The potential of Lausanne can be compared to that of the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty, which allowed the world to turn away from the brink of thermonuclear confrontation as seen during the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962, and to enjoy the benefits of war avoidance between the thermonuclear superpowers USSR and USA. What is shaping up now is the biggest foreign policy debate in US politics since `the rejection of the League of Nations after World War I. Do not let the GOP Congress of scoundrels and adventurers scuttle Lausanne, and place this country on the path to a general Middle East war and possible world war in the service of their sordid ambitions.
Last Thursday seven British Party leaders met in a televised debate. Those present included Cameron for the Tories, Miliband for New Labor, Clegg for the Liberal Democrats, Farage for the xenophobic UK Independence Party, and Natalie Bennett for the Greens, plus Scottish and Welsh regional parties. Natalie Bennett of the Greens (photo) claimed that hers is the main anti-austerity party. But while the Greens may oppose certain forms of fiscal and wage austerity, they demand a ferocious energy austerity which is every bit as destructive, especially when combined with de-industrialization and the rejection of vital infrastructure investments.
So far as is known, the only candidate standing for the May 7 elections in any of the UK’s 650 election districts who rejects both fiscal/wage and budget austerity is Stuart J. Hooper of South Basildon and East Thurrock, Essex. Hooper wants a trading tax or financial transfer tax on the transactions of the City of London banks to replenish the Treasury. He also proposes the nationalization of the Bank of England to provide several trillion pounds sterling of national credit to fully fund the National Health Service build attractive, modern housing units, and rebuild Britain’s depleted infrastructure.
