Just recently, the Schiller Institute conducted a very successful online conference presenting the Oasis Plan for a comprehensive economic development perspective for all of Southwest Asia, however, the strategic situation is moving closer to the point of no return.

Two recent votes underline the urgency to expand our efforts dramatically. The veto by the US denying Palestine the requested status as a full member of the UN clearly has thrown back the possibility to end the horrible, unprecedented catastrophe in Gaza. This veto is an historic travesty, which is isolating the US and its allies further from the countries of the Global Majority, who will not forget what is happening now in front of the eyes of the world. Secondly, the vote by the US House of Representatives to provide another $95 billion for weapons and other military operations in Ukraine, Israel and the Pacific region represents a gigantic step further in bringing the world to the abyss of a global nuclear war.

Why is the spectacular failure of U.S. representative government and leadership, seen in Saturday’s “bipartisan,” “democratic” $100 billion vote to continue to finance the no-win depopulation wars in Gaza and Ukraine, a de facto active provocation for World War Three? And what can be done to reverse that failure?

April 15, 2024 (EIRNS)—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, in two discussions with colleagues on Monday, stressed that, in this potentially catastrophic world situation, it is essential that the proceedings of the Saturday Schiller Institute conference, The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia,” be made available in a condensed format within 48 hours. The United Nations will see discussions in the next days which could prove to be momentous. The Schiller Institute comprehensively presented the Lyndon LaRouche insight, still controversial to many, that a comprehensive physical-economic solution must either accompany, or precede, any efficient proposal for the resolution of the population wars in Ukraine and in the Gaza/West Bank.


This new approach, based on the idea that peace is only possible if all sides recognize their economic interest in common development, must be brought into the upcoming debate on war or peace that is currently taking place both in the United Nations and on the streets and in the homes of the transatlantic world. We must bring about a rapid change of heart in the United States and Europe, to which the global majority can respond positively. The joint international reconstruction of Gaza as part of a newly recognized Palestinian state is the only chance to overcome this terrible tragedy.

This is the method which the Independent campaigns of Diane Sare and Jose Vega have espoused. It is the method which the Schiller institute Oasis conference advocates. And it is the method that can restore self-government, based on the principle of the General Welfare, to the failed states of the trans-Atlantic world.

April 8, 2024 (EIRNS)—The British-American gambit to use NATO’s advance through Ukraine to demolish Russia and overthrow the Putin government, has been a monumental failure, as even the blind can see. A half-million Ukrainian lives later, what does the London-Washington axis propose to do? Double down on strategic stupidity, and now send NATO troops directly to Ukraine, and dance right up to the brink of thermonuclear war with Russia.

The Netanyahu government—with Washington and London’s full complicity—has engaged in genocide in Gaza with such chutzpah that it has earned them all a well-deserved place in the docket of a new Nuremberg Tribunal. Are they at last looking for a way to settle matters through negotiations? Don’t hold your breath.

Rather, the NATO war machine is aggressively expanding into the Pacific theater, a policy which will be pushed hard at this week’s summit meeting of President Biden with Japan’s Kishida and the Philippines’ Marcos—with some think-tankers even proposing that the U.S. go to war with China over the Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea! And NATO is also rapidly spreading its reach into the South Atlantic as well, with last week’s visit to Argentina by the head of the U.S. Southern Command, General Laura Richardson.

Why is this happening? Can we not learn from our mistakes?

“I think that the larger problem, larger than the specifics of Ukraine, NATO against Russia, danger of widening of the Middle East war, the larger issue is geopolitics,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche argued in a discussion with associates today. “Because even if one would find a solution to the Ukraine war and the Middle East war, as long as the West—meaning NATO, the U.S., EU, U.K.—as long as they are determined to keep the neoliberal unipolar dominance of the world, and regard emerging countries as enemies, and all the more so when they are allied with China, Russia and the BRICS in building a new system; as long as they regard that as the enemy, they will keep finding war scenarios.”

