Oct. 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—As the world waits with dread for Israel’s expected military strikes on Iran, there is still reason for hope. Most of the world, disgusted by the inaction of the legacy Western powers and the impotence of the United Nations to take decisive action, is thinking about new forms of international relations. Discussions of transforming the UN Security Council are picking up steam, and the relatively new forum of the BRICS is attracting countries from across the globe. |
Oct. 13, 2024 (EIRNS)—The assembly of top leaders from dozens of countries next week in Kazan, Russia, may prove to be truly historic, particularly as it contrasts with the devastating decisions being taken by Anglo-American NATO and Israel. |
Oct. 12, 2024 (EIRNS)—Consider this scenario: A car is hurtling toward a brick wall. The collision seems imminent. “Don’t worry,” says the driver, “I don’t want to hit the wall!” Wouldn’t you say the driver is insane? |
Sept. 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—When it comes to the world’s hottest of hot spots, peace cannot be created from within the region. Only a shift in global affairs can prevent the escalation of crises which will otherwise lead to the destruction of all life on Earth through thermonuclear warfare. |
Sept. 23, 2024 (EIRNS)—Netanyahu’s goal appears to be to draw Iran and Hezbollah into an escalated conflict, by goading them into action through a series of increasingly provocative attacks, including assassinations, destruction of diplomatic facilities, pager explosions that caused many indiscriminate injuries and deaths, and now a series of attacks on southern Lebanon that have left hundreds dead and over a thousand wounded in one day. (The assault was swiftly denounced by Brazil.) |
Sept. 16, 2024 (EIRNS)—Why settle for one assassin, when you can have dozens or hundreds? |
Sept. 9, 2024 (EIRNS)—Is the ongoing, meaningful diplomatic progress towards peace enough to change the governments of the Anglo-American NATO nations? |
Sept. 7, 2024 (EIRNS)—Leadership means providing a purpose, a mission, to a nation, a group, or the world as a whole. The needed purpose for countries of the world today, their moral mission, is to achieve the development of economies and cultures to eliminate poverty, explore the frontiers of science, and provide the people the opportunity for true happiness and flourishing mental health that comes with the recognition that their lives have necessary, enduring meaning. |
Aug. 22, 2024 (EIRNS)—While it might seem more politically acceptable to claim that the actions of the Anglo-American NATO elite risk provoking war, it is more accurate to say that they intend to provoke war. |
Aug. 21, 2024 (EIRNS)—Lyndon LaRouche identified the British Empire as not only still alive—in an expanded Anglo-American form—but also the most potent force for evil on the planet. |
Aug. 18, 2024 (EIRNS)—As the military conflicts Russia-Ukraine and Southwest Asia continue to escalate, will voices of sanity organize a new paradigm before the possibility of speaking for peace is itself eradicated? |
Aug. 14, 2024 (EIRNS)—“As humanity has been put on the brink of a civilization-ending nuclear war, largely through the machinations of the British and their fellow travelers in the U.S.A., any sensible person would be asking the question: How did we get here, and how do we turn instead toward durable survival?” |
Aug. 7, 2024 (EIRNS)—“What are they thinking?” the world asks, respecting the actions of Israel and Anglo-American NATO. “Are they trying to cause World War III?” |
Aug. 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—As the world awaits with dread Iran’s response to Israel’s assassination of a chief Hamas negotiator in Iran’s capital Tehran on the day of the new president’s inauguration—and the Israeli (and American and British) response to that response, it is essential to bear in mind that this is not a problem that will resolve itself, that the “adults” will come in and fix. |
Aug. 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—The horrifying prospect of imminent warfare should frighten anyone with a clear view of the world. Only an immense good can counter the evil inherent in the present situation. |
July 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—On November 22, 2022, founder of the Schiller Institute and convener of the International Peace Coalition, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, issued a proposal titled “Ten Principles of a New International Security and Development Architecture.” Her statement didn’t merely take up a programmatic or step-wise approach to restoring security to a world currently experiencing the eruption of wars and chaos on a mass scale. Rather, Zepp-LaRouche insisted that her proposal be considered from the standpoint of “food for thought and a dialogue among all people concerned to find a basis for a world order guaranteeing the durable existence of the human species.” It is indeed the caliber of discussion which the world is currently searching for. |
May 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—Reckless attacks on the missile attack of warning systems of the Russian strategic forces risk the destruction of human life, globally. Russia’s policy on nuclear weapon use includes as one of the conditions, an “attack by adversary against critical governmental or military sites of the Russian Federation, disruption of which would undermine nuclear forces response actions [emphasis added].” Attacking the system designed to provide warning of nuclear missile launches is insane; there could now be a circumstance in which Russian strategic forces perceive a nuclear attack and have an extremely short window of time to decide not to launch the counterattack inherent in nuclear deterrence. |
May 21—The hypocrisy and cluelessness of the so-called West on the subject of “democracy” is so profound, that these self-proclaimed bastions of that virtue oppose, adamantly, the democratization of international relations occurring with accelerating speed across the world. |
May 17—The attempted assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has shaken Europe and the world. And the intended message is clear: opposition to Anglo-American NATO and the EU will not be tolerated. Since the May 15 attempt on Fico’s life, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo have all received death threats, largely delivered on social media. |
May 16—A new world order is coming into being, which the “West” would do well to join, rather than oppose. |
May 6 Amid the horrifying news that Israel is beginning its operations in Rafah. |
April 30—How does the Global South respond to video footage circulating on social media of police arresting dozens of students and teachers participating in political demonstrations that are sometimes large, often boisterous, but so far almost entirely non-violent? What nation will not snicker at a lecture coming from the United States about free expression and democracy? How can demands for international observance of a “rules-based order” be squared with the outrageous violations of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution through the actions of political leaders—from the White House, to Congress, to state executives and legislators, to a leading presidential candidate—who demand that protests be shut down, on the basis of the views expressed? |
April 29—We are in a time of dramatic change, when humanity faces decisions in the near future whose consequences will be felt for generations. |
April 26—In today’s upside-down world, university protesters opposing the deadly military policy of a nation-state stand accused of themselves being aggressors, driven by racial or religious animus. University presidents do not condemn Israel’s destruction of every university in Gaza, but instead tell their students that participating in a protest encampments will result in arrest and expulsion. Rather than addressing the hundred thousand casualties of the war in Gaza, the emotional concerns of people made uncomfortable by political viewpoints with which they disagree are being centered by the legacy media. Mass killer Benjamin Netanyahu presents himself as the victim of anti-Semitism. |
April 18—Unless the fundamental contradiction manifesting itself in such conflicts as that between NATO and Russia or the killing in Gaza is addressed, a lasting peace is impossible. A small piece of “good news” may appear from day to day, and can represent a fulcrum for shifting the broader path of history, but the situation is fundamentally one of gathering danger. |
