Why the statue of Gen. Albert Pike in 
Washington must be destroyed
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

{The following is the keynote speech that Mr.
LaRouche delivered on Sept. 5 to a conference of the
Schiller Institute and International Caucus of Labor
Committees, in Vienna, Virginia. The speech was delivered
by audiotape, since Mr. LaRouche, an independent
presidential candidate, is currently a political prisoner
in Rochester, Minnesota federal prison.} 

   In part, what I have to say, I would rather have
said by a dear, ill friend of ours, Allen Salisbury, who
was working on this subject back in the middle 1970s and
later, and who, I assure you, would be here to deliver
part of this today, but for his illness. Much of what he
would have said, would have been shared from the podium
with Anton Chaitkin, who I'm sure will fill in for Allen
on such points as well as he can--and he can, I assure
you, do a good job. 
   In the city of Washington, D.C., there is a statue of
one of the most evil men of the past two centuries, a man
known, according to the statue, as Gen. Albert Pike. Gen.
Albert Pike was a racist, a traitor to the United States
on behalf of the British monarchy, and a general
degenerate--meaning he was also a professed Satanist. In
addition to being one-time head, supreme commander, of the
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the southern states (i.e.,
the head for a while of what became the Confederacy, a
treasonous agency), he was also, with the backing of a
President, Andrew Johnson (implicitly condoned by that
President), the founder in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1867,
of the Ku Klux Klan. He was at that time a citizen of the
state of Arkansas, but was unable to go back there because
of the horrible war crimes which he had perpetrated during
the Civil War. 
   That statue sits in Washington, as Tony Chaitkin will
explain to you, maintained at taxpayers' expense by the
U.S. Department of Labor. It sits there, since the time of
Teddy Roosevelt's coronation as President (Roosevelt
himself being the son of a treasonous family, the
Bullochs); it sits there, facing what is today the largest
concentration of black population in the United States.
The founder of the Ku Klux Klan. 
   And now we hear, from the hypocritical Justice
Department and others, including the B'nai B'rith--which
was a co-founder of the Ku Klux Klan and also works with
it to this day--that they are concerned about racism and
the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan organization, in
conjunction with B'nai B'rith, the pro-slavery faction of
the Jewish community in the United States since the
beginning of the 19th century, essentially, but especially
since the 1840s, has recently been active in sending Ku
Klux Klanners and neo-Nazi spin-offs of Ku Klux Klanners
into present-day Germany, where, together with a
British-sponsored group, called Skinheads, they are
parading around and causing violence or directing the
violence, in the name of what are called neo-Nazis. And
Lawrence Eagleburger, who is closely tied to the backers
of the Ku Klux Klan, has written a strong de@aamarche
recently to the German government protesting against the
spectacle of neo-Nazism in Rostock, Germany, a phenomenon
which is in large degree sponsored by British and American
intelligence services, making use of phenomena such as the
British Skinheads and the American Ku Klux Klan/neo-Nazi
groups. 
   This is not only an insult to the black citizens
of Washington, D.C. and elsewhere; it is also an insult to
our allies and friends abroad; it is generally a travesty,
an obscenity in the eye of the Almighty God himself. 
   I, naturally, as a candidate for President, am going
to propose that the statue be removed, and I would
suggest, perhaps, that Governor Clinton of the state of
Arkansas, who is proprietor of those concerns now, might
wish to have the statue taken back to his state to be
destroyed officially, or perhaps, if he's reluctant,
Albert Gore from Tennessee might have some claim to the
statue, since Nashville, Tennessee was the site of the
founding of the Ku Klux Klan. He might want to take it
back to Nashville and have it destroyed there. 
   But in any case, whoever does it, I think it's time
to have that statue removed, to take that Ku Klux Klan
organization off the taxpayers' rolls and remove it from
Washington, D.C., and have it done before the November
election. 
   The statue of Pike has several other significances.
I've mentioned the fact that the Ku Klux Klan, which was
originally an enterprise of British intelligence to
destroy or disable the United States from within, has been
used by those same circles today, or their descendants, to
cause troubles in the United States and to run dirty
operations in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. So it has
continuing historic significance; it's not merely a
{symbolic} insult to the black population of the United
States and to all who are patriotic supporters of Abraham
Lincoln and his cause; it's very much an active problem
today. 

