June 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 man’s will to the law of Reason in the universe—by making the mind, not the bestial aspect of humanity, the personality, and the value, the identity of the person. We not merely increase the human population, but we elevate the possible moral condition of mankind—if we don’t have oligarchs to ruin the process—usurers, Venetian bankers, and the like. Then we begin to discover what is the Good…
“What is the Good? The Good is the power of mind to recognize a principle of Reason as a lawful ordering of the entire universe. To recognize that a process of development is associated with this, and to recognize that the continuation and acceleration of the takeover of the personality by elaborated Reason, is the Good! The elevation of the moral condition of mankind in correspondence with this principle, and in actions congruent with that principle, is the Good.
Such was the principle of Solon at Athens. Such was the principle of the Platonic Academy, the concept of the Republic. And such were the principles of the founding of the modern European republic by the writings of Saint Augustine. That is the Good. And the Republic is the only natural condition of mankind. And it was proven by Dante and his followers, that not only natural form of republic is a totally sovereign nation, state, not subject to the IMF, or the World Bank.”
In this 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, and in the days leading up to July 4, the LaRouche Organization continues its mission, not only to conduct a singular discussion of the world-historic strategic implications, of the Pope’s encyclical, but to find interlocutors in Russia, China, the trans-Atlantic filed states, and in the world capable of establishing a Council of Reason that allows humanity to survive the present “New Dark Age.” The failures of trans-Atlantic monetarism, the Epstein Class, must not be allowed to succeed in imposing their Satanic “will to power” on the world before their ultimate demise.

March 29--“Planetary war.” That was the term used by Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (FSB) Director Sergei Naryshkin, in describing the silent interlacing of several of the more than sixty conflicts now occurring around the world. 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 complex facilities in Kiev. It also proclaimed an urgent warning that “foreign citizens, including diplomatic mission and international organization representative office personnel… leave the city as soon as possible.” This was not meant for Ukraine alone.
FSB Director Naryshkin did not mince words in his warning to the “Collective West,” advising Germany, in particular, not to repeat its experience of the first half of the 20th Century. “We know from the history of the first half of the 20th century how Germany takes responsibility for Europe. And how that ends—including for the Germans themselves—is well-known. Therefore, I would not advise them to repeat this experience," Naryshkin said.
In the United States, President Trump is telling the media—perhaps wishfully—that Iran is desperate to make a deal, while falsely claiming that its navy and air force have been obliterated despite the U.S. blatant failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, American strategic assets are being deployed for what would become the third “official” war launched under the Trump administration, this time against Cuba, even as the country is being economically strangled into submission by sanctions.
As all of these frightening developments take place, the much-needed “adults in the room” are still convened in deliberations at the United Nations, under the leadership of China on the topic, “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” There, Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed to the need for a global reform of the international system to safeguard peace, with a strong emphasis on development. LaRouche forces have been assembled at the UN, both in the lead up to the meeting and during it. They have distributed, and delegates have received, the statement of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “To the Governments of the United Nations: A Policy to Bring Peace and Development to Southwest Asia,” calling for a regional peace framework for Southwest Asia based on Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan. This would also be the immediate basis for a new security and development architecture to address the problems facing each and every country of the world at this very moment.
We of the post-imperial world have a choice of acting together as a cohesive force, presenting real solutions which can shape policy decisions, or allowing a descent into a civilizational collapse, the dimensions of which people have no appreciation. Candidates in the United States, such as Independent Presidential Candidate Diane Sare, and New York Congressional Candidate Jose Vega, represent the only path forward toward those solutions which can shape history. Will you join them, and others, to guide humanity out of its mad adolescence? Will you choose to be an adult in the room?

May 29—The following was written May 24, prior to the special United Nations meeting convened by UNSC chairman China.
Before the world descends into a maelstrom of total war, from which human civilization itself may not emerge, a different path must need be taken. 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 latest news.” The Russian Defense Ministry’s website makes it clear that the Russian strike conducted on May 29 in response to the NATO/Ukrainian multiple drone assault on the vocational school at Starobelksk in Lugansk used Oreshnik missiles. It must be remembered, however, that, apart from whatever damage is reported to Ukraine in the next hours and days, the Oreshnik is a nuclear-capable missile, whose hypersonic impact has been described as nuclear-like. Apart from the fact that there is nothing in the NATO arsenal that can stop it, its potential “non-conventional” use is also intended to be understood “by those that have eyes to see and ears to hear.” As the entire massive and complicated strike, with drones and missiles, could not have been planned in a mere 24 hours, strategic analysts say this was not retaliation, but a clear message being sent to the NATO forces behind the Ukraine's attacks as to what is in store for them if the attacks continue.
