In reviewing the ongoing series of discussions this week between Russia, the U.S. and NATO -- which she said so far "looks terrible" -- Helga Zepp-LaRouche returned to what she described as the two alternative approaches to relations between nations.  The Versailles Treaty at the end of World War I has in common with the posture of the U.S. and NATO today the view that the victors in war can dictate the terms of peace, as a unipolar force.  This blatant assertion of world dominance ignores the legitimate wishes of other nations, and insists on their subordination to the unipolar power.  This typifies the "arrogance of power" of today's globalist war hawks, who claim the U.S. "won the Cold War", and therefore has the right to be the dominant world power.

In contrast, the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years War in 1648, was based on the idea that recognizing the "interests of others" is the key to a durable peace.  The outright rejection thus far by U.S. negotiators of the legitimacy of President Putin's security concerns will not be accepted by Russia.  While it is better to talk than not, she said, the overall posture of the U.S. in these talks has "lowered the nuclear threshold", making the use of nuclear weapons more likely should war break out.  

NATO, which should have been dissolved at the end of the Cold War, must be replaced, especially since its present policy course leads to a war in which its members in Europe will be destroyed.  Belonging to a security alliance which would lead to war doesn't make sense.  Demonizing Putin and attacking the Belt-and-Road Initiative when the western financial system is crashing also does not make sense.  She concluded by calling on our viewers to participate in the emergency Schiller Institute's online seminar on January 17, on the theme, "Stop the Murder of Afghanistan."

Replace NATO With A Security Architecture Based On The Westphalian Principle

MASTER MANIPULATORS!  WITH ALEX KRAINER AND HARLEY SCHLANGER

Will the growls and howls of the pro-war wolves drown out the reasonable voices calling for peace and development?  Have we not seen enough war and destabilization to know it solves nothing, but makes matters worse?  The City of London needs Permanent war, but the Global Majority is crying out for peace.  That voice needs to be louder in the U.S., to overcome the censorship and brainwashing committed to war.
The International Peace Coalition i(IPC) is playing a unique role in rallying forces to construct a new architecture for peaceful economic cooperation. Here is a link to a crucial dialogue on the method of self-development of the quality of mind needed to win this fight:

Daily Update Nov 17th – It Takes Courage to Fight for Peace

This week, Diane will be joined by long time LaRouche co-thinker and President of France's "Solidarity & Progress" Jacques Cheminade.

The French Connection to the American Revolution with Jacques Cheminade

President Trump said he's open to a diplomatic resolution with Venezuela instead of another disastrous regime change coup. He also announced a flip-flop on his decision to NOT release the Epstein files, bowing to the pressure for disclosure.  But we are not yet guaranteed full disclosure.  To get to the Deep State role, whether in pushing war against Venezuela or a cover-up of who was deploying and protecting Epstein, you must get the full picture.  That's why you should subscribe to the EIR (see link for subscription below).

Daily Update Nov 18th – No More Wars, No More Regime Change Coups

The fight over the Epstein "Files", the ADL and its "Israel First" policy, and the push for war against Venezuela exposes the vulnerability of the War Hawk-neocon establishment, and have opened a potential to defeat them.  This is an opportunity to free the population from the hybrid warfare of the pro-censorship crowd, with their fanatical efforts to control the narrative.  Get moving with us -- Now is the time for organizing, NOT the time to "wait and see" what happens!

Daily Update Nov. 19th – All Hell Is Breaking Loose — Now Is the Time to Move!

Leading into tomorrow’s 11am EIR Roundtable discussion on the increasingly dangerous situation in the Caribbean–led by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and including participants from Venezuela, Brazil, Guyana, Mexico, and the United States–tonight’s report begins with two organizing items that address this hot issue. First we watch Diane Sare’s Latest Tiktok Video, where she speaks on the situation in Venezuela and how to actually stop the drug trade. 

Then we hear from Fabiola Ramirez  (LaRouche Movement, Mexico) on the organizing done in Mexico this week to show that physical economic development with the BRICS+ and the Belt and Road Initiative provides an actual pathway for the Carribean region to develop and get out of any ‘drug wars.’

