11-Septembre/LaRouche : Cheminade joue sur les mots

Jacques Cheminade était l’un des cinq candidats à la présidentielle invités jeudi soir à venir exprimer ses idées sur France 2 dans l’émission "Des paroles et des actes". Interrogé sur les déclarations complotistes de son mentor Lyndon Larouche, le candidat de Solidarité & Progrès a répondu qu’on prête à LaRouche « beaucoup [de propos] qu’il n’a pas tenus » et « qui sont des demi-vérités : il n’a jamais dit que l’Administration Bush avait organisé le 11-Septembre par exemple ».

Cheminade joue sur les mots. S'il est parfaitement exact que LaRouche n'a pas prononcé une telle phrase, il n'en est pas moins vrai qu'il a soutenu que des membres de ce qu'il appelle lui-même « l’Administration Bush-Cheney » avaient commandité les attentats du 11 septembre 2001.

Dans un enregistrement audio du 10 octobre 2007, retranscrit dans un numéro de la revue phare du mouvement larouchiste, l’Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), LaRouche affirme que, dès janvier 2001, il avait prédit que quelqu’un effectuerait un attentat terroriste dans l’année depuis l’intérieur de l’appareil d’État américain afin de choquer le pays et de l'asservir. Il poursuit en expliquant que le 11-Septembre a en fait été déclenché avec les complicités de l’« Empire britannique » − la véritable source du mal dans la doctrine larouchiste − et de l’Arabie saoudite, tout en soulignant l’implication directe de personnalités haut placées, agissant sous couverture au plus haut niveau du gouvernement américain.

LaRouche n’hésite pas à désigner nommément le vice-président Dick Cheney, décrit comme le personnage principal de l'opération (« the figurehead of this operation ») et comme « l’homme dont tout le monde a peur à cause du 11-Septembre ! ». « Je sais au-delà de toute doute, confie LaRouche, que le 11-Septembre a été fomenté de l’intérieur. Ce fut un travail de l’intérieur pour le compte de ce que l’Administration Bush-Cheney représente ».

Difficile de faire plus clair. Mais puisque les partisans de Jacques Cheminade pourraient nous faire le reproche de sortir des phrases de leur contexte et de proposer des traductions biaisées, voici l'intégralité des propos de Lyndon LaRouche, en version originale (extraits de “ Save the American Republic From the British Empire! ”, Executive Intelligence Review, Vol. 34, N° 41, 19 octobre 2007, page 5) :

In early January of 2001, before the inauguration of George W. Bush as President, I warned that the general nature of the catastrophe would be, that the U.S. economy would be a failure—the policies of Bush would be a total failure: We were headed into a downslide, which in fact has happened, all throughout this period. And the thing we had to fear, from inside the U.S. government, was that someone would set off a form of terrorist incident within the year, which would shock the nation into submission.
In the Summer of that year, 2001, the recession was fully on. The collapse was on; the political systems were shaken by the collapse. And then, on the famous Sept. 11, someone, with cooperation from inside the highest levels of power in the United States, unleashed an incident which is called the 9/11 incident. That job was done with the complicity of the British Empire. It was done with complicity of elements in Saudi Arabia, as all the evidence would plainly tell you. That was a terrorist act, against the United States, done with complicity of people at a very high level inside the United States, with a coverup organized by people inside, a high level inside the United States.
Now, certain facts are not known, and I shall not say what I know now. But I shall say, that I do know, beyond doubt, that 9/11 was an inside job. It was an inside job on behalf of what the Bush-Cheney Administration represents. And since that time, everybody who knows anything about the government, knows about our system, knows that more or less to be true. You see the behavior of members of the Congress and political institutions who are running scared! Because they know that kind of thing is on.
Now what I said in January of 2001, prior to the inauguration of this President, the first time: I said that we had to look at the precedent, under these kinds of economic conditions which I indicated, in which Hermann Göring orchestrated the burning of the Reichstag, for the purpose of making Hitler not merely the Chancellor of Germany, but the dictator. And Hitler remained a dictator from the night after that burning of the Reichstag, until the day he died! Nobody got rid of him. I would say, that what has happened is, with the case of Cheney, in particular—Cheney is the figurehead of this operation, Vice President Cheney, the man everybody's afraid of because of 9/11!—that everyone is running in terror, just as in Germany, they ran in terror from the burning of the Reichstag, and the Germans never got free of that, until the day Hitler was dead.
Now, the operation was run against the United States by whom? It was run against it by the British Empire. They're the ones that ran it. And right now, you see in politics now, the shadow of exactly that kind of problem, because that's what you're looking at when you look at the U.S. Presidential campaign, right now. The Presidential campaign, the political campaign on the Federal level, is a bad joke! Hillary Clinton says a few things which are important. She does not have a clue as to what the problem is. She doesn't have a clue as to what the solution is—but she is the closest to telling the truth, and all the rest of them are far from the truth. Dennis Kucinich says a few things that are true, but he has no grasp of this issue.
I do have a grasp of the issue—and I know more than I'm saying: With complicity of certain people in Saudi Arabia, with the British Empire, which shares power with Saudi Arabia, through the BAE, a job was done on the United States on 9/11. And we've been living under the heat of that, ever since. That I stand by. Other facts will come out at a suitable time. (…)
