June 22—A great potential for change exists in the world, even in the countries of NATO. What sort of spark can catalyze the potential seen in the ferment of anti-war, anti-green, anti-inflation agitation, to produce a new strategic, economic, and cultural architecture? |
June 12—You have likely noticed by now the many attempts being made to “explain away” what is happening with inflation and the U.S. economy. Some debate whether it is transitory or long-term, while others debate whether it is Putin’s fault or Biden’s. The LaRouche movement thinks that fools speaking this way should be ignored. |
June 7—Only a paradigm shift of the nations of NATO can shift the world’s political trajectory away from nuclear war, and, on Tuesday, the international LaRouche movement, the key force in driving that shift in paradigm, made a huge leap in its potential to effect that change. |
June 2—The most recent manifestation of empire has taken the form, since World War II, of an Anglo-American “special relationship” dedicated, especially since the fall of the Soviet Union, to ruling a unipolar world under its financial, cultural, and military control. |
May 24, 2022—What is the future envisioned by the nations of NATO? Does the concept of future even have a meaningful existence in the White House or the City of London? Where is the source of economic growth? Where is the impassioned drive to pull the nations of the world together to ensure an adequate food supply, an end to poverty through the creation of health and other infrastructure, or a Manhattan Project-style crash program for nuclear fusion? Do the elites gathering in Davos even want to achieve such goals? |
How many politicians who denounce Nazi symbolism and ideology in the U.S. are actually supporting it in Ukraine? |
May 16—Tens of billions of dollars are being poured into Ukraine to extend a bloody conflict that will continue to claim the lives of (primarily) Ukrainians and Russians, based on the idea that eventually a Ukrainian “victory” can be secured over Russia. But where are that money and the weapons it is used to purchase going? Perhaps we have just seen an aspect of its effects in racist murderer Payton Gendron, who killed ten people in Buffalo over the weekend. What’s the connection? |
May 9—During the celebrations in Moscow for Victory Day—celebrating the triumph over Nazism—Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke of the threat NATO and Ukrainian militarism pose today to Russia’s security, and of the “timely” and “pre-emptive strike” he ordered against the “absolutely unacceptable threat” to Russia. |
May 3—As the world hurtles towards nuclear war, it seems that nobody is home in the corridors of power in NATO-land. |
May 1—A small number of people are implementing a policy that, if not stopped, will destroy much or all of humanity in a devastating nuclear war. |
Apr. 26—A war is now taking place, of NATO against Russia, fought primarily on Ukrainian soil and involving primarily Ukrainian soldiers (and civilians). The London Economist, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and the Atlantic Council are just a few of the Anglo-American institutions taking a lead in promoting not peace, but a decisive military defeat for Russia, fighting that nation’s forces even if it takes every last Ukrainian to do so. |
April 19—An exponentially widening disconnect exists between the words spoken by the trans-Atlantic elite and the reality to which those words are meant to apply. |
April 12—The durable survival of humanity, in a condition of joyous and thriving growth, demands, immediately, that the guiding paradigm of the Anglo-American elite — through institutions financial, environmental, military, academic, and propagandistic — be immediately replaced with a new paradigm in coherence with the true nature of mankind as the only known species capable of creative reason. |
April 7—The kind of peace that could prevail in the world right now is a terrifying, existential threat to the Anglo-American empire. And that drives its desperation for warfare of the endless (or nuclear-apocalyptic) variety, along with the intentional and worldwide economic disruption brought about through the fast-growing sanctions regime. |
March 31—The futile attempt to maintain the presumedly unipolar world of the last three decades could lead only to civilization-ending nuclear warfare, with green-tinged destruction of the physical economy along the way. Although that is the path that the Anglo-American establishment appears to have committed itself to, it is a course that increasing portions of the world are abandoning — in thought, and in action. |
March 27 (EIRNS)—The Atlanticists are operating under the delusion that their world order can be maintained—that instrumentalized phrases like “democracy” and “freedom” will continue to hold sway; that the financialization of the economy can be continued; that the “rules-based order” can keep its grip on the world; that the nations of the world will obediently attach the chains of zero-growth green ideology; that impulses towards a multipolar order can be crushed or co-opted; that change is impossible. |
