Feb.12—The Chickenhawks running the Biden Administration—Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan—have declared that their psychotic plan to unleash the well-armed and well-trained Nazi militia in Ukraine against the Donbas is set to be implemented in the coming week. While Blinken and Sullivan say that a “Russian invasion of Ukraine can come at any moment,” unnamed sources in the White House and in NATO have informed the media that this will take place precisely on Wednesday, Feb. 16. The plan, they failed to report, is to provoke a response from the Russian military to defend their compatriots among the Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas from this Nazi assault, which will then be declared the much-anticipated “Russian invasion.” This, they imagine, will detonate either the West’s “nuclear sanctions” option, which they believe will destroy Russia (but which will do far greater damage to the Anglo-American allies in Europe), or they will go straight to military warfare. Given that the U.S. has just completed a nuclear war-fighting exercise “Global Lightning,” based on the insane, utopian fantasy that a prolonged nuclear war could be fought and won, the human race is facing an existential question—do we have the moral fitness to survive?Two former directors of the Bank for International Settlements, one French and one German, released an extraordinary document on Feb. 11 (see below) calling for France to leave NATO, asserting that NATO is now led by American “expansionists” who are prepared to sacrifice Europe, and perhaps the world, to maintain their past glory as the world’s unipolar controller of all things economic and strategic. (While they blame this entirely on American control of NATO, they do at least acknowledge the British hand: that it is the “alliance with adventurism of the Anglo-Saxons.”) These are not “anti-war activists”—these are rather French and German leaders of the establishment. They assert that the clearly “unprecedented brainwashing conducted by the United States and NATO on the theme of the ‘imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine’” may well “go down in history as an episode of disinformation along the lines of the fabricated intelligence on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction in 2003.” The antics of NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, they add, is reminiscent of the “famous Orwellian inversion: ‘Peace Is War.’” The full document is being circulated in several languages by EIR and the Schiller Institute. What could drive supposedly educated people like Blinken and Sullivan to such madness? The truth of the matter is increasingly clear, both to governments and to a growing plurality of the citizens of the trans-Atlantic nations: The Western world is entering a Dark Age, while most of the rest of the world is being motivated by a new force, represented by the extraordinary Feb. 4 declaration by Russia and China: “On the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development.” The document declares the end of the toleration by the world’s nations of unipolar control over the economy and security of the world. The “rules-based order” manufactured by the “only superpower,” which was invented to replace the principles of peaceful coexistence in the UN Charter, will no longer be acknowledged. As the Feb. 4 document states: “The world is going through momentous changes, and humanity is entering a new era of rapid development and profound transformation. It sees the development of such processes and phenomena as multipolarity, economic globalization, the advent of information society, cultural diversity, transformation of the global governance architecture and world order; there is increasing interrelation and interdependence between the States; a trend has emerged towards redistribution of power in the world; and the international community is showing a growing demand for the leadership aiming at peaceful and gradual development.” The human race has today been called upon by history and by the Creator to respond to this moment of truth, to answer the question posed above: Do we have the moral fitness to survive? Will we call upon all nations, and all the diverse cultures of humanity, to join together in this “New Era” of peace through development, or will the remnants of the failed era of empire and geopolitics bring the world to a fiery end? The Schiller Institute, following the conference on the humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan, co-sponsored by the Russian International Affairs Council on Thursday Feb. 10, will hold a full day conference on Saturday, Feb. 19th, on the theme that “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” The invitation to the conference is here: Please register, and circulate the invitation widely.

Feb 5—At 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon (Feb. 4), the following headline appeared on the Bloomberg News website: “Russia Invades Ukraine.” Note that it was then midnight in Moscow, and that President Vladimir Putin was not in the country, but in Beijing. For a full 30 minutes, this headline remained on the website, before it was finally removed, with Bloomberg News posting an attempted apology: “We prepare headlines for many scenarios and one of those headlines was inadvertently published at around 4 p.m. ET today on our website. We deeply regret the error.”Error? For months the Western media, with Bloomberg News right up front, have peddled the lie that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was “imminent.” The U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines briefed NATO leaders in October that the invasion would come in the last weeks of January or the early weeks of February. Day after day the lie was peddled that over 100,000 Russian troops were poised for the invasion on the Ukraine border, despite denials by not only Moscow, but even by Kiev! Error? Keep in mind that Sir Michael Bloomberg made his billions with a software which provided information on every trade taking place in the world in microseconds. “The chance that this was an accident is essentially zero,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche exclaimed today. “There must be a Congressional investigation immediately.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could not say whether or not it was an accident, but in any case, “This is a perfect demonstration of how dangerous the situation is when provoked by the endless aggressive statements that come from Washington, London and from other European governments. This is probably also a great demonstration of how such messages can lead to irreparable consequences.” Who is Sir Michael Bloomberg? Not only is he “Mr. Wall Street,” with his computer software used in virtually every financial institution, but he is also “Mr. Green New Deal,” taking great pleasure in the fact that he personally financed the campaign that shut down half of the U.S. coal mines, and also served as the United Nations’ Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions. At the Glasgow COP26 climate conference in November he announced a new effort aimed at closing a quarter of the world’s 2,445 coal plants, as well as stopping efforts underway to build 519 new coal plants by 2025. As any African leader will tell you, this means poverty and death for Africa. The fact that it is Michael Bloomberg, who is the operative in this war-mongering ploy, further proves the point emphasized for the past 50 years by Lyndon LaRouche and EIR: It is the collapse of the Western financial system (now apparent to all but the morally blind) which is the driving force for war, not the fake geopolitical accusations about “aggression” or “human rights abuse.” Not coincidentally, this incident comes on the same day that Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping met in Beijing, releasing a communiqué, titled “Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development.” To understand the profound importance of this historic document, it is instructive to read what a leading mouthpiece for the British Empire and the City of London, the Daily Telegraph, has to say about it. Under the headline, “Russia and China Rise from Their Knees To Challenge U.S. Dominance,” The Telegraph writes: “The message here is anything but routine. At a moment of immense international tension, Russia and China are asserting the arrival of a new geopolitical era. From now on, the dominance of the U.S.-led global West will no longer be taken for granted—or tolerated.” It is quite interesting that they dropped the usual phrase, “U.S.-led international order,” effectively acknowledging that the U.S. is no longer the “world’s only superpower,” but at best the leader of the “West.” The Telegraph continues: “After decades of humiliation, the world’s autocratic superpowers have risen from their knees and will now up-end the inequitable post-Cold War world order.” But they add, we are now entering “a long and frosty Cold War Two.” They also effectively acknowledge that the multiple efforts to turn Russia and China against each other have failed: “The hope that Mr. Xi might be persuaded to restrain his ally or remain aloof—or conversely that Mr. Putin could be enlisted to help contain China—has been dashed.” Unstated, but implied, is that all that is left for the dying British Empire is war, both military and economic warfare, in order to return Russia and China to their knees. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed this utopian insanity in an article to be released soon, “100 Seconds to Midnight on the Doomsday Clock—We Need a New Security Architecture!” This is a reference to Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which has kept its annual Doomsday Clock at 100 seconds to midnight for the third year in a row. Zepp-LaRouche insists that the new security architecture, demanded by both Russia and China, must include all nations; must include the right to development for all nations; and must end forever the Empire’s Malthusian paradigm. On February 19 the Schiller Institute will sponsor a virtual conference on this existential strategic crisis. It is essential, Zepp-LaRouche declared, that people everywhere recognize the incredible potential of this moment. Arriving at the brink of extinction is waking people up, causing them to look to see who has been lying and who has been telling the truth—and most important, who knows the necessary solution. This is the LaRouche Moment in history.

