May 18—Italy is finally committing to the Messina Bridge, linking Sicily with mainland Italy with the longest single-span, suspended bridge in the world. Russia just produced the largest grain harvest in its history. Today, China’s President Xi just had five bilateral summit meetings in one day, with the heads of state of the Central Asia republics. They were meeting in the original Silk Road city of Xi’an. In every one of the meetings, Global Times reports, the central topic was the Belt and Road centerpiece of massive infrastructure projects. |
May 16—Before making fun of President Zelensky’s meltdown the other day, put yourself in his shoes for a moment. You’ve hitched your wagon to a Western world that has a systemic financial breakdown on its hands. Your Western allies are so ‘post-industrialized’ that they have trouble being the war machine they fantasize about, leaving you way short of ammunition. Worse, they will have Ukraine fight to the last Ukrainian, bleeding itself to death in a proxy war, designed to sap as much strength from Russia as possible. And what regime change in the last many decades, engineered by London and Washington, has resulted in the country getting stronger going forward (or going forward at all)? |
There is a confluence of events that makes possible holding those behind the Permanent Bureaucracy (aka "Secret Government") accountable for their crimes. |

What was behind Zelensky's melt-down in an interview with the pro-war Washington Post? Despite increases in aid promised, all is not well in NATO-land, as opposition to war grows. |
May 15—As Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said while on a visit to Beijing today, Western nations are “gripped by a psychosis of war,” and that what is needed from the sane portions of the world is “to increase the voice of the peace camp.” Indeed, the war party is on a rampage, as can be seen by Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy’s tour throughout Europe, having made visits to Germany, France, Italy, and then Britain, getting showered with more and larger instruments of death at each stop. These are not the actions of leaders who have compassion for the lives their nation’s citizens, nor for those of others. |
NATO countries used the visit by serial panhandler Zelensky to up the ante against Russia, providing more aid and offensive weapons, risking bringing the war to their nations. |

As Zelensky continues his scripted "victory" tour, reality is that a majority of the world's nations reject the endless war agenda of the "Rules-Based Order." |
May 13—The doings at the two just-concluded meetings of units of the emblematic institutions of the Western “rules-based order”—the European Union Foreign Ministers meeting in Sweden, and the Group of Seven Finance Ministers meeting in Japan, displayed the venal dissociation from reality that constitute circumstances for both world danger of war and economic chaos, and an opportunity—if our intervention succeeds—for a shift to a new world framework that serves the good of nations and peoples. |
May 14—Each step by NATO in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s latest “tour” of Europe is ratcheting up the threat of direct war between Russia and NATO’s nuclear powers Britain and the United States. |
The solution for the collapsing world financial-economic system depends not on bail-outs but on massive packages of infrastructure, machine tool building, and science and technology for the whole world, including the depressed United States. |

May 12—Even as this weekend the Pope meets with Zelenskyy, China conducts foreign policy on multiple fronts in Europe, and LaRouche forces put forth the message of a global Glass-Steagall as more and more banks collapse in the United States, it is important to keep in view the mission to which we are dedicated. “I think what is required is to really define a completely new paradigm in thinking, to start with the common interest of the one humanity, put the national interests in the context of that, and then find a way of overcoming these supposedly unbridgeable difficulties, because the Global South—that’s 85% of the human population—they want to end colonialism. They do not want anymore to be deprived of economic development. And because of the Belt and Road Initiative, which is now ten years in progress, many countries see for the first time the perspective of overcoming underdevelopment and poverty. Europe should join with China in that endeavor!” |
May 11—This week, the United Kingdom announced that it would escalate its reckless drive to arm Ukraine to the teeth, now confirming that it would deliver Storm Shadow missiles capable of reaching targets 300 km distant—far enough to reach deep into Russian territory. As Ben Wallace, the UK’s Secretary of State for Defense, said upon announcing the decision: these missiles “will allow Ukraine to push back Russian forces based within Ukrainian sovereign territory,” i.e., Crimea—something the Russians will never tolerate. Lap dogs in the media were quick to jump, asking: Does this mean the US will be following suit? |
Friday Question -- Why does the LaRouche movement claim that the British Empire is behind the war in Ukraine and the drive to dismantle Russia? |
May 10—What should be said of an anachronistic monarchy, medievalist in both trappings and outlook, whose recently crowned King expresses the view that the planet is terminally overpopulated and requires a “vast military-style campaign” to impose a “fundamental economic transition” back to a feudal form of economy? |
Each week, Helga Zepp-LaRouche joins me for a dialogue. In this discussion, she says it is time for the citizens to take responsibility and provide solutions. |
May 9—U.S. war veteran Col. Frank Cohn (ret.), now 97 years old, is an optimist on a mission. He fought against the Nazis in World War II and met Soviet soldiers at Torgau on the Elbe River on April 25, 1945, when the two armies met. On the occasion of the victory in Europe over the Nazis, Cohn says: "While it is probably a false hope, I am an optimist, and I hang onto the time when things looked bright for all of us—back in May 1945. Yes, there was terrible devastation all around us, but the spirit was correct. We were going to go forward and repair the world, we were allies, we were friends.... Now, I go and participate to bring back that moment. It is not an easy thing to do at my age, but I must do it as long as I can, because someone young might catch that simmering glow of a short-lived peaceful world surrounded with friendship, and in remembrance, perhaps years far in the future, say with the political power that he or she might have attained: ''We can do this again!'" |

The coronation of King Charles occurred as the British Empire reiterated its marching orders to Kiev -- No Negotiations to end the war! |
May 6—Two drones attacked the Kremlin in Moscow on May 3. Within 24 hours, the Russian government had asserted that they considered this an attempted assassination of President Vladimir Putin at the very seat of the Russian State, and they specifically charged that Ukraine was behind the attack, with the backing, logistical and intelligence support, and explicit instructions of the United States, United Kingdom and NATO. |
May 7—The explosion of drones over the Kremlin on Wednesday, May 3, means the world is closer to thermonuclear war than at any time in history, including October 1962. Absurd stories in the American and European media have appeared (like those that covered up American and NATO responsibility for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines) that assert, without any evidence, that “the Russians flew and blew up the drones themselves.” But think: even if that lying absurdity were true, shouldn’t that also cause extraordinary alarm? If the United States flew and blew up drones over the White House, and then blamed Russia for supporting, say, Cuba, in a drone-weapon assassination attempt against the President of the United States, wouldn’t that mean the world was on the verge of a shooting war between Russia and America, a war potentially deploying thermonuclear weapons that would wipe out life on the planet? |