We then return to Paris, the location of our recent International Conference, for an on-the-ground organizing report given by younger members attending the conference from Brazil and Mexico.

Weekly Battle Report – Time To Overcome the Old Paradigm

Your daily update for Thursday, November 20 from Diane Sare.

Daily Update Nov 20th – Reason in a Time of Crisis

The Caribbean/Venezuela situation is extremely worrying. The worst since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. There is no reason for the military buildup other than the overthrow of Maduro. When overwhelming military assets are gathered, it becomes more than likely it will be used. A group of former leaders of Caricom, incuding Ramotar, issued a statement a week ago demanding the Caribbean remain a zone of peace.

We are descending internationally into the law of the jungle. The U.S. fears the BRI, which the nations of the South find attractive because China actually build things. The U.S. views this as a threat, but they should not fear it. China targets no one. The U.S. can and should cooperate with the BRI.

The U.S. has great potential historically for doing good. Xi Jinping’s policy coincides with the LaRouche proposals, they have the same intention of North-South cooperation. The interview ends with a warning about the danger of nuclear war, and an endorsement of EIR as a source of vital intelligence.

Pres. Donald Ramotar — Don't Blow Up the Caribbean!

Join us for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Pino Arlacchi, former UN Under-Secretary-General and global expert on organized crime and drug policy.
In this powerful conversation, Arlacchi pulls no punches:

Venezuela & Trump’s Policy: “I’m shocked by this behavior” – a blatant violation of sovereignty and international law. It’s not about drugs; it’s about oil, regime change, and geopolitics.
Drug Routes & Europe: Analyzing a live map, Arlacchi confirms the reliability of current trafficking patterns and discusses Europe’s role in the global drug trade.
Money Laundering & the “Holder Doctrine”: Calls claims of systemic collapse a “blatant exaggeration.” Yes, drug money flows through banks — but it won’t bring down the financial system. The real culprit behind America’s opioid crisis, including fentanyl? Big Pharma and U.S. policy failures.
Legalization? No Thanks: “I’m not a prohibitionist,” but legalization won’t solve the problem — it may even make it worse.
Afghanistan & Real Solutions: Arlacchi shares his firsthand experience leading UN efforts in Afghanistan, emphasizing economic development and major infrastructure projects as the true path to eliminating drug production.
The Bigger Picture: “We have the tools; we can eliminate the drug trade.” But the real global threat? Unregulated financial capital — and why China’s model offers a stark contrast.

Arlacchi ends with a bold invitation: a follow-up interview on global finance and power. We’ve accepted.

Pino Arlacchi – We Can Defeat Dope Inc. and Win a New Paradigm

EIR News Interview: Dr. Gershon Baskin on the Gaza Ceasefire and the Path to Lasting Peace

In this in-depth 28-minute conversation, renowned Israeli peace advocate and negotiator Dr. Gershon Baskin – the architect of the 2011 Gilad Shalit exchange and a key behind-the-scenes figure linking Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff with Hamas representatives – discusses how the current Gaza ceasefire was achieved and what must happen next for it to endure.
Key points include:
• President Trump’s critical intervention, made possible by regional cooperation and U.S. leadership in humanitarian coordination and multinational peacekeeping
• The absolute necessity of large-scale economic development and reconstruction in Gaza – in line with the principles of the Oasis Plan – to create hope and overcome decades of mutual distrust
• Why joint infrastructure projects involving Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Arab states, the United States, and China offer the most realistic path forward
• The role Qatar can play in bridging U.S. and Chinese cooperation, and why excluding BRICS nations would undermine the Abraham Accords and regional prosperity
• Marwan Barghouti’s possible release: Baskin’s long-standing support for it, concerns about his condition after years of harsh treatment, and the importance of free Palestinian elections
• One-state vs. two-state realities: why only mutual recognition of each people’s right to national self-determination can work
• Baskin’s positive response to the Westphalian principle of “the advantage of the other” and Nicholas of Cusa’s approach to resolving contradictions on a higher plane

Here, one of Israel’s most experienced negotiators expresses strong alignment with the development-oriented, great-power-cooperation framework that EIR and the LaRouche movement have advocated for decades.
