News of Mr. X | Internationally Recognized Intelligence Author Defying the Narrative RSSFri, 12 Jun 2026 04:15:10 GMTJune 12--A profound revolution in contemporary intellectual affairs has been proposed by Pope Leo XIV in his new Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas. More importantly, as seen in his recent trip to Spain, and the response he is eliciting, this first United States-born Pope is “walking his talk.” He is challenging the international War Party, and calling for a dialogue of civilizations that transcends the present failed and failing bankrupt geopolitics that is relentlessly driving humanity toward thermonuclear war.Vatican News reports that “In the fifth chapter—The Culture of Power and the Civilization of Love—Pope Leo XIV turns his gaze to war, saying ‘the digital revolution is changing the nature of conflict.’ The Pope calls for an ethical approach, without which decisions about the life and death of persons will become increasingly impersonal due to a use of force regarded as an ‘immediate and viable option’ (182-183). At the root of all this is a ‘culture of power’ that normalizes war and rehabilitates it as an ‘instrument of international politics,’ favoring rearmament.”The Pope, trained as an Augustinian, will be glad to know that the magnificence of humanity of which his encyclical’s title speaks is demonstrated through the science of technological progress that is the substance of physical economy. Speaking at the December 28, 1985 conference of the Schiller Institute, called “The Year of St. Augustine,” Lyndon LaRouche presented an affirmation of Leo’s theme, but from an ontological rather than theological standpoint:“Man… is capable of Reason. Capable of seeing a lawful ordering in the universe, and using the knowledge of that lawful ordering to reform and change his own behavior. And in this way, by making reason rather than (Adam) Smith’s immediate and original instincts, bestial qualities, the characteristic of human behavior, by so doing, we achieve what we call scientific and technological progress. We not only increase man’s power over nature by bending ma... Read more

An example: journalist Kit Klarenberg reported May 24 on what he characterized as Ukraine’s Secret Al Qaeda Invasion of Africa: “On May 13th, French outlet RTL published an explosive report, entirely unremarked upon by English language media. It exposed how Ukrainian military and intelligence units are covertly operating in Mali on France’s behalf, in coordination with both ethnic Tuareg rebels and Al Qaeda-linked forces determined to crush the country’s revolutionary government.” Journalist John Helmer asserted in an interview this week that he believed that Ukrainian forces have been operating out of NATO facilities in Greece, or that NATO forces in Greece were launching attacks against Russia from NATO facilities—which would be far worse.  These include unacknowledged NATO vs. Russia/China proxy wars in places like Mali, the “planetary war” which Naryshkin said may have already begun, at the International Security Forum in Moscow. In a increasingly dangerous and volatile strategic arena — from the illegal aggression taken against Iran by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28th, to the deranged provocations of NATO-sponsored Ukrainian attacks on civilian targets in Russian territory — there is a severe shortage of thinking adults in the room to put an end to these conflicts, before they eventually lead us all into an inescapable thermonuclear showdown.Following Ukraine’s attack of a Russian school dormitory in Starobelsk on the night of May 21-22—with the implicit consent of NATO countries—Russia launched a devastating, multi-weapon overnight counter-strike on March 23–including the use of its unstoppable Oreshnik missile—and then announced a series of “systematic strikes” that would be launched on key military-industrial ...

This Tuesday, May 26, the United Nations will convene the session, “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” sponsored by the United Nations Security Council’s rotating Chairman, the People’s Republic of China. For the past week, LaRouche forces, and the International Peace Coalition (IPC), among others, have circulated, including at the UN itself, a proposal “To the Governments of the United Nations: A Policy To Bring Peace and Development to Southwest Asia.”The statement reflects, in part the results of deliberations at the May 15 Executive Intelligence Review Roundtable, “The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy.” Participating were Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche; former Prime Minister of Türkiye Ahmet Davutoğlu; Iranian Ambassador to Mexico Abolfazl Pasandideh; and former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine Richard Falk, among others. In addition to a four-point proposal for advancing the cause of peace in Southwest Asia proposed at the EIR roundtable by Professor Davutoğlu, Zepp-LaRouche suggested an expansion of his proposals with “An integrated ‘Extended Oasis Plan,’ in which a program for reversing the desertification of Southwest Asia, modelled on China’s transformation of Xinjiang province and its northwest deserts, is combined with the extension of development corridors throughout Southwest Asia.”That the world conversation on a new security and development architecture needs to immediately upshift to this solution concept could not be more evident, when the events of the past weekend are seen from the standpoint of their “existential threat” nature, rather than as “the lat...

