Stand Up for Principle; Intervene with the Schiller Institute To ‘Create a Global Security Architecture!’

March 10, 2025 (EIRNS)—Changes in all directions are occurring by the day in the world strategic situation, and in people’s everyday lives. One historic pattern to be reckoned with, is the U.S.-Europe hostility. The dramatic feature of this is the mad rush in Europe for militarization—perpetrated in the name of defending Ukraine, and preparing to defend against war from Russia.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and leader, noting this today, called the U.S.-Europe breach “worrisome and dangerous.” But she spoke not from the standpoint of recommending returning to the conformity among the nations on both sides of the Atlantic, which has gone on for decades, under horrible British geopolitics. She spoke today from the vantage point of ending that for good. On March 8, Zepp-LaRouche issued a statement of principle and action through the Schiller Institute titled, “Instead of Rearming for the Great War, We Need To Create a Global Security.” Her appeal warns the nations of Europe that “they are making a catastrophic historical mistake. If they then also attempt to finance the enormous lack of military capabilities by creating money outside the regular budgets, they are repeating German Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht’s policy of Mefo bills from the 1930s.”

Zepp-LaRouche’s statement concluded with eight points for action, beginning: “We call on European politicians to come to their senses! Do not repeat the mistakes of the 1930s!”

European circles on the warpath exceed even the wildest science and sociological fiction. Tomorrow in Strasbourg, EU functionaries Ursula von der Leyen, European Union Commission President, and Antonio Costa, European Council President, are to meet with the European Parliament to attempt to cheer them on for the mad EU “Rearm Europe” plan, mandating $860 billion in new arms funding, for Europe and Ukraine, to stand up against Russia. On March 20-21 the leaders of 27 EU countries are to have their second meeting on this multi-billion euro commitment in Brussels, likely with Volodymyr Zelenskyy on hand, Acting President of Ukraine.

This flight forward occurs at the very same time as the breakdown of Ukraine forces in the field is worsening rapidly. In its Kursk region, Russian forces have encircled some 6-10,000 Ukrainian incursion soldiers in a “cauldron” at Sudzha. The Russians conducted a surprise move to enter through nine miles of empty underground gas pipelines.

A meeting will take place tomorrow, March 11, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between Ukrainian and U.S. delegations. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio leads the Americans. Acting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will be accompanied by Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the Presidency.

The Schiller Institute posting of the Zepp-LaRouche March 8 “Global Security Architecture” statement, has a signature page for endorsements, and also welcomes any and all other initiatives acting in the same spirit and principles. For example, on March 9 in France, a statement was issued by former military officers and by sovereignists, opposing the extending and sharing of the French nuclear force, which French President Emmanuel Macron is proposing. Their statement is titled, “Nuclear Deterrence, in Essence, Is the Expression of a National Will and Cannot Be Shared.”

The Schiller Institute posting introduces Mrs. LaRouche’s statement as, “for immediate and widespread international circulation. It is being issued at a time when Europe is at an historic crossroads, where a different alternative must be urgently put on the table if a catastrophe is to be avoided. We encourage signatures of endorsement from all walks of life to force this issue out into the public debate as quickly as possible.”
