Nov. 13, 2024 (EIRNS)—In a Nov. 8 interview, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor spoke to the kind of profound re-thinking of policy needed in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election. “People don’t think these things through,” Macgregor exclaimed. “We’ve got to give up the whole idea of sanctioning, bullying and threatening. We’ve got to get out a clean sheet of paper and start from scratch.” Macgregor, who served briefly as a senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense in Trump’s first term in office, pointed to “the financial crisis looming over the horizon” as a crisis that may help the U.S. to do just that.
Oct. 30, 2024 (EIRNS)—We are one week after the historic Oct. 22-24 BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, and less than one week before the Nov. 5 U.S. elections. In the remaining days before that election, the world stands a good chance of being brought to the brink of superpower thermonuclear warfare in two different theaters, and action must be taken now to prevent that, by working with the Global Majority to create a new paradigm of security and development for all. Voting, alone, will not do it.
Oct. 24, 2024 (EIRNS)—The 16th BRICS Summit drew to a close today in Kazan, Russia, with the announcement that the nine current members of the BRICS had agreed to invite 13 countries to join as new “partner states”—representing nearly 1 billion human beings! The BRICS grouping now represents over 4.6 billion people—57% of the world’s population: the Global Majority, to be sure.
Oct. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—Americans may not like hearing it, but what the chairwoman of Russia’s Federation Council Sen. Valentina Matviyenko said is true: “The upcoming U.S. presidential elections will not be the most important event of the year for the world community and will not determine the further course of history…. The BRICS summit will be that event…. The three days of the BRICS summit [Oct. 22-24] and the negotiations of the leaders of the world majority in [Kazan, Russia] the capital of Tatarstan will have a decisive influence on our future,” Matviyenko wrote.
Oct. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—A sober evaluation of the current international strategic situation leads one to conclude that London and Washington may very well unleash Israel to bomb Iran—possibly including its nuclear facilities—in the middle of the Oct. 22-24 BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia
Oct. 9, 2024 (EIRNS)—“We are sitting on two regional crises which could lead to a global escalation” ending in a general world war, Helga Zepp-LaRouche warned listeners today on her weekly Dialogue webcast. “One is Ukraine; and the other is the Middle East. And I think one has to look at these two things together,” she stated, both to understand them and to solve their underlying cause.
Sept. 25, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Wednesday Sept. 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced proposed revisions of Russia’s standing doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons, which significantly lower the threshold for their use—at exactly the moment that new military action by the United States and NATO, acting through Ukraine, is about to cross that threshold. Unless Washington’s policy of seeking the strategic destruction of Russia is changed immediately, the world stands at the brink of global thermonuclear warfare.
Sept. 18, 2024 (EIRNS)—For 67 straight weeks, the International Peace Coalition (IPC) has been warning, and organizing, and meeting about the overriding and immediate danger of nuclear war facing the entire planet—a danger most painfully visible in the Ukraine and Southwest Asia theaters. For 67 weeks, IPC initiator Helga Zepp-LaRouche has been pointing to the breakdown collapse of the City of London and Wall Street “unipolar” system as the underlying cause of that war danger, and systematically elaborating on the solution to the existential crisis: a new security and development architecture based on the principles underlying the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.
Sept. 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—In struggling to make sense of a whirlwind of a week that included open efforts by London and Washington to unleash nuclear war against Russia, and culminated on Sunday afternoon with the second attempted assassination of presidential candidate Donald Trump in two months, it is essential to step back and get some help from Lyndon LaRouche.
Sept. 12, 2024 (EIRNS)—As you read these words, the gun is being cocked to launch a direct NATO-Russia shooting war before the November 5 elections in the U.S. If that is allowed to happen, the world will be a blink-of-an-eye away from global thermonuclear war.
Sept. 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Aug. 20, the New York Times reported that the Biden Administration last March had quietly approved a new “Nuclear Employment Guidance” involving preparing to fight and “win” a three-front nuclear war against Russia, China and North Korea.
Aug. 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—What is it going to take to get the people of the United States and Europe to wake up and realize that their so-called “elected governments” are intentionally trying to corner Russia into launching nuclear weapons to prevent its national extinction at the hands of NATO?
Aug. 19, 2024 (EIRNS)—The wheels are coming off the wagon of deception that is Global NATO’s failing “World War Three for Democracy” roadshow. With the Ukraine adventure having failed, in its intention to provoke the disintegration of Russia; with the failure of the very real and very purposeful assassination of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump; with the now-unfolding failure of the Chicago “Democratic” Convention, which is selecting a candidate, Kamala Harris, who not only did not win a single delegate in 2024, but also did not win a single delegate in her 2020 Presidential race either; with the new multiple cover-stories, each more embarrassing than the next, appearing in various publications in Europe and the U.S. regarding the revisited Nord Stream 2 terrorist action all contradicting one other, but all clearly implicating “Ukraine” and “Zaluzhnyi/Zelenskyy”—wouldn’t you think that the “Grand Design” geniuses at the helm of this cluster-flop would wise up, and change direction?
