I POLITICAL ECONOMY I

To Save the World Economy: Get Rid of Rockefeller

by Dave Goldman

April 5 (IPS) - Throughout the key sectors of the world economy, chaos is breaking loose in response to the psychotic breakdown of the Rockefeller financier faction. For the first time in 30 years, no directives are en route to the economic center� Europe and Japan from David Rockefeller's bunker at One, Chase Manhattan Plaza. In response, the capitalist leader­ship on both shores of .the Atlantic, confronted by a life-and­death crisis, is turning into a pack of uncaptained, unpaid mercenaries.

David Rockefeller now bears the same relation to his closest factional allies that Da Nang's ARVN marines bore last week to President Thieu. There is one .quick and sure-fire way to prevent these uncontrolled ele­ments from devastating the in­dustries and farms of the ad­vanced sector: get rid of Rocke­feller! We can then proceed to the emergency measures required to prevent the bewildered capital­ists from doing harm to us and themselves: an orderly process of debt moratoria in the United States, and the creation of a ruble-based trading area for Western Europe and Japan.

No Money In the U.S. sector, the crisis in

the financial markets has swamped plans for labor-inten­sive energy projects, the modern equivalent of military production and road-building in the Nazi economy. Last week, Chase Man­hattan demanded that $1.2 trillion pour into these pyramids during the next ten years, without com­menting on where the money would come from. This week, the oil multinational Texaco had to withdraw a $300 million bond issue from the gasping credit markets, because funds were not available for "priority" ven­tures.

Offshore oil drilling on the Atlantic shelf, praised by State Department energy under­secretary Enders as his only "source of encouragement" in recent weeks, is dead, as com­panies let drilling leases expire without once piercing the ocean floor. Enders told IPS that "we may have to" finance the fascist pyramids directly through the state, but admitted that this would close off credit to the private sector, aggravating the economic collapse. Citing the central element of Nazi financial p o l icy , E n d e r s p r o p o s e d "measures to increase the over­all amount of savings in the economy," i.e., depleting wages on behalf of a state investment fund. But the Undersecretary admitted that no Congressman had yet dared put this forward . "Many of the Europeans and Japanese have less problem understanding this than some Congressmen," Enders com­plained.

Wall Street has written Project Independence off. No huffing and puffing from David's Chase Man­hattan or Nelson's Domestic Council will mitigate the collapse of the bond market and project financing, or the worldwide glut of oil that threatens to break the cartel oil price.

The Rockefeller faction, how­ever, still hallucinates the hyper­inflation of Germany, 1933; the credit markets, on the other hand, experiences the hyperin­flation of 1923, when the Weimar government ran four printing plants twenty·four hours a day to meet its currency needs. Treasury Secretary William Simon, as reported last week, is aghast at this development. Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns. a Nixon appointee, has had a stomach full: last week, the Fed refused to pump money into the credit markets, which have been overpowered

during the last two weeks by the Treasury's massive borrowing needs. The result was the virtual' shutdown of the bond market, corporations' last source of funds for the repayment of short-term debt. Terrified of hyperinflation, both Simon and Burns recom­mended that President Ford junk the tax cut.

Finding themselves headless, American capitalists are now debating the need to throw out the Rockefeller clique.

Dogfights But Western European capital­

ists, accustomed to marching orrl",rs from New York and Washington, are on the verge of a psychotic holocaust. Review the activities of the men now responsible for the European economy:

The Financial Times of Lon­don, the Trilateral-Commission­controlled "authoritative" voice of British finance, attacked President Ford for inflating the U.S. economy too rapidly in its April 4 editorial, and attacked French President Giscard in its editorial Friday for not reflating fast enough! France is a critical market for British exports, and British companies are panicked at the thought of losing it.

Britain's economy is now in such hopeless shape - it has exhausted its last available foreign loan - that even the fascists cannot agree on what do do with it. "Fascism with a human face" specialist Tony Benn, the British Minister for Industry, is blindly piling to­gether a huge state industrial sector with crisp pound notes from the presses of the Royal Mint. Yet the Paris-based Organ­ization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which the State Department claims is the one operative body for inter­national economic planning, has screamed at Britain to stop government spending before the -

British currency is worth less than the pulp it's made of.