Other participants, such as Professor Richard Falk, endorsed that approach.The path of escalation being taken by the United States, Europe, and others with respect to war in Iran, Russia, China, and others can be stopped, provided that citizens recognize the consequences of not acting as qualified statesmen, who, while not in elected positions of power, can nevertheless act to change the course of history for the better. A stunning example of that was on display during the Executive Intelligence Review Roundtable last night, which also notably featured H.E. Abolfazl Pasandideh, the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Mexico.Will the path of escalation be taken,... Read more

As President Trump’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz remains in place, Iran has made it clear that the closure will continue, affecting energy supply, fertilizer costs, and more essential necessities from reaching nations across the world. As a result, UN Development Program Administrator Alexander De Croo reported that more than 32 million people have been pushed back into poverty worldwide. Against this backdrop of a global depression, President Trump’s wild, contradictory statements continue to cast doubt on his mental health, as he desperately seeks to convince the American population that Iran is losing the war and is collapsing economically.Just after his last-minute announcement on Tuesday night that he would extend the ceasefire with Iran until the Iranian side produced a unified proposal on a negotiated settlement to conclude hostilities, Trump said in a Truth Social post, “Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately – Starving for cash! Losing 500 million dollars a day. Military and Police complaining that they are not getting paid. SOS!!!”Rather, it’s possible that President Trump may have conflated the $500 million figure with the report of European Union Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen, who said that the Iran war was costing Europe around €500 million (approx. $585 million) each day, and was comparable in scope to the surge in energy prices caused by the 1973 oil crisis and 2022 Ukraine war combined. In the United States, essential programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, and Medicare are being cut back to free up funds for national defense. At the same time, Trump has proposed increasing the defense budget to an unprecedented $1.5 trillion—despite previously pledging to cut the $1 trillion budget in half.The trans-Atlantic financi...

The description of the painting reads:“The painting's juxtaposition of instrumental and vocal music has a powerful symbolic function.Cecilia looks upward in rapture as the heavens part to reveal a celestial choir of angels. She passively holds an organetto (small organ) that has begun to slide toward damaged instruments strewn at her feet, symbols of her rejection of earthly music in favor of the spiritual inner voice.”Apart from the description’s insightful observation that the human voice is primary in {human} music, as opposed, for example, to the “harmony of the spheres" demonstrated by astronomers such as Johannes Kepler, there is another important consideration it provokes. Each human mind, because it inhabits the living universe, is capable of apprehending universal truth. By truth we mean both the discovered laws which express change– or no change – in the universe, and our reflection upon and successful change of those discovered laws through our deepened knowledge of those laws, but their physical expression, as in physical economy.The sovereignty of the individual human mind exists only to the extent that it is properly tuned to the laws of the universe. That, and only that, can be the basis for efficient human judgment. “I am King, and God, and Law” is the outlook of the crazed, such as King Nebucudnezzar, the king of Babylon, who, driven mad by his own arrogance, was reduced to grazing in the fields alongside his cows. The late-night outbursts emanating from, either the current occupant of the White House, or his underlings, says, more clearly than anything else that “Babylon is fallen.” And next week, the Whore of Babylon himself, King Charles, will come to America to desecrate the Congress, singing...

The danger of possible nuclear annihilation was highlighted by the threat made by Trump on April 7, just hours before the agreement had been made. He proposed that were immediate military action to be undertaken against the nation of Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Implied in that statement, of course, was the potential use of a nuclear weapon to wipe out the Iranian nation and its 5,000 year earlier Persian and other civilizations.The City of London, Wall Street, and the crazies in the Pentagon and Military-Financial complex will not stop, but in fact, welcome creating a total catastrophe in Southwest Asia to achieve their imperial goals, even if that demands the use of nuclear weapons.A trial-balloon for manufacturing consent of nuclear war among the population was recently exposed when a BBC article either fabricated or planted what they alleged to be a “quote” by a 20-year old Iranian citizen living in Tehran. They reported him to have said, “About them [the U.S.] hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or leveling Iran. My honest reaction is that I’m OK with all of those.” There were thousands of reactions to this report, with many incredulous that an Iranian citizen would believe the destruction of his own nation through nuclear force would be a good thing. The BBC article was later “updated,” saying that, after further review, the part of the quote referencing the use of an atomic bomb was “removed from the article due to concerns over the way in which the speaker expressed his views and the extent to which they reflected wider Iranian viewpoints.” This cannot be viewed as incompetent journalism, but as an attempt to plant, and surface the idea of tactical nuclear war —the use of “a nuclear bomb in Iran.” There is no such thing as “...

