May 17, 1995 Washington DC Development Conference. In the midst of the British-led assault on the Clinton Presidency that was being waged through terrorism, economic warfare, and scandal, a series of economic development conferences was sponsored by the Schiller Institute in the United States to provide one of the unique voices of sanity on the political scene.
The conference, held on May 17 1995 in Washington, D.C., put into sharp focus not only the depth of the financial crisis, but also the tasks for policymakers who wish to replace the collapse with economic revival, defeating the British gameplan for the destruction of the United States, and human civilization as a whole.
Approximately 125 political leaders, diplomats, and state legislators from around the country attended this event, which was keynoted by economist Lyndon LaRouche, and
addressed by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp LaRouche and members of the EIR staff. The LaRouches addressed the misperception by policymakers, especially
here and in Europe, of the nature of the financial crisis, while the EIR researchers presented in-depth pictures on the way in which the International Monetary Fund (IMF) financial system is destroying the world food supply, the first phases of the collapse of the speculative derivatives markets, and the strategy of tension against the United States.
