The FBI raid on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s home has ignited a firestorm of protest, due as much to the failure to provide an adequate explanation of why it was launched, as to the unprecedented nature of the move itself. No President in U.S. history has ever been the target of such a legal action. The announced purpose was […]

The actual precedent for the targeting of former President Trump was the years-long DOJ/FBI persecution of Lyndon LaRouche, which included a much larger raid on LaRouche’s home on October 6-7, 1986, in which armed FBI agents were deployed among more than 400 law enforcement officials. The immediate cause of that raid was to stop LaRouche’s role, on behalf of President […]

So far, very few sources, other than this newsletter, have exposed the real mechanism of energy price inflation: the gambling casino called the Title Transfer Facility, also known as the gas exchange market in Amsterdam (cf. SAS 27/22). European governments have kept a mafia-like omertà on the issue, only addressing secondary aspects of it, when discussing energy costs. A crack […]

The trade balance of large European countries dramatically collapsed in the first six months of 2022, condemning “export champions” to becoming export-deficit nations. In Germany, the largest EU economy, exports decreased by 13%, while imports increased by 27%. The trade surplus plunged from €96 to €36 billion year on year. Imports of energy from Russia were down by 24%, but […]

A deflagration of the latent conflict at the Serbia-Kosovo border was temporarily defused at the beginning of August, when the Pristina government suspended for one month, under EU and US pressure, the introduction of a license plate regulation for ethnic Serbs. Nonethless, the Balkans remain a powder keg, to which some are ready to put a spark. While many connect […]

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was off to a tour of Africa last week with the proclaimed aim of countering Russian and Chinese influence on the continent. While in South Africa on Aug. 8, the Biden Administration’s chief diplomat lectured his hosts on the need to clearly break with Russia over the “invasion” of Ukraine and to beware of […]

At her public press conference with Antony Blinken on Aug. 8, South Africa’s Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor, was asked by a journalist about those that want to force Africa to choose between Russia and China or the West. She mentioned in her answer that “in our interaction with some of our partners in Europe and elsewhere, there has been a […]

As a result of the vigorous international mobilization, catalyzed by the Schiller Institute and taken up by other individuals from different political orientations, Kiev’s “Center for Countering Disinformation” (CCD) has removed from its website its blacklist of over 70 international figures accused of spreading “Russian propaganda” and being “information terrorists” (cf. SAS 31, 32/22). The CCD, which is funded by […]

“The world needed Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan like it needs a new global pandemic”, is how Helga Zepp-LaRouche characterized the visit of the Speaker of U.S. House of Representatives to Taipei on Aug. 1 (cf. SAS 31/22). With Pelosi’s grandstanding, the United States de facto violated its official commitment to the One China policy and clearly signalled its support […]

With consumer price inflation (CPI) reaching the worrisome level of nearly 9% in the Eurozone, one should look at Producer Price Inflation (PPI) to see what the coming months hold in store. Indeed, as producers grapple with increased production costs, it takes some time before they pass them on to consumers. Initially, they try to cut corners wherever possible to […]
