The following international call was issued on Feb. 23 by the Schiller Institute. We strongly urge our readers to sign it and circulate it as much as possible through social media, among political and social organizations as well as all concerned citizens. The text is available in ten languages at the link below. In light of the escalating Ukraine crisis, […]

Western elites are ruthlessly using the Russia-Ukraine crisis to implement what they call the “mother” of all bailouts of the financial system. Since the collapse of that system has been proceeded apace over the past months (cf. SAS 2-6/22), central banks, despite hyperinflation on the march, were only looking for a pretext to justify a new, massive bailout. As if […]

By freezing assets associated with Russia’s central bank under their jurisdiction, EU countries, along with the UK, the U.S. and Canada, left Moscow in charge of only about one third of its $630 billion worth of reserves, through domestic gold and Chinese yuan. While this gives Russia a certain maneuvering room, such sanctions undeniably amount to an act of war. […]

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, made a special 24 minute video statement on Feb. 28, 2022, reviewing the build-up of the crisis in Ukraine, which can be viewed here. She opened as follows: “I’m speaking to you because I want to give you an extremely important message. As you know, since a few days, Russian troops are in […]

While there can be no doubt that the main decision-makers behind the the package of economic and military measures taken last weekend against Russia were Anglo-American geopolitical circles, they also involved a shocking turnaround in Berlin and the announcement of a huge rearmament program. Helga Zepp-LaRouche called this policy shift “an earthquake” and an “absolute catastrophe”, because Chancellor Scholz turned […]

Many voices have emerged in NATO countries calling on their respective governments to take into account Russia’s legitimate demands for security guarantees, which have been cavalierly rejected up to now. * From the United States, Tulsi Gabbard, a former Congresswoman from Hawaii and former Democratic Party presidential candidate who served in Iraq, has come under severe fire for her outspoken […]

According to a report by the World Food Program earlier this year, more than 200 million people in the world today are in in danger of starvation, and their rank threatens to grow by another 100 million in this year alone. This dramatic estimate for 2022 was issued even before the ongoing military conflict in Europe. In Afghanistan, 23 million […]

On the evening of Feb. 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had begun the process of recognition of the self-proclaimed Donbas republics, after concluding that Kiev had demonstrated no intention of conceding autonomy as per the Minsk agreements. Indeed, Ukrainian Army operations in the Donbas had escalated in the previous days, forcing local authorities to evacuate the civilian […]

As indicated in the previous item above, the increasingly shrill and hysterical anti-Putin narrative coming from the trans-Atlantic world has less to do with Ukraine and the deployment of Russian troops, than with the collapse of the post-Cold War “unipolar order”, and the effort directed from the City of London and Wall Street (acting through the “Military-Industrial Complex”) to prevent […]

President Putin and his advisers clearly understood the West’s intention to use Ukraine as a tool to justify their destruction of the Russian economy. They were expecting more and harsher sanctions against Russia and Belarus, even if no invasion were to take place! According to many observers, Russia can survive new, harsher sanctions, but the effects will be felt much […]