But what about the blind, the deaf, and the really, really dumb, like the American “Lego Secretary of War?” (Stanley Kubrick’s “Col. Jack D. Ripper” is a model of sobriety, restraint and composure in comparison to Pete Hegseth.) It does not, and probably cannot occur to the “Epstein leadership class” of NATO, nor to those educated in the trans-Atlantic institutions of higher learning also run by the Epstein class, that their various “successful enterprises” of the past eight decades, in finance, “technocracy,” and most emphatically in the field of geopolitics, have produced a societal culture which is no longer morally fit to survive. It cannot conceive its own condition, and therefore, cannot perceive the clear and present danger of its own, even imminent thermonuclear extinction.
The roots of this rot are deeper still. In 1994, economist Lyndon LaRouche observed:
“Since no later than 1905, despite some elements of progress, even some admirable ones, the overall pattern of this century has been one of global decay of civilization through two ruinous world wars. Over the period since the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, there came a worse, presently ongoing collapse, into a neo-Malthusian ‘New Dark Age,’ into a ‘New Ager’s post-industrial Utopia.’ In the United States, compare the 63 years that have now passed since the JFK assassination, with the 63 years before it—1900 to 1963. Compare American progress in life expectancy, material standard of life, productivity in mining, manufacturing and agriculture, family formation, internal social progress, world prestige, and fundamental scientific advance, between 1900 and 1963, and 1963 and 2026. America needs its own ‘Oasis Plan.’”
That is the case of the U.S. What about the NATO nations, particularly Western Europe? Is there one nation which does not have negative population growth? Is the outcry about “the disappearance of Western civilization” because of “the invasion of Islam” in the U.K. and other areas, besides its obvious racialist overtones, merely a cover for the hatred of the human race that has resulted from King Charles and the Club Of Rome pushing negative population growth for 60 years? From a demographic standpoint—whether or not the society has a future, based on the growth of its population, and an improvement in its living standards—nearly all the states of NATO are failed states. The killing of children, as seen in the Israeli policy in Gaza, the Ukrainian attack in Lugansk, the broader self-immolation in the “war to the last Ukrainian” and perhaps the darker “night island entertainments” of the “Epstein Class,” are an expression of this underlying reality. Europe, too, needs an “Oasis Plan.”
Those who are urging that Russia use all military means to “decapitate” Ukraine, as Israel attempted to do with Iran, or to take other measures “that I would take, if I were head of Russia,” might reflect as to why they are, precisely because of that very “rush to judgment,” disqualified to be in charge of the world’s most powerful thermonuclear arsenal, particularly at this moment in current history. The whole human race must be taken into account by a leader that has the power to eliminate most, if not all of human and other forms of life, through a mistake. That same leader has the power to encourage the deployment of advanced technologies to rebuild the Earth, and advance humanity to other worlds. Civilization in leadership is not a luxury, but a requirement.
A barbaric society in possession of thermonuclear weapons will eventually cause those weapons to be used. Any idea of abdication of responsibility to machines to make humanity’s decisions, of a society “all watched over by machines of loving grace,” is even more certain to end the existence of humanity. Therefore, the only kind of societies the world can now afford are those capable of uniting the human race and educating the emotions of the world’s people to the idea that it is only in the benefit of the other that our own survival is assured.
The International Peace Coalition will reach a milestone this week. It will hold its 156th consecutive meeting—a meeting every week for three years straight. The “world citizens diplomacy” that is being forged in those meetings through the practice of Socratic dialogue is the means for the education of the emotions required to advance the practice of “peace through development” as the only sure way to ascend our nations from the maelstrom of total war.
There is a coincidence of opposites at work here—“that I can never be all that I can be, unless you are all that you can be,” as Martin Luther King once said. “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” The “oasis” of the “extended Oasis Plan,” which the United Nations should be encouraged this week, by all, to discuss, is the wellspring of a grounded optimism that holds the promise of a future greater than what might appear to be humanity’s tragic destiny. Be impractical—choose the benefit of the other.