What if the U.S. and the U.K. declared war, but nobody came? Day after day the U.S. and U.K. media post screaming headlines about the imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine. Today’s edition includes the Daily Mail reporting that the U.K. government will announce moves to “target Russia’s strategic and financial interests tomorrow,” while Foreign Secretary Liz Truss ranted to Sky News: “Currently, the economic sanctions are fairly narrowly drawn, so we could only target companies with a direct involvement in destabilizing Ukraine. What we are looking to do is widen that so any company of interest to the Kremlin and the regime in Russia would be able to be targeted, so there will be nowhere to hide for Putin’s oligarchs, for Russian companies involved in propping up the Russian state. That’s what we are looking at doing this week.”This follows the open admission by the White House in a published rant on Jan. 25 by a “senior administration official” that U.S sanctions are intended to “hit Putin’s strategic ambitions to industrialize his economy.” There it is—bring down the Russian state, and stop Russia’s industrialization. Hitler had a similar ambition, and it is hard not to recognize the comparison to today. That insanity resulted in the death of 73 million souls. There are major differences, of course—for one, the U.S., U.K., and Russia have nuclear weapons, and 73 million or more would likely be killed on the first day. Nor is the U.S. hiding its intention to use nuclear weapons. Recall that U.S. Strategic Command chief Adm. Charles Richard said in February 2021 that nuclear war is no longer considered “unlikely,” but is now “a very real possibility” due to the rise of China and Russia. On Jan. 25, 2022 U.S. Strategic Command announced the kickoff this week of “Global Lightning 22,” “an annual command post exercise designed to train Department of Defense forces and assess joint operational readiness across USSTRATCOM mission areas,” that this year is being conducted “in coordination with U.S. Indo Pacific Command.” Newsweek yesterday quoted Hans M. Kristensen, the director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, that the exercise “includes practicing operations during a trans-/post-attack nuclear environment, including reconstitution, redirection and targeting of STRATCOM forces.” In other words, it not only contemplates nuclear first use by one side or the other, but also continued nuclear warfighting after the initial exchange. Then there is the “cheering on” of today’s Nazis. A Fox News report (with help from AP) today runs the headline with kicker: Ukrainian Volunteer Forces Prepare To Fight Off Russian Invasion as U.S. Troops Deploy to Eastern Europe—More than 130,000 Ukrainian volunteers are on reserve to defend against a potential Russian invasion." Such heroic coverage leaves out the fact that the “volunteers” they interview are members of the neo-Nazi militia, condemned even by the Israeli government as fascists. So what about the Ukraine government itself, and the Ukraine military? Today’s “egg on your face” story comes from Reuters on Jan. 28, claiming that three “unnamed U.S. officials” had informed them that the Russian military buildup along the Ukraine border had “expanded” to include “blood products” and other medical supplies, which certainly shows (they say) that Putin is prepared for an “imminent” invasion, as CNN says White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki has insisted. Not so, said the Ukraine Defense Ministry in a Jan. 29 statement: “The Center for Operational Information commented on information spread in some media about the alleged accumulation of blood supplies by the Russian Federation in the troops near the Ukrainian borders. First of all, it should be noted that this information, with reference to anonymous officials, was not confirmed by any official source from the relevant agencies of the partner countries. Monitoring and analysis of the current situation around the Ukrainian borders does not record such activities. This is evidenced by the exchange of information between intelligence services and foreign partners. Such information ‘interventions’ are an element of information and psychological warfare, the purpose of which is to provoke fear and panic in our society. The Operational Information Center urges not to disseminate unverified information from anonymous sources and to use official data.” Is this the nation we are to “defend” by going to war with Russia, and possibly also China? We must assure the maximum possible viewership for the Jan. 22 Schiller Institute forum: “A Difference In Leadership: Can War with Russia Still Be Averted?” featuring Helga Zepp-LaRouche and First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy, along with host Dennis Speed, LaRouche Organization expert Harley Schlanger, EIR Economics Editor Paul Gallagher, and Schiller Institute Representative at the United Nations Richard A. Black.

On Christmas Day, 1776, George Washington restored hope and optimism within the struggling colonies and the bedraggled Continental Army that the British yoke could be removed and a free nation could be established as a beacon of hope for all mankind. It meant that Christmas celebrations had to be replaced with a stealth surprise attack, crossing the ice-filled Delaware River, in order to win a victory and restore confidence that the colonies could defeat the British.Today, Christmas Day 2021, the Schiller Institute has released a timeline with a stern warning contained in its title: “Are We Sleepwalking into Thermonuclear World War III?” While Christmas is a time to give blessings and prayers for Peace On Earth and Goodwill Towards Men (Luke 2:14), we, like George Washington before us, must recognize that there can be no peace or goodwill if the current descent into war and a new dark age are not addressed and reversed, immediately. How can we celebrate the birth of the child Jesus as a savior of mankind while the trans-Atlantic nations are denying the means of subsistence to millions of children facing starvation in Afghanistan, in Yemen, and other nations as well? How can we honor the Prince of Peace while our political leaders are threatening economic destruction and even nuclear war on Russia and China? President Vladimir Putin reflected this same sentiment during his four hour annual year end press conference Dec. 23. “Mr. President,” he was asked, “what should we prepare for? What is a realistic outlook, and since the word ‘war’ has been said out loud, have we estimated the probability of war even as the result of a provocation?” Putin answered by reviewing the history of Ukraine, which was created as a nation as part of the Soviet Union in 1922-24, including regions which were historically Russian, and with majority populations which spoke Russian. With the collapse of the U.S.S.R., these Russian citizens were stranded outside their own country, both in Crimea and the Donbas, but Russia accepted this—until the U.S.-backed neo-Nazi coup against the elected government in 2014. Putin said he could not turn his back on the Russian people in Crimea who voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, but when the people of the Donbas formed independent republics, he negotiated with Kiev, and with the Western powers, to not use military force against them, while peace was negotiated. But now, Putin said, “we hear: war, war, war,” with preparations to use military force against the Donbas, while “under the cover of these new weapon systems [delivered by the U.S.], radicals may well decide to settle the Donbas issue, as well as the Crimea issue.” Most revealingly, Putin concluded his answer: “This is a serious matter. I have just spoken about our plans for infrastructure development, social policy, and healthcare. But what does it all mean if we end up in the conflict you are asking about? This is not our choice, and we do not want it.” There are some positive steps, however tentative, indicating that some in the West are trying to pull back from the brink. A ceasefire was negotiated in Ukraine by the OSCE, working with representatives from Kiev, the Donbas and Russia. Talks are planned for early January between Russia, the U.S. and several European states on the security demands presented by Russia, as well as strategic stability. Putin said that “the overall response we have been seeing has been quite positive. Our American partners are telling us that they are ready to launch this conversation…. Both sides have appointed representatives.” Also indicating some steps toward sanity, the UN has agreed to lift sanctions on humanitarian aid to be delivered to Afghanistan over the next year, while former Afghan President (during the occupation) Hamid Karzai, told CNN that the world must work with the reality on the ground, meaning the Taliban government, and to “bring Afghanis together.” Asked about Taliban “atrocities,” Karzai said there were atrocities on all sides—Americans bombing villages, Taliban suicide bombers. Now there must be peace: “we must plan for the future.” He added that there had been some small aid during the war—some roads, some education facilities and so fourth, “but under the name of a war against terorism, it has been a disaster for us.” He asked for a “relationship of respect and understanding” between Afghanistan and the U.S. While we mobilize to prevent war, to reverse the financial and economic collapse, to provide modern health systems to all nations, to build independent and productive nations worldwide, to restore classical culture—these are all One, and will only be achieved as a One, a new paradigm for mankind. Let us celebrate Christmas with that dedication, that commitment to truly achieve Goodwill Towards Men.

