How to counter the drive for war?  The Trump administration must clean the war hawks out of its ranks, and form principled alliances for mutual benefit with the nations of BRICS and the Global Majority.

Daily Update May 5th – Daily War Hawks on the Offensive

Friends of the International Peace Coalition,

It is hard to avoid the reality that we are witness to a full-scale, systemic breakdown crisis underway in the West.

British geopolitics, including the deployment of terrorists, threatens to detonate yet another war, this time in the India-Pakistan theater—where both countries are nuclear powers and are openly threatening to use those weapons.

The entire peninsula of Iberia, a land area nearly the size of Texas, was thrown into pitch darkness for almost 24 hours on April 28, because Spain has most aggressively adopted the EU’s clinically insane energy policies of full reliance on "renewable"—i.e., intermittent and undependable—energy sources with the lowest possible energy flux densities. Germany and all of the EU are following close behind.

And President Trump continues to insist on a tariff policy which is predictably sharply increasing inflation and shutting down factories in the U.S.; leading to rising defaults on loans issued by banks at home and abroad; and declaring economic war on the very countries on which the U.S. physical economy most depends—in particular China.

Worse still, the dominant political Establishments in both the United States and Europe are adamantly refusing to admit that their policies have failed miserably, let alone consider options to solve the crises. As Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated in a policy discussion on April 28, "it’s very clear that the entire war danger right now comes from the inability, or unwillingness, of the Establishments of the West… [to] recognize the failure of these policies and correct them by simply replacing them with the correct policies," such as those being promoted by the BRICS and other nations of the Global South, that are intent on putting an end to 500 years of colonialism with science-driven development.

We are also witness to the U.S. government continuing to enable the genocide underway in Gaza, just as Joe Biden did, this time arguing before the International Court of Justice in favor of the Netanyahu government’s "right" to banish UNRWA—the major source of organized food and other aid to starving Palestinians—from Gaza and the West Bank.

But to "bear witness unto the truth" means responsibility to act.

And that is what the Schiller Institute—and the International Peace Coalition which it initiated in May 2023—will make its urgent agenda at its 100th consecutive weekly meeting this Friday, May 2. That meeting will kick off the IPC’s next drive to place a discussion of LaRouche’s Oasis Plan at the center of the deliberations surrounding the upcoming June 2-4 United Nations Conference demanding a "Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine." According to the UN’s convening resolution, the conference will be held in New York City and "will adopt an action-oriented outcome document… to urgently chart an irreversible pathway towards the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-State solution."

"We have to stop the genocide," Zepp-LaRouche insisted, "and for that we need a breakthrough." The approach to defeating British geopolitics and achieving peace through development that is taken in LaRouche’s Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, is exemplary of the global policies that must be adopted in the West to get it off its current, accelerating trajectory towards a systemic breakdown.

Join the IPC’s 100th meeting this Friday, to redouble our action for peace and development. And register to attend and help build the Schiller Institute’s May 24-25 conference, "A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!"

Unless those in the United States continue to willingly avoid reality, the fact that we are now heading towards a systemic breakdown crisis in the trans-Atlantic sector today, cannot be avoided.

Though the Trump Administration embarks on a different path with Russia than the previous Biden Administration, there is a clear fight being waged by the war hawks to derail the progress that has so far been made. The attacks on Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, by nasty neocons like Michael McFaul and John Bolton in the New York Post, makes this battle within the administration very clear.
Meanwhile, another war threatens to detonate in the India-Pakistan theater on the basis of a terrorist incident in Indian-controlled Kashmir, where both countries are nuclear powers and openly threatening to use those weapons. While the majority of those two countries’ leaders are set on blaming each other, an insightful comment was made by Pakistan’s Defense Minister, who pointed the finger at ‘outside forces’ for deploying terrorism in the region, particularly naming Great Britain as one of the main provocateurs in the region for the last thirty years.

On April 30, 1975, the disastrous Vietnam War had ignominiously ended, 50 years ago. It was that war, launched after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which put the United States on the path of imperialism, a policy path which previous leaders Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy had been vigorously opposed to. American troops who fought in the Second World War, which ended 80 years ago, fought against the forces of fascism and were ignited by outlook expressed by Roosevelt to end British imperialism. That war’s victory is being celebrated throughout Russia and China today. Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a three-day truce between Russia and Ukraine, commencing May 8-10, to commemorate the end of the Second World War in Europe.

That is just one step towards creating a new, security and development architecture for Europe, and all nations of the world. That process will be furthered by the Schiller Institute’s Memorial Day weekend conference on May 24-25, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!”

