Rohatyn Steals Public
Property Coast to Coast
by Marcia Merry Baker

EIR July 21, 2006

As of this Summer, 22 out of 50 states have made changes in But beyond greed, stripping down infrastructure is an at their laws to permit the sell-off of various of their public works to private parties. At least 43 such sell-off deals are up before state legislatures for consideration-from city- or state-owned real estate (parks, housing, hospital sites, muse-ums), to ports, airports, and especially highways.
The City of Chicago recently sold a 90-year lease on its Skyway for merely $1.3 billion in upfront cash.
On June 30, Indiana signed off on a 75-year private lease to its northern Indiana Turnpike for $3.85 billion. A 50-year lease on the 8.8-mile Pocahontas Parkway in Richmond, Virginia was let earlier this year for $522 million.
Lyndon LaRouche, reviewing the picture, stated the principle involved: "These projects were built with public funds They cannot be privatized. And anyone who does it, is going to be accused of theft. No one should pay tolls on privatized public highways. They shouldn't pay them. They should defy the tolls!
"This was paid for by the public. It's public property. You cannot sell public property in this way. It is immoral. It is illegal. No one should pay a toll on a privatized public highway." Leading the charge for the sell-off of public infrastructure is Felix Rohatyn, in league with his longtime financial house, Lazard, and related circles, who are the very same networks actively destroying U.S. industry to begin with, and thus, the economic base of local government.
Why? There is the obvious loot to be made off jacking up tolls, utility rates, fees, speculation, and stealing in all kinds of ways. Multibillions of dollars are involved. Just picture in your mind, if every 20 miles, a new private investor's toll booth appears on your highway: Lazard, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Group, Merrill machine Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and so on.

But beyond greed, stripping down infrastructure is an attack on the nation-state itself. That is what's at stake. Rohatyn is acting on behalf of the interests of those financial networks opposing nations and the public welfare outright. Their history traces back directly to the 1920s and 1930s cartels and banking circles that backed Hitler and fascist economics. EIR has "written the book" on this.*
You can see the same point in Dick Cheney's behavior, acting in service of the same networks. His pursuits of war against Iraq, Afghanistan, and now threats to Iran, are not simply in furtherance of gross profiteering for Halliburton and the like-which are crimes enough. Cheney is out to destroy the very system of nation-states itself. He personally has been working with Rohatyn and George Shultz to privatize huge parts of the U.S. military since 1991. If you takeaway public infrastructure services-transportation, communications, water, power, housing, sanitation, public cultural facilities, public security, and defense-the conditions of existence for the benefit of present and future populations, the nation-state will not exist. Look at how the United States grew as a young nation, by the impact of policies of internal improvements of all kinds, fostered as government policy. For example, modes of transportation were successively
improved, from the first canals and corduroy turnpikes, to the railroads, mass urban transit, and airways. Now we see the principle involved under direct attack. In fact, the infrastructure sell-off is a violation of the Constitution. The Constitution gives sovereignty to the Federal government, and you can't privatize the Federal government The general welfare cannot be privatized.
Even British law outlaws this, LaRouche likes to point out, when it comes to a privatized toll road that was paid for originally by the people. "It belongs to the people. There can be no tolls on it. It's the public highway. Even the British law-even that which was adopted under King John the First, the Magna Carta-even the Magna Carta outlaws this. The King's Highway cannot be usurped!"

* The Rohatyn/Lazard nexus of companies connects back, by direct lineage and policy, continuously with its predecessor cartels and financial powersthat backed Nazi economics in the 1920s and 1930s, in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Britain, and elsewhere. Lazard itself, and Rohatyn's senior and mentor at Lazard, Andre´ Meyer
were identified explicitly by U.S. intelligence in the 1940s, as part of the Hitler-backing financial crowd, called "Synarchists."
The dossier on this, "Rohatyn's Fascist Roots Are Showing" (EIR, June 30, 2006), is now in mass circulation in a LaRouche Political Action Committee pamphlet, "Time Is Running Out For the U.S.A." (July 2006.

