This book is dense with the names of elites and their corporate and banking connections, from Hong Kong to New York to London. That alone made it worth inputting, even though I'm not convinced by their conclusions about the world order.
Nor do I think LaRouche is a crank who believes that the Queen of England pushes drugs. In certain areas, EIR research is too substantive for such easy dismissal; something else is going on here. This book claims that a network of British aristocrats and their foreign cronies have been laundering drug money since the days of the Opium Wars. That's probably true. But has EIR uncovered Britain's conspiracy to destroy the world, or have they merely found some loose connections between various high-flying transnational profiteers, who happen to have interesting family histories? -- D.Brandt

Kremlin Tempers Attack on Yukos
By Catherine Belton
Staff Writer President Vladimir Putin's efforts to minimize the economic fallout from the Yukos affair unexpectedly breathed new life into a collapsing market Friday, and a stern warning to prosecutors Sunday via his new chief of staff suggested he was determined to contain the damage.
In his first public statement about the legal assault on Yukos since succeeding Alexander Voloshin as presidential chief of staff late Thursday, Dmitry Medvedev said prosecutors should think twice about the economic impact of their actions.
Specifically, Medvedev, who is also board chairman of state-owned gas giant Gazprom, questioned the legal effectiveness of the unprecedented move by prosecutors last week to freeze more than $12 billion in YukosSibneft shares, which resulted in one of the largest sell-offs since the 1998 crisis.
"The question arises: how effective legally was the freezing of Yukos shares?" Medvedev said in an interview shown on Rossia state television. "Our colleagues should ... consider the economic consequences of the measures they take. ... This is a dangerous thing."
Political analysts polled Sunday said Medvedev would only have made those remarks if Putin had approved them, and that they appeared to be an attempt not only to assuage the global investment community, but also to avoid a potentially damaging split with Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov.
.....
Medvedev's remarks came as two leading British papers reported that Khodorkovsky had handed over voting rights to his shares in Yukos to an influential member of the Rothschild banking empire, Lord Jacob Rothschild.
Yury Kotler, spokesman for Menatep, the parent company of Yukos, denied the reports, which ran in the Sunday Times and the Sunday Telegraph. He said Leonid Nevzlin, a core Yukos shareholder now in exile in Israel, had become the sole beneficiary of the trust that holds most of Yukos' stock as soon as Khodorkovsky was jailed on charges of fraud and tax evasion.
Representatives of Lord Jacob Rothschild could not be reached for comment Sunday. He is a member of the board of Khodorkovsky's charity, the Open Russia Foundation.
.....
The legal assault on Yukos kicked into high gear in July with the arrest of Yukos co-founder and billionaire Platon Lebedev. In the weeks and months that followed, prosecutors turned up the heat with a series of raids on affiliated companies, culminating with the dramatic pre-dawn arrest of Khodorkovsky by a team of Federal Security Service agents while his plane was refueling on a Siberian runway.
Analysts from across the political spectrum have said the move comes in response to Khodorkovsky's attempts to encroach on Putin's political power base -- in clear breach of a tacit agreement Putin reached with the oligarchs shortly after he was elected president. If you want to keep your assets, he essentially told them, stay out of politics.
Putin, however, compared the attack on Yukos to probes launched in the United States against Enron and WorldCom, according to participants of the meeting.
