Challenge Our Axioms To Become Wiser and More Loving

April 14, 2026by tobi in General, International Peace Coalition

International Peace Coalition, Week 149

by EIR Staff

April 10—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute and convener of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), opened the IPC’s 149th meeting by discussing the ongoing peace negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, which must reverse the global political and strategic “debacle” of the last week. She noted that, while U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to annihilate Iran and end its civilization, all while declaring victory for the United States in the ceasefire, the reality is much different. Iran clearly suffered significant damage and loss of life, but after all the bombing, its will remains unbroken. Any plan to split the Iranian population backfired, she said, and the country is more unified than ever. Iran is in full control of the Strait of Hormuz and wanted to demonstrate its ability to stand up to the United States, which it did.

Zepp-LaRouche continued, noting that the United States sought to show it is still a world leader but garnered little support, diminishing its power and prestige. The region is now in shambles, and the world is in disarray. Persian Gulf States no longer view U.S. military bases on their territory as a guarantee of protection; instead, their presence is now seen as a liability. The U.S. has not only endangered the entire region by starting the Iran War, but ultimately the entire world. Trump must now halt the war, as its continuation would threaten the global economy.

The erratic behavior of the United States, Zepp-LaRouche added, makes it uncertain what will happen next. She stated that Trump is the first U.S. president to act purely in the interest of Israel and that, with the exception of Spain and a few other countries, most Western leaders lacked the courage to challenge American policy. The “Coalition of the Willing” is still promoting war with Russia, which led Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova to say that Germany had not learned the lesson from two world wars. Zepp-LaRouche referenced a recent article by Pino Arlacchi—former Undersecretary-General of the UN and Director of the UN Office of Drugs and Crime who worked with the Taliban in 1999-2002 to successfully eliminate opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan—who suggested replacing the UN Security Council with a “peace enforcement mechanism” elected by the UN General Assembly. She referenced nuclear weapons experts such as Dr. Theodore Postol and Steven Starr, who both have warned that if one nation uses a nuclear weapon, many more nuclear weapons will be unleashed. Zepp-LaRouche warned that the entire architecture of the world order is collapsing, potentially resulting in chaos. However, she also suggested that a new order, based on reason and modeled after the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, is possible. She called for an Extended Oasis Plan for the different countries of Southwest Asia, reaching from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Gulf States—to determine which development corridors are most suitable to develop that region as a whole—given that the entire region is an expanding desert, that would have to involve the creation of new water sources. Zepp-LaRouche highlighted Pope Leo XIV’s  positive role in mobilizing people to stop the war.

The next speaker, Col. (ret.) Richard H. Black, former head of the U.S. Army’s  Criminal Law Division at the Pentagon and former Virginia state senator, warned of Israel’s role in keeping the war going. Black said that Israel’s goal is a permanent presence of U.S. troops on the ground, but that President Trump must maintain control over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Black added that U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have an “Israel First” agenda, and that almost the entire U.S. Congress is subservient to Israel. He stated that Israel’s assassination campaign in the Iran War has killed all of Iran’s senior pro-Western negotiators, who are now being replaced by hardliners, which will only prolong the war, a goal of Netanyahu.

Col. (ret.) Alain Corvez, former advisor to the French Defense and Interior Ministries said that Western hegemony is weakening due to the Iran War and that the world balance of power is shifting, predicting that BRICS nations, especially Russia, China, and Iran, will grow in influence. The United States will retain power but have less global influence and deeper divisions at home. Corvez said that both Trump and the Democrats have been unsuccessful in the U.S., and that Diane Sare’s independent U.S. presidential campaign offers a solution and will gain support.

Dialogue of Civilizations and Learning Our True History

Asked to comment, Helga Zepp-LaRouche called on Americans to reflect on their own history during this 250th year of independence, asserting that a return to the policies of Ben Franklin and John Quincy Adams would facilitate collaboration with the Global Majority. She stated that the sooner the West understands and works with the Global Majority, the sooner we can overcome the war and other crises facing humanity.

Pakistani-American academic, Dr. Abdullah Al-Ahsan, discussed the role of the former head of UK’s Arab Bureau, Bernard Lewis and his American sidekick Samuel Huntington in creating the Clash of Civilizations, noting that the government of Iran called for a Dialogue of Civilizations in the 1990s. Instead of pursuing this opening, however, the “War on Terror” was used to divide the world. Al-Ahsan said that civilizations can only thrive when people have dignity and society is based on truth-seeking. He warned that Pakistan is working for a ceasefire, but many of its leaders are “in the pocket” of America and cannot be trusted.

Speaking from Canada, Yakov Rabkin, professor emeritus of history at the Université de Montréal said that he has spent much of his life studying the history of Zionism and the establishment of the relatively young state of Israel, which he described as a “settler colonial entity.” The violence in West Asia, he said, comes from the attempt to expand an ideology of Jewish supremacism in a borderless ethnic national state within the already populated land of Palestine. He said that settlers feel insecure, so they try to expand their borders, but the new borders are equally insecure because of the fundamentally failed nature of their outlook. Since its founding, Israel has relied on military force. He said that Israel has nuclear weapons and will not hesitate to use them to defend itself from an “existential threat,” but this is not a threat to the nation or its people, but a threat to the Apartheid system. Rabkin quoted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying in 2001 that “America is a thing that we can move easily,” and added that Israel labels anyone who resists this type of manipulation as “antisemitic.” Those who would like to know more, he said, should read his recent short book Israel in Palestine: Jewish Rejection of Zionism.

