Donald Trump asked RFK, Jr. to investigate the role of the CIA and other agencies in assassinations. If this is done, the "Deep State" can be dismantled.
Aug. 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—What is it going to take to get the people of the United States and Europe to wake up and realize that their so-called “elected governments” are intentionally trying to corner Russia into launching nuclear weapons to prevent its national extinction at the hands of NATO?
Aug. 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—Ukraine government officials are in Washington, D.C. and Brussels this week, demanding the OK for unrestricted use of U.S. and Western weapons inside Russia—the stamp-of-approval on a NATO invasion. This is a direct, blatant challenge to the 2020 Russian stated doctrine: Russia will use nuclear weapons, only “when the very existence of the state is under threat.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov today held a press conference in Moscow, drawing out the implications of this exact point.

The turbulence in strategic affairs is the result of the battle between the failed Unipolar Order and a new, emerging post-colonial, multi-nodal order.
Aug. 26, 2024 (EIRNS)—This morning a wide-ranging Russian drone and missile strike hit many locations across Ukraine, resulting in electricity blackouts, selected water outages, rail disruption and other impacts. Strikes were delivered in the regions of Kyiv, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov, and other major cities. At the same time, a barrage of Ukraine drones aimed inside Russia were repelled.
Aug. 24, 2024 (EIRNS)—The world is quickly approaching a boundary condition, wherein the current strategic framework can no longer continue to exist. Previous precedents have already been broken, red lines have been crossed, and the world has entered into uncharted territory. As founder of the Schiller Institute and convener of the International Peace Coalition Helga Zepp-LaRouche has recently said, the next three to six months are going to be the most dangerous moments in history, and the prospect of a global war of annihilation is an increasingly real possibility.
Aug. 23, 2024 (EIRNS)—There was something that should not escape notice, said Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention, and pointed out by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche at the conclusion of her Friday address to the International Peace Coalition. Behind that convention statement lies an intent that could bring about the end of civilization itself, and as soon as within the next weeks, or months. Vice-President Kamala Harris, in her Thursday evening speech, August 22, said: “As Commander-In-Chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.”
Aug. 22, 2024 (EIRNS)—While it might seem more politically acceptable to claim that the actions of the Anglo-American NATO elite risk provoking war, it is more accurate to say that they intend to provoke war.
Now that the prospect of negotiations with Russia on war matters has been scuttled by NATO’s “Ukrainian-initiated”failed attempt to capture the Kursk nuclear power plant on Russian soil, what possible pathway to peace can even be proposed? Something must be initiated at a much different level. The plight of two stranded American astronauts at the International Space Station reminds us of “a more excellent way.”
Aug. 21, 2024 (EIRNS)—Lyndon LaRouche identified the British Empire as not only still alive—in an expanded Anglo-American form—but also the most potent force for evil on the planet.
Aug. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—Washington attempted to placate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week, assuring him that his avowed concern over the smuggling of weapons through tunnels from Egypt into Gaza did not mean that Israeli troops had to be exempted from an agreed-upon withdrawal and ceasefire, and had to stay on duty on the Gaza border. Rather, the U.S. would offer to patrol the border, along with Egypt. Never mind that Netanyahu was, yet again, putting up one more barrier to any agreement to return the hostages and begin a ceasefire—a barrier to be replaced by another, if circumstances dictated.

Aug. 19, 2024 (EIRNS)—The wheels are coming off the wagon of deception that is Global NATO’s failing “World War Three for Democracy” roadshow. With the Ukraine adventure having failed, in its intention to provoke the disintegration of Russia; with the failure of the very real and very purposeful assassination of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump; with the now-unfolding failure of the Chicago “Democratic” Convention, which is selecting a candidate, Kamala Harris, who not only did not win a single delegate in 2024, but also did not win a single delegate in her 2020 Presidential race either; with the new multiple cover-stories, each more embarrassing than the next, appearing in various publications in Europe and the U.S. regarding the revisited Nord Stream 2 terrorist action all contradicting one other, but all clearly implicating “Ukraine” and “Zaluzhnyi/Zelenskyy”—wouldn’t you think that the “Grand Design” geniuses at the helm of this cluster-flop would wise up, and change direction?
The movement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk direction near Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, as well as a drone attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, have signaled to the IAEA that the threat of nuclear disaster is imminent.
Aug. 18, 2024 (EIRNS)—As the military conflicts Russia-Ukraine and Southwest Asia continue to escalate, will voices of sanity organize a new paradigm before the possibility of speaking for peace is itself eradicated?
Aug. 17, 2024 (EIRNS)—Friday’s meeting of the International Peace Coalition featured an appearance by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who joined Helga Zepp-LaRouche and others to address the increasingly brazen crackdown on dissenting opinion in the United States. Ritter’s house was raided Aug. 7 by the FBI and law enforcement officials, whereupon over two dozen of his documents and other property were seized. Ritter wrote of the event: “The FBI agents did more than seize my personal electronics when they searched my home on Aug. 7. They stole the truth.”
Aug. 16, 2024 (EIRNS)—There is an escalation underway in the dynamic toward nuclear war. At the same time, there is an escalation—in a “pre-war” mode—of attacks on persons, agencies and nations who oppose the war paradigm, and insist on seeking and making known the truth. These were the opening points presented by Schiller Institute leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche at today’s 63rd weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition, and also taken up in the remarks by Scott Ritter, former Marine and UN weapons inspector. He said, speaking of defending a free press, that there is a “Duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people.”
