July 6, 2024 (EIRNS)—The “Orbán Effect” hit the world this week. The actions of the head of a nation, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in flying to Kyiv to discuss peace with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy and then to Moscow to do the same with Russia’s President Putin, put into stark relief that there has been no diplomacy in the West for years. Put aside what was and was not immediately accomplished, as Orbán put it: “Very many steps are needed to be done to become closer to the end of the war. However, we have made the most important step—we have established contact…. I have concluded my talks in Moscow with President Putin. My goal was to open the channels of direct communication and start a dialogue on the shortest road to peace. Mission accomplished! To be continued on Monday…” |
July 5, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today, we will begin with a sort of spiritual exercise, as opposed to a mere chronicle, regarding world current history on the edge of thermonuclear war. We start with unexpected, disruptive, far-reaching changes going on in the world—and, implicitly, in the circumstances of life of everyone in it. |

July 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—This year the U.S. holiday of the Fourth of July, the commemoration of the 1776 Declaration of Independence, is the occasion calling for a renewed fight against empire. Global NATO is pushing ahead with warfare and conflict, with no let-up, rejecting all proposals for peace talks over Ukraine, Gaza, and other spheres. The end point of this evil will be nuclear annihilation, unless stopped. |
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. |
Sunak down, Macron next. The idiotic policies of the West are harming the people of their nations; such governments are being swept away! |
July 1, 2024 (EIRNS)—Last week’s U.S. presidential debate showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that the post-World War II order is in a state of final collapse. The show might go on for a while longer, like the chicken whose head has been severed yet continues to run around, but there is little life left in the corpse to do much more than keep up appearances. Not only is there clearly no one home in the person of the President of the United States, but the entire political and otherwise ruling establishment has covered this up for months and even years, all the while preaching about such platitudes as “democracy,” “accountability,” and “honesty” to the rest of the world. |
July 2, 2024 (EIRNS)—As the United States approaches its Fourth of July celebration, on the occasion of its Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, a few thoughts are in order. |
July 4 offers us a chance to reflect on the true revolutionary principles of American independence, and pledge again to act to realize them. |
One after another, unpopular regimes are being rejected and coming down, and a new system will emerge. Who will it serve? |

June 30, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today France’s President Emmanuel Macron was handed a crushing defeat in the first round of the French parliamentary elections. His centrist coalition finished a distant third to Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, ahead in at least 297 of the 577 districts, and the leftist New Popular Front, leading in at least 153 districts. Macron’s “Ensemble” grouping leads in 65 of the districts. By the time the second round on July 7 determines the seats in the Assemblée Nationale, the Tories in Great Britain are expected to get a similar kick in the side of the head, from the July 4 polls. Both results should echo the across-the-board rejection of the Atlanticist candidates that occurred in the June 9 EU elections. |
The Trump-Biden fiasco was symptomatic of the collapsing Unipolar system. It no longer works, and can only be held together by war and censorship. |
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? |
June 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—In remarks to a June 26-27 meeting in Vienna, Austria of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Grushko questioned the gathered Western diplomats: “Is there an alternative to sliding toward a point of no return? Yes, there is. It is contained in President Putin’s proposals on ending the Ukraine conflict, which he articulated at a meeting with the Foreign Ministry senior officials on June 14.” |

June 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—This evening’s CNN presidential debate showed the glaring reality staring us all in the face today: The needed change to today’s existential crisis is not going to come from the political leadership in either of the two leading parties in the United States. Choose one that is “better” if you want, but only so long as you’re willing to risk the potential extinction of mankind for your preferred political “flavor.” The reality is that only a new idea, which challenges the disastrously failing ideologies of today’s trans-Atlantic world, can stand a chance of pulling us back from the brink of a threatened global war. |
June 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—An important and powerful warning was communicated in the alternative debate hosted by Independent candidate for President Robert Kennedy, Jr., which was live-streamed simultaneously as the Trump vs Biden debate this evening. In response to Trump’s comments that we are facing World War III because of President Biden’s actions around the world, Kennedy said, to an X live-stream of over 5 million viewers: |

June 25, 2024 (EIRNS)—Anyone paying attention to the string of events in and around Ukraine will see the dangerous escalation which it represents. Western countries, previously more restrained, have increasingly supplied heavier and longer-range weapons to Ukraine to fight—and kill—Russians. At each step of the way, Russia’s leaders have raised concerns, sounded alarm bells, and emphasized that Washington and others are crossing deep, dark, red lines in an overt war against their nation. However, at each step, these same Western countries have feigned indifference, and continued their escalations. |
