“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.
The Carney Ball We invite you to the Official 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference Opening Banquet, or as we like to call it “The Carney Ball.” We all know that organic, plant-forward, locally sourced, fair market, homemade food is far better for the planet than the high emission, fossil-fueled, industrial, meat-heavy system that is driving climate change. But let us be frank; time is running out, half measures will not get us to the IPCC targets. As Hans Schellnhuber, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire has insisted, the only way to successfully reduce our global carbon footprint, is to reduce the total number of global carbon footprinters. With this in mind, each Carney Ball menu item has been specially selected and guaranteed to cut down our carbon footprint, by at least two soles.Can’t Make it to Glasgow? Our international team of chefs and staff (some of whom really threw themselves into the project) are making all the recipes available for free online at SavethePlanetServeMan.com in the hope that you and others will host your own climate-conscious dinner parties. With thousands, perhaps millions of Carney Balls worldwide, we can take a real bite, out of the real problem, using methods which are delicious, even if they are necessary.
The only possible outcome of the October 31-Nov 12 Glasgow 26 “Halloween” Climate Summit, will be the mutually- assured self-destruction of the nations of the transatlantic world, as well as others intimidated enough to be compliant with the Conference’s unattainable goals. Russia, China, India, and several other nations have already made known their intent to ignore many of the daft draft proposals. The antidote to this ghoulish outlook is contained in the book {There Are No Limits to Growth} written by Schiller Institute co-founder Lyndon LaRouche and published by the Club of Life. A panel will engages in a symposium-style discussion. Speakers include scientists and academicians Dr. Kelvin Kemm, Dr. Maria Assunção Arraújo, Prof. Jacob Goldsmith, as well as organizers Anastasia Battle, Kynan Thistlethwaite and others
In a very long and extraordinarily well-developed article of indictment, written Oct. 17, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald exposed the operations of the so-called “House Committee on the Jan. 6 Insurrection” as illegal, unconstitutional, and a return to the practices of the House Un-American Activities Committee of the 1950s and ’60s and its ilk in the Senate. If the people of a nation are made sufficiently afraid, Greenwald points his theme, they may allow their most basic rights to be torn up and approve it, believing the only victims are “enemies.” What was once the Red Scare has been reincarnated as the extreme-right scare; 9/11 terrorism has been replaced by “Jan. 6 terrorism.”The article, is entitled, “Civil Liberties Are Being Trampled by Exploiting ‘Insurrection’ Fears. Congress’s 1/6 Committee May Be the Worst Abuse Yet.” The most egregious of those abuses is the Jan. 6 Committee’s issuance of “third-party subpoenas” for all the private communications, going back up to a year before Jan. 6, of many Members of Congress, all organizers of the Jan. 5 and 6 rallies even if they simply applied for permits, and an unknown number of others. “Third-party” means the Committee wants Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and various e-mail and wireless providers to give it the records, without notifying any of the targets. In fact, it instructs the third parties, if they feel compelled to notify a target, to call the Committee’s lawyers and say so—the Committee can then withdraw that particular subpoena so as not to force an illegal action by the third party provider, and so as not to be liable to be sued for violation of First and Fourth Amendment rights. As Greenwald reports, this twist shows they know that what they’re doing is illegal. For any body of Congress to “investigate crime” by private citizens is in violation of the Constitution, and Greenwald proves that extensively from Supreme Court jurisprudence through the 19th and 20th centuries. The only exceptions—in particular, doing so in order to help formulate new legislation—are ruled out by Reps. Adam Schiff and Bennie Thompson and other members, who state their purpose simply as “to find out what happened.” That has been expressly forbidden to Congress by Supreme Court precedents, as a violation of powers which exclusively belong to the Executive and the Judiciary. The 1950s McCarthyite committees did it, and were ruled to have acted unconstitutionally. At the extreme, this Congressional conduct becomes Bills of Attainder—orders to arrest issued by a legislature—prohibited by name in the Constitution. Another exposé by Greenwald in the past week is related. Mark Zuckerberg is the latest “authoritarian menace” indicted daily in huge features in the Washington Post and New York Times, and lashed by Members of Congress who are demanding that Facebook be a third-party surveillance agency for the government against dangerous non-conformists. This has been accomplished by a triumphal world media tour of “whistleblower” Frances Haugen and her “Facebook Papers.” And who is paying for this world tour, publicity, media appearances, etc.? That would be the billionaire Pierre Omidyar, who has funded The Intercept from its inception; whom Greenwald exposes as now a major funder of something called “Whistleblowers Aid,” whose darling “whistleblower” is none other than Frances Haugen, “bizarrely led by anti-Trump lawyer and social media #Resistance star Mark Zaid, who has been one of the most vocal critics of actual whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, both of whose imprisonment he has long demanded,” (emphasis in original).