March 22—Bad news abounds! U.S. and NATO officials issue stern warnings of Russia’s supposedly imminent crossing of the “biological or chemical weapon attack” red line (of Iraq and Syria fame) — a red line designed as a trigger for military escalation. |
March 20—We live under the immediate threat of general, nuclear war, capable of annihilating the human species, and of an economic suicide spiral destructive of human life and progress. What is the way out? |
March 17—Asking whether Putin’s actions in Ukraine are illegal under international law raises the question of whether international law exists at all. |
March 10—“In light of the escalating Ukraine crisis, people around the world are urgently asking themselves and their political leaders where this will all end. Is this heading towards a very big, perhaps even thermonuclear, global confrontation? Are we facing a reverse, more dangerous Cuban Missile Crisis? Will Mankind even survive?”So begins the Schiller Institute’s petition to “Convoke an International Conference to Establish A New Security and Development Architecture for All Nations.” Today, the Schiller Institute will be publishing a list of notable signers of the petition, and leading members of the LaRouche movement will be publicizing it broadly, through social media and other means. The international conference called for cannot consist only of those nations already coalescing into a new paradigm of international relations. Without the involvement of leading trans-Atlantic countries, emphatically including the U.S., it were impossible to establish a new system on this planet. The reasons are economic and strategic. The enormous speculative financial bubble — valued in the quadrillions of dollars — and the increasing mountains of central bank money gushing in to keep it afloat, are running up against reality. Galloping inflation, caused by money-printing and green anti-growth / anti-human policies, is being lamely blamed on Vladimir Putin (as are seemingly all of the world’s ills). The people of the U.S. and EU are told that skyrocketing energy prices are Putin’s fault, that the physical economic dislocations caused by sanctions are Putin’s fault, and that all manner of inflation and price increases are caused by Putin personally. A new weapon of mass destruction is being created — a misled and thoughtless population, led by the nose to righteously denounce the latest authoritarian boogeyman while their own nations create the conditions for warfare and economic misery. The answer is a Peace of Westphalia approach, to create an integrated security and development architecture that sees the benefit of the other as the goal of nations and of individuals. It is for such a new paradigm that the people of the trans-Atlantic, in particular, must agitate, to prevent their nations from marching into a strategic confrontation in which one false move, one simple mistake, could lead to a chain reaction that would unleash nuclear war from which mankind might never recover. “It is time for institutions and individuals from every nation to step forward and join the mobilization for an international conference to establish a new security and development architecture for all nations,” concludes the statement. Look to the schillerinstitute.com during the day today for an announcement on the petition, and on what you can do to make that new architecture a reality.

PDF March 3, 2022 (EIRNS)—The LaRouche Organization today released a 64-page pamphlet under the title: “Stop Global Britain’s Green War Drive.” There is an irony in the title which is essential for all citizens, of all nations, to grasp, so as to become what Friedrich Schiller called a “patriot of one’s nation and a citizen of the world.”That irony is that the hysteria being riled up against Russia over the military operation in Ukraine is intended to blind the world to the actual war being fought on a global scale, against the entire world’s population. The evidence is not hidden—it is literally being shoved in your face every day, every hour, in the form of economic decay and hyperinflation, driven by the demand that the human race commit genocide against itself by shutting down fossil fuels, shutting down nuclear power plants, denying modern technology to the already impoverished and starving former colonial nations—all to “save the planet” from carbon. Regardless of the easily demonstrated scientific fact that carbon has essentially nothing to do with the climate, the Green New Deal is the new religion of the royals and the billionaire bankers and speculators who gather every year at the Davos World Economic Forum to celebrate their demonic power to impose Malthusian genocide on the world’s population through their control of credit. Mark Carney, the former head of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and a hitman for Prince Charles and the royals, proudly described their plan for genocide in a Nov. 13, 2021, Guardian op-ed: “In April [2021], we launched the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which now covers the entire waterfront of finance: banks, insurers, pension funds, export credit agencies and asset managers. It comprises more than 450 leading financial institutions from 45 countries. Its members have committed to managing their assets, which total more than $130tn, in line with achieving 1.5C…. New loans and investments from GFANZ members will not only fund green projects such as renewable power, but will also go where the emissions are—in sectors such as autos, steel, cement—and back those companies with plans to decarbonize, while withdrawing capital from those companies that aren’t moving fast enough.” [emphasis added] This plan to destroy development internationally was rejected by Russia, China, and India, among others, knowing that their economic progress, as well as that of all developing nations, depends on fossil fuels (and more advanced forms of energy, such as nuclear fission and eventually fusion). This was the last straw for Charles and the Lords of the City of London—“Off with their heads!” This is, of course, what Lyndon H. LaRouche has warned of over the past fifty years. The financial oligarchy runs the world economy and the governments of the western world. The decisions of war and peace are made by the banking elite, while the military-industrial complex is but a subset of that imperial structure. That is why the British and the United States were so ruthlessly driving NATO’s military forces up to Russia’s border, while a similar process is taking place in the Pacific against China. They would prefer there be no world war, for which there would be no winner, and very possibly human annihilation (but better war than bankruptcy!). The economic warfare is nonetheless war, what they so quaintly describe as the “financial nuclear option,” or the “mother of all sanctions.” Quite openly, the White House and other European leaders have declared their intent to destroy the Russian economy, while planning the same for China. Isn’t it interesting that Russia’s military operation is described as a war crime, justifying the total destruction of the Russian economy—did we ever hear this about the “shock and awe” against Iraq, Libya, or Syria, none of which had any legal or moral justification? With all the screaming about civilian deaths in Ukraine, are there any cries of pain for the 24 million Afghan citizens now being intentionally starved to death as Joe Biden steals their money? Mankind is at a precipice. It is heading rapidly into a new Dark Age. This can be reversed, but only by a total transformation, a new strategic architecture for all nations, which also assures the right to development for all. This is the intention of the Schiller Institute petition, Convoke an International Conference to Establish A New Security and Development Architecture for All Nations, which you should sign and circulate. This is also the intention of the LaRouche Organization pamphlet referenced above: “Stop Global Britain’s Green War Drive.” Contact us to get multiple copies of this pamphlet, to distribute and to organize your fellow men and women. Your life depends on it. |
Feb. 24—“Before we finally and irrevocably reach the point of no return in mankind’s history — the point at which a global, thermonuclear war obliterates the human species — we must act swiftly to correct the absolute disaster that the imperial policy of the EU and the United States has created in Ukraine, and in relation to Russia and China. And we must especially eliminate the roots of this civilizational crisis, before the point of no return is reached.” So wrote Helga Zepp-LaRouche in a March 8, 2014, article. Eight years later, her analysis is absolutely spot-on.The failure of NATO and the United States to respond seriously to Russia’s December 2021 security demands has led to a situation where President Putin felt that he had no choice but to launch a “special military operation” in Ukraine to achieve its demilitarization and denazification, before the situation in Ukraine, including increasing quantities of materiel and foreign military service members, created an absolutely unbearable security threat. The literally Nazi menace in Ukraine, installed in that coup, was exposed in a powerful expose published by Executive Intelligence Review in February 2014: “Western Powers Back Neo-Nazi Coup in Ukraine.” The roots of the civilizational crisis driving the mad rush towards conflict with Russia and China is the collapsing the trans-Atlantic financial system, and the hysterical intent to use military threats and “green” blackmail to maintain the unipolar supremacy of the trans-Atlantic elite. As stated in the Schiller Institute’s February 23 petition — which is drawing an increasing number of signatures — “behind this very real danger of war, and the cause of that danger, is the blowout of the entire trans-Atlantic financial system…. The City of London and Wall Street, the owners of that bankrupt system, are desperate to destroy any functioning alternative to their system — such as Russia and China’s alliance … — and the financial Establishment has openly stated that this is what is at stake.” Will that establishment’s mad demand for submission be overcome, to be replaced by a new paradigm, a new security and development architecture for all nations? The answer lies in our hands. Join the LaRouche movement’s work to demand the immediate convocation of an international conference like that which crafted the Peace of Westphalia. The petition is available in English here.