Intervening In the U.S. Scene

Jose Vega, candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th congressional district (the Bronx), discussed his campaign and a candidates debate the night before where he reiterated his call for the Oasis Plan and for 10,000 new engineers in Gaza and the Bronx. There was a clear freakout from the Democratic establishment when he pointed out that his contender, former vice chair of the Democratic National Committee Michael Blake, was a servant of the Jeffrey Epstein Class.

Diane Sare, independent candidate for U.S. President called on Congress to end the war by simply cutting off all funding—which, she said, was how the U.S. war in Vietnam was finally brought to an end in Aug. 1973. She said that much of the Democratic Party leadership wants the war to continue in order for their candidates to win the U.S. midterm elections. She stated that two of the Democratic Congress members who were responsible for tabling the recent War Powers Resolution—U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (from New York’s 5th congressional district) and U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (from New York’s 8th congressional district)—also take money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and make deals with the “donor class.” Sare mentioned an event she attended the day before on Capitol Hill that was focused on the need to impeach Trump. She pointed out that Trump is just the logical conclusion of over 20 years of political insanity—a 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq based on lies, President Obama’s invasion of Libya, President Biden’s toleration of two years of genocide in Gaza, 200 Congressmen signing a letter attacking South Africa’s challenge to that genocide at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, and the Epstein Class controlling the federal government. Therefore, we must remove Trump’s hand from the levers of power, but do so without further dividing the country.

During the question period, Helga Zepp-LaRouche returned to the issue of the Clash of Civilizations, stating that the enemy image shifted from communism to Islam when the Cold War ended. She said that the trick has been to constantly divide people, but we must unite people, who may have differences, using the highest level of debate. IPC co-moderator Dennis Small spoke of Pope Leo XIV’s  efforts to stop the war, despite threats from U.S. Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby. He noted that the Pope has called for a worldwide vigil for peace on April 11. Dennis Speed, another IPC co-moderator, added that the Pope will come to the United States in July but has declined an invitation from President Trump to meet him at the White House on July 4, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, instead spending that day in Lampedusa, an Italian island off the coast of Tunisia, helping migrants attempting to enter Europe from Africa.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche concluded the event by commenting on some of the questions that came in. First she spoke of the importance of the Pope going to Africa later this year. She said that it is important that voices from the Global South are heard and that the Pope spent much of his career in Peru, which gives him insight into the needs of the Global Majority. She said that she is not giving up on the West, but that it needs a “moral revival,”  and that it has been targeted with schemes to dumb down the population with war propaganda and entertainment. Zepp-LaRouche said that people need to challenge their axioms to become wiser and more loving to one another, and that we need great culture, life-long learning, and Socratic dialogues with our neighbors.

Live with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: Responsible statesmen discuss at EIR Emergency Roundtable: The Pathway Out of Catastrophe April 8, 11am ET/5pm CET

April 7, 2026by tobi in General, Helga Webcast

Join Helga Zepp-LaRouche in her live dialogue and discuss the issues and solutions that move the world and its people. Send your questions & comments to questions@schillerinstitute.org.
Please share the YouTube link with your friends, acquaintances, and colleagues to increase the reach of the solutions presented by the LaRouche movement.

Yesterday’s EIR Emergency Roundtable, the third since January, saw an extraordinary online dialogue among 13 international experts from 10 countries, dedicated to shifting the world off its current course of war, and onto the plane of global development and peace. The title of the event, convened on very short notice, was, “A Dialogue of Civilizations: Is There Still Time to Prevent the War Against Iran from Escalating into a Global Nuclear Conflict?”

The April 6 event was an urgent, dramatic call to action which took place even as the United States is unleashing hell on Iran, and U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening them with the Stone Age. The deliberation brought together representatives of the Iranian government in dialogue with forces from around the world who are intent on stopping this trajectory.

The 4.5-hour-long event was organized into two panels, with the first titled, “Can the Iran War Be Stopped Before Nuclear Escalation?” followed by, “Global Infrastructure Development Is the New Name for Peace.” There was simultaneous interpretation available in English, French, German, and Spanish.

Common to all discussants was the notion that Washington has gone “morally insane,” as Professor Postol stated it, and from there came various proposals and initiatives. Chandra Muzaffar called on people around the world to contact the U.S. Congress and institutions, to activate to stop the warfare, and launch win-win development, especially for such longstanding unjust cases as that of Palestine. Ms. Anand of India spoke of mobilizing for the BRICS nations “to showcase their unity” on stopping the warfare, and to “not leave Iran to die.” EIR‘s Dennis Small, who outlined the economic dimension of the collapse of the Collective West, came down for a new economic security and development architecture.

Zepp-LaRouche, after discussing many initiatives concretely, came back, at the end, to the question of personal responsibility. There are two choices. She said you either turn “small,” by denial, indifference, preoccupation with what you know to be lesser matters, and so on; OR, you “reach into yourself for something better. You connect your activity and destiny in the larger issue of humanity.”

Zepp-LaRouche to TASS: Russia-U.S. Dialogue Essential To Tackle Global Challenges

April 7, 2026by tobi in Helga media coverage or interview

TASS, the news service of the Russian Federation, on April 6 published two articles taken from a recent interview with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, EIR Editor-in-Chief, founder of the Schiller Institute. In the wide ranging interview on global strategic matters, Zepp-LaRouche proposed a pathway to peace—to avoid near term global conflagration—and the matter of the “completely reckless” threat that the U.K. and France would soon provide a nuclear weapon to Ukraine. The wire service articles appeared both in English and in Russian.

