March 31, 2025 (EIRNS)—There is a grave escalation of the threat of direct military strikes and warfare against Iran by the United States, with involvement of Britain. Terrible in its implications of needless death and havoc spreading throughout the region, it is part of the effort to stop the renewed diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia, whose potential cannot only resolve the Ukraine crisis, but that of other conflicted areas, even the current horrors in Western Asia.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute leader, spoke of these developments today as the darkening of “the clouds of war.” She warned against this escalation, heading toward havoc across the region, and also pointed out the larger context and implications.

Confrontation with Iran is one of the traps set for President Trump to spring, intended to take down key figures in his new government, and most importantly end the world-important normalization of U.S.-Russia relations, which he has begun. SignalGate is being used for this purpose.

The British-French Coalition of the Willing, the EU ReArm Europe and EU “Reassurance Force” for Ukraine can be seen as ludicrous, except they are deadly. The militarization demand they are pushing is, in actuality, another financial bubble, the terminal bubble in the sequence of bubbles, following on the global “Green” fraud, also pushed by the political-financial centers of the City of London, Wall Street, and satellites. The war economy bubble is untenable. As for the leading figures of Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and others, they are toy soldier Napoleons—but playing with nuclear fire. Rallies and voices are rising against them in Europe.

As this kind of call to action reverberates across the trans-Atlantic, we also see the response of those cornered: They perpetrate intimidating and illegal actions to squash opposition. In France today, judges handed down a ruling that prevents political activity by Marie Le Pen, of the sizable Rassemblement National (National Rally) party, for five years. Moreover, this action against her lifts the gate for another political figure to make gains, who has aligned himself with all that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is doing. In the other “democracies” across Europe there are similarly blatant interventions, as we have seen in Romania.

Find out more, and what can be done at this Friday, April 4th weekly meeting, the 96th, of the International Peace Coalition.

Live Dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: The LaRouche Plan for Peace and Prosperity (March 26, Noon EDT, 5pm CET)

Discussion between the U.S. and Russia, as led by Presidents Trump and Putin, has walked the world back from the brink of immediate nuclear confrontation, and toward normalized relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers—an indispensable condition for any viable and peaceful future of mankind as a whole. Within that, negotiations are proceeding toward a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, likely, according to several sources that include U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, to involve new elections in Ukraine.

On the other hand, the situation in Southwest Asia hangs by a very thin thread, as Gaza has once again, and with the apparent approval of President Trump, been turned into a genocidal war zone under Israeli assault. Along with the resumption of direct military attacks, supplies to Gaza have been completely cut off, and food, fuel, and medical supplies are quickly dwindling. Catastrophic injuries and deaths are once again beginning to pile up, mostly among children, women, and the elderly.

The claim is that perhaps now Hamas will be willing to accept the terms offered, with nary a mention made that it was Netanyahu’s Israel which broke the ceasefire deal by refusing to negotiate the promised Phase 2. However, the historical dynamics operating under the surface, those behind Netanyahu in Israel, the transatlantic military industrial complex, and beyond to the historic British and U.S. intelligence role in the manipulating conflicts in the region, tell a more complex tale that can’t be addressed by reacting to mere events.

Not only does the conflict in Southwest Asia not have a purely local cause, but it cannot be solved with a purely local solution. The only viable approach is that called for by Helga Zepp-LaRouche: We must now form a new, global security and development architecture that takes into account the interests of all countries.

For someone who thinks the diseased thoughts of geopolitics, that all nations must secure their interests against those of all other nations, such a new system would never work; for someone who thinks the thoughts of a creative human being, such a proposed system is the natural, next evolutionary step of human society, as we overturn geopolitics and adopt a new way of thinking about human relations which puts the interests of humanity as a whole first.

An example of this principle in practice is the LaRouche proposal of the Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia. This plan was presented on March 18 by President of Solidarité & Progrès Jacques Cheminade to a meeting of the Académie de Géopolitique de Paris, at which he rightfully asserted that “there is no other choice than a win-win agreement for the people if we truly want to achieve peace. Only a dynamic of mutual development can escape a dynamic of war. This is the Oasis Plan method…. It has characteristics specific to this region of the world, but to ensure its lasting success, it must be situated within the context of an international architecture of mutual peace and security, beyond this region. The only war worth winning is the war against the desert.”

Peace in one part of the world must lead to peace in all parts of the world. Though the situation with regards to the war in Ukraine is hopeful, we must act rapidly to ensure that triggers aren’t pulled somewhere else to blow up the situation. All concerned citizens of the world must do their part to make the dynamic of peace, as exemplified by the Oasis Plan, the agreed-upon basis of a new world system. Until then, our job is not done.

Take Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s remark to the 94th meeting of the International Peace Coalition as a mission statement: “It is my deepest belief that only by changing the paradigm completely can we avoid a catastrophe.”

