Den 10. marts (EIRNS) — Det blev i dag meddelt, at udenrigsminister Antony Blinken og den nationale sikkerhedsrådgiver, Jake Sullivan, vil mødes med Kinas to førende udenrigspolitiske talsmand, Yang Jiechi, direktøren for Det kinesiske Kommunistpartis centrale udenrigsudvalg, og udenrigsminister Wang Yi, den 18. marts i Alaska. Mødet følger et besøg i Japan og Sydkorea i næste uge af Blinken og forsvarsminister Lloyd Austin.

Betydningen af dette møde mellem USA og Kina kan ikke overdrives, selv om resultatet er fuldstændig uforudsigeligt. Det kunne være et lovende skridt i retning af verdensfred og udvikling, eller det modsatte, en cementering af det ekstremt racistiske og fremmedfjendske hysteri mod alt kinesisk, der dominerede det sidste år af Trump-administrationen under Mike Pompeo, og som har været helt og fuldt godkendt af Blinken og Sullivan i deres ”Interim National Security Strategic Guidance”, der blev frigivet af Det hvide Hus den 3. marts

Præsident Biden selv udtrykte en af de få kloge ting i hans præsidentskab efter hans to timers lange telefonsamtale med præsident Xi Jinping den 10. februar, hvor han kom ind på relationerne mellem USA og Kina som omtalt under hans tale til sikkerhedskonferencen i München den 19. februar: ”Det handler ikke om at sætte øst op imod vest. Det handler ikke om, at 'vi vil have en konflikt'. Vi ønsker en fremtid, hvor alle nationer er i stand til frit at bestemme deres egen vej uden truslen om vold eller tvang. Vi kan ikke, og må ikke vende tilbage til det refleksmæssige modsætningsforhold og de stive blokke under Den kolde Krig”.

Faren er, at Blinken og Sullivan har forpligtet sig til at "stille lande som Kina til ansvar", og "sikre at Amerika, og ikke Kina, sætter den internationale dagsorden". Sådan britisk imperialistisk tænkning, geopolitik, når det er værst, stammer fra en tankegang der afviser enhver tanke om, at nationer har ret til "frit at bestemme deres egen vej uden trussel om vold eller tvang", som Biden har udtrykt det.

Værre er det, at kommandanten for den amerikanske kommando over Indo-Stillehavsområdet, admiral Philip Davidson, under sin redegørelse til Senatets militær-udvalg 9. marts, demonstrerede den nu almindelige praksis med "forventning", der tilskriver Kina (såvel som Rusland) nøjagtigt de ensidige handlinger, som USA selv foretager: ”Kinas kommunistiske Parti fremmer et lukket og et autoritært system gennem intern undertrykkelse og ekstern aggression,” sagde Davidson. "Kinas skadelige tilgang til regionen inkluderer en hel partipolitisk indsats for at betvinge, korrumpere og kollapse regeringer, virksomheder, organisationer og befolkninger i Indo-Stillehavsområdet". Dette kommer fra en militærleder i et land, der militært har væltet regeringer, ødelagt deres økonomier, indsat marionetregimer og efterladt deres økonomier i ruiner overalt i Mellemøsten, samtidig med at de indfører ensidige sanktioner mod snesevis af lande rundt om i verden.

Det er bestemt tilfældet, at Kina og Rusland bygger deres militære kapacitet op og har lovet samarbejde med hinanden, hvis de bliver angrebet. Det er imidlertid ikke indlysende for enhver, at de mobiliserer inden for deres egne grænser, mens det angloamerikanske krigsparti har militærbaser i 80 lande rundt om i verden, alt imens de flytter NATO op til den russiske grænse og endog ind i Asien?

De fleste af verdens nationer nægter at "vælge side" imod Kina, og de fleste ser faktisk på Kina og Rusland som den eneste kilde til den nødvendige humane støtte i dette øjeblik med eksistentiel krise for menneskeheden – adgang til de russiske og kinesiske vacciner, mens Vesten har hamstret deres rigelige forsyninger; infrastrukturudvikling gennem Bælte- og Vejinitiativet, mens Vesten ikke alene nægter storstilet infrastruktur til landene sydpå, men tillige agerer for at sabotere kinesiske og russiske bestræbelser på at tilbyde en sådan udvikling.