The ghouls have begun arriving in Glasgow for the witches’ coven scheduled to be launched on Halloween, hoping to convince the world to ignore the collapsing economies and the hyperinflation in energy, food, housing and more, in order to “save the planet.” The streets of Glasgow are flooded from a rainstorm, with roads closed, cars abandoned, and the trains not running. A second “yellow weather warning” was released for a new storm to hit the area on Saturday, Nov. 30. As in New York, when residential areas were flooded (and people died) after Hurricane Ida roared through in September, the flooding is not due to nature, but to the lack of adequate infrastructure. But of course the COP26 folk will tell you it was caused by Global Warming, although some may be privately fearing it is a “sign” of God’s displeasure at their Satanic planning for global genocide.The real signs, however, are coming from nations across the globe, telling the royals and billionaires behind COP26 that their intentions have been exposed by the real world impact of their Green “Reset.” Russia, China and India have made clear that they are expanding, not contracting, the use of coal and other fossil fuels, to provide the energy needed for the development and livelihood of their citizens. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni spoke for all of Africa when he wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Oct. 24 titled “Solar and Wind Force Poverty on Africa”: “Africa can’t sacrifice its future prosperity for Western climate goals.” The Schiller Institute has issued a statement, which will be circulated internationally in several languages, titled “Do You Want to Avoid Freezing on Christmas and Starving in the Spring? Stop the Great Gas Shock Swindle.” It states that the hyperinflated gas prices have been artificially created by the same City of London and Wall Street financial interests that orchestrated the “oil shock” in 1973. While trying to blame the inflation on the “recovery,” or on Russia, the truth is that “their policy of financial speculation, the Green climate swindle, and hyperinflationary money printing” have manufactured the crisis, the statement reports. It calls for an international mobilization with five demands: license Nord Stream 2; exclude financial traders from energy and food markets; restore Glass-Steagall; replace speculative “spot markets” with long-term contracts among nations; and bring together the major powers for a New Bretton Woods to replace the broken monetary system with a creditary system for global reconstruction.
Britain’s Daily Express tabloid reports that COP26’s President Alok Sharma is very anxious about getting all countries, especially developing countries belonging to the G20, to agree to the 1.5° Celsius target which is a goal of COP26, “We have to get that,” Sharma says. But the problem is that there are 24 developing nations, among them China, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Philippines and Malaysia, grouped in the Like-Minded Developing Countries (LMDC), that aren’t playing ball and don’t intend to be squeezed into an anti-development trap in the way that the depopulation fanatics are demanding. These nations for the most part don’t have well thought-out programmatic alternatives, but they have made clear what they don’t want.In a meeting last week, the ministers of the LMDC issued a strong statement criticizing rich countries for insisting on the need for a universal goal of net-zero by 2050. “This new ‘goal’ which is being advanced runs counter to the Paris Agreement and is anti-equity and against climate justice,” the Oct. 18 statement read. The LMDC argument is that they shouldn’t be forced into the same timeline as industrialized nations for cutting emissions, since they weren’t the ones that contributed to historic emissions—and may want to use fossil fuels for their own economic development just as wealthier nations have done. The green, Seattle-based media organization Grist points out that developed countries have delayed taking action for more than a decade in cutting their own emissions but now are demanding that the whole world commit to net zero. Sharma’s call to the G20 countries, some of which belong to the LMDC, to take action now and set a net-zero target, didn’t get the response he wanted. Instead they proposed that the rich countries first get on a fast track, and fully decarbonize by the end of this decade, and then “leave the remaining atmospheric space” for carbon emissions to the developing world. This is where the money issue comes in. According to Eddy Perez, international diplomacy manager of Climate Action Network Canada, the LMDC are issuing a clear call for the U.K. to ensure that negotiations are fair. “It can’t just be about mitigation pledges,” Perez remarks. “Keeping 1.5° C within reach requires urgently scaling up adaptation support and mobilizing trillions of dollars.” There is much criticism of the U.S. for failing to bring to Glasgow the climate change package that Joe Biden had promised, and demands that these richer nations have to both cut emissions and fork over the trillions of dollars needed by developing nations. Who’s going to buy that? This follows statements in the recent weeks by Russia, China and India that they are expanding, not contracting, the use of coal and other fossil fuels, to provide the energy needed for the development and livelihood of their citizens. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni spoke for all of Africa, when he wrote, in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Oct. 24, headlined, “Solar and Wind Force Poverty on Africa“: “Africa can’t sacrifice its future prosperity for Western climate goals.” The ghouls and gremlins in London are not happy.
Friday Questions: On the eve of the FLOP26 genocide conference opening in Glasgow, many of you are asking how we can mobilize a population which has submitted to the narratives designed by Tavistock brainwashers to make people cynical and depressed. Two answers: First -- not everyone is submitting, there is deep concern and anger about corruption, inflation, austerity, endless wars, etc. Find those not beaten down, and introduce them to the solutions developed by The LaRouche Organization. Second -- use truth, irony, empathy and love to reach the minds and souls of those paralyzed by fear and impotence. The crash of the system is here, as more and more are realizing. Now is not the time to wallow, or look for a safe zone -- sign up for the Nov. 13-4 Schiller Institute conference to find out more.