In France, meanwhile, Finance Minister Fourcade is caught between the small and medium­sized industries, which account for the great majority of Fran­ce's production, for easier credit, and the diehard Rockefeller supporters of the Banque de Paysbas in Paris, who denounced, Fourcade's piddling moves towards easier credit as infla­tionary. But the Trilateral scum at the Paris banks disagree with the Trilateral scum of the London Financial Times. France's third

, largest bank, the Credit Lyon­nais, dragged an unwelcome piece of reality into this dis­cussion with its annual report for 1974: the bank took massive losses during the year due to loan defaults by bankrupt French firms.

Where France's own corpora­tist projects are concerned, the giant Fos-sur-Mer development project on the Southern coast is idle due to the 40 per cent drop in worldwide steel orders, and the largest producer of nuclear reac­tors, Creusot-Loire, is staying in business by selling steel to the Soviet Union.

Reality, meanwhile, has struck the West German capitalists, in the form of a cut in exports in two figures for the second month running. They are hysterical. In

IPS Weekly 2

th�ir discussions, East-West' trade. development projects in the Mideast. the export prospects of their Leopard tank, and,' whatnot are tossed about -anything to reverse the 60 per cent loss in German steel orders! Echoing Simon and Burns, Bundesbank president Karl Klasen has carefully considered the threat of hyperinflation looming from across the Atlantic, closed his eyes. and said, "No!" Pushed nut of policy-making by the Rockefeller agents in the Schmidt government, the central bank is taking a quiet revenge by sitting on monetary expansion. In response. the Finance Minster, Schmidt protege Hans Apel, has publicly threatened to can the legally-independent central bank if it wants "confrontation rather than cooperation" with the finance ministry. This political swill is put before the German public. althoug h Apel under­stands that an economy like West Germany's, dependent on ex­for 25 per cent of its output cannot alter the course of economic events without settling the trade question.

C h r i stia n D e m o c r a t i c economic spokesman Otto von Menges expressed the fears of the German capitalists in an interview wit h IPS. He admitted freely that the Rockefeller fac­tion was in a panic. and that the implication!. included the econ-

omic destruction of Europe and possible nuclear war. But he demurred, "We have a very keen interest here in Europe that America should stay calm in this situation, and we should not at this moment raise a question of mistrust ... 1 trust they will find their own interest beyond all this psychological panic."

While the West Germans, and other members of the crumbling Rockefeller periphery in Europe, desperately hope for a stateside miracle, the U.S. State Depart­ment is relying solely on its political leverage through direct puppets like Schmidt. Said a high official. "The Germans have had a handful of firms dependent on business with the Soviet Union, but this does not determine over­all policy. Handlesblatt says that (U.S. policy is out of control) because they're right next door to these firms."

By themselves, the European bourgeoisie will continue to waver until the last European assembly line grinds to a stop. The American capitalists will indulge in idiotic dogfights until the 1930s depression looks like a spring picnic. Destroy the Rockefellers, institute the' emergency measures required on both sides of the Atlantic to restart productive investment. and economic policy can again proceed on the basis of sanity.

NEW YORK. April 6 (IPS) - In a press statement issued today by the Mexican Federal Security Po­lice. and broadcast this evening on Mexico City television. kid­napped leaders of the Latin American Labor Committees (LALC). Carlos de Hoyos Perez. Carlos Mendez Trujillo and Hector Apolinar Iribe were charged with being "self-confess­ed members of the International Caucus of Labor Committees." The press statement identified the ICLC's programmatic goals of international development and human renaissance and stressed that the ICLC is not Maoist or T r o t s k y i s t b u t M a r x i s t ­Luxemburgist. The release stressed the international scope of ICLC operations. The police­issued release also announced that the ICLC has 80 members in its Mexico City local. and that the Federal Security Police know where they all are.