In the article titled, “Russia-U.S. Dialogue Essential to Tackle Global Challenges—Expert,”  Zepp-LaRouche states: “As the Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna correctly noted, it is of the utmost importance, that the representatives of the world’s two largest nuclear powers have an open dialogue, and share ideas about crucial matters. The world is clearly in an epochal change, where the outcome is not clear at all. It could either end up in a catastrophe, or it could lead to a new era in human history, where the earlier methods of conflict resolution through wars, coups, regime change through ‘color revolutions,’ and terrorism are overcome for good, and replaced with dialogue and cooperation for mutual benefit.

“People to people dialogue, among youth, among scientists and artists, sportsmen and, naturally, elected officials on all levels, are an irreplaceable element in this. If such an exchange is connected with a dialogue of cultures and civilizations, where all sides learn about the best contributions of the others, not only will humanity outgrow its present problems, but through such an exchange we will create a new renaissance, more beautiful than all previous ones.”

TASS explained that the recent visit to Washington, D.C. of top members of Russia’s Duma, the lower house of Russia’s legislature, to meet with U.S. congressmen and representatives of the Trump administration, reestablished the Russian-U.S. interparliamentary dialogue which had been shut down for many years. The chief of the Russian delegation, a leading Russian political figure, Vyacheslav Nikonov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, said he believed the visit could be described as historic.

The second TASS article was titled, “Expert Slams Potential Move To Provide Nuclear Weapons to Ukraine as ‘Completely Reckless.’” (here in Russian) According to Helga Zepp-LaRouche, ‘such a step could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back, since the overall strategic climate is already one of disarray.’” ]As background, TASS explained that Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had recently reported that the U.K. and France were actively working to provide a nuclear bomb and delivery means to Ukraine. According to the SVR, one option being considered is the French TN75 warhead from the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile.

Zepp-LaRouche: There Is No Bottom to the Gutter

April 4, 2026by tobi in General

April 2, 2026—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute and widow of the late American statesman and economist Lyndon H. LaRouche, issued the following statement on April 2:

On Feb. 24, 2021, I published a letter where I demanded that Barbara Boyd and a number of other individuals associated with the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC) “immediately cease and desist, both now and in the future” from “using Mr. LaRouche’s name,

likeness, and potentially other confusingly similar terms.” The content of that statement still stands, and people should reread it. It is, however, urgent that it be updated at this time.

After an amazing, universal approval of every single policy of the Trump administration, as if not only Trump himself but even the worst neocon and neoliberal elements of his team were more infallible than the Pope—such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and his brazen promotion of cryptocurrency and every imaginable form of financial speculation—Mrs. Boyd and her gaggle have definitely abdicated from the human species by supporting Trump’s war of aggression against Iran. When Trump threatens to “bomb Iran back to the Stone Age,” he is openly bragging that he is waging war against the Iranian people, and that is a war crime.

Such unconditional support for Trump, at a moment when the entire civilized world—including those who had some hope that Trump would fulfill his promises to end the wars and not start new ones—is turning away from him in disgust over his rejection of international law, his kidnapping of a head of a foreign country and the assassination of a supreme religious leader of another, and now the mass killing of a civilian population, sheds light on the moral and intellectual demise of the Boyd gaggle, now gathered as Promethean PAC and Promethean Action. That this pitiful bunch has the nerve to compare the greatest intellect of our time, my late husband Lyndon LaRouche, with President Trump, who is known to not read a single page, shows their loss of moral judgment.

Whether these intellectual nobodies were actually taken over before they discovered and announced in late 2020 that they had “irrevocable” differences with the movement of Lyndon LaRouche, by some agency, in order to be groomed to later try to confuse people about the ideas of LaRouche, probably will only be established after a new “Church Committee” of sorts is established—an idea which was vehemently opposed by Boyd earlier, for some strange reason. In any case, there are still some people around who have a vivid recollection of how far she was willing to go for a ride.

Anybody who has the slightest inkling about Lyndon LaRouche would know that he fought his entire life against such barbarism as is now being demonstrated by Trump in respect to Iran, and by Barbarian Boyd.

EIR Announces April 6 Emergency Roundtable

April 1, 2026by tobi in General

EIR Emergency Roundtable Dialogue:

‘A Dialogue of Civilizations:
Is There Still Time to Prevent the War Against Iran from Escalating into a Global Nuclear Conflict?’

April 6, 2026

10:00 a.m.—3.00 p.m. (EDT); 4:00 p.m.—9.00 p.m. (CET); with two panels

For English: Panel 1 and Panel 2

A Dialogue of Civilizations: Is There Still Time to Prevent the War Against Iran from Escalating into a Global Nuclear Conflict?

Do not make the mistake of dismissing the dialogue about proposed solutions to the war now raging across Southwest Asia that will be aired during an April 6 EIR Emergency Roundtable Dialogue, as “impractical,” “unrealistic” or “out of reach.” There is nothing more “impractical” than allowing the current trajectory of the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against Iran to escalate into a full-scale nuclear conflict, which would have a high probability of ending all recognizable human life on the planet.

On Monday, April 6, leading international strategic thinkers and representatives from Iran, the United States, Europe, China and various nations of the Global South will engage in a frank dialogue on the nature and origins of the current war against Iran—and its underlying historical and policy origins—and will seek solutions based on organizing a new security and development architecture to meet the legitimate needs of each and every nation in the region and across the planet.

We reject the geopolitics and religious warfare proposed by the likes of Samuel Huntington and his Clash of Civilizations, a doctrine which he intellectually plagiarized from the violently anti-Islamic leading British orientalist Bernard Lewis, an outlook that stems from the Hobbesian view of Man that we are as animals with each at war with all. We instead embrace the outlook stated by EIR Editor-in-Chief and Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche in a March 9 open letter to Pope Leo XIV, calling for a Dialogue of Cultures in the spirit of the 15th century Catholic Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, who has been cited as a model by the Pope, because we must “avoid a descent into an irreparable abyss… (We must instead) cause a change in world history and fulfill the will of God, who for sure did not create the world and gift humanity with reason, to have it destroyed by the lack of it.”