In the late 1990s Lyndon LaRouche drew a picture of the coming death of the American and European productive economies in the crash he saw coming. LaRouche called his instructive graphic “The Triple Curve—a typical collapse function.”The Triple Curve shows the case in which productive economic activity—industry, infrastructure building, agriculture, mining, construction—is declining at a worsening pace; the total volume of debt burdening the economy is growing at an increasing pace; and the money supply is also growing at an increasing pace to keep the debt liquid. That nation or region will go into physical-economic collapse unless financial reorganization policies are forcefully introduced and quickly backed by credit for economic development. And when the money supply is artificially increased more rapidly even than the debt itself—at that “crossover point” a financial crash is looming. In mid-2007 LaRouche publicly announced that that crash was unstoppable except by a complete reversal of financial and economic policy, and it came in late 2008. Observe the path of inflation in commodities since then. Take a representative sample of 20 major international commodities: oil, coal, natural gas in Europe, natural gas in the United States; soft red wheat, hard red wheat, rice, beef, chicken, shrimp; lumber, rock phosphate, rubber, aluminum, tin, lead, nickel, copper, zinc, iron ore. During the five-year period from July 2000 to July 2005, almost all these commodities rose in price by between 50% and 100% on the way into the 2007-08 crash. The crash itself deflated the great majority of them, along with the prices of financial assets (stocks, bonds, other securities, derivatives), which collapsed. For a decade, the major central banks intervened on a scale never seen before that time, with tens of trillions of dollars to “support” financial assets, vowing that by doing this, they would also restore inflation and economic growth. The value of financial assets of all kinds grew steadily, during some of that time explosively, and global billionaires sprouted like mushrooms after a storm. But from July 2010 to July 2019, the prices of all of the commodities above (with the sole exception of beef) declined, by anywhere from a few percent to 70%. But at the August 2019 central bankers conference in Wyoming, Mark Carney and a gang of central bankers and executives at BlackRock, Inc. determined to push “regime change” and take central bank control over government spending and private sector investment flows in order to launch a dramatic shift into “green finance,” sometimes called the Great Reset. QE5 started on Oct. 4, 2019. The COVID pandemic then cut off production across the world. The Federal Reserve and ECB in March 2020 launched a completely unprecedented pace of QE of more than $250 billion/month between them. The so-called “Green New Deal” was driven forward, which—it is now very clear—reduced productivity, cut production of all fossil fuels, and spread energy chaos. In a “Fed-Treasury partnership” brokered by BlackRock, Inc. the U.S. Treasury borrowed $5 trillion in “COVID relief” funds in a year through the CARES Act and the American Rescue Act, to drive private sector spending. “Trillions were shifted” toward the new green finance bubble. The worldwide collapse of production and productivity, since very early in 2020, continues: Look at the American productive economy: Since 2019 it has shrunk by 500,000 productive jobs, 5.5 million overall jobs, and lost 3% of industrial production. The American workforce itself has shrunk by 5 million since 2019. With that going on, the $14 trillion Fed-plus-Treasury-plus-European Central Bank money-printing policy meant that the Triple Curve collapse function would now end in a combination of an economic breakdown and an explosion of inflation. And in fact, in just the two years between July 2019 and July 2021, all 20 of the above commodities’ prices rapidly inflated: the agricultural commodities by 20-25%; the rest by far more, up to 250% in two years. Most of these inflated in the range of 20-50% in those two years. In the energy commodities, the inflation has accelerated further from July until this present end of October. This is the hyperinflationary process described by LaRouche’s ’Triple Curve" collapse function. During that earlier period LaRouche also named the actions which must be taken to stop such a spiral and start recovery. Long-term, state-to-state contracts for energy commodities, freezing out speculators in “paper gas,” “paper oil,” etc. What LaRouche insisted on in 2001, when oil first rose above $100/barrel, Russian President Putin demands now for natural gas supplies. Glass-Steagall reorganization of banking, breaking up megabanks speculating with deposits. “Hamiltonian” national banks in every nation, to participate in the credit for projects of new infrastructure, as pioneered anew by China with the Belt and Road Initiative. Funding of development with the most advanced energy-dense technologies, and of crash programs in fusion energy development and space exploration. Rapid increase of food production, to double it worldwide, and building of new health systems—obviously, the focus immediately falls on Afghanistan, Haiti, and other nations where economic life has collapsed. This outlook is the subject of the Schiller Institute’s Nov. 13-14 international conference, “Mankind Must Be the Immortal Species,” for which registration is here.
This week, Gerry Rose of EIR Magazine discussed the remarkable discovery of what can only be described as the late period of Shakespeare's creative life, the principles of which lay the basis for the later American Republic and its anti-oligarchical education system. This topic has never been developed before in this manner.
On February 23, 1982, the inside-the-Beltway law firm of Asher and Schwartz fired off a threatening letter to Lyndon LaRouche on behalf of their client, the Club of Rome and its President, Aurelio Peccei, accusing LaRouche and his associates of “defamation,” “harassment,” “intentional infliction of injury,” and other spurious charges, because LaRouche was campaigning publicly and forcefully against the Club of Rome’s Malthusian policies, which LaRouche described—accurately—as “100 times worse than Hitler.”In less than 24 hours, LaRouche shot back his extended reply, which famously included the following statement of fact: “I affirm here and now, that according to the standards of international law set forth by U.S. Justice Robert Jackson for the Nuremberg War Crimes Proceedings, the Club of Rome is an outlaw association, an international conspiracy whose principals ‘know or should have known’ that its advocacies would represent in practice of nations genocide on a scale as much as one hundred times greater than the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime.” Today, nearly 40 years later, we stand on the eve of the international COP26 conference, where the direct heirs of those Club of