STRATEGIC ALERT Service

The U.S. electorate has been left with its head spinning, reeling from one shock after another, as the long-running soap opera of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election continues. Since the June 27 “debate”, when President Biden spent the first hour fumbling, while appearing to be in a frail, near-catatonic state, the calls for him to step down escalated, coming from […]

Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is investigating the security failures that allowed a young man to fire on Donald Trump on July 13. Following the incident, Johnson’s office reportedly began compiling a preliminary report, which quickly revealed enormous security holes and other grave errors on the part of the Secret Service, which is the highly specialized federal agency responsible […]

As the European Parliament crowned Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission for a second term, the European Union demonstrated more than ever its character of a totalitarian state.

At an event July 19, Brazilian President Lula da Silva announced that his government was preparing a proposal for his country to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The following statement was released on July 15 by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, chairwoman of the Schiller Institute: “The world is still in a state of shock. The only reason the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump failed, was because of the extremely accidental movement of his head by a fraction of an inch, so that his ear, and not his […]

The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a campaign rally on July 13 was, unfortunately, not something unexpected. As the 2024 campaign unfolded, the angry rhetoric on both sides became more virulent.