President Trump has announced a “postponement” until April 6 of his threat to bomb Iranian energy and industrial infrastructure, so long as Iran capitulates to America’s demands for unconditional surrender. There is of course no guarantee that Trump will hold off until April 6 on a new round of attacks, and in fact Israel has already continued bombing Iran’s steel plants, the Bushehr nuclear energy facility, and so on.

The policy required for the entire region—from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Gulf—is one of reconstruction and Dialogue of Civilizations, such as the Oasis Plan proposed in 1975 by the renowned American economist and statesman, Lyndon LaRouche, and today updated by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and the Schiller Institute.

“We need to have the idea of joint economic development based on the concept of the Oasis Plan for the entire region,” Zepp-LaRouche stated to the March 27 meeting of the International Peace Coalition. “First, to have canals from the Mediterranean and the Red Sea to the Dead Sea; use peaceful nuclear energy for vast amounts of desalinization of ocean water, to use that to green the desert, to build forests, farmland, orchards, and basically use that water to feed an infrastructure. Thereby we could build development corridors, like connecting the China-Pakistan corridor and the North-South transport corridor from St. Petersburg to Chabahar and possibly beyond into India, and connect it with other development corridors, connecting these countries with Turkiye, with Africa, with Europe. Because in ancient times, that region was the place of the ancient Silk Road, and at that time it was the hub for connecting the three continents through trade, exchange of science, of technology, of art, of ideas, of philosophy. And that is what that region can become again.”

Live with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: Messianic Delusions and the End of History, April 1, 11am ET/5pm CET

Please share the YouTube link with your friends, acquaintances, and colleagues to increase the reach of the solutions presented by the LaRouche movement.

At the Monday, March 30 White House press briefing, a reporter had the temerity to ask Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt what President Donald Trump thought about what Pope Leo XIV said in his Palm Sunday message: That Jesus “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying, ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.’” The ever-deft Leavitt twisted the question around, claiming that the troops appreciate that the commander in chief prays for them. She chose not to address the Satanic prayers of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who calls himself the “Secretary of War” and prays for violence and no mercy.

Mohamad Safa, who just resigned from his post as executive director of the Patriotic Vision-PVA at the United Nations because “some UN seniors are serving a powerful lobby and not the UN,” warned: “I don’t think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran…. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.”

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson posted a letter from a Marine commander asking his troops, “Is your gear packed and ready to go? Are your family affairs in order?” Johnson wrote: “A letter like this can only mean one of two things: 1) It is an elaborate deception campaign to convince Iran that the U.S. is going to attack in hopes that Iran will back down, or 2) He understands that he is sending a portion of the Corps he commands into the valley of death. I am hoping it is the former, but I fear it is the latter.”

For his part, the delirious President of the United States Donald J. Trump made another insane post on Truth Social, which reads in part: “Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’”

According to Pope Leo XIV’s Palm Sunday message, if President Trump prays for success in this mission, which is a violation of international law and an intent to commit war crimes, God will not hear him.

Meanwhile, on Monday, March 30, NASA teams arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin the countdown for man’s first orbit around the Moon in over 50 years.The first time human beings orbited the Moon was Christmas of 1968, a difficult year for Americans and world citizens, in which both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy had been assassinated. The NASA astronauts on that flight, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders, chose to read the first ten verses of Genesis because “The first ten verses of Genesis is the foundation of many of the world’s religions, not just the Christian religion,” said Lovell. “There are more people in other religions than the Christian religion around the world, and so this would be appropriate to that and so that’s how it came to pass.” They closed their reading of Genesis with the message: “May God bless all of you on the good Earth.”

There is a phenomenon known as the “overview effect,” which is the singular emotion that strikes those who view the Earth for the first time as a whole from outer space. It is described as a sense of wonder, of unity, of the smallness of the Earth and the vulnerability of it, accompanied by a passionate commitment to care for it and humanity.

God will probably welcome a prayer that our astronauts arrive in Moon orbit soon enough to share those images of the Earth with everyone here, in time to prevent us from plunging over the abyss into nuclear war.

Short of putting everybody on the nearest spaceship, LaRouche organizers are planning a series of street deployments and street theater over the coming week leading into Easter Sunday. One wonders if an exorcism were to be performed on Paula White, would there be anything left?

In discussions with associates today, Helga Zepp-LaRouche urged that her open letter to Pope Leo be circulated at houses of worship throughout the week and weekend, particularly at churches on Easter Sunday, April 5. The letter can be found here.

‘The Issue of the One Humanity Has To Become Our Battle Cry’

March 29, 2026by tobi in General

International Peace Coalition, Week 147

by EIR Staff

March 27—The 147th consecutive weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) commenced with a tour d’horizon by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and International Peace Coalition initiator. “The situation is still one of utmost suspense,” she said, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump has twice delayed his ultimatum on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure. After Trump twice used negotiations as a pretext to prepare for an attack, there is little trust in his proclamations. Up to 7,000 additional U.S. troops will soon be in the region, indicating a possible ground invasion and a massive escalation of the conflict. The “decapitation” strategy has failed; the Iranian government remains firmly in control. Countries around the world are affected by skyrocketing oil prices, as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. Ambassador Abolfazl Pasandideh, who represents the Islamic Republic of Iran in Mexico, has proposed in a recent presentation to the IPC to return to the idea of a dialogue of civilizations. This was counterposed to Samuel Huntington’s clash of civilizations, which proposed Islam as a new enemy image to replace communism after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Zepp-LaRouche called attention to an extended Oasis Plan, proposed not just for Israel and Palestine, but for the region as a whole, and for the benefit of the many nations from Afghanistan on the east to Africa on the west which have been devastated by neocon operations over the past 25 years. The region can once again become the hub between three continents, she said.