A group of Russian doctors today issued a public letter to a group of “anti-vaxxers” whose scientific qualifications for their expert advice amounts to playing doctors on TV, or being worshiped as rock stars. Written by the chief physician at Moscow’s main hospital treating COVID-19 patients, the letter states: “We are a bit busy at the moment, and you can guess why. But since many people are reading and listening to you, we will find time to arrange a tour of the ‘red zones,’ intensive care and pathology departments for you. Maybe after that, you will change your mind and fewer people will die.”Earlier this week, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, the former U.S. Surgeon General and Co-Initiator with Helga Zepp-LaRouche of the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites, issued an “Open Letter to Virologists and Medical Experts Around the World to Address the Covid-19 Pandemic.” Dr. Elders goes beyond the painful plea of the Russian doctors to overcome the obscurantism of the anti-vaxxers. After 20 months of the killer pandemic, with over five million deaths, she writes, the world “has yet to adopt a unified educational and public information campaign to educate all of the world’s people as to what we all must do…. Pandemics, by their nature, cannot be defeated locally or regionally, but must be addressed globally, with global cooperation and collaboration.” It is obvious to any honest observer of the current crisis of civilization, with mass starvation in several parts of the world and an out-of-control pandemic, that the collapse or non-existence of a modern health care system in most parts of the world, including the U.S. and Europe, is being ignored, while the royals and billionaires at the Glasgow COP26 conference retail fake science regarding the climate to divert attention from their genocidal intention. It should be just as obvious that the creation of the anti-vaccine movement comes from the same Malthusian architects. Why are so many people raging against vaccines, while ignoring the fact that the advanced nations have denied access to vaccines to most of the poor nations of the world, with a mere 5% of Africans vaccinated at this point? Are they any less subject to medieval superstition than the poor deranged youth convinced the world will burn up if the progress of the human race is not immediately curtailed? Spain, the only country in Europe not experiencing a 4th or 5th round of COVID-19—and the only one which has lifted all restrictions, even while most of the others are implementing new lockdowns—has successfully vaccinated 96% of those over 40 years old, and 89% of those over 12. Does this tell us anything? Before World War II, the British and their American dupes promoted eugenics, the pseudo-science launched by Darwinian follower Francis Galton, as legitimate science, arguing that race determined intelligence, and that the “lesser races” must be occasionally “culled” to prevent over-population of defectives. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the family of Averell Harriman and other blue-bloods, the Third International Congress of Eugenics was held in 1932 at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. Dr. Ernst Rudin, the German eugenicist, was unanimously elected president of the International Federation of Eugenics Organizations. Rudin then proceeded to run Adolf Hitler’s sterilization programs and the Nazi extermination policy. While eugenics was discredited by the policies of Rudin and Hitler, the insane notion that carbon is dangerous to mankind, and to the planet, is no less evil, and far more deadly. So, too, are the efforts to prevent the use of vaccines, especially the refusal to make them available to the whole of the human race, as part of the urgent necessity that modern health facilities be created in every nation on Earth. You are encouraged to support and circulate the statement by Dr. Elders.

“It’s one minute to midnight” warned Boris Johnson, adding that we must “consign coal to history.” “The existential threat to human existence as we know it,” echoed Joe Biden. “What we need is a comprehensive transformation of the way we live, work and do business,” whined the lame duck Angela Merkel. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres accused countries of “treating nature like a toilet” as he warned of a looming “climate catastrophe.”The Führer for the witches and goblins gathered in Glasgow—the guiding light to these would-be Gods of Olympus—is none other than the Heir to the Throne of the British Empire, Charles, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay. “Our efforts cannot be a series of independent initiatives running on parallel,” proclaimed the Malthusian Prince in his speech today. “The scale and scope of the threat we face call for a global systems-level solution based on radically transforming our current fossil fuel-based economy to one that is genuinely renewable and sustainable.” But who is listening? Another Englishman, Percy Bysshe Shelly, who loved Mankind rather than wishing to “cull the herd,” once wrote about an earlier version of such Olympians: I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert…. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." COP26, now known as FLOP26, was to be the final nail in the coffin of industrial society, the end of human progress, the return to a primitive existence where the wind and the sun would provide enough energy for the fewer than one billion people who survived. The Club of Rome’s “Limits to Growth” utopia was to be made the “rule of law,” to be imposed on the “lesser races.” But Lyndon LaRouche’s refutation of the Club of Rome—his 1983 book There Are No Limits To Growth—is now like a spirit, an unseen force of optimism awakening nations and peoples around the world. The majority of the human population, whose governments care more for the wellbeing of their citizens than the survival of the Casino Mondial known as the Western banking system, have decided that the royals and the billionaires running the Great Reset, the Green New Deal, have no more real power than Ozymandias: • Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Oct. 12: “Energy security should be the premise on which a modern energy system is built and the capacity for energy self-supply should be enhanced…. Given the predominant place of coal in the country’s energy and resource endowment, it is important to optimize the layout for the coal production capacity, build advanced coal-fired power plants as appropriate in line with development needs, and continue to phase out outdated coal plants in an orderly fashion. Domestic oil and gas exploration will be intensified.” • Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, essentially speaking for Africa in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Oct. 24 titled “Solar and Wind Force Poverty on Africa,” wrote: “Africa can’t sacrifice its future prosperity for Western climate goals. The continent should balance its energy mix, not rush straight toward renewables — even though that will likely frustrate some of those gathering at next week’s global climate conference in Glasgow.” With the exception of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, none of the leaders of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are attending the Glasgow Gala, which Prince Charles described as the “last chance saloon.” (Ironically, the Collins Dictionary, published in Glasgow and used in most U.K. schools, defines “last chance saloon” as “a place frequented by unsavory or contemptible people.”) But Prime Minister Modi’s presence is not bringing any relief to the failing Olympians in Glasgow. He, like virtually every developing sector leader, is insisting that the developed countries live up to their pledge (thus far ignored) to provide $100 billion annually to pay for the “transitioning” away from fossil fuels. However, Modi insisted that that money must not be used for “mitigation,” to reduce carbon emissions, but for “adaptation” to counter the harm supposedly caused by global warming. Calling the emphasis on mitigation an “injustice towards the developing countries that are heavily affected,” he proposed instead that the money be used for providing “Clean Tap Water for All” and “Clean Cooking Fuel for All,” and invited all countries to join the “Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.” But the danger is still great. The bankers who run the Green New Deal have simply asserted their power over governments to set economic policies worldwide, by cutting off credit to fossil fuels and those industries and agricultural sectors they deem to have too large a “carbon footprint.” Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of England and UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, will be speaking at FLOP26 on Wednesday, Nov. 3, on how the global banking empire can dictate de-industrialization and de-population to the world. As Lyndon LaRouche often said (and as Vladimir Putin repeated last week in a speech in Sochi), the would-be gods on Mount Olympus may be screaming their demands to mankind below them, but they fail to recognize that the mountain is crumbling beneath their feet. They are dangerous, but extremely vulnerable to an awakened population which joins in an International Anti-Malthusian Alliance. Join the Schiller Institute Conference on Nov. 13-14, to add your voice to that Alliance.