May 16--Against the backdrop of an impending global depression—which would be on the scale of the economic and social devastation of the 14th-century New Dark Age, during which nearly half of Europe’s population perished—Executive Intelligence Review convened a critical and substantive meeting titled, “The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy.” That May 15 meeting put, in concrete form, how a new security architecture could be realized for Southwest Asia, in the form of regional-based proposals for the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program, and the Palestinian question, but more importantly, an economic-development based perspective which would guarantee a peace based on shared interests and mutual prosperity.
This was the result of a discussion between Former Turkish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who reiterated the proposal he made in Project Syndicate for a comprehensive regional framework including Türkiye, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and others to administer the Strait of Hormuz, and Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who intervened to ask him whether the mediator nations previously proposed could be contacted to put forward on the global stage Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan for economic development of Southwest Asia. 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, which will inevitably lead in the short term to global nuclear war, or will a new harmony of interests be established between all nations? The latter was suggested to Chinese President Xi Jinping during the state visit of President Trump, in which the two largest economies in the world would work towards mutual benefit, solving all problems through diplomacy and dialogue.
On Oct. 2, 2008, in an event delivered to Washington, D.C.-based foreign diplomats, American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche called for a “four powers” agreement between the U.S., Russia, China, and India to stabilize the global financial system: “So therefore, we need order in the system, which means we have to put the world system through bankruptcy reorganization, and we have to restore something comparable to Franklin Roosevelt's intention in 1944, with the Bretton Woods system. The only way, in practice—being practical, not just abstract—is that there are four nations which must agree, in order for such a reform to occur rapidly enough, to save the world from Hell… Now, the four nations, as I indicated yesterday, are: the United States must agree; second nation must be Russia; the third nation must be China; the fourth must be India. If those four nations agree to a suitable type of agreement, most of the rest of the world will immediately join them in reform.”
Lyndon LaRouche’s 2008 call is still relevant for today, as we call on the world to move beyond geopolitics, to the higher idea of a new security and development architecture, based on Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s “Ten Principles.”
April 25--The global instability caused by the illegal U.S./Israeli war against Iran, along with the economic crises which are the byproducts of such ill-conceived aggression, is intensifying. 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 financial system, dependent on speculation, military spending, and other waste has created a devastating gap between the small minority of the 1% ‘Epstein Class’ billionaires and trillionaires who benefit from the state of perpetual war and mass censorship, and the overwhelming majority of citizens who have become poorer and poorer as the result of such policies. While the “adults in the room” are sparse, one such representative, Pope Leo XIV, has shed light on who is really bearing the cost of wars.
Pope Leo XIV, a prominent opponent of the Iran war, has faced repeated attacks from the Trump administration over his principled stance. As he concluded his historic four-nation tour of Africa—ending in Equatorial Guinea—he again spoke out against those who justify violence in the name of God. In a meeting with the authorities, civil society, and the diplomatic corps, the Pope said, “It is even more evident today than in years past that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, occurring with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.”
In honor of the new capital city being built in Equatorial Guinea, “Ciudad de la Paz” (the City of Peace), Pope Leo XIV referenced St. Augustine’s notion of the “City of God” in contrast to the ‘earthly city’ of the Epstein Class today: “You know that Saint Augustine interpreted events and history according to the model of two cities: the ‘city of God‘, eternal and characterized by God’s unconditional love (amor Dei), as well as love for one’s neighbor, especially the poor; and the ‘earthly city,‘ which is a temporary dwelling place, where men and women live until death. From this perspective, the two cities coexist until the end of time (cf. De civitate Dei, 19,14), and every human being, through the decisions he or she manifests day by day, belongs to one or the other of them… May the name of the new city "prompt every person to ask themselves which city they wish to serve! As I had the opportunity to remind the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See, according to the great father Augustine, the earthly city is centered upon the proud love of self (amor sui), on the lust for power and worldly glory that leads to destruction.”
In contrast to the earthly city of the Epstein class—embodied by King Charles III and his royal entourage, visiting the United States from April 27 to 30—citizens of the world should aspire to St. Augustine’s City of God, recognizing every human being as equally divine and worthy of love. As America marks 250 years since its anti-imperial revolution, this legacy stands at the center of today’s political crisis amid an increasingly vacillating Trump administration, which, like Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar, is being driven mad by its own arrogance. As a 90-year-old nun from Barcelona wrote after an International Peace Coalition meeting, “It’s a question of world heritage: the founding principles of the United States must be revived.”