Domestically, “Trump is confronted with a complete crumbling of support inside the United States,” noted Zepp-LaRouche. There is a wide discrepancy between what the public was given as the reason for this war against Iran and what members of Congress are being told in briefings. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is a shining example of a European statesman with the courage to oppose the war.

U.S. Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant (ret.) Dennis Fritz of the Eisenhower Media Network observed that we keep hearing that this war started in 1979, but it actually started in 1953 with the coup against Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. We also supported Iraq in the Iraq-Iran War. The United States and Israel are the greatest sponsors of terrorism, said Fritz. We attacked Iran in the midst of negotiations twice. Does Iran have the right to defend itself? They will never give up ballistic missiles, because those are the basis for Iran’s national security. Iran warned us that they would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked.

Fritz then introduced the next speaker, U.S. Marine Corps veteran Brian McGinnis, saying that “they thanked him for his service by breaking his arm.”

McGinnis is a retired Marine and current Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, who had his arm broken by U.S. Capitol Police and Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy as they attempted to forcibly remove him from a recent congressional hearing. He said he was honored to be introduced by Fritz. McGinnis went on to say that money laundering has been intrinsic to the wars of the past 25 years. He urged that we continue to expose the “Greater Israel” project. “Our government is leading us in a direction that is sacrificing our moral high ground,” he concluded.

‘Pangs of Conscience’ Will Haunt Their Lives

Zepp-LaRouche responded by expressing her “deep, heartfelt gratitude” to Fritz and McGinnis. Co-moderator Dennis Speed reported that other people from the military who are candidates for office in the United States are saying that they refuse to be associated with the administration’s criminal policies. “This may be the fastest way to send up an S.O.S. to the rest of the world,” she said. Moderator Anastasia Battle added that whistleblower Lt. Col. (ret.) Anthony Aguilar, U.S. Army, had said that the girls’ school in Minab, Iran, was targeted intentionally for a missile attack, to harm the morale of the girls’ parents, many of whom are Iranian government officials. Fritz said that our military is imitating the policies of the Israel Defense Forces, and our Secretary of Defense is encouraging our troops to violate the basic rules of war. They will live with this for the rest of their lives, afflicted with PTSD in addition to their pangs of conscience.

Paul Gallagher, co-editor of Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), had sent a video message in which he reported on how he is investigating the request by the Trump administration for an additional $200-$250 billion for the Iran war. The persistent decline in U.S. manufacturing productivity is to be corrected by a huge slush fund for military production. The plan is being run by 30 top investment bankers, who are being paid salaries of $300,000-$500,000 a year. We now have a military-industrial-financial complex, indeed, said Gallagher, but this has little to do with the Iran War; it is intended instead to produce new “War Unicorn” companies for new “kill technologies” toward eventually confronting China.

Eduardo Gabriel Fernández is a graduate of the Advanced Course in National Defense and a member of the General Jorge Edgar Leal Observatory on Argentine Sovereignty. He reported that the current government of Argentina is reviving the policies of the military dictatorship which ruled from 1976 to 1983—after the overthrow of President Isabel Perón’s government, a trend which is being protested in the streets by the people of Argentina. He is circulating among bishops in Argentina Zepp-LaRouche’s open letter calling on Pope Leo XIV to intervene on the level of the 15th-Century’s Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, and one of them has agreed to present it to the entire Bishops’ Conference there.

Schiller Institute organizer Tim Rush offered areport on organizing by citizen activists, who visited 390 offices at the U.S. Congress. Congressmen are conditioned to discuss issues in a binary for-or-against fashion, and they are unprepared for the IPC’s approach of posing solutions which lift the discussion to a higher vantage point.

An Appeal to the Human Soul

Zepp-LaRouche expressed the hope that our appeal to the human soul can become stronger than the war machine. “I believe that the true nature of man is beautiful, is positive,” she said, and reminded the participants that a nuclear war would not merely annihilate the presently living generations, but also all the scientific and cultural achievements of all the prior generations.

Dennis Fritz agreed with Zepp-LaRouche that it is the economic success of China, based on the successful application of the policies advocated by Alexander Hamilton, that has made them into an adversary in the eyes of our present political leadership.

Zepp-LaRouche described how Nicholas of Cusa was conscious of the fact that he had found a unique and unprecedented mode of thinking: humans, in the image of the Creator, can resolve conflicts by ascending to a higher level of reason than the level which gave rise to the conflict. Pope Leo XIV has called attention to this as well. She contrasted this to the Jeffrey Epstein Class, comprising people who feel that there are no limits or constraints on their power, whose lusts become increasingly perverse. These are not happy people; they have lost their souls.

Final Thoughts

Brian McGinnis described as “riveting” the idea that the United States could pivot away from the destruction in the Middle East, to the regional development and “greening of the desert” promised by the Oasis Plan.

Dennis Fritz indicted the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) for being the impetus for the wars against both Iraq and Iran. He praised the interventions of Jose Vega, an independent candidate for Congress from New York’s 15th District in the South Bronx, and Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the anti-war organization CODEPINK; he said that the latter had “beaten down Cory Booker [U.S. Senator from New Jersey] so bad” that he will no longer accept money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Zepp-LaRouche concluded by saying, “The issue of the One Humanity has to become our battle cry.” Trump, if he is to be believed, has announced in his latest ultimatum that April 6 is his new deadline for capitulation by Iran, and we have chosen that date for our next EIR Emergency Roundtable online event. She asked all participants to please work to maximize worldwide participation.