Rome Malthusians are intent on carrying out that very mission of global depopulation, “by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary,” as Lord Bertrand Russell so cynically put it in his 1923 Prospects of Industrial Civilization. Now, the trans-Atlantic financial Establishment that spawned the Club of Rome and its modern reincarnations, is reeling from the breakdown crisis of its financial system, the stunning defeat of their “forever wars” in Afghanistan, the rise of a global alternative to their bankrupt system in the form of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and restive populations in many countries that are desperate for substantive change. The response of that desperate Establishment to those countries and people resisting their policies can be characterized simply as the oligarchical battle cry: “Après nous, le déluge.” If—like India, Russia and many Americans—you resist the COP26 program of de-carbonization and deindustrialization, we will use our eco-terrorists to strike at pipelines and industrial infrastructure. If—like Afghanistan—you expel the U.S. and NATO from your country, we will either starve you into submission by freezing your funds and cutting off all finances, or we will leave nothing but scorched earth with tens of millions dead from starvation and disease, just as we are also doing in Haiti. If—like Russia—you warn that Ukraine joining NATO is a red line you cannot accept, we will insist on doing just that and play a nuclear chicken game with you. We will do the same with China over the issue of Taiwan. It is to address this unprecedented crisis that Helga Zepp-LaRouche of the Schiller Institute and Guus Berkhout of the Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL) group have issued a joint “Wake-Up Call,” to rally forces around the world to defeat the Malthusian onslaught. As Zepp-LaRouche reported in her weekly international webcast today, that call “begins by stating that we are in an absolute breakdown crisis, a civilizational collapse crisis, with an acute war danger, an acute hyperinflationary blow-out of the system clearly coming, an incredible genocide in Afghanistan and Haiti, and that one has to look at this whole picture as a totality in order to come to the right conclusion. And then we confront that with the most important question, and that is the matter underlying all of these policies vs. what our policy should be, and that is the image of man.” That “Wake-Up Call,” which is now circulating internationally and is gathering many signatures, presents that concept of man: “1. Human life is inviolable. Man is the only species endowed with creative reason, which distinguishes him from all other living beings. This creative capability enables him to continually discover new principles of the physical universe, which is called scientific progress. The fact that the human mind, through an immaterial idea, is able to discover these principles, which then have an effect in the material universe in the form of technological progress, proves that there is a correspondence between the lawfulness of the human mind and the laws of the physical universe. “2. Just as the spatial expanse and anti-entropic evolution of the universe are infinite, so is the intellectual and moral perfectibility of the human mind. Therefore, every additional human being is a new source for further development of the universe and for the solution of problems on Earth, such as overcoming poverty, disease, underdevelopment, and violence. Taking care of each other is key in this ongoing development. It is the combination of creativity and empathy that transcends mere day-to-day exigencies. “3. Scientific and technological progress has a positive effect in that, when applied to the production process, it increases the productivity of the labor force and of industrial and agricultural capacities, which in turn leads to rising living standards and a longer life expectancy for more and more people. A prosperous physical economy is the precondition for the positive development of the common good, providing not only the elites, but all people with quality food, clean water, affordable and modern health care, quality education, modern communications and, above all, cheap and sufficient energy with high energy flux densities.”
As the LaRouche movement has warned for years, energy price hikes are not based on lack of product, but manipulation of markets by traders, working with geopoliticians in government and financial institutions -- such as the infamous Henry Kissinger, coordinator of the 1973 Great Oil Hoax, which began the era of the petro-dollar. The Glasgow COP26 summit is not about stopping "global warming", but convincing you to accept the idea that the era of plenty is over, and you should get used to shortages, high prices, unavailability of products, and a lower standard of living and early death. Join with us to end the fraud of the idea of "limits to growth". Read the Schiller Institute "A Wake-Up Call: The Danger for Mankind Is Not the Climate, but Toleration of a Devious Policy that Uses Climate To Destroy Us!"
As the COP 26 “strange beast, its hour come at last, slouches toward Glasgow,” the news has suddenly arrived: “The Queen will not attend the climate change summit.” Will Prince Andrew, out of a sense of imperial duty to the Crown and empire, emerge from hiding and, in the spirit of the season, go to Glascow dressed as his mother? Though the Queen has now cancelled going to the Glasgow ghoul-fest, the business of depopulation must proceed. So perhaps Andrew will oblige, impersonating “Psycho’s” Norman Bates (and Norman’s mother,) inadvertently bringing an unwelcome guest, psychological truth, to the doomed Glasgow masquerade.In the real world, Afghanistan stands “at the precipice” of destruction by famine at the hands of a vindictive sanctions “victors policy.” A Haitian publication, Haiti Libre, runs the headline: “Deprived of Fuel by Gangs—The Country at the Gates of Hell.” Uganda’s 35-year president, Yoweri Museveni(!) in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, says: “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.” But Swedish eco-freaks know far better than Ugandans, or nuclear power-advocating Bolivians, that the real enemy is technological progress, and that “technological progress is racism.” Technological progress is what the notorious Bertrand Russell so delicately referred to, in his 1924 book Icarus, as “white science.” “White Skin, Black Fuel, on the Danger of Fossil Fascism,” a May 2021 book compiled by the “Zetkin Collective” featuring Andreas Malm, professor of ecology at Lund University, is a triple-retread apology for terrorism “to save the planet from technology.” Malm/“White Skin, Black Fuel,” is an “Eminem,” white rapper-style knock-off of Franz Fanon and his 1961 book “Black Skin, White Masks.” Malm writes: “The role of the radical activist fringe is to instill in those who do not want to engage in active activism the