This public statement repre­sents a victory for the working class. Rockefeller and his intelli­gence agencies have been forced to repudiate their policy of "containment" of explosive Labor Committee international

. influence, a policy connoted by circulating slanders to the effect that the ICLC is CIA and CIA financed, thereby admiting to the world that the Labor Committees cannot be contained without r e c o u r s e to p o l i c e s t a t e m e a s u r e s. T h e k i d n a p p e d leaders are simply charged with being what they are - members of the ICLC. Rockefeller and his mercenary forces have identified the International Caucus of Labor Committees and the Inter­n a t i o n a l W o r k i n g m a n's Association because those organizations embody a pro­grammatically unified force for policies of human development -and have therefore signalled their intent to move openly in police state forms of repression against Communist Parties and left-Social Democrats throughout the world.

We warn, however, that the

4/8/75

gloves are now off. Rockefeller is now prepared to unleash his occupying mercenary forces in witch-hunt-style activities in every corner of his unholy em­pire. Current developments in Mexico were unleashed by Rockefeller's West German Social Democrat Willy Brandt who paraded his anti-Communist in a speech in Mexico, March 22nd. Mexico now stands on the verge of bloody developments towards military dictatorship.

Brandt has returned to Europe to implement similar atrocities there. Already Labor Committee organizers in Brussels, Frank­furt, Rome, Milan, and Turin have been subjected to coordi­nated. unprecedented open police attack. The statement by Mexi­can Federal Security Police is a signal to the likes of Willy Brandt to implement his bloody commit­ment to the policies of the earlier leaders of the Second Internation­al: Noske, Ebert, and Scheide­mann, who preceded him down the path of atrocity and witch­hunt.

Rockefeller and his allies now stand poised in desperation to repress those who provide a focus for developing opposition to the implementation of their genoci­dal Schactian "new world econo­mic order" through a return to nuclear brinksmanship provoca­tions against the Soviet Union.

The CIA's Press Statement

What follows is a transcript, prepared from notes taken by Mexico City LALC members who heard the TV broadcast. of the police-prepared press statement on de Hoyos, Mendez, and Apoli­nar broadcast tonight over Mexico City television:

The Federal Security Division has put Carlos Arturo de Hoyos. Carlos Mendez Trujillo, and Hector Apolinar Iribe, at the disposal of the Federal Justice At t o r n e y - t h e l a s t o n e representative of International Press Service and in charge of gathering information for the organization. Carlos Mendez Tru-

. jillo is in charge of collecting all information and Carlos Arturo de Hoyos is the main leader of the organization.

This organization (LALC) consists of 80 members who have already been located precisely. Among their files were found annotations on Political Econo­my, Agriculture, Military Zones, Guerrilla groups, Student move­ments. Labor organizations in which they have detailed the economic situation of the country (Mexico) , the localization of industries, production, etc; on the military, their regional loca­tion, their commanders and the activities carried out by the army throughout the country.

The detained confess them­selves to be members of the National Caucus of Labor Committees, with headquarters in New York, and declare that their financing comes from that city and from the sale of the newspaper Nueva Solidaridad and their theoretical magazine Boletin Internacional. Nueva Solidaridad is published in nine languages and they are located in Japan. Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Mexico and several U.S. cities and are now forming a local in Bogota. Colombia.

They declare they are aiming for worldwide revolution, taking power on a world scale. For this they sustain that what they search for is a unified un­derstanding of the laws of the uni­verse integrating the understand­ing of the political. economic and social phenomena to the under­standing of the physical laws of the universe. For this they state that their principal conception is founded on the knowledge of negentropy and of the ecology as a human science for understand­ing social and physical reality as a whole. They declare them­selves contrary to all the ideolo­g i e s - T r o t s k y i s t . M a o i s t . Castroite. Sandinist, Communist. Socialist - and they declare returning to the theses of classi­cal Marxism following only Marx and Rosa Luxemburg.

The original group that now forms the LALC began as the MPPT (Political Movement of Theoretical Production) (here follows a list of all the names of members of that group(. In Janu­ary 1974 Marivilla Carasco. member of the MPPT. travelled to New York where. at Columbia University. she put herself in contact with the leaders of the LALC and they began to ex­change their opinions and ideolo­gies with the purpose of creating

in -Mexico a local of the LALC. Subse quently in May 1974 Marivilla Carrasco. Victor Gar­cia Mota. and Cecilia Soto Gonza­lez travelled to New York to con­tinue exchanging their doctrines. This group. the MPPT. was dedi­cated to an intensive study of Leninist-Marxist theses. Later all the memhers of the ex-MPPT travelled and they returned to establish in Mexico a local of the LALC. The indoctrinators of this organization. Patricio Estevez

Nenninger and Cecilia Soto Gonzalez, are now in Colombia. erecting another local of the LALC.