The world whipsawed again on Monday March 23 as President Trump surprised the world by announcing a halt on U.S. strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. The U.S. and Iran “have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in all caps, adding that he had postponed strikes on Iran’s infrastructure for a five day period. Oil prices fell and stocks surged at the news.

Iran, however, denied the allegations, with Iran’s Foreign Ministry stating that “no talks are taking place between Tehran and Washington.” It added that Trump’s remarks were “part of efforts to manage energy prices and buy time for the implementation of his military plans.” When asked about this, Trump simply suggested that “perhaps that hasn’t been conveyed” because of how badly their country has been destroyed.

There are claims flying in every direction, with very little confirmed as to what, if any, diplomatic process is actually underway, or whether the whole thing is simply an inelegant way for Trump to throw his hands up and walk away. While this is a welcome reprieve in a situation that was quickly headed toward disaster, including possibly nuclear war, at best it is only a pause in a far uglier policy that is still very much alive.

The real issue was laid out by American statesman Lyndon LaRouche 20 years ago, in an article titled “Strictly Speaking, There Is No Iran Crisis.” In it, he said that the push for a regime-change war against Iran was “a continuation of the evolution of what became known as Britain’s Sykes-Picot gambits.” LaRouche continued: “That is to emphasize that the targets of ‘The Crisis on the Global Chessboard’ include Russia and China, Russia more immediately. However, the more immediate phase of the British-led game in progress, is the promotion of British Arab Bureau veteran Bernard Lewis’s revival of the global anti-Islam strategy which had been the basis for the creation and perpetuation of that medieval imperialist alliance of the Venetian financier-oligarchy and Norman chivalry, known as ‘The Crusades.’ What is in progress, currently centered in [then-British Prime Minister Tony] Blair’s and Jack Straw’s Liberal Imperialist London, is the creation of that permanent state of warfare and revolution intended to be the organizing principle of a new form of global imperialism, a form currently labeled ‘globalization.’ A global, perpetual religious war against Islam, is the British imperial policy adopted currently, for this purpose, by the Blair allies associated with the U.S. Bush-Cheney regime.”

Replace George Bush and Dick Cheney with Trump’s new brand of Silicon Valley neocons and Prosperity Gospel crusaders, as well as the ongoing role of Tony Blair in the Middle East, and the situation is clear. Add in the growing role of Palantir, which epitomizes the way this “permanent state of warfare” was necessary to implement “a new form of global imperialism,” as it simultaneously establishes both global surveillance platforms and increasingly lethal (and financially profitable) military techniques—all under the rubric of defending “our way of life” from our “adversaries.”

Yet, despite this evil and almost unfathomable level of danger, the world is perched at an absolutely unique inflection point. Nothing can “go back to normal” after this conflict is over, as is also the case after the genocide in Gaza. The world has fundamentally changed, and the moral bankruptcy of the West has been irreversibly exposed for the world to see. If growing parts of the world were not already looking for the exit from this imperialistic nightmare, you can be sure they are now. The question remains: What will replace it? Can mankind actually organize itself into a new system which doesn’t ultimately lead to a war of each against all?

There is a flurry of diplomatic activity underway throughout Southwest and South Asia, with significant nations, such as Turkiye, Egypt, and Pakistan, playing new roles in reining in this crisis by the hands of the Americans and Israelis. The recent proposal by Oman’s Foreign Minister to establish a regional framework for the transparent use of nuclear energy, is also an indication of how this region could begin to break free from the British Empire’s matrix of permanent war and geopolitics.

Speaking to associates on March 23, Helga Zepp-LaRouche summed up the opportunity before us in the following way: “I think it is really up to us to say that this present course of events, even if this goes back and forth by the day, it has to be taken off the table entirely, and it has to be replaced … with the idea of a total change in the direction of the Oasis Plan, and an Oasis Plan being expanded to the entire region, from India to the Mediterranean, from the Caucasus to the Gulf. Because this region includes many countries that have been victimized by the interventionist wars in the last decades, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and the West Bank. The entire region is now in shambles, given the fact that the business model of the Gulf states, being on the one side extremely wealthy from their oil income, but having no in-depth state. Their populations are very small, all the work is being done by guest workers, and being protected by the U.S. military bases. This business model is now in shambles, and therefore it would be in the vested interest of these Gulf states to use the money of their sovereign wealth funds to invest in regional infrastructure programs … desalination of large amounts of ocean water, [building] canals and systems of irrigation—creating a greening of the desert like China has done in the case of Xinjiang and in the northeast, where they greened a desert the size of the territory of Germany, where now there are forests and farmland and orchards and tourism, and people have become wealthy rather than being dirt poor.

“So that approach has to be put on the table…. And if all relevant forces would work together, the Sunnis and the Shi’ites cooperating, rather than being played according to colonial scripts since Sykes-Picot and earlier, creating a clash of civilization, they should unite and go for peaceful development. That is our unified approach, and the United States should be convinced that that is in the best interest of the United States as well.”

