May 26—(EIRNS) The Schiller Institute with the worldwide circulation of its release on Sunday morning has taken the initiative to challenge and stop a sudden and rapid escalation of the NATO-Russia war in Europe, in the direction of a nuclear war. |
May 12—The nations of the world know that the people of Gaza have begun to starve, and are dying of exposure and disease; but instead of aid being rushed to them, it is being blocked entirely right now by Israel’s military forces. They know that these same human beings, while trying to survive without sources of food, water, or fuel, or hospitals, are being bombed and shot at and forced to march from one “safe” place after another as warfighting spreads across Gaza—again—between Israeli, Hamas and Islamic Jihad forces. |
May 5—President Joe Biden’s most liberal backer, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont, warned last week that Biden may become “another LBJ,” forced not to run for a second term by his war policy. It is Biden’s arming and cheering Israel in a brutal colonialist proxy war against Palestine, which has become a genocide and turned American youth against him, after he threw hundreds of billions into NATO’s “Ukraine war” against Russia. |
April 28—The late economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche observed years ago that the most difficult, most prohibited thing to say in American politics is: Palestinians are human beings. This is being proven again now, but by the emergence of a growing protest of young people, high school and university students and others against Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, among whom are many protesting because they believe that Palestinians are human beings, and have inalienable rights long denied. |
April 21—The United States government has gone all out for war. The State Department vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for the State of Palestine’s admission to the UN, although 140 nations recognize Palestine as a state—the United States did this to back Israel’s war to depopulate Palestine. The Congress, meanwhile, voted to issue another $100 billion in U.S. federal debt to provide more weapons of war to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. And it reauthorized the surveillance, without a warrant, of Americans who communicate with foreign contacts. Why with no warrant, no Fourth Amendment? Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said, to that question on Fox News Sunday, “We’re at war! They’re coming to kill us all!” |
April 14—Throughout her campaign for the “Oasis Plan” concept of peace through development to stop the Southwest Asia war, Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche has warned that if the war spreads to Iran, all bets are off on the danger of world war. That has now happened. There is now a complete urgency to bring nations in on the development principle represented by the Oasis Plan; and to mobilize Americans to break with the war policy of the United States’ political factions. |
April 7—The Schiller Institute’s international conference on “The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia”, convening on April 13, is an absolutely crucial step, right at this moment, toward peace through development—not just in that region, but worldwide. |
March 24—Consider Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s warning to the 42nd consecutive meeting of the International Peace Coalition, March 22: “I think that the worsening of the strategic situation will dawn on people all over the world, because if the Russians are actually saying that there is now a state of war, that will be heard. I can only hope that a lot of idiotic people who think this is all bluff and will not happen, will wake up.” |
March 17—It is too early to say that Irish-American citizens are turning against President Joe Biden to the degree that Arab-Americans and students are. But protests and “alternative St. Patrick’s parades for Palestine” in greater New York and in Philadelphia show that the intense support for Palestine in Ireland itself, is infecting Irish-Americans. |
It's time to turn the military-industrial complex into a productive capacity for peace |
Jan. 21—Lyndon LaRouche’s political movement, led now by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, has clearly become a critical force against economic collapse and world war, and toward an international architecture of development. On successive days last week, Helga Zepp-LaRouche led international conference calls of hundreds of mobilized people: first, of peace organizations, leading scholars and activists; then, of youth organizations and leaders from all over the world. |
Mobilize and demand your Congressman pass this legislation: “The Swords to Plowshares Act of 2024” |
Nov. 21—We observe on Nov. 22 the 60th anniversary of the last man of actual courage to prove that courage as President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. “When, in 1962, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was pressured by hardliners within his own administration to launch a military invasion of Cuba ‘in defense of America,’ after the Soviet Union had placed ballistic missiles there—missiles which, unknown to Americans at the time, were armed with nuclear warheads—he refused, and saved the world from nuclear war, perhaps at the cost of his own life.” That’s how the proof is stated in the invitation to the International Peace Coalition’s “Emergency Forum: No More War Crimes! Economic Development, Not Depopulation!” set for Nov. 26. |
