Nov. 18—As the world gazes in horror at the steady march of destruction in Gaza, while an increasing number of leaders, political and otherwise, add their voices to the chorus demanding ceasefire and peace, we must remember: Human history is not inevitable. |
Oct. 30—To understand what’s taking place in Gaza, put the region in context. |
Oct. 17—Although decisions are more commonly justified by reference to necessities imposed by the past than by the demands of what is to come, justice can be achieved only with reference to the future. Responsibility is more easily assigned than taken, but the current terrifying crisis calls us to take responsibility for installing a new security and development architecture for the world. |
Oct. 14—Who is responsible for the carnage now taking place in Southwest Asia? Was it Hamas, by perpetrating a violent attack? Was it Israel, by effectively incarcerating millions of Palestinians for years? Or was it you? Better said, will it be you? |
Oct. 1—It takes a strong stomach, and a stronger conviction to act, to look directly at the evil of the Anglo-American imperium, which has again demonstrated its willingness—no, its desire—to threaten nuclear extermination of the human race rather than give up its hegemony. Grant Shapps, the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Defense, told the Telegraph that he had held talks with Army leaders about moving “more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine. |
Sept. 30—It is time again for the United States people to declare independence! Not independence from the world hegemon, as we did in 1776 against the British Empire, but from attempting to be the world hegemon through an Anglo-American alliance. |
Sept. 26—One year ago, a series of explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline that supplied Russian gas to Germany and one of the two lines of Nord Stream 2. |
Sept. 19—Today began the General Debate at the United Nations General Assembly, in which each country has an opportunity to express its views on all topics. The discussion, although tinged throughout with anti-growth “green” policies, is notable for the differences between the outlooks of countries looking for a new direction, such as BRICS members Brazil and South Africa, contrasted to the perpetual war proponents Biden and Zelenskyy. |
Sept. 9—The Schiller Institute’s September 9, 2023 conference “Let Us Join Hands with the Global Majority To Create a New Chapter in World History,” held one day after the 101th birthday of Lyndon LaRouche, brought together over a dozen thinkers from around the world for a powerful dialogue on the new paradigm taking shape, in the context of the historic BRICS summit last month in South Africa. |
Sept. 5—The next week brings several international conferences: the ASEAN meeting taking place now in Indonesia, the G20 meeting in India this weekend, the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok through next Wednesday, and, in the middle of it, the Schiller Institute’s September 9 online conference “Let us Join Hands with the Global Majority To Create a New Chapter in World History!” |
Sept. 2—Colonialism is over. |

Aug. 27—The expansion of the BRICS process, including most prominently the planned January 2024 expansion of the BRICS into the BRICS 11, is among the most important developments in the world today. It is willful blindness (or, often, willful deception) that prevents those in NATO nations from recognizing that a new paradigm is taking shape in the world. |
Aug. 17—A choice must be made; an earthquake is brewing; the pressure is building; the rupture is inevitable; the abyss cannot be straddled. The globe cannot survive half slave and half free. |
Aug. 14—To what institutions, to what authorities can people of the world turn to seek redress of injustice, to discuss development, to achieve progress? |
Aug. 8—Ongoing and upcoming events in Africa — in the northern Sahel region and in South Africa — demonstrate clearly that the age of colonialism is coming to an end. |
The Humanity for Peace events yesterday were a powerful declaration that peace will triumph. |
The Russia-Africa Summit and the growth of the BRICS show a new world coming into being. Stop nuclear war to make it possible. |
July 27—The Russia-Africa summit taking place this week in St. Petersburg, shows that the Global South is not being cowed by imperial demands that it obey the rules-based order. Despite efforts by the U.S. and many European nations, such as France and the U.K., to depress participation, more than 40 nations attended, with some 17 represented by heads of state or government. |
July 25—The one billion people of NATO nations are a relatively small portion of the entire human population, yet those NATO nations and closer partners account for the majority of military spending on this planet. Although Anglo-American-directed NATO lies that it is a “defensive alliance,” its involvement in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Libya tell a different story. |
July 20—Politics as “the art of the possible” has hit a dead end. The “rules-based order,” if obeyed, would lead, necessarily, to civilization-ending global conflict. A window of opportunity currently exists, to transform the paradigm from one of hegemonism and conflict to one that acknowledges and fosters the common interests of humanity. The International Peace Coalition being built by the LaRouche movement provides the needed direction. |
July 12—We are at the end of an era, and the dawning of a new epoch for human civilization. But we also stand at the edge of the abyss: Anglo-American NATO is unwilling to release its hegemony, and is choosing policies that will lead, inevitably, to war with Russia, China, or both. Catastrophic war. Unsurvivable war. |
July 6—This week has seen a breakthrough in the censorship regime just as flickers of sanity have emerged in the form of reporting on US-Russia back-channel negotiations for peace and a decline in hysterical claims that Russia is about to destroy the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Take advantage of the improved opportunity to organize for a new security and development paradigm! |
July 6--U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty, from the Western District of Louisiana, issued an injunction preventing government agencies and officials from communicating with social media companies "for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms." The injunction was granted based on the plaintiffs' claims that they would have "a substantial threat of irreparable injury" during the litigation itself. |
July 3—As the United States (or at least some in the United States) celebrate Independence Day, it is worth reflecting on what is meant by “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” |
