April 22—Why is the spectacular failure of U.S. representative government and leadership, seen in Saturday’s “bipartisan,” “democratic” $100 billion vote to continue to finance the no-win depopulation wars in Gaza and Ukraine, a de facto active provocation for World War Three? And what can be done to reverse that failure? |
April 17—The broader implication of Iran’s April 14 drone and missile strike against Israel—which was launched in response to Israel’s April 1 destruction of Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria and the killing of several top Iranian military leaders—is a game-changer which has brought the world to a breakpoint. Either we use this moment of maximum danger to bring about a development-based solution and paradigm shift for Southwest Asia and the world, or we face the rapidly escalating danger of nuclear Armageddon. The widest possible, immediate distribution of the video and written report summarizing the historic April 13 Schiller Institute conference on LaRouche’s Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia is decisive to shaping that outcome for the Good. |
April 8—The British-American gambit to use NATO’s advance through Ukraine to demolish Russia and overthrow the Putin government, has been a monumental failure, as even the blind can see. A half-million Ukrainian lives later, what does the London-Washington axis propose to do? Double down on strategic stupidity, and now send NATO troops directly to Ukraine, and dance right up to the brink of thermonuclear war with Russia. |
April 5—When, in 1429, the 17-year-old army commander Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc) looked before her at the city of Orleans, and considered how she would break the English siege against it, what was her vision of the plan of battle? What directions did she give her troops? It was not Joan’s comprehensive grasp of military strategy which inspired the French army, defeated by the English for nearly 100 years, to follow her. It was her “warrior soul,” fighting on behalf of a higher purpose, which transmitted to that very competent, but very uninspired, French fighting force, the concept of victory that they had lacked for decades, and that she embodied. |
April 3—In opening remarks to her weekly Dialogue webcast on April 3 , Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche warned of the twin dangers of the world careening towards nuclear war, and of the intentional destruction of international law itself, which is one of the last remaining bulwarks to that war. |
March 31—It is a truism that “death is a natural part of life”—but genocide is not. From Gaza to Haiti to Sudan, from Argentina to Egypt, Mankind is witnessing the intentional elimination of millions upon millions of human beings whose future contribution to humanity’s development is being snuffed out. Don’t look for explanations in the specific circumstances of each case—the gruesome bombings in Gaza; the satanic gangs in Port-au-Prince; the scorched earth Schachtian economic policies in Buenos Aires. |
March 25—Even as the March 22 terror attack in Russia, the sharply escalating Russia-Ukraine war, and ongoing NATO plans to put boots on the ground in Ukraine threaten to push the planet over the edge into thermonuclear war, those who would stop such insanity should take careful note of two developments over the last 48 hours. |
March 22—I think all thinking people are aware of the fact that the war danger is accelerating at an incredible speed. It’s almost impossible to think where to start with the evolving crises of humanity in which we find ourselves. Not only do we have an increasing danger of a NATO versus Russia war coming almost around the corner; a worsening of the situation with China; but also, you have these unbelievable humanitarian crises which are killing people by the hundreds of thousands. |
March 20—On the night of March 17, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that a direct military conflict between Russia and U.S.-led NATO troops in Ukraine would mean the planet was only one step away from thermonuclear World War III. Putin was responding to a reporter’s question regarding French President Emmanuel Macron’s Feb. 26 comments that the deployment of NATO ground troops in Ukraine could not be ruled out. Putin, whose election victory had just been confirmed, was succinct as to what this would mean: |
March 16—French President Emmanuel Macron chose the tenth anniversary of Crimea’s March 16, 2014 vote to reunify with Russia—with an overwhelming 96.8% of votes cast—to proclaim that there will be no lasting peace in the Ukraine-Russia war unless and until Crimea is handed over to Ukraine. He might just as well have announced that, henceforth, all falling snow will be black. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded simply: “The issue of the affiliation of Crimea and Sevastopol is closed. The peninsula is an integral part of Russia.” |
March 9—If you don’t know the cause of a problem, you’ll never be able to solve it, no matter how good your intentions. Why is the world careening towards nuclear war? Why is Satanic genocide being practiced against a defenseless population in Gaza? |
March 2—Twice in the course of February, Russian President Vladimir Putin directly addressed an urgent strategic question to the people of the United States and its leaders. |