courage to take to the streets and make their voices heard. To apply the lesson of Black Lives Matter to the climate movement is to seek modes of action that are equivalent to destroying the police station in Minneapolis or toppling statues. I’m not advocating violence against people, but I do think that property destruction has played a role in virtually every social movement that has achieved its goal.” This is a crude, less literate restatement of the argument in the opening chapter “Concerning Violence” of Fanon’s 1961 The Wretched of the Earth, itself an updated restatement of Georges Sorel’s 1908 Reflections On Violence. This is luddism in the cyber age, like “Unabomber,” but complete with the cyber-Dionysian world of addictive video-games and their participants. This can all be monitored in real time through, for example, Amazon’s recently-announced special Cloud arrangement with GCHQ, MI5, and MI6, a form of human data-mining for future deployment purposes. The new, social-media-driven environmental politics, with its self-appointed “guardians of the Earth,” will feel justified to take any recourse and use any means necessary, including violence. They will be personally anointed with the “responsibility to protect the earth,” augmented through drug use, along the lines of the old Eleusinian “mystery cults” of Greece. This Dionysian eco-horde, defining the destruction of civilization, and ultimately, humanity, as “a necessary sacrifice for the survival of the planet,” is to, through self-destruction, bring about the New Age, the “transvaluation of all values.” This “Great Game” is to be fought in “the Empire of the Mind,” or so the rather limited imaginations of the decadent elites of the delusional trans-Atlantic world prefer to believe. Both China and Russia display significant strategic restraint. The entries below document this. China, while quite explicit about the flaws in the Afghanistan political process, has insisted that nations must work with the Taliban authorities in aiding the transition to a more advanced form of government, or be held accountable for a willful genocide against that population over the next months. Russia, through slowly advancing talks with the United States on advanced strategic and tactical weapons systems; with Ukraine on natural gas and oil; and with a firm rebuke of the dangerously provocative statements of the outgoing German defense minister and others in NATO, keeps sanity “on the table.” The Indo-Pacific “Orcus” naval adventure, actually a pathetic revisioning of the British imperial “East of Suez” outlook abandoned in 1968, is already underwater, in a different way than it intended. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, in attempting to “bring Taiwan into the UN,” appears to believe, in defiance of the physical reality of the Covid pandemic, trans-Atlantic industrial and manufacturing collapse, and hyperinflation, and the counterposed physical economic achievements of China and its Belt and Road initiative, that he—or anyone—can turn back the clock to the “bad old days” prior to 1972, when the United States refused to recognize “Red China.” “Just as the spatial expanse and anti-entropic evolution of the universe are infinite, so is the intellectual and moral perfectibility of the human mind. Therefore, every additional human being is a new source for further development of the universe and for the solution of problems on Earth, such as overcoming poverty, disease, underdevelopment, and violence.” This is the efficient antidote to the Malthusian outlook of Malm, Blinken, and the British royals. “Taking care of each other is key in this ongoing development. It is the combination of creativity and empathy that transcends mere day-to-day exigencies. Scientific and technological progress has a positive effect in that, when applied to the production process, it increases the productivity of the labor force and of industrial and agricultural capacities, which in turn leads to rising living standards and a longer life expectancy for more and more people.” These conceptions, contained in The Schiller Institute/Clintel Wake Up Call" are the manifesto of an Anti-Malthusian Resistance statement, manifest in the Schiller Institute’s Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites, that has significantly advanced through various actions in the past days. Most of all, this includes the Keynote given this past Saturday, “The Coming Fall of the House of Gaia,” as part of the educational process for youth of the past weekend led by its founder, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, which should be studied by all, before the Halloween Summit.
Is it really a matter of her fragile health, or has the Queen decided to skip the march of death, disguised as a "climate summit", to save face? With Boris Johnson worried that it will be VERY, VERY tough to get the desired results -- i.e., to arm twist nations to surrender their sovereignty and development goals to achieve "carbon net zero" -- eco-terrorists are preparing to launch a wave of destruction if these goals are not met, under the slogan of defeating "fossil fascism," declaring the development of fossil fuel technology as "steeped in racism"! Meanwhile, the resurrection of British spook Christopher Steele continues, with an appearance on {Sky-TV}, during which he announced he wishes that Daniel Craig, of James Bond movie fame, portray him in a bio-film!
With the COP26 conference headed toward a likely disaster, the oligarchs behind it are escalating their drive to impose a global dictatorship on all fronts. In her weekly dialogue today, Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche covered the need to urgently address the catastrophic humanitarian crisis confronting Afghanistan, Haiti and other nations targeted for deadly sanctions by the same global oligarchy behind the COP26 austerity plan, to allegedly address a non-existent climate crisis. She also warned about the growing bellicosity from the U.S. and NATO against Russia and China; and the effects of the hyperinflation in energy, food and other necessities, resulting from their policies, especially due to the flood of liquidity unleashed by central banks, and the shut-down of investment into the physical economy. She concluded by reviewing the importance of the Wake-Up Call she issued in collaboration with CLINTEL, an organization of real climate scientists, and urged viewers to join us in circulating it.
There is a reason why those in the Military Industrial Complex are called "War Hawks" -- because war is their ultimate solution to crises. As they are facing a series of existential crises, they are ramping up the rhetoric of war. Listen to the words of Biden's choice for Ambassador to China, or the German Defense Minister's call to be prepared to use nuclear weapons against Russia! Consider the possibility that the COP26 ``climate" conference becomes the Flop26, and serves as an excuse for launching new waves of eco-terrorism.