Live Podcast with Larry Johnson and Helga Zepp-LaRouche, March 19, Noon EDT, 5pm CET

Schiller Institute leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche summarized the current strategic situation on Monday, as running along on “two tracks”:
First, the track leading potentially to a positive resolution in Ukraine, with benefit for other zones of conflict; and the second track, of war preparation madness, leading to doom.

Zepp-LaRouche invited former CIA officer and intelligence analyst Larry Johnson to discuss the quickly changing and developing geopolitical situation in the wake of the phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Other topics that will be discussed include Johnson’s trip to Russia with fellow journalists Judge Napolitano and Mario Nawfal to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the vote in the German Parliament for a change in the constitution to finance the ‘war economy’ in order to further the (nuclear) confrontation with Russia.


Larry C. Johnson is a former CIA officer and intelligence analyst, and former planner and advisor at the US State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism. As an independent contractor, he has provided training for the US Military’s Special Operations community for 24 years. Since its founding in 1998, Larry has been managing partner of BERG (Business Exposure Reduction Group) Associates LLC, which specializes in investigating money laundering and counterfeit products, as well as providing financial analysis and counter terror strategy. Larry was a frequent guest on all major US networks from the 1990s to the late 2000s, but made the “mistake” of consistently offering candid insights and honest assessments, without deferring to establishment bias. As waging “Forever Wars” became the singular policy objective of 90% of the nation’s elected officials, and of the entire media, those voices offering independent and unbiased analysis were relegated to the wilderness, Larry’s along with them. Vilified by the establishment right, left and center, Larry must be doing something right. His take on global security, intelligence and geopolitics is regularly sought by businesses, by non-mainstream media, and by an organic and growing online cooperative of non-partisan dissident journalism and commentary. In 2024, Larry addressed the United Nations Security Council, and attended the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). He appears regularly on various news sites, video blogs and independent online channels, including Sputnik, RT, Judging Freedom, Redacted and The Duran, among many others.

Stand Up for Principle: Intervene To ‘Create a Global Security Architecture!’, Live with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, March 12, Noon EDT

March 10, 2025 (EIRNS)—Changes in all directions are occurring by the day in the world strategic situation, and in people’s everyday lives. One historic pattern to be reckoned with, is the U.S.-Europe hostility. The dramatic feature of this is the mad rush in Europe for militarization—perpetrated in the name of defending Ukraine, and preparing to defend against war from Russia.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and leader, noting this today, called the U.S.-Europe breach “worrisome and dangerous.” But she spoke not from the standpoint of recommending returning to the conformity among the nations on both sides of the Atlantic, which has gone on for decades, under horrible British geopolitics. She spoke today from the vantage point of ending that for good. On March 8, Zepp-LaRouche issued a statement of principle and action through the Schiller Institute titled, “Instead of Rearming for the Great War, We Need To Create a Global Security.” Her appeal warns the nations of Europe that “they are making a catastrophic historical mistake. If they then also attempt to finance the enormous lack of military capabilities by creating money outside the regular budgets, they are repeating German Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht’s policy of Mefo bills from the 1930s.”

Zepp-LaRouche’s statement concluded with eight points for action, beginning: “We call on European politicians to come to their senses! Do not repeat the mistakes of the 1930s!”

European circles on the warpath exceed even the wildest science and sociological fiction. Tomorrow in Strasbourg, EU functionaries Ursula von der Leyen, European Union Commission President, and Antonio Costa, European Council President, are to meet with the European Parliament to attempt to cheer them on for the mad EU “Rearm Europe” plan, mandating $860 billion in new arms funding, for Europe and Ukraine, to stand up against Russia. On March 20-21 the leaders of 27 EU countries are to have their second meeting on this multi-billion euro commitment in Brussels, likely with Volodymyr Zelenskyy on hand, Acting President of Ukraine.

This flight forward occurs at the very same time as the breakdown of Ukraine forces in the field is worsening rapidly. In its Kursk region, Russian forces have encircled some 6-10,000 Ukrainian incursion soldiers in a “cauldron” at Sudzha. The Russians conducted a surprise move to enter through nine miles of empty underground gas pipelines.

A meeting will take place tomorrow, March 11, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between Ukrainian and U.S. delegations. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio leads the Americans. Acting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will be accompanied by Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the Presidency.

The Schiller Institute posting of the Zepp-LaRouche March 8 “Global Security Architecture” statement, has a signature page for endorsements, and also welcomes any and all other initiatives acting in the same spirit and principles. For example, on March 9 in France, a statement was issued by former military officers and by sovereignists, opposing the extending and sharing of the French nuclear force, which French President Emmanuel Macron is proposing. Their statement is titled, “Nuclear Deterrence, in Essence, Is the Expression of a National Will and Cannot Be Shared.”

The Schiller Institute posting introduces Mrs. LaRouche’s statement as, “for immediate and widespread international circulation. It is being issued at a time when Europe is at an historic crossroads, where a different alternative must be urgently put on the table if a catastrophe is to be avoided. We encourage signatures of endorsement from all walks of life to force this issue out into the public debate as quickly as possible.”