We Must Give Young People Hope

International Peace Coalition Meeting No. 146

March 21, 2026 (EIRNS)—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute and initiator of the International Peace Coalition (IPC ), started the 146th consecutive Friday weekly meeting of the IPC on March 20 by challenging the audience to help stop the dangerous, “breakneck speed” of a spiral into the Iran War, chaos, and the very real potential for nuclear war. Following Israel’s bombing of the South Pars off-shore natural gas field in the Persian Gulf which Iran shares with Qatar, Iran is retaliating in the war by attacking oil and gas facilities of neighboring Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases. This is contributing to the oil price shock that could seriously risk a blowout of the world financial system. The United States is moving ground troops into the region which could target disputed islands off the coast of Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia is threatening to join the war, but the three main actors have incompatible goals—the United States wants regime change, Israel wants total destruction of Iran, and Iran insists that the United States must leave the region and pay reparations for the damage from the war and many years of destructive sanctions. Zepp-LaRouche saw hope in the recent call by Foreign Minister of Oman Badr Albusaidi—who was in the midst of mediating U.S.-Iranian negotiations when the United States and Israel launched their “unlawful military strike” against Iran—for a meeting of all countries in the region to move towards a regional non-aggression treaty, pivoted on an agreement on developing nuclear energy, as a pathway out of the ongoing unwinnable war. China’s special envoy for Middle East affairs Zhai Jun is in the region and has been promoting a quick end to the fighting and economic development.

In Europe, Zepp-LaRouche noted the reluctance of Europeans to join the war. Europe has offered to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, but only after the fighting ends. She also noted that Iran’s Ambassador to Germany Majid Nili Ahmadabadi has been asking about the role of the United States at the Ramstein Air Base, suggesting that Germany is complicit in the war. She spoke of Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi visiting the White House on March 19 and being subjected to a cruel joke about Pearl Harbor, when a reporter asked President Trump why the United States did not give Japan advanced warning about their intent to start the war against Iran.

Zepp-LaRouche noted that the former head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, has said that the FBI has blocked investigations into the shooting death of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and the July 2024 assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Kent has warned that there may be live, ongoing assassination plans against the President. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has warned that the U.S. effort to militarize and control space is a dangerous escalation. She noted that all of these events could easily go out of control, and stressed the need for negotiations, development, and a dialogue of civilizations. She also noted that Pope Leo XIV is an American and in a unique position to bring other religious leaders together to prevent a descent into barbarism.

The next speaker was Josephine Guilbeau, a 17-year U.S. Army veteran from U.S. Cyber Command and now active with the Eisenhower Media Network. Guilbeau spoke of her attendance at the Catholics For Catholics 3rd annual Catholic Prayer for America event in Washington, D.C. on March 19, where Joseph Kent spoke and received multiple standing ovations. She stressed that the USS Tripoli, with over 2,000 Marines, is just five days away from entering the theater of war, and that Americans must act now to avoid another ground war with no “off ramp.” Guilbeau called on Americans to contact their congressional representatives and send letters to the editors of major newspapers to stop the war, saying that we cannot allow Israel to drag us into another bloodbath. Zepp-LaRouche responded by stressing the importance of mobilizing other Catholics around the world to unite in opposition to the war. Guilbeau announced the Eisenhower Media Network sponsored March 26 press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., which will expose how, as in the Iraq war, contradictory or even non-existent intelligence has been used to dupe a U.S. President into the war on Iran.

Speaking next was Bassam El Hachem, a sociologist and professor at the University of Lebanon, who spoke of the delusion dominating the Trump administration that the war against Iran could be won in four or five days through decapitation. He said that this “adventure” was a failure, and it is now Iran which holds all of the cards. Iran has knocked-out the major U.S. radar systems in the region, forced the two U.S. aircraft carriers to pull back, and it controls the flow of 20% of world oil exports. Without its sophisticated radar, the United States is blind and Iran’s missiles have inflicted damage. President Trump has demanded that his “allies”—the same ones he has threatened with draconian tariffs—help him restore oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, to little effect.

Professor El Hachem noted that at the end of 2024 Israel and Lebanon negotiated an end to the fighting, Hezbollah honored the agreement, but Israel did not: It acted unilaterally to continue the killing. The United States was negotiating with Iran, but in the middle of the negotiations the U.S. acted unilaterally and started the war. He said that there has been a media blackout, but the U.S. makes sure that Lebanon is weak, which means that Hezbollah is the only local force which can respond to this fighting.

The professor continued that for three days Israel has been preparing for a ground invasion of Lebanon, giving Hezbollah no choice but to fight. France has worked to negotiate an end to this fighting, but the professor does not expect this to work.

The final invited speaker was Diane Sare, an independent candidate for U.S. President, who asked if it were possible to end these wars without changing America? She said that only Congress can declare war, but this Congress embarrassed itself by abdicating its responsibilities, allowing the war to begin.

Sare called on whistleblowers and independent-minded candidates to unite to break the brainwashing by the billionaire elite which wants to dumb-down the population to eliminate optimism. Sare said that the peace movement must fight for economic development, eradicate poverty, provide clean drinking water for the world, and build nuclear power for a growing world. This peace movement must act as one humanity and promote a dialogue of civilizations.

A short video interview was shown of Chandra Muzaffar, a prominent Malaysian human rights activist, author, and president of the International Movement for a Just World (JUST), who has called to end all hegemony. He suggested the importance of mobilizing individuals of faith, such as Mahatma Gandhi or Lyndon LaRouche—instead of appealing to religious institutions. Gandhi and LaRouche were people of faith, even though they did not always fit in with the rituals of institutional religious structures, both challenged us with what gives meaning to our lives or what we should do with our lives. Muzaffar said that in a time of crisis, this is the spiritual perspective that we need.

Zepp-LaRouche responded saying the elites are willing to waste precious lives as collateral damage. President Trump has said that he can do with Cuba whatever he wants. She said that we are already in a “Dark Age,” but she is worried that we are sliding into barbarism. She repeated her husband’s frequent question: Do we have the moral fitness to survive? Can we work for the benefit of others? Can we have a dialogue of civilizations? History has shown that arrogance has always led to destruction and we will not survive an Armageddon.

