Webcast: The Dangerous Intentions of Prince Charles’ COP26

In reviewing events of the last week, Helga Zepp-LaRouche kept returning to the theme that the actions of western countries — at the COP26 and G20, regarding the deepening crisis facing Haiti and Afghanistan, threats against Russia and China — are ultimately self-destructive. She used the example of the rejection of real science by participants at COP26, in favor of formulas for depopulation, as evidence of this; and the push for drug legalization, which is being implemented in the west, which is destroying the cognitive potential of young people.

The hyperinflation of food and energy costs is having real effects. She pointed to the defeat of Democrats in Virginia, and the close vote in New Jersey, as evidence that the failure of the Biden administration to keep election promises is having consequences. She called on viewers to support the Schiller Institute’s Ibn Sina Project as a way they can make a difference, by taking action to save lives in Afghanistan. Participation in the November 13-14 Schiller Institute conference is therefore more important than ever, as it will feature the kind of open, serious deliberation which is suppressed in the western media and institutions.


Webcast: The “Dead Souls” of the Trans-Atlantic World Must Be Replaced by Those Committed to Develop the Beauty of the Human Mind

The Schiller Institute conference on May 8 offered a proof of principle that people can be mobilized by an appeal to the higher humanity which resides in all humans.  Helga Zepp LaRouche reviewed the many dangers facing mankind: of war — including a real possibility of nuclear war; famine, created by sanctions and deliberate refusal to fund development; of an out-of-control pandemic, as in India, and many other nations lacking a modern health care system; and of the devastating effects of growing inflation, which destroy people’s life-work and the ability of families to survive.
But she pointed to the dialogue which occurred during the two panels, which demonstrates a willingness to grapple with profound questions, and to the role of the Schiller Institute in creating a forum for building support for solutions.  She also highly recommended a video of Minister Louis Farrakhan performing the Beethoven Violin Concerto, as an example of how an act of creativity can inspire the quality of agape needed to break free of the Darwinian world imposed by those oligarchs who she characterized as possessed of “dead souls.”

Webcast: German Parties Betray the Voters with Green Nonsense and Drive Energy Hyperinflation

In reviewing the results from the German election, Helga Zepp-LaRouche spoke of the denial of reality in the campaign, saying the candidates acted as though the real world does not exist.  Instead, the leading vote getters spoke of almost nothing but “climate change” and the Green agenda, broken only by a push for “Global NATO”, in a drive for geopolitical confrontation with Russia and China.  In this, the campaign was a “betrayal of the voters”.  In the real world, she pointed to the hyperinflation in energy, especially in Europe, as an example of what will come, if the Green New Deal is not replaced by a concerted effort to bring on into full existence of a New Paradigm, which is being led by the LaRouche movement.

There are also positive signs internationally. She pointed to Lavrov’s UNGA speech, which she described as a clear counter to the Rules-Based Order, with his emphasis on the U.N. Charter as the basis for international law. On economics, Xi from China devoted his speech to the UNGA to putting forward an economic alternative, with his Global Development Initiative. She also spoke of the conference convened by Jacques Cheminade in Paris, which featured four presidential candidates joining us in a dialogue on soverignty.


Someone Doesn’t Want You To Know About the Schiller Institute

Schiller Institute YouTube Strike Response

A YouTube video from ten months ago is being used in an attempt to censor the Schiller Institute just days before its November 13-14 international conference! But the conference is NOT cancelled. You can still participate this weekend on schilllerinstitute.com. 

Early in the morning on Wednesday, November 10, the Schiller Institute was informed that YouTube, after having “reviewed your content,” has concluded that “unfortunately, we think it violates our Community Guidelines.” The Schiller Institute has therefore been banned from YouTube for one week and thus cannot use the platform to stream its conference this weekend.

Entitled “A More Perfect Union through the Coincidence of Opposites: MLK and the American Presidency,” the banned video was posted on January 18, 2021, ten months ago, but has only now been taken down.

The video is a three-hour discussion among participants of varying political persuasions about issues surrounding American elections, decisions by “big tech” about which voices to allow and which to suppress, and the non-violent creation of a more perfect union. Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s speech was titled “Beauty Over Violence: Beethoven, Schiller, and the Idea of the Sublime.” Video excerpts from civil rights leaders were presented in a segment called “Love Conquers Hate: A Schiller Institute 1995 Conference on Creative, Non-Violent Direct Action.”

Absurdly, YouTube claims that the Schiller Institute event violates its policy on “harassment and cyberbullying,” defined as “content glorifying or inciting acts of violence.” This is preposterous.

Although the video is gone, you can read this EIR report on the event.

The Schiller Institute is appealing YouTube’s decision and will be arranging alternative streaming arrangements for its November 13-14 event.  The event will still be live streamed on schillerinstitute.com

Fight back against censorship by spreading the word about this weekend’s event, “All Moral Resources of Humanity Have To Be Called Up: Mankind Must Be the Immortal Species!” Defeat Big Tech by co-streaming it on your own platform.

Live Event: Reconstructing Haiti is America’s Way Out of the “Global Britain” Trap

Join us LIVE on Saturday, September 25 at 2pm EDT.

