“We have a 1930’s style deflationary depression, which is what happens if we keep raising interest rates. Or, a Weimar Germany kind of hyperinflation, which is what happens if we try to inflate our way out of our current debt problems. And that’s it. This is not something on the distant horizon anymore. It’s something right here staring us in […]

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, issued the following statement on Feb. 8, in response to the revelations on the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines published by Seymour Hersh (cf. the next item). An article just published by the well-known U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh describes with meticulous accuracy how U.S. President Joe Biden had the gas pipelines […]

The “story” of the Nord Stream explosion exposed by authoritative investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, although largely pooh-poohed by the transatlantic Establishment, is explosive and will not go away (cf. above). The destruction of such a vital infrastructure constitutes, by all international standards, an act of war. And yet, over four months later, the German government has still not disclosed any […]

The efforts to build a grass roots anti-war movement in the transatlantic world are gaining momentum in the run-up to the mass demonstrations and rallies that are planned for the weekends of Feb. 18 and 25 (cf. SAS 6/23). The revelations on the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, combined with Global NATO’s push to supply more and more sophisticated […]

A “surprise” visit to Europe by a well-rehearsed Volodymyr Zelenskyy was staged last week to step up the war drive. It began in great pomp in the place which has done the most to keep the war on Russia going, namely London, where the Ukrainian President met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, gave a speech before a joint session […]

During President Zelenskyy’s speech to the British parliament, he gave special praise to “Boris” for organizing support for Kyiv “from day one” (he was still Prime Minister at the time). Johnson responded by calling for delivery of all the “extra equipment they need to defeat Putin”. “That means longer range missiles and artillery. It means more tanks. It means planes. […]

One section of the Schiller Institute conference of Feb. 4 was dedicated to the development of Africa, and more especially to cooperation with China (see https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2023/02/03/). One of the speakers was Ugandan Attorney Elison Karuhanga, an expert in energy law, who gave a very polemical presentation on “Uganda’s Oil Project and Energy Independence”. His country has discovered oil fields having […]

Several days before Seymour Hersh’s article appeared (cf. above), the prestigious Columbia Journalism Review ran a 24,000 word article by former New York Times (NYT) reporter Jeff Gerth, which eviscerates the coverage of “Russiagate” in the U.S mainstream media. Titled simply “The press versus the president”, the article focuses especially on the NYT and Washington Post (WaPo), which shared a […]

The priority of the moment is to mobilize all possible forces to stop the danger of an escalation of the conflict between Russia and NATO into a third world war, as the Doomsday Clock puts us at 90 seconds to Armageddon. Concomitantly, comes the necessity of eliminating the reasons for the war drive against both Russia and China, namely the […]

An unprecedented rally will take place in Washington on Feb. 19 to protest NATO’s war drive under the banner “Rage Against the War Machine”. Unprecedented, as it’s organized by a very broad-based right-left coalition, bringing together people from the entire political spectrum, who are opposed to war. Sister rallies will also be held in many other U.S. cities, followed by […]
