Live with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Jan 29: Confirm Gabbard and Patel to Stop Wars and Lies



Diane Sare, President of The LaRouche Organization, notes in her statement, “Is There a Democrat in the Senate with Half the Integrity of Frank Church? If so, you will act to ensure the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel!”, that the confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the establishment of the Church Committee:

“Fifty years ago today [Jan. 27], the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to establish the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, known as the “Church Committee,” chaired by Idaho Democratic Sen. Frank Church.

It was a turbulent period, following the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his younger brother Robert, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, and the Vietnam War and the opposition to it. President Nixon had been forced out by “Watergate.” It had come to light that various U.S. government agencies had been involved in some rather unsavory and unconstitutional activities, both abroad and against American citizens at home, and members of the Senate, led by prominent Democrats—unlike the Democratic Party leadership of today—decided that an investigation was warranted. …”

In discussion with associates today, Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that the strategic situation today is so full of contradictions that the only thing one can really say is that these contradictions will sooner or later detonate, and until then there is no predictable course that things will take. This is why, therefore, actions must be taken now to put fundamentally new solutions on the table.

Zepp-LaRouche stated that she hopes Trump’s focus on the “Deep State” will lead to some changes that will redefine all the many parameters of the other topics. Obviously, the first big decision comes this week, this Wednesday and Thursday, [Jan. 30], when there will be Senate hearings concerning the appointments of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, for Director of National Intelligence and FBI Director, respectively.

The LaRouche Movement is fully mobilized to secure the nominations of Gabbard and Patel.

Zepp-LaRouche continued: “One of the best examples of the contradictions is that among the executive orders which Trump issued on Jan. 23, was one which creates a “U.S. Strategic Reserve of Cryptocurrency,” which called for protection of the U.S. dollar, “including through actions to promote the development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.”  Sergey Glazyev commented on that, on Jan. 25, and he said, “this innovation can have fatal consequences. If before this decision, the dollar financial pyramid was losing stability, mainly due to a decrease in external demand for dollar instruments, now domestic demand will also fall as the cryptocurrency market expands. … [T]his will inevitably undermine the financial foundations of the American state. … This already losing stability financial system can collapse under the onslaught of an avalanche of uncontrolled issued cryptocurrencies. … Trump limits dollar circulation to the existing banking system, not allowing the dollar to circulate in an alternative distributed ledger system.”

These developments underscore the necessity that all well-intentioned persons overcome their false axioms in economics, as well as other areas of thinking, and implement the physical economic principles of Lyndon LaRouche.

Take the case of Gaza. The ceasefire is still holding, despite significant tensions in the West Bank and Lebanon. What better opportunity to rebuild the West’s credibility and moral standing in the world than to use this moment to build up a beautiful, independent nation of Palestine by creating modern infrastructure and water systems, Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan, across the region, ensuring prosperity and stability there for decades to come? Such an endeavor could naturally be taken up together with China, a country which has already chosen the path of technological and economic development over financial speculation and militarization.


Larry Wilkerson and Helga Zepp-LaRouche in Dialogue, Jan. 22nd, 11 am EDT

“The American Empire has gone badly astray”

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson spent 31 years in the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam, in the Pacific Command, on the faculty of the Navy War College, and at the Marine Corps University. In 1989 he became Chief of Staff to Gen. Colin Powell. He is a regular speaker at the International Peace Coalition.

Col. (ret.) Larry Wilkerson told participants of the 85th meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), Friday, Jan. 17: “The American Empire – and I will refer to the United States of America as an Empire – has gone badly astray.”  He warned that the American empire is confronting a dangerous and chaotic situation of its own making. We have placed two billion people under our “very draconian sanctions.” Col. Wilkerson described how he and his fellow IPC collaborator, retired Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant Dennis Fritz, witnessed 20 to 30 Capitol Police officers in one of the Senate office buildings threatening to arrest members of Doctors Against Genocide, who were peacefully lobbying to stop the genocide in Gaza.

During the discussion period Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that in her view now would be the moment to push the Oasis Plan, because Trump has said of himself many times that he is a builder, and he does understand something about construction. He wants to get the economy going for the United States. To which Larry Wilkerson responded: “You’re right to put your finger on water. Water is critical in that region. And one of the reasons you can understand partly what Israel has done with regard to Lebanon and elsewhere is their search for water. It’s going to become even more critical as climate change wreaks more of its havoc. So, yes, I would be absolutely for that.”


