March 9—On Monday, March 13, the heads of state of the U.S., the UK, and Australia meet in San Diego, California, to confer as the “AUKUS Partnership” on “security in the Pacific,” meaning belligerence against China and Russia. High on the San Diego agenda is submarines—building and deploying many more in the Pacific.
March 7—A general strike took place across France today. Police authorities estimate 1.3 million participants. The government’s attempt to grab back pensions initiated the protests, but governments in Europe are widely seen to have sacrificed their population’s welfare. A second round has been called by the CGT and other unions for this Saturday, March 11.
Events since 1991 show the U.S. has been engaged in non-stop violation of international law, instead deploying military force to defend the fraudulent "Rules-Based Order".
March 6—Will the collective West (already a fragmenting assembly) regain its sanity and drop the policies that lead the world to global war and nuclear annihilation?
March 4—Following the 7.8- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes which struck Türkiye and Syria Feb. 6, killing as many as 6,000 Syrians and more than 40,000 in Türkiye, the Anglo-American policy of using economic sanctions to impose genocidal conditions upon the nation of Syria has come under increasing scrutiny. The weeks ahead may be decisive for the survival of this beleaguered nation.
The goal of the Anglo-American oligarchy is to dismantle Russia, as they have openly stated. That is why they reject any demand for a diplomatic solution.
March 4—Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was on to something when he stated last week that part of the “tectonic process” underway in world politics is that “the countries which feel independent and are guided by national interests,” as opposed to the diktats of Wall Street and the City of London, now constitute “the Global Majority … [which] include giants such as China and India and many of our other international partners.”
March 3—The worldwide Schiller Institute initiative for a dialogue for the creation of a new security and development architecture is beginning to take shape in several different nations, and in many different ways. Proposals in the last days from Italy, France and Hungary have joined Brazil’s and the Vatican’s earlier statements. The G20 foreign ministers and other meetings have seen resistance, if sometimes only passive resistance, to the Anglosphere’s “Ukraine Rodeo and Cattle Drive” to stampede “all responsible nations of the world” to denounce Russia—since it is increasingly clear that most of the world does not support the NATO sanctions policy. Street actions, from mass demonstrations to individual organizing tables, have engaged people in many nations. Our interventions continue. The pulsed effect of the Seymour Hersh Nord Stream revelations will be with us for weeks to come, demanding an international investigation of his charges. At the catalytic center of all of this is the Zepp-LaRouche “Ten Principles” document, now in circulation for months.
Intelligence professional Ray McGovern’s recent testimony at the United Nations Security Council regarding Nord Stream was an important step forward on that path from senseless war to sanity. He and Harley Schlanger are the presenters for today’s Manhattan Town Meeting.
March 1—Over 50,000 human lives have been lost already in the last three weeks from the earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria. Food, clean drinking water, medicine, protection from the elements—such things become the over-riding reality. Yet, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price explained a different reality: “We think it’s important still that countries remember that this humanitarian plight, this humanitarian emergency, long predates the earthquake from earlier this year. The humanitarian emergency that the Syrian people have faced for more than a decade now is largely a manmade one … owing to the actions of the Assad regime, the brutality that the regime has inflicted on its people.” Therefore, “it’s important that the Assad regime’s track record not be forgotten even as we prioritize this humanitarian response.”
How can the Biden administration justify sanctions, which prevent humanitarian aid from reaching residents of Syria suffering from the recent earthquake?
March 2—The world war machine bloc of nations, aka Global NATO, presented itself in certain special ways this week, but all part of the same NATO dynamic of promoting war and perpetrating genocide. At the same time, the forces gathering momentum against this—as seen in the past two weeks of mass demonstrations in the Trans-Atlantic—have the mighty strength to defeat the evil, because of the commitment to truth, and love for humanity. The stakes include preventing a nuclear holocaust.
Feb. 28—The LaRouche movement is circulating the following pre-release of the lead editorial of the upcoming EIR* magazine, as part of an intense, concentrated effort aimed at members of the U.S. Congress, to break through the deafening wall of silence on the barbaric activities sanctioned by U.S. military forces in Syria, military forces which are in that nation illegally—illegally under U.S. law, and illegally under international law. The similarly illegal and barbaric sanctions against Syria must now be lifted.*
Feb. 27—Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met on Monday Feb. 27 with the heads of the Foreign Ministry’s branches in Russia’s regions, and he reported to them that there is a “geopolitical tectonic process” underway worldwide, in which some 20 nations have expressed an interest in joining the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). This is not a matter of mere organizational affiliation, Lavrov noted, but a global rebellion against colonial looting and the unipolar “rules-based order”:
The accelerated rate of collapse of the western "free market" economy, and its rejection by sovereign states, is why the U.S. is funnelling money to Ukraine.
Feb. 26—The past week has been a week of changes, both in NATO-land and in the world’s new Eurasian center of power. Anti-war rallies in the United States and Europe bookended the week. LaRouche movement interventions into the U.S. Congress, the issue of Syrian sanctions, and the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline gave added force and direction to the campaign for a new paradigm in the world. China denounced, with new pungency, what that nation sees as U.S. hegemony, while putting forward its own vision for a comprehensive new paradigm—the Global Security Initiative—with specific application to the anti-Russia conflict unfolding on the present (and past?) territory of Ukraine.
