An Ascent From the Maelstrom
by Mr. X
Sept. 11—In a situation of extreme political turbulence, such as today, when two distinct prospects stand before the world, and civilization itself hangs in the balance, it is possible to not only survive, but to prosper—but only by thinking clearly. “Extreme events,” such as those of the past five days, should not be assumed to necessarily originate from separate causes. For example, is there a larger process that subsumes a) the Israeli attempt, apparently without the knowledge of U.S. President Donald Trump, to kill the Hamas negotiators in Doha; b) the attempt to claim, without evidence, that Russia has attacked the nation of Poland with drones; and c) the attempt to introduce “civil war” chaos into American political life, through the assassination of a Trump ally, the young founder and chairman of Turning Point International, Charlie Kirk?
Executive Intelligence Review, particularly in these moments, in order to discover the truth, goes beyond “information gathering” to the realm of “intelligence,” whatever the prejudices of its audience, or the dominant “analytical institutions” may be. In cases such as current history, it is important, as American author Edgar Poe illustrated in his tale, “A Descent Into the Maelstrom,” not to drown one’s judgment in the particulars of what are erroneously called “current events.” In this particular case, it is important to investigate apparently unconnected events as the expression of underlying processes. It is understanding the manifold of those underlying processes which can provide the means to discover the truth.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche has written a statement for wide circulation, by the name: “The Nations of the Western Must Cooperate with the New World Economic Order!” It is, in reality, a peace proposal, a proposal for a new security and development architecture. It describes how last week’s multiple conferences in Asia brought into being an increasingly consolidated, new world economic reality. The world is already now oriented to the Pacific Ocean, and potentially, to the Arctic Ocean, no longer to the Atlantic and NATO.
India, Russia and China, containing 3 billion people, and a great concentration of the world’s resources, are at the fulcrum of a larger concentration (including the Koreas, Japan and Indonesia) of the world’s most skilled workforces and most advanced technologies. If the United States joins that process, and abandons war, the world’s greatest age of prosperity in its history can result. And in a different, sobering way, the Beijing military parade, the largest in human history, commemorating the victory against fascism in Asia—not accomplished by the atomic bomb, as is believed in America and Europe, but through the great suffering of the 30 million Chinese and 27 million Russians who died in the war—makes the same point, demonstrating the resolve never to capitulate to fascism again.
Against that new, happy reality, decapitation strikes (Yemen, Lebanon, Iran), color revolutions (Serbia, Serb Republic, Georgia) and sanctions, including tariffs (many nations) are being utilized by a dying empire. The British-American “special relationship” could end if Trump pursues a new relationship with Russia and China, adopting Abraham Lincoln’s policy of constructive engagement with both those nations as allies against imperialism, rather than Winston Churchill’s policy of racialist perpetual war. With that in mind, consider the following questions regarding two recent “extreme events.”
First, with respect to the Israeli illegal attack on Doha, President Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt reported that the United States had called its ally Qatar, to warn that nation of an impending attack by Israel: “President Trump immediately directed special envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.” She was quickly corrected by Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani: “The attack happened at 3:46 p.m. The first call we had from an American official was at 3:56 p.m., which was 10 minutes after the attack. After that, President Trump had spoken with His Highness The Amir, and said that he condemned the attack.”
After this, Trump posted the following: “This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar. This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”
Economist Jeffrey Sachs, in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, commented that, like the attack on Iran, the Israelis were trying to kill the negotiators, because peace might break out. Trump was saying he did not know about something that had to be prepared over weeks—and it’s very possible that he did not know. Is that the case? Blackmail, as in the case of what Sachs described as “a Mossad agent engaged in gathering compromising materials on the American political class,” named Jeffrey Epstein, also involved Britain’s Prince Andrew, once chief weapons salesman for the Crown, and U.K. Ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson, who told the London press yesterday that “very embarrassing” revelations are about to appear about him. There are also the Maxwells, not only Ghislaine, but her siblings, the children of the Mossad agent Robert Maxwell.
Next, consider the following EIR item:
Charles Kirk, the executive director of Turning Point USA, assassinated today in Utah, was cited multiple times in 2023 and 2024 by Ukraine’s infamous Center for Countering Disinformation for “spreading pro-Russian narratives in the West.” Such a designation put Kirk into the CCD’s category of an “information terrorist,” someone who can and should be treated as an actual terrorist. What had Kirk said to land him on the CCD list?
Commenting on a statement on Ukraine made by Marco Rubio in January, Kirk pointed out that Rubio “acknowledges that funding another war ‘as long as it takes’ is not realistic, and any end to the war must be a negotiated compromise. Otherwise, Ukraine will be destroyed from the loss of every last young man in the country. This is the way. End the war.”
In this context, recall an earlier report from BBC News, September 17, 2024: “Ukrainian officials have firmly distanced themselves from the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at the former President’s Florida golf course. Ryan Routh, 58, has repeatedly tried to recruit foreign soldiers for the Ukrainian military, but was unsuccessful.” Helga Zepp-LaRouche has also appeared on that list, along with former U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare, who wrote in July of 2022:
“On July 14 the Ukrainian Government’s ‘Center to Counter Disinformation’ posted my name and photograph on a list of 72 individuals whom they accuse on their website of ‘promoting narratives consonant with Russian propaganda.’ While that is already an egregious assault on our Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech by a foreign power, I have since learned that on the day the Ukrainian blacklist was posted, the Center’s Director Andriy Shapolavov, speaking at an international roundtable on ‘countering disinformation’ with ‘representatives of state authorities, public organizations, mass media and international experts … supported by the U.S. State Department’ called such people as those listed, ‘information terrorists,’ and said that Ukraine is preparing legislation so that such people can be prosecuted as ‘war criminals.’ (See the Center’s website.)
“This has obvious security implications for myself and each of the individuals listed, who include former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, current U.S. Senator Rand Paul, and notably 30 of us who spoke at conferences sponsored by the Schiller Institute of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who made the top of the list.”
We need not comment here on the “Russia Bombs Poland” story, other than to point out that Vice-President Vance indicated that once the Ukraine matter is settled, perhaps Russia and the United States will engage in expanded trade and collaboration in areas such as the Arctic. Circulation of the Zepp-LaRouche statement and daily reading of Executive Intelligence Review is the surest way to avoid manipulation in the maelstrom of current “extreme events,” and to concentrate on bring the trans-Atlantic world into a post-imperialism 21st century without war.
