Election Certification Showdown in the Congress
The effort by supporters of President Trump to decertify slates of electors for Joe Biden in a number of battleground states will take place in both the House and Senate today, as large crowds of Trump supporters are mobilizing outside.

As the Congress takes up its Constitutional task of certifying that the slates of Electors chosen by the states were chosen fairly and under the law, the Washington Post has called for ripping out of the Constitution the articles which define the mandates given to Congress and to state legislatures to protect the sanctity of elections.
Read moreThe Fight for Truth in the American Elections Is for the World
Not many media outside imperial London would be arrogant enough—even after what they believe to be their successful coup against President Donald Trump—to publish a lengthy editorial entitled, “An Overhaul of U.S. Democracy”; with a kicker that the United States cannot be allowed a 2024 presidential election under the present Constitutional system of the republic. Abolition of all the inconvenient American Constitutional practices was published as orders to be carried out through a “high-level commission,” to be created by low-level Joe Biden in “one of his first acts.”
This was done by the Washington Post Sunday on Jan. 3 with a follow-up editorial the next day on the same subject. The Post for decades has been a newspaper voice and leak sheet of the U.S. and British intelligence services; now, under increasingly interventionist ownership of world’s richest man Jeffrey Bezos, it is also speaking for the intersection of giant IT companies like Amazon with the military-industrial complex in the post-9/11 “surveillance state.” It demanded:
Read moreAssange Extradition Denied, But a Presidential Pardon Is Needed
British Judge Vanessa Baraitser today rejected the extradition request of the U.S. government for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and ruled that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States where he might commit suicide in prison, Kevin Gosztola, managing editor of Shadowproof website, reported on Twitter and Jaclyn Diaz on NPR today. Judge Baraitser set a bail hearing for Wednesday, Jan. 6. The judge accepted essentially all of the U.S. Justice Department's charges against Assange lock, stock and barrel, and even implied he could be charged under the British Official Secrets Act as well. All involved understand that a pardon by President Donald Trump is the only way to end the physical and mental depression of Assange’s health under indefinite imprisonment, which caused Baraitser’s surprise denial of extradition. Perhaps she got the message that the UK wants to kill Assange itself, rather than having him commit suicide in the US, or potentially be pardoned there.

The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute today hosted a powerful virtual Town Hall meeting with representatives of the state legislatures and activists from four of the states in which the presidential election is contested, and others, presenting evidence of the massive vote fraud and irregularities in the election, and discussing the profound impact of this fight for the future of the nation and the world. The forum was part of a mobilization of concerned citizens to create a Citizens Commission for Truth in Elections, which will hold a founding conference on Jan. 17. As expressed by the moderator Dennis Speed of the Schiller Institute in opening the Town Hall meeting, the stealing of the Nov. 3 election is not only a threat to Donald Trump’s reelection, nor even simply to the U.S. Constitution, but a threat to civilization, to determine—in the words of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War regarding the American System experiment—“testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.”
Read moreAn Inflection Point in Building a Movement
Saturday’s explosive meeting of the LaRouche movement was an incredible breakthrough, showing how LaRouche’s vision can draw together political leaders, community activists, and thoughtful citizens representing various constituencies, around a higher concept of statecraft and mankind. In the process comes the great joy of discovering, together, a higher concept that subsumes the various causes that have prompted people of conscience and courage to commit themselves to. That dialogue shows how the Wednesday, Jan. 6 historic developments in Washington, D.C. can serve as an inflection point in building a political constituency for LaRouche’s far-reaching ideas and policies.

Pennsylvania State Rep. Russ Diamond and a group of other legislators from that state are raising the possibility that no presidential electors will be sent from Pennsylvania to Congress on Wednesday, Jan. 6. This follows from their conclusion that the sweeping extent of the voting irregularities, and the illegal, non-legislated nature of the electoral procedures, the winner of the election is simply unknown.
Rep. Russ Diamond: Pennsylvanians Still Don't Know Who Won the Presidency
Senator Cruz and Members of Congress Speak Out Against Certifying Biden Victory
Appearing on the Maria Bartiromo show this morning, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, who assembled a group of 11 GOP senators to object to the certification of the Nov. 3 election and propose a ten-day audit of the election, supports withholding certification of the electors from half a dozen states, until such an audit is completed. Responding to polls showing a large portion of U.S. voters who believe there was fraud during the election, Cruz expressed his disappointment that the Supreme Court declined to take cases from Pennsylvania and Texas, denying that forum as a way of resolving the issues presented. Therefore, he reasoned, the Congress has a responsibility to determine whether the election was properly conducted.

Update: British judge denies U.S. extradition request for Julian Assange! Beginning with the verdict to be announced today on whether Julian Assange will be extradited to the U.S. to stand trial on charges of violating the Espionage Act, events this week will go a long way toward determining which way the U.S. is headed in the New Year.
Read moreLaRouche On Reconstituting Ben Franklin's Republic
"Today, civilization is threatened by a spreading and deepening crisis far more ominous than that mastered by Benjamin Franklin and his collaborators, but the underlying issues remain essentially the same; the methods for combatting this crisis remain also essentially the same.” Lyndon LaRouche’s observation, made 37 years ago on Dec. 31, 1983, is eerily appropriate for the present moment.