The secretary general of this international organization is Lyn Marcus. whose real name is Lyn­don H. LaRouche. and the leader of the LALC in New York is Fernando Quijano. a North American. born in Bogota, Colombia. who now lives in New York.

I SPECIAL FEATURE

. USLP Presidential Statement LaRouche Letter to U.S. Congres�

Beirut, Lebanon April 5, 1975

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Rarely in modern history has a body of legislators been challenged by problems and responsibilities of the devastating quality and global scope of those now confronting the United States Congress. Unless Congress lives up to the magnitude of this rare historic conjuncture and acts immediately to remove from public office Vice President Nelson Rockefeller and his accomplices, Congress will be forever obliterated within weeks of its return from the 1975 Easter recess.

The State of the Union at present is as follows: Under the Rockefeller Family's grip over key posts in the present Admin­istration, the United States of America finds itself in the midst of modern history's gravest economic depression with ab­solutely no domestic and no foreign policy.

Since the psychotic collapse of the United States' puppet regime in South Vietnam. whose reverberations have been felt throughout the glohe. this country has been left without a foreign policy of any sort whatever.

Throughout Latin America. Africa. and Asia, a wave of "destabilizations" is

sweeping out various client states and puppet regimes. All evidence indicates that these operations are coordinated by the Central Intelligence Agency and similar agencies whose policies are known to be determined by the Rockefeller Family.

In Western Europe. large faction� of industrial and financial interests are in a

state of shock at the profound in­competence of the United States Admin­istration to deal with the present world economic and political crisis.

In domestic' fiscal policy and inter­national monetary policy, the political faction under Nelson and David Rocke­feller, with the collaboration of criminal accomplices Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Senator Hubert Humphrey, Senate Minority leader Hugh Scott et al. have embarked on a reckless course of domestic and international economic destabilization. The fundamental feature of this policy is the maintenance of debt service payment on debt held by the Rockefeller Family and their factional allies. For the economy of the United States this has resulted in an uncontrol­lable growth of both the Federal debt and the nation's money supply while every municipal, state, and corporate entity in the country is verging on bankruptcy.

The Rockefeller Family hopes to pass part of the burden of these vast inflation­ary rates and deficits on to Western Europe and Japan. It is presently applying intense political pressure to the govern­ment of West Germany to commit itself to an annual inflation rate of 400 per cent in order to support the parity of the dollar!

Simultaneously, the value-content of this dollar is rapidly approaching near-zero levels. Currently reported rates of real production collapse in this country are now equaling and exceeding the rates recorded during the 1933-37 collapse of U.S. produc­tion. The U.S. Labor Party's economic speCialists, whose competence and author­ity has been repeatedly demonstrated to you on a number of occasions, have deter­mined that this catastrophic course is bound to drastically accelerate in the spring and summer months ahead. By this fall and the winter of 1975-76, this course will lead to the most devastating world­wide bust, if the country is allowed to blindly follow the policies implied in Presi­dent Ford's April 3 public utterances!

The present Administration under Rocke­feller's grip has neither a domestic policy, nor a foreign policy. nor an inkling of overall economic policy. The citizens of this country know this to be the case. Practically every government in the world knows this to be the case - and is ad­justing its policy accordingly. The more the implications of this knowledge spread, the more untenable the position of the Rockefeller faction in government becomes. This is the kernel of the events of the past two weeks, a process which has been considerably accelerated by the collapse of the puppet regime in South Vietnam.

The Labor Party's Executive, delib­erating upon information received con­cerning a March 31 meeting of David Rockefeller. Henry Kissinger, Dean Rusk, W.W. Rostow, Averil Harriman, Cyrus Vance, McGeorge Bundy and other well­identified members of the Rockefeller cabal, determined that the Rockefeller familv had embarked on a reckless course of th�rmonuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Rockefeller cabal chose this policy as the only way of shoring up its crumbling political po s ition s inter­nationally.

