Conflicts in both Iran and Ukraine have evolved over the recent days and weeks. Schiller Institute founder, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, summarized the strategic situation as follows in a discussion with associates: “The world situation remains one where the overall trajectory is towards World War III. And while the focus tends to shift between the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia theater, the underlying dynamic is that the collective West, which is quite uncollected, is nevertheless not giving up their effort to keep dominance in the situation and suppress the legitimate demand by the Global Majority for a new, more just world economic order.”

Indeed, both the United States and Iran have resumed strikes over the recent days, at least to some degree. Despite President Donald Trump having claimed that “Iran has requested a meeting” to salvage the ceasefire, and that both sides would send negotiators to Doha, Qatar for talks on Tuesday, June 30, the President was quickly rebuffed by Iranian officials. Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that there will be no talks, technical or otherwise, with the U.S. this week. An Iranian technical delegation will visit Qatar this week, but it has no relation to US officials visiting the country.

At the same time, Israel is rapidly accelerating its involvement in conflicts throughout the region, as if designed to stymie any potential cessation of hostilities. It has continued strikes into southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire signed between the two. And with regard to the so-called ceasefire, a closer look shows that it has clearly been arranged to give Israel full leeway for continuing its provocative behavior. A similar situation is also happening In Syria, as Israel expands its presence there.

In Ukraine, the situation is becoming markedly worse. Ukraine has dramatically increased and intensified its drone strikes deep into Russia over the recent period, hitting many oil infrastructure facilities. President Putin has now had two meetings with oil principals in Russia over the previous few days. While the attacks have not caused major problems along the lines crowed about in the Western media, Putin did say they have caused “certain shortages.” Russia is currently drawing on its petroleum reserves, he noted, but they are at almost the same level as this time last year. The real aim of these strikes, he said in an interview Sunday, is “to fuel … an information operation as part of the broader confrontation with Russia.”

However, as has been stated numerous times by the Russians, as well as this news service, these strikes are being done with the direct assistance of European governments, putting Europe in the crosshairs of a war which is becoming increasingly defined by terrorist strikes against civilian infrastructure. This is being accompanied by a growing drumbeat across the mainstream media in the West, egging on Ukraine and its supporters to pour even more into the war against Russia—despite Ukraine’s losing of the war and lack of people left to fight.

As is obvious, mankind is on the precipice of disaster—not because of any of the details within Southwest Asia or Ukraine, nor even because of the individuals in the Trump administration, as disastrous as they are. Rather, these are the geopolitical land mines that were set by the British Empire over the past 50 years, using their agents such as Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and others, that prevent the global powers from finding a common paradigm of cooperation. The recent upsurge of popular political action in the wake of the genocide in Gaza, the war in Iran, and the flagrant crackdown on free speech and other guaranteed rights by citizens across the world, is indicative of a situation ripe for rejecting the failed status quo. The recent elections in New York state, and the upset victories by so-called socialist candidates who merely told the truth about some of these issues, is a case in point. But what replaces the dying and failed system?

Now is the time for a true citizens movement that uplifts the level of outlook that has tolerated these crimes and accepted this condition of the world. We are now only days away from the July 4 celebration of the anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence—an occasion for Americans and citizens around the world to reflect on the principles that launched a fight against empire 250 years ago. That fight is not settled today. Will we live up to the challenge?

This past month, two teams of human beings reached into the two ends of the universe at once. In the hills of southern China, the JUNO observatory—a 20,000-ton sphere of liquid scintillator, watched by more than 43,000 light-sensors, 650 meters underground—caught the near-weightless flicker of the neutrino, and in just 59 days of operation measured the laws governing that ghostly particle more precisely than all prior experiments of recent decades combined. In those same weeks, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration published its latest catalog of gravitational waves: some 390 collisions of black holes and neutron stars have now been recorded—ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself, one of them traced to a merger more than three billion light-years away. A decade ago, we had detected exactly one.

Neither the neutrino nor the black hole can be seen, heard, or touched. They lie, as Lyndon LaRouche wrote in 2010, beyond the reach of the senses altogether: “In the very large, as the very small, the metrics of sense-perception can no longer claim authority over the principles which reside, essentially, in what Riemann points to as those extremes of our universe.” And it is precisely there, he added—”in nothing as much as those same extremes”—that the deepest laws of the universe must be sought. To discover them, humanity does not wait for biological evolution to provide us with better eyes; we build new senses. Our species is the only one we know of that reaches past its own senses to grasp the very large and the very small, and changes the universe by what we learn.

