WHO’S CRAZY ENOUGH TO DELIBERATELY CUT OFF 10% OF WORLD WHEAT SUPPLIES, ON TOP OF 20% OF WORLD OIL?
The City of London and Wall Street, that’s who. Over the last week, the twin wars in Ukraine and Iran have each escalated and spread dramatically.

NOT BABEL, BUT THE BEAUTIFUL CITY
If the United States ceases to exist, perhaps in a thermonuclear mushroom cloud generated by one or another NATO-instigated conflict, it will not be because of any aggression against it, or its trans-Atlantic “allies.” The United States will cease to exist, because it chose to stop existing. It chose to dress itself in the trappings […]
THE SCHACHTIAN DILEMMA: CONQUER OR COLLAPSE
The overriding theme of the just-concluded Schiller Institute conference in Berlin, Helga Zepp-LaRouche explained in her weekly webcast today, was the “unbelievable indifference” being shown by most European governments to the extreme danger for all Mankind that their own actions have created by driving relentlessly for war with Russia—a war which will inevitably be nuclear, […]
NOT THE DELUGE, BUT THE OASIS

THE BACKDROP TO THE TRUMP-XI SUMMIT
“In the case of the actualization of the presently onrushing general monetary-financial blow-out,” Lyndon LaRouche wrote in November 2004, “all of the sundry elements of a complexly integrated world system, including the most notable nations of Asia, would be plunged into chaos in a way most nearly resembling the plunge of Fourteenth Century Europe into […]