Fireside Chat May 1st w  Mike Bilington and Bill Jones

In March of 2001, Lyndon LaRouche delivered this keynote address to an EIR seminar in Berlin, Germany addressing the perspectives for recovery from the ongoing worldwide financial and monetary breakdown crisis. The one-day conference, which gathered over 100 policymakers, diplomats, institutional representatives, and press, centered on the theme, “America: From Economic Miracle to Nightmare: How To Overcome the Financial and Economic Crisis.”

LaRouche sharply contrasted the American intellectual tradition, typified by Hamilton, Lincoln and FDR with what he termed the "American Tories" peddling British-style "free trade" and globalization. LaRouche's historical overview of this battle for the General Welfare going back to the 15th century is essential study for all those seriously interested in understanding what became the American System of Political Economy.

With war looming between India and Pakistan, preparation to launch a new round of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Netanyahu's murderous regime, and Zelensky's threat of terrorism against celebrations marking the end of the Nazi regime 80 years ago, it is essential that the U.S. President put all his efforts into the peace process.  Join with us to shape a positive message to Trump — it is time for you to join with the Global Majority to assure a peaceful transition from 500 years of European colonialism. That should be your #1 mission!

Daily Update May 6th – Make Peace, Not Headlines

CryptoRich, a podcaster in the UK, joins me to discuss the deepening strategic crisis, and how the Censorship Industrial Complex keeps the people unaware as to how they are being manipulated.  From Ukraine, to Gaza, to Kashmir, the empire centered in London is mobilizing to break up Russia and China, and defeat the campaign by the Global Majority to move from a Unipolar to a Multipolar Order.

Tonight’s program begins with a recent “intervention” made on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), where the mistaken association by an audience heckler of the actions of the ‘intervener’ with the LaRouche movement showed that the voice of LaRouche is what is heard when there are words of courage and truth. 

On this week’s 80th anniversary of the defeat of fascism in Europe, TLO President Diane Sare wrote a special statement, and LaRouche movement members helped celebrate the occasion at an Immortal Regiment march in Washington DC.

Bob Hux reports from Canada, and Robert Castle reports on organizing young people in the United States. We cover the 100th meeting of the Schiller Institute’s “International Peace Coalition,” with important input into the confrontations in Iran, Israel/Palestine, and China.

Dr. Wolfgang Lilge of the LaRouche movement in Germany announces the release of the new issue of the German Fusion magazine. We have excerpts of two of many interviews done with LaRouche movement members this week, a CGTN interview with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and an Algerian AL24 News interview with Jacques Cheminade.
There are important contributions to many of the hot strategic situations around the world as the LaRouche movement organizes.

May 5, 2025 (EIRNS)—Today’s different zones of strategic crisis are in various phases of escalation, or temporary de-escalation, in Ukraine, in the Pakistan-India conflict, and in Southwest Asia, with the warfare and horror in Gaza the most urgent to be stopped.
This world situation points up the role of the Schiller Institute conference in three weeks, titled, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence,” and the vital process of the International Peace Coalition, which now has met for 100 weeks straight.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and leader, has insisted on the point of approaching all crises from the highest level. She said today that we have to “create a world to solve issues through development.” The dynamic is in motion and gathering force. The BRICS summit will take place in July in Brazil.
Zepp-LaRouche put forward the task of mobilizing for the next five weeks for the Oasis Plan approach, in the countdown to the June 2-4 UN meeting in New York City, on the two-state mandate for Gaza and a reconstruction plan. In the course of this mobilization, the May 24-25 two-day Schiller Institute conference in the Metropolitan New York area is the place to confer on the principles involved. Register now. Join up with the International Peace Coalition, beginning this Friday.
Diane Sare, President of The LaRouche Organization (TLO) published a leaflet titled VE Day 2025: Celebration and Rededication for circulation around the celebrations of the defeat of Fascism in Europe. Sare writes: 

“Therefore, let us not only celebrate the victory won on the battlefields of Europe eight decades ago, but let us now resolve that none of those dead in that war, or the tragic series of wars which came after, shall have died in vain. We must act now so that the innocent Palestinian infant, and the fallen IDF soldier, the fearless Russian youth, or the conscripted Azov fighter, will be immortalized in their better nature – the universal goodness of Man, which for reasons unknown is obscured or buried among the tortured souls who have been the aggressors, but who are human nonetheless.  No human is an animal.”
“Our actions today, to bring about a just world, will fulfill the purpose of those departed souls who perished in innocence, guilt, or valor, no matter what they may have thought their purpose was.”
Join Helga Zepp-LaRouche and the LaRouche Movement and become an active participant in the creation of the New Paradigm.
