Feb. 26—Helga Zepp LaRouche was interviewed on CGTN’s The Hub broadcast this morning by host Wang Guan.

WANG GUAN: And now we’re joined also by Helga Zepp-LaRouche in Wiesbaden, Germany, founder and President of the Schiller Institute. Madame LaRouche welcome back to CGTN. I’m glad to have you with us again. First of all, I want to get your sense of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict: Do you think it could have been avoided?

HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: President Putin had made very clear that red lines had been crossed. He said at one point, there is no place for me to retreat to, and the West did not listen to that. Then, on Dec. 17, he asked from NATO and the United States legally binding security guarantees, that NATO would not expand further to the east, that no offensive weapons would be put on the Russian border, and that Ukraine would never become a member of NATO. And he did not get an answer. He didn’t get an answer to the core question, only to secondary aspects.

February 25 -- As Russian troops moved into Ukraine on February 24 with a mission to degrade Kiev's military capabilities, which President Putin has described as posing an existential threat to Russia's security, and the U.S. and NATO nations responded with an unprecedented economic assault against Russia, it is evident that the increasingly shrill and hysterical anti-Putin narrative coming from the Trans-Atlantic world had little to do with Ukraine and the deployment of Russian troops on its border. Instead, it is a response to the collapse of their post-Cold War "unipolar order". Further, it is an effort directed from the City of London and Wall Street, acting through its "Military-Industrial Complex", to prevent the further economic development of those nations which are not part of their "club" -- and especially the possibility of the emergence of a new, just financial system, serving a multipolar order of sovereign nations, committed to peace and economic development. This most emphatically includes Russia and China, whose leaders consolidated a strategic agreement on February 4, which provoked a panicked response from leading members of the "club," focused on their concern that the strengthened alliance will gain more adherents from nations unwilling to surrender their sovereignty to the "Rules-Based Order" and the banker's "Great Reset."

Precipice, Or Turning Point? Can A New Security And Development Architecture Replace NATO?

Feb. 25—In Ukraine this weekend, the military operations continue, with a focus on Kiev. Speaking from there, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today made sounds of both resistance and a call for ceasefire, and also proposed today that talks begin with Russia. President Vladimir Putin, who spoke with President Xi Jinping this morning, said that a high-level Russian delegation would be prepared to meet in Minsk, with Ukrainian representatives, on the security terms for Russia and the region, which Russia has repeatedly spelled out. Belarus President Alexandr Lukashenko affirmed that appropriate conditions would be provided for such a meeting in Minsk.

Feb. 25—Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spent a portion of today sending out feelers for negotiation with Russia for a cessation of hostilities, then apparently pulled back. He said this morning, “I want to again address the President of the Russian Federation. The fighting continues all over Ukraine. Let’s sit at the negotiation table to stop human fatalities,” reported RT. And a key advisor, Mikhail Podolyak, added his voice: “If negotiations are possible, they must be held.” If Moscow demands it, Zelenskyy and his government are willing to discuss “neutrality status.” Kiev “has always left and [still] leaves space for negotiations” despite a “full-scale invasion” by Russian troops.

Feb. 25—Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the Russian Security Council, and gave remarks afterward, in which he called on Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) to separate themselves from the radical Stepan Bandera-tied militias. So far, it has been the radical battalion groupings persisting in the fighting. The UAF members are allowed to disarm and go home. Such a policy aims at breaking Ukraine’s institutions free from the neo-Nazi groupings, and to survive intact.

Feb. 25—Natalia Vitrenko, chairwoman of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine (PSPU), and Alessia Ruggeri, of the Comitato per la Repubblica in Italy and also a member of the Committee of Coincidence of Opposites of the Schiller Institute, were on a exclusive TV program broadcast live on the evening of Feb. 23, together with journalists, host Luca La Bella and Gianmarco Landi, and Russian journalist Iryina Mikhaylova, who lives in Italy and volunteered to translate for Vitrenko, whom she knows and admires.

The LaRouche Organization has begun a new class series entitled "Introduction to LaRouche: The Power of Reason." In the midst of the extreme strategic crisis, help us build a Renaissance.

The class series will run for the next 8 weeks, and will cover a range of subjects central to Lyndon LaRouche's discoveries in the science of physical economics, and it's keystone, the knowable process of human creativity. 

What really was the Cold War? Did WWII ever really end? We will look at Elliot Roosevelt's insights in his book "As He Saw It" to examine the situation currently. Also, we will look at Eisenhauer's fight against the Military Industrial Complex and the true spirit of Bandung to finally end the Anglo American Empire.

Gerry Rose was the guest speaker.

Feb. 24—“Before we finally and irrevocably reach the point of no return in mankind’s history — the point at which a global, thermonuclear war obliterates the human species — we must act swiftly to correct the absolute disaster that the imperial policy of the EU and the United States has created in Ukraine, and in relation to Russia and China. And we must especially eliminate the roots of this civilizational crisis, before the point of no return is reached.” So wrote Helga Zepp-LaRouche in a March 8, 2014, article. Eight years later, her analysis is absolutely spot-on.