Let’s measure the present against that image of mankind.

In Switzerland, the first round of U.S.-Iran negotiations under the 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding concluded June 21 at the Bürgenstock resort, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, with the U.S. and Iran not yet speaking directly. They agreed on a roadmap to a final deal within 60 days, a High-Level Committee to oversee it, and, most consequentially, a “de-confliction cell” to ensure the end of military operations in Lebanon—which Iran’s foreign minister called the “first real test” of the negotiations. That test is already underway: Israel refuses to leave southern Lebanon (and “nothing will change it,” Prime Minister Netanyahu insists), while Iran has tied the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to a genuine Lebanese ceasefire. The potential for peace is real, and fragile.

Even should it hold, the damage is done and spreading. By energy-market reckoning, some 15 million barrels per day of oil—and its energy equivalent in liquefied natural gas—will be missing from world supply well into 2027, depressing an economy already enmeshed in the “everything bubble” of leveraged debt and derivatives. The effects will be felt, as they so often do, by the poorest. The UN’s latest “Hunger Hotspots” report warns that hundreds of millions face deepening hunger even as food and humanitarian aid is slashed. The same species that built JUNO is told there will not be enough food.

That is the contradiction of this moment. The species that can read the collision of black holes three billion years gone is told, by the managers of a dying system, that it cannot afford to house its young, feed the hungry, or build a railway across a desert. It is a failure of policy, not a lack of capability. Helga Zepp-LaRouche identifies the greatest failing directly: the refusal to recognize the indivisible nature of security and economic development of all nations. What Iran is insisting upon for relatively helpless Lebanon, and through Lebanon for the whole of the Global South, is what Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas states for all mankind—that no people may climb to heaven on a tower built by kicking the ladder away from the poor, as we said yesterday.

The Pope titled that encyclical “Magnificent Humanity.” The neutrino detector and the gravitational-wave catalog are examples of what that means—a fact about the creature said to be made in the image of the Creator, unlike any beast. Civilization organized around that truth would treat the development of every nation as the natural extension of the same creative power that built JUNO. A civilization that denies that truth of human nature, makes war on reservoirs and lets hundreds of millions go hungry.

Which of these we become is up to us. The decision is being made now, in the negotiating rooms at Lucerne, on the 60-day clock running toward a final deal, at this Friday’s International Peace Coalition mobilization, and in the streets of the nation soon to celebrate its 250th birthday. Let it be a celebration of what was once, and can be again, the great anti-colonial republic of the United States—a celebration led by LaRouche Presidential candidate Diane Sare, who will be holding an event in Philadelphia on July 5, joined by the irrepressible Congressional candidate Jose Vega.

The universe yields its deepest principles to those that reach for its extremes.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche did not mince words in discussions with colleagues on Monday when she repeated her warning that the world continues to sit on a powder keg, charged by the possible escalation of two regional crises—one in Ukraine and the other in Southwest Asia—both of which are ripe to erupt into the trigger of a devastating world war.

This risk was on full display over the past 48 hours, as missiles flew between Israel and Iran following Israel’s bombing of Lebanon on Sunday, despite Trump’s directives to Netanyahu to not blow up the possibility of a peace agreement; similarly in Crimea, a Ukrainian drone attacked a passenger train traveling to Moscow, the third such targeting of civilians in less than a week, all egged on by the psychotic “E3” leaders in Europe, who, the same day, announced from London renewed, unending military support for their Ukrainian proxy.

On the other hand, the vast majority of nations are moving to establish a new, more just system of global governance and development, a new paradigm, as was recently seen at the just-concluded St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, and more broadly in the win-win cooperation and dialogue processes of the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS, SCO, and other efforts.

The extreme and very palpable tension between these two simultaneously existing futures will not and cannot be resolved—at least not in a direction that ensures the survival of civilization—without addressing the underlying, false axioms that got us into this very dangerous mess in the first place.

“Today we confirm that the decisive question remains the same,” Pope Leo XIV told an audience of thousands gathered in Madrid on June 7. “What does it mean to be truly human?”

This question is at the center of solving today’s existential crises; it is the principal issue for statecraft, economics, culture, science, education, and relations among nations.