Feb. 20—FLASH: The Elysée Palace released a statement early Feb. 21 Paris time, stating that President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin are prepared, in principle, to meet in a summit over Ukraine. The statement indicates that this follows the initiatives of President Emmanuel Macron to promote the “security and strategic stability in Europe.” The text states, “Presidents Biden and Putin have both accepted the principle of such a summit,” contingent on there being no invasion of Ukraine by Russia. No response from Washington nor Moscow is known by EIR at the time of this Alert.The title and theme of the keynote given by Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “Long-Term Survival: A New International Security Architecture,” at the Institute’s international conference Feb. 19, provides the way to look at key events in today’s fast-breaking, dangerous situation. There will be no “long term” for humanity, without curbing and ending the dangerous push by the U.S./U.K./NATO bloc for confrontation with Russia over Ukraine, to the point of igniting nuclear conflagration. We are called to act in the short term. Similarly, without short-term action, the deadly march of famine and disease are reaching the point of mass kill-off, and the end of any “long-term” survival for humanity, as of our present-day ranks of 7.8 billion people. On the war push, the weekend updates include the following. Today, French President Emmanuel Macron held calls with President Putin, Ukraine President Zelenskyy, and President Biden. In Washington, Biden met in the Situation Room of the White House for a special National Security Council (NSC,), with an expanded, in-person attendance, including heads of the Departments of Defense, Treasury, and State, the CIA, the NSC, and other agencies. The two-hour session, according to the read-out, concerned dealing with alleged Russian aggression against Ukraine. Before the meeting, Secretary of State Tony Blinken went on three Sunday morning network news programs to stress Biden’s announcement Feb. 18, that “intelligence” confirms that Putin has “made the decision” to attack Ukraine, unless diplomacy prevails. Blinken repeated that he will meet in person with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Feb. 24, in Europe, if “Russia does not invade Ukraine” before that time. The G7 will also meet Feb. 24, hosted by Germany, current G7 chair, for the purpose of heads of state and government to discuss “the geopolitical situation related to the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border.” This was announced Feb. 18, and also a joint G7 statement was issued Feb. 19, subtitled, “Russia’s threatening military build-up around Ukraine.” In the Donbas, escalated shelling and violence are continuing. Today, the Foreign Ministry of Belarus announced that certain of the joint exercises with Russia called “Union Resolve,” which were to have ended Feb. 20, will instead be continued, given the increased tension. Yesterday, President Putin, joined by Belarus President Lukashenko, observed a successful exercise of the nuclear-capable triad of air, submarine and ground missile launching. On the pandemic and famine front, the situation worsens. Look at the resurgence of well-known diseases, recently controlled, if not conquered. In Africa, Mali is the latest location of polio spreading; the African Union has announced plans to combat it, but resources are desperately short. In Afghanistan, measles is spreading, in addition to the impact of COVID-19. On COVID-19 itself, WHO Executive Director Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned Feb. 18, of the “dangerous narrative that the pandemic is over,” saying it is not true. “Not when 70,000 people a week are dying from a treatable and preventable disease…. Not when 83% of the population of Africa is yet to receive a single dose of vaccine. Not when health systems continue to strain and crack under the caseload. Not when we have a highly transmissible virus circulating almost unchecked, with too little surveillance to track its evolution.” Plus, conditions are ideal for the emergence of “more transmissible, more dangerous variants.” For the world food supply, there are huge shortfalls, from the combined impact of general hyperinflation, lack of infrastructure (covered up as “climate change”), cartel domination, and lack of concerted government action. There are absolute shortages in fertilizers, herbicides and fuels, among other key inputs. Beside the fact that the world 2022 wheat harvest is expected down by 10 million metric tons, the 2022 oilseed harvest will be down for the fourth year in a row. The South American Soybean Belt of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina projects its harvests, starting soon, will be down by millions of tons. In China, major soy-processing facilities run by the cartels—Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, Cargill etc—have just announced temporary closures for several weeks, because of hyperinflation and short soy supplies. Chinese leaders can be expected to do something about this. But millions will die, in the “market democracies” of the dying Western casino system, unless we force nation-serving measures, as Lyndon LaRouche laid out in his development-economics programs so clearly. These are the situations requiring a vision for a new architecture for “long-term security,” and the courage for short term, emergency action. We can take up the call sounded in the Schiller Institute Feb. 19 conference, “100 Seconds to Midnight on the Doomsday Clock—We Need a New Security Architecture!” During the conference, in one of the video clips of Lyndon LaRouche, he spoke about the nature of man being to solve problems. Doing it, he said, brings joy. We have the opportunity for great joy right now, given the severity of the problems. A note of hope was sounded today at the close of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The music at the beautiful ceremony featured the Ode to Joy, by Ludwig van Beethoven and Friedrich Schiller.