Zepp-LaRouche continued: “That is why only our approach (will work): first to demonstrate the concept of peace through development with the Oasis Plan, but then in a larger way to establish a new security and development architecture, where the principle of peace through development is applied to the whole world. Unless we accomplish that, I don’t think this present escalation to World War III will cease, simply because the scenarios and theaters may shift and change, but the overall oligarchical imperial control as a motivation will remain.”

Zepp-LaRouche then pointed to the importance of this week’s filing by Nicaragua before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, charging Germany with violating the Genocide Convention by sending large amounts of weapons to Israel—which itself has been ordered by the ICJ to cease its actions in Gaza which constitute a plausible case of genocide. “The fact that this took place is absolutely important,” Zepp-LaRouche stated. “No matter what the ruling elites may think, that they can just ignore it and reject it, you can be sure that the eyes of the Global South and the whole world will be on that situation.”

“It is the case of humanity which is on trial, and not just the plight of the Palestinians,” she concluded. “So let’s organize up a storm for the Oasis Plan conference on April 13, and let’s keep in mind that we need to get to a new paradigm altogether.”

Israel has launched a missile strike against the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. Among those killed was a brigadier general of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. As international opprobrium against Israel grows, is this an effort to broaden the war? To force the direct participation of the United States, for example?

As the meat grinder in Ukraine continues, more voices are pointing out the obvious: Ukraine—with the “support” NATO has been providing it—cannot defeat Russia. Even Macron has indirectly acknowledged this with his proposal for directly deploying troops to Ukraine. Former German Gen. Harold Kujat (ret.) has said that if Ukraine does not negotiate, it may not exist. Elon Musk, whose Starlink system is crucial to the Ukrainian military activities, has said the same.

Israel’s attempts to shore up its fast-eroding support on the international stage are not working; is forcing support by broadening the war the new strategy? NATO leaders have incongruously claimed not only that Ukrainian membership in NATO would have prevented Russia from daring to invade but also that Russia will march on (NATO) Western Europe after finishing with Ukraine.

In an environment filled with as many paradoxes as the present, even the most persistent ostrich would have trouble keeping its head in the sand. Who could fail to see the incongruities demanding greater understanding, were it not for the numbing effects of such things as drugs, alcohol, and surrender to social media and doomscrolling, to occupy the mind till the opportunity for thought has expired?

In both cases—that of Gaza and Ukraine the status quo cannot continue: a shift will occur. But what will it be?

An avalanche of change is required. A growing call to achieve a new paradigm of security, intertwined with economic, cultural, and technological development. While events can prompt reflection, resolution comes from within.

Against the backdrop of the horrors confronting the world, we can use the beauty of the human species, the immense good and joy that can come with a thriving, peaceful future, to develop the inner devotion to overcome our inertia and implement a system of international and social relations that make possible the resolution of the seemingly irreconcilable.

Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan, presented afresh through an upcoming April 13 Schiller Institute conference, paints, paradoxically, the global environment in which peace is possible, as reified through a detailed plan for the development of water, transport, and energy infrastructure in Southwest Asia, to transform a zone of conflict into a crossroads of connectivity.

As the world shifts, how can it be ensured that it moves toward peace, rather than annihilation?

Even as the March 22 terror attack in Russia, the sharply escalating Russia-Ukraine war, and ongoing NATO plans to put boots on the ground in Ukraine threaten to push the planet over the edge into thermonuclear war, those who would stop such insanity should take careful note of two developments over the last 48 hours.

First, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), who represent a growing current among American military and intelligence circles, issued a March 24 urgent open letter to President Joe Biden, “VIPS MEMO: The French Road to Nuclear War” (“Subject: On the Brink of Nuclear War”) in which they warn that French President Emmanuel Macron’s repeated calls to put NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine “would be leading the American people down a path toward a nuclear conflict decidedly not in the interests of the American people—or of humanity itself.”

Second, a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was finally approved on March 25—because the United States didn’t veto it, like it had every previous such resolution, but this time only abstained. This is a far cry from what is needed to actually stop the genocide underway and provide humanitarian life support to Gaza’s 2.3 million people—let alone to implement a full development program, such as LaRouche’s Oasis Plan—but it does show that the Biden administration is feeling the political heat.