With only days until thousands of people are scheduled to descend on Glasgow, Scotland, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, a sense of panic has set in among the British Royals that this well-planned conclave, in which the world was supposed to sign on to a self-inflicted suicide pact for the human race, is facing a potential massive failure. Prince Charles, who, together with the bankers in the City of London, has been the driving force of the Climate Change conferences since the 1990s, complained bitterly to the BBC this week that many countries “just talk, and the problem is to get action on the ground, which I’ve been trying to do for forty years.” His son Prince William, being groomed by Charles to take his place as the chief green genocide merchant, told BBC that we should stop wasting time and money on space travel, rather: “We need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live.” William will be introducing his “Earthshot Prize,” described as “a Nobel-like prize for the environment,” to five recipients at COP26.And now the Queen has weighed in, allowing herself to be picked up on a microphone saying: “I’ve been hearing about COP. We still don’t know who is coming, no idea. We only know about people who are not coming, and it’s really irritating when they ‘talk,’ but they don’t ‘do.’” Indeed, President Xi Jinping let it be known that he will not be travelling to Glasgow, as did Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison—Australia is the world’s leading producer of coal, while China is the leading consumer of coal. The Green fascists were set on ending the use of coal altogether. But it’s not only that the many leaders are not attending. Indeed, the emergence of massive inflation over the past months, verging on a hyperinflationary destruction of the world economy, has been a rude awakening to the fact that the green fascist effort to replace fossil fuels with unreliable wind turbines and solar panels is blowing up the world economy. Addressing this, the Schiller Institute and the CLINTEL group of international scientists issued a joint statement this week titled: “A Wake-Up Call: The Danger For Mankind Is Not the Climate, But Toleration of a Devious Policy That Uses Climate To Destroy Us.” China, for instance, dealt a huge blow to the Green New Deal fanatics this week when Premier Li Keqiang, following a meeting of the National Energy Commission to address the shortages of coal, issued a statement which included: “Given the predominant place of coal in the country’s energy and resource endowment, it is important to optimize the layout for the coal production capacity, build advanced coal-fired power plants as appropriate in line with development needs, and continue to phase out outdated coal plants in an orderly fashion. Domestic oil and gas exploration will be intensified.” India, meanwhile, which generates 70% of its energy from coal-fired stations, is not about to cut coal production, but the opposite. Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade today announced a plan to double the amount of coal-fired electricity generation by the year 2030. Similar responses to the massive energy inflation driven by the Great Reset are showing up internationally. Even the monetarists, the “Economic Royals,” who undermined the Bretton Woods system, unleashing the wild speculation which brought the world to the current crisis, are suddenly screaming that the Green New Deal is behind the threat of hyperinflation. Larry Summers, who was the Treasury Secretary in the 1990s when Glass-Steagall was rescinded, among his other crimes, is now whining that “we’re in more danger than we’ve been during my career of losing control of inflation in the U.S.” He correctly points to the Central Bankers, who are “defining themselves by their wokeness, by how socially concerned they are.” While he doesn’t name it, it is well known that the Green New Deal is being run by the central bankers perverse agreement to cut credit to fossil fuels, industry and agriculture, while creating a new “green bubble” to prop up the banking system, under the lie that carbon drives climate change. This was set in place by the “Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System” established in 2017 under the direction of the former head of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, with help from the French and Dutch Central Bank chiefs. Of course, Summers offers no alternative In addition to their fear that their financial system is crashing, the Royals, both in London and on Wall Street, also recognize that if the rest of the world does not go along with their “climate change” fraud, and turn instead to the alternative being offered by China through the Belt and Road Initiative, then the Empire will not survive. The New Silk Road, initiated by Lyndon and Helga LaRouche following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and implemented by China’s Xi Jinping as the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, is now fully supported by Russia and 140 other nations as a means of escaping from poverty in the same way that China did—by massive infrastructure development, especially energy dense fossil fuels and nuclear power. The world is teetering on the brink of financial chaos and global thermonuclear war, while the U.S. and Western Europe are descending into a drug-infested, culturally perverse Hell. And yet, it is precisely this reality, increasingly obvious to anyone with their eyes open, that can lead people to do away with their false assumptions, to make the decision that they must think creatively, with people from every part of the world, to bring about a new paradigm based on the common aims of mankind. This is the LaRouche moment.