“The desire for goodness, beauty and truth is rooted in the very DNA of humanity,” the Pope declared, as he went on to develop a concept of love-in-action to build a world based on human dignity. The goodness and creative power of the human mind recognized by Pope Leo are the basis of Lyndon and Helga LaRouche’s organizing over the past five decades for a new system of development for the entire planet, which Helga Zepp-LaRouche has renewed in her call for a new security and development architecture based on the principle “that man is fundamentally good and capable to infinitely perfect the creativity of his mind and the beauty of his soul.”

The goodness and unity of humankind was also the central issue of the American Revolution and the formation of the American republic. Why, then, would Americans tolerate that the celebration of our 250th year of independence from the slavery of empire be marked by a caged fight on the lawn of the White House? Why would we permit anything less than the highest expressions of beauty to represent the founding of our nation? Have we all become beasts?

What about the bestiality tolerated by those in the West, poor Lethean heirs of a profound history of ideas and statecraft, as we watch our nations march to impose war and poverty on other countries at the behest of a yet-to-be-prosecuted Epstein-class of elites?

“The most important thing is that we in Europe and America must rediscover our souls,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche urged at the Schiller Institute conference in Berlin on May 30. “America, as it was founded 250 years ago, was an anti-colonial and anti-imperialist bastion of freedom. And we in Europe must rekindle in our hearts and minds the love of humanity that was self-evident to Dante Alighieri, Joan of Arc, Leibniz, Schiller, and Beethoven. We must send a clear message to Russia, to China, to Africa, indeed to the whole world, that we neither intend to perish in a Third World War nor allow our magnificent cultural tradition…to continue to fade into oblivion. Rather, we must make a sacred commitment to let these pearls of human culture, through a dialogue of cultures and civilizations, together blossom into a new Renaissance of humanity.”

Answer Zepp-LaRouche’s call to action at this decisive moment in history, in which we still have a chance to decide in which direction humanity will go. Circulate the proceedings of that Berlin conference, “The End of 500 Years of Colonialism—For a Dialogue of Civilizations: The Urgency of a New Global Security and Development Architecture,” and organize.

Take what Pope Leo told a gathering of 600,000 youth on June 7 as your mission assignment: “In the face of the emptiness of indifference and compliance, before the violence of war and lies, you must be the sparks of a new humanity.”

At 10:00 Tuesday morning in New York, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi opens the United Nations Security Council’s high-level debate, “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” Secretary-General António Guterres briefs. Foreign ministers and senior diplomats of the world’s nations are in the chamber. Implicitly before them is the proposal “To the Governments of the United Nations: A Policy To Bring Peace and Development to Southwest Asia,” circulated since May 17 by the Schiller Institute and the International Peace Coalition — the operational synthesis of the four-point regional framework former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu set out at the May 15 EIR Roundtable and the Extended Oasis Plan proposed there by Helga Zepp-LaRouche.

Two days later, on Thursday May 28, Wang Yi participates in the Group of Friends of Global Governance meeting in New York — the 43-country coalition, predominantly drawn from the Global South, launched at the UN on December 9, 2025 to advance President Xi Jinping’s Global Governance Initiative. Across the same window, the Russian Federation opens its First International Security Conference in the Moscow region with 140 delegations from 120 nations. And the foreign ministers of the United States, India, Japan, and Australia convene the Quad in New Delhi the same day as the UNSC debate. Multiple diplomatic architectures, on parallel display in a single week.

The present moment will not wait. Russia’s Foreign Ministry today announced a sustained campaign of strikes against the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex in Kiev, with explicit warnings to foreign diplomatic personnel to leave the city — and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov phoned U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to inform him personally. The May 23–24 retaliation that triggered the announcement used an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile — nuclear-capable, with no NATO defense against it. But to read this only as retaliation for Starobelsk is to miss the longer shape of what is happening. Across the Russian expert and political spectrum — from Karaganov and Trenin to Medvedev, Ryabkov, and Polyanskiy, with senior military analysts naming twelve European drone-production sites as legitimate targets — the question being asked aloud in Moscow is no longer whether to escalate, but how, and against whom. Helga Zepp-LaRouche warned on Monday: “I am really extremely concerned that this thing can go out of control very, very quickly.” Whether the human race survives this passage is not an idle question.

