Paul Gallagher of Executive Intelligence Review documents the deliberate policy of hyperinflation followed by deflation practiced by Hjalmar Schacht, President of the [German] Central Bank (Reichsbank) 1933–1939. The same policy is being practiced today by Mark Carney, former head of the Bank of England, in a policy he calls “Regime Change,” which intends to subvert the power of sovereign governments and replace it with policies of central banks. The policy has only one conclusion as demonstrated in the horrors of Germany during WW2.
What does Biden’s Feb. 25 bombing, supposedly in self-defense, of targets inside Syria mean for the region and the world? Iraqi-Swedish political activist Hussein Askary, the Southwest Asia coordinator for the Schiller Institute, explains the bombing in the context of the potential for the Belt and Road Initiative to transform Southwest Asia, and his own efforts to create a citizen’s movement capable of understanding and demanding the economic policies that will give them a bright future.
In 2019, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel-Mahdi visited China with a large delegation and worked out arrangements whereby a small portion of Iraq’s oil exports could be used to secure credit from China for productive investments in such projects as ports and other major infrastructure, so desperately needed to create a full, growing economy. But the outbreak of a “color revolution” in Iraq upon Abdel-Mahdi’s return and the January 2020 murder of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi military leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis brought in a new government and ended, temporarily, the potential for the Iraq-China agreement.
But Askary had been setting the groundwork for a popular mobilization. In November 2019 he launched the Arabic LaRouche School of Physical Economics. He helped grow an Iraqi Facebook group devoted to infrastructure from 30,000 to 280,000 members, before it was deleted by Facebook in November 2020. He has continued to organize through numerous online communities, government contacts, and through the Iraqi media, and has helped to catalyze popular demonstrations in support of the Iraq-China agreement. “Will Iraqi youth be militiamen or engineers?” Askary provocatively asks.
The Biden administration’s strike on an alleged Iran-backed militia in Syria, in retaliation for a strike in Iraq, puts it on a course to escalate the endless and costly wars in the region launched by G.W. Bush and Obama. This is not in the interest of the U.S., but is being pushed by operatives deployed by the British Foreign Office, to keep the U.S. in these wars. These are the same networks that opposed Trump’s desire for cooperation with Russia and China as the way to end these wars, before War Hawks like Pompeo and Esper brought the U.S. back under the geopolitical umbrella. To reverse the dangerous direction such imperial geopolitics are intended to create, Lyndon LaRouche put forward his 4-Power Agreement, an alliance of the sovereign states of the U.S., Russia, China and India, which is powerful enough to to defeat the war drive of the Empire.
Join us LIVE on Sunday at 11am EST. Elliot Greenspan introduces Lyndon LaRouche’s 1994 keynote address to the Schiller Institute/ICLC President’s Day conference. The conference took place just weeks after Mr. LaRouche was released from his unjust incarceration.
Questions taken up today: 1.) Is Putin right when he said that, even if Russian forces sunk the HMS Defender, it would not lead to war? 2.) Do Europeans support the Green New Deal, as European Central Bank Chair Lagarde claims? Is it possible to have an honest debate on whether “climate change” is caused by human activities? 3.) Anything new to report on the status of Julian Assange? 4.) Is the 4th of July still relevant today?
As the global cartels pushing the deadly Great Reset and Green New Deal transformation are moving full-speed ahead, driven by desperation as their system is collapsing, the unique strategic solution to this civilizational crisis was provided by Lyndon LaRouche in his Four Power Agreement. To defeat an empire, you need an alliance of sovereign nations, which possess the economic and military power to defeat the imperial forces centered in London, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley. The modern Military Industrial Complex targeted Donald Trump due to his efforts to form a cooperative, mutually-beneficial relationship with Russia and China. They used Russiagate to contain him, and the deployment of War Hawks and neoliberals in both parties, along with the lying media, to sabotage his intent and ultimately, to drive him from office. What LaRouche understood was that the weakness of the empire is that it is facing a systemic collapse, and is prepared to unleash war and brutal austerity to preserve its system. To bury this system requires cooperation among the leading nations in the world, acting on behalf of the sovereign interests of their citizens — hence the Four Power Agreement. No other approach will succeed!
Col.(ret.) Richard H. Black (U.S.), former State Senator (Virginia), former head of the U.S. Army’s Criminal Law Division, U.S. Pentagon: “U.S.-China Relations: A Pathway for War Avoidance and Cooperation”
In his annual conversation with the Russian people, Russian President Putin emphasized that the world is changing, and one of the most important changes is that no nation, or group of nations, can dictate policy, under the umbrella of enforcement of a self-interested “Rules-Based Order.” He reiterated that Russia is open for dialogue, for cooperation, but its sovereignty cannot be challenged. He stated that he hopes Russia’s partners in the west understand this, and will cease the provocations and sanctions, for the sake of peaceful and mutually beneficial cooperation.
The efforts of President Trump to “end the endless wars” did not succeed, as he was blocked by an alliance committed to continuing those wars, which unfortunately included some of his own administration officials and War Hawk Republicans, who worked together with Democratic neocons, media, Big Tech and think tanks to sabotage a break with imperial geopolitical provocations. With Russiagate proven to have been a fraud from the start, is it now possible to break from geopolitical confrontation? LaRouche’s conception of a Four Power agreement remains the best option to escape from the threat coming from the War Hawks — join with us to once and for all form the strategic alliances necessary to break the control of the global corporate cartels of the “Military Industrial Complex”.
