SOME OTHER NEW NAMES FOR PEACE
In Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with Pavel Zarubin for the Kremlin TV site on Saturday, he certainly made clear that he understood that the war aiming to “collapse” Russia’s economy is a war organized and intended by the nations of NATO; in other words, that it can become a world war in which Russia’s […]

DIESEL/FOOD CRISIS: THE ‘SPREAD’ BETWEEN CRUDE AND DIESEL HAS EXPLODED
While most attention is on the rising price of crude oil, the prices of refined products are far worse, and show the real price effects of “demand destruction” wherein industries and countries cut refined production and thereby squeeze prices up. Paradoxically, this tends to reduce the pressure on crude oil prices to rise: While a […]
WALL STREET STARTING TO DISOWN U.S. TREASURIES?
At least one Wall Street bank “investment strategist,” a fellow named Kevin Hartnett of Bank of America, is warning investors against U.S. Treasuries because of the increasing stress on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in trying to finance the $40 trillion Federal debt, according to yahoo!finance, which usually picks up such items from Bloomberg News.

TREASURY DEBT HITTING $40 TRILLION, KEEPS ‘SHORT-TERMING’
The U.S. Treasury’s total Federal debt will reach $40 trillion (about $32 trillion publicly held) in approximately two weeks, and it has raised its estimate of new debt to be issued in the third quarter of 2026, from $671 billion (estimated in May) to $739 billion.

CHINA RETALIATES IMMEDIATELY AGAINST U.S. SANCTIONS
China’s Commerce Ministry quickly announced new controls on drone exports to the United States (it is America’s largest supplier of drones) and banned six American entities following an FCC move to ban imports of foreign-made robots and power inverters.

WILL IRAN SAVE THE U.S. MARKETS?
Iran and Oman are nearing a “deal” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but have been negotiating without the United States, although that hasn’t stopped President Trump from trying to take credit for the possible outcome.

AS MANY AS 3 MILLION IMMIGRANTS DEPORTED UNDER TRUMP’S SECOND TERM
Just to make “official,” what has happened to the American labor force over the past two years, the Department of Homeland Security reported at the end of May that “more than 3 million illegal aliens” had self-deported or been deported during the second term of President Donald Trump.

WHAT STANDS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND WORLD WAR III
These have been days in which the fires which could set off a nuclear World War III, have begun to spread from their “cockpits of war,” to involve other nations.

SCHILLER INSTITUTE’S YOUTH MOVEMENT MAKES A BREAKTHROUGH
Saturday’s discussion with youth recruits around the world, by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche and former South Africa Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor, marked definite progress in the representation of youth, as Helga herself noted during the four hours of multiple presentations, questions, and deliberation.

STOP THE DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FROM INDICTING THE NATION
This week we are called upon for action. This is the week that can be decisive in shifting the behavior of Congress, by rallies and a steady barrage of calls demanding rejection of the “Israeli-U.S. partnership” pieces of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Sections 219 in the House version and 1217 in the Senate […]
WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICAN LABOUR FORCE KEEPS SHRINKING
When the June employment report of the Labor Department came in far below “economists’ expectations,” those same economists grabbed at “theories” like low leisure and hospitality jobs meaning Americans were eating out less, etc. They might instead have looked to health care, wherein annual growth of 1 million jobs/year since 2019, dropped sharply to 800,000 […]