The Old System is Dying – An Historic Opportunity for Humanity

In a discussion with staff and activists of the international LaRouche movement on January 13, Helga Zepp-LaRouche described the “historic opportunity to intervene” as follows:

Now, this year, 2025, is without any doubt, the end of the old system, it is the end of the idea of the unipolar world, the end of the neoliberal system trying to impose hegemony over the rest of the world, but it is really the opportunity to implement what Lyn has been advocating for the better part of half of the last century. And while there is still the danger that things could go really wrong, either immediately in the period before Trump gets into the White House, because there are several crisis spots still hot, but also, if we do not eliminate the geopolitical design that there is a legitimate interest of one nation, or groups of nations, against another nation or other groups of nations, that confrontation could come at any point a little bit later on. So we, as a priority, have to proceed in everything we are doing that we have to get a change in the axioms of the West, that they have to stop geopolitical thinking, and that we have to shift the direction of the nations of the collective West into one of cooperation with the countries of the Global South, in the building of a new and more just system.

So, we have to intervene, and we have to do it by recognizing that European nations, and the United States as well, have been suffocated for the last—in the case of Europe it’s been longer, but in the United States for the last 50 years, with axioms which are completely alien to the true identity of our nations. Therefore, we have to really start in earnest a project to identify, first of all, very clearly what are the best traditions of Europe, European nations, and the United States. Because if we don’t do that, there is no basis for the Europeans and the Americans to join with the countries of the Global South…

The situation with Trump coming in, looking at both the potentials and the shortcomings, it seems that Trump is considering, actively, an early meeting with Putin, and even Scholz in an interview yesterday welcomed that, but naturally he made his usual remarks that the sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. But nevertheless, Peskov declared that Putin is open for such a meeting with other heads of state, including Trump. There are no conditions necessary for it, so I think this will probably go ahead fairly soon.

But with Trump coming in on Jan. 20, that leaves about four weeks to the German election campaign, in which Merz will have to see if the idea they presented in Ramstein, trying to compensate for everything which will be lost by Trump on Ukraine and other issues, if that can be held up. There is a push, very much, that this “war-ready” bullshit is still in the air, but it will create an opening, because the situation is very much in flux. …

I think we have a very dramatic situation, full of suspense; it is full of potential. It doesn’t mean that the dangers have been eliminated, but the vision of where the world could go is absolutely clearly there, but it will require an extraordinary effort of our organization internationally to bring that about, and bring this objective into the discussion. Because that particular idea, especially in terms of reviving the Classical culture, as Lyn always said, a society which does not know principles of Classical composition, has no chance to survive. Lyn was always extremely emphatic on that, and that is something only we can bring in, because I have never heard any of the present crop of politicians speak in any meaningful way about ideas of Classical composition and statecraft, the way we have unearthed that treasure.

So, I think we are in an incredibly optimistic situation, if we do what we have to do.


Change Course Now! Scott Ritter and Helga Zepp-LaRouche in Dialogue

Live dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Scott Ritter

January 8, 2025, 12.30 pm EDT/6:30 p.m. (CET)

“Change Course Now – We Need a New Paradigm!”

On January 8, 2025, Helga Zepp-LaRouche will hold a dialogue on the current political situation with former UN weapons inspector and anti-war activist Scott Ritter.

Ritter is known internationally for his opposition to the neocon foreign policy and military policy in the United States and Europe. He served as an intelligence officer in the Marine Corps. He later served as a weapons inspector with the United Nations Special Commission in Iraq (UNSCOM mission) from 1991 to 1998. In this context, he emerged as a harsh critic of the Bush administration’s claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, which was used to justify the 2003 war against Iraq.

Scott Ritter is an author, a member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), and a frequent commentator on international podcasts. His latest book, Disarmament in an Era of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, details his experience working with the Soviet Union to reduce the threat of nuclear war. He has spoken at conferences of the international Schiller Institute, including a high-level press conference on the acute danger of nuclear war in Washington in June 2024.

Discuss the implementation of the New Paradigm for peace and genuine economic development with Helga Zepp-LaRouche. Send your questions to questions@schillerinstitute.org or post them in the chat.


