The answers to many of the economic and financial questions received for today can be found in the newly-released TLO pamphlet, "The Coming U.S. Economic Miracle -- On the New Silk Road."  Questions addressed today include: 1, What is Fed Chair Jerome Powell talking about when he assures us that inflation is "transitory"?; 2. What about China's actions related to Evergrande?; 3. Is the AUKUS agreement directed against China?; 4. What is the significance of the indictment of Hillary's attorney Sussman?      

Richard Freeman, of the Economics Desk of EIR, was the guest on this week's TLO Fireside Chat. Mr. Freeman heads up a team completing a major Schiller Institute report and policy proposal to solve the huge crisis ongoing in Haiti, which report is scheduled for publication in the EIR Online of Sept. 30.

After the Haitian earthquake in 2010, causing the deaths of more than 300,000 people, Lyndon LaRouche proposed a major reconstruction program for the nation: it was not acted on during the Obama Administration. Now, with the 2021 earthquake, and the assassination of the President, the much-worsened situation has generated a huge humanitarian crisis within Haiti, and internationally—with the refugee crisis on the US-Mexican border and much more. EIR will outline the urgent steps to address this with an immediate mobilization for water, health, power, transport infrastructure, and the US role in this. 

Blinken Demands UN Security Council Accept Climate Change as Global Security Threat

Sept. 24 (EIRNS)—Secretary of State Tony Blinken used his address yesterday at the UN Security Council’s special meeting on climate and security to try to ram down the throats of member nations the argument that the “climate crisis” is the pressing global security issue to be addressed by that body, as it is supposedly the cause of every major problem on the planet. Not all present agreed, as we report further.

A brief survey of the world today can but make any person of conscience weep—and commit to fight:

With scenes of Black men being rounded up on the southern U.S. border, herded into vehicles with hands and legs shackled, and transported abroad without being told their destination, the US Special Envoy to Haiti Daniel Foote today resigned, saying in a statement: “I will not be associated with the United States’ inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti, a country where American officials are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life. [Haiti] simply cannot support the forced infusion of thousands of returned migrants lacking food, shelter, and money without additional, avoidable human tragedy. Surging migrants to our borders will only grow as we add to Haiti’s unacceptable misery.”

In reviewing developments of the last days, Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that the battle between two mutually irreconcilable outlooks is escalating. This can be seen in the depraved indifference of the U.S., the U.K. and their NATO allies in response to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan — which they caused — in contrast to the efforts underway by Afghanistan's neighbors, using joint projects coordinated by the SCO, the BRICS, and the BRI for economic development of the war-torn country. It can be seen in the disgusting deportation of Haitian refugees, who are being sent back to a country which lacks the means to care for them, due to a recent succession of natural disasters. It can be seen by comparing the speeches of Biden and Xi Jinping at the UNGA meeting. And it can be seen by the escalation of regime change operations being directed by British intelligence against Russia and China.

The freezing of Afghanistan's national funds held in the N.Y. Federal Reserve Bank, ordered by Treasury Secretary Yellen on August 15, is setting the stage for further chaos in that war-torn country.  You don't have to love the Taliban to demand the unfreezing of those funds -- they belong to the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and are needed to feed people, provide medicine, purchase fuel, etc.  By withholding those funds, the U.S. and its allies are starving children, exactly as the British colonial administrators did to their colonies.  Is this what the Biden administration intends, when it says the era of endless wars is over???  

The statement of Sept. 5 by Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “Can ‘The West’ Learn? What Afghanistan Needs Now!” has gotten wide circulation and support. It lays out that the United States, having withdrawn its troops from Afghanistan at last, has the opportunity and the responsibility to cooperate in rebuilding its crushed economy. This is how to really end perpetual wars: The United States, China, and Russia cooperate in bringing economic development, along with other nations in Asia.

China’s President Xi Jinping gave the closing speech at the 76th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. During his speech, he said: “Facing the severe shocks of COVID-19, we need to work together to steer global development toward a new stage of balanced, coordinated and inclusive growth. To this end, I would like to propose a Global Development Initiative.”
