On May 1, 2003, then-President George W. Bush declared “Mission Accomplished” in the U.S.-NATO invasion of Iraq, less than two months after the invasion had been launched. As things turned out, Bush’s boastful speech made him a subject of ridicule, as the war lasted another eight years, and U.S. troops remain in Iraq today. With a multitude of questions still […]

The Brussels narrative, repeated by EU member countries, to justify their pro-war policy has been simple: “Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is the victim”. But the same logic evidently does not apply to the case in which the U.S. is clearly the aggressor and Venezuela is the victim. Reactions from the various leaders have been particularly subdued, considering their […]

In the week from Dec. 26 to Jan. 2, the Federal Reserve injected $142 billion of emergency liquidity into the repo market, with $74 bn on Dec. 31 alone, the biggest such operation since the Covid pandemic. Mainstream financial media rushed to play down the event, insisting that it is normal at year-end for corporations to need liquidity, and thus […]

The International Peace Coalition (IPC), co-founded by the Schiller Institute, is circulating an urgent appeal to the American people, as well as to President Trump and the U.S. Congress, calling for the reversal of the decision to install new and deadlier weapons systems in Germany as of 2026. It was under a decision endorsed by then-U.S. President Biden and German […]

The recent weeks have seen farmers in many nations in Europe take to the streets with tractors in rallies from Great Britain to France, Greece and Poland, to oppose the worsening of living conditions in their nations. While particulars differ from place to place, the farmers’ “issues” all come under three common themes, as pointed out in a new EIR […]

As the year 2025 draws to an end, the prospects for the new year, seen from the West, are rife with uncertainty. From a strategic standpoint, the world’s attention has been largely focused on the ongoing talks to end the war in Ukraine. Progress toward a negotiated solution seems to have been made in the discussion President Trump had with […]

In this year when the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, Diane Sare, a leader of the LaRouche movement and former candidate for U.S. Senate from New York State, will hold a very special event on January 10, starting 22:00 Central European time, in New York City. Among the guest speakers are former UN weapons inspector Scott […]

Perhaps more important than the meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago on Dec. 28, were the discussions that took place both before and after between the Russian and U.S. leaders. The White House and the Kremlin both reported their satisfaction after both phone calls. A more detailed statement came from Russian Presidential aide Yury Ushakov on Dec. 29, […]

For the past three and a half years, the predominant narrative underlying most foreign policy actions in Europe has been about Russia’s “unprovoked aggression” in Ukraine. These words have led to the wasting of hundreds of billions of dollars in military expenditures, the deployment of the largest-ever sanctions regime, the sacrificing of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives, and the […]

The credibility of the EU’s claims to defend democracy and free speech is dwindling by the day, as Brussels takes increasingly aggressive actions to impose “thought control” by threatening and sanctioning those who criticize its policy line. The most egregious case is that of Jacques Baud, a highly respected former Swiss Army colonel, former officer of the Strategic Intelligence Service, […]