The heat is coming from a shocked American population, many of whom have taken to the streets to make their opposition to the genocide known—and threaten Biden’s reelection. And the heat is also coming from a rapidly growing majority of what is already the Global Majority of nations and peoples, who have made it clear that they will no longer submit to 500 years of colonial rule and more modern looting of their economies by the speculative policies of the bankrupt City of London and Wall Street financial system.

The Schiller Institute, and allies such as those in the International Peace Coalition, have been intensely involved in organizing the forces to make that political heat grow, both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as the nations of the South. From that we draw a simple conclusion: Organizing works! But a lot more needs to be done, and quickly.

As Helga Zepp-LaRouche said in a discussion with associates today:

“I think we are on a very steep and potentially very short trajectory towards nuclear war, if we do not succeed to somehow inject some reason into the situation. And the key problem is still what Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán characterized as the two galaxies, when he attended the EU summit in Brussels, where he said when he saw what kind of warmongering trip these people were on, it was like entering a second galaxy.

“You have some people who are extremely aware of it and are in actual shock and horror about what the implications of this are; and then you have on the other side, the representatives of the other galaxy, who think they can drive this forward endlessly without any result, or with assumed capitulation or defeat of Russia, which in the world of nuclear weapons is an impossibility. So, it is really breathtaking….

“The world is clearly in a terrible, dangerous condition. I think that we really have to mobilize to get some kind of a breakthrough… [make our] Oasis Plan conference a real demonstration that there is a completely different method of conflict resolution, which is peaceful development…. We have to get people to step forward and not sit like rabbits in front of a snake until it is too late.”

What Putin’s Re-election Means for NATO’s War Hawks

Look at Vladimir Putin’s re-election in Russia. Contrary to most of what was written in trans-Atlantic nations, it was not only fair, and an accurate reflection of what Western pollsters have themselves consistently recorded about Putin’s popularity. It was also a referendum on the war against Russia, which Russians knew, or came to realize, was being run by NATO, and not by Ukraine. Further, that “Ukraine” war, is a war into which Ukraine itself was seduced, even if largely willingly, not by Russia, but by NATO. (Britain’s Boris Johnson’s notorious role in destroying the 2022 peace negotiations is well-known.) The war was intended as a violent intervention into the Russian electoral process, was provoked two years earlier than that election, and included a “financial nuclear war” in the form of sanctions, and the de facto expropriation of $300 billion in Russian holdings. There were unsuccessful attempts to provoke a violent coup in the streets. There were even drone-attack military assaults on Russia, and the Kremlin itself, possibly involving NATO capabilities, reminiscent of the attacks on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

And what was the result? The result was “incommensurable” with what NATO intended, in every way. The Russian economy is stronger than before; sectors of Ukraine have voted to join the nation of Russia; and Vladimir Putin will be President of that nation for six more years, if not longer, with a degree of support not enjoyed by any politician anywhere in the trans-Atlantic “NATO” sector for decades. Russia also now enjoys immense popularity among the nations of the Global Majority, particularly the African nations, because it has not only survived, but advanced. When NATO forces attempted to recruit nations from the Global South/Global Majority to denounce the Russian electoral results, they were able to convince, essentially, no one.

In remarks to reporters last night, following confirmation of his election victory, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that a direct conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led NATO military alliance would mean the planet was one step away from World War Three, a scenario hardly anybody wants. Putin was responding to a question from Reuters, regarding French President Emmanuel Macron’s Feb. 26 comments about not ruling out the deployment of NATO ground troops in Ukraine in the future. In response, Putin said: “Everything is possible in the modern world.”

“It is clear to everyone, that this will be one step away from a full-scale World War Three. I think hardly anyone is interested in this,” Putin said further. He added, though, that NATO military personnel were present already in Ukraine, saying that Russia had picked up both English and French being spoken on the battlefield. “There is nothing good in this, first of all for them, because they are dying there and in large numbers,” he said.