Amerikanerne imødeser nu et sammenbrud af deres historiske karakter – økonomien er ved at falde fra hinanden; finanssystemet er en massiv boble klar til at eksplodere; de forfatningsmæssige garantier for ytringsfrihed 'blæser i vinden', idet censur af tale og endda af ideer er blevet dagens norm; narkotikaplagede byer er overrendt med desperate hjemløse; og, vigtigst, løftet om en fremtid med fremskridt og udvikling ødelægges åbent under den falske 'Green New Deal'. Disse grønne fascister går ikke længere ind for det bibelske begreb om menneskehedens herredømme over naturen, men snarere indførelse af deindustrialisering og affolkning, påtvunget af de bankerotte finansielle institutioner under the 'Great Reset'.

Situationen er dyster, men det er netop under sådanne forhold, hvor folk endelig kan se, at det haster med at droppe deres fordomme og deres fejlslagne aksiomer, at lede efter sandheden uden for de åbenlyst løgnagtige medier og tage personligt ansvar for menneskehedens skæbne. Schiller Instituttet og LaRouche-Organisationen opfordrer alle patrioter og alle verdensborgere til at deltage i konferencen den 20.-21. marts med talere fra hele verden under temaet: World at a Crossroad: Two Months into the New US Administration (Verden ved en skillevej: To måneder inde i den nye amerikanske Administration).

Tilmeld dig konferencen her, https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/20210320-conference og inviter andre til at deltage. Mød truslen om en ny mørk tidsalder med mod og optimisme om, at en ny renæssance for hele menneskeheden er både nødvendig og mulig.

I sin ugentlige dialog uddybede Helga Zepp-LaRouche hvordan åben dialog, snarere end profileret reaktion, er nøglen til at håndtere de kriser, som menneskeheden står overfor. De tre hovedtemaer hun behandlede var:

Den voksende modstand imod den store nulstilling (Great Reset) og den grønne New Deal;

Hvordan de fejl, der er begået i de vestlige lande i håndteringen af​​pandemien – inklusive benægtelse – har ført til en dybere krise, mens den "tredje bølge" nu rammer Vesteuropa;

Hvordan de unilateralistiske krigshøges anti-kinesiske propagandakampagne sætter Vesten på en farlig krigssti, baseret på falsk propaganda fra det militære industrielle kompleks.  

Hun opfordrede seerne til at deltage i Schiller Instituttets kommende todages videokonference, der åbnes med et panel om at vende tilbagegangen i den klassiske kultur i Vesten, hvilket har bidraget til, at manges godtroenhed over for løgnene fra krigshøgene og de nyliberale.

Helga Zepp LaRouche Takes on the False Axioms of The War Party and Neo-liberals

The LaRouche Organization Weekly Dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Thursday, March 11, 2021

HARLEY SCHLANGER: Hello, I’m Harley Schlanger. Welcome to our weekly dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche the founder and chairwoman of the Schiller Institute. Today is March 11, 2021.

One of the interesting things that’s happened in the last days, is the emergence of what you might call an opposition grouping to the Green New Deal, with the legal suit filed by 12 states against the Executive Order by Joe Biden, declaring basically an emergency order on climate change and the Green New Deal. It wasn’t quite a bill, yet, but it’s quite interesting, isn’t it, Helga?

HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: I think this is very promising, because the Attorney General of Missouri, a man called Eric Schmitt is taking the lead on that, on behalf of these 12 states, and the arguments they’re making are quite truthful, and they apply to Europe in the same way as they apply to the United States, basically saying that these policies, which really are the Great Reset and the Green Deal, they destroy the work of generations, they attack every household, every family; they destroy industry, agriculture; and they would drive up energy prices, they would destroy jobs. So they are really on the march forward to defeat that. Now, we have to see where this goes. But this legal action immediately had a very revitalizing effect on the farmers in those states and other states. And I think it would be extremely important that people in Europe who are affected by the same atrocity, but I have not seen anything like that in terms of really speaking out, that the Great Reset will only help the speculators, it will only help the hedge funds, and the very rich to become more rich, and the poor to become poorer. I would wish that this is being taken up as well.

Now, I think the Great Reset, [“The Great Leap Backward: LaRouche Exposes the Green New Deal”] which is the report we published some weeks ago, which is now coming out in the form of mass pamphlets in several countries, this is biggest assault on the living standard and the character of the European nations and the United States as industrial nations, and it will completely cause chaos. I would encourage people to both look at our report, which has all the background on where this comes from, because most people, even if they oppose it, they are not quite clear about the oligarchical nature of this policy; but at the same time, take some example by the action of these 12 states in the United States and formulate similar opposition.

