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
Before the world descends into a maelstrom of total war, from which human civilization itself may not emerge, a different path must needs be taken.

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 […]

STANDING UP TO THE EMPIRE’S BLACKMAIL — AND OFFERING A NEW PARADIGM INSTEAD
Scarcely 13 hours before the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow was scheduled to begin, celebrating the 81st anniversary of the Allied defeat of fascism in World War II, U.S. President Donald Trump pressured Ukraine’s erstwhile president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stand down from his wildly provocative May 4 threat to attack that Victory Day […]

THE DAVOS SCRAMBLE TO REPLACE THE COLLAPSING INSTITUTIONS OF THE WEST
It’s hard to find a major national or international institution that isn’t already in shambles, or that is about to collapse like buildings struck by a Richter 9 major earthquake. Few are willing to admit that fact; fewer still understand its cause. Lyndon LaRouche published a lengthy article on February 25, 1994, “The Science of Physical Economy […]
