The Bomb Is Not In Iran, But In The Financial System

While the Western media are filled with leaks and counter-leaks about the whereabouts of over 400 kg of enriched uranium and whether Iran’s centrifuges to enrich it were destroyed or not, what is becoming clear is that no one really cared about that. If they had, the negotiations would have continued, and the United States would have made an agreement (“a deal”), probably brokered by Russia with Iran, to allow Iran the peaceful development of nuclear energy, while guaranteeing the security of Israel.

Instead, President Trump apparently lied to the world, pretending that he had told Bibi Netanyahu to hold off bombing Iran during the ongoing negotiations, only to enable Israel to make a surprise attack, killing dozens of Iranian scientists and military leaders in their beds along with their families. On top of that, the “neutral” nuclear watch-dog IAEA, admitted after the Israeli attacks (and BEFORE the U.S. attacks) that Iran actually wasn’t building a bomb, although the IAEA had claimed just a few days earlier that Iran had “violated” certain provisions, just in time to create a pretext for Israel’s attack.

All of this hoopla about Iran has nothing to do with why certain forces are pushing for war. As Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche told her international associates on June 30, the issue is “the systemic bankruptcy of the trans-Atlantic system and the unwillingness of the establishments to correct their policies and their insistence that they want to remain in their dominant position in the world.”

Therefore, the only way to be sure that we are not on the cusp of nuclear war, whether in the Middle East or elsewhere, is to eliminate the cause of the conflict by establishing a new economic and security architecture that recognizes the right of every nation to be secure and prosperous, which will require a bankruptcy reorganization of the trans-Atlantic system and the admission that the $2 quadrillion everything-bubble simply cannot be saved.

While the world is obsessed with whether or not Trump totally or only partially, or not at all, destroyed Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability, Russia is steadfastly winning the war against NATO in Ukraine on the battlefield. Russia just announced that Lugansk has been “fully liberated” from the pro-Nazi scourge. No amount of weapons from the bankrupt Europeans will save Zelenskyy’s regime.

Over 5 billion people on the planet live in nations which have rejected the British imperial system, and are forging a new order, not based on winner-take-all, or master-slave relations, but as Russian President Putin put it, more like a symphony orchestra, where each unique voice contributes to the harmony of the whole.

As we approach the American Independence Day holiday on July 4, now would be a good time to remember that we have been in an ongoing brawl against the British Empire for more than 250 years. LaRouche put it this way in a 2004 speech entitled, “I Stand at the Bedside of a Doomed Empire:”

“We were almost crushed, repeatedly. The intention of Britain was to destroy us. This was the perpetual policy, of the British toward the United States, and the policy of the key traitors within the United States: Such as Gallatin, such as Aaron Burr, such as the leadership of many of the political parties. The controllers of agents, such as Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan, who were agents of the enemy, determined to destroy us.

“In the process, the American patriotic tradition had a resurgence: around the tradition of Lafayette, around the personality of John Quincy Adams, and with a very significant recruit by John Quincy Adams to his cause, the Whig, Abraham Lincoln, who was Quincy Adams’ voice, in the Congress in denouncing the Polk Presidency for the war against Mexico, of that period. And that President Lincoln, later, led the United States to return to itself, as a nation.”

It is time for the United States to return to itself and stop participating in British imperial atrocities. Your neighbors and the world would appreciate that.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche said in a discussion with international collaborators on Monday that: “We are in a situation where it is not yet clear if it will lead to a complete escalation to a global war, and therefore the annihilation of the human species, or, if forces of reason can intervene in time, before that happens. But I can only say, it is extremely serious, because the degree of madness and incompetence and criminality on the side of various parties, is so overwhelming, that I would really warn against that you develop a feeling that this is somehow a limited conflict, because there is no guarantee that it is.”

What can be done?

As you read this, the Schiller Institute’s statement “It Is Not Too Late to Avoid a ‘Doomsday Scenario’ in the Middle East” is being distributed by members and supporters of the LaRouche movement at the United Nations in New York City. The statement was released after the 106th meeting of the International Peace Coalition, on June 13, the day Iran began its retaliatory strikes responding to Israel’s illegal attack.