April 24--One of the paintings currently on display at a special exhibit of the work of the Renaissance painter Raphael, now at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, is titled “The Ecstasy of Saint Cecilia. ” Cecilia is the patron saint of music. 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 his truly profane music, bringing a message of war, depopulation, and impoverishment. He will speak the world of the old colonialism, and he must be resisted.
The cacophony that presently exists in the mind of the President of the United States prevents him – but not the United States itself, or even its Presidency – from bringing about a harmony of interests among the world nations, like that sought by the courageous Pope Leo XIV, as expressed in his recent speeches in the African nations of Algeria, Cameroon, and Angola. Over the next 24 hours, it is necessary for all those who celebrate and cherish the sovereignty of the individual mind, and the sovereignty of their nation, acting in harmony with the nations of the world, to respond with great energy to the temporary “masquerade of anarchy “that intentionally or not, presently careens the world toward its extinction. We will call attention to today's Special Meeting of the International Peace Coalition and its deliberations on the principles for a new strategic and development architecture.

April 10--The two-week ceasefire agreed upon between the U.S. and Iran may have given some repose to the world, despite the underlying fragility of the agreement. 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 “using a nuclear bomb in Iran.” Nuclear war is total war, with casualties in the hundreds of millions to several billions in the hours and days after its inception.
There is utmost tension in the world right now, and little time to act to resolve the crises threatening the world. Certain voices are responding to the strategic crisis, like Pope Leo XIV, who in his Urbi et Orbi address on Easter Sunday made a direct statement against the perpetrators of today’s dangerous war against Iran. Pope Leo XIV declared, “Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!” Along with this important voice, Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche has issued an urgent letter to the Pope, calling on representatives of all religions to intervene on the level of Nicholas of Cusa, who organized the Council of Florence to unite the East and Western Churches, and who called for a dialogue of all faiths in his great dialogue, “De Pace Fidei.”
This week, on April 6, Executive Intelligence Review sponsored an Emergency Roundtable with world citizens, including representatives of Iran, India China, the Palestinian Authority, Guyana, Oman, and others, titled, “A Dialogue of Civilizations: Is There Still Time to Prevent War Against Iran from Escalating into a Global Nuclear Conflict?” One of the topics of that two-panel discussion was the extended Oasis Plan first proposed by Lyndon LaRouche in 1975 to develop Southwest Asia through nuclear power and water-management infrastructure. There were endorsements from many panelists, including Amb. Chas Freeman, former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, who said that the Oasis Plan could be like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
We must replace nuclear threats and endless war with diplomacy. The efforts of the Schiller Institute, Executive Intelligence Review, and the LaRouche Organization must be amplified by citizens who take responsibility for policy while their leadership abdicates their role to promote the General Welfare.
April 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 our countries.”
Then, addressing the quagmire of conflict into which the world has been plunged, largely due to the Epstein Class’s blackmail and other negative impact on the American executive and legislative branches of government, the President might have cited JFK’s American University reflection that “mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.” JFK continued, “Our problems are manmade--therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable--and we believe they can do it again.”
But, that did not happen.
Last night’s great moment found a small President. However, our people must not be small, as the German poet Friedrich Schiller said of the people of France in 1789. Instead, we must dare to be wise.
In the absence of leadership, the Schiller Institute and its Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche have issued an appeal to Pope Leo XIV and other religious leaders to intervene on the level of the great diplomat, cardinal, and scientist Nicholas of Cusa, as a way of ending conflict and promoting peace through development among opposites. In this present circumstance, people should consider their own responsibility as citizens—regardless of their own religious affiliation—in reading what Pope John XXIII said in his encyclical, “Pacem In Terris,” written just before his death in April, 1963. Just before this, the Pope had intervened to stop the Cuban Missile Crisis from evolving into global thermonuclear warfare. In his encyclical, Pope John XXIII said, “Men, both as individuals and as intermediate groups, are required to make their own specific contributions to the general welfare. The main consequence of this is that they must harmonize their own interests with the needs of others, and offer their goods and services as their rulers shall direct… Those who have authority in the State must exercise that authority in a way which is not only morally irreproachable, but also best calculated to ensure or promote the State's welfare. The attainment of the common good is the sole reason for the existence of civil authorities. In working for the common good, therefore, the authorities must obviously respect its nature…”
Now is the time for all citizens, of all civil societies, to stand up on behalf of all of humanity in the same way that the astronauts on their way to the Moon are standing up for all of humanity. Through the same principles that underlie the science of physical economy that got us to the Moon, we must arrive at a harmony among all humanity on Earth. We must, in the image of that Presidential System created in the United States 250 years ago, declare the independence of the human race from racism, imperialism, war and predation. It is the resurrection of those values that is most required this Holy Week.