It would be possible to report on a number of diplomatic steps underway by the Biden Administration, and conclude that there is an American shift toward negotiating peace and development. But then, it were equally possible to report on an equally significant number of steps being taken by the same Administration which would lead to the opposite conclusion—that preparations for war are underway, and close to a point of no return.One need only recall that the decision to end the fruitless and bloody “endless war” in Afghanistan—a move towards sanity—was followed by the British imperial move to unite the U.S., UK and Australia in a military pact, a step towards an “Asian NATO” to prepare for war on China. On Oct. 5, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos del Toro released a “strategic guidance” which declared China to be the greatest single danger to the U.S. The “central governing concept, the top priority,” he says, is to “expand our war-fighting advantages vis-á-vis the People’s Republic of China” by “expanding our global posture” to surround and threaten both China and Russia. China’s response to the provocation—especially to the Wall Street Journal claim that the U.S. has military personnel on the ground in Taiwan training the Taiwan military—is equally stark, making clear in a Global Times editorial that if this is true, it will be considered an “invasion” of China’s sovereign territory, and that the U.S. forces would be the first to be eliminated if it comes to war. And in regard to Russia, the contradictions within U.S. policy are equally absurd, as the Biden Administration asserts the need to improve our diplomatic cooperation with Moscow, followed immediately by NATO’s expulsion of 8 of the 18 Russian representatives to NATO. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov concluded: “NATO is not an instrument of cooperation, not an instrument for interaction; it is a bloc that overall is anti-Russian in nature,” making it impossible to resume dialogue. And yet, as you will see below, the administration today restored dialogue with the Taliban in Doha, including a representative from the Agency for International Development, giving some hope that the U.S. will end the sanctions and withholding of Afghan funds which are responsible for the near starvation of millions of innocents. The administration also held a round of trade talks this morning with China, described by both sides as “candid, pragmatic and constructive.” Behind the contradictory measures in foreign policy is the growing recognition that the global economy has entered into a general breakdown crisis. This is not simply a matter of speculators doing what they always do when released from regulation—rather, the system itself is disintegrating. Supply chains are broken, leading to factories being shut down and empty shelves, while energy production by efficient fossil fuels and nuclear power has been replaced with inefficient and intermittent sources more appropriate to the 17th century when there were less than 1 billion souls in the world. Indeed, this Malthusian depopulation is the intent. Reactions are coming in from around the world to the release by EIR Daily Alert Service exposing the words of Klaus Schwab, the head of the international banking conclave known as the World Economic Forum which is at the center of the “Great Reset” and the “Green New Deal.” Schwab states in his book Stakeholder Capitalism that development in Africa and elsewhere must be stopped at once, since “the same force that helps people escape from poverty and lead a decent life is the one that is destroying the livability of our planet.” While there is a growing backlash against this evil, which could—and must—cause the failure of the genocidal intentions of the COP26 climate conference next month in Glasgow, nonetheless, the thousands of scientists who know that carbon has no measurable impact on the climate must be heard, and this Malthusian climate hoax—fascism with a Green face—stopped in its tracks. The fact that the architects of this genocidal attack on the human race are increasingly frightened that they are being exposed was further demonstrated this week when they instructed their “Thought Police” at Google and YouTube to ban any advertising which challenges the fake climate change dogma. As in the bloody French Revolution, when the great French scientist Antoine Lavoisier was guillotined under the cry, “The revolution has no need of science,” those leading scientists telling the truth about carbon today are blacked out and ridiculed as “climate deniers.” There is a campaign to declare “ecocide” a crime, equivalent to homicide against human beings. The antidote to this global crisis is presented in the pamphlet now being circulated by The LaRouche Organization, “The Coming U.S. Economic Miracle on the New Silk Road.” This is the necessary and optimistic program required to put the great potential of American science and technology to work, rebuilding itself and building those nations destroyed by the Anglo-American endless wars, and the many others kept in backwardness by the colonial and neo-colonial policies of the past 70 years.

The report that the U.S. Office of Special Counsel has demanded that the Department of Justice investigate a complaint filed by whistleblowers from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in Haiti, that the DEA had allowed a shipment of heroin and cocaine to pass through “unimpeded” in 2015 and “has been looking the other way, [and] for over a decade Port au Prince has been a safe port to ship heroin and cocaine without interference through Haiti, generally destined for Florida in the United States,” shines a new light on the role of “Dope, Inc.” (as it was called by Executive Intelligence Review in their best-selling series of books by that name) in the destitution of the Island nation of 11 million people. Following the devastating earthquake of Jan. 12, 2010, which killed as many as 250,000 people, virtually nothing was done to restore the massive damage in Haiti, let alone create a modern water and sanitation system or a modern health system. Cholera, largely eliminated in Haiti and elsewhere at that time, spread across the island, killing thousands.Drugs are not produced in Haiti—in fact, there is little significant consumption of drugs, either, as almost no one can afford it. It is only valuable to Dope, Inc. as a transshipment point to the United States. Not so for China. As covered in depth in the Oct. 1, 2021 issue of EIR: “In August of 2017, two Chinese companies—the Southwest Municipal Engineering and Design Research Institute of China (SMEDRIC), and the Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC)—outlined a series of detailed projects valued at $4.7 billion to carry out the rebuilding of the capital [Port-au-Prince] and its environs. In publicizing its proposal and producing a short video on it, the SMEDRIC company indicated that the projects for Haiti’s capital were part of a broader $30 billion proposal for the whole country.” The EIR article provides maps and descriptions of the Chinese plan for transforming the almost non-existent sewage and water system, road and rail development, power systems, and more, to create a modern, humane economy in Haiti. Why did this Haiti extension of China’s Belt and Road Initiative not get implemented? EIR reports: “The Schiller Institute was told at the time that the International Monetary Fund and related Wall Street interests put the squeeze on Haiti to reject them. The State Department and the U.S. government, already nervous that Panama had broken with Taiwan just two months earlier, on June 13 [2017], were not going to tolerate any plan whose acceptance by Haiti would imply its willingness to break with Taiwan.” The Dope, Inc. connections won out against China’s New Silk Road approach. In Afghanistan, a similar showdown is taking place between Dope, Inc. and New Silk Road. In the year preceding the U.S.-NATO invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, UN Under Secretary Pino Arlacchi, executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, successfully negotiated with the Taliban government to shut down the opium production, substituting food production with financial and technical help from the UN. The fact is, Arlacchi told anyone listening, that opium production earned less than food production for the farmers, and also for the Taliban government—the money from drugs is centered in the banks which finance the international trade. Thus, when the British forces occupied the prime opium production centers in Kandahar, opium production soared, to well beyond its previous highs, to the point that Afghanistan has produced 80% of the world’s opium during the U.S./NATO occupation, consumed primarily in Russia and Europe. The City of London and Wall Street prospered. It is of note that Antonio Maria Costa, who served in the same capacity at the UN as Arlacchi from 2002-2010, told the press in December 2009, following the collapse of the Western financial system in 2008: “In many instances, the money from drugs was the only liquid investment capital. In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system’s main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor.” Had the restoration of the opium trade in Afghanistan following the U.S.-NATO invasion not taken place, the wildly speculative Western banking system may well have gone under in 2008. Now, with Afghanistan again under Taliban rule, the acting Taliban government in Kabul has pledged to eliminate the opium trade. Of course, if they continue to be denied access to the nation’s own money—which has been frozen by the U.S. Federal Reserve—and denied foreign investment to restore the destruction wrought by 20 years of U.S.-NATO bombing, then the farmers will have no choice but to continue eking out a living through opium production. But history has created another option, the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, with 140 nations as partners, offering basic infrastructure development to all countries, as the means for the formerly colonized nations to finally escape from poverty, just as China eliminated abject poverty entirely as of 2020. Every country in the region is offering support to the concept of extending the Belt and Road into Afghanistan. This would include a rail extension of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, through the Khyber Pass west of Peshawar, to Kabul and north to Uzbekistan, offering the Central Asian nations their first connection to the ocean via Gwadar and Karachi in Pakistan and Chabahar in Iran. It would include a crop substitution policy to eliminate opium, as proposed in 2010 from Pino Arlacchi—whom Helga Zepp-LaRouche has recommended become the special representative for the development of Afghanistan. It would include a modern health system, with water and power development to sustain a modern agro-industrial nation. Who could oppose such a new paradigm for a nation which has suffered 40 years of warfare? Only the international financial oligarchy, who, in this moment of financial crisis far more severe than that of 2008—worse even than 1929—require the hot money from their Dope, Inc. enterprise to stay afloat for a bit longer, and to continue deadening the minds of their own populations through the legalization of these poisonous drugs, a process now sweeping the United States and Europe. What is true in Haiti and Afghanistan is equally true globally. The choice facing mankind can be characterized as a showdown between Dope, Inc.—the City of London and Wall Street banks running both the drug trade and the “Green Finance” scam, denying credit to productive industry and agriculture—versus the New Silk Road, now in place as the Belt and Road Initiative. The U.S., in particular, must choose, whether to stay with Dope, Inc., prevent China and its many partners from developing Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and the nations of Africa and Ibero-America; or to join the New Silk Road, collaborate with China, Russia, and eventually every nation on Earth, in a new paradigm based on “Peace Through Development.” The program for this new paradigm, creating a world worthy of the dignity of man, has now been published by The LaRouche Organization: “The Coming U.S. Economic Miracle on the New Silk Road.” Read it and help circulate it everywhere.