March 3, 2025 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump has suspended the delivery of all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, according to multiple press accounts.

This decision comes as Zelenskyy continues to channel Greta Thunberg, acting like a scolding, scowling brat. In London on March 2, following the meeting of a U.K.-hosted “coalition of the willing” to support the destruction of the country Zelenskyy supposedly represents, he claimed that Ukraine could count on continuing U.S. support. And Zelenskyy said he’d put such “support” to good use—by prolonging the war that is absolutely devastating Ukraine. Peace with Russia is “very, very far away,” he said.

Trump was furious. “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!” he thundered on March 3.

“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing,” Trump continued. “Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S.—Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?”

Other steps toward ending the catastrophically dangerous conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine:

Trump advisor Mike Waltz points out the absurdity of debating the nature of security guarantees in Ukraine when there isn’t even a pathway to a peace.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth orders a halt to cyberattacks against Russia.

But despite the thawing relations between Russia and the United States, can those two countries on their own create a peaceful outcome?

“The Kiev regime and Zelenskyy do not want peace,” assessed Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “They want the war to continue. So in this situation, of course, only Washington’s efforts and Moscow’s readiness will obviously not be enough.”

There remains an apparent Anglo-French alliance for war against Russia, an alliance whose physical backing is far from adequate.

What role can the world play in preventing the intention for war, expressed by the U.K., France, and the Baltics, most notably?

Meanwhile, Trump’s useful instincts with respect to Ukraine clearly do not carry over to economics. He is applying and increasing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. And he plans to throw away government resources on crypto speculation, announcing a Crypto Strategic Reserve over the weekend. The announcement sent bitcoin prices up around 10%, a gain that completely evaporated by Monday evening. There were similar changes in the price people are willing to pay for other crypto “assets.”

Will Trump learn a lesson from the crypto antics of Argentina’s lunatic President Javier Milei?

If you want to work on “government efficiency,” scrap this crypto nonsense and get to work with building up U.S. infrastructure and productivity! An economy that is growing, in scale and technological advancement, will provide the basis for a strong currency and a means of servicing the ballooning federal debt.

Feb. 24, 2025 (EIRNS)—Why is it in Americans’ national security interest, that President Donald Trump act to curtail the “special relationship” that presently exists between the British Imperial and Commonwealth intelligence services, and the United States military and military-intelligence? This week’s visit by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Washington, D.C., undertaken in the vain hope of re-enlisting America as the financial and logistical “backstop” for further fruitless European posturing in an already-lost war in Ukraine, is the proper time to pose to the American people this question: What exact benefit does the United States gain from its so-called “special relationship” with Great Britain? Should a swift and solemn end be brought to the British-U.S. “special relationship,” in preparation for the upcoming celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Declaration of Independence?

It is time—past time—to re-commit the United States to the original purpose of the 1776-1783 American Revolution. That was, as was clearly re-stated by President Franklin Roosevelt during World War Two to an apoplectic Winston Churchill, to remove the foot of Portuguese, Dutch, Belgian, French and British imperialism from the throat of people all over the world. Instead, the United States, founded to be the opposite of the British Empire, has, especially in the “unipolar era” from 1990 until now, been acting against the interests of the American people, and the American Revolution itself, engaging in no-win wars and overthrowing governments always in the name of democracy, but waged in reality on behalf of an international financial elite, a trans-Atlantic “War Party,” operating under the codename “NATO.” Britain’s Keir Starmer visits Washington this week on behalf of that mission, and nothing else. …

Webcast: We Have The Solution: Build LaRouche’s Oasis Plan

Join Helga Zepp-LaRouche in her Live Dialogue, Feb 12, 11.00 am EDT / 5pm CET. Send your questions to questions@schillerinstitute.org

In her concluding remarks after a discussion with international collaborators Monday Feb. 10th Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, emphasized that her late husband Lyndon LaRouche had the capacity to bring in a new idea which brought order to a seemingly very messy unfolding situation.
This relates to a very specific way of thinking, where a situation is approached from the top, not bottom up. This scientific way of thinking gives one the ability to look at the principles at play, not particular events that interact in so-called empty space.

In a speech at the Central Connecticut State University in May 2009, Lyndon LaRouche elaborated this point in regard to the Israel-Palestine crisis, the crisis can only be solved by looking at Israel and Palestine as part of world-historic dynamics over centuries. The implantation of the LaRouche Oasis Plan would and will change the whole geometry of Southwest Asia by uniting all involved for a common mission. The idea of mutual economic development can be applied to all crises spots that are victims of British geopolitics and those places that have been deindustrialized in the name of British Free Trade and saving the speculative bubble economy.

She concluded, “So I think we should proceed from the assumption we know how the world should look like, we need a new international security and development architecture, because nothing less will do, in order to avoid World War III. I think we should really go with great optimism into this next period, because a lot of people realize that things are no more going to be as they were, but they are absent of any positive conception of how the future should look, so I think we have a tremendous vacuum.”
