From the Editors: "In mid-July, as the planet was being wracked by growing war horrors in eastern Ukraine, Iraq, and Gaza, and by economic depression caused by the death throes of the entire trans-Atlantic financial system, heads of state representing half of humanity gathered in Brazil and took the first steps toward creating a New World Economic Order." So begins the Feature of this issue of EIR, which brings you the story of the world-historical BRICS summit, whose outcome will determine your future in the short period ahead. Ibero-American Intelligence Director Dennis Small cuts to the core of the issue as Lyndon LaRouche defined it: What is the standard of value in an economy? What the BRICS summit concentrated on was a standard based on raising the productive powers of labor-as opposed to the money standard of the dying trans-Atlantic system. A new, just economic system based on such a standard of increased energy-flux density has been the rallying cry of the LaRouche movement for more than 40 years, as we review. But it remains for the U.S. and Europe to decide to make the same change in values. LaRouchePAC's current drive to make this change in the United States leads our National section. LaRouche's "Four Laws," which start with Glass-Steagall, and the impeachment of Barack Obama must be achieved before Congress takes its Summer recess, LaRouchePAC insists. There is motion in this direction, as we report, but it will take a new quality of uncompromising resolution to achieve victory.We see signs of that quality in support for Argentina in Europe, as our interview with Fabio Porta, an Italian parliamentarian, reflects. Complementing the dramatic BRICS development is our Science & Technology feature by nuclear engineer Ramtanu Maitra, who presents in detail the requirements for achieving real progress with investment in high energy-flux-density power, starting with nuclear fission. The British Empire's threat to destroy this exciting potential is nothing less than genocidal war, as Jeffrey Steinberg reports in our International lead. Every day brings new escalations against Russia and China, regardless of the facts, as befits the evil intentions of the Anglo-Dutch Financial Empire. Fortunately, that Empire's days are numbered, presuming we revive the principles of the American System of economics, which Lyndon LaRouche has championed, and which now nearly half of humanity has begun to adopt as their own.
