Executive Intelligence Review- Executive Intelligence Review; Volume 42, Issue 12 Published March 20, 2015

From the Editors: Lyndon LaRouche's statement "On the Subject of Germany's Role," which leads this issue, provides the conceptual framework from which every other news or analytical report should be understood: Mankind must reject pragmatic adaptations to today's circumstances, and create his future, according to the universal principles laid out by Johannes Kepler, and like-minded thinkers. Under International, we present the interventions of German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, which LaRouche sees as a potential option to stop the war threat. We then review the strategic crises, ranging from how Obama and NATO are provoking a thermonuclear war crisis, to the attack on the BRICS nations, represented by Obama's slapping sanctions on Venezuela. Tanu Maitra's report on the Indian Ocean diplomacy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi presents a picture of the kind of cooperation among the BRICS nations, which the agents of the British Empire are trying to destroy. We then turn to China, the nation which LaRouche identifies once again, in his statement, as the outstanding example of a nation apply-ing scientific principles of development, capped by its achievements in Solar space. We feature a report on the Chinese People's Congress; an overview of the Maritime Silk Road, past and present; and a presentation at an EIR/Schiller Institute seminar in Denmark by Hu Yi, First Secretary of the People's Republic of China in the Danish Embassy. Under Economics, we feature a full picture of the fight being waged by the Greek government, to fulfill its mandate to end the Troika's killing austerity. The Greek battle is one that will determine the fate of all Europe, and beyond-and you won't find such an indepth report anywhere else in the English language. Greece is seeking to achieve a truly productive economy-not one sinking in the mire, like that of the U.S. (See "The Myth of the U.S. Economy"), or being raped like that of Ukraine. The National section lead reports the third significant intervention against the global crisis this last week, the campaign of former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley for Glass-Steagall. The update on the fight against Britain's historic drug bank HSBC also reveals some surprises. Lastly, we come directly to Kepler, with the second part of the recent discussion by the LaRouchePAC Science Team on his method for comprehending the Solar System, focusing on the Harmony of the World (Science).