     - The strategic significance of the Civil War -
   I want to emphasize the importance of that statue and
what it represents. We in the United States fought three
wars against the British monarchy. First, the war for our
independence. Second, the war to crush both the British
monarchy and traitors from Boston and elsewhere inside the
United States, who were conspiring with Britain to take
away our independence--the War of 1812, so-called. And the
third war we fought explicitly against Britain, or the
forces directed from Britain, was the Civil War, the
bloodiest war in our history, relatively speaking--a war
which, according to explicit statements by a traitor who
was then head of the Democratic Party, August Belmont, was
launched by the British to the purpose of splitting
the United States into several parts, so that it might be
easily demolished by British imperialism. 
   Let me just indicate what that means. 
   We were saved by the aid given to Lincoln by the Czar
of the Russias. About 1862-63, we were in a perilous
state, although it had been demonstrated that once we got
rid of the traitors such as General McClellan from the
Union command, and brought in some honest patriots, such
as Grant and Sherman and similar people, the United States
Union would win the Civil War, if left alone, without
outside support for the Confederacy. The British were at
great pains to rescue their Confederate operation, and
planned, through Lord Palmerston, together with Lord
Palmerston's personal puppet, Napoleon III of France, to
deploy British and French naval forces--possibly with the
aid of some Spanish forces the way they did in order to
put the Hapsburg, Maximilian, in power with his bloody
regime in Mexico--to break the Union blockade of the
Confederacy and thus to force the Union to the point that
Lincoln's government would have to accept the independence
of the Confederacy, thus effectively splitting the United
States not merely into two parts, but into several, thus
accomplishing the effective destruction of the United
States by this fragmentation of the North American
continent. 
   It was at that point that the Czar of the Russias,
Alexander II, intervened, with his naval fleet sailing to
New York and San Francisco under sealed orders, to make
war on the British and the French under Napoleon III--the
first Entente Cordiale--in the event that the British and
French forces should act to attempt to break the blockade
of the Confederacy. He also threatened to make war
throughout Europe, a threat which was communicated to
London, to Lord Palmerston, and to the grandfather of
Bertrand Russell, Lord Russell, and, of course, to the
British puppet, the French catamite Napoleon III--or I
should say, political catamite, Napoleon III. 
   So Russia, in a sense, saved the United States--not
entirely, but it assisted us. As a result of that, an
alliance was developed which involved Russia, Germany, the
United States, and others--an anti-British, anti-Napoleon
III alliance (or against those sections of freemasonry
which were behind Napoleon III)--an alliance which was
committed to propagating what was known as the American
System of Political-Economy throughout this planet, as a
means of bringing about freedom and an end to an evil
system which had come to a dominant position during the
course of particularly the 18th and 19th centuries. 
   This was represented on the Russian side not only by
Czar Alexander II, but by a minority of the Russian
aristocracy and civil service, centered later around Count
Sergei Witte, also a collaborator of the great Dmitri
Mendeleyev, the founder of modern physical chemistry with
his periodic table. 
   The Russians of this group around Sergei Witte,
worked with certain forces in France, notably a force
associated with Gabriel Hanotaux, the famous French
foreign minister, and with forces in Germany and
elsewhere, to attempt to bring about an alliance,
cooperation, among France, Germany, Moscow, and Japan, to
break the British grip on China, while using railroads and
other infrastructural programs to develop all Eurasia as a
continent of fraternal economic cooperation for the
general good. This was a project which was not only
spiritually allied to the American System, but was allied
to the American System in other ways. 

                 - British subversion -
   The British rightly saw these developments--Lincoln
and the allies of the United States in Germany and in
Russia--as the greatest threat to the British design for a
one-world empire based on those philosophical views which
were expressed by such representatives of the American
southern freemasonic group in particular, as Albert Pike.
The British shot Lincoln for the purpose of bringing into
the presidency an Andrew Johnson, who was a pliable puppet
of British pressures and British policies. 
