*** From [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tomasz Iwanowski) > PRESS RELEASE > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------ > > LaRouche Committee Denounces > Polish Press Lies > This press release was issued Dec. 28, 2004 by the LaRouche in 2004 political > committee. > > Beginning in December, leading Polish media have run an unprecedented slander > campaign, directed against U.S. Presidential pre-candidate for 2004 Lyndon H. > LaRouche, Jr. and the Schiller Institute. The slanders, which were published > in, among other places: Trybuna online, Gazeta Polska, Zycie Warszawy, and > Rzeczpospolita, referred to statements which had been made by Konstanty > Miodowicz; former head of the UOP counterintelligence, Kzystztof Janik, > Minister of Internal Affairs; and Bronislaw Komorowski, former head of the > Ministry of National Defense. Using as a pretext the so-called Lepper issue > (which falsely claimed that Andrzej Lepper, the leader of Samoobrona,
was > politically built up and financed by the Schiller Institute.) the slanders made > wild claims against LaRouche personally, and his wife Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the > founder of the Schiller Institute. > > In reaction to this campaign of lies, the committee supporting Lyndon H. > LaRouche Jr.'s campaign for U.S. President in 2004 has issued an international > press statement, which denounces the lies and slanders directed against > LaRouche as "false," while underlining that anybody telling such lies.."against > all public record.."is acting with "reckless disregard for the truth." > > The eruption of slanders against LaRouche in Poland coincides with the outbreak > of major turbulence in the global financial system, which is totally bankrupt, > and collapsing under a gigantic mountain of unpayable debt worldwide. The > rapidly unfolding developments in Argentina.."which, in order to protect the > welfare of the nation and in defiance to the neo-liberal policy of > international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund > (IMF), has just declared a debt moratorium on its $132 billion foreign > debt.."may set a "precedent" for similar developments that may soon occur in > Poland, which is facing a major financial crisis, as result of the systematic > policy of deregulation pushed by the IMF. > > In May 2001, LaRouche addressed a seminar in the Sejm (Poland's parliament) on > the principle of the "General Welfare." He became known both in Poland and > internationally for his precise economic forecasts and his alternative program: > a "New Bretton Woods monetary reorganization" as well as the "Eurasian > development plan." Those who spread slanders and lies against LaRouche in > Poland are playing into the hands of "foreign interests," which are centered > around political figures such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, and are being used as a > tool by Wall Street interests. The fanatical American geopolitician Brzezinski > would rather plunge the world into a New Dark Age.."a new "Clash of > Civilization/Thirty Years' War," than lose power over a dying financial system. > As LaRouche stated in his presentation in the Polish Sejm in May, should Poland > choose his New Bretton Woods and Eurasian Land-Bridge policy, it could function > as a crossroads in the greatest economic, infrastructure, and social > development program in history. By contrast, Brzezinski and his puppet-masters > on Wall Street and in London would like to see Poland, once again, become just > one more battleground in their "Clash of Civilization" scenario. > > One wonders what is the connection of these slanders to the growing concerns > over the collapse of Poland's currency, the zloty? > > Brawl Over Central Bank > Independence In Poland > Two parties in the ruling Polish government coalition, the Socialist Workers > Union (UP) and the Peasant's Party (PSL).."which had invited Lyndon LaRouche to > hold a seminar at the Sejm (Parliament), last summer.."have introduced a bill > into the Sejm, intended to limit the independence of the Polish Central Bank, > currently led by ultra-monetarist former Finance Minister Leszek Balcerowicz. > The biggest party in the Polish government, the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) > of President Alexander Kwasniewski and Prime Minister Jerzy Miller, has not yet > made up their minds on whether they will support the bill. > According to the Poland's constitution and the current law governing the > Central Bank, the bank is responsible for the stability of the currency, and > for fighting inflation. The proposed bill wants to include responsibility for > the fight against unemployment and for economic growth among the Central Banks > tasks, with a higher priority than monetary stability. It also aims at > enlarging the number of Central Bank Councillors, which would allow the > government to effectively put a leash on Balcerowicz, who has been strangling > Poland's economy with an insane high-interest rate policy. This attempt, to > legally oblige the Central Bank to abide by the common good, was rejected by > President Kwasniewski, as a breach of the constitution and a undue infringement > on the Central Bank's independence; but, apparently, parts of the SLD, > including Prime Minister Jerzy Miller, would rather support the bill. > > Obviously, the limit at which monetarist policies are no longer tolerable, has > been reached, which may explain some of the vicious slanders circulated against > LaRouche and the Schiller Institute in Poland. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