SCHLANGER: Just so people know, they’re challenging the Executive Order 13990, which mandates green reset policies. What they’ve said is that this will damage manufacturing, decrease the electricity supply, suppress agriculture, and increase poverty, meaning increased expenses to the states; they’re saying hundreds of billions of dollars in damage and they claim the White House does not have the power to make policy in these areas, that it should be in the Congress. So that is quite an interesting development.

But meanwhile, we have John Kerry jetting over to Brussels to be welcomed back to the fold of the Paris Climate Agreement by von der Leyen and the European Commission.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes, this is quite outrageous. What Kerry actually said is that even the Paris Agreement is not enough, that with the present policies which are already completely insane, there still would be a warming up of the Earth of 3.6°F, which is not supported by fact at all, and even the CO₂ connection is very dubious. If John Kerry was so much concerned about that, I mean, there would be one easy thing to reduce the CO₂ emissions, he could shut down the military-industry complex. Because one Eurofighter in one hour emits 11 tons of CO₂. So if you really wanted to go after the climate problem, then we could reduce these incredibly dangerous and provocative military maneuvers which are taking place all the time. But that is obviously not the real issue.

And if you then look at another aspect, namely, the absolute hysteria by the German media in particular around the 10th anniversary of the incident at Fukushima, where if you would believe what some of these radio reports and media reports were saying, this was the ultimate proof that nuclear energy is dangerous. But the reality is, that while more than 20,000 people died in Fukushima and elsewhere, none of them died as a result of nuclear radiation, but they all died as a result of the tsunami and the earthquake in Tohoku triggering that tsunami. So this is really incredible. In Germany we have a politician, Norbert Röttgen, who is the head of the CDU and foreign policy commission in the Bundestag, he went out of his way to say, “no renaissance of nuclear energy, and only all renewable. And look at it, all these hedge funds and all these major player are now investing in solar and renewable, isn’t that the proof that this is a good thing?”

Well, the reality is the Great Reset is an investment in the biggest bubble and the biggest swindle, because if you invest in CO₂ emission titles, you are investing in something which in reality does not exist, other than that it will completely destroy the economy.

Now, we have pointed out many times to the fact that that insanity affects only the so-called “Western” countries, because Putin, at the same time had a meeting with some of his ministers, and he basically said that Russia is going to increase its coal production and 50% of that will be exported to Asia. [http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/65085] And, naturally, the Chinese intend to have 50% of their energy supply by 2050 still coming from coal, while going heavily into nuclear energy.

And the Chinese, on the other side, they just announced that they will soon start the first commercial high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR). This is a technology which was developed in Germany by Professor Schulten from Jülich, and because it was politically unrealizable in Germany, Professor Schulten gave the entire technology to the Chinese, because he said this technology is too precious, so rather give to the Chinese than not have it developed. Now, if you want to have a really safe nuclear energy, then you go to high-temperature reactors, which, for physical reasons turn off immediately if there is the slightest irregularity.

This just shows you that behind all of this, the so-called “climate” question, the anti-nuclear question, there are quite different motives, namely, to reduce the population: And that is what is not being accepted by Russia and China. And we have discussed many times in the past, and I want to repeat it, this self-destruction of the West by deindustrializing, by bringing back the level of industry and agriculture to the time of the preindustrial era, means the West is weakening itself. And naturally, this increases the war danger, because Russia and China have no intention of doing likewise, and therefore the so-called “threat of the rise of China” will be increasingly an issue. So these things have all kinds of strategic implications, that people who normally think about these questions are not really thinking through.

SCHLANGER: And we’ll take up the broader geopolitical question on this in a moment, but I think it’s interesting for people in especially the West, who don’t like the Great Reset and the Green New Deal, to realize that there are allies around the world, including Russia and China; and that’s part of the reason the geopoliticians of the empire are trying to provoke war between the East and the West.

We’ll come to that in a moment. I think we should move to the question of the pandemic, where it’s clear that the situation in Europe, in particular, but also in sections of the third world, has moved into a new phase, particularly in countries like Italy, Germany. What information do you have on this, Helga?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: For all those people who said the pandemic is just an invention and it doesn’t exist, the reality is, because of the failure of the governments to deal with it in an efficient way—and I’m saying this knowing that many people will have a nervous breakdown when I say it—but, contrary to the Asians, not only China, but most of the Asians who dealt with the outbreak of the pandemic extremely efficiently and had low death rates, in most of the rest of the world the pandemic is completely out of control. Maybe the most dangerous situation is in Brazil, where a new strain has developed. You have practically the entire health system at its limit; all the ICU units are filled; and the situation is practically out of control. And the former President Lula da Silva, who was just freed of all accusations in the courts, basically said that present President Jair Bolsonaro is an imbecile the way he criminally dealt with the situation, playing it down, by not providing the measures needed.

