While it is welcome news that President Biden called Russian Pres. Putin yesterday to propose a summit between the two "in the coming months", his foreign policy team continues a provocative push against Russia in Ukraine, while the U.S.-initiated "Caesar Sanctions" are increasing the death toll in Syria.  Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp LaRouche has called for an urgent mobilization against the genocidal consequences of the war drive against Russia from Ukraine, and to lift the sanctions against the Syrian people.  

Helga Zepp-LaRouche spoke with a group of supporters and members of the Schiller Institute on Monday:

Let me greet all of you.

Actually, I’m a little bit distraught, because if you look at the world situation, it’s really going from bad to worse. We have a very worrisome escalation between Ukraine and Russia, which is really not just Ukraine, it’s actually really NATO, and this is a whole conflict which, if things go wrong, could really lead to war. And that is not an exaggeration. I don’t want to focus on that; I just want to identify it as one of the many problems of the world.

Then, also the situation between the United States and China over Taiwan, in particular, is also heating up tremendously.

But I want to focus on something else:

The IMF and the World Bank, in a new report issued March 26 on their planned “lending” activities, have taken the people-killing effects of the global “Green New Deal” (or “Great Reset”) to an even nastier level. The report is called “World Bank/IMF Support for Debt Relief under the Common Framework and Beyond” and its first paragraph says, “We need to make sure we do not lose sight of green and inclusive reforms because of … a looming debt crisis.” It makes clear that what debt suspension has been granted to developing countries during the pandemic economic collapse, will now depend on “debt for climate swaps,” where they have to trade closing their fossil fuel power plants, for example, in exchange for the debt relief. 

A quick survey of today's world indicates that most people in the so-called advanced sector are indifferent in the face of mass murder being perpetrated in their names, or feel impotent to do anything about it. There is no question that the sanctions policies imposed by western governments are killing people; yet regime change wars continue, while the War Hawks are creating provocations against Russia and China which could lead to hot wars, and a global Green New Deal is being implemented to destroy the physical economy needed to sustain life. There is now a great potential to build a global anti-Malthusian movement, to take power away from the neo-con/neoliberal killers, and instead initiate a process of real economic development. Join with the Schiller Institute, and our Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites -- this is a fight for justice which we must win!

Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General, lawyer for Lyndon LaRouche, and a leader in the fight against injustice, has passed away.  As we celebrate his life, let us be inspired by his courage, and his impassioned devotion to principle.  Such inspiration is necessary today, as we must mobilize to defeat the evil intent of the little people in charge of the Biden administration and NATO, who operate on behalf of the establishment, representing the interests of corporate cartels.  They are engaged in a dangerous provocation in Ukraine, and an all-out effort to prevent economic development of the poorer nations in the world.

President Biden’s “climate ambassador” John Kerry will take his pitch for “zero carbon” to China this week, after a visit to India last week which would thankfully have to be called a failure. India’s Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Energy Minister Raj Kumar Singh said Kerry could have his general global carbon reduction goal but India would not let any specific “zero carbon” demand be applied to India or any other developing country; those nations need development and industrialization. As politely as they may have put it to him, Kerry knew he didn’t get what Biden or Prince Charles and the central bankers wanted, and India has made itself one flagbearer for a worldwide anti-Malthusian resistance.

The Biden administration is engaging in aggressive, thumb-in-your-eye provocations against Russia and China, almost as if to force them to respond around Ukraine and Taiwan and thereby have an excuse for war. And predictably, various U.S. media outlets are turning around and blaming Russia and China for the escalating tensions.

Join us LIVE on Sunday at 11am EDT. Dennis Speed introduces two excerpts from addresses by Lyndon LaRouche to the future of the LaRouche movement in 2002. Topics covered include the issue of Hamlet in society, classical culture and one's commitment to loving ALL of mankind.

April 9 — Following the regime change coup in February 2014 which toppled the elected government of Ukraine — which could not have occurred without the open support of the United States and governments in NATO — Russian leaders repeatedly warned that the entry of Ukraine into NATO was a "red line," which Russia could not allow. The steady eastward expansion of NATO, following the peaceful disbanding of the Warsaw Pact military alliance in 1991, broke pledges given to Soviet leaders that there was no intention to move NATO forces closer to the borders of Russia.

It is quite possible that the terrible complex of crises which now stare humanity squarely in the face—the dramatically escalating flashpoint of war in Ukraine, the race to vaccinate billions of people against COVID-19, the terrible famine threatening to kill millions of people in the immediate months, the growing risk of blowout of the financial system—will mark the onset of a new, deep dark age. However, unless, like the finally deceased Prince Philip, you believe that we are mere animals, a completely different fate is equally possible—if we have the moral will to change course.
