George Shultz Lies on the SDI, Endorses Obama

In an interview printed in the Christian Science Monitor on April 14, George Shultz, the man who dismantled the Bretton Woods System under Richard Nixon and launched Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's fascist Operation Condor along with Felix Rohatyn, endorsed British puppet President Barack Obama's current nuclear-weapons-reduction policy as a continuation of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), which was authored by Lyndon LaRouche.

In the interview, Shultz praised Obama: "President Obama has been doing a terrific job.... He is doing an excellent job. He has put the vision out there and keeps it out there.... The conference of world leaders on securing fissile material is the right thing to do."

But what Obama and Shultz are pushing is hardly the same as the SDI policy authored by LaRouche and adopted by Reagan. In fact, there is no agreement today between the U.S. and Russia on joint anti-missile defense based on advanced physical principles to render nuclear weapons obsolete.

The best way to see the actual intention of Shultz, is to recognize that to this day he continues his fascist collaboration with Felix Rohatyn in advocating what can only be described as a return to "neo-feudalism," in the form of privatization of the military, as we see today in Afghanistan and Iraq, and as was carried out in the 14th Century Dark Ages in Europe, where decommissioned soldiers formed mercenary armies during the lapses in the 100 Years' War.

As EIR magazine reported in the March 31, 2006 issue, it was George Shultz's Princeton Project on National Security, of which he is co-chairman, the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs at Middlebury College, and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, which jointly sponsored a conference promoting "The Privatization of National Security," at the Middlebury College campus in Vermont in October 2004. The purpose of this conference was to launch a drive to eliminate the sovereign nation state by outsourcing to private multinational corporations, virtually all national security and military functions, including all non-combat and some core combat functions of the military itself.

This concept of a return to the policies of the British East India Company are entirely at odds with the policy of Lyndon LaRouche in defense of the sovereign nation state and the promotion of scientific cooperation among sovereign nation states.

Since LaRouche is the author of what Reagan called the SDI, he is in a better position to understand Reagan's policy than George Shultz. LaRouche is the expert. And everything that LaRouche has fought for has been opposed by George Shultz. In that sense, George Shultz is lying and can fairly be termed a lying son-of-a-bitch.