   Andrew Johnson promoted the restoration of the banned
southern Confederacy--that is, the southern freemasons,
the B'nai B'rith, which was a banned organization, a
treasonous organization, so banned because it was a
treasonous agent of British intelligence, and also the
Knights of the Golden Circle, which was reconstituted by
Pike as the Ku Klux Klan of 1867, under the implicit
patronage of Andrew Johnson, a man who should have been
impeached, as the great Thaddeus Stevens attempted to do
so. 
   With the assassination of Lincoln and the bringing
into being of the Johnson administration of the 1860s, the
United States was subverted, through the Specie Resumption
Act and other measures, and brought around toward a
Confederate point of view, to the point that today, the
chief justice of the Supreme Court, William Rehnquist, is
not only an admirer of the Justice Taney of the notorious
Dred Scott decision--a man who in fact was implicitly a
traitor to the United States from the Supreme Court
bench--but also admires the principles of the Confederate
Constitution and hates the principles of the federal
Constitution which he, together with Justice Scalia and
others, is doing so much to destroy absolutely in this
country today. There is no essential justice in the United
States today. 
   In point of fact, what is going on is a form of
fascism in law derived from the teachings of the evil
John Locke, a worse kind of radical positivist fascism in
law than we encountered under the influence of Karl
Schmidt in 1920s-30s Germany. 
   As a result of this British plot, we have fought two
world wars. The British again went to those forces in
France around Theophile Delcasse@aa which represented the
same tradition in freemasonry as Britain's earliest
political catamite, Napoleon III. This relationship
between the British political sodomites and the French
political catamites of that species, was called the
Entente Cordiale. The Entente Cordiale was used to drown
all continental Europe in its own blood, an operation
which is known as World War I. 
   When Germany, in the early 1930s, moved in a
direction, under a chancellor by the name of von
Schleicher, which tended to revive the policy of
cooperation which Witte had sought, the British
intervened, with support from the Americans, to force upon
Germany not only the overthrow of von Schleicher, but the
installation of a British and American puppet known as
Adolf Hitler, whom certain forces in this country and in
Britain much admired because, in their explicit
language--the mother of Averell Harriman, for
example--they admired his racial purification policy, a
policy which they fully shared. 
   {Why} are the British and the Americans deploying
American Ku Klux Klanners and British Skinheads and so
forth, into Germany, to give rise to what is called a
neo-Nazi movement? Why are they doing that to Germany? Why
are the friends of Henry Kissinger, such as Lord
Carrington and Lawrence Eagleburger, unleashing and
seeking to inflame further, a civil war in the Balkans?
And believe me, Eagleburger and Carrington typify those
forces which are responsible for starting and continuing
this war. They have sabotaged every effort to bring the
area into a peaceful state, in order to ensure the success
of the Serbs. It's still going on. 
   Why have these forces assisted in inflaming wars in
the Middle East? Why have they assisted in inflaming the
Transcaucasus? Why are they working with Zbigniew Brzezinski
again, of course, to enflame all Central Asia in what
might potentially become a nuclear war? Why are they
working to inflame a war potential between China and India
over Kashmir and other issues? Why are they doing these
evil things? Why did they do the things they've done to
Somalia, and to the rest of Black Africa--and that is
deliberate, that is not an accident, that is not
negligence, that is {calculated evil}--why have they done
these things? Is it because they fear what Lincoln
represented and what Count Sergei Witte represented? In
part.                   

                 - The deeper conflict -
   What's the issue? It's not simply a question of a
British Empire or, today, an Anglo-American one-world
system. That's only a superficial issue. 
   In the course of this conference, you will see part
of that deeper issue addressed, that for 2,500, 2,600
years, European civilization has been engulfed in a primal
conflict which has gone on continuously to this point, but
which will not continue forever. It will come to a final
resolution. And the time for that resolution is rapidly
approaching. 
   For 2,500 years, there has been a conflict between
the patrons of the evil Aristotle and the faction of
republicanism, which became absorbed into Christian
European civilization, a faction of republicanism which is
typified in Greek history by such figures as the great
reformer Solon of Athens, the man who banned usury in
Athens, and the greatest statesman of all time to date,
the great Plato, the scientist and statesman whose work
has been absorbed into the essential features of
Christianity, as a contribution toward our Christian
civilization. 
