"Let me begin with a couple of examples of why the Summit for Democracy" is nothing but hypocrisy. Take freedom of the press, for example. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday commented on the Russian arrest of a Wall Street Journal reporter for espionage" |
Macron emphasized the need for Europe to reduce its dependency on the United States and not get involved in the China-US conflict over Taiwan. |
April 9—The recent dark age of mankind, a multi-decade era of wars and armed conflict, economic stagnation with respect to our potential, and of anti-human cultural decline, is coming to an end, one way or another: either through the fiery destruction of nuclear war, or through the coming into being of a new paradigm. |
April 8—Over the recent period, and increasingly since Xi Jinping’s trip to Moscow, Western media have finally been caused to notice the motion underway globally away from the dollar—and the freakouts are beginning to roll. This process has undoubtedly sped up following Russia’s special military operation into Ukraine and the ensuing sanctions and other forms of financial warfare against Russia from Western governments. Now, as has been increasingly reported, trade in national currencies is on the rise, new lending institutions have been envisioned, and alternative currencies are being discussed. The dollar-denominated trans-Atlantic financial system is seen as unreliable and disingenuous, and can turn on you at any moment as a form of financial warfare. |
April 7—Someone once said, "the philosophers have merely interpreted the world. The point is to change it." Where, however, does the power to change the world come from? The principle of Agape, as expressed in the words "Greater love than this, no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends," is the power that drives change. But how is that power to be conveyed to an entire society, such that it becomes the fabric of the constitution of the state? |

April 6—Whether it is Passover’s celebration of the victory of humanity over slavery, or the spiritual reflection of Ramadan, or Easter’s passion of the soul’s victory over death, there is something important and truthful and beautiful that could and should be driving the thoughts and actions of a major section of humanity this week. And not only this, but one would think that any Jew, Muslim, or Christian, properly moved and inspired by the best of their religion, would be enabled to discover that quality amongst their monotheistic neighbors; and that it would magnify their sense of wonder for the richness of the Creator’s world. |
Join us in making history |
April 5—There are times when history stretches out like a long road, as far as the eye can see. But there are other times when long historical processes shift almost overnight, for good, or for ill. We find ourselves in the latter type today, where the world is gripped between an unfathomable horror of global war, and the birth of a new era which has the potential to move beyond the traps which cause wars. In times like this, old routines and habits become far worse than useless—they become deadly. |
Don't be tricked by promises that the banking system is sound. The West must drop economic cannibalism, and cooperate with the new Global Majority for real development. |
While U.S. and NATO leaders continue to rant about their "Rules-Based Order", the Global Majority is moving toward building a new, just system. |
April 4—Former U.S. President Trump was arraigned on 34 felony charges in a transparently political and legally ridiculous prosecution. Whether this latest display of the use of the justice system for lawfare—a result of leaving insufficiently challenged the political prosecution of Lyndon LaRouche—boosts Trump’s standing in the eyes of the electorate or, in coordination with other charges, ties him up in judicial proceedings that will possibly brand him a felon, one thing is for sure: this development is as if intended to be engrossing. |
In stead of war, let us build economic powerhouses known as the Special Economic Zone or Industrial Park. |
In biology, the Mitochondria is said to be the powerhouse of the cell. In economy, there is another kind of powerhouse, one that is just as crucial to the future development of our world as the mitochondria is to the cell. This powerhouse is known as the Special Economic Zone or Industrial Park. We need, now more than ever, to push for radical economic development of all countries, to direct our focus away from war, and join with the rising multipolar paradigm. |
Each day there are new signs of defiance to submission to the London-Wall Street "Rules-Based Order", yet Blinken keeps on barking out orders! |
April 3—It’s become so obvious that even the self-deluded bankers of the City of London and Wall Street have to admit it: They can no longer order every nation on the planet to do their bidding, and expect them to bow and scrape and obediently commit suicide. “It’s no longer a unipolar world,” a leading financial strategist at the global investment bank RBC Capital Market (Royal Bank of Canada) ruefully remarked to the Financial Times today. |
April 2—While China and Brazil have just made an agreement to settle their trade in China’s yuan currency and make it a credit and lending currency in Brazil’s economy, both countries have been rapidly selling off their central banks’ large holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, as the Russian Central Bank did earlier when it loaded up on gold and yuan. During 2022 Brazil sold off $22 billion worth—almost 10% of its U.S. Treasury holdings—and then another $21 billion just in March 2023. China sold off $175 billion in Treasuries in 2022 and has reduced its once-huge holdings of them by more than a quarter. U.S. dollar assets are still an 80%—but rapidly diminishing—share of the foreign exchange reserves of Brazil’s central bank, Chinese yuan assets only 5.4% but it is rising fast and becoming Brazil’s main trade currency. The yuan’s share in Russia’s central bank reserves is approaching 30%. |
Is the dollar-based financial system doomed? More nations are moving to trade and investment in non-dollar currencies, while dumping U.S. Treasury bonds. |
The Schiller institute is convening an international online conference on April 15th and 16th for the purpose of organizing that new paradigm. |
April 1—It’s what Lyndon LaRouche always forecast with certainty: That under conditions of a breakdown crisis (like today’s), increasingly motivated leadership circles all around the planet would turn to LaRouche’s ideas for solutions that will allow their nations to survive and flourish—as is happening today. The knowledge that that is the case, Helga Zepp-LaRouche explained over the weekend, is what will shape the unified focus of the upcoming April 15-16 Schiller Institute conference. As a new introduction to the conference invitation states simply: |
April 1—The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko delivered his annual Address to the Nation and Parliament speech yesterday, in which he issued a severe warning about the danger of thermonuclear war, if NATO continued its aggressive forward march against Russia. On March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to acquiesce to Lukashenko’s long-standing request that Russian tactical nuclear weapons be deployed to Belarus. |
March 31—Why is the U.S./Britain “Special Relationship,” not “American imperialism,” the central strategic problem of our time? Consider this September 6, 1943 speech of Winston Churchill, given at Harvard University, a center of Anglo-Saxon racialism and Anglophilia from the late 19th century through the early 20th century. In that speech, Churchill advanced his “Basic English” project, a proposal to reduce the vocabulary from 15,000-30,000 words, to one between 850 and 2,000 words. “Let us go forward in malice to none and good will to all…. The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.” Why was Churchill using this speech, in the middle of the Second World War, to propose the evisceration of the English language, the language of Shakespeare, who would not have been possible were he to have been restricted? |
March 31—Russia and the U.K. have no political dialogue after London completely ruined the architecture of relations between the countries, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrei Kelin said, in an interview with RTVI television on March 30. “We now in principle have no political communication, no political dialogue, unlike it was with the U.K. in the past, about key aspects of international affairs,” he said. |
True US history shows that the US was founded to develop and throw off the chains of empire |