March 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 former Special Forces Green Beret who witnessed war crimes in Gaza and has served in every conflict area since 9/11; Josephine Guilbeau, a U.S. intelligence officer and soldier; and Brian McGinnis, a former U.S. Marine who intervened in a public hearing in Congress and had his hand broken by a U.S. senator.
Among these individuals, two—Anthony and Brian—are running for Congress in North Carolina. All of those presenters have been featured in meetings of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), organized and initiated by Schiller Institute Chairwomen Helga Zepp-LaRouche. This demonstration of principle must be replicated among the U.S. population, who may not have served in conflict but are nevertheless responsible for self-government, as prescribed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. That sense of duty, along with an understanding of American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche’s physical-economic proposals for the world, including his Oasis Plan in Southwest Asia, can chart a different course for the U.S. and the world if adopted now.
March 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 continuing role of Tony Blair, Jonathan Powell, and the City of London pulling the strings, as it has always done in the Middle East. As Lyndon LaRouche always did, he provided the solution to such a recipe for disaster. That involves creating a new potential for the region, a way forward to the mutual benefit of all involved, including the participation of Russia, China, and others who may be outside the region, but are trusted, well-meaning partners. The whole region must be rebuilt along the lines of Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan, from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucuses to the Gulf. In a 2002 speech he gave to the Zayed Center in Abu Dhabi, LaRouche referred to the Middle East as the crossroads between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Instead of being reduced to petroleum-producing nations, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, and other nations should use their oil as a trade-in for advanced scientific and technological development, including high-speed rail corridors, water desalination, nuclear power, and advanced cities to be developed across the region.
That, in essence, is a return to a sane, moral U.S. foreign policy, based on the original outlook of American leaders such as George Washington and John Quincy Adams, who believed that strength meant not conquest, but development. Such a Socratic notion of “Power,” as opposed to “Force,” must become the basis for American policy right now, lest we all destroy ourselves through war, perhaps as early as this year.

March 7--In an interview conducted earlier today, Professor Jiang Xueqin, a Chinese-Canadian educator and writer based in Beijing, said something unusual in its intelligence: “OK, I will say this: whatever you believe about what is happening, whatever you believe will happen, will be completely wrong. Whatever happened in the past, will not apply to what’s going to happen right now. This is a unique war. This is something that we cannot use history, the lens of history to understand. OK? Go back to the Russia-Ukraine war. I still don’t understand why this war is still going on. Russia won this war about two years ago. The Ukrainians have lost about 1 million fighting age men. Now they are dragging elderly men, kidnapping them, and putting them on the battlefield. A third of the country has already fled Ukraine. I don’t understand why this war is still going on. So from a geopolitical perspective, from an historical perspective, from a military perspective, what’s going on in Ukraine doesn’t really make any sense to me.”
Professor Jiang’s evaluation is one of the few reliable assessments of the now drastically transformed circumstance in Southwest Asia.
He then makes a most crucial point: “Remember, Russia has nuclear weapons. You don’t want to poke the bear too much, because then you might end up destroying the world. So the traditional understanding of how wars are fought, why they’re fought, I don’t think you can use them anymore. OK? I think we’re living in a very special time. And the framework that I think you have to use is eschatological, religious. They’re doing this, not to win wars, to control resources, to obtain oil, to control trade roots. They’re doing this for religious purposes, to achieve a certain world that they believe will reflect the divine will of God. He then refers to “a news item, where a commander told his troops, this American Commander, not to be afraid of the war in Iran.“
As reported by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) non-commissioned officers briefed on the Iran war, and war in Southwest Asia in general over the recent period, have complained about their superiors’ unrestricted euphoria regarding the “End Times” as described in the Book of Revelation.