On April 3. we made public our findings of this "Endgame" brinksmanship to Congressional offices and government officials both in this country and to govern­ments t.hroughout the world.

On April 4. we received evidence which proved conclusively that the Rockefeller faction was already moving quickly to

create the political conditions for an im­mediate thermonuclear "chicken game" with the Soviets. We also received circum­stantial evidence which shows that the leadership of the Soviet Union feels obligated, for reasons of its own political survival, to absolutely refuse to back down in the event of forced thermonuclear confrontation.

As we have repeatedly warned the country and Congress itself over the past 18 months, the Rockefeller family, having reached a politically untenable position, is now ruthlessly driving toward the thermo­nuclear destruction of the human species for the sole purpose of maintaining itself in power.

This is the precise extent of the world­historical crisis that now confronts the United States Congress. Unless men and women in Congress marshall the political courage and moral quality to immediately begin proceeding for the impeachment of Nelson Rockefeller, of Senators Hubert Humphrey and James Schlesinger. this country and the human race will rapidly be faced with thermonuclear destruction.

In claiming that the Rockefeller Family presently acts on the clinically insane motivation of its lust for personal power, the Labor Party stands on an unblemished record of solidly vindicated political predictions since January 1974. The Labor Party claimed then that the whole sordid Watergate episode was a destabilization operation carried out by the Central In­telligence Agency, the terminal objective of this operation was the establishment of direct Rockefeller control over the Ad­ministration. The blatantly unconstitu­tional fashion in which CIA Director William Colby is currently refusing to collaborate with Senator Baker is ad­ditional evidence corroborating our own independent findings on this matter.

The fact that Richard Nixon's political demise resulted in Nelson Rockefeller's ascent to the Vice Presidency - and his present near complete command of the Presidential Cabinet - constitutes the most powerful ex post facto vindication of our earlier predictions. My own testimony before the Sentate and the House of Representatives during the Rockefeller confirmation hearings is now vindicated both with respect to Rockefeller's in­competence in matters of actual policy and with respect to the profound im­morality of his personal character.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the country now is in the unmitigated mess which we had warned you would come about as a result of Rockefeller's ascent to office. The citizens of this country know that we had warned you.

Now we are obliged to warn you once again, and to warn the citizens of this country also: Unless a rigorous campaign is undertaken to banish Rockefeller and his accomplices from public life, Rocke­feller will publicly crush Congress within weeks. This collapse the electorate will not

IPS Weekly 6

fail to see. You possess all the facts to know how

ruthlessly Rockefeller is commited to this policy. You have all watched Rockefeller's best identified underlings Senator Hum­p h r e y a n d S e n a t o r S c o t t m o v e against the Senate and against Congress during the last fiscal debate. You all know that the "blame" for the loss of Vietnam is coming down on Congress and that Viet­nam is intended to be used as a Mc­Carthyite "China" scare to beat you to comply with Rockefeller's nuclear brinks­manship.

Unless Congress moves'now to dismantle Rockefeller's grip over the Administration and over Congress, the first disaster to follow will be the pulverization of Congress and the end of Constitutional Democracy as the country has understood this term in the last two hundred years.

Rockefeller must pulverize you now in order to make his thermonuclear madness seem as though it were the national policy of the United States rather than as the private commitment of the Rockefeller Family. Unless this political precondition is established he, as he well knows, will not be able to command the loyalty of those top military officers whose collaboration is indispensable for his thermonuclear "chicken game." Therefore, at this juncture of history, a

political struggle to avert a worldwide thermonuclear tragedy coincides with the political struggle to avert the destruction of Congress.

My advice to you is that there is only one way of conducting this struggle and this is unqualified and tenacious counter­offensive for the purpose of impeaching Rockefeller and his principal accomplices named above. While I am presently engaged on a fact-finding tour in the Middle East, I have instructed my associates in the leadership of the U.S. Labor Party to be available to you for collaboration and assistance in this matter should you so desire.