The level of panic, and outright horror, being expressed by leading spokesmen for the British Empire, is unprecedented in modern times. Perhaps a review of the British press in October 1781, following Cornwallis’s surrender at Yorktown, would find a similar public gnashing of teeth. Perhaps also in April 1865, when the Empire’s Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, ending the Empire’s last great hope for the military destruction of the Union. Since then, the Empire has depended on subversion rather than military power. In the Great War, the British succeeded in dragging the racist, Anglophile Woodrow Wilson into saving them at the last moment, while in World War II Franklin Roosevelt joined the war only because the Frankenstein monster the City of London had created in Germany was an even greater danger—and he forced the British to accept an alliance with the Soviet Union and China, without which the war would possibly have been lost.Unfortunately, after the death of Roosevelt, and Harry Truman’s capitulation to the Empire and help to the European imperial powers in retaking their colonies, and especially after the successful assassination of Jack Kennedy, the City of London has systematically replaced the Hamiltonian American System of directed credit with the British System of free markets and deregulation of banking and industry, while also flooding the U.S. with their drugs and their Malthusian “environmentalist” delusions. Despite Lyndon LaRouche’s clear explication of this subversion, and his presentation of the steps necessary to return to the American System, his ideas were suppressed and he was slandered and persecuted, while America became the dumb giant to the British financial oligarchy, waging wars on behalf of the Empire in Indochina, Central Europe, and Southwest Asia. When Donald Trump appeared out of nowhere (or so the Empire’s minions believed), threatening to end the endless wars, be friends with Russia and China, reject the fake science of anthropogenic climate change, and rebuild American industry and infrastructure, the British control of the U.S. media, the intelligence community, and Wall Street left Trump impotent to do anything but fight the coup attempt led by MI6 and GCHQ. In the end, none of his promises were realized, and the Empire heaved a huge sigh of relief. But look what has happened now! The aging, stumbling Joe Biden has done what Donald Trump failed to do—end the endless war in Afghanistan, without listening to or even consulting John Bull. Biden acted on the basis of what Tony Blair called the “imbecilic political slogan about ending ‘the forever wars,’” And, horror of horrors, the Empire is suddenly seeing the ghost of FDR drifting overhead, threatening to bring the World War II cooperation between the U.S., China, and Russia together again, to address their common aim to develop Afghanistan, to end the miserable backward conditions which foster terorism and drug production, and extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor into Afghanistan as part of the New Silk Road. See below for the hysteria coming from the British today. Biden is not promoting this himself, at least not publicly, although representatives of his government have participated in international forums where these issues were put forward. But even the Empire senses that decisions in the U.S. are not always made by the President alone, but by what Lyndon LaRouche called the “institution of the presidency.” Just as that institution during the Trump Administration was dominated by the military-industrial complex and their Wall Street allies, so today the Afghanistan decision, and Biden’s capacity to stand up against the almost universal denunciation from the Congress, the media, and the military-industrial crowd, demonstrates a powerful resistance from the current institution of the presidency. As demonstrated in the last year-and-a-half of Schiller Institute conferences, leading scientists, political leaders, policy experts, retired military, health professionals, farmers, and more, from all over the world, including from Russia and China, have engaged in dialogue at the highest level on the urgent need for a new paradigm based on global “peace through development.” The Empire is not omnipotent. In fact, it is decadent and dying. It is capable of provoking chaos, even a nuclear war, but only if the people fail to live up to what Friedrich Schiller posed as the responsibility of all human beings to be “patriots of one’s nation and citizens of the world.” This is our moment.

Can the human race survive the crisis now threatening mankind itself? Will we as a race continue the descent into global nuclear war, an out of control pandemic, a hyperinflationary destruction of the means of survival, a cultural collapse into a new Dark Age? Or can this existential crisis serve as a spark of human creativity in enough citizens of the world, to both end the insanity which brought us to this point, and launch a new paradigm which unites the nations of the world in achieving the common aims of mankind—peace through development? The answer lies not only in what people think, but how they think. Can we spark creativity in a population which has been degraded through scientific frauds, drugs, pornography, perpetual warfare and economic decay?This was the theme of the conference today, the first to be sponsored by the LaRouche Legacy Foundation. Helga Zepp-LaRouche was joined by leaders from around the world—political leaders, economists, musicians, scientists, and youth, from Russia, China, Slovakia, Germany, France, Austria, Argentina, Philippines, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, Peru, Colombia and Ukraine, for a dialogue on “LaRouche’s Discovery” and on “Earth’s Next Fifty Years,” under the theme: “So, Are You Finally Willing To Learn Economics?” The LaRouche Legacy Foundation is in the process of publishing LaRouche’s Complete Works, of which Volume 1 is now available. It was fifty years ago, on Aug. 15, 1971, that Lyndon LaRouche became quite famous, but also became the target of what former Attorney General Ramsey Clark described as “a complex and pervasive utilization of law enforcement, prosecution, media, and non-governmental organizations focussed on destroying an enemy…. The purpose can only be seen as destroying—more than a political movement, more than a political figure—it is those two; but it’s a fertile engine of ideas, a common purpose of thinking and studying and analyzing to solve problems, regardless of the impact on the status quo, or on vested interests. It was a deliberate purpose to destroy that at any cost.” On this day in 1971, President Richard Nixon scrapped the Bretton Woods system, which had sustained world development in the post-World War II era, by decoupling the U.S. dollar from its peg to gold, allowing all the world’s currencies to float, to become the subject of speculation, and for the British system of “free markets” and deregulation to replace the Hamiltonian American System, which is based on the concept of directed credit to enhance the general welfare and lift the productivity of labor. EIR Economics Editor Paul Gallagher explained to the thousands of participants in the conference from around the world (with simultaneous translation in Spanish, French, German and Russian), that the Bretton Woods which was adopted after Franklin Roosevelt’s death was not the system intended by FDR. Rather, Roosevelt had insisted that after the war, the former European colonies must be granted full independence, and that American System production of the capital goods needed to industrialize the entire world would drive U.S. production while also ending the colonial era for good. But Harry Truman, whom LaRouche denounced as a little man serving Wall Street, helped the Europeans to restore their colonies, while the U.S. was turned inward. The subsequent focus on internal consumerism through debt, rather than capital exports, LaRouche forecast—uniquely among all economists—would cause recessions and the collapse of Bretton Woods. This was but the first of LaRouche’s forecasts, all of which were proven to be fully prescient. A video of LaRouche speaking in 2001 described his many forecasts, emphasizing that he “was standing alone” among economists who were trapped in British monetarist ideology, thinking of money, not the physical transformation of nature, or the condition of the human race. Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s keynote speech provided a powerful insight into her husband Lyndon LaRouche’s capacity to inspire people from all different layers of society, from heads of state to Peruvian fishermen and Italian shoemakers, to grasp a different way of thinking,—that one cannot separate politics, science, and culture, and that all aspects of life fall under the centrality of creativity as the difference between man and beast, driving the science of physical economy as the true science of human progress. She later noted that anyone who met LaRouche would experience an awakening of their own powers of reason, through the creativity of LaRouche’s mind engaging them. Zepp-LaRouche traced her husband’s debt to Plato, Leibniz, Kepler and other giants of history, in making his own discoveries. She reviewed the new means for measuring progress which he had created—“relative potential population density,” and “energy flux-density”—and the interconnection between these crucial concepts. She explored Lyn’s initial decision to combat the statistical method of systems analysis of Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann, which treated the mind as a computer, promoting artificial intelligence as a replacement for the mind. This false concept of the nature of man has grown today into the insanity of the “models” which drive the climate hoax, financial speculation, and the oligarchical society. She concluded by calling for the “replacement of the quackery of information theory with the ideas of LaRouche in all universities.” The leading Chinese economist Ding Yifan, who has written about LaRouche’s ideas in several books, noted that LaRouche focused on two crimes from the ending of Bretton Woods: the abuse of currencies through floating exchange rates, allowing speculators to attack national currencies; and the deregulation of the financial system, which allowed the speculators to take over. He noted two events in Chinese history, once during the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, and then in the Mongol era in the 14th century, when similar disregard for the difference between money and the real economy led to the collapse of the dynasties. Today’s QE and other hyperinflationary money printing, he said, is creating a cancer in the economy—a demonstration of LaRouche’s warning about entropy resulting from the failure to develop the real economy. Jozef Miklosko, the former Vice Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia and former Slovakian Ambassador to Italy, described his friend LaRouche as the most educated man he’d ever known, and noted that 80 pages of his book was on LaRouche and his organization. He described his trip to visit LaRouche in prison, where his optimism and agapē were undeterred. He also reviewed the injustice of LaRouche’s incarceration, and the worldwide mobilization of world citizens who united to protest that injustice. He described LaRouche as the “Sakharov of America,” calling for a new revolution of Christian agapē. He recommended that a “short book” be produced in all languages on LaRouche’s ideas, which was embraced by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and moderator Dennis Small of the LaRouche Legacy Foundation, while observing that capturing LaRouche’s ideas in a “short” book would be quite difficult indeed. Dr. Natalia Vitrenko, Chairwoman of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine and a former Parliamentarian and presidential candidate, gave an impassioned presentation, titled “Saving Mankind: Is It a Mission—Possible?,” on her cooperation with Lyndon and Helga LaRouche. She pointed to the Biden-Putin Summit as correctly indicating the dangerous strategic crisis, but warned that it did not address the fundamental causes of that crisis, in the systemic destruction of the world economic and financial system. She reviewed the dire state of the world economy, and the necessary solutions posed by LaRouche. She called the state of the Western banking system a “speculative giant squid,” sucking the wealth out of the world. She also reviewed the destruction of Ukraine following the 2014 coup, driving the country from being one of the top ten economies in the world to now the poorest in Europe, with 10 million going hungry, and a population decline by over 20% since 1990. She closed: “Will we be a cemetery with windmills in place of crosses?” Dr. Kirk Meighoo, a former Senator in Trinidad & Tobago, an author and a political activist, described how he become a development economist through his education (in Toronto, Jamaica and the U.K.), but only when he discovered LaRouche through the internet did he realize that his profound ideas had been censored in all the universities. He described how the emergence of China, India and Russia as major economies should have led to a new world order, and that the G20 had made an effort in that direction, but failed, while the BRICS has now been torn apart. The pandemic destroyed economies around the world, he said, while money was printed up in outrageous quantities to bail out the banks, “transfering the wealth from the poor to the rich.” Resolving this crisis can only be achieved by ending the neoliberal system altogether, he noted, and commended the LaRouche movement for leading that effort. Yekaterina Fyodorovna Shamayeva from Russia, a senior lecturer, spoke on “Design and Management of Sustainable Development and an Interdisciplinary Synthesis of the Fundamental Ideas of the Schools of Lyndon LaRouche and Pobisk Kuznetsov.” The late Pobisk Kuznetsov was one of Russia’s leading scientists and philosophic thinkers, who became a close friend and collaborator of Lyndon LaRouche following the fall of the Soviet Union. He proposed that a new unit of measure of the progress of physical economies be based on LaRouche’s dual conceptions of relative potential population density and energy flux-density, and that the unit be called the “La,” after LaRouche. Shamayeva described the continuing effort in Russia to bring about a synthesis of the ideas of Kuznetsov and LaRouche, emphasizing that economics cannot be separated from the laws of nature. She called for more of LaRouche’s works to be translated into Russian (there is already a large number of LaRouche’s major writings available in Russian). The first panel closed with video presentations and readings about LaRouche from several people who have since died, among them: former Attorney General Ramsey Clark on the miscarriage of justice in the persecution of LaRouche; Dr. Enéas Carneiro, a former member of the Brazilian parliament and presidential candidate, on why LaRouche was granted honorary citizenship in the city of São Paulo; former President of Mexico José López Portillo, who in 1998 called on the world to “listen to the wise words of Lyndon LaRouche”; and former Foreign Minister of Guyana Fred Wills, who in 1976 called on the UN General Assembly to adopt LaRouche’s idea of a New International Economic Order. Fascinating dialogue during the Q&A session centered on three questions from the audience: 1) What is the difference between “forecasts” and “predictions?” 2) Do new technologies and robots threaten to cause unemployment? 3) What is the difference between Marxism, neoliberalism, and Christian socialism? The second panel, “Earth’s Next Fifty Years,” will be covered in the Monday briefing. The full conference can be viewed here.

