Jan. 15—Major protests this weekend marked the 100 days of fighting in Israel and Gaza. Protests in Washington and London drew hundreds of thousands. Rallies in many other nations, including Ireland, Italy, France, South Africa, and Malaysia joined the call for a ceasefire and a durable peace. |
Jan. 12—South Africa’s blistering presentation at the International Court of Justice through hours of presentations that documented, powerfully, the violations by the State of Israel of the Genocide Convention, demands a response both from that Court, and from the world. It represents an historic day, marking a change in world paradigm. A nation of the Global South has demanded the application of principles that the Anglo-American NATO bloc verbalizes, but does not adhere to. |
Jan. 4—In a process springing from the efforts of the International Peace Coalition, Helga Zepp-LaRouche participated in a dialogue among religious leaders and activists to discuss the urgent need to prevent the expanding Israel-Gaza conflict from exploding into regional and global war. |
Dec. 29—The enormous amounts of money, time, resources, and human labor and ingenuity wasted annually in military expenses is mind-boggling. Maintaining a foreign policy based on hegemonism and domination brings destruction across the world, and decay at home. |
Dec. 24—On this day when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, there is little jubilation in that city. The usually festive marches in town are canceled for more somber statements about the terrible destruction the Palestinians are currently experiencing, in Israel’s self-destructive overreaction to the Hamas attack of Oct. 7 from Gaza. |
Dec. 23—Countries that have committed great wrongs have had to undergo a process of redemption to regain their moral status in the community of nations. Germany following World War II and South Africa following apartheid come to mind. The United States, by standing essentially alone in the world in support of the barbaric destruction of Gaza by Israel, is consigning itself to an infamy that will outlast—by how long, we wonder—the United States’ profoundly necessary reconciliation. |
Dec. 7—The barbaric, agonizing destruction of Gaza by an Israeli government with no long-term thought to its own interests, calls upon us all to demand an end to geopolitics and its replacement by a paradigm of international and human affairs informed by love for the uniquely creative potential of the human individual. |
Nov. 28—The temporary truce continues to hold in Israel-Palestine, with the ongoing release of Israelis and Palestinians, and the continuing flow of supplies. But what does the future hold, and who is responsible for shaping it? |
Nov. 23—The Anglo-American empire, in efforts to continue to exert outsized control over world affairs, has adopted the geopolitical outlook of preventing cooperative development among nations, especially in Eurasia. This is the context for the intended explosion of the Israel-Gaza conflict into a broader regional war, to target the expansion of the BRICS process and the potential for regional integration in the mode of the LaRouche movement-proposed World Land-Bridge. |
Nov. 19—The doors to a new era of history are being opened by a flurry of political activism, diplomatic work, and planning for a new paradigm. In California, youthful activists demanding a ceasefire in Gaza stormed the annual California convention of the Democratic Party, shutting down the event for the rest of the day. |
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? |
