LaRouche briefs ’Russia Today’ TV News:
Egypt upheaval as symptom of global collapse
2 February 2011
Jan. 31 (LPAC) — Russia Today, the government-backed English-language Russian TV channel, today broadcast a live interview with Lyndon LaRouche in their 11:00 p.m. (Moscow time) news roundup. After reports from an RT reporter in the streets of Cairo, including speculation about foreign support for an overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the anchorwoman turned to LaRouche for clarification. The video segment is the last item on this website page of Russia Today. Russia Today preceded the video of its interview with LaRouche, with this quote from him: "We are not dealing with a problem which is caused by interference in countries. There are many meddlers in this process, the British in particular—very actively meddling in this situation, but that’s not what the cause of the problem is." The transcript of the LaRouche interview segment is printed below. RT: More on all this, has chief political activist and founder of Executive Intelligence Review magazine Lyndon LaRouche. Many thanks for joining us here on RT. Now, some of Egypt’s opposition members have their headquarters in London. Why there, particularly? LYNDON LAROUCHE: Well, you’re not dealing with a problem which is caused by interference in countries. There are many RT: Well, looking further at this outside involvement now, the U.S. has always backed President Mubarak, and now, Britain is harboring people who are fighting for him to step down. So, how likely is it, to draw a wedge, do you think, between London and Washington over what’s happening in Egypt? LAROUCHE: Well, there is a certain sense, in that you have the Secretary of State of the United States, Mrs. Clinton, is playing one policy, which I think most people abroad, in the world, would favor. But the President of the United States, who is nothing but a British puppet, with some mental problems, is actually making the crisis worse. We have an internal crisis in the United States, as a result of the current President’s economic policy, which is a continuation of his predecessor’s problem. RT: All right, Mr. Lyndon LaRouche, many thanks for your thoughts there. Political analyst and founder of Executive Intelligence Review magazine, speaking to us there about what’s happening in Egypt, at the moment. Many thanks. |