]]>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:57:32 GMTApril 2--For the first time in fifty-four years, the United States successfully launched a manned orbit of the Moon, on the evening of April 1, representing an accomplishment not just for the U.S., but for humanity itself. Just a day earlier, LaRouche Independent Presidential candidate Diane Sare had called attention in a video statement to the Apollo 8 Mission circling of the Moon, and the Christmas message of astronauts Jim Lovell, Frank Borman, and Bill Anders, who read from the Book of Genesis. On Easter week, people are called upon to reflect upon such accomplishments on behalf of humanity, which reflect the fact that Man is born in the image of God, and can discover the greater laws governing the universe for the benefit of others.Unfortunately, this was not main point addressed by President Donald Trump in his April Fools’ Day speech, in his non-use, bordering on misuse, of the historic Artemis II mission. Instead, the clueless President claimed that the nation was on track to secure its military objectives in Iran, and that this illegal war of aggression was somehow necessary for the security of the world. The reality is quite different, because none of his objectives have been met, and the world is closer than ever to the brink of nuclear war.If President Trump were of sound mind, and had the least bit of ability to effectively demonstrate real statecraft, he could have used the occasion of Easter week, and the beginning of Passover, tonight, to cause the nation to reflect on the words of President John F. Kennedy at the UN, September 20, 1963, when he proposed that there be a joint mission to the Moon by the United States and the Soviet Union, the two great adversaries of that era: “Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries--indeed of all the world--cannot work together in the conquest of space, sending someday in this decade to the moon not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of ...

]]>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:31:25 GMTby Mr. XMarch 28--A moral fracture in the fabric of Western civilization is becoming increasingly apparent. Those who identify themselves as part of the “rules-based order” have displayed conduct that only defies international law, but is downright Satanic. Military campaigns nothing short of population wars, or what is cynically described as “shock and awe,” continue to affect civilian populations across the Middle East—in places such as Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran. Meanwhile, powerful figures associated with the “Epstein class” and allegations of crimes against underage women are shielded, or excused by individuals who publicly champion “democracy” and “human rights” abroad.As the Trump Administration unconvincingly talks about “negotiations” and “pauses” on strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure, multiple thousands of American troops are currently being positioned in the region, presumably for a disastrous ground invasion. The supposed “pause” in attacks is also betrayed by Israel’s current attacks targeting Iranian steel plants, power plants, and nuclear power plants in Iran.Those who delude themselves into thinking President Trump is playing some kind of “three-dimensional chess” should maybe consider the fact that it is instead a “three-dementia chess” clouding Trump’s mind at the moment. Instead of making observations and mostly wrong analyses of what is happening, the American people must respond through their moral conscience, and demand accountability from their representatives and others who have abdicated their responsibility to stop illegal wars.That moral spirit is exemplified by the actions of former U.S. military servicemen who have previously fought for their nation under the belief they were doing something right.A National Press Club event on Thursday, March 26, featured military veterans, including Ray McGovern, a former intelligence officer and founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS); Anthony Aguilar, a f...

]]>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:00:33 GMTMarch 27--Can we, the American people, revert back to sanity before it’s too late? At minimum, the past 25 years of U.S. foreign policy has been a slip-and-slide from one disaster to the next, which has now led the world to the brink of global thermonuclear warfare, with Iran being the fuse to light off such a doomsday scenario. This evil and almost unfathomable level of danger is not a new phenomenon in human history, unfortunately. As Lyndon LaRouche laid out 20 years ago, in an article titled “Strictly Speaking, There Is No Iran Crisis,” the drive for endless warfare in the Middle East is the evolution of the British Empire’s imperial strategy during World War I, where the region was divided into separate blocs according to the script provided in the Britidh-authored “Sykes-Picot” Agreements.LaRouche said, in 2006 “ The targets of ‘The Crisis on the Global Chessboard’ include Russia and China, Russia more immediately. However, the more immediate phase of the British-led game in progress, is the promotion of British Arab Bureau veteran Bernard Lewis’s revival of the global anti-Islam strategy which had been the basis for the creation and perpetuation of that medieval imperialist alliance of the Venetian financier-oligarchy and Norman chivalry, known as ‘The Crusades.’ What is in progress, currently centered in [then-British Prime Minister Tony] Blair’s and Jack Straw’s Liberal Imperialist London, is the creation of that permanent state of warfare and revolution intended to be the organizing principle of a new form of global imperialism, a form currently labeled ‘globalization.’ A global, perpetual religious war against Islam, is the British imperial policy adopted currently, for this purpose, by the Blair allies associated with the U.S. Bush-Cheney regime.”The “Greater Israel” fanatics and the modern-day quasi-Christian crusaders in the United States, such as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are pushing for this permanent state of warfare right now, with the continui...