Feb. 17—“Why Ukraine? Why now?” Although what had been promoted as the day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has come and gone, and as Russia mobilizes to move troops from its western border regions and Belarus back to their bases, the tremendous threat of military conflict has not abated. Shrill cries continue to emanate from the U.S., UK, NATO, and legacy media. And the threat cannot be resolved by actions taken within the “Ukrainian” arena itself.The strategic crisis manifesting itself in eastern Ukraine did not find its origin in that region, and cannot be understood as an event. It is the local eruption of an unresolvable tension inherent in the conflict between the physical-economic necessities of a growing and thriving humanity, and the dying unipolar Anglo-American geopolitical system, which tolerates no rivals to its hegemony. The very identity of that oligarchical system is threatened by the rise of China and the independence of Russia. It is the threat to that oligarchical identity that is driving the conflicts currently seen in Ukraine and Taiwan. It is the bankruptcy of the hyperinflating economies of the trans-Atlantic that demands more-than-endless bailouts to maintain its control. And it is the anti-human nature of that elite that expresses itself in the zero-growth fascism to be enforced through “green” mandates. But the February 4 joint agreement between Russia and China expresses in the starkest of terms that the Anglo-American zero-growth financial empire is over: “Today, the world is going through momentous changes, and humanity is entering a new era of rapid development and profound transformation…. A trend has emerged towards redistribution of power in the world; and the international community is showing a growing demand for leadership aiming at peaceful and gradual development.” The “rules-based order” of the so-called West will become the “international law-based order” of the future. The use of “democracy” and “human rights” as pretexts for interfering in other nations’ affairs is over. Security must take on a global, inclusive character. NATO has outlived any useful purpose it once had, and it is time to “jointly build international relations of a new type.” This Russia-China relationship “has no limits” and “there are no ‘forbidden’ areas of cooperation.” The threat of war, of nuclear war that could end civilization, can only be defeated by ushering in, globally, a new paradigm of international relations and of human self-identity. No longer can the bankrupt Anglo-American elites be allowed to dictate their agenda to the entire planet. The world — emphatically including the US itself! — must be freed from this malady of mankind, to take up the beautiful and inspiring challenges of mastering nuclear fusion, eliminating poverty worldwide within a decade, expanding our abilities in space, and revolutionizing the infrastructure platforms of the planet. The peril and promise of this moment of a shattering of paradigms are the topics of the Schiller Institute’s conference this Saturday: “100 Seconds to Midnight on the Doomsday Clock: We Need a New Security Architecture!”

Feb. 3—The days of UK-U.S.-NATO hegemony are over. Will that oligarchical reign end in the hell of thermonuclear obliteration by thousands of hydrogen bombs? Or will it be overcome by the people of the U.S. and other trans-Atlantic nations throwing off their self-imposed shackles, to demand a new mission of progress and growth for all people of the planet?With every passing day, the potential to organize people out of their day-to-day activity grows. This potential takes force from the gathering danger of war—thermonuclear war—that could be unleashed by design or by what would be called, in the realm of events, “an accident,” but which would simply be an included feature of the UK-NATO-U.S.-created geopolitical environment against which Russia is raising its just and insistent demands. (In a recent example, Boris Johnson promises Ukraine the noose-like “support” of his nation’s military and diplomatic “assistance.”) This opportunity for change is fed by the economic collapse brought on by the twin factors of a relentless financialization of the economy—whereby a shrinking productive layer is squeezed harder and harder still to extract growing wealth for the oligarchy and its pathetic lackeys—and the direct and intentional destruction of the physical potential of the economy, under the guise of achieving “green” goals. But the greatest impulse towards an enlivened sense of human potential—and the accompanying impulsion to cast off injustice—comes from visions of the future: development initiatives crafted by the LaRouche movement over decades, China’s meteoric growth and its Belt and Road Initiative, Russia’s rock-solid commitment to multipolarity and sovereignty, and the electrifying moments of inspiration sparked by scientific discovery and works of cultural beauty. In Beijing, Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on Friday, the next level of their collaboration in the fields of economy, science, medicine, and security cooperation. China has conquered extreme poverty within its borders, and it has addressed a threat of terrorism in its western Xinjiang region in a way far superior to the treatment of Afghanistan at the hands of the West, whose spokespeople cry alligator tears for the suppression of Muslim Uyghurs while murdering the people of Afghanistan through starvation brought on by withholding that nation’s rightful financial resources — not to speak of the refusal to provide the additional development collaboration that should be provided by its repentant erstwhile occupiers. The interests of the people of the U.S., of Canada, of Ibero America, of Europe, lie not with the grotesque geopolitical system of the Anglo-American oligarchy, but in repudiating that outlook in exchange for the joy of collaboration, of international friendship, of joint work to expand humanity’s powers in outer space and our mastery of the subatomic domain. The war-time propaganda of the legacy media and the social media censors must be defeated. The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute play the key international role in bringing together the shared interests of Russia, China, India, and the United States, and identifying the deadly axioms that cause people to choose their own doom. The future is human, not green!