2025: Nuclear Doom or New Paradigm with Ray McGovern and Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Helga Zepp-LaRouche: First, I want to wish all of you a good New Year, and especially that we can realize peace in the whole world. Therefore, I thought that I could not invite a better guest to my weekly program for the beginning of the new year than Ray McGovern, who is an important voice for peace and historical truth. Ray is, among other things, co-founder of VIPS, of Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and a long standing daily briefer for three U.S. presidents. He was a live witness to the decisions made at the end of the Cold War, and he will discuss with me the reasons for the present acute war danger and how to overcome them.

In the course of human history, rare moments arise in which it is possible for a seemingly weak force to completely alter the trajectory of the world, and to conquer what had, up until that point, been an enemy so powerful that none could resist. The victory of the American Revolution against the British Empire was one such moment.

In Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Adoration of the Magi, the most powerful figure is the tiny, vulnerable baby, Christ, sitting in the lap of a serene Mary and curiously reaching his hand toward an offered gift. Throngs of confused, curious people crowd around the child, their faces half in shadow as they cautiously approach, hopeful, perhaps, and wondering. Behind them, the storm of the collapsing Roman Empire rages and mighty figures battle out its last moments amidst already collapsed ruins.

Such a time is ours. A new world order, a light in the darkness, has begun to take shape, whose great power lies in its rejection of colonialism and insistence on the right of all nations and peoples to develop and contribute to the progress of the human family. Partnerships like that of the BRICS nations and of China’s Belt and Road Initiative now comprise the vast majority of nations on the planet and are already implementing paths for development and the end of poverty for all involved. This is the only approach that has real power—the power to create a viable future for humanity in both the long and near term.

The alternative, which will only bring about its own (and our) destruction, is the logic of nuclear war, now codified, unabashedly, in official policy by the U.S./NATO establishment. The statement on Nov. 20 by Rear Adm. Thomas Buchanan that fighting a nuclear war—and the fantasy of coming out on top to “lead the world”—is the U.S. strategic policy betrays the tragic and fatal impotence of the old thinking.

Despite that, the ghouls of the old order are loath to let it go, and are desperate to lock the incoming Trump administration into a fait accompli of war against China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. To that end, not only has the outgoing “collective Biden” authorized Ukraine to continue to use ATACMS missiles against Russia, the latest strike occurring on Dec. 18, but on Dec. 20, an additional $571 million in military assistance for Taiwan was approved, in complete violation of the “One China” policy. Congressional Republicans are also pressuring Trump to prepare to strike Iran, perhaps alongside an emboldened Israel, to preemptively take out its nuclear facilities.

World War III, anyone?

And what of those people emerging from the shadows of the collapsed system? What power can citizens in the West wield to stop the logic of nuclear annihilation? Learn from Leonardo: Once the possibility of the new, more lawful system has been born, the old order has already collapsed, “ob sie noch so brummen” (“however much they still rumble”). [Text from J.S. Bach’s motet Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227..]

The introduction to the Schiller Institute’s new report, “Development Drive Means Billions of New Jobs, No Refugees, No War” states, “In order to overcome the danger of war for good, we need to establish a new international security and development architecture, which takes into account the interests of every single country on the planet. This should be done in the tradition of the Peace of Westphalia, which ended 150 years of religious wars in Europe, because the warring parties realized that there would be nobody left alive if the fighting continued. How much more is that true in the age of thermonuclear weapons! Let us unite for security and development, to usher in a new era for Mankind.”

This is the Christmas message to take, with uncompromising insistence, to your elected officials and others. How easy and natural it would be for the United States to join in win-win cooperation to end empire and colonialism!

The reverend Munther Isaac, Palestinian pastor, ended his Dec. 20 sermon from Bethlehem with this: “In our steadfastness—sumud, let us have eyes of faith to perceive and believe that every Herod will pass, every Caesar will fade, for Empires have an expiry date, and let us remember that it is the meek, not the powerful, who will inherit the earth. In our pain and oppression, we might feel that death has the final word, that Herod is sovereign. But through the eyes of faith, we see that God has the final word: and it is a word of life and light, not death and darkness. In Christmas, God has spoken, and the Word is Christ. Christ is born! Hallelujah! Peace on Earth, Hallelujah! May it be so today.”