Before the United States is drawn even more deeply into the geopolitical underworld by “Global Britain’s” 19th century’s Indo-Pacific adventure, the just announced Australia/United Kingdom/United States “Orcus Pact,” it might be wise to stop and think. Earlier this week, with regard to Global Britain, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev said, “the English for centuries pushed the Scots into the mountain regions, used cheap Welsh labor and brought Irish people to the colonies in the capacity of slaves.”

“These people for centuries were treated with no less contempt than the Africans or Asians subjugated by Britain.”

The best way to reverse the new disastrous course is to reverse the singular depraved indifference of current United States policy expressed in two areas: Afghanistan and Haiti. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen should release Afghanistan’s 9 billion dollars to prevent the starvation of 14 million people. Haiti, similarly oppressed by unjust monetary policies as punishment for its successful revolution, must be immediately reconstructed . Richard Freeman of Executive Intelligence Review will discuss the release of a comprehensive program for Haitian Reconstruction, followed by discussion. There will also be a report on developments at the United Nations in this past week, as well as an update on Afghanistan.


Webcast: A Unique Opportunity to Participate in Creating a Necessary, New Paradigm

In reviewing the global strategic situation today, Schiller Institute leader Helga Zepp LaRouche spoke of the significance of more voices speaking out, echoing her warning of the danger of a nuclear war being provoked by the geopolitical maneuvers by the TransAtlantic establishment. Even Henry Kissinger, long a spokesman for this faction, warned that this is different, and more dangerous, than the threats of nuclear war during the period of the Cold War. Zepp LaRouche said the erosion of trust and the lack of back channels, combined with new weapon capabilities, makes this an extremely perilous moment. She highlighted the widespread use of sanctions, which are illegal under international law in the way they are being applied, as an example of why diplomacy and dialogue must replace unilateralism in international relations.

This will be the general topic of the first panel of the Schiller Institute conference on May 8. The second panel will take up the urgent necessity of addressing the COVID pandemic through a commitment to create a modern health system in every nation — this can occur only by rejecting the present paradigm, defined by neo-liberal economics and imperial geopolitics, and reasserting international law, which begins with the primacy of cooperation for development among sovereign states. This approach is being developed by the Committee on the Coincidence of Opposites.

She concluded by reflecting on the recent Schiller conferences, which were unique in that the principle of statecraft guiding the discussions is based on the concept of Schiller, that the dialogue begins by addressing the better part of human beings; and operating from the standpoint of “truth seeking…through Socratic dialogue.” She urged all the viewers to register for the conference, and participate in the building of the New Paradigm.


Webcast: Two Contrasting Paradigms: Depraved Indifference Versus Happiness of the People

In reviewing developments of the last days, Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that the battle between two mutually irreconcilable outlooks is escalating. This can be seen in the depraved indifference of the U.S., the U.K. and their NATO allies in response to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan — which they caused — in contrast to the efforts underway by Afghanistan’s neighbors, using joint projects coordinated by the SCO, the BRICS, and the BRI for economic development of the war-torn country. It can be seen in the disgusting deportation of Haitian refugees, who are being sent back to a country which lacks the means to care for them, due to a recent succession of natural disasters. It can be seen by comparing the speeches of Biden and Xi Jinping at the UNGA meeting. And it can be seen by the escalation of regime change operations being directed by British intelligence against Russia and China.

An attitude of depraved indifference is not consistent with the founding principles of the United States. She said, “We have lost our way.” Instead of imposing policies which are neo-colonial, with a Malthusian intent, “We must raise our voices,” and return to those principles, adopted by the Founding Fathers, which commit the government to concern itself with the “Happiness of the people.”


United Nations “World Food Systems Summit”— Is Global Depopulation What’s Really on The Menu?

 

PDF of this statement

Sometimes, obscenity is most luridly displayed in the form of what is “hidden in plain view.” The normally unspoken premise, that the world’s population must be radically reduced “by any means necessary,” and with which many at the UN and its non-governmental organizations tacitly agree, was once openly expressed in 1991 in the words of Alexander King, in the Club of Rome’s “The First Global Revolution:”

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” 

If fewer people is the unspoken goal, control of food production and supply is essential. Those self-selected “park rangers for the human race,” including Ubermenschen like 60-billion dollar Mike Bloomberg, UN Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions, and Mark Carney, 2019 Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance and the former Governor of the Bank of England, believe that they can use “financial regime change” to corral many nations of Africa, Asia and Ibero-America into submission.

The “green elites” claim they possess superior knowledge about the planet, giving them the right to change the behavior of “inferior societies,” almost always located in the Southern hemisphere. Henry Kissinger, whose 1974 NSSM-200 report, “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests, asked, “Would food be considered an instrument of national power? … Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can’t/won’t control their population growth?” He would have applauded their answer.

Various globalist committees have assumed the responsibility to cleanse the planet of the unfit, the poor, infirm and inconvenient, who are now no longer even referred to as people– they are merely “carbon footprints.” The “green elect” must act, when the rest of humanity cannot, or will not.

