CALIFORNIA, Oct. 17 (EIRNS)--CAMPUS NAZIS AT UCLA PROMOTE MASS MURDER.

On Monday, the same day that the LYM had a rally and mass-distribution of the "Is Joseph Goebbles On Your Campus?" at UCLA, an evening event was held on campus to show that the answer to that question was YES.

A lecture titled "Destroying Islamic Totalitarianism: The West's Moral Imperative, featured Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute. According to the Daily Bruin newspaper
( 10/17/06), Yaron suggested that a way to defeat these regimes (Islamic totalitarian regimes) is to kill up to hundreds of thousands of their supporters. He said only resurgence in the pride for Western civilization can help the West defeat those Islamic states. He added that the killing would shrink popular support for extremist ideas to a small minority of the population, as opposed to the 40 percent Brook says are supporting the regimes now.

Brook was invited onto the campus to incite violence and mass-murder by the usual suspects. Co-sponsoring the event was UCLA L.O.G.I.C. (Liberty, Objectivity, Greed, Individualism, Capitalism) and the Bruins for Israel. LOGIC in known for having been intellectually pulverized by LYM members during a campus public-debate last November. The chairman of LOGIC, who participated in that debate, is Kenneth Hurst, who is also the Associate Editor of the neo-con Bruin Standard.

These campus Nazis are a small group of people who overlap various appendages of the same beast. David Lazar, who is the Publisher of the Bruin Standard is also listed (by UCLA Student Groups) as one of the three students representing the Bruin Republicans. He served as their Vice-Chairman last year, and their official campus web-site features photos of club members shooting various weapons at a local firing range. One photo shows a bullet-ridden Communications Studies pamphlet authored by a UCLA professor. The Bruin Republicans actively promoted the LOGIC event for Yaron Brook. (Mark Calney)



U. OF CAL. SAN DIEGO PHYSICS PROFESSOR JORGE HIRSCH WARNS THAT
"VOTING REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER IS VOTING TO WAGE NUCLEAR WAR'' ON IRAN.

Hirsch, who has led a campaign by physicists against the 2002 Nuclear Posture Review and related pro-nuclear-use policies, issued a documented warning that if the Republicans are not defeated in November, then the US will likely go to war with Iran "before President Bush leaves office.''

Lyndon LaRouche said that the Hirsch assessment, and his concerns and proposals, are, for the purposes of policy making, without getting into detail, fundamentally correct.
On North Korea, Hirsch writes that "the nuclearization of North Korea only helps the plan to nuke Iran, which is why the administration did everything it could to encourage it.''

He argues that the Rumsfeld "transformation'' policies of downsizing the military ultimately lead to nuclear weapons use. Despite many calls for Rumsfeld's resignation from across the political spectrum, says Hirsch, Rumsfeld will not go until he has succeeded in overriding the "nuclear taboo,'' by "detonating a small tactical nuclear weapon against a US enemy,'' probably Natanz or another Iranian facility.

Hirsch is also clear that the "cause'' of the war has nothing to do with Iran's nuclear capability, because even hitting Iran with nuclear weapons won't destroy that. He says: "The nuclear weapons that the administration is planning to use against Iran are low-yield earth-penetrating weapons expected to cause "reduced collateral damage". Their real purpose is not to destroy facilities that are too deep underground to be destroyed by conventional weapons: it is primarily to erase the nuclear taboo, and secondarily to shock-and-awe Iran into surrender.''

Hirsch argues that, although the decision to employ nuclear weapons in time of war lies with the President (according to NSC 30 from 1948), the Congress nonetheless has the Constitutional authority to "make rules for the government and regulation'' of the Armed Forces (Article 1, Sect. 8, Clause 14).

The Congress could thus "block the authority of the President to order the use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon countries by passing legislation.'' Since "Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, with the advice of Kissinger, are hell-bent on pursuing'' a nuclear attack on Iran, and since "a military takeover of government is not likely, and military refusal to carry out immoral orders is uncertain at best,'' therefore, Hirsch concludes, Congress must use its power to stop it. While there are many Republicans who agree, "a Republican Congress is likely to rubber-stamp any White House plan on Iran,'' and thus "voting Republican is voting to wage nuclear war.''