Beyond the immediate issue of Rocke­feller's impeachment, the Labor Party is also prepared to assist you in establishing the broad outlines of a rational policy for confronting the major economic, domestic, and foreign .political problems flowing out of the present world economic depression. To merely recapitulate here the general thrust of the immediate programmatic commitments required to remedy the present chaos, I will remind you of the Emergency Agricultural Production Act that we have submitted.

In short, the optimal path for cutting through the present crisis in the shortest possible time is as follows: a precise "surgical" operation to immediately "freeze" all public and private debt for an interim emergency period of 12 to 18 months; the replacement, in the money markets, of this frozen debt by credit in­struments directly based on activities and exchanges aimed at the restoration of

4/8/75

4/8/75

industrial production to full capacity; the expansion of agricultural production to its full, technologically feasible limit in this country and abroad; and the further ex­pansion of capital equipment production capaCities.

With regard to foreign policy, the only rational basis for the United States to re­e s t a b lish f r u i t f u l a n d m u t u a l l y beneficial relations with the rest of humanity is again indicated by EAPA. Once we commit the industrial potential of this country to the rapid development of such regions as the Middle East's Fertile Crescent, the Ganges-Brahmaputra riparian system of Bangladesh and India, the potentially fertile African Sahel and the Amazon and Rio de la Plata regions in Latin America, we will immediately solve our present tragic unemployment problem. At the same time we shall have provided a powerful stimulus for the most rapid rates for sophisticated technological and industrial expansion in this country.

Preliminary feasibility studies and ap­propriate bills corresponding to this programmatic perspective have already been made available to many of you by the U.S. Labor Party. My associates and I will continue to be at your disposal for the further clarification and elaboration of these objectives.

These objectives have the unqualified support of growing masses of working people wherever the U.S. Labor Party organizes. It is these people who are now the prime victims of this economic and political collapse. It is these people who have been your political constituents. They are watching your political conduct in the present crisis and they are considering in growing numbers the necessity that they

themselves must take direct responsibility for the destiny of this country. They are educating themselves in both the dangers and the wonderful opportunities of the present world conjuncture. They know that ultimately it is their humanity and their creative endeavors that are at stake on all key world policy issues.

They know, because we have told them, that this is a moment of great peril and of great opportunity for humanity, and there­fore for the United States Congress as well. This country has the potential to immed­iately move into a period of intense productive collaboration with the world which will absolutely dwarf such petty undertakings as the Marshall Plan. A mere preliminary indication of how ready the world is for such a collaboration is the recent Iraqi and Algerian government proposals in which they indicated a willingness not only to lower oil prices in return for much needed industrial and agricultural development but also to establish a preliminary $35 billion development fund with which to purchase needed industrial goods for the develop­ment of the Fertile Crescent, Bangladesh and the Sahel.

The opportunity for such a brilliant future for humanity is as readily available before us at this moment as the thermonuclear destruction the Rockefeller family is desperately instigating. The United States Congress is standing smack in the middle between these two courses and it has received advice on the necessary course of action: Impeach Rockefeller!

Stop Rockefelier's Endgame Scenario! April 5 - Encroachments and provocations by the increasingly desperate Rockefeller forces could in the immediate period ahead force the Soviet Union into a fight-or-die situation; from a military standpoint. Two possible developments, both coherent with present Rockefeller political developments and high on the list of Rockefeller policy options, are as follows:

1. A provocation in the Middle East endangering the existence of Iraq as a pro-Socialist, pro­Soviet Mideast power;

2. A form of direct U.S. or U.S.­guided interference in Eastern Europe.

In both types of confrontation, the very existence of the Soviet Union would be threatened and a military counter would have to be considered. Strategic consider­ations indicate that a limited Soviet nuclear first strike against N A T O m i s s i l e an d· c o m­munications installations in Western Europe, followed by an immediate tank-led attack and

'occupation of �ey areas of Western Europe, Turkey and Cran would be the most advan­tageous Soviet option.

