In 1996, after his release from prison following a conviction based on fraud and lies aimed at silencing him, internationally renowned statesman Lyndon LaRouche spoke of the explicit danger to the American republic, if the perpetrators of this gross injustice were not stripped of their arbitrary authority.  "We have an out-of-control Justice Department in my view," he said, "where the rot is not in the appointees as much as it is in the permanent bureaucracy.  We have a permanent sickness in the permanent bureaucracy of part of our government.

The failure of the Democratic Party to accurately count the votes cast in the Iowa caucus, which is the first test of the candidates competing for the party's nomination to run against President Trump, has made it into a national embarrassment, and an international laughingstock.  The final count of the caucus, which took place on February 3, has yet to be released, as of February 14.  Given that the total number of participants was only about 176,000, how is it possible that the final figures remain unknown?  President Donald Trump ridiculed the party, asking how Americans could trust it to run the largest economy in the world, when it cannot even properly count the number of votes cast in a gymnasium?

The acquittal of President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment by a vote in the U.S. Senate on February 5 should free him to pursue the urgent, dramatic strategic policy changes which led to him being targeted for a regime change coup, by those defending the Bush-Obama status quo.  That status quo, which Trump pledged to overturn during his election campaign, included a commitment to remain engaged in the "endless wars" launched by Bush and Obama, and to continue the global free trade agenda, and its related anti-growth "Green" policy, which have been dismantling the manufacturing and agriculture sectors in the developed nations.  Sticking to this degenerating status quo was the policy of Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated.  In particular, it was his oft-stated commitment to work with Russia and President Putin, rather than engage in escalating provocations against Russia, which earned him the special enmity of top intelligence operatives in the United Kingdom and the Obama team, and their stooges in the Democratic Party, who were behind the "Russiagate" investigation and "Ukrainegate" impeachment against him.
