On October 22, 1962, President Kennedy said in a televised address, that the build-up of Soviet missiles in Cuba “in an area well-known to have a special and historical relationship to the U.S….is a deliberately provocative and unjustified change in the status quo which cannot be accepted by this country.” A very similar message has been sent by Russian President Putin to Trans-Atlantic leaders regarding the ongoing efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, and place offensive weapons on the borders of Russia. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko said on Saturday, “We have reached our red line….The moment of truth has come.” The Soviets responded to JFK by removing the missiles, and opening a back channel for discussion, thus avoiding war. What will U.S. and NATO leaders do today?Read JFK’s Address at this link: https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/historic-speeches/address-during-the-cuban-missile-crisis
Joe Biden is on his way to Europe today to participate in a series of summits, with his minder, Tony “Rules-Based Order” (RBO) Blinken, faithfully at his side. What has been pre-scripted to occur — if this week’s Congressional testimony by Blinken is an accurate foretaste — will be a disaster for humanity, as geopolitical provocations against Russia and China would most likely turn out badly for all. But the G7 and NATO can’t presume to speak for everyone, as many nations are looking to Russia and China as defenders of the principle of sovereignty, against the arbitrary unilateralism espoused by the imperial authors of the RBO.
Joe Biden’s op ed in the {Washington Post} on June 6, outlining his “strategy” for the upcoming series of summits, shows the degree to which he is operating within the dangerous framework of British-scripted geopolitical axioms. “Alliance of Democratic States”, “adherence to Rules-Based Order”, addressing the “challenges posed by Russia and China” are some of the phrases which reflect those axioms. But at the same time, there is a growing recognition among some security and defense officials of the “growing risk of a security crisis…leading to nuclear use”, if these axioms are not changed. We intend to change them! Sign up for the Schiller Institute’s online conference on June 26-27 TODAY.
President Putin, in reflecting on present U.S.-British-NATO policies — which include endless wars and endless sanctions — said that he can see, as a former citizen of the Soviet Union — that the U.S. “is now walking the Soviet Union’s path, and its gait is confident and steady.” Look at the murderous effects of the Caesar Sanctions against Syria, which besides denying food, medicine and other essential products to people victimized by a dirty war, in which the U.S. backed Islamic terrorists, threaten to punish any country or company which would aid in the reconstruction of that nation. This does not protect the people of the U.S. nor serve their interests, but is done to defend those who have proclaimed a unilateral “Rules-Based Order”, to benefit the imperial corporate cartel interests, which includes the intent to carry out regime change in Russia and China.
In the last ten days, there has been a flurry of diplomatic discussion prompted by the U.S.-U.K.-NATO insistence that Russia is about to invade Ukraine. Putin has been busy, making the case that it is the Trans-Atlantic nations which are the aggressors, that they are launching provocations in the Ukraine-Black Sea region, and in the Indo-Pacific. The dream of some deranged geopoliticians, that they could replay the efforts of Henry Kissinger in the 1974-76 period, to pit Russia and China against each other, suffered a probable fatal blow with the Putin-Xi summit yesterday. While Blinken, Stoltenberg and Truss are huffing and bluffing, an alliance of sovereign nations, committed to peaceful economic cooperation, is growing. Can the American people outflank the London-Wall St. corporate geopoliticians, and bring the U.S. in on the side of the alliance of sovereign states?
Friday Questions: With the upcoming Putin-Biden summit, there were several questions about what we can expect: Will anything be accomplished? What would you consider a successful summit? Will there be efforts to sabotage it? A second question referred to the idea of a “Clean Green Initiative” put forward to counter China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative, asking if it is designed to split the world into two camps, as was done after World War II, with the Cold War. A third question asked about how to make more clear to the general public the degree of evil represented by today’s neo-Malthusian elites.
Before the June 16 summit between Presidents Putin and Biden, there will be summits of the G7 in the UK and NATO in Brussels. The main topic of these summits, announced in ongoing pre-summit meetings, will be coordination to “confront systemic challenges from Russia and China”. This was the message of British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, and seconded by U.S. officials Lloyd Austin, the U.S. Defense Secretary, and Secretary of State Blinken. The G7 is expected to unveil its “alternative” to China’s global Belt-and-Road infrastructure initiative, the “Clean Green Initiative”, and its new “Alliance of Democratic States”, which Blinken said will provide robust support for the phony “Rules-Based Order”. These are a public relations cover for geopolitical provocations of the War Hawks, to defend their highly unpopular “Great Reset”; keep an eye out for Fake News and False Flags, designed to disrupt any serious effort in the Putin-Biden summit, to move toward cooperative agreements on addressing the systemic breakdown underway.

There is no better example of the fraud behind the Biden administration’s “Summit for Democracy” than the attempt to murder whistleblower publisher Julian Assange. His crime? Publishing documents exposing war crimes committed by U.S. forces in Iraq, and covered up by U.S. officials. The U.S. is proceeding with the case to extradite Assange from the U.K., where he continues to be held in Belmarsh prison. As Assange awaits a predetermined guilty verdict if he is extradited to the U.S., the same networks he exposed for war crimes in Iraq are running yellow-journalist reports on Russia’s alleged plans for a military attack on Ukraine, risking the danger of triggering World War III.
It is an article of faith for many Americans that the U.S. is in a battle to restore its full sovereign rights, which have been under assault for the last 50 years by globalists and neoliberals. Yet many who are engaged in this battle fall prey to the lying narratives against Russia and China, which are fabricated by the same Davos globalist networks which played a key role in running the Russiagate hoax, because the leaders of those nations refuse to surrender their sovereignty. As the Davos crew is building up the power of central banks to take away the sovereign powers of all governments, and impose an anti-human “Green New Deal”, we have a powerful tool which can be employed against them, by restoring Glass Steagall bank separation, and doing it in alliance with other sovereign nations, including Russia and China. Don’t be a sucker for the globalists’ lies — join the Schiller Institute’s anti-Malthusian movement, and sign up for our conference on June 26-7.
The discussion of “de-escalation” from the threatening situation around Ukraine did not last long. While Biden affirmed that he never intended to engage U.S. troops against Russia if a war broke out in Ukraine, the war hawks met at a G7 Foreign Ministers meeting, threatening “devastating consequences” if Russia would invade Ukraine, even as they were goading on Ukraine’s neo-Nazi extremists in the defense and security forces to provoke a confrontation in eastern Ukraine. Read Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s statement, “Psychotics Are Threatening Our Existence! Germany Must Leave NATO!”, to understand what’s behind the war drive, and how to counter it.