Zepp-LaRouche Keynoted ‘International Think Tank Forum for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road 2024’ in Guangzhou

On Nov. 22, Helga Zepp-LaRouche delivered a keynote address to the “International Think Tank Forum for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road 2024” in Guangzhou, China, organized among others by the Guangdong Institute for International Strategies, which is based in Guangzhou. Her 10-minute speech described the leading role that China is playing in the world economy and as a leader in advanced technology, and how some in the West see this as a reason to have confrontation against China. Instead, she appealed to the G20 nations and others to work together to solve the migrant crisis, not by building walls, but by launching massive economic development in the Global South. She ended by saying that it was even more crucial now, given the recent escalation in the war in Ukraine, which threatens nuclear war.

The Institute is connected to the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS), and is an advisor to the Guangdong Provincial Government.

On Nov. 23, Helga Zepp-LaRouche was appointed Special Advisor to the Guangdong Institute of International Strategies. In connection with her appointment, she spoke for one-hour about Lyndon LaRouche’s ideas at the Institute’s Yunshan Academic Salon, followed by a Q&A discussion. An audio file of her speech about Lyndon LaRouche at the Yunshan Academic Salon is available on the Schiller Institute in Denmark website, along with an audio file of the introduction to her address by Prof. Li Xing. He recently became the leading academic at the Guangdong Institute. He is also a professor at Denmark’s Aalborg University Department of Politics and Society. Prof. Li Xing addressed the Schiller Institute in Denmark’s May 25, 2022 online conference on the need for the new security and development architecture.

In September 2024, a delegation from the Guangdong Institute for International Strategies travelled to Denmark and participated in a seminar with the Schiller Institute in Denmark in order to learn more about each other and to discuss cooperation.

Here is an article in Executive Intelligence Review about the trip:

Maritime Silk Road Conference in Guangzhou: Advancing ‘New Quality Productive Forces’


Webcast: Schiller Institute Conference Breaks Through the Fog of War

The message from the historic weekend Schiller Institute conference, “In the Spirit of Schiller and Beethoven: All Men Become Brethren!” was loud and clear. The world is at a “punctum saliens”’ where hard work over the Institute’s forty years has created a real breakout possibility for the world to break the cycle of underdevelopment, poverty and constant warfare.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche opened her keynote stating, “We are coming here together at this international Internet conference, in order to send out an urgent call to the world, not only, that we may be weeks, days, or hours away from the potentially greatest catastrophe in human history—namely its potential annihilation in a thermonuclear war—but also to emphatically make the point, that there is a solution, a way out of this danger, if people of good will unite all over the world to enforce its implementation. It is my great honor to greet all the distinguished panelists representing the Global South as well as Western nations, at this 40th anniversary of the founding of the Schiller Institute.”

The “distinguished panelists” of Panel 1 and 2, men and women of good will, came from institutions at the highest levels in and around governments, from West and East, North and South—former presidents and prime ministers, ambassadors, military figures, economists, farmer leaders, and professors. All underscored the fact that humanity is in this potentially fatal mess because of the refusal of the Western elites to let go of the idea of geopolitical hegemony; all urged, in different ways, that the West must be caused to see the inexorable shift in the world order toward equality of sovereign nations and the right of all to develop not as a threat, but as a great good, and the only way forward for all countries.

Sunday’s third panel, “The Science Drivers of Physical Economy”, laid out the very real development projects and method of thinking for the way forward. And the fourth panel, “The Beauty of the Cultures of the World: A Dialogue Among Civilizations”, posed the thoroughgoing classical statecraft of Lyndon LaRouche, the motor behind the developments that make for a pathway out of war and genocide.

As Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche posed, and the other dialogue participants developed, the idea poses a paradox, which challenges the listener to work the problem through to the end, coming to a solution on a higher level only dreamed of before. “Classical” works in a world where there is a coherence and a causal connection between the world’s “objective” requirements and the “subjective” world of the mind. So, an opening theme, rich though not yet fully grasped, engages the listener, allowing the beauty of the idea to drive the listener through the lawful development of the untapped riches implicit in the opening; so as to change the listener into a version of a capable statesman.

Friedrich Schiller refused to let go of a critical scientific paradox, whereby the American Revolution had proven that the imperial, hegemonic mode of the British Empire could be superseded, yet the French Revolution demonstrated a cultural backwardness that substituted for the required passion for justice, an animalistic and impotent rage. Schiller knew that humanity was born for something better and fought for a Classical method—in poetry, in music, in historiography and statecraft—so that a great moment in history, a punctum saliens, might not find a small-minded population.