“The world is getting more dangerous by the day,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated in discussion with associates today. “If people … do not mobilize and intervene, this is on a very bad course.” This danger can be clearly seen in the unhinged provocations by the United States against China and Russia—the two other biggest nuclear powers in the world—over the recent days. Escalations against China, in particular, are rapidly approaching a red line, with moves by the U.S. State Department to bring Taiwan into the UN, eliciting harsh denunciations from the Chinese side against the U.S. attempt to “humiliate itself” by violating UN Resolution 2758 and the one-China principle. “The West is getting detached from cause and effect, and this is very, very dangerous. We have to wake people up. If things continue for long on this course, it is only a matter of time until they go completely out of control,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche said.The October 11 statement issued by Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche and CLINTEL initiator and co-founder Guus Berkhout, “A Wake-Up Call: The Danger for Mankind Is Not the Climate, but Toleration of a Devious Policy that Uses Climate To Destroy Us!” states the situation quite clearly: “All the symptoms of a collapsing system are right before our eyes, if we care to see them: an economic system in which the balance between cost and benefit is totally out of balance, an accelerating hyperinflation that devours our earnings, a good healthcare system that only the rich can afford, an education system that teaches neither excellence nor moral values, an out-of-control woke culture that turns people against each other, a disastrous geopolitical confrontation policy against alleged rivals—and the list could go on and on! “All these manifestations of crisis have a common cause: We in the West are living under the dictatorship of a financial oligarchy, for which the common good is nonexistent, and whose sole interest is to maximize its own privileges.” It is that financial oligarchy, along with the British Royal Family, which has organized its Halloween séance in Glasgow, COP26, a self-proclaimed Malthusian “last chance” to extract commitments of suicide—economic devolution—from nations of the world. The witches of Glasgow, however, can be defeated—the majority of nations are refusing to go along with the collective suicide pact of non-development, as seen in China’s firm commitment to poverty elimination in its own nation and in partnership with underdeveloped nations around the world through largescale physical economic growth—infrastructure, industry, and scientific capabilities. Helga LaRouche emphasized today that when you’re in such an ocean of insanity, you have to go back to the fundamentals, to the one universal value remaining: the sacredness of each human life. For this reason, the upcoming Schiller Institute conference on November 13—14 (the day after the close of COP26) can make a decisive intervention into a wide open global strategic situation to derail the tragic trajectory humanity may be on with the clear and available solutions. Use the Schiller Institute/CLINTEL “Wake Up Call” and the conference invitation mobilize thousands around the world to pull civilization back from the brink and to put politics back on the basis of natural science and classical culture. Your life may depend on it.
by: Harley SchlangerOct. 22 -- Since Bill Clinton's election as President in 1992, he and his four immediate successors all campaigned on the need to upgrade and modernize American infrastructure, and each one made a show of trying to pass a bill to do it. Yet a quick overview of the dilapidated state of infrastructure in the U.S. today makes it painfully obvious that each failed to reverse the ongoing decline of the basic platforms of infrastructure serving the economy. Worse, the collapse in most areas has been proceeding at an accelerating rate.This is due not just to the failure of the Presidents, but the role of special interests controlling the Congress -- especially in banking, finance, insurance and real estate, which demand credit directed for speculative investments to bail them out, rather than for physical production -- and the abysmal level of economic discourse throughout the society. The passage by both the House and Senate of President Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in August, with a $1 trillion price tag, has provoked much discussion, but will do nothing to reverse the collapse, while its Green initiatives actually will speed up the decline of the U.S. as a manufacturing and agricultural power. Biden apologists have been insisting that, when taken together with his effort to pass a separate $3.5 trillion spending bill as a companion bill, it is the most significant infrastructure overhaul since Franklin Roosevelt's (FDR) New Deal pulled the U.S. out of the Great Depression after 1933. The details tell a different story. First, the much-hyped $1 trillion infrastructure plan only adds $550 billion to what had already been approved. Second, the total is to be parceled out over the next ten years! Third, the companion bill, which includes "energy" spending almost entirely allocated for "green" policies, is in the process of being whittled down, to appease fiscal hawks in both parties, so it can be passed before the Glasgow COP26 summit, to show the Biden administration's commitment to combating climate change. Biden personally lobbied Congressmen on October 21, pleading with them to pass the green spending bill, insisting that he needs this to make a positive show in Glasgow. "The prestige of the United States is on line," he said. "I need this to represent the U.S. overseas."
On the eve of the globalist Halloween prank called COP26 -- which hopefully will become Flop26 -- Russian President Putin delivered a powerful speech lamenting the failure of nations to use the opportunity of the collapse of the Soviet Union to create a safer world. While defending "human life" and the "family" as "absolute values", and insisting on "sovereignty" as a necessary condition for relations between nation states, he critiques the arrogance of those pushing a unipolar world, and dissects the cultural degradation being imposed on the West by them -- including a sharp criticism of "cancel culture", and the approach to race and gender dominating policy discussion in the West. (Since the western media are not covering Putin's intervention, I am posting a summary of his critique of "wokeness" from our website: Putin: Human Life Over Failed Ideology and Woke ‘Phantasmagoria’ - The LaRouche Organization (nationbuilder.com).)
