Yugoslavia), to stop an eventual Eurasian reform which would be centered on closer
collaboration with Russia, France and Germany. If one country can influence the events in
Eastern Europe, then that country is Germany.
Under these political guidelines all efforts contravening this plan, e.g. the German economic
development endeavors towards the East, have to be thwarted at all cost.
The vulnerability and weakness of Chancellor Kohl and his government could not have been
better demonstrated before the world than by the fact that in the same month the wall came
down, Dr. Alfred Herrhausen, speaker of the board of the Deutsche Bank fell victim to a
terrorist attack whose instigators and executors remain unknown until today and can walk
free without fear of persecution.
Strategically far-sighted, Alfred Herrhausen had proposed for quite some time a remission of
debt for developing countries, especially in the year of the crash of 1987.
But in the eyes of
his enemies his proposals were absolutely unbearable, since besides the remission he now
also asked for an economic development plan for Eastern Europe. Herrhausen spoke of a
Polish development bank modeled after the Credit Bank for Reconstruction. Here
Herrhausen contravened – not just in the eyes of Colonel Prouty – the unwritten laws by the
Londoner and New Yorker monetary power groups and so got caught in the terrorist net of
his enemies.
At the significant moment of the collapse of the Communist system in the East, Chancellor
Kohl failed to instigate a global change of direction towards a real rebuilding plan for the
East.
This would have necessitated a bread with the predominant financial circles at home
and abroad and would have fundamentally influenced the traditional power structures of the
old victorious powers. According to Der Spiegel, Chancellor Kohl said after the murder of
Herrhausen that he had lost a strategically thinking close advisor and that now petty minds
dominated in most of Germany.
Following this terrible deed Kohl and his government did not dare to expose the reasons for
the crime to the public and to motivate police and investigators in such a way that the
murderers and the men behind would be caught, their motives established and their deed
atoned.
Instead, the public was told something about a “third RAF generation”, supported in
part with false testimony.
Four years after the assassination of Herrhausen the void he left is very apparent.
Entrepreneurs and leaders in economy, science and research avow that, even if the need
for a La Rouche development plan in the “production triangle” of Paris-Berlin-Vienna, with
extensive infrastructural measures in the energy, traffic and water-supply sectors is
recognized as the motor of a Eurasian upswing, no one would now, after the killing of
Herrhausen, risk his or her head for programs which are recognized as being correct, with
which run counter to the predominant monetary power ideology.
The murders of Herrhausen and Rohwedder have given those political trends in Germany a
boost which stand for an economic “going for broke” policy patterned after the worst free
trade doctrine. Now, after the first strike waves in sixty years had hit the new German states
some begin to realize the extent and devastating effects of the economic ruination policy.
Now Germany has close to four million unemployed, four hundred thousand of them youths.
The economic research institute Prognos expect unemployment to rise 17%, around 7.5
million.
The outbreaks of violence, especially aimed at foreigners, but also against the handicapped
and the homeless, that in 1992 had caused the deaths of seventeen people, seven of which
were foreigners, are seen by the press that had talked about the threat of Fourth Reich
before as confirmation for their thesis of a flare-up of neo-Nazism.
The federal government had tried to correct this distorted image with differentiated reports.
Since autumn 1992 more than three million Germans and foreigners have taken to the
streets to demonstrate with lit candles for solidarity against xenophobia.
