Oct. 21—Saturday saw the convening of an emergency peace conference in Cairo, aiming to halt the rapid escalations in the Israel/Palestine theater. Heads of state and other government representatives came from across the world to add their voice for peace and call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The host of the event, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, in regards to the unfolding events, asked: “Where are the values of human civilization that we have built over long millennia and decades? Where is equality of human souls without discrimination or segregation or double standards?” |
Oct. 17—Although decisions are more commonly justified by reference to necessities imposed by the past than by the demands of what is to come, justice can be achieved only with reference to the future. Responsibility is more easily assigned than taken, but the current terrifying crisis calls us to take responsibility for installing a new security and development architecture for the world. |
Oct. 15—The expanding BRICS grouping includes five important nations in the Middle East-North Africa region, including three of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers—Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—and Egypt and Ethiopia. Now, among these nations the core of technology transfer worldwide is developing—for nuclear energy, fast transport, space technologies—with the creation of productive credit led by China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The future development of the world economy is there, if the United States and European nations would join it. |
Oct. 12—Over the last several days, Western governments and societies are being lined up behind the defense of Israel in a way that would make even a drill sergeant blush. As U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said when he arrived in Israel today: “We have the back of the Israeli people. We have their back today. We’ll have it tomorrow. We will have it every day.” Even Blinken was outdone by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, however, who laid on the guilt Oct. 12, when he said: “Our own history, our responsibility arising from the Holocaust, makes it a perpetual task for us to stand up for the security of the State of Israel.” |
Oct. 9—There are two reactions internationally to the terrible events of last weekend in Israel/Gaza, now worsening by the minute. There are those trying to exploit it out of geopolitical, evil intent, and there are those calling for ceasefire, calm, and for addressing and solving the factors that led to such a horror. Out of respect for the terrible personal anguish immediately involved, there is no other vantage point from which to view the crisis, except from the highest level, in order to take action to end it. |
Oct. 7—The above headline is the message already going into the U.S. Congress from activated Americans, and about to be amplified many times over in the coming hours. It is also the focus of international activity in the works for this week, from capital cities and other locations worldwide, led by networks associated with the International Peace Coalition. |
Oct. 4—The entire Western system is unravelling at breath-taking speed—economically, politically, socially, in every imaginable way. The fissures are everywhere and in plain view: |
Oct. 3—In a shocking development Tuesday evening, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position in the US House. While the details and fallout from this will become more clear in the coming days, the vote is undeniably a sign of the overall revolt against the faceless tragic force that is driving the US, and the world, into the abyss. |
Sept. 30—It is time again for the United States people to declare independence! Not independence from the world hegemon, as we did in 1776 against the British Empire, but from attempting to be the world hegemon through an Anglo-American alliance. |
Sept. 23—There is no let-up of the danger of nuclear annihilation—there is even a worsening threat—from either an accidental or deliberate triggering of warfare into nuclear exchange. As of this weekend, there is a renewed barrage of projectiles from Ukraine targeting Sevastopol, the Crimean headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the second barrage in two days. Whatever the military facts of the matter, the escalation danger is to be seen in the way the trans-Atlantic media establishment is portraying this maneuver: “See, Ukraine’s cunning attack shows that Russia cannot defend itself. Russia is on the way down and out.” |
Sept. 13—Three weeks ago, in his remarks to the BRICS Business Forum during the Aug. 22-24 BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the gathered leaders from dozens of nations: “I would like to invite representatives of your countries’ business circles to attend the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia that will take place on Sept. 10-13 in the city of Vladivostok, where, by tradition, the discussions will focus on issues that are also of interest to the business communities of the BRICS countries.” |
Sept. 3—There are certain battles that cannot be avoided and must be won. One such is the battle to get the United States and Western Europe to change their current geopolitical confrontation course with Russia and China, a course meant to enforce the bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system and its unipolar world order. The alternative to winning that fight is probable thermonuclear war. |
Aug. 30—LaRouche was right. It's the British! Bronwen Maddox, Director and Chief Executive of the King’s own Royal Institute of International Affairs—known as Chatham House—has sounded an alarm that American voters have a different view than its British-loving elite of what the U.S. role in the world should be, and that those voters could elect Donald Trump in 2024. |
Aug. 28—We are in the period in which the direction of history will be decided. Following the breakthroughs of last week—the BRICS expansion, NDB promise for development credit, India’s Moon landing—the world has before it an historic choice. |
Aug. 27—The expansion of the BRICS process, including most prominently the planned January 2024 expansion of the BRICS into the BRICS 11, is among the most important developments in the world today. It is willful blindness (or, often, willful deception) that prevents those in NATO nations from recognizing that a new paradigm is taking shape in the world. |
Aug. 24—The just-concluded BRICS XV Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, has just proved that there is in fact a new world being born. Tremendous interest in the kind of concrete economic development being offered by the BRICS led to a breakthrough in attendance and the first addition of new members since 2010—including Saudi Arabia and Iran, which until six months ago had cut all diplomatic ties with each other. |
Aug. 23—It was the perfect metaphor for the rising power of the Global Majority in its unstoppable drive to put an end to 500 years of colonial-style economic looting, backwardness and wars. |
Aug. 16—In less than a week, high-level representatives from over 65 developing sector nations, sometimes referred to as the Global Majority, will gather in Johannesburg, South Africa, under the auspices of the 15th BRICS heads of state and government summit. |
Aug. 14—To what institutions, to what authorities can people of the world turn to seek redress of injustice, to discuss development, to achieve progress? |
Aug. 13—The world is observing two diametrically opposite approaches to preparing the next era of mankind. The failed colonial and neo-colonial system is frantically trying to preserve the “unipolar world” under U.S.-U.K. leadership, through provoking wars wherever possible, while the BRICS countries and the overwhelming majority of nations in the “Global South” are preparing to end colonialism once and for all, while building a new era of cooperation in scientific and industrial development of all nations. |
Aug. 8—Ongoing and upcoming events in Africa — in the northern Sahel region and in South Africa — demonstrate clearly that the age of colonialism is coming to an end. |
Aug. 1—As has famously been said: Sometimes there are decades where nothing happens, and then there are weeks where decades happen. Events set into motion since Russia’s military operation into Ukraine, and especially since the ensuing response by NATO and Western countries attempting to erase Russia from history, have shown that these coming weeks and months will see monumental changes in the world. |
July 30—Lyndon LaRouche used to insist that any competent scientist must know the role that “weak forces” play in the physical universe. While it may seem to the everyday blockhead that virtually all events are determined by the everyday push-and-pull of the things around you, the reality is that other “weak” forces play an even more powerful effect on the whole—even though you may never experience their actions. Such is the case with the exceptional fragility of life, hardly a speck amidst the enormity of the cosmos, yet somehow has become one of nature’s most powerful forces. |

July 24—Escalations over the recent few days have made it clear that the growing danger of war will not go away until a qualitative change occurs among Western nations. Any thought that, because nothing disastrous has happened yet in 17 months of conflict in Ukraine, therefore everything will continue to be fine—is absolute idiocy. |
