What started with a relatively small bank in California and was supposed to be no threat to the financial system, has expanded to a “systemic relevant” institution such as Credit Suisse, proving to be exactly what we had warned of: a precursor of the global financial collapse (cf. SAS 11/23). Aggravated by 15 years of money pumping, the overall debt […]

Is it nemesis that Switzerland, which nearly introduced bank separation legislation a few years ago, is now hit by a financial collapse, which could have been avoided.

Even before Chinese President Xi Jinping landed in Moscow on March 20 for a three day state visit, the Biden Administration had announced they would reject whatever proposals came out of their discussions.

Throughout Europe, from North to South, protests are growing against the established parties. Specific grievances may vary from country to country, but the common denominator is the rejection of the current neo-liberal order, which has brought economic destruction, brutal social cuts and war, as the following examples show.

A founding member of the German Green Party, Antje Vollmer, passed away on March 15 at age 79 after a long illness. In the political testament she left, entitled “What I Would Still Like To Say”, she blasts the war-mongering current leadership of the Greens.

The following appeal was issued on March 14 by the chairwoman of the Schiller Institute Helga Zepp-LaRouche. It can be signed at the link below. The tremors in the financial system felt around the world triggered by the run on Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in the United States, its subsequent closure and being put in receivership, are the clarion call […]

“Without the Development of All Nations, There Can Be No Lasting Peace for the Planet”, is the theme of the international online conference the Schiller Institute will hold on Saturday, April 15, 2023, from 16.00 to 23 CET, featuring speakers from around the world.

Over the past months, we have repeatedly warned that as soon as a large financial institution goes bust due to central bank monetary tightening, and threatens a systemic contagion, those very same central banks would throw the “fight against inflation” out the window, and resume liquidity pumping on an unprecedented scale. When the British Bond Crisis of 2022 hit last […]

A stunning blow to the geopolitical “rules-based order” was delivered on March 10 with the announcement, from Beijing, of the resumption of diplomatic relations between Riyadh and Tehran. Representatives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran announced that they would reestablish diplomatic ties no later than two months from now. This was done, as the […]
