TRUMP TELLS AMERICANS, ‘LET THEM EAT CAKE!’

U.S. President Donald Trump yesterday showed indifference to Americans suffering the economic hardships resulting from his unprovoked war of aggression on Iran.

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 […]

ACTING ON POTENTIAL

Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters on May 9 that “intensified” contact between Washington and Moscow over the recent days had led to the ceasefire agreement brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump the day before. Clearly, the danger represented by Kiev’s threat to attack Moscow’s May 9 Victory Day parade and Russia’s promise of […]

UN SECURITY COUNCIL’S VETO POWERS BITE BACK THE US

This week, the UN Security Council is expected to debate a draft resolution on Iran and its spectacular closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a choke-point that continues to devastate the global economy. The constant rise in oil prices as a result of the Middle East crisis can be felt far and near. The closure […]

81 YEARS LATER: HUMANITY AT A CROSSROADS

May 8 in the West, and May 9 in Russia, marks the anniversary of the victory over fascism in Europe in World War II. Though a distant event for many alive today, much of today’s world was formed in its wake, including the current UN-centered order—despite the attempt to corrupt it with the barbaric dropping […]

NOOSE TIGHTENS AROUND THE NECK OF HUMANITY

Over the past 30 hours, the United States escalated the conflict in its war against Iran, when U.S. President Donald Trump on May 2 declared that U.S. “Project Freedom” would begin today, for the U.S. military to control transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. CentCom statement declared that the U.S. Navy will provide […]

TRUMP’S CANTANKEROUS LEADERSHIP A BAD OMEN FOR WORLD PEACE

Claims about the activities of the US government-aligned institutions such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, among others, give credence to discourse about a systematic fermentation of chaos in international relations. USAID has been whittled down since the triumphant return of President Donald Trump to the White House. Trump ascended to the […]

A NEW START, FOR PEACE OR WAR

Our reports below, this morning, illuminate two realities: The world economy is being broken down by wars, embargos, sanctions, punitive tariffs, even genocide—every form of economic and military punishment which leaders of major nations can impose on others; heavily armed on less armed; nuclear nations on non-nuclear. Humanity is on the verge of a world […]

APPOINTMENT OF ROELF MEYER AS ENVOY TO THE US “LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED”

The announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that he has appointed former apartheid-era government kingpin Roelf Meyer as South Africa’s ambassador to the US is a hard pill to swallow. Our President: a gentle soul, whose love for our country is beyond reproach. A lawyer by profession and former trade unionist whose stature rose like a […]

‘WE’RE CUTTING FOOD, DAYCARE, AND MEDICARE BECAUSE WE’RE AT WAR TO PROTECT YOU’

In his April 1st press conference, President Trump wasn’t fooling. He said: “it’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal—we have to take care of one thing. Military protection. We have to […]