The chances for Joe Biden’s administration to legislate a Green New Deal and take it to the Hallowe’en Summit of COP26 are now essentially zero, as even the Democrats’ in Congress have resisted—or generated resistance by their climate extremism, as the case may be. So Biden has turned, again, to executive orders and regulations, this time to try to show them off in Glasgow. This is because the Clean Energy Performance Program, core of Biden’s Green New Deal, appears to be firmly opposed by at least Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). That would have required all utilities generating/selling electricity, to increase their share of “renewable,” or interruptible power by at least 4% every year. It would make adding any more reliable form of baseline power a very difficult proposition for almost any utility.Following the Oct. 15 all-of-government executive order in the form of a “Fact Sheet” from the White House, on Oct. 21 the Financial Services Oversight Council issued a report to its member regulators telling them to crack down on bank investments and security issuances connected to fossil fuel exploration and power generation. The FSOC report/directive was issued on the same day that the mighty climate warrior of the banking world, Mark Carney, attempted, in an interview with CNBC, to definitively declare trillions of dollars of oil, coal and gas assets “stranded”—barred from exploitation—around the world. Said Carney: "We have … too many hydrocarbons, enormous stranded assets, whether it’s in coal, three-quarters of coal, half of gas, roughly the same of oil, we have too many fossil fuels. [emphasis added] The FSOC is not an advisory body. Chaired by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, it is the council created by the Dodd-Frank Act of the 15 major U.S. financial, securities, and insurance regulators—the Treasury, the Office of Controller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, CFTC, SEC, etc. Its “report,” and this is its first report in 12 years’ existence, is actually a directive by the Treasury to the regulators, which will lead to regulations being issued to banks and other financial firms. MarketWatch quoted one enthusiastic financial Greenie: “To unlock that Dodd-Frank power, we need to establish climate as a systemic risk. On this the FSOC was unequivocal — it is a threat to the financial system and all agencies in the FSOC, including the Fed, agreed. That unlocks regulatory power. That’s a big deal.” And MarketWatch itself overstated Biden’s case: “At minimum, a closer alliance presented in the report for diagnosing and reporting climate-change risk for financial markets may help President Biden’s standing at the pivotal UN climate-change talks (COP26) that kick off in Glasgow in a little more than a week.” But tremendous damage could be done. Consider: The first regulation expected, imminently, is an SEC rule requiring that companies included their “climate risk exposure” in their earnings reports. These reports, usually issued quarterly, have become crucial to companies, and if they have to tell investors that their quarterly results are achieved by taking on media-hated “environmental risk,” they believe their stocks and bonds will be shellacked—it’s already happened to the major oil companies. This is only one indication of the gouging of carbon-related investment these 15 regulators can do under Treasury orders.
Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche and her co-thinkers are mobilizing true leaders on every continent—those who thirst for the knowledge of universal principle, such as the doctors, the classical artists, the scientists, the statesmen, and perhaps most importantly, the YOUTH—to inaugurate an Age of Reason, by the successful transformation of Afghanistan, and of Haiti. The people of Afghanistan and Haiti, and of so many nations across the world, face famine, disease, war—but worse, they face the “depraved indifference” of the governments and people of the United States, European countries, and many others, who ignore known solutions to vicious suffering and death, who ignore the success of China in lifting 850 million people out of extreme poverty, who ignore the fifty-year economic forecasting record of the late American economist and statesman, Lyndon H. LaRouche. Together, let us raise up a force of impassioned people, dedicated to righting these wrongs once and for all, so that we may say, truly, “Never again!”
The Glasgow COP26 Summit, starting Halloween, needs a pre-conference exorcism. Will the 25,000 expected attendees be exposed to the most deadly disease on the planet—the Prince Phillip virus? In a 2009 Guardian article, Phillip said: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.” Phillip, however was only one of a pool of retroviruses convinced of their superiority over human beings.According to author Donald Gibson:"In 1970 a book written by the English conservation leader, Max Nicholson, was published; it had a rather assertive title--{The Environmental Revolution: A Guide For The New Masters of the World}. Nicholson was involved in promoting the Countryside Conference in England. This coincided with America's first Earth Day, the White House Conference on Natural Beauty, and the formation of the Population Commission led by John D. Rockefeller III.....1970 was also declared European Conservation Year..... In 1970, Prince Phillip (England), Prince Bernhard (Netherlands) and other prominent individuals like Joseph Slater of the Aspen Institute and Aurelio Peccei of the Olivetti Company (later the Club of Rome) were out promoting the revolution." The Halloween Summit of the “ghouls gone wild” is encountering more and more resistance from the world’s sane nations, more and more trouble in bringing off the zombie green death jamboree’s agenda. That’s good news, but the unravelling of the financial and physical economy is happening so fast, as a result of the tight grasp of the trans-Atlantic financial system’s dead hand on the brain of the living, that we face the question: What do we humans think and do? How do we meet emergency needs anywhere, and re-create nations and economies? The solution is take the LaRouche World Land Bridge to the streets and classrooms of the United States, reviving the American System of physical economy. Speakers to be announced.
The multiple crises we face, from the economic breakdown to the death toll and dangers from geopolitics, require collaboration among peoples and nations on solutions; in particular, on ending toleration of “climate emergency,” green destruction. On Oct. 6, the call for this went out as a joint statement from the respective leaders of the European-based CLINTEL, and the Schiller Institute, 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!” As co-author Helga Zepp LaRouche, Schiller Institute President, stressed yesterday, we want people to endorse, confer and initiate action, in order to get nations to cooperate on dealing with the current, acute emergencies.The multiple crises we face, from the economic breakdown to the death toll and dangers from geopolitics, require collaboration among peoples and nations on solutions; in particular, on ending toleration of “climate emergency,” green destruction.