So, how you have a situation in which the largest country in Latin America, which borders with almost all nations of South America—not all of them, but most of them—is becoming a hotbed of an eruption of the pandemic. But if you go to Europe, it does not look much better. You have a situation in Italy, where now there are more than 100,000 who have died—and Italy only has 60 million people! So, in reality that means the death rate in Italy is even a little bit higher than that in the United States! All of Europe has 560,000 who died. Now, that’s quite a big number.

So then you have a situation where many countries are now taking resolute measures, because they see that the EU Commission utterly failed. They failed a year ago, to get the masks; then they failed the get the vaccines. They ordered the vaccines much too late, while the United States, Great Britain, Israel, ordered immediately, not thinking about the costs—what did the EU do? They have a woman there, an Italian, who is in charge of doing this, who has no medical background; she’s an interpreter, therefore she’s completely incompetent. So she bargained to get a better price and she missed the boat. So therefore, now the vaccines in Europe are late, and that is a situation where now many countries are turning to Russia, to China. For example, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from Hungary ordered a Hungarian plane to go to Beijing, fill it up with 550,000 doses of vaccine, and bring it back to Hungary. The same is happening in the Czech Republic, where there is a big internal brawl, where some politicians say, “we will not have our people die; we will go to Russia and get Sputnik V.” And the same is happening with Denmark and Austria, where the prime ministers, respectively the Chancellor of Austria went to Israel to consult with Netanyahu about what Israel did that was right, because they have almost the entire population vaccinated already.

Now the unity of the EU is completely disappeared, because in this situation, responsible national leaders insisted we have to protect our population, and if the EU is incapable of dealing with it, we will go to Russia, we’ll go to China, and we will take their offers to get the vaccines from there.

This is a very interesting development, and it just shows you that the mistake which was made by the EU, rather than thinking about the people, they followed their ideology, by saying, this is a perfect opportunity where we can assert the power of the EU by having more centralization, so no nation should order vaccines themselves, we’ll all do it centrally. But then they completely ruined it! They did not think of increasing the production of the vaccine production capability, they gave it to the private firms and bargained for a lower price. So by turning to the supranational construction of the EU, not thinking of the interest of the members, not putting the common good first but going to the free market ideology, they completely ruined it. And the populations are really getting mad. People are right now realizing that their livelihood is ruined, their jobs are ruined, the death rates are high. And this comes now on top of the fact that obviously, all the back and forth, lockdowns a little bit, then going back and forth, has not worked.

So in Germany, where you had a medium hard lockdown, which was supposed to be loosened by the end of March; this now becomes very dubious, because just today, the Robert Koch Institute stated that the third wave has arrived. Yesterday there were 14,000 new infections. This is also getting out of control, and it probably has to do with the new strains that are much more infectious.

The Prime Minister of Finland was warning that the way this is going, they are very concerned about the coming fall, the coming spring a year from now, and expressing the worry that the pandemic will be with us for many years to come.

I think this brings up what Dr. Tedros from the World Health Organization has been saying, that in light of this—and we are not even talking about what is happening in Africa, and some parts of Asia—that all the patents must be lifted for the time being, that the pharmaceutical concerns should not be allowed to looked at it from the standpoint of profit, but that there has to be a maximum production, and increase of production and an international cooperation. If people want to compensate these pharmaceutical firms, if governments want to do that, they can, but the question of protecting these patents should not be in the way of responding to this pandemic in the most powerful way possible, and that would be to make the vaccines a common good, and not think about profit in this situation.

That also underlines what the Schiller Institute has been saying from the very beginning, that only if we have a world health system, a modern health system in every single country, not one can be left behind, because as it is now becoming clear, if you don’t vaccinate, and test, and do contact tracing, and all of these measures, then the danger of mutations of new variants is developing and it comes back so that even the vaccines may be ineffective in those countries which have them.

So it’s really a race against time, and this idea to only take care of the rich countries and not pay attention to the poor countries, is a boomerang, and we are seeing right now that it can completely