Aug. 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today is the 53rd anniversary of the fateful Aug. 15, 1971 televised policy speech by President Richard Nixon which announced the end of the fixed-rate international financial system, and the beginning of the era of runaway speculative destruction of the world economy. We take a step back from our daily updates on the strategic situation—which continues to devolve rapidly towards threatened thermonuclear war—to focus renewed attention on the cause of the global military, financial and cultural crises, which Lyndon LaRouche uniquely forecast over a half-century ago.
Aug. 13, 2024 (EIRNS)—The world today stands at the cusp of direct NATO military involvement in a ground, sea, and air war against Russia—the greatest nuclear superpower on the planet. We have gone well beyond the point of utopian, Dr. Strangelove-style threats from think tanks such as the U.K.’s RUSI and Chatham House and the U.S.’s Atlantic Council and Council on Foreign Relations, and the use of NATO-financed and -armed surrogates such as Ukraine. We are now staring at the prospect of imminent direct engagement between NATO and Russian forces in more than one theater of war.
Aug. 11, 2024 (EIRNS)—We again draw our readers’ attention to the urgent warning voiced by Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov on Aug. 4 in an interview with Rossiya-1 TV: “The problem is that there are no circuit breakers anymore…. Strikes on the territory of Russia are allowed. The Americans’ assurances that no such decisions have been made and no indulgences were granted to Kiev, are worthless.”
Aug. 8, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Sunday August 4, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov—one of the country’s most senior diplomats—delivered studied, sobering remarks in an interview with “Rossiya-1” TV channel. He announced that “the era of Moscow’s unilateral concessions [to the U.S. and NATO] is now definitely over.” He also reported on “extremely disturbing” terrorist plans against Russia—apparently including a plot by the U.S.-backed Ukrainian government to assassinate President Putin.
Aug. 1, 2024 (EIRNS)—When Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated back in mid-June of this year that the next 4-5 months leading into the U.S. Presidential election on November 5, “will be—in my view—absolutely decisive whether or not we go into World War III, or if we can go to a New Paradigm,” many may have considered her forecast exaggerated or overstated.
July 26, 2024 (EIRNS)—Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s statement “Call To Create a Council of Reason” begins: “In judging the outlook from the recent NATO summit in Washington, which defined Russia as the ‘most significant and direct threat,’ China as a ‘systemic challenge for the Euro-Atlantic security,’ and generally a perspective of a Global NATO, there seems to be no place anymore for diplomacy and dialogue as means to resolve conflicts.” Washington, D.C., which just hosted, not only the inhuman travesty called Benjamin Netanyahu, but far more significantly and ominously, the NATO summit, is not the place where diplomacy and dialogue find a home at the moment. That condition must be reversed; but how? A “Council of Reason,” an international association of those who dare to assert that the power of ideas, properly placed and advocated, is greater than that of armed force, must assemble, in many nations, as such councils once assembled in America, 250 years ago, in town halls, and eventually in continental congresses.
July 24, 2024 (EIRNS)—China is playing an oversized role in current global diplomatic efforts to bring about peace in the various theaters of war around the world, each of which could escalate to thermonuclear confrontation more rapidly than most care to imagine.
July 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—Helga Zepp-LaRouche issued the following brief statement today:
“The world is still in a state of shock. The only reason the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump failed, was because of the extremely accidental movement of his head by a fraction of an inch, so that his ear, and not his eye, was hit. Had that movement not occurred, the shot could have been Sarajevo 2.0 for throwing the U.S. and subsequently the world into chaos, followed by a global nuclear war.
July 11, 2024 (EIRNS)—The July 9-11 NATO summit in Washington, D.C. concluded today, flooring the gas pedal on an all-out confrontation with nuclear powers Russia and China, crossing multiple red lines all at once. During the summit, the Biden administration announced that:
July 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—It is a clinically proven fact that, when the behavior of a severely neurotic or psychotic individual produces real-world consequences that are contrary to his belief structure, he views those results through the prism of the same psychosis—and concludes that his views have been vindicated, once again.
June 29, 2024 (EIRNS)—After watching the debacle billed as the June 27 Trump-Biden Presidential debate, thoughtful people around the world are urgently asking the critical question: Biden is clearly not running the U.S. government, so who is? Who actually controls the policies and actions of the man who has his finger on the nuclear button, as the United States and the United Kingdom escalate two wars (Ukraine and Southwest Asia), either of which could lead to a nuclear confrontation with Russia and China?
