March 20—Will former U.S. President Donald Trump be arrested today? Will Presidents Xi and Putin succeed in achieving a negotiated peace in Ukraine? Will the U.S.-U.K.-NATO geopolitical establishment that proposes destroying Taiwan’s economy if Beijing takes control of the island, be swept from the halls of power?
Twenty years ago, when Bush and Blair launched the war in Iraq, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche presented a vision of what must be done to avoid a tragic outcome.
March 20—At an international conference of the Schiller Institute held in Bad Schwalbach, Germany, March 21-23, 2003, which assembled nearly 600 people from 45 nations, including 120 young people, Lyndon LaRouche opened his keynote address:
March 20—Schiller Institute Founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche delivered a speech “The Eurasian Land-Bridge Concept, the Answer to the Strategic Crisis” on March 22, 2003, just as the murderous U.S. invasion of Iraq had begun. In it, she identified the growing collaboration between Russia, China, India, and other countries as a hopeful force for the future. Her keynote address opened the second day of the Schiller Institute’s March 21-23, 2003 conference in Bad Schwalbach, Germany, titled “How To Reconstruct a Bankrupt World.”
March 19—To put it mildly, banking hours the last two weekends have been extended. The “Everything Bubble” is now everywhere. The deadly fear amongst the central bankers is that on Monday morning in Tokyo, the Asian markets will no longer be drinking the Kool-Aid,’ that the parties on both sides of the $2 quadrillion notional worth of derivative contracts will show up. So, from the close of markets on Friday afternoon, a marathon of intense negotiations set in these days. This weekend, the show was, how to stop an implosion at Credit Suisse from spreading, triggering a collapse of the intricate web of derivative bets from unraveling, as fast as a nuclear chain reaction.
March 18—Feverish emergency meetings of financial authorities are underway on both sides of the Atlantic this weekend, as the owners of the thoroughly bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system scramble to prevent their entire system from blowing out. The reason can be summed up in a single word: derivatives.
As humanity has been put on the brink of a civilization-ending nuclear war, largely through the machinations of the British and their fellow travelers in the USA, any sensible person would be asking the question:
March 17, 2023—“[T]he world monetary financial system is actually now currently in the process of disintegrating. There’s nothing mysterious about this; I’ve talked about it for some time, it’s been in progress, it’s not abating. What’s listed as stock values and market values in the financial markets internationally is bunk! These are purely fictitious beliefs. There’s no truth to it; the fakery is enormous. There is no possibility of a non-collapse of the present financial system—none! It’s finished, now! The present financial system can not continue to exist under any circumstances, under any Presidency, under any leadership, or any leadership of nations. Only a fundamental and sudden change in the world monetary financial system will prevent a general, immediate chain-reaction type of collapse. At what speed we don’t know, but it will go on, and it will be unstoppable!”
A new round of more than $100 billions of bailouts is not a bailout according to Janet Yellen, who said she wants to restore confidence in the U.S. economy!
March 16—On Wednesday night, emergency international action was taken to save Switzerland’s Credit Suisse—to the tune of $54 billion. Less than one day later, it appears that California’s First Republic bank, larger than the recently bailed-out Silicon Valley Bank, has received the same treatment, getting an emergency bailout of $30 billion Thursday, this time from leading U.S. banks. Will these actions be successful in stemming the tide of contagion? How deep, how entrenched does it go? This is the proverbial $64 trillion question—the everything bubble.
The world economic crisis results from the shift away from physical economy -- the "American System" -- to a British neoliberal speculative monetary system.
March 14, 2023—The tremors in the financial system felt around the world triggered by the run on Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in the United States, its subsequent closure and being put in receivership, are the clarion call for all governments in the world to act quickly to prevent a repeat of the 2008 crisis on a larger scale—larger and more deadly, because all the so-called “tools” of the central banks have been exhausted.
March 13—Following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the unlimited insurance of deposits held at those institutions, in apparent violation of U.S. law, signals a policy orientation towards a bailout of the entire banking system.
What could have prompted the publication by the {New York Times} on March 7 of a vaguely- sourced, widely-ridiculed story, which alleged that a previously-unknown band of "pro-Ukrainian", non-state actors planted powerful explosives in a highly-technical operation, without detection in an area of the Baltic subject to wide-spread surveillance capabilities, to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines?
March 12—The power of reason is on the march in world affairs. The triumph for humanity in the recently-concluded Beijing-Iran-Saudi Arabia negotiations is only “humiliating” to the United States, or for NATO countries, for those that think like inhuman predators, like John Bolton, Samantha Power, Liz Truss, Tony Blinken, Boris Johnson, Victoria “cookie” Nuland, and most of the present incarnation of the State Department.
Feb. 11—A huge rally of some 25,000 farmers, fishermen and the general public took place today at The Hague organized by the Dutch Farmers Defense Force (FDF) and Together for the Netherlands (SvNL).The focus was to stop the government’s shutdown of farming and food production, and denounce the fraud of the green lies that agriculture is killing the planet with nitrogen emissions and human activity.
March 10—The Global Security Initiative delivered an important victory to humanity yesterday, with the announcement, from Beijing, of the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Representatives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran made the announcement that they would reestablish diplomatic relations two months from now. This was done, as the Saudi News Agency official statement put it, “in response to the noble initiative of His Excellency President Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, of China’s support for developing good neighborly relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Consider the role of the United States in Iran from the CIA-orchestrated coup in 1953 until 1979. Consider the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, from the end of World War Two until now. Then, think more deeply about the colonial relationship of the British Empire to both Iran and Arabia, over centuries, and over the period since especially the 1916 Sykes-Picot Treaty. What has just happened to the Anglosphere’s geopolitical “Great Game?”
