DEVELOPMENT IS THE NEW NAME FOR PEACE: THE SUMMIT THAT SHOULD BE
In October 1965 Paul VI became the first pope to address the United Nations General Assembly. He quoted an American president murdered less than two years earlier: “Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.” He cited Isaiah on beating swords into plowshares. Two years later, in Populorum […]
NEVER BEFORE, AND NEVER AGAIN
Never before today has humanity stood so close to the precipice of our own avoidable annihilation, and never so close to being able to achieve a lasting solution to the causes of the crisis that has brought us to that precipice. Last October 20th, Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence agency, warned: […]
THE PHASE CHANGE
Heat water and nothing appears to happen—until it reaches its boiling point and becomes something else entirely. That is a phase change, and it is what Helga Zepp-LaRouche says the world is now facing: “A phase change has to occur one way or another, because the existing trajectory is coming to an end.” The Iran […]

WORLD WAR 111 ‘IN PIECES’ OR NEW ARCHITECTURE IN EARNEST
Like a drunken Pete Hegseth stumbling back from a post-football game frat party, the world lurched, almost uncontrollably, toward a new and dangerous phase this week. After Ukraine struck an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea on July 25, killing one sailor and injuring others, these two conflicts threatened to morph into something new […]
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. And days in which our leading candidates and their preventive solutions—including economic development—have stepped up their mobilization. The leaders of Britain and Ukraine, which have […]
IS ZELENSKY TRYING TO JOIN U.S. WAR AGAINST IRAN?
Saturday, in a post on X bragging about long range Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky, the acting president of Ukraine, also included the following: “We also achieved very strong results with long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea—including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.” Reuters, citing the […]
THREATS TO BLACK SEA GRAIN EXPORTS GROW, AS RUSSIA RETALIATES AGAINST UKRAINIAN PORTS
Shipping via the Don River-Sea of Azov-Black Sea route, which handles roughly a quarter of Russia’s grain exports, as EIR reported yesterday, remains suspended in the wake of the Kiev regime’s nine-day drone-strike campaign against commercial shipping in the Sea of Azov. In retaliation, Russia fired a major missile barrage the night of July 15-16, […]
UKRAINE ESCALATES ATTACK ON NUCLEAR PLANT, ASSASSINATING THE HEAD OF SAFETY
Ukraine is now in the business of assassinating those in charge of safety at nuclear power plants. Late Wednesday night, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated: “On July 15, Ukraine committed yet another bloody crime, deliberately directing drones to strike a Zaporozhskaya NPP service vehicle carrying Chief Engineer of the NPP Alexander Yakovlev. His professional activities […]
ZELENSKY’S LATEST DUMPING OF MINISTERS CREATES TURMOIL
The acting president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, kicked off this week with his ritualistic “reshuffling” of the government. It began with the dumping of his third Prime Minister (PM), Yulia Svyrydenko. She would have made it to a full year on Friday. Since then, the man she replaced, Denys Shmyhal, has been reshuffled twice—as Defense […]

LAVROV: “WE NO LONGER BELIEVE THE WEST”
Both Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in separate presentations, are making clear, in explicitly forthright language, that the West can no longer be trusted. When the West makes calls for peace, it is actually issuing ultimatums for war, reported Lavrov. The West, said Zakharova, is complicit in terrorism […]
