In a discussion with staff and activists of the international LaRouche movement on January 13, Helga Zepp-LaRouche described the “historic opportunity to intervene” as follows:

Now, this year, 2025, is without any doubt, the end of the old system, it is the end of the idea of the unipolar world, the end of the neoliberal system trying to impose hegemony over the rest of the world, but it is really the opportunity to implement what Lyn has been advocating for the better part of half of the last century. And while there is still the danger that things could go really wrong, either immediately in the period before Trump gets into the White House, because there are several crisis spots still hot, but also, if we do not eliminate the geopolitical design that there is a legitimate interest of one nation, or groups of nations, against another nation or other groups of nations, that confrontation could come at any point a little bit later on. So we, as a priority, have to proceed in everything we are doing that we have to get a change in the axioms of the West, that they have to stop geopolitical thinking, and that we have to shift the direction of the nations of the collective West into one of cooperation with the countries of the Global South, in the building of a new and more just system.

So, we have to intervene, and we have to do it by recognizing that European nations, and the United States as well, have been suffocated for the last—in the case of Europe it’s been longer, but in the United States for the last 50 years, with axioms which are completely alien to the true identity of our nations. Therefore, we have to really start in earnest a project to identify, first of all, very clearly what are the best traditions of Europe, European nations, and the United States. Because if we don’t do that, there is no basis for the Europeans and the Americans to join with the countries of the Global South…

The situation with Trump coming in, looking at both the potentials and the shortcomings, it seems that Trump is considering, actively, an early meeting with Putin, and even Scholz in an interview yesterday welcomed that, but naturally he made his usual remarks that the sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. But nevertheless, Peskov declared that Putin is open for such a meeting with other heads of state, including Trump. There are no conditions necessary for it, so I think this will probably go ahead fairly soon.

But with Trump coming in on Jan. 20, that leaves about four weeks to the German election campaign, in which Merz will have to see if the idea they presented in Ramstein, trying to compensate for everything which will be lost by Trump on Ukraine and other issues, if that can be held up. There is a push, very much, that this “war-ready” bullshit is still in the air, but it will create an opening, because the situation is very much in flux. …

I think we have a very dramatic situation, full of suspense; it is full of potential. It doesn’t mean that the dangers have been eliminated, but the vision of where the world could go is absolutely clearly there, but it will require an extraordinary effort of our organization internationally to bring that about, and bring this objective into the discussion. Because that particular idea, especially in terms of reviving the Classical culture, as Lyn always said, a society which does not know principles of Classical composition, has no chance to survive. Lyn was always extremely emphatic on that, and that is something only we can bring in, because I have never heard any of the present crop of politicians speak in any meaningful way about ideas of Classical composition and statecraft, the way we have unearthed that treasure.

So, I think we are in an incredibly optimistic situation, if we do what we have to do.

Do Words Matter?

May 27, 2025 (EIRNS)—In the last 36 hours, the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced that Germany, France, the U.S. and the U.K. have all eliminated any limits on the range of missiles to be fired by Ukraine into Russia. Shortly after that, his Vice Chancellor announced that this was not the policy, and after that Merz changed his tune, and said that this wasn’t a new policy, and he was referring to something from before, when Biden was President.