Sare added that people are naturally good and that we can see signs of resistance to this barbarism. Schools are prohibiting smartphones in classrooms, and promoting more reading instead of more screen time. Professor El Hachem added that students of all faiths are acting to stop the war, and he said that it is critical that “we must give young people hope.”

During the question period Sare warned of the danger of false flag provocations to expand the war. She said that President Trump has retreated in Yemen and Minneapolis while declaring defeats to be victories, and that she would be happy if he does the same thing in the Iran War.

A short video was played of former CIA analyst Larry Johnson arguing that nuclear weapons did not end World War II and they will not end the current conflicts. Zepp-LaRouche warned that wars never go as planned and warned of the danger of the unpayable $2.4 quadrillion financial derivatives bubble. She said the only way out of these problems is economic development, but the United States insists on dominating the world despite the fact that it represents only a small fraction of the world’s population. The Global South represents 90% of the world and it demands equality and will not accept an inferior position. Zepp-LaRouche added that Gulf states have shown what is possible in the middle of the desert, but instead of more luxury hotels, these nations must unite around an Oasis Plan development strategy. She said that China developed two of its poor desert areas, each the size of Germany in its northern and western regions—and turned them into lush gardens. There is no need for death and misery anywhere in the world.

Zepp-LaRouche said that the “American System” of economics demonstrates that credit for production always produces more value than the sum of the individual investments. China’s most favorite economist is Friedrich List, who promoted this same system. This “American System” was opposed to the British model of merely extracting value from trade. She called on the United States to return to its mission of being a “Beacon of Hope” for the world again, and that America should not go abroad “in search of monsters to destroy,” as called for by John Quincy Adams. 

Live with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: “Blessed are the Peacemakers” — Defend Christianity from the Armageddon Freaks, March 18, 11am ET/4pm CET

The live dialogue will be broadcasted at 11am ET / 4pm CET due to change to Daylight Savings Time in the US.

Lyndon LaRouche, the American philosopher and worldly statesman, once posed the question, “How much does a thought weigh?”

Ask yourself: What kind of substance and causal reality does an appropriate thought have on the material world? And does engaged dialogue amongst cultures and amongst nations actually play a role in averting physical disaster, when greed, pettiness, fears, cynicism, vengeance, outright meanness of spirit or any volatile mixture of such seem to take the upper hand in driving the world into senseless violence, killings, and war?

On March 3, in the 144th weekly session of the International Peace Coalition dialogue, the exchange of ideas prompted IPC founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche to issue on March 9 an open call upon Pope Leo XIV to sound a clear trumpet call to rally various religions, cultures, and heads of government to respond to the “might makes right” abandonment of law and morality, and to initiate the real world steps for a new international security and development architecture.

On March 15, the American-born Pope issued a call for an immediate ceasefire in Iran and, as Zepp-LaRouche summarized the developments over the last day: “[S]hort of responding to our campaign, the open letter to the Pope, nevertheless there are a lot of statements that have come from church circles, Vatican circles, all absolutely, massively condemning this war. State Secretary Cardinal Parolin rejected the claim that this is a preventive war, by saying that they keep the dialogue open, but that this is not a preemptive war. Cardinal McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, said the war is morally unjustifiable. Chicago Cardinal Cupich said it was sickening how the White House was splicing video game imagery into social media messaging about the war…. The head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference called on all religions to seek bold solutions to war, and even the German Cardinal Marx, who is the Archbishop of Munich and former head of the German Bishops’ Conference, sharply criticized the attack by Israel and the U.S., saying that according to Catholic social teaching, this is an illegitimate war and cannot be accepted. This is quite important because normally the German Catholic Church is always more close to the government, and they never stick their neck out like that. But he called on people not to resign themselves to this. He said, we must not allow ourselves to be discouraged. Now more than ever, we must be involved both as church and individual citizens. Now that is very important.”

Today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to occupy southern Lebanon, move almost a million citizens from their homes, and carry out a “security” mission there, modelled upon what was carried out in Gaza the last two years. U.S. President Donald Trump, asked whether he knew about this plan, admitted that he did, then stumbled around saying that it had to be done to destroy Hezbollah and that it had nothing to do with most of the population.

Over the weekend, Trump had claimed U.S. air strikes had “totally demolished” much of the Kharg Island oil export hub, but added: “We may hit it a few more times just for fun.” Not one of the countries he called upon to join him in sending warships to free the Straits of Hormuz has agreed. When Britain’s Prime Minister Starmer made his refusal, he reported: “I said to them: We will remember.” China responded by telling Trump to simply stop the unnecessary war and the Straits of Hormuz would be re-opened. At every turn, he issues new threats, as a King Canute ordering the ocean waves to cease. And now, his public behavior has become a major subject of public discussion around the world.

When the emperor is naked, the little boy’s innocent question—”Why is that man wearing no clothes?”—has a massively therapeutic effect on the whole population, one that had been spending so much effort damaging their own minds and spirits, so as not to say the obvious. Ideas deployed properly, when it looks like nothing works, is what works. This is what separates Zepp-LaRouche’s conclusion today from merely naive optimism:

“So I think we are well positioned to fight for a breakthrough. A breakthrough being that we have to absolutely get the new security and development architecture on the agenda, because only if we move people into a new paradigm of axioms of thinking, where we overcome geopolitics, do we have a chance to break out of it.”

The thought that humanity is made in the image of God, with a divine spark of reason, capable of necessary and creative interventions into the world, is arguably the most weighty substance in the universe.