The G7 meeting opened today with Prime Minister Boris Johnson proving more and more to be a buffoon. Bojo, as he is known, called on the (formerly) most advanced nations of the G7 to unite for the destruction of the world. In his own words: “We’re building back better together. And building back greener. and building back fairer. And building back more equal. Maybe in a more gender neutral, a more feminine way.” In fact, a major focus of the summit is what the controllers of President Biden have labeled the “Clean Green Initiative.” The U.S. officials who gave a background briefing on the G7 Summit openly described it as an “alternative” to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Why an “alternative?” Because, they said, it would be “climate friendly,” unlike China’s BRI, which, in addition to building big carbon-generating infrastructure projects such as railroads, dams, ports and bridges, is building coal-fired power plants all over Africa.Recall that less than half of the people in Sub-Saharan Africa have access to electricity, and 90% of the continent’s electricity comes from coal-fired plants. Recall also that the former head of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, now the UN climate czar, told Africa last month that they must stop the development of their resources, especially coal, in exchange for “carbon credits,” and that “green police” will be the new colonial Governor-Generals in their countries, to enforce their non-development. The Clean Green Initiative is more than a plan to stop China’s transformation of Africa and other nations into modern industrial economies—it is outright genocidal, in keeping with the Royal Family’s Malthusian hatred of mankind. In fact, it is not surprising that the Royal Family is all over this summit in Cornwall, while also sponsoring parallel meetings in London with the leading mega-bank CEOs, who are the enforcers of the green genocide, committed to cutting credit to all those who refuse their de-carbonization dictates. On Sunday, the Biden’s will have tea with the bloody Queen in Windsor Castle. The LaRouche Organization announced today that 7,500 more copies of the pamphlet “The Great Leap Backward: LaRouche Crushes the ‘Green New Deal’ Fraud,” are being printed this weekend. Everyone is called on to get copies of the pamphlet to get out to friends and local officials. Recall also that the very same powers pushing for the Green New Deal have driven the U.S., the U.K. and the EU into military confrontations with both Russia and China, which has brought the world closer to nuclear war than any time since the peak of the Cold War—in fact, closer than that, since at that time the antagonists at least were talking to each other. The former U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock issued a public letter today, along with other members of the American Committee for U.S.-Russia Accord (ACURA), which states that the British intelligence instigation of the witch-hunt into supposed Russian interference in the 2016 election, although thoroughly discredited, “has now in turn given birth to two much more dangerous phenomena: an escalating militarism reminiscent of the darkest days of the Cold War; and a dangerous erosion of the decades-long bilateral arms control regime negotiated even during that Great Power standoff. These developments imperil not just the two principal players, but are a threat to global peace, prosperity, even survival.” Following the G7 summit, NATO will hold another summit on Monday, June 14, in which they intend to codify the intention for NATO to leave behind their role as a defensive organization of the North Atlantic nations, and to become, in the words of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, a “political-military” alliance, with a global scope of action, focused on countering the imagined “threats” from Russia and China. The UN has been relegated to the dustbin of history, in the imagination of the leaders of this military-industrial axis. Their imagination is deeply flawed. Already Russia, China and India have made very clear that they will neither shut down their own fossil fuels, nor allow the developing nations of Africa and Ibero-America to be forced to give up the hope for development in exchange for the chimera of “carbon credits.” Leading Africans and Ibero Americans have said the same, from South Africa to Nigeria and from Argentina to El Salvador, setting an example for others to have the same courage to act against the new Dark Age. These leaders are increasingly looking to The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute for the leadership which can unite this opposition into a positive force for the good—for LaRouche’s Four Laws and a New Bretton Woods. Two international Schiller Institute conferences this year, on March 20-21 and on May 8, have led the way, uniting leaders of Russia and China, scientists from the U.S., Europe and Africa, medical professionals from around the world, and a growing cadre of youth who wish to have a future. The next virtual Schiller Institute Conference, “For the Common Good of All People, Not Rules Benefitting the Few!” will be held on June 26-27. Plan to attend, and to recruit others to attend as well. The danger is great, but the potential for a new world order based on the advancement of the human spirit is equally on hand, if we choose to create it.

Economists and political leaders from around the world are meeting in Russia this week for the annual St. Petersburg Economic Forum. A leading topic of discussion in at least several of the many panels was the fact that the illegal use of unilateral sanctions by the US, the UK, and the EU has reached a point that several leading countries, and in particular Russia and China, are deep in discussions about breaking out of the US dollar-dominated international financial system. In a panel chaired by the Valdai Discussion Club, titled “The Risks Sanctions Pose to the Global FInancial System and International Business,” the introduction reads: “The transformation of the dollar into a weapon carries the threat of unforeseen shocks…. The intensity and indiscriminate nature with which sanctions are deployed suggests that a targeted political tool is now becoming all-encompassing.”Vladimir Kolychev, Russia’s Deputy Finance Minister, said that as a result of these criminal sanctions, “a new global financial system is coming into being. It won’t come overnight, but it is inevitable. The sanctioned countries will do it.” There is an ongoing withdrawal from the existing structures, he said, since it is not safe to use US dollars (Washington’s claim to have the right to impose sanctions on countries, businesses, and individuals, is based simply on the fact that nearly all global trade transactions pass through the US dollar system, even when the trade has nothing to do with the US). Russia’s trade was 80% in dollars as recently as 2019, Kolychev noted, but is now less than 50%. Reserves in Russia are now only 20% in US dollars. While the sanctions are reason enough for taking such emergency measures, a second looming disaster is that years and years of printing dollars to bail out financial bubbles in the trans-Atlantic banking system, without expanding the productive base, is threatening hyperinflation in the dollar zone. On May 31, China’s Global Times editorial began: “While it is uncertain whether the Biden administration’s helicopter money policies will spur a new round of economic growth, it is already clear that the spending spree will first mire the US economy in a bottomless pit of inflation.” Here is yet another reason to extricate national currencies from the dollar, to trade in national currencies, or, as some suggest, in new digital currencies. But is this wise? It can not be questioned that the dozens of sanctioned countries are justified in wishing to get out from under the deadly and illegal unilateral sanctions. But, should the world be broken up into separate trading zones, especially at a time when the US establishment and NATO are mobilizing for war against both Russia and China, for no reason except to keep the trillions of dollars flowing into the military-industrial complex and its Wall Street/City of London owners? Does further financial division not encourage this war party? Also, even if the majority of the world’s countries pulled out from the dominance of the dollar, and joined in great development projects through the Belt and Road Initiative, if the US, UK, and EU are left to disintegrate, this would only lead to global disintegration and war. Here is where the concept of the Coincidence of Opposites, from Nicholas of Cusa, and the Committee of that name launched by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders in 2020, addresses the necessary resolution of an apparently insoluble crisis. Neither the western economies nor the developing economies can accept the Green New Deal now being forced upon the world by the trans-Atlantic banking oligarchy, as it would destroy the industrial nations economies and literally depopulate the developing nations. Neither the Eastern nations nor the Western nations can withstand a 1929-style crash, let alone a hyperinflationary disaster like that of 1923 Germany. And certainly no sane person wants nuclear war. The solution, as difficult as it may seem in the current chaos, lies in addressing the common aims of mankind: joining nations together in a New Bretton Woods, using the proven method of Glass-Steagall bankruptcy reorganization to restore sound credit policies; use the uplifting and successful model of international cooperation in space exploration, and in realizing the short-term reachable goal of limitless energy through fusion power; foster educational systems which teach both one’s own history and culture, but also those of other cultures vastly different from one’s own. It is known as a Renaissance. We are all human, with creative powers, imago viva dei. We have a responsibility to the Creator to use those powers to further the human miracle. This will be the subject of the Schiller Institute Conference on June 26-27, “For the Common Good of All People, Not Rules Benefitting the Few.”
