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.
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.”
June 27—Anglo-American NATO is driving an escalatory and acute danger of unsurvivable nuclear war, by demanding that Russia surrender its role as a world power and that China do likewise. Today, the most concentrated aspect of this threat is the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP). This plant is currently a central element of a plan to escalate the conflict to bring NATO into direct military confrontation with the Russian Federation.
June 23—Significant breaks are developing in the trajectory toward war, increasing the potential to free the world from geopolitics, even as Anglo-American lunatics are promoting the scenario of a supposed Russian attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear plant as a basis for a full confrontation between NATO and Russia.
June 16—The LaRouche movement held a meeting of the International Peace Coalition on Friday, involving several dozen participants from a dozen nations, representing a growing number of labor unions, social movements, political and religious groupings. They brainstormed for two and a half hours on actions to be taken, in a process encouraged by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche. Regular follow-up meetings will be held to report back on steps taken and to plan future activity.
June 11—The topsy-turvy world of the West is becoming more unglued by the day, while the new, non-unipolar paradigm exemplified by the work of the BRICS is expanding in potential. Will the war for peace be fought and won?
June 6—As we mark the 55th anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the former Attorney General and U.S. Senator, and the likely Democratic nominee for the 1968 presidential election, we must seize the opportunity to make the vision of peace expressed by President John F. Kennedy a reality.
June 3—Even as the threat of war increases, as seen in NATO’s scramble to offer Ukraine membership in all but name at its July summit in Vilnius, future-oriented leadership holds the key to creating a new path, and avoiding what were otherwise inevitable.
June 1—Before us, looms the threat of the outbreak of a profound escalation of the NATO-Russia conflict, a trajectory that would lead to nuclear warfare and possible complete human extinction. Somewhat more distant on the horizon is what could be called the “Green Death” — the destruction of productive capabilities, including, prominently, agriculture, in the name of protecting the planet for a future humanity (of less than one billion people). These twin challenges demand an affirmation of the beautiful truth of the human identity — of the potential, across cultures and time, to contribute a new discovery, a new act of courage, of enduring value, to the future. A new paradigm based on the true nature of the human individual, is required — nothing less will work!
April 17—The tremendously inspiring and demanding conference of the Schiller Institute this weekend, and the concert of the Schiller Institute NYC Community Chorus concluding it, demonstrate that there is something extremely powerful, something relevant and necessary, in the ideas of Lyndon LaRouche for the world today.
April 11—In his 2004 article “Toward a Second Treaty of Westphalia,” Lyndon LaRouche writes that “often, as now, a wave of development which has been unfolding, but underrated, even usually unsuspected, unfolding over the greater part of a millennium, or even much longer, becomes suddenly … the insistent, virtually decisive, global political issue of the present moment. It were as if the fishbowl had been smashed by external forces.”
April 9—The recent dark age of mankind, a multi-decade era of wars and armed conflict, economic stagnation with respect to our potential, and of anti-human cultural decline, is coming to an end, one way or another: either through the fiery destruction of nuclear war, or through the coming into being of a new paradigm.
April 4—Former U.S. President Trump was arraigned on 34 felony charges in a transparently political and legally ridiculous prosecution. Whether this latest display of the use of the justice system for lawfare—a result of leaving insufficiently challenged the political prosecution of Lyndon LaRouche—boosts Trump’s standing in the eyes of the electorate or, in coordination with other charges, ties him up in judicial proceedings that will possibly brand him a felon, one thing is for sure: this development is as if intended to be engrossing.
March 28—The United States is hosting its second “Submit for Democracy” event, drawing ridicule for the composition of its guest list, the overwhelming hypocrisy permeating the discussions, and the wild contortions required to present the word “democracy” as meaning, in the words of Lewis Carroll in his Through the Looking Glass, “just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Samantha Power will lecture attendees on the “rule of law.” Antony Blinken will hold an event with President Zelenskyy to explain why the war must go on (expressing this sentiment through the rejection of any actual means of achieving peace). Deputy U.S. Attorney General Lisa Monaco spoke about efforts to prevent the more than one hundred million U.S. users of Tiktok from continuing to communicate via the platform. An event on the internet will claim that democracies must “stand against the misuse of technology to repress, control, divide, and disenfranchise” — as the Twitter Files have shown the U.S. to have done. The Netherlands, a member of the European Union that has banned RT and Sputnik, will lead an event on how “freedom of expression and media freedom are a precondition for a well-functioning democracy and a free society.”
March 20—Schiller Institute Founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche delivered a speech “The Eurasian Land-Bridge Concept, the Answer to the Strategic Crisis” on March 22, 2003, just as the murderous U.S. invasion of Iraq had begun. In it, she identified the growing collaboration between Russia, China, India, and other countries as a hopeful force for the future. Her keynote address opened the second day of the Schiller Institute’s March 21-23, 2003 conference in Bad Schwalbach, Germany, titled “How To Reconstruct a Bankrupt World.”