President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the annual meeting of the Valdai Club in Sochi on Oct. 21, presented a stark picture of the strategic and cultural degeneracy of the Western nations, while pointing to the opportunity which must not be missed, for mankind to come together behind the most fundamental value that unites mankind—life itself. While this may sound simplistic, it is a fact that the most powerful interests in the Western world, centered around the “Green Finance” fanatics on Wall Street and in the City of London, are hell-bent on a Malthusian assault on the population of the world, advanced and developing sector nations alike. The COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, scheduled for Glasgow from Oct. 31-Nov. 12, under the theme “The Climate Has No Borders,” is intended to be the culmination of the 30-year process by the British Royal Family and the billionaires club known as the World Economic Forum to impose on every nation on Earth their genocidal “decarbonization” dictates, destroying the energy and infrastructure needed for the support of the human race, driving the world back to a pre-industrial time in history, which could sustain fewer than 1 billion people, as it did then.Fortunately for humanity, a growing number of nations and national leaders are announcing that they intend to have nothing to do with the green fascist Halloween Party in Scotland. One after another, nations are announcing that they will not only refuse to pledge an end to fossil fuels, but on the contrary will expand their mining of coal and oil to generate the energy they need to support their populations. Even Joe Biden and his crazy Climate Czar John Kerry, are running up against reality, as the destructive impact of the Green New Deal has already driven a massive inflationary spiral, not only in energy, but in nearly every commodity, a spiral which threatens to explode into a hyperinflationary destruction of currencies and a collapse of the global productive process. Biden’s Democratic Party is unable to convince even its own members of Congress to pass the Green New Deal dictates to stop fossil fuels and impose a carbon tax. Biden is crying that he will be going to Glasgow empty-handed. Putin, in his Valdai Club speech, reflected The LaRouche Organization mobilization of an international anti-Malthusian resistance against this insanity. He defended the existence of the nation-state against globalization and the “regime change” wars of the past decades: “Only sovereign states can effectively respond to the challenges of the times and the demands of the citizens. Accordingly, any effective international order should take into account the interests and capabilities of the state and proceed on that basis, and not try to prove that they should not exist. Furthermore, it is impossible to impose anything on anyone, be it the principles underlying the sociopolitical structure or values that someone, for their own reasons, has called universal. After all, it is clear that when a real crisis strikes, there is only one universal value left, and that is human life, which each state decides for itself how best to protect based on its abilities, culture and traditions…. The trick is that of course there is a lot of diversity and every nation around the world is different. Still, something unites all people. After all, we are all people, and we all want to live. Life is of absolute value.” He noted, as Lyndon LaRouche also did many times over the years, that the financial oligarchs that believed they had won the Cold War, “thought they had climbed Mount Olympus,” but “soon discovered that the ground was falling away underneath even there…. The socio-economic problems facing humankind have worsened to the point where, in the past, they would trigger worldwide shocks, such as world wars or bloody social cataclysms. Everyone is saying that the current model of capitalism which underlies the social structure in the overwhelming majority of countries, has run its course and no longer offers a solution to a host of increasingly tangled differences…. Today, we are facing systemic changes in all directions.” He warned the Western nations against the “woke” hysteria, “when great authors of the past—such as Shakespeare—are no longer taught in schools and universities…. The classics are considered backward for their failure to understand the importance of the questions of race and gender. Countering manifestations of racism is a necessary and noble thing, but in the new cancel culture it is being turned into reverse discrimination, that is, racism in reverse. The obsessive emphasis on the theme of race further divides people…. Not to mention the simply monstrous things, such as when children today from a young age are taught that a boy can easily become a girl and vice-versa, factually imposing on them an alleged choice, removing the parents from this process and forcing a child to make a decision that could break his/her life.” Yet the Western elite can think of nothing but global war. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, speaking at a NATO Defense Ministers meeting on Oct. 21, announced a “new overarching plan to defend our Alliance in crisis and conflict,” because, he asserted, “the whole global balance of power is shifting because of the rise of China.” In Washington, the Biden Administration has appointed Nicholas Burns—a leading Anglo-American war hawk who as U.S. Ambassador to NATO led the West into the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq—to be the new U.S. Ambassador to China. In his confirmation hearing in the Senate Oct. 20, he retailed all the lies thrown at China, even the absurd claim of “genocide” in Xinjiang, and the laughable assertion that China has “very few friends.” Naming this man as Ambassador to China gives the lie to President Biden’s claim in a Thursday night Town Meeting on CNN that “I don’t want a Cold War with China.” Equally dangerous, the White House released a “Roadmap To Build an Economy Resilient to Climate Change Impacts” on Oct. 15. The document declares an “all of government” offensive to enforce green fascist policies, including that the $12 trillion in retirement savings and pensions across the country will henceforth be “protected” from “financial climate risk”—by enforcing investment managers to divest from fossil fuels and divert these trillions into the green bubble in wasteful and undependable windmills and solar panels. Most outrageous is the claim that the current breakdown in supply chains was not created by the enforced shortages in fossil fuels and the inflation spiral,, but by climate change! “This year alone,” it reads, “extreme weather has upended the U.S. economy…. Both international and domestic supply chains have been disrupted by climate change.” The Schiller Institute will counter this lunacy in an international conference on Nov. 13-14. Focused on bringing Russia, China, the United States and others together to lead the necessary effort to build a new international financial and credit system, the four panels will address: Can a Strategic Crisis Between the Major Powers Be Avoided?; The Science of Physical Economy; There Are No Limits to Growth in the Universe; and The Beauty of True Human Culture. Register today, at the Schiller Institute!
The Glasgow COP26 Summit, starting Halloween, is in more and more trouble to bring off its zombie jamboree for green death. Good news. But the unravelling of the financial and physical economy is so fast and bad, we face the question: What do we humans think and do? How do we meet emergency needs anywhere, and re-create nations and economies? Take the LaRouche, American System approach. Marcia Merry Baker, of the EIR Editorial Board, was on tonight's discussion.