What should this teach intelligent people in “NATO world?” Some have asked, does the Wall Street/London axis have a Plan B? Is there another faction that may come to power that realizes that their “Project Democracy” show has closed? Are there any signs of intelligent life among the governments and governing factions of the failed states of the NATO alliance? Can anyone any longer think outside of the boundary conditions of their intellectual “Flatland?” The “Ten Principles” of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and the LaRouche Oasis Plan, a policy-application of the Ten Principles, are the essential “intelligence test” of the moment, for those in the trans-Atlantic that would  want to know how to grow the “mind power” that might yet allow them to survive the hereditary stupidity of their failed, and failing axioms.

We are in an incredibly dangerous situation. Global NATO and echelons of the singular and collective “West” are perpetrating conflict and evil on the scale of mass suffering and death in Ukraine, and many other places, which is at the degree of genocide in Gaza.

There are voices speaking out against this, and, moreover, they are warning of the ultimate danger of nuclear war and annihilation. In the Trans-Atlantic, the battle is joined to stop this process of doom. For example, in the U.S. a letter went to President Biden on March 7, from hundreds of rabbis and cantors, calling for the U.S. to stop backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “There is no military solution” in Gaza, they wrote.

But the killing and destruction continue. Those responsible have learned nothing from the lessons of their military and insurgency “interventions,” resulting in vast destruction in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, and more. Senior journalist Simon Jenkins wrote in The Guardian on March 5, “The crass ineptitude of a quarter of a century of western military interventions should have taught us some lessons. Apparently not.” (“NATO Is Growing Restless over Ukraine, and Russia’s German Military Leak Proves It.”)

What we can rely on, is that the intervention will succeed, of spreading the “Oasis Plan” approach of mutual economic development.

March 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—We are warned: “Whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad.” But what if the gods are also crazy? Is there a higher law than the madness of the gods, that prevails over the affairs of man and nature? Is there, truly, an arc to a moral universe that bends towards justice, a physically pre-existent, efficient, knowable and accessible shaper of the future?

Whoever is actually responsible for the recent exposé of the “intercepted” Germany/NATO discussions of Feb. 19 about deploying Taurus missiles to destroy the Kerch Bridge in Russia, one thing should be obvious from Russia’s 2014 interception of the infamous Victoria Nuland “F— the EU” phone call. There is no doubt that the presence of French, British and American “contract military personnel” in Ukraine, as specialists and “technical advisors,” is fully known and taken into account by Russia’s military. The Taurus missile’s range means that it can reach Moscow, and if Germany provides that missile to Ukraine, there is no doubt that doing so is an act of war against Russia that must be responded to, if that becomes necessary, with maximum retaliation. So the “intercept” should tell us that we are being rapidly set on the path to thermonuclear war, whatever popular delusion may propose to the contrary.

Therefore, today, as with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, this is a time to break silence. Leaders must emerge from within the cultural Inferno of the trans-Atlantic world that take intellectual arms against this Utopian faction, before it is too late—as it already very well may be. There is reason for hope, seen in various expressions of independent leadership, accompanied by voters, demonstrators and others who are supporting their efforts.

In two interviews with Global Times in the context of the “2 sessions” currently taking place in China, Helga Zepp-LaRouche is quoted in a first interview as saying that she is hopeful the two sessions, as one of China’s most important political events, will show the world the way forward in terms of how to overcome the mistaken view that a country or a group of countries must defend its interests against another group by any means necessary. In another interview, Zepp-LaRouche said: “Chinese foreign policy has proven to be an anchor of stability. The biggest danger now is the two regional conflicts: the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Palestine conflict. And China has made comprehensive diplomatic proposals for both crises, showing the path to a peaceful solution. The extension of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) could play a decisive role in reconstruction for the countries involved in conflict in the context of a regional development perspective. The Schiller Institute has also proposed a concrete economic development plan, the Oasis plan, which could bring peace for all countries involved.”

We must break the LaRouche Oasis Plan into the public discourse. In doing so, we make it the intellectual property of millions. They, by “owning” the Oasis Plan, can expropriate the “British Empire of the mind” that has subjugated them to believe in Malthusian no-win outcomes, when win-win solutions are readily available. We can counteract and overcome the spiritual desert created over the past half-century-plus in the souls of citizens who have been too cowardly to speak out from the silence, even in the face of the slaughter of tens of thousands in Gaza. “Either mankind will put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind,” has never been truer than now. That noble task has also never been more achievable.

