Since the June 28 debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, a crescendo of voices has been building, calling for the President to withdraw from the race. Some Democratic Congressmen are speaking out, warning that a loss to Trump in the November election is likely if Biden is the nominee, so he must be replaced by a […]

As the BRICS initiative for a common trade currency gains momentum (cf. SAS 25/24), several narratives are being produced in the West, especially among conservative and pro-Trump networks, to present it as an “attack” on the U.S. dollar or the dollar system, and to claim that its proposed use of blockchain technologies shows that the BRICS are a tool of […]

The second round of the legislative elections in France have left the country in quite a chaotic and unstable political situation. The left-wing New Popular Front (NPR), a heterogenous mix of leftists, socialists, communists and greens, has the most seats in the new parliament (184), while the Macronists in Ensemble ended up with many more seats (166) than their dismal […]

The snap elections held July 4 in the United Kingdom handed a smashing defeat to the Tory Party which, after 14 years in power, lost a full two thirds of its seats in Parliament (from 367 down to 119). Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who had called the elections knowing his party would lose, immediately resigned and Labour Party leader Keir […]

In its summer forecast report, the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) has once again revised upwards its growth forecast for the Russian economy and pointed to the increasing gap in Europe between a growing east and a contracting west. Other data on industrial production corroborate its conclusions, showing that the sanctions policy and the “Green Deal” have become […]

“From the highest-ranking NATO officer to the ‘Soviet General’? The inexplicable transformation of Harald Kujat” is the title given by the July 7 Neue Zürcher Zeitung to its crude “profile” of German General (ret) Harald Kujat. Its author is the Swiss daily’s defense editor, Marco Seliger, who is not a “neutral Swiss”, but a German national with excellent pro-NATO credentials. […]

Hamas recently dropped its demand that any ceasefire deal it signs must contain the commitment by Israel to completely end the war in Gaza, and is thus ready to approve the agreement brokered by the United States. A Hamas official and an Egyptian official, both unnamed, told AP July 6 that Washington’s phased deal would start with a “full and […]

In assessing last week’s developments with associates on July 1, Helga Zepp-LaRouche pointed to the acceleration of the crumbling of the old order, while the new order continues to emerge, but the outcome is still undetermined. One obvious sign of the demise of the old order are the legislative elections in France, which followed the European elections and are harbingers […]

The stumbling, at times incoherent performance of President Joe Biden in his June 27 debate with Donald Trump sent shock waves through mainstream media pundits — not because they were unaware of his infirmities, but because they had assumed his handlers would be able to cover them up. His weak responses to most questions, combined with an often prolonged, clueless […]

As for Biden’s performance, former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard posted in a short video on her X account June 28: “The problem isn’t just that Biden is old. The problem is he’s insane. Only a madman would not consider a nuclear holocaust/war an existential threat, saying ‘the ONLY existential threat to humanity is climate change.’” Gabbard then played a clip […]