Be part of the international mobilization and distribute the statement wherever you are.

While we cannot predict what President Trump will do, and cannot control what our neighbors will do, we can control what we are going to do, which must be to build the LaRouche movement with vigor, including signing up hundreds of people for subscriptions to EIR, and memberships in the Schiller Institute and The LaRouche Organization, and inviting them to participate in the Friday International Peace Coalition meetings. We are the “idea” people, as reflected in our conferences and in publications like Leonore and Ibykus, and our ideas are needed.

When Anglo-American Russia “expert” Fiona Hill told Britain’s The Guardian in a June 6th interview, “Russia Is At War with Britain and U.S. Is No Longer a Reliable Ally, U.K. Adviser Says,” she was speaking an inverted partial truth—not only is Britain at war against Russia, but the British Empire is at war with every sovereign nation on the planet, exactly as former U.S. Presidential candidate and economist Lyndon LaRouche warned on numerous occasions.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking at a Moscow conference of the Tsargrad Institute, said sharply of the recent terror attacks on Russia, “And it is obvious that everything is being done by the Ukrainian side. But it would be helpless without the support—I wanted to say, of the Anglo-Saxons. But now it will have to be without the ‘Saxons,’ simply without the support of the British. Although, who knows, maybe some U.S. special services are also participating there by inertia. But the British are 100%.” Yes, the Russian Foreign Minister is saying with 100% certainty that the British are directly involved in the attacks on Russia.

But are these British-orchestrated attacks merely a military operation? What is their ultimate objective? Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told a group of central bankers gathered at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 2019, that the object was “regime change”—that is, replace democratically elected governments with central banker dictatorships, that will maximize financial profits (until the whole thing crashes).

The American Revolution was the first successful defeat of this British oligarchical ideology, and our founding documents express very clearly that the purpose of a republic is to allow the maximum development of the creative potential of its citizens. That is “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” not “pleasure” and not “property,” but the happiness of making an immortal contribution to the future development of mankind in the universe, “freude” as German poet Friedrich Schiller expressed in his “Ode to Joy,” and as Beethoven further developed it in his magnificently joyous Ninth Symphony, both of which looked with great hope toward the new American Republic.

The British moved quickly to ensure that no such republican revolution occurred in Europe, and set to work to destroy the identity of the United States of America through a series of wars, coups, assassinations, and most effectively through a cultural war run by the Tavistock Institute and the CIA known as the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

Lyndon LaRouche recruited an international cadre organization, dedicated to defeating that British imperial legacy, and his ideas contributed significantly to the newly emerging paradigm expressed by the Belt and Road Institute (BRI) and the BRICS-Plus dynamic, which now encompasses the majority of the world’s population.

The British and their lackeys are in a full mobilization to prevent such a new order from coming into being. From assassination attempts against both Presidents Trump and Putin, as well as Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico, and now Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, as well as arresting qualified candidates for office, as in France, Romania, and Argentina, to full-blown acts of terrorism and war, the British intend to impose a world order based on oligarchical principles.

The challenge for those who want to stop war and genocide is that they must quickly understand what is the species characteristic of Empire as an economic policy. LaRouche understood this, and for it he was prevented from becoming President of the United States.

Read below an excerpt from LaRouche’s June 27, 2009 webcast, “Britain Delenda Est.”

“We have to understand that Obama is not the only problem. Obama is chiefly a symptom, a by-product of the problem. The problem is that the world is run by an empire. That empire is nominally a British Empire. It’s the international monetary system, which is controlled by the British Empire. That’s the problem.

“We have to destroy the British Empire, as Roosevelt had intended to do it, when he was President. He intended to destroy the British Empire at the end of the war. The intention was, as he told Winston Churchill, ‘Winston! When this war is over, we’re not going to have any British Empire on this planet! We’re going to free those people, we’re going to help them to develop, give them their own nations.’ He called that the United Nations, to eliminate imperialism from the world, and to create, instead, a planet, organized as composed of respectively sovereign nation-states. To use the vast power of production, which we had created in preparing for and dealing with war against Hitler, and to use that power, to create a process of growth.