Break Out of the Permanent War Paradigm with the LaRouche Solution

In discussion with associates today, Helga Zepp-LaRouche emphasized that if you take inventory of the major developments in the world, this year is shaping up to be a very volatile year. Brazilian President Lula da Silva is heading the G20, Hungarian President Viktor Orbán is heading the EU, Russia is heading the BRICS, and Trump is likely to win the U.S. election. So the landscape in the world is guaranteed to be in flux. Add to this the fragility of the financial system which could collapse at any moment, the plan to introduce a new reserve currency, and the BRICS nations continuing to become the dominant dynamic in the world. Taken together, it is clear that the whole world could shift in the direction of a new economic system—unless of course a nuclear war is started to prevent it.

Given this situation, Zepp-LaRouche said the following:

“The only rational thing people in the United States and Europe could do is to give up this godforsaken geopolitical disease whereby you have to defeat an enemy to win, to have a zero-sum game. ‘Either you win or I lose.’ This is a completely wrong conception and the universe does not work this way, because the universe is organized in an anti-entropic way, such that if you push innovation and you push higher orders of things, you are in cohesion with the laws of the universe. Therefore, the existence of win-win cooperation on the planet would be in cohesion with the laws of the universe, while the insistence on an entropic lose-lose or zero-sum game is simply not in reality with the laws of the universe. We have to bring the political and economic order on the planet in cohesion with the laws of the universe to get to a durable peace and durable existence of human civilization.”

This responsibility rests on the shoulders of those in the United States in particular, a nation which is currently giving its nod of acceptance to a genocide in Gaza. As in the case of the self-immolation of Airman Aaron Bushnell on Feb. 25, even the best and most patriotic young people in America do not see any options to stop the horror being carried out in their own name, though many desperately want and yearn for one. It is therefore the task of the LaRouche movement, through the Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, to restore the humanity and mission of the United States—a nation whose true traditions must urgently be restored now.

If historians will have the opportunity to look back on the human race in 2024, they will undoubtedly identify this period as a defining moment in history. No, not because of a showdown between “democracy” and “autocracy,” nor over “liberal” versus “traditional” values. Nor because of a “culture war” or a fight over our national or personal identities. This moment will be a defining period because it’s the end of a system which can no longer continue to exist, no matter which culture, ideology, or political system takes power. The oligarchical system is dying, and resistance to it, along with a passionate commitment to build a better future, is growing.

The political and moral failure of this system has never been in more of a stark, if horrific, relief, providing a window of clarity for those prepared to act. The special statement released yesterday, “‘Knew or Should Have Known’: Governments Complicit in Genocide Will Not Be Able To Plead Ignorance at the Coming Nuremberg Tribunal,” is the leading edge for the kind of political action needed now.

Citizens of the world are encouraged to organize for the following immediate actions:

1) Demonstrations should be held worldwide in front of the embassies or consulates of the 18 countries which have frozen funding for UNRWA, demanding that they immediately restore that funding, vastly increase the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, bring about an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and convene an international conference to develop concrete steps towards establishing a two-state solution for the region based on mutually-beneficial economic development;

2) City Councils and state legislatures across the United States, and elected bodies in all countries around the world, should follow the example of the City Council of Chicago, the third largest city in the U.S., which on Jan. 31 passed a resolution which stated that they “support the United Nations implementation of Resolution 377, known as ‘Uniting for Peace,’ which called an emergency session of the General Assembly which voted in favor of ‘immediate humanitarian ceasefire’ in Gaza.”

3) Every Congressman and Senator in the U.S. should be told that they will be thrown out of office if they do not publicly express their adherence to both the Constitution of the United States and to international law to which our nation has subscribed (including the decisions of the ICJ), both of which now demand action to stop the genocide before it goes any further. Elected officials in other countries should also be called on to abide by their corresponding legal and moral obligations.

What will you be able to answer when you’re asked: What did you do in the great crisis of 2024?
