn President - World Food Prize Foundation For all the innovations that we do they have to be done in a stable climate. Conflict is such a critical threat to everything that is going to occur. And having peace through agriculture is an absolute essential. So is it going to be a peaceful world, or are we going to be facing continued threats and upheaval. So I've invited four of my former colleagues from the State Department, four of the most distinguished ambassadors, career ambassadors with whom I worked, for whom I have such enormous respect. Collectively, they have been representing the United States as ambassadors in 14 countries. And if we throw in John Negroponte, who’s on the program tomorrow, I think we’re up at about close to 20. So Kristie Kenney, and they’re all career ambassadors, the highest rank and several above what I attained in the State Department. And Kristie Kenney has come. She has incredible experience in Southeast Asia. George Moose, who is a graduate of Grinnell College in Iowa is amazing— He and I went to Vietnam together—but amazing experience in Africa. Nancy Powell, also an Iowan from Le Mars and Cedar Falls. See, I have the two Iowans in the middle here.

    Vol. 3 No. 3 March 2008 Peace Monitor US envoy visits MILF camp SULTAN KUDARAT, Shariff Kabunsuan (Wednesday, February 20, 2008)– US Ambassador Kristie Kenney yesterday visited the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) stronghold in an attempt to re- open stalled peace talks between the government and the rebels’ group. Kenney huddled briefly with key members of the MILF central committee, but told reporters that her coming to Camp Darapanan, now the MILF’s central headquarters, was a “private visit.” She was greeted by MILF fighters in combat uniform and armed with M-16 rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.
