This week we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Both bombings created devastation, and brought the world no closer to peace. And yet the lessons of that tragedy appear not to have been learned. Other crises also continue all around the world.  

What do you do in a period of such confusion and disorientation? Where there’s no clear and obvious pathway to end wars, to stop genocide in Gaza, to convince ‘the powers that be’ to do the right thing? 

You create initiatives, interventions into the unfolding process that can force the whole thing to transform. This week the LaRouche movement went full-speed on several critical initiatives.

Daily Update Aug 20th – From Anchorage to Beijing: Trump, Putin and Xi

Helga Zepp-LaRouche on the Kim Iversen Show

Tonight’s report will begin with excerpts from the Kim Iversen Show interview with Helga Zepp-LaRouche yesterday, which comments take up the breakthrough Alaska summit last Friday, August 15, between US and Russian presidents Trump and Putin. Helga elaborates how a convening of world leaders–Trump included–at the upcoming September 3 commemorations in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II–as called for in the Schiller Institute petition “Urgent Appeal to Presidents Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin!”–would be a continuation of that improvement in relations, and would send the strongest message possible that we are reaching a new era in cooperation. Other highlights:
We share some photos from street organizing over the weekend in France and in Texas, USA. 

We watch excerpts from a wonderful Diane Sare Friday night Symposium with Richie Freeman, The Bering Strait Tunnel Will Change the World, where Freeman fleshed out our Bering Strait development proposal. 
Kynan Thislethwaite describes a recent screening of the film 8:15 Hiroshima | From Father to Daughter.

Several media coverages of the LaRouche movement are covered, including LaRouche spokesman Harley Schlanger’s latest X-22 appearance. 
Looking forward to seeing you tonight!

Battle Report Aug 20th – Alaska Summit Threatens the Oligarchy

Your daily update for Thursday, August 21 from Diane Sare.

Daily Update Aug 21st – Why Is Zepp-LaRouche Calling for a Three-Way Summit of Trump, Putin and Xi, Now

On Monday, Aug. 18, President Donald Trump hosted acting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and seven European leaders at the White House for a series of meetings on ending the conflict in Ukraine, following up on his Alaska summit last Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a statement following the discussions, Trump reported two primary outcomes of those meetings: 1) moving toward a bilateral meeting between President Putin and President Zelenskyy, followed by a trilateral meeting including President Trump; and 2) discussions of security guarantees for Ukraine, “provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America.”

Prior to and during the meeting, those security guarantees were the obsession of the European leaders who had scrambled to Washington to back Ukraine as the last bastion against “the evil Russian invader.” It isn’t known exactly what kind of security guarantees were discussed behind closed doors, and, as with many things, the devil is in the details. While Russia will never accept European and NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine—especially with long-range missile capability—that is exactly what the British have been calling for, and it is quite unlikely that the Coalition of the Willing has so quickly suffered a change of heart.

What is needed for the world is true security, which comes not in preparing for war and deterring the enemy through military might, as heard in the hyperventilating proclamations of the geopolitically minded, warmongering European leaders; the true content of security, and of peace, is development.

This indisputable fact rests upon the authority of natural law: Mankind is a one—a unified species whose fundamental characteristic is creative discovery. The maximum development of the creative capacity of our species across the entire planet is in the best interest of every person in every nation. This principle is enshrined in the American Declaration of Independence as the Leibnizian “pursuit of happiness.”

The shift in the world that began in the Aug. 15 Alaska summit between President Trump and President Putin, away from the precipice of confrontation between nuclear powers, must be seen against the backdrop of the larger, tectonic shift occurring in the world order. The geopolitical, unipolar system is over, and more and more nations of the world, such as the BRICS+ nations, are reorganizing themselves into new modes of cooperation and collaboration for long-overdue development.

This was expressed in a statement by President Putin on the website of the Vladivostok Eastern Economic Forum, whose upcoming meeting begins September 3: “We have identified the development of the Far East as a national priority for the entire 21st century. The importance and correctness of this decision has been confirmed by life itself, by the challenges we have faced recently, and, most importantly, by the real trends that are gaining momentum in the global economy, where the key business ties, trade routes, and in general, the entire vector of development are increasingly reorienting toward the East and the Global South.”

Helga Zepp-LaRouche has called for the crucial next steps to be taken coming out of the Trump-Putin summit: President Trump must go to Beijing for the September 3rd 80th anniversary commemoration of the end of World War II and there meet with Presidents Xi Jinping and Putin; to cement a new direction for the world, away from the forever wars of the British Empire, those three Presidents must agree to lead a new mode of economic development among nations, spearheaded by the Bering Strait tunnel project.