The Iran picture is mixed, and possibly more hopeful — but against a coordinated effort to render it moot. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (re-elected today), Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati arrived in Doha for talks on the terms — frozen-assets release, Strait of Hormuz, uranium enrichment — that Pakistani and Chinese mediation have brought close to closure. The same day, Israel launched its largest wave of attacks on southern Lebanon in months, and the U.S. military carried out what CENTCOM called “self-defense” strikes on Iranian missile launch sites, small boats, and two empty Iranian-flagged tankers near the Strait. A last shot before a peace agreement, or a deliberate effort to scuttle it. The deal as currently structured — sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear concession — remains, as Trita Parsi argued on May 23, hostage to whoever next chooses to break it. The structure that would actually hold is the one Davutoğlu and Zepp-LaRouche have set out: a regional security architecture combined with the Extended Oasis Plan, a layered diplomatic and developmental order that makes war impossible among countries whose economies and cultures have come to depend on each other’s success.

Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on Monday. It had been signed on May 15, the 135th anniversary of his namesake Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum and the same day as the EIR Roundtable. Leo XIV’s central arguments — that the pursuit of profit cannot justify the systematic destruction of jobs, that autonomous weapons cannot be allowed to make use-of-force decisions, that the moral fitness of civilization is what is finally at stake — echo, in another voice, the framework EIR and the Schiller Institute have placed before the world.

That the proposal now in the UN’s hands has been carried by the Moscow-based journal New Eastern Outlook — written by an IPC contributor, Tamer Mansour, who reconstructs Lyndon LaRouche’s 1990 dictum that “without a policy of economic development, the Arabs and Israelis have no common basis for political agreement: no common interest” — is a concrete measure of how far the Davutoğlu-LaRouche framework has traveled in just ten days.

The question Davutoğlu answered at the May 15 Roundtable is the question put to the foreign ministers this week: “The best way to peace is economic interdependency. There is no other way. Whenever you have economic interdependency, nobody will be starting a war.” It is also the question Lyndon LaRouche pressed on Western policymakers from 1990 onward. Writing from his prison cell in February 1991 to mark the centenary of Rerum Novarum, LaRouche warned that “any society which defies those considerations is threatening its own continued existence … a society which is not only losing the moral fitness to survive, but which, by God’s clock, will not long survive in its present form.”

Zepp-LaRouche made the case again today in the same idiom: “Unless we succeed in getting a debate on the need to have a new security and development architecture, which must take into account the interest of every single country, it will not work.” Whether tomorrow’s UNSC debate gets us that conversation, or whether the diplomatic moment is allowed to pass, is genuinely uncertain. What is not uncertain is what must be done.

At the conclusion of a turbulent discussion with members of the International LaRouche movement, Helga Zepp-LaRouche advised that when facing doubt and confusion, as is quite common in this moment of incredible tension and danger, one should turn to the works of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, German poet of freedom Friedrich Schiller, and her late husband, the American genius Lyndon LaRouche.

She said, “But I think what Lyn had set out to do was something much more fundamental, by trying to correct the axiomatic flaws in the thinking of why people again and again produce political ideas which lead to catastrophe.”

Take, for example, LaRouche’s comments to New Hampshire voters when he was campaigning for U.S. President in 1996:

“What’s needed there, is for someone to do the terrible things that I do. More people. Is to go out and insult my fellow Americans, but in a loving way. Say, ‘Look, you guys have been behaving like idiots. You’re like the guy who went back to the same used-car dealer that sold you the car without the engine last year, and you bought it again! You’ve got to realize that you may not have concocted these evils, but you, who have a brain, who could have used it, should have gotten wise to this racket, before now. So, why don’t you give up the idea that everything has to be simple, everything has to be stupid, everything has to be in bite-size answers, and let’s talk about it, and let’s think!’”

Does that apply today? How is it that we, the American people, have elected presidents who are clinically insane in succession? Why do we allow the people who are called “representatives” to not represent us?

With the leadership provided by the LaRouche movement on both sides of the Atlantic, this situation is changing.

Thirty Democratic Party Representatives have written a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking about Israel’s nuclear weapons. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) to end the funding of the Iran war.

The majority of the world’s population rejects war and genocide. The majority of the world’s population is represented by leaders who are striving to bring their nations into a new dynamic of cooperative relations, not winner-take-all, not survival of the fittest, but win-win cooperation.

Somehow, President Vladimir Putin of Russia managed to convince President Donald Trump that he had to put the screws on Zelenskyy and prevent a “Ukrainian” (British-directed) assault on the V-E Day celebration in Moscow.

In two days, unless the Anglo-Zionist Epstein-class billionaires manage to sabotage it, President Donald Trump will be meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing. China is a nation of 1.4 billion people with a very big economy— an economy much larger than that of the United Kingdom, represented by King Charles. What new agreements might emerge as a result of this meeting?

