June 30—French President Emmanuel Macron received quite a surprise as he hosted a Summit for a New Global Financial Pact in Paris, June 22-23. Among the attendees were many of the leaders of Western European, African and Latin American nations, as well as the heads of the IMF, World Bank, U.S. Department of the Treasury, the ECB and the European Commission. The organizers were pushing for a global tax of at least $1 trillion per year to use for climate change. |
There are historic changes going on in the world's economic system. Are you educated on it? |
Moves are afoot for new economic arrangements for Argentina |
April 13—The elected leader of a very large country with a lot of resources posed a simple question today: “Every night I ask myself why all countries have to base their trade on the dollar. Why can’t we do trade based on our own currencies? Who was it that decided that the dollar was the currency after the [1971] disappearance of the gold standard?” |
Sept. 17—Although the physical economy and the standard of living across the trans-Atlantic region are in a severe breakdown crisis, while the NATO countries are dragging the world into World War III, there are increasing signs of sanity and resistance showing through the fog, as trade unions, business associations, farmers, and social organizations are coming out to the streets, asserting that they will not tolerate the intentional destruction of their nations’ productive capacities and their standards of living. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche said in her keynote speech at the September 10-11 Schiller Institute Conference, the peaceful revolution in East Germany that led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany demonstrated that if ten people demonstrate in the street, they can be arrested, but not if there are hundreds of thousands. |
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? |
May 20—There is mounting evidence of the truth of Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s warning that we are living in the moment of the “greatest danger in human history.” The world is clearly divided into two diametrically opposed forces. |
April 30—In a broad-ranging interview with Xinhua published today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov charged that with the insane sanctions regime it has imposed on Russia, the West is “ready to jeopardize the energy and food security of entire regions of the globe to satisfy its geopolitical ambitions.” |
Apr. 28—The April 26 multi-national military conclave at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany, and its follow-on, go way beyond Global NATO. It is an outright Global Imperium of the self-anointed, “rules-based,” would-be rulers of the world. |
April 27—A major clash is now out in the open, between those nations and leaders backing measures to end the Ukraine conflict and produce more food to prevent famine, and those financial and political interests, centered in the Trans-Atlantic, perpetrating their “rules-based,” sanctions-based order, who want more weapons to Ukraine, and who couldn’t care less if it prevents settling the conflict or creates desperate hunger. We face the risk of nuclear war. |
April 20—The world’s leading finance ministers, central bankers, and private financiers gathered in Washington, D.C. the first three days of this week, for the annual spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. They admitted publicly that up to 1.7 billion people face a severe food crisis and hunger this year. They nodded sagely at reports that inflation of 50, 80, even 120% on food and energy products had exploded in Germany and across Europe, not to mention desperate South America. They concurred that the debt of low-income countries had become utterly unpayable and would be blowing out shortly. And they congratulated each other on their scorched-earth sanctions with which they intend to wipe Russia—and any and all other rebellious nations—off the face of the Earth. |
'THE LAROUCHE PLAN FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ARCHITECTURE' NOW AVAILABLE! |
April 14—Less than a week has passed since the Schiller Institute international conference—“For a Conference to Establish a New Security and Development Architecture for All Nations,” whose participation and level of discussion signify that humanity can survive today’s crises of existence that we face in the form of nuclear war danger, economic breakdown, and cultural degradation. What is critical is building the momentum to get out the truth and policies in the common interest. |
April 6—In addition to their ongoing “controlled disintegration” of the world physical economy, the British are now carrying out a “controlled demolition” of the existing international institutional architecture, because it is getting in the way of their Brave New World. |
April 5—Global Britain, deploying elements of the United Nations, European Union, the G7, and of course, NATO in the forefront, has escalated wildly this week, drawing out their lies, and the suffering in Ukraine, for the purpose of pushing their intended new global domination architecture, even at the risk of world conflagration. |
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 30—How, then, should we go about organizing our fellow citizens and those of other nations, under conditions where the world is facing the very real possibility of thermonuclear war; where it is already descending into a physical-economic meltdown unseen since the 14th-century New Dark Age; and where most about us are gripped by a pessimism which numbs their concern for humanity—and for themselves? |
The developments of 2022 to date have made it abundantly clear that Lyndon LaRouche’s forecasts over the last half-century, about the unavoidable breakdown crisis of the post-Bretton Woods floating exchange-rate financial system, were shockingly accurate. |