The New Republic reported that “One such note included an anecdote from a noncommissioned officer, who reported that their commander had ‘urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ." He said that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” ’the NCO continued. ‘He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy.’|"
Reevaluation even seems to be threatening to visit the premises of the New Yorker magazine. A February 24 article appeared titled “Are We Living in the Age of Epstein?” with the subtitle “the scandal suggests that everything awful we’ve ever believed is true.” More and more are beginning to suspect that the practices, satanic and pre-Satanic, of what is increasingly being referred to as “the Epstein class” are as depraved in foreign policy as they are in the criminal abuse, and even murder of children.
A 1983 EIR study, ”The Jerusalem Temple Mount: Trigger for Fundamentalist Holy Wars” said in its introduction “the basis for the alliance of professed Christians and Jews is a shared, anti-Judaic form of pre-Christian belief structure, converging on the pagan Hermeticist castration dogma of Scottish Rite Freemasonry itself. This has been applied to produce an agreed-upon pagan interpretation of Old Testament prophecy. The result for practice is a shared determination to rebuild the Temple of Solomon on the site it is presumed to have occupied during the ninth century BC, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. That site is now occupied by the Al-Aqsa mosque, one of the holiest shrines of the Islamic faith.”
In the transatlantic world, only the EIR has the necessary perspective, and the solution, to intervene in the complex domain into which the world has now entered. Don’t be caught below the level of events! Listen, reevaluate, and act to change the world.

Feb. 8--The partial release of more than 6 million pages of files relating to disgraced financier, intelligence operative, and arms dealer Jeffrey Epstein has provoked a tidal wave of discussion, so far, but little action. The “story behind the story” remains hidden—namely, the true nature of the trans-Atlantic establishment’s “failed financial system,” and their desperate attempts to preserve it, even as it collapses. The enormous instabilities facing the world today—including the outbreak of regional wars, the escalation of existing conflicts, the physical-economic collapse of the United States and Europe, and the breakdown of arms agreements, such as the expiration of the New START Treaty this week—are the consequences of the predatory practices, from the boardroom to the bedroom, of the “Vampire’s Ball” called the “rules-based international order.” It’s not merely a lack of leadership; it’s a lack of humanity.
Despite the repeated offer by Russian President Vladimir Putin to extend the New START treaty by one year, a gesture of good will by Russia to the Trump Administration, no action was taken by the latter to preserve the treaty, and by extension, prevent a new arms race from erupting. In a similar fashion, no one on the U.S. side appears to be interested in securing a just diplomatic settlement on the issue of Iran’s nuclear program, instead seeking to threaten the Iranian regime into submission. This risks, not only provoking another war far worse than the so-called “12 Day War,” it leads us, together with the New START expiration, down a certain path to thermonuclear war, whatever the State Department geniuses wish to pretend to be the case.
In a press conference this past Feb. 5, Independent Presidential candidate Diane Sare was joined by investigative journalist and talk show host Garland Nixon and arms control expert Scott Ritter, the first to set foot in Russia to inspect its nuclear arsenal following the implementation of the INF Treaty in 1988.
Sare quoted from General Douglas MacArthur’s Sept. 2, 1945 speech aboard the USS Missouri, delivered after receiving Japan’s surrender. After witnessing the terrible power of the atomic bomb—the use of which he had vehemently opposed, along with other top U.S. military brass—MacArthur admonished, “If we do not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door. The problem basically is theological, and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advance in science, art, literature and all material and cultural developments of the past two thousand years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.”
It is clear from the Epstein “sewage dump” of files, that the question of a ‘spiritual recrudescence’ among the U.S. population—not its present leadership—is the essential matter confronting us today. It is what Schiller Institute Chairwoman and IPC convener Helga Zepp-Larouche has posed to all nations and peoples of the world concerning a new security and development architecture, which would respect the peaceful coexistence and sovereignty of every nation, and uphold the dignity of man by creating a new just economic order.
To provide an alternative to the march to doom within the existing trans-Atlantic leadership structure, or the ‘Epstein Class,’ people who have been cast out of any participation in self-government must confront their own axioms, and determine what they are willing to do to save the human race, and therefore the United States and themselves, from death by corruption. That will benefit not only themselves, but future generations. The LaRouche Organization will provide the conceptual basis for people to act in the image of the American Declaration of Independence, which states that whenever any government becomes destructive of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, it is the right, and the duty of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.