The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the looming danger of an escalation of warfare by the United States and Israel against Iran is going to cause massive economic hardship, even if the war is ended at this moment. The extent of the danger is not really understood by most people in the Western world, but they will soon feel it and, in their desperation, will be much more susceptible to these solutions being put forward by LaRouche’s associates.

To that end, LaRouche Independent presidential candidate Diane Sare is holding a webcast tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET, with Jason Ross, on an economic recovery plan for the people of the United States. On Friday, at 11:00 a.m. ET, Helga Zepp-LaRouche will convene an EIR Emergency Round Table “The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy”

Mobilize everybody on the planet to tune in on Friday at 11:00 a.m.

Over the past 30 hours, the United States escalated the conflict in its war against Iran, when U.S. President Donald Trump on May 2 declared that U.S. “Project Freedom” would begin today, for the U.S. military to control transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. CentCom statement declared that the U.S. Navy will provide “guidance” for ships’ passage, and oppose Iranian interference with force. CentCom reported U. S. forces include “guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms, and 15,000 service members.” There may be a Pentagon briefing on the situation Tuesday, May 5.

A statement from Iran was issued early on May 4 by Iranian Major General Ali Abdollahi, reaffirming the right of Iran to control its waters, and posting a map showing the line across the Persian Gulf above and below the Strait of Hormuz, inside which Iran declares its sovereignty to control transit.

As of this evening reports continue to come out, sometimes conflicting, of warning shots, damage to ships, and the U.S. claim to have sunk six small Iran boats. It is reported that officials from Iran and Oman will be conferring imminently, as the two littoral nations that have worked together for decades on safe navigation. Meantime, the U.A.E. is caught in the middle of the conflict. The UN has a navigation corridor scheme on standby, worked out by a multi-agency taskforce commissioned in mid-March, including the International Maritime Organization. Their goals include providing exodus for the 200 vessels and 20,000 seamen trapped for weeks in the blockade, and also expediting vital flows of commodities and humanitarian cargo.

However, the Trump Administration opposes the principle of international law of the United Nations. The U.S. and Israel continue unilateral action, not only in the Gulf region, but also Israel is striking Lebanon and Gaza hard. Today, Trump posted on social media that Iran will be “blown off the face of the Earth,” if it targets U.S. ships in the Strait. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz announced he will prepare a UN Security Council resolution, along with the U.A.E., against Iran. Waltz last week called for other nations to join the U.S.-led “Maritime Freedom Construct.”

All the while, the worldwide economic shocks grow by the hour, given the shutdown of vital flows of oil, gas, naphtha, fertilizers, sulphur and other commodities through the Gulf. A grim warning of the life-and-death implications for food was given by Svein Tore Holsether, CEO of Yara International, the world’s biggest fertilizer company, based in Norway, who said April 30 that he foresees a scenario of a “global auction” of fertilizer coming into being, where fertilizer goes to the highest bidder and the poor lose out. Yara operates in 60 countries, and sells in dozens more; its fertilizer prices to farmers are up 80% since March.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute leader, used the analogy of “the noose tightening around the neck of humanity” to describe the consequences of allowing all this to continue. To further decisive action to stop the madness, this news service will sponsor its fourth international (online) roundtable this year, of experts conferring on the emergency situation, to mobilize forces to intervene. The date is tentatively set for Friday, May 15, to be conducted concurrently with the weekly International Peace Coalition. An invitation in multiple languages is forthcoming.

Provocations abound. Today a high-rise apartment building in Moscow was hit by Ukraine attack drones, with the obvious implication of targeting the person of President Vladimir Putin. Moreover, the strike took place only days before Russia’s May 9 observance of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The drone attack took place as the eighth summit of the European Political Community of some 48 nations, plus EU and NATO leaders, in Yerevan, Armenia discussed new multibillion-dollar funding for Kiev to keep the Ukraine proxy war against Russia going. This grouping was initiated by French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

There are forces in motion for diplomacy and intervention to stop this warfare. One important focus this month is May 26, when China, rotating President of the UN Security Council for May, will hold a special UNSC open debate at the ministerial level on “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will chair the discussion, and more than the 15 member nations of the UNSC are likely to participate.

This is the direction to take, without delay. Zepp-LaRouche called on everyone to support this initiative for humanity. She warned today that we are in “a period of heightened military tension and danger. Something can go awfully wrong at any moment.”

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.
