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 […]
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 […]
BRICS MEMBERSHIP LIKELY TO BE INCREASED IN INDIA
More than 30 countries are said to have applied for a full membership of BRICS, signaling the growing significance of the strategic bloc in international relations.

APPEAL TO POPE LEO XIV TO ORGANIZE A GLOBAL LEADERS SUMMIT
The following open letter to Pope Leo XIV was issued on August 19: We appeal to you, Pope Leo, as the leader who has made the greatest effort to speak for humanity as a whole, instead of for specific nations, religions, or constituencies, to call for an emergency international summit to guide the world away […]
THE ART OF REVERSING OUR CRIMINAL COURSE
Today, August 6,is the 81st anniversary of the actually unnecessary dropping of the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Even as thermonuclear war is being more seriously—and madly—discussed as “more thinkable” than at any time since October 1962, there is still “good news,” of a sort. That good news has been expressed in […]
ON THE 81ST ANNIVERSARY OF HIROSHIMA, WE ARE CLOSER TO A GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY
The American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche was incessantly slandered and vilified for holding “apocalyptic views” on the dangers facing humanity. Today, 50 years later, what LaRouche warned about is front and center reality on the strategic stage: the twin dangers of onrushing nuclear war, encouraged by the active promotion in London and Washington of […]
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 […]
SILENCING THE TRUTH TELLERS WILL NOT CHANGE REALITY
Things are not going so well for the Epstein class right now. President Trump had threatened a massive military escalation on Iran, which has not yet occurred. According to the New York Times and other media outlets, this may be because the United States lacks sufficient military supplies to wage such an attack. But don’t […]
RUBIO’S STATE DEPT. ISSUES ‘ENEMIES LIST’ OF U.S. ‘CUBAN AGENTS’
Joe McCarthy has been reincarnated as Marco Rubio. On July 20, Rubio’s State Department issued a 100-page report, titled “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism,” for the dual purpose of both stepping-up judicial and other measures to crush the growing opposition in the U.S. to the Trump administration’s assaults on foreign countries and immigrants […]
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. Without estimating the total attendance to the call, there were at […]
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 […]
