Zepp-LaRouche identified the two trajectories that the world is facing.
“One is a very optimistic one, regarding the potential of the Belt and Road Initiative to transform the world. The second one is that parts of the West are still suffering from what the Governor of Kentucky Matt Bevin has called a `culture of death.’ As VIPS whistleblower Coleen Rowley stated recently, this is the result, at least in large part, of the policy of perpetual wars. Actually, you can say that both the violent video games and the mass school shootings have been indirectly or directly the result of these perpetual wars — which makes it very clear that we absolutely have to have a New Paradigm.
“On the optimistic side, the Belt and Road is moving ahead very quickly, and this is uplifting to everybody who knows about it. It’s also important that there is a very significant President-to-President diplomacy going on. The latest development is that Chinese Politburo member Liu He is coming to the U.S. for five days, for in-depth discussions with the Trump administration on economic and trade issues. This comes just two weeks after State Councillor Yang Jiechi was in the U.S. So this personal dialogue between Trump and Xi is extremely important.”
Zepp-LaRouche recalled the point made by one Chinese commentator, that the Belt and Road is an irreversible trend, and those countries that don’t want to join the bandwagon, will end up looking at the tail lights of the caboose as it leaves the station. “That is a very optimistic dynamic; and I think the fact that both Trump and Xi Jinping will stay on, is extremely good news.”

A Note To Readers
Without a fundamental change in America’s culture an infrastructure building policy will not only not happen, but, in the unlikely case it does, will not work. So, we welcome the call by Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and from President Trump that the death culture of the nation’s entertainment mafia must be challenged head-on.
With lots of noise about U.S./China conflict on trade issues, the truth is that the Trump administration is very engaged with President Xi, and with a few changes in the administration, along with the realization that only with the U.S. adopting a comprehensive policy of financial and economic reorganization, and joining with China in its Belt and Road Initiative, is there any hope at all that the announced infrastructure program of one week ago, can be more than mere words.
Here is that comprehensive program: https://larouchepac.com/20170225/four-laws-pamphlet
In This Week’s Report
As the state week by week sinks deeper into drought once again, even the “monster storm” that is beginning now will not do too much, if anything, to alleviate that process. And as the meteorologists keep telling us, a “miracle” March is highly unlikely.
As the articles below highlight, it is the snowpack, or the lack of it, that is the central issue that will determine just how bad the drought will become.
The agriculture sector is responding to the possibility of a serious infrastructure policy from the Trump White House with both enthusiasm and caution. Caution because they recognize that the funding as so far announced will not work. They are right on that later point.
The Oroville Dam update includes a couple of videos and construction progress reports.
Remember the governor’s tunnel project? Who could ever forget it. Well know it “has become absolutely Byzantine.” I won’t explain it here. See the section under that title.
Not Byzantine, but something that might be even worse, is the ongoing battle of the midget minds over the project funding from Proposition 1. The important question is not which projects will be funded, but if any water storage projects will ever be funded.
The final section this week inaugurates a new title: “If China Can Do It, So Can We.”