Feb. 21—That is the cry that must become a drumbeat, a campaign around the world to break the current trajectory towards a genocide that is engulfing the entirety of Palestine, and especially the 2.3 million desperate people of Gaza. As anti-war demonstrations in the United States and Europe take up that call; as people’s attention is drawn to the existence of a solution known as LaRouche’s Oasis Plan, and to the 15-minute video which presents that concept clearly and convincingly; the imagination of forces opposed to the current policies can be captured, and quickly turned into an effective political force where it is most needed: the United States and the nations of Europe. |
Feb. 14—The eyes of the world are once again riveted on the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and the “Urgent Request for Additional Measures” that the South Africa government filed on Feb. 12 to stop the imminent genocide in Rafah. It is a demand that the ICJ act immediately, without need of further hearings or argument, to order Israel to not carry out its announced full ground assault on the desperate and destitute 1.4 million Palestinians in Rafah, at least half of whom are children. |
Feb. 7—February 7 marked four months that Israel’s shocking blood-letting has been underway in Gaza, actions which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) characterized in its Jan. 26 order as a case of “plausible genocide.” The ICJ ordered not only Israel, but all nations that have provided military and other support for the Israeli atrocities, to immediately cease and desist, lest they too be found complicit in the genocide. |
It's time to turn the military-industrial complex into a productive capacity for peace |
Feb. 4—We summarize the strategic situation, and what must be done to immediately reverse the current rush to genocide and global war, as follows: |
Jan. 31—On Jan. 26, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague handed down a binding order finding that South Africa had presented a “plausible case” of genocide by Israel, and further ordered that Israel immediately cease any such actions in Gaza while a full investigation is conducted. The ICJ also demanded that Israel file a report with the Court on progress made within 30 days. |
Jan. 27—The government of Algeria announced over the weekend that it has requested that the UN Security Council be urgently convened this coming Wednesday, Jan. 31, to give “binding effect” to the historic Jan. 26 decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the matter of South Africa’s charges of Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. UN Security Council resolutions—if they can get past U.S. and British vetoes—are in fact internationally legally enforceable. ICJ decisions are legally binding on the parties, but the Court has no enforcement mechanism of its own. |
Jan. 15—The world is in the throes of a tectonic shakeup, which is not about to come to a halt anytime soon, Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche told associates on Jan. 15. We are at the end of an era, and 2024 will be decisive in determining what the outcome will be. |
Jan. 11—Two strategic developments which reflect a shift from the passivity of accepting outrageous policies, to fighting for what is right and just, were the central topics of the Jan. 10 weekly Dialogue webcast with Helga Zepp-LaRouche. |
Jan. 3—The British colonial playbook is fairly predictable. If a war they launched is in danger of winding down or moving towards negotiations, they blow the situation up with the most offensive geopolitical provocation imaginable. They taunt their enemy and use targeted violence to try to force him to retaliate in kind. |
Dec. 25—Read below excerpts of the searing sermon delivered on Dec. 23, 2023 by the Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem. Dr. Isaac, a Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian, designed and placed a now-famous creche of Christ in the Rubble in his church, and was part of a delegation of religious leaders from Bethlehem who visited Washington, D.C. in late November carrying an open letter to President Biden and U.S. congressmen demanding: “We want a constant and comprehensive ceasefire. Enough death. Enough destruction.” |
December 20—As of this writing, the evening of Dec. 20, 2023, the United Nations Security Council has been unable to schedule a vote on a U.A.E.-authored resolution calling for a halt to the fighting in Gaza—because the Biden administration, yet again, is threatening to veto any resolution containing the word “ceasefire.” With its actions, the U.S. continues to provide cover for—and is facilitating—the Netanyahu government’s unending butchery of innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Today, local health authorities said the death toll has now surpassed 20,000. |
Dec. 11—The Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres used a Dec. 10 speech at the Doha Conference in Qatar to issue another dramatic call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. He did this because on Dec. 8, the United States once again vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding such a ceasefire. Guterres responded to that vote by saying that “Regrettably the Security Council failed to do it, but that does not make it less necessary. So, I can promise I will not give up.” |
