Written in August 1982, Operation Juárez emerged from Lyndon LaRouche’s intense work to forge a policy alliance among the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and India, to replace the bankrupt international financial system with a just New World Economic Order, based on principles derived from Alexander Hamilton’s American System of Economics. As the author explains in his foreword: “We have named this report ‘Operation Juárez,’ in memory of the proper alliance between the American Whigs of the United States and the Mexican liberals from whose ranks Juárez emerged as a leading figure” – ie, the Lincoln-Juárez alliance. Immediately prior to writing Operation Juárez, LaRouche, who had been in dialogue with President Reagan’s closest advisers even prior to his inauguration in early 1981, had just travelled to New Delhi where he met with Prime Minister Gandhi on April 23, 1982, and he then visited Mexico where he met with President López Portillo on May 27, 1982. As Mexico and the entire developing sector were being subjected to withering economic warfare by a desperately bankrupt City of London and Wall Street, LaRouche presented to both heads of state a battle plan to win the war and create a New World Economic Order. After meeting with President López Portillo in May, LaRouche was invited back to Mexico in early July 1982, where he met with top advisers to the Mexican President, who asked him to put his policy proposals in writing for further study and consideration. LaRouche did that within a matter of weeks, completing Operation Juárez on August 10, 1982. Shortly thereafter, President López Portillo implemented many of LaRouche’s recommendations; but with Mexico's prospective allies undermined via British Imperial operations, Mexico was not strong enough on its own to withstand the British Imperial response. Nonetheless, developing nations studied closely Mr. LaRouche’s strategy and you will recognize, as you read this book, the congruence between ongoing actions on the world stage today and the principles outlined in this book. The congruence is not an accident!