It is an understatement to assert that human civilization is in mortal danger. Circles of the “Collective West” are perpetrating lies, military force, and provocation even to the point of triggering nuclear holocaust, and at the same time conducting financial warfare, and practices promoting economic breakdown, including for their own populations.

We need a mobilization of a lifetime,” was the battle cry given today by Schiller Institute leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche, speaking of citizen activation in Germany, her own country, but also applying elsewhere. The Global NATO war-making must end, the cooperation between the Global North and the Global South must begin.

A mobilization of Congress to wise up fast on the danger of nuclear war is set for this week by many circles in the United States and The LaRouche Organization. Today in New York, the Schiller Institute’s new report came off the presses in a 5,000 run for mass distribution. Title: “World Development Drive Means Billions of New Jobs, No Refugees, No War.”

The circulation of this Schiller Institute discussion document is part of the buildup for the international online conference on December 7-8, “In the Spirit of Schiller and Beethoven: All Men Become Brethren!” sponsored by the Schiller Institute, where you, your friends and family can register.

Today happens to be the date, in 2014, when Executive Intelligence Review released its book-length report The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge, in Washington, D.C. It presents a blueprint for mega-projects for integrated world development. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed an EIR seminar, Dec. 2, 2014, of some 100 diplomats, policy experts and citizens. Her keynote was titled “The World at a Crossroads: BRICS Paradigm, or a War of Extinction.”

Zepp-LaRouche’s opening words a decade ago, ring out now as a call to action: “I think it is a fair statement to say that the future destiny of mankind will depend on the question of whether the United States and, to a secondary degree, Europe, will take up the offer made by President Xi Jinping to President Obama at the press conference during the APEC conference [November 2014 in Beijing], where Xi invited the United States, and other major nations, to cooperate with a whole set of policies promoted by China and also the BRICS countries.”

As a strategic intervention meant to knock the world off its current trajectory towards short-term military and economic Armageddon between two irreconcilable blocs—that of the bankrupt Western powers running the U.K, the U.S. and NATO, on the one hand; and that of the emerging Global Majority, including Russia and China, on the other—Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche commissioned a study that was released today under the title, “Development Drive Means Billions of New Jobs, No Refugees, No War.”

It makes the case that a solution to the current showdown is readily at hand if the nations of the West join with the BRICS grouping to ensure the rapid industrialization of the whole planet. It emphasizes that this approach also provides the only possible solution to the migrant crisis sweeping the Americas and Europe: Develop the impoverished nations of the South to productively employ their labor force at home.

The new pamphlet is also meant to organize for, and underscore the central themes of, the upcoming Dec. 7-8 Schiller Institute international online conference “In the Spirit of Schiller and Beethoven: All Men, Become Brethren!” It is there that the scientific breakthroughs of Lyndon LaRouche will be used as the touchstone for policy deliberation around the needed new international security and development architecture—to be organized along the lines proposed by Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s Ten Principles.

It is only four days since the Russian deployment of their new Oreshnik hypersonic missile system delivered a shock around the world, and the implications are still being digested in Western policymaking circles. Early indications, however, are that those circles have by and large not yet been jolted back into reality, and they continue to escalate the confrontation with Russia. France has doubled down on the policy of using their SCALP long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia from Ukrainian territory. The Baltic nations are joining Germany in becoming “war-ready” for a frontal confrontation with Russia. And the outgoing Biden administration is being deployed to lob political and economic hand grenades in all directions as they head for the exit, as can be seen in the Department of Justice’s “lawfare” attack on the Modi government in India.

Nor is the response to date from the incoming Trump administration particularly encouraging, as is reflected in the naming of Scott Bessent to be Treasury Secretary. Bessent is not only a Soros protégé going back decades, who reportedly played a leading role in Soros’s infamous speculative operation in 1992 which “broke the Bank of England,” but he is also being cultivated by the City of London and Wall Street as their inside man to control Trump and make sure he doesn’t do anything the bankers disapprove of. London’s The Economist wrote happily: “By eventually picking Mr. Bessent, Mr. Trump has sided with his instinct to keep the markets happy. His selection suggests that he really could be constrained by their reaction, at least when it comes to economic policy.”

It is precisely that “constraint” being imposed by the global mega-speculators that has to be broken, and replaced with Lyndon LaRouche’s science of physical economy, if we are to get Mankind off the trajectory towards thermonuclear extinction.