Nov. 12—We all now face a crisis in which the vengeful rage of two forces—Hamas’ callous Gaza authority and Israel’s duplicitous and corrupt Likud coalition government—has led from the murder of more than 1,000 Israeli citizens, to massive slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza, intolerable to peoples all over the world, and to the growing threat of regional, then perhaps world war. |
Oct. 15—The expanding BRICS grouping includes five important nations in the Middle East-North Africa region, including three of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers—Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—and Egypt and Ethiopia. Now, among these nations the core of technology transfer worldwide is developing—for nuclear energy, fast transport, space technologies—with the creation of productive credit led by China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The future development of the world economy is there, if the United States and European nations would join it. |
Sept. 17—Sept. 18 marks what would have been the 95th birthday of that statesman of great genius of mind, Frederick R. “Fred” Wills, who was Foreign Minister of Guyana from 1975-78; who gave a momentous speech on a new world economic order on Sept. 27, 1976—a month after the Non-Aligned Nations conference which embraced Lyndon LaRouche’s International Development Bank proposal—to the UN General Assembly which opens its 2023 debate tomorrow, Sept. 19; and who remained a constant collaborator of LaRouche in many efforts until Fred Wills’ death in 1992. |
Aug. 9—Sputnik has published a raft of articles from an interview conducted in New York with LaRouche independent (and TLO endorsed) candidate for U.S. Senate Diane Sare. One of the main articles yesterday on the interview is quite thorough regarding strategic issues, quoting Sare on many of these issues. Its lead, “Support for Ending Ukraine Aid Growing in U.S. Congress, Society,” has Sare saying that Americans in their majority no longer support the U.S. backing Ukraine for war with Russia. |
Aug. 5—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder and leader of the international Schiller Institute, concluded the Aug. 4 meeting of International Peace Coalition leaders by saying that she was greatly moved by these leaders, from all over the world, responding to a single necessity: rapid intervention to end the NATO-Russia war in Ukraine before it becomes nuclear annihilation. |
July 1—The rising voice of the Global South was heard loud and clear at the so-called “Global Financing Pact” conference in Paris, planned by Western elites to bring on a new worldwide tax “for the climate.” |
June 18—New Development Bank (NDB) President Dilma Rousseff’s June 10 statement at a meeting with Honduran President Xiomara Castro, that “NDB’s strategic goal is to become the leading bank for emerging markets and developing countries,” was a sign that a battle is now joined on which the survival of mankind significantly depends: It is a race between the rapid emergence of a new credit and monetary architecture centered on the BRICS and its NDB; and financial and economic attempts to destroy the BRICS nations by Wall Street, the City of London and NATO. |
May 14—Each step by NATO in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s latest “tour” of Europe is ratcheting up the threat of direct war between Russia and NATO’s nuclear powers Britain and the United States. |
April 15—The brilliant analysis of the burning issue of a new international reserve currency, written nearly 25 years ago by Lyndon LaRouche, can be presented to any official or citizen as an authoritative “guide” to the steps that must be taken now by the BRICS nations and others, to avoid international economic collapse and thus prevent nuclear war. |
April 2—While China and Brazil have just made an agreement to settle their trade in China’s yuan currency and make it a credit and lending currency in Brazil’s economy, both countries have been rapidly selling off their central banks’ large holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, as the Russian Central Bank did earlier when it loaded up on gold and yuan. During 2022 Brazil sold off $22 billion worth—almost 10% of its U.S. Treasury holdings—and then another $21 billion just in March 2023. China sold off $175 billion in Treasuries in 2022 and has reduced its once-huge holdings of them by more than a quarter. U.S. dollar assets are still an 80%—but rapidly diminishing—share of the foreign exchange reserves of Brazil’s central bank, Chinese yuan assets only 5.4% but it is rising fast and becoming Brazil’s main trade currency. The yuan’s share in Russia’s central bank reserves is approaching 30%. |
March 4—Following the 7.8- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes which struck Türkiye and Syria Feb. 6, killing as many as 6,000 Syrians and more than 40,000 in Türkiye, the Anglo-American policy of using economic sanctions to impose genocidal conditions upon the nation of Syria has come under increasing scrutiny. The weeks ahead may be decisive for the survival of this beleaguered nation. |
Dec. 11—Some 90% of the debt of developing countries (often degraded with the term “emerging markets” or just “EMs”) is denominated in dollars and euros—overwhelmingly in dollars. The U.S. dollar is overvalued due to 20 years’ lack of real, and 12 years’ lack even of nominal productivity growth. U.S. technological productivity growth has been below 1%/year on average in this century, and even simple labor productivity growth has averaged only 1-2%/year since the 2008 financial crash. This is a far cry from productivity growth during this century in, not only China, but also India, for example. |