“Don’t shut down our war production plants!, as Truman did, at the behest of Churchill and Company. Convert those plants into plants for production. Take the capacity we had built up for fighting and winning the war, and use that capacity, with the people in place, to now produce for the world! To free the colonial parts of the world, to rebuild a shattered Europe, to develop the world as a whole.”

This will be the topic of the upcoming conference of the Schiller Institute in Europe on July 12 and 13, and the point of intervention we are about to make next week at the United Nations. Britain Delenda Est!

Join Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Ray McGovern in a live dialogue on June 4, 11 am Eastern / 5 pm CET and participate in the next International Peace Coalition meeting on Friday, June 6.

Ray McGovern attended and addressed the Schiller Institute Memorial Day Conference “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!”in Newark, NJ.

Mr. McGovern delivered his remarks entitled “There Is Such A Thing As Too Late” during Panel 1 of the two-day conference.

During the May 27 broadcast of the “Judging Freedom” podcast of Judge Andrew Napolitano reported the Schiller Institute’s May 24-25 Conference, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” Immediately following his introduction of guest Ray McGovern (former senior CIA analyst, and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), Napolitano asked McGovern, who had addressed the conference, what the two-day Memorial Day weekend event was about, and for McGovern’s feel for the attitude of young people about war and peace.

McGovern reported that the Schiller Institute is reaching out to young people to inspire them to do something about the indignities happening in our own country and abroad. He said they’re having some success, and working really hard at it.

McGovern reported on the presentations made at the conference, including his own and that by Scott Ritter, former Marine intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector. He described the speeches as “motivational speeches,” that were a little bit about history, but that they also challenged the audience to act. There is such a thing as “too late,” he stressed. McGovern said the more informed people are, the more motivated they are.

Ray McGovern goes to EIR.News first thing every morning to find out what’s going on in the world. Shouldn’t you?

Ray McGovern is the man who prepared the briefing for the President of the United States every morning, when he worked in CIA’s analytic team—until he quit over the lies used to get the U.S. into the murderous Iraqi war. McGovern co-founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) so like-minded ex-U.S. officials could fight the lies and war together.

Here’s what McGovern had to say about the EIR.News Daily Alert when he was a guest on The LaRouche Organization’s Dec. 21, 2024 Manhattan Dialogue:

“I used to work in current intelligence: That is, six days a week, you serve up something that’s very, very current, and very interesting to the policymakers. That was our job. I watched EIR improve to the point where I’d go there first thing in the morning. I go there and I see what kind of current intelligence has been prepared by your specialists and I’m amazed, and I think it’s really a good idea for people to subscribe, as I have, and get filled on what your specialists are saying. They are many, and they write a lot about stuff, a lot about economics that I don’t know, that I need to know. So, if you want my endorsement: You got it! Sign up: Sign up, now! Don’t wait, don’t wait for Christmas.

At 2 a.m. Sunday morning, May 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin, after three full days of non-stop meetings and ceremonies devoted to the commemoration of the Victory against Fascism in Europe, held a press conference and proposed the resumption of full negotiations with Ukraine to put an end to what is actually a NATO war imposed on that nation. Putin proposed that these negotiations restart in Istanbul, Türkiye this Thursday, May 15.

The European leaders who had joined Zelenskyy in Kiev, in direct opposition to the 30 heads of state who had assembled in Moscow for the Great Victory, had demanded a few hours earlier that a 30-day ceasefire begin Monday morning. They were, however, caught sleeping, in more ways than one, by Putin’s 2 a.m. press conference, and his unexpected proposal. “Russia is ready for talks without any preliminary conditions. There are combat actions and war going on now, and we propose to resume negotiations that were not interrupted by us. Well, what’s wrong about it?”

As Putin and others know, it was Ukraine that ceased the discussions that were terminated in Istanbul, Türkiye, in April 2022. Of course, it was then Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Great Britain who had, on April 9 of that year, traveled to Kiev to demand that Ukraine walk away from the already-agreed negotiations with Russia—and Ukraine had done so. To this day, Ukraine’s decree, passed in their parliament in late 2022, forbids any Ukrainian President from negotiating with Russia, so long as Putin remains in power. Ukraine “is still legally prohibited from negotiating with the Russian side,” said Russian Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in March.

So, although a blustering Volodymyr Zelenskyy later on Sunday dared Putin, “High Noon” Western-style, to “meet him in Istanbul” this Thursday, Ukraine’s unelected leader knows that the Russians are aware that the Kiev decree is still in effect. U.S. President Donald Trump—not one to stand on ceremony, certainly—had advice for Ukraine: “President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH. Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY. At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!” While many have asserted for days that “no one knows where Trump stands” on the matter of Russia and Ukraine, today’s statement is unequivocal: “Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY.”

One of the outflanked European heads of state who met with Zelensky is Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who is the first chancellor in the post-war era to have the dubious honor of being crowned chancellor only after a second round of voting. In mid-April, the very same Friedrich Merz suggested on ARD television’s Carmen Miosga show that German Taurus long-range missiles should be sent to Ukraine so that the country could get off the defensive after three years of war against Russia. Merz mentioned the possibility of destroying the most important land link between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, as an option. Merz had already supported the delivery of cruise missiles to Ukraine before the early parliamentary elections on February 23. According to media reports, both Friedrich Merz and government spokesman Stefan Kornelius have stated that details and discussions regarding the Taurus delivery will not be made public in the future. What might that mean?

Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Dr. Werner Rügemer, in a joint live dialogue on January 29, had already warned against Merz, the Chancellor from Black Rock.

The second notable event Sunday was that newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, appearing in St. Peter’s Square before more than 100,000 people, and unexpectedly leading the open-air assembly in the singing of the “Regina Caeli” Easter antiphon. Leo, who is the first member of the Augustinian order to be elected to the Papacy, the first native-English-language Pope since Pope Adrian IV of the 12th century, and the first Pope from the United States, also made clear why he chose his name. “In his first meeting with Cardinals on Saturday, the new Pontiff said that he chose his papal name to continue down the path of Pope Leo XIII, who addressed ‘the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution.’” CNN reported.

Consider these two very different “flanks” as flowing from one, higher strategy of victory for the human race. War must become obsolete, but that cannot happen unless the cause of war is removed. For that to occur, the world requires “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” Such is the subject, purpose, and mission of the May 24-25 conference of the Schiller Institute.

May 5, 2025 (EIRNS)—Today’s different zones of strategic crisis are in various phases of escalation, or temporary de-escalation, in Ukraine, in the Pakistan-India conflict, and in Southwest Asia, with the warfare and horror in Gaza the most urgent to be stopped.

This world situation points up the role of the Schiller Institute conference in three weeks, titled, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence,” and the vital process of the International Peace Coalition, which now has met for 100 weeks straight.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and leader, has insisted on the point of approaching all crises from the highest level. She said today that we have to “create a world to solve issues through development.” The dynamic is in motion and gathering force. The BRICS summit will take place in July in Brazil.

Zepp-LaRouche put forward the task of mobilizing for the next five weeks for the Oasis Plan approach, in the countdown to the June 2-4 UN meeting in New York City, on the two-state mandate for Gaza and a reconstruction plan. In the course of this mobilization, the May 24-25 two-day Schiller Institute conference in the Metropolitan New York area is the place to confer on the principles involved. Register now. Join up with the International Peace Coalition, beginning this Friday.

Diane Sare, President of The LaRouche Organization (TLO) published a leaflet titled VE Day 2025: Celebration and Rededication for circulation around the celebrations of the defeat of Fascism in Europe. Sare writes:

“Therefore, let us not only celebrate the victory won on the battlefields of Europe eight decades ago, but let us now resolve that none of those dead in that war, or the tragic series of wars which came after, shall have died in vain. We must act now so that the innocent Palestinian infant, and the fallen IDF soldier, the fearless Russian youth, or the conscripted Azov fighter, will be immortalized in their better nature – the universal goodness of Man, which for reasons unknown is obscured or buried among the tortured souls who have been the aggressors, but who are human nonetheless.  No human is an animal.”

“Our actions today, to bring about a just world, will fulfill the purpose of those departed souls who perished in innocence, guilt, or valor, no matter what they may have thought their purpose was.”