   Out of the work of Plato, under the guidance of
Christianity, there developed in Europe the greatest
civilization this planet has ever known. One can show this
by simply looking at a chart of the growth of population,
European and world population, since the middle of the
15th century, since the time of the Council of Florence.
The unleashing of new forms of statecraft, the unleashing
of what became modern science, the unleashing of a
revitalized Christianity, at least for that time, caused
the greatest florescence in the development of
the human mind, and the development of the productive
powers of labor, which this planet has ever known. 
   Unfortunately, that European civilization did not
come only with its Christian form of Platonic enterprise.
It was also burdened with something from the East, the
heirs of the patrons of Aristotle. And the center of that
evil was the Byzantine Empire, which is better known as
the last remains of the Roman Empire. The Byzantine
Empire, whose outpost of evil was Venice. And from Venice
came institutions of usury, institutions which imposed a
system which we call oligarchism, upon the West. 
   Since the time of Solon at least, the fight within
European civilization has been against oligarchism, which
is, essentially, wealthy, usurious institutions, such as
the Cult of Delphi in ancient Greece, or the Lombard
bankers in relatively modern times, or the case of
Meshulim del Banco, whose descendants are known as
Warburgs, who gave us the Federal Reserve System in the
United States and the federal income tax system as we now
have it; who gave us also what is called Marburg
neo-Kantianism, or neo-Platonism, which is another form of
intellectual evil sponsored by the Warburg Institute. 
   These typify creations (and they're not the most
important ones, but very important ones), of this Venetian
influence. These are the oligarchs who believe in usury,
who believe in what is called free trade today, which is a
method of destroying an economy, which has done very well
in destroying the U.S. economy over the past 25 years, as
well as the British rubbish-heap of today. 
   That's been the conflict. 
   To understand the way this conflict is shaped in
modern times, one has to go back to Pike, not as an
individual, but as a typification of a group of racist
traitors and degenerates called the Confederacy, typified
today by the thinking of the chief justice of the Supreme
Court, as well as the Ku Klux Klan, which tried to destroy
the United States on British behalf and under British
direction in the 19th century. Lincoln's alliance with the Czar of
the Russias, in defeating that imperial plot from London,
set into motion the kind of hysterical efforts on the part
of the British-centered imperial forces, and those who
resisted them, which has dominated the entirety of the
past 130-odd years. 
   To understand anything of the history of the past
130 years, to understand any of the underlying issues
which confront us today, we have to understand two things.
We have to understand immediately that 130 years of
American and European history
since General Pike. That is the key to understanding Central
America, South America, and so forth, immediately. 
   We also have to understand the larger context: 2,600
years of European civilization engulfed in a mortal
conflict between two absolutely irreconcilable foes: the
followers of Aristotle, typified by the Venetians, of whom
you'll hear something in this conference, and who were
typified also by the Confederacy; and the Christian
followers, especially, of Plato. 
   We have reached the point that we must recognize that
conflict, and bring it to a conclusion very soon. We must
eliminate the oligarchical system from European
civilization, eliminate the tradition of Aristotle and
things that come under that tradition; and restore in
Europe the full promise of a Christian civilization
congruent with the great Renaissance, launched by such
figures as the great Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa of the
middle of the 15th century. 
   We must launch a rebuilding, not merely of the
material means of existence--we can do that. We must
launch a rebuilding of the individual person, through
appropriate forms of education, compulsory education for
everyone, to give everyone the means to participate in the
building of society. In addition to educating everyone, we
must also provide the opportunities for every person on
this planet to do useful work, consistent with the
development of their mental powers. And we must eliminate
the possibility forever, of a recrudescence of what is
typified by that evil statue in Washington, D.C., the
statue which I've proposed must be removed and destroyed,
the statue of that racist traitor and Satanic degenerate,
Gen. Albert Pike. 

   This statue is not only an insult to the
black citizens of Washington, D.C. and elsewhere; it is
also an insult to our allies and friends abroad; it is
generally a travesty, an obscenity in the eye of the
Almighty God himself.