Under no circumstances can the Soviet Union afford to absorb a Schlesinger-type limited U.S.­NATO "tactical"nuclear first strike against its medium and long-range missile installations. Such a U.S.-NATO "limited" strike would either be aimed at immediate Soviet-Warsaw Pact capitulation or else be a prelude to large-scale U.S. Inter­Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) attack in Phase Two. On the other hand, a pre-emptive strike of the type outlined above would undercut any limited NATO response.

There may be some NATO strategists �ho believe they can c oun ter a combined c o n­ventional, limited nuclear attack on Western Europe with the same type of weaponry - but we need not concern ouselves here with the more stupid of our enemies. It is generally conceded- that through the Fulda Gap, Soviet and Warsaw Pact tanks would reach the Rhine in a matter of hours and force NATO troops into defensive positions in the Low Countries and the Brenner­Trieste area.

There is little douht that th�

IPS Weekly 8

strategic necessity of a pre­emptive Soviet move in response to Rockefeller provocations in Western Europe and the Middle East is understood bv at least some NATO-Pentagon strategists as the optimal Soviet move, putting NATO and U.S. forces in the area into indefensible positions.

These same strategists well know that confronted with the imminent possibility of a Soviet pre-emptive strike. their only strategic choice would be a counterforce ICBM first strike of the kind indicated by Schlesinger et al. Ina series of press briefings and speeches between January­May 1974: a massive strike against the bulk of immovable Soviet ICBM installations mixed with scattered strikes against Soviet population and industrial centers.

Faced with a "counterforce" nuclear first strike by the U.S. against their missile silos vulnerable to such an attack, the Soviet Union would be forced into a "d o oms d a y m a c h i n e" response; that is, as soon as a significant number of ICBMs show up on their early warning radar screens, they would care­fully aim and fire their ICBMs at North American industrial and populations centers. Both the Soviet Union and North America would be eliminated, and significant parts of Eastern and Western Europe would be des­troyed. Only Latin America, Asia, and Africa would have sur­vivors.

The ICLC presents this inter­locking scenario of nuclear moves and countermoves (or "endgame" strategy) to make indisputably clear to everyone where the poliCies presently em­barked on by the Rockefeller clique must lead. It is no longer a matter of Rockefeller policies preCipitating a nuclear holocaust in the long-run; cabal poliCies, if allowed to continue, must con­verge on such holocaust in the immediate period ahead.

This is indicated in particular by Rockefeller's recent call to service of such veteran Cold Warriors as Walt Rostow, insane McGeorge Bundy, and others res­ponsible for the Southeast Asia developments in the past decade. Hundreds of thousands of lives were iost and some of the richest

agricultural countries in the world were destroyed. Rostow, at this point - no matter how per­verse his sense of achievement -would have to regard his life a failure if he had to give up exactly as Vietnam is lost to the U.S. empire. Driven by des­peration, Rockefeller appears to be determined to give him another shot at "victory" - on a world scale .. '

In the not-too-distant future, Rockefeller policies will force the hand of conservative and reac­tionary forces, which will favor conventional war rather than nuclear holocaust. A co n­

servative, right-w ing U . S. General might react to a Rocke­feller nuclear first strike order by simply pulling the gun on the honorable Vice President. Whether or not this occurs, Rockefeller's endgame policies can only force a right-wing isolationist military dictatorship in the United States immediately.

This insanity must be stopped. We must confront Congress and the American people with the following choices:

1. Be part of playing out the above scenario to the end and follow Rockefeller-Rostow down the path of nuclear destruction for the human race;

2. Sit back and hope that right­wing layers in the military will take a stand, thus preparing the way for a military dicatatorship .

3. Stand up in the House and Senate right now (or demand that your elected representatives do so) and demand the immediate recall or the impeachment of those politiCians whose policies -through a mixture of stupidity and criminal intent - are bringing the world ever closer to nuclear disaster.

We name specifically Nelson A. Rockefeller, Vice President of the U.S.; Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State; James Rodney Schlesinger, Secretary of Defense; Senator Hugh Scott. top Rockefeller enforcer in the Republican Senate Minority; and Senator Hubert Horatio Hum­phrey, chief Rockefeller stooge in the Senate Democratic Majority.

These individuals must im­mediately be removed from o f f i c e a n d t h eir policies repudiated before disaster en­sues as the outcome of their criminal pursuits.