(See www. larouchepac.com.) This title, from a statement by LaRouche, refers to how the Congress, and key institutions, beginning with the Democratic Party, are so far still refusing to act in the face of the crisis and who is causing it. In particular, Congress is turning its back on the takedown of the auto/machine Lynch tool sector, the heart of the industrial existence of the United States.

'Benito Mussolini Laws'
Figure 1 names the 22 states
where laws have been changed to
allow the private infrastructure grab.
Texas amended its state transportation
code in 2003. Many states made
changes only in 2005 or since. The
battles have been fierce, as in Indiana,
where the private-sale authorization
for the state toll road was
passed by only one vote in the legislature.
The entire Pacific Coast, the
Southeast, and the Gulf States, except
for Mississippi, have now
passed enabling laws. Illinois has not
yet passed such laws; Chicago sold
off its Skyway, which was municipally
owned.
LaRouche called these new state
law changes, "Benito Mussolini Laws." And if Mussolini is here, can Hitler be far behind? The Mussolini era was characterized by the most extreme privateering of bridges, housing, and every kind of public works. He advocated privatization of telecommunications and the post office. One Mussolini quote presents his view: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"-that is, private corporations take over. Mussolini's early Finance Minister,Giuseppe Volpi, later took what he considered a much more important post, as president of the Fascist Federation of Industrialists.
How does Rohatyn come off promoting Mussolini Laws?
He has a special double-speak lexicon for law changes, saying that governments must allow new "public private partnerships" (PPPs) for government services and infrastructure. He avoids saying, "privatization," which is now a has-been term, because of public disgust over the many cases of swindles and looting of public property over the 1990s-from water
systems to schools. The state law tally mapped in Figure 1, comes from the website of the National Council for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) at ncppp.org. They are keeping close tabs on legal changes, because they represent the firms lined up for the buyouts, ranging from Bechtel Infrastructure Corp., to Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, United Water/Suez, Veolia Water, to dozens of others, including government entities. The PPP Council uses the expression, "PPP Enabling Laws" and is in high gear to coax or coerce state and local officials to give up governmental rights. Public In particular, state laws commonly need to be changed for takeovers of localized links in the 47,000-mile national interstate highway grid-now the infrastructure takeover-of-choice for the swarm of multinationals in the game. For years, privateers have already been active in buying and looting public assets that are owned by cities and counties, especially municipal water and sewage systems.

On Sept. 21, 2005, a Congressional PPP Caucus was announced, headed by Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) and Rep.- Chris Cannon (R-Utah). Virginia, where Allen was Governor (1994-9, is considered one of the national models for PPPs. It is home to the 14-mile privately owned Greenway Toll Road, the first one in the nation since the 1800s. In 1988, a planned Virginia Department of Transportation highway extension westward past Dulles Airport was instead authorized for a privately owned highway. The road didn't open-until 1995; the state lost funds outright on the so-called public-private partnership; a sequence of private owners gained. In 2005, the giant Macquarie Infrastructure Group took it over. The toll is now $3.20 for a one-way, 14-mile trip.
Yet Allen said at the PPP Caucus inauguration, "PPPs have resulted in the savings of hundreds of millions of dollars for the state." Now running for President, Allen is known in Virginia as the "PP candidate-a diaper boy for Rohatyn."
On March 27 of this year, Rohatyn staged a PPP event in Washington, D.C., with former Sen. Warren Rudman, the co-chairman with Rohatyn of a group he founded in 2004, the Commission for Public Infrastructure, to promote government infrastructure sell-off. They released their "Guiding-Principles for Strengthening America's Infrastructure," whose language makes the classic pitch: "Deeper capital markets and greater experience infrastructure have dramatically improved the ability of the private concessector
to play a central role in infrastructure provision. The old public works dichotomy-the public sector buys and manages while the private sector builds-is being replaced by new types of public-private partnerships. Increased private sector activity will continue to improve the efficiency of infrastructure markets. Entrepreneurs should be encouraged to put -their capital at risk in order to create infrastructure that meets the needs of users" (emphasis added).
Among the 12 signators were California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, and representatives of buy-out companies including Bernard Schwartz, retired chairman and CEO of Loral Space and Communications, and Frederick B. Whittemore, advisory director of Morgan Stanley.44 Economics EIR July 21, 2006
