Prière de Pie XII pour la France
O Mère céleste, Notre-Dame, vous qui avez donné à cette nation tant de gages insignes de votre prédilection, implorez pour elle votre divin Fils ; ramenez-la au berceau spirituel de son antique grandeur, aidez-la à recouvrer, sous la lumineuse et douce étoile de la foi et de la vie chrétienne, sa félicité passée, aidez-la à s'abreuver aux sources où elle puisait jadis cette vigueur surnaturelle, faute de laquelle les plus généreux efforts demeurent stériles, ou tout au moins bien peu féconds, qu'elle s'unisse à tous les gens de bien des autres peuples, parvienne à s'établir ici-bas dans la justice et dans la paix, en sorte que, de l'harmonie entre la patrie de la terre et la patrie du ciel, naisse la véritable prospérité des individus et de la société tout entière. Amen.
Pie XII

"Printemps dans la Cordillère des Andes" Conférence de Pierre-Olivier Combelles le samedi 13 décembre 2008 à Versailles
PRINTEMPS DANS LA CORDILLERE DES ANDES
Conférence de
Pierre-Olivier Combelles
Samedi 13 décembre 2008 à Versailles
Né à Versailles en 1955, spécialiste du peintre naturaliste John James Audubon (1875-1851) et du Labrador québécois , Pierre-Olivier Combelles vit depuis une dizaine d’années avec son épouse Katia Humala-Tasso (péruvienne et biologiste de formation) et leurs six enfants entre la France et l’Amérique du sud où ils ont étudié la flore des Hautes Andes du Pérou et de la Bolivie, d’abord dans le cadre universitaire, puis dans celui de la recherche française (IFEA). Ils sont notamment spécialistes de la maca (Lepidium meyenii Walpers), une Brassicacée cultivée au-dessus de 4000m d’altitude depuis des millénaires pour ses qualités alimentaires et thérapeutiques, exportée aujourd’hui dans le monde entier.
En 2004, ils ont acquis le domaine de Pitunilla, dans les Andes méridionales du Pérou, à 3000 m d’altitude, où ils se sont consacrés à l’agriculture et à l’élevage et entrepris la réalisation d’un jardin botanique andin. L’inventaire de la flore et de la faune locales, ainsi que celui du site archéologique voisin d’Incawasi, près du lac Parinacochas, ont été l’une de leurs premières tâches. Dans ce vallon du versant Pacifique, la végétation xérophyte est dominée par le molle (Schinus molle, Anacardiaceae), un arbre au feuillage léger et gracieux, des arbustes épineux et des cactus. La plupart des plantes sauvages fleurissent pendant la courte saison des pluies, de la mi-décembre à mars. On rencontre parmi elles, à l’état sauvage, plusieurs espèces ornementales de nos jardins européens comme la capucine et des Solanacées et Bignionacées arbustives.
La conférence Printemps dans la cordillère des Andes propose une découverte de la flore et de la faune de la région de Pitunilla en partant de la côte désertique du Pacifique, depuis la saison sèche jusqu’à la saison des pluies."

"La France est le four où cuit le pain intellectuel de l'humanité"
"La France est le four où cuit le pain intellectuel de l'humanité."
Parole prononcée par le cardinal Eudes de Châteauroux, qui consacra la Sainte-Chapelle, à Paris, en 1248.
Sparte
Je sais tout ce qu'on a dit sur la dureté orgueilleuse de Sparte. ces critiques sentent l'esprit subalterne. Mon compatriote, le maréchal de Bassompierre, recevant des mousquetaires, un jour qu'il était en train de lire les coutumes de Lacédémone, leur dit: "En vérité, Messieurs, je jurerais que tous les Lacédémoniens étaient autant de Chartreux et de mousquetaires."

