We study tonight the crucial strategic insights needed to understand and in a more important way, how to deal with this problem. As Shelly said in his Defense Of Poetry: The poets are the unacknowledged legislators for mankind. |
May 13—Faced with an unprecedented evil—the ongoing, electronically-transmitted genocide, transpiring at this moment in Gaza, with no trans-Atlantic government acting to stop it—we, the people, are required to evoke from ourselves, and then deploy, an unprecedented good. Neither the world in general, nor we as individuals, can, or will, avoid the truth of this moment. We are being tested in the balance. Our self-conception as human beings is placed on one side of the scale. On the other side of the scale are weighed the lives of what was once 2 million people in Gaza. Over 350,000 people have been forced to flee, now from Rafah, where they were told they would be safe. The “red line” has been crossed, and nothing has been done. The Palestinians are forced to flee again some for the eighth or more time in eight months, now out of Rafah, and to where … and to what? |
May 11—Can all of humanity think the way that the poet Friedrich Schiller forecast that it would, one day, in his poem An die Freude? Can all of humanity be called to service, not the way doomed governments call their young to die in senseless war, but for the purpose of eradicating poverty, famine, disease and war itself, as one American President—the last flawed, but truly free, and then assassinated American President—proposed in his 1961 Inaugural Address? |
Beethoven’s idea of humanity must prevail, now. How can millions be brought to the threshold of “thinking like Beethoven” in time to reverse our destructive course? How can the genius of the Ninth Symphony free us from ourselves? |
The Schiller Institute and the LaRouche Organization will launch a campaign, using the 50-year-old publication Executive Intelligence Review, and its new, derivative Emergency Alert Service, to launch “special cultural operation” to get the newly awakened Americans and others, to “think like Beethoven,” and on behalf of humanity. |
May 3—In the midst of the tumultuous events of this past week—some hopeful, as with the hundreds of worldwide student assemblies convened to challenge the Anglosphere’s genocide in Gaza; others, catastrophic, as were the recent disastrous legislative actions to finance war, and to suppress freedom of thought, passed into law by the United States Congress—it is important for the LaRouche Organization to call attention to that which defines the higher battle under way for the soul of what was, only a short time ago, known and defended as Western Civilization, and the sovereign nation state. |
Tonight’s Fireside Chat, held in the shadow of both President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon LaRouche, will propose what people, who still believe in freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, and freedom of advocacy, can and must do to roll back the new fascist onslaught on the human mind, a form of “menticide” which must be vigorously confronted and defeated. |
Join Bill Jones, Dennis Speed, and Dave Christie tonight! |
April 19—April 19, 1775 marks for many the “official beginning” of the American Revolution: the battle of Lexington-Concord—“the shot heard ’round the world.” On April 18, 249 years later, a “vote heard around the world” was taken in the Security Council of the United Nations. Algeria, France, Slovenia, Malta, Guyana, Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Russia and China took action to recognize Palestine as a state member of the United Nations. This was a vote heard around the world, on behalf of human freedom, justice and equality. There were two equivocators, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, that abstained. Only the United States, in a vote which will live in infamy, opposed Palestine’s membership. Because it is a permanent member of the Security Council, that one vote by the U.S. stopped the resolution from going through. |
Speakers Ray McGovern and Jose Vega, both active in the International Peace Coalition, will report on their respective actions to resolve today's crisis with the concept of peace through development. |
April 15—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, in two discussions with colleagues on Monday, stressed that, in this potentially catastrophic world situation, it is essential that the proceedings of the Saturday Schiller Institute conference, “The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia,” be made available in a condensed format within 48 hours. The United Nations will see discussions in the next days which could prove to be momentous. The Schiller Institute comprehensively presented the Lyndon LaRouche insight, still controversial to many, that a comprehensive physical-economic solution must either accompany, or precede, any efficient proposal for the resolution of the population wars in Ukraine and in the Gaza/West Bank. |
April 12—Today’s Schiller Institute Meeting, “The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia” is motivated by the following conceptual premise, stated by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche yesterday in her opening address to the 45th consecutive Friday meeting of the International Peace Coalition: "But it’s very clear that unless we get to what we have been discussing from the very beginning—a New Paradigm, where we overcome geopolitics with a new international security and development architecture, which includes all countries of the planet—the scenarios, or the theaters of the potential war, will just shift from one crisis spot to the next, until we have a really different approach on world politics. |
Speakers Jason Ross and Robert Castle will discuss why optimism is a scientific principle, why the science of physical economy proves the human mind is the primary source of wealth in the universe, and why the Malthusian destruction of human life through war and other means is immoral, wasteful and a crime against both humanity and non-humanity. |
We must defeat those forces that are responsible for 9/11, for the Nordstream Pipeline explosion, and for Russia’s Crocus Theater massacre. That is the pre-requisite for an Oasis Plan, and for a plan out of otherwise-inevitable planetary destruction in the short term. |
Voices of sanity must prevail, before it is too late. |
March 27—"The unspeakable is regularly said in Gaza. From teenage girls hoping they are killed; to being told a child is the last survivor from their entire family. Such horror is no longer unique here…. Amid it all, so many brave, generous and tireless Palestinians continue to support one another, and sister UN agencies and UNICEF continue. |
Today, Gaza is the world’s Gethsemane. Tonight’s presentation will be given by Dennis Speed |
March 26—It is genocide, says the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese. She spoke from Geneva yesterday, regarding the systematic mass-killing campaign now being conducted by the Israel Defense Forces, under orders from the Netanyahu regime, and subsidized and fortified by the weapons, money, and influence of Great Britain, the United States, and NATO. |
We need action, and action now, by independent, cognitively tough citizens that will act, now to give the world the sort of alternative indicated in the LaRouche Oasis Plan, and the actions, including candidacies, designed to bring this about. Speakers: Diane Sare, Jose Vega |
March 18—What’s really going on, today, in the global strategic situation? What is important, and what isn’t? The world is threatened by intentional or accidental thermonuclear war; whole regions of the globe are in upheaval; resolving the complex problems in Ukraine, or in Gaza requires international solutions. But how do you determine what to do about these situations, if you don’t know what’s actually going on beneath the surface, or why? How do you propose and then implement correct policy in a constantly shifting world-process? |
Now, it can no longer be denied: There are, in 2024, no problems in the United States, or in any other trans-Atlantic nation, which are not international. |
March 14—After “MacBibi” Netanyahu’s March 12 AIPAC rant, it was clear to even the sympathetic, that he had to go. Enraged by the 2024 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community report which said that “Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections,” King Bibi told the assembled, “The truth of the matter is that the people of Israel overwhelmingly support the policies set forth by myself and my government. They overwhelmingly support the need for total victory. Overwhelmingly. They overwhelmingly oppose the idea of having a Palestinian state rammed down our throat.” |
Speakers: Cynthia Rush, Richard Freeman As with Germany in the 1920s, today, in the 2020s, NATO is deploying to attempt to bail our hopelessly-indebted financial system out, using war to depopulate and loot the whole world, in the name of “saving the planet”—which means saving the financial system, which cannot be done. |
March 10—“The crass ineptitude of a quarter of a century of Western military interventions should have taught us some lessons. Apparently not.” |
Tonight, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern begins tonight’s Fireside Chat on the significance of the latest developments in the NATO/Russia War, the welcome exit of Ukrainian Cookie Monster Victoria Nuland, and the killings and famine in Gaza. |