The Aug. 15 Alaska summit between Presidents Trump and Putin succeeded in derailing what was looking like an oncoming train wreck of a head-on U.S.-Russian military confrontation, orchestrated for years by London, largely through their agents of influence in the Obama and Biden administrations. U.S. President Trump has charted a different path, and these networks are now being systematically exposed and dismantled with the help of DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s flow of revelations.
President Trump himself has been clear-eyed about this. Speaking to interviewer Mark Levin on Aug. 19 about the Ukraine crisis, Trump said: “I think it was heading to World War Three [under Biden], and you’re not going to have that anymore…. This was heading to World War Three.”
Much, however, remains to be done on the Alaska agenda. Further provocations orchestrated by London and its European satraps have to be stopped. The specifics of a system providing indivisible security to all countries in the region—and the world—remains to be fleshed out. But the principle of cooperation to achieve security for all, and not confrontation, has been proven to work.
There is a second looming train wreck that London has been working on assiduously: a total takeover of the collapsing dollar-based financial system through their crypto craze—pumping in $100-$200 trillion of worthless funny-money to bail out their $2 quadrillion speculative bubble. The most effective way to derail that crisis is for Trump to accept a Xi Jinping invitation to attend the Sept. 3 celebration in Beijing of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific in World War II, and to there hold a three-way summit meeting with Presidents Putin and Xi Jinping, as Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche has called for. The central topic: economic cooperation.
There is a systemic breakdown crisis of the entire trans-Atlantic financial system underway, and there is an urgent need to come up with alternatives to the beggar-thy-neighbor tariff warfare policies that have been foisted on the Trump administration by hedge fund operatives, such as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (think Cantor Fitzgerald), Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (think George Soros), and Stephen Miran (think Hudson Bay Capital), the head of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, whom he just named to the Federal Reserve Board to replace the departing Adriana Kugler.
Here’s what the American Soybean Association just told President Trump in an Aug. 19 open letter, in which they urged U.S.-China trade talks to stop the retaliatory tariff warfare: “U.S. soybean farmers are standing at a trade and financial precipice…. U.S. soybean farmers cannot survive a prolonged trade dispute with our largest customer.” China has historically imported more than 60% of the world’s soybean supplies, but the tariff warfare Trump has unleashed means that “China has not purchased any U.S. soybeans for the months ahead as we quickly approach harvest,” and Beijing is turning to other suppliers instead.
Soybeans are just one of dozens of agricultural and industrial sectors that are on the chopping block, as a result of Wall Street and the City of London’s perverse looting policies. If Trump were to sit down with Presidents Xi and Putin, much as he did with Putin in Alaska, an entirely different pathway for economic relations among nations could be mapped out. The Bering Strait tunnel project is just the start. This could be combined with full development of the Northern Sea Route across the Arctic Ocean, and the broader Polar Silk Road which is part of China’s global Belt and Road Initiative. The combined rail and maritime development corridors would open up Siberian and North American natural resources for joint high-tech industrial development.


International Peace Coalition #116 - The Urgent Need for a #trump, #putin  and #Xi Summit

What is driving President Trump's efforts to take over the Federal Reserve?  Everyone familiar with the work of American economist Lyndon LaRouche knows that he long advocated for shutting down that coven of private banksters and replacing it with a National Bank, founded on the principles expressed by our first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.  However, this is definitely NOT what President Trump and his cohort of crypto-billionaires intend.  Tune in tonight when I'll be joined by EIR editorial board member Paul Gallagher who will reveal the extreme vulnerability of the entire trans-Atlantic system, and we will discuss how to solve it.

Friends of the International Peace Coalition,

The logic of conflict seems to have taken on a life of its own. Zelensky and his European zombie friends continue to crow that Ukraine will be victorious, that no territorial concessions are on the table for a peace agreement with Russia. The world watches in agony and impotence as the State of Israel continues its campaign of destroying Palestinian life. How can this be stopped?

What is the way out? What can change the political geometry?

It may be that the light is at the end of the Bering Strait tunnel.

The warm meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin in Alaska included discussion not only of the NATO-Russia conflict unfolding in Ukraine, but also of the enormous potential for cooperation between their Arctic nations. Untold mineral wealth exists in the north. Building a land transportation and development corridor across the Bering Strait which separates the U.S. from Russia, will be a key feature of building out the World Land-Bridge.

Unlike transport by air or by sea, land transport and development corridors (including energy, water, and communications) fundamentally transform the economic productivity of the areas they pass through.

Were the United States to build up a partnership with Russia, and expand that to cooperation with other nations representing the future of the world (China, India, South Africa, to name a few), the paradigm of hegemonism could be replaced by one of growth.

The upcoming meeting in China of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization promises huge potential for China-India rapprochement and normalization. Already, one week ago, Wang Yi’s trip to New Delhi won benefits for both nations.

And on September 3, China will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Japanese militarism in World War II.

Will Donald Trump join Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at this historic event? It would certainly be better for Trump than his planned September 17-19 meeting with King Charles!

Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert spoke to the need for a change of government to end the fighting. "If the meaning of this plan [to take over Gaza City] means the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Gazans, it is totally unbearable and unacceptable," he told Danish media. In that case, "there is no other way to interpret it but ethnic cleansing," he said.

Irish President Michael D. Higgins has noted that despite the paralysis of the UN Security Council, the General Assembly is independently capable of calling on countries to act, including with force if need be, to ensure the supply of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, a sentiment also expressed by former South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor.

Despite the progress made by Trump and Putin in their bilateral meeting in Alaska, Zelensky and the Europeans seem intent on prolonging the war that is destroying Ukraine. Zelensky, who is acting as the President in Kiev, rejected Trump's call for a comprehensive peace and declared that Ukraine will not part with any of its territory, including even Crimea.

Escaping the your-gain-is-my-loss paradigm embraced by the Anglo-American establishment is the only way to achieve a better future.