Leonid Ivashov: Hooray for the Global Crisis!
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2008/3506ivashov_article.html
This article appears in the February 8, 2008 issue of Executive Intelligence Review. Hooray for the Global Crisis!
by Leonid Ivashov This article by Mr. Ivashov, General-Colonel, and President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, was published in Russian, on the website of the Strategic Culture Foundation (fondsk.ru), on Jan. 26, 2008. The translation into English for EIR is by Rachel Douglas. Subheads have been added. See also Lyndon LaRouche's reply. Mankind is watching with alarm, as crisis hits the American and world economies. The G. Bush Administration is seeking a way out of the crisis through war. The President of the U.S.A. has just visited the Mideast, where he attempted to put together an anti-Iran alliance. According to reports received Jan. 25, the members of the UN Security Council have prepared a new draft resolution on Iran. The new version essentially unties the hands of the U.S. President and the Israel lobby in the American Congress for war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. But, will a new war save the world economy and the world's reserve currency? The present model of the world financial and economic system is unipolar, with the ruling pole being the country that controls the world currency. And that nation, in turn, is controlled by the owners of major private monetary fortunes. That is the U.S.A., which functions merely as the instrument of global power and money. The Bilderberger Society's formula says that power is merely a commodity, although it is the most valuable one. Therefore, the wealthiest people should have power. The United States, despite the seeming democracy of its Presidential elections, is under the power of finance capital. Mao Zedong's aphorism, "Power grows out of the barrel of a gun," sounds different today: "Power grows out of the dollar." If the dollar collapses, however, the financier international and the U.S.A. will be compelled to give up their dream of world rule. And without that dream, America will hardly even be able to survive as a unified nation, because the Americans have no worldview, other than the utopia of world rule. Patrick J. Buchanan, former advisor to Presidents Nixon and Reagan, and candidate for the Republican Party Presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996, forecast in his book The Death of the West (Russian edition, 2003) that the U.S.A. would split into three independent nations by the year 2025: one African-American, one Hispanic, and one Anglo-Saxon. Anticipation of a global catastrophe can also be found in the works of F. Fukuyama, E. Wallerstein, S. Huntington, and other well-known researchers. Of course, such a course of events will be a catastrophe for current generations of Americans, just as the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. was a catastrophe for the majority of its inhabitants. What about the rest of the world? The collapse of the U.S.A. and the dollar will cause suffering for all countries that are linked to the world currency and integrated into the global market system. But, aren't those peoples suffering from American effrontery already? Aren't nations losing their sovereignty, while the power elites in most of them serve the interests of global capital, rather than the needs of their own population? Moreover, the very survival of modern civilization is becoming Problem #1 for mankind. Economists, ecologists, demographers, physicists, medical professionals, and anti-globalists warn of this. Thus, perhaps, we ought not to be sorry about the current crisis of the world economy, but rather welcome its collapse and take the necessary preemptive measures? The Meaning of Life
But, first we must understand the essence of today's world order. We must think again about the meaning of life, the place of Earth's civilization in the Universe, and our relationship to God. We must remember Plato's conclusion, that the civilization of Atlantis perished precisely because it stopped communicating with Heaven, and sank into a life of luxury and pleasure. Russian Academicians G.I. Shipov and A.Ye. Akimov have scientifically proven not only the existence of a physical vacuum and of torsion fields, but also the dependency of natural and cosmic phenomena (including catastrophic ones) on the thoughts and worldview principles of mankind, and the state of consciousness of masses of people. A. Einstein also approached an understanding of how the state of affairs on the planet depends on human consciousness. The world system that was constructed after the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. is a hierarchy that presumes one financially powerful country at its head, while the philosophy of life it imposes is strictly tied to the cult of money and pleasure. It is the first time in the history of mankind, that the economy has become so immoral. The philosophy of monetarism is based, as the Russian scholar V.G. Sokolenko put it, on "the idea of a union of money and law, or the so-called capitalist absolute ... against which all the great ideas of the epoch of historical Romanticism, and the social revolutions aimed at improving the organization of society, ran aground. By the 20th Century, rationalistic philosophy and liberalism had brought capital to the point of absolute power over the world." (V.G. Sokolenko, Capitalism's Global Rule, Moscow, 2005). Philosophers, poets, musicians, or explorers of distant worlds are not the ones who set the pitch for people's lives today, but rather financiers and businessmen. Material gain, money, luxury, and power have become the fundamental codes for the great mass of people. The physical-spiritual dualism of the human being is reduced, more and more, to its "body" component alone. Such a human being, however, is neither of use to Nature, nor acceptable to God. Therefore, he is fated to disappear. For man was created in the image and likeness of God, while his physical existence is sustained by his connection with the plant and animal world, and non-living nature. The contemporary model of being, based on the ideology of monetarism, ought to be replaced by cognitive, spiritual being. Therein lies the salvation of human civilization. This can be done, only by passing through the furnace of a crisis of the world financial and economic system, wherein the crisis is a means to deprive the global oligarchy of its real power. Lyndon LaRouche, who has warned repeatedly about the coming collapse, has issued this call: "Rather than continuing the foolish attempts to stimulate the corpse, the United States Government must use its sovereign powers to put its own financial system through bankruptcy proceedings, setting a precedent and providing the context in which other nations can act." Unfortunately, there are no sovereign governments in the U.S.A., Russia, or Europe. To a limited extent, they exist in China, India, Iran, Japan, and other Eastern countries, and in several Latin American nations. The rest are controlled by the world financial oligarchy. Monstrous Inequality
Three hundred and fifty-eight family clans of billionaires have a combined income that exceeds the combined income of 45% of the Earth's population, in dollar terms. The quintessence of this monstrous inequality is the mafia-style oligarchical syndicate, presided over by the wealthiest people on the planet. They determine how processes unfold in the world, while they themselves remain in the shadows, out of the public eye. They also control the bulk of the planet's resources, finance huge illegal armies and NGOs, and have developed networks of influence within the governments and parliaments of most of the countries in the world. That is the pinnacle of the unipolar world. This financial oligarchy is incapable, however, of directing world development. It knows how to make money, seize power, and hold that power for the sake of generating additional profit. Nothing short of the collapse of the dollar pyramid will shake that power. What may be the consequences of a dollar catastrophe? Negative scenario:
