Under the headline “Afghanistan, the Committee for the Republic: Let Us Help It,” the daily Il Corriere di Sicilia published the Dec. 10 call by the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites with an endorsement by Alessia Ruggeri.

The paper quotes Ruggeri saying: “I join the declaration by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, president of the Schiller Institute, which has highlighted that for more than two months no one has talked about Afghanistan, totally ignoring the emergency and the fact that, with the confiscation of funds, the population is likely to die of hunger and hardship,” and it continues: “These are the words of Alessia Ruggeri, spokesperson of the political movement ‘Committee for the Republic’ member of the Committee for the Coincidence of the Opposites that supports the call by David Beasley, director of the WFP, which states that immediate support from the West is needed, defining it as a moral test for the West.” See the Italian original.

Pre-Summit Events Target Russia, China

June 3, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

Before the June 16 summit between Presidents Putin and Biden, there will be summits of the G7 in the UK and NATO in Brussels. The main topic of these summits, announced in ongoing pre-summit meetings, will be coordination to “confront systemic challenges from Russia and China”. This was the message of British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, and seconded by U.S. officials Lloyd Austin, the U.S. Defense Secretary, and Secretary of State Blinken. The G7 is expected to unveil its “alternative” to China’s global Belt-and-Road infrastructure initiative, the “Clean Green Initiative”, and its new “Alliance of Democratic States”, which Blinken said will provide robust support for the phony “Rules-Based Order”. These are a public relations cover for geopolitical provocations of the War Hawks, to defend their highly unpopular “Great Reset”; keep an eye out for Fake News and False Flags, designed to disrupt any serious effort in the Putin-Biden summit, to move toward cooperative agreements on addressing the systemic breakdown underway.

‘Insufficient Capacity in Every Country’ Against Next Pandemic

December 14, 2021by Mary Jane Freeman in COVID-19, Economic development updates, General updates, Healthcare, Healthcare

Dec. 13 (EIRNS) – The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the DC-based non-profit Nuclear Threat Initiative compile an annual Global Health Security Index, which was published on Dec. 8. The study “found insufficient capacity in every country,” bar none in the world, leaving the world “vulnerable to future health emergencies … which might be more devastating than the coronavirus.” The report constitutes proof that the mission of building modern healthcare, public health and disease monitoring systems in every country, demanded already in early March 2020 by Helga Zepp-LaRouche for the Schiller Institute, is more urgent than ever. Zepp-LaRouche identifies Afghanistan as the country where this must be done most immediately, and cooperatively involving China, Russia and the United States.

This study’s 2019 version was cited often by the Trump Administration because it rated the United States as number-1 in pandemic preparedness—and it does so again this year, with Australia, Finland, Canada, Thailand, Slovenia, the UK, Germany, South Korea and Sweden following in the “top 10.” But all failed to one degree or another in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in comparison to China and a few other Asian countries. The study says the reason for this was “low public confidence in government” in those countries. “People have been unwilling to comply with public health recommendations that would slow the spread of the virus.”

Tom Frieden, former director of the U.S. CDC, now an executive of the global public health organization called Vital Strategies, characterized the report simply: “No country is prepared, and there’s a need for urgent action to address that.” The report itself emphasized, in addition to more funding of healthcare and “health security” or public health capacities, that “international organizations should identify countries most in need of additional support.”

One person involved in preparing this report for Nuclear Threat Initiative is now in the Biden Administration: Beth Cameron, who heads the Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense in the NSC.

Will the Biden Administration Proceed with the Judicial Murder of Julian Assange?

December 14, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

There is no better example of the fraud behind the Biden administration’s “Summit for Democracy” than the attempt to murder whistleblower publisher Julian Assange.  His crime?  Publishing documents exposing war crimes committed by U.S. forces in Iraq, and covered up by U.S. officials.  The U.S. is proceeding with the case to extradite Assange from the U.K., where he continues to be held in Belmarsh prison.  As Assange awaits a predetermined guilty verdict if he is extradited to the U.S., the same networks he exposed for war crimes in Iraq are running yellow-journalist reports on Russia’s alleged plans for a military attack on Ukraine, risking the danger of triggering World War III.

Globalist Central Bankers Are Out To Destroy Concept Of “National Sovereignty”

June 2, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

It is an article of faith for many Americans that the U.S. is in a battle to restore its full sovereign rights, which have been under assault for the last 50 years by globalists and neoliberals.  Yet many who are engaged in this battle fall prey to the lying narratives against Russia and China, which are fabricated by the same Davos globalist networks which played a key role in running the Russiagate hoax, because the leaders of those nations refuse to surrender their sovereignty.  As the Davos crew is building up the power of central banks to take away the sovereign powers of all governments, and impose an anti-human “Green New Deal”, we have a powerful tool which can be employed against them, by restoring Glass Steagall bank separation, and doing it in alliance with other sovereign nations, including Russia and China.  Don’t be a sucker for the globalists’ lies — join the Schiller Institute’s anti-Malthusian movement, and sign up for our conference on June 26-7. 

We Are Still in an Extremely Dangerous Strategic Crisis

December 13, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

The discussion of “de-escalation” from the threatening situation around Ukraine did not last long.  While Biden affirmed that he never intended to engage U.S. troops against Russia if a war broke out in Ukraine, the war hawks met at a G7 Foreign Ministers meeting, threatening “devastating consequences” if Russia would invade Ukraine, even as they were goading on Ukraine’s neo-Nazi extremists in the defense and security forces to provoke a confrontation in eastern Ukraine.  Read Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s statement, “Psychotics Are Threatening Our Existence! Germany Must Leave NATO!”, to understand what’s behind the war drive, and how to counter it.  

Another Advance Toward Fusion Power in China’s EAST Tokamak

June 1, 2021by madeleine in China, General, Power & Energy

A record combination of high temperature and long duration of confinement of a fusion plasma has been achieved by China’s primary fusion power experiment, known as the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak, or EAST.


{Daily Pakistan} reported on May 29, “China’s artificial sun [has set] a new world record as it achieved a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for a period of 101 seconds. The huge accomplishment is a key step toward the test running of a fusion reactor. Announced by Gong Xianzu, who is a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), [who] was in charge of the experiment conducted in Hefei, capital of East China’s Anhui Province.”


The EAST experiment took a full year to prepare; and in another run, this Chinese prototype of an “artificial sun,” reached an even higher plasma temperature, 160 million degrees Celsius, and sustained it for 20 seconds. These temperatures are high enough and sustained long enough for deuterium-tritium ions in the plasma to fuse and produce energy, if the superhot plasma can be stably confined with less energy input than the output from the fusion reactions. This requires the third parameter — sustained, much higher plasma density than has thus far been reached in tokamaks.


“It’s a huge achievement in China’s physics and engineering fields,” the paper quoted ASIPP Director Song Yuntao. “The experiment’s success lays the foundation for China to build its own nuclear fusion energy station.”

“Summit of Hypocrisy” Is a Cover for Global Dictatorship

December 10, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

Friday questions — What is the Summit for Democracy?  Do you think that it is inevitable that the U.S. will go to war against Russia and China?  What is the alternative to war, how can the War Hawks be stopped?  Who or what is behind the War Hawks, and the drive for more wars?  Is there a strategy to take power from the hands of the corporate cartels?  (Hint — study LaRouche’s Four Laws, and fight for their implementation)

China Launches Tianzhou Cargo Ship Which Docks With the Space Station

June 1, 2021by madeleine in China, General, Power & Energy, Space updates

China launched the cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-2 on Saturday, May 29, which has docked with the space station core module Tianhe. It delivered supplies for the first crew, equipment, and propellant. The Long March-7 Y3 rocket, carrying Tianzhou-2, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site at 8:55 p.m. (Beijing Time), according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The launch was a complete success, the CMSA said.

The cargo includes more than 160 large and small packages, including supplies for astronauts, space-science equipment, and two tons of propellant, which are needed to keep the station in a stable orbit. After docking with Tianhe, Tianzhou-2 will replenish Tianhe’s propellant and help test equipment for space application projects.

Three astronauts will be launched on the Shenzhou-12 mission, and will stay in orbit for three months. It will be their job to unpack the goods stowed inside Tianzhou-2. In addition to supplies for the three-astronaut first crew, the gear delivered by Tianzhou-2 also includes two spacesuits for extravehicular activities, each weighing more than 100 kg, which will be needed on future “space walks.” This year, two manned craft will dock with the station.

Tianzhou-2 is also delivering space food, dubbed “space deliveries” by Chinese engineers, including many traditional Chinese dishes. From staple foods to non-staples, from meat to vegetables, the menu is appetizing for Chinese astronauts. Famous stir-fried Chinese dishes like shredded pork with garlic sauce and Kung Pao chicken are both on the menu. (The menu may be an added inducement for non-Chinese astronauts to visit the station.)

Later this year, another cargo vessel will dock with the station, as will a second manned mission. In 2022, the station will be complete, with the addition of the Wentian and Mengtian laboratory modules.

Then it will be open for other countries to send their experiments, their astronauts, or even their entire laboratories, to this truly international space station.

Don’t Fall for the Lies Coming from the Networks Behind the “Endless Wars” and the Russiagate Regime Change Coup

June 1, 2021by Malene Robinson in General, General updates, Harley Schlanger Daily Update

Well, they’re at it again.  The liars working for the imperial geopoliticians and neoliberal economists who launched the “endless wars” and Russiagate, are again involved in operations to sabotage the Putin-Biden summit, escalate provocations against China, and set up a global central banker’s dictatorship to save us from CO2!  Get the facts on who is pushing the line that COVID “escaped” from the lab in Wuhan; that Russia is involved in the Belarus plane incident and should be hit with new sanctions; and that CO2 is the cause of “man-made global warming.”  Don’t be manipulated by the lies concocted by the “Deep State” Shadow government networks, whose policies have put us on a course toward more war and systemic financial breakdown.
