- No Recovery in Sight -

What is the problem? I'm going to come to something that is important to go through. It's essential to go through, because it is scientific. But you've got to understand that what I'm proposing is the solution; you've got to understand the nature of my (scientific) authority in putting these propositions to you. Therefore, I'll come to that.

But first: What, really, is our problem? Why is the world in a mess? Why is Europe disintegrating economically? Why are all the Americas disintegrating? Look to the South. We made a {coup d'etat} recently against Fujimori in Peru. It was a coup made in the interests of the drug-pushers around George Soros. It's that simple. We are destroying Argentina. We are trying to destroy Brazil. We have destroyed Colombia, with our toleration-for-drugs policies. Yes, we have anti-drug policies, but we don't enforce them because too many people have got too much money involved in Colombian drug trafficking. We have a lunatic--I speak frankly--in Venezuela, Chavez. I don't know if he was brainwashed when he was in prison, or not, but the man's a lunatic. And to this point, Venezuela--which is, among its other qualities, crucial to the United States in terms of our oil supplies--is now disintegrating under this man, who's obviously mentally disturbed. I think that the new President of Brazil is probably making a heroic effort to try to get to some kind of accomodation with this character to calm the situation down, but that's the situation. Mexico is on the verge of being crushed with the collapse of this so-called NAFTA system, which has been a disaster for Mexico.

So the entire Hemisphere is going. The United States is going. Right now. It's not, when is the crisis coming? It's here! It's here right today; you can get it all over the world; it's now! It's not something that's about to happen. And there's no recovery in sight, and never will be, under the present policies.

How did this crisis happen? How did we get into this mess, in Europe, genocide in southern Africa.... How did we get here?