In former times, this brutality was known by the term colonialism or neo-colonialism. Now, in the age of universal surveillance, it might be termed “cyber-colonialism,” or  “crypto-colonialism,” etc.   So, the intent to urgently rid the world of the “redundant, unwanted and unnecessary” people of Africa, South America and Asia, for example, is dressed up in the formal attire of “deep concern for the future of the planet,” and the need to “supervise backward nations, failed states and irresponsible environmental actors.” To clean up the dirty carbon footprint of the “great unwashed,” it may be necessary to place a friendly foot on their necks by using sanctions, including food as a weapon, “for the good of the Earth.” 

Now the United Nations is about to host a set of meetings where well-fed bureaucrats will pretend concern, but stick with their food weaponry. Doing this in the midst of a pandemic, with the imminent starvation of up to a half billion persons, and of the ongoing disruption of national borders throughout the planet, is an obscene display of what in U.S. criminal law, is “depraved indifference.” Under the Nuremberg Tribunal code, “they knew, or should have known.”   Grandiose declarations about issuing billions of doses of vaccines will do no good if the people who are supposed to be inoculated are already dead from starvation, dehydration, or exposure. The question is, is that underlying de-population process the actual intent?

One must ask that question, considering the lack of response that David Beasley of the World Food Program has received, to his repeated  pleas regarding Afghanistan, Haiti, and other nations that are either on the verge, or in the throes of catastrophes which can, in fact, be either averted or alleviated. The idiocy of not providing the most vulnerable areas of the world with the most help possible, including at the onset of last year’s coronavirus pandemic. has already worsened the world’s condition for all of us in ways we do not have the information to yet know.  

A world health platform–clean water, food, medicine and the correlate emergency infrastructure required for their delivery, is the minimum physical pre-condition needed for the durable survival of every nation on the planet, no matter what their politics. That is the only human response.  This is also now our only sure way to not only “keep pace,” but get out ahead of the impending biological holocaust that mankind faces.

Economist Lyndon LaRouche’s May 7, 1985 essay, “The Role of Economic Science in Projecting Pandemics as a Feature of Advanced Stages of Economic Breakdown,” published in a Special Report issued by Executive Intelligence Review entitled Economic Breakdown and the Threat of Global Pandemics was distributed throughout the United Nations and to many other institutions a full 36 years ago. The emergency medical circumstances of 2020-21, therefore, does not “catch us by surprise.” Those from the UN and their respective governments were informed back at the time; they chose not to act. They were then guilty of depraved indifference, of malignant neglect.  

Mobilize the Food, The Farmers Know How

Today, the challenge is: Can the United Nations–can you–do any better? There is an immediate, life-saving test. Today, the world must drop everything–as it was caused to drop everything last year, when the pandemic erupted–and do what is necessary to feed, on an emergency basis, everyone on the planet that is presently food insecure, in every country on Earth. This takes a principled, anti-Malthusian act, but it also protects even the selfish on the planet from dying of unknown as well as known infections, suddenly imported and contracted from unknown sources. This effort requires use of most, if not all technological-productive capabilities available, agricultural and industrial.  This must be done in the service of humanity, and not a company, cartel, military establishment, or oligarchy intent on using food as a weapon. And collaborating on this food mobilization is the first step to establishing the cooperation required for a world health platform to successfully function.     

People are not responsible for the pandemic, earthquakes, or floods. They are not starving as a result of a specific crime–unless one thinks, as do the Malthusians, that “the crime was their being born.” The crime, rather, is holding conferences about “nature-based solutions to food production” and “world hunger summits,” as you ignore the death all around you. 
The world’s farmers, food aid distributors, and people are ready to accept the monumental task of an immediate, emergency feeding of all humanity. The place to begin is Afghanistan. It is an exemplary situation in which many nations once opposed to each other can in the words of Isaiah, “beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” If you feed the people, you suppress the appetite for war. We need, not a “Great Reset,” but a “Great Reversal” of policy, including food policy. We need a worldwide anti-Malthusian resistance. People come first! Join the Schiller Institute Committee for a Coincidence of Opposites in its campaign for a World Health Platform.


The Coming Fall of the Cult of Gaia — Helga Zepp-LaRouche Keynote Address to an International Youth Discussion

Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche and her co-thinkers are mobilizing true leaders on every continent—those who thirst for the knowledge of universal principle, such as the doctors, the classical artists, the scientists, the statesmen, and perhaps most importantly, the YOUTH—to inaugurate an Age of Reason, by the successful transformation of Afghanistan, and of Haiti. The people of Afghanistan and Haiti, and of so many nations across the world, face famine, disease, war—but worse, they face the “depraved indifference” of the governments and people of the United States, European countries, and many others, who ignore known solutions to vicious suffering and death, who ignore the success of China in lifting 850 million people out of extreme poverty, who ignore the fifty-year economic forecasting record of the late American economist and statesman, Lyndon H. LaRouche. Together, let us raise up a force of impassioned people, dedicated to righting these wrongs once and for all, so that we may say, truly, “Never again!”
