The following open letter was released by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, on Sept. 20, and distributed to delegations at the United Nations General Assembly, last week in New York City, and beyond. Who can deny that the protection of World Peace is the most important obligation of governments? Two World Wars in the 20th century, and the […]

Four German experts have released an in-depth proposal for ending the war in Ukraine before it spirals out of control. First released Aug. 28, their analysis makes reference to the Chinese peace proposal from Feb. 24 of this year, which offers “a reasonable approach” to negotiations, but builds on it substantially in what is likely the most thorough plan thus far. The […]

A new study by the Institute of International Finance (IIF) reports that global debt has reached a new high of $307 trillion. However, this category leaves out financial derivatives, which are an estimated five times as much to be added to that sum, bringing the total outstanding financial aggregates to close to $2 quadrillion, according to EIR’s estimates. A Sept. […]

Immigration is becoming the number one issue in the European Union, as the election campaign for the European Parliament gets underway. The strategy of the pro-atlanticist EU leadership seems to be that of polarizing factions between two false narratives and false “solutions”, so as to be able to control the result. Thus, given the increasing number of irregular migrants arriving […]

In addition to the numerous warnings about the de-industrialization of Germany, evidenced in the severe decline of the automotive, construction and chemical sectors, the future political stability of the country is increasingly called into question. The continuous erosion of the approval ratings of five of the six parties in the Bundestag, and the continuous rise of those for the sixth […]

From the beginning of the Biden administration’s commitment to participate in the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, both parties in Congress have stuck to the narrative handed down to them by the “Military Industrial Complex”: Vladimir Putin’s actions were unprovoked and Ukraine is the test case for preserving democracy, therefore, the cost is worth it. The corollary, increasingly voiced, […]

The media flap which emerged when Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk was excerpted in the Washington Post on Sept. 7 provoked significant reactions over what had actually happened. The excerpt claimed that Musk had “deactivated” the Starlink satellite system coverage of the Black Sea, which prevented a Ukrainian attack on Russia’s Black Sea fleet in September 2022. Musk later […]

That the era of colonialism is finally coming to an end, as presented in the open letter to the United Nations General Assembly above, was expressed by a number of speakers from the Global South at this year’s gathering, in particular those from Africa. That gave a sense of optimism to the debates, which are traditionally quie formal. As Egypt’s […]

This year’s UN General Assembly, running from Sept. 19 to 26, should turn out to be less humdrum than previous such occasions. Leaders from over 140 countries are attending, although Presidents Xi, Putin and Macron and UK Prime Minister Sunak are not among them, which makes four out of the five permanent members of the Security Council. More interesting than […]

The two-day summit of the G77+China in Havana ended Sept. 16 with the issuance of a final declaration on “Current Development Challenges: the Role of Science, Technology and Innovation”, which calls for the “comprehensive reform of the international financial architecture” and a “more inclusive and coordinated approach to global financial governance with greater emphasis on cooperation among countries.” In opening […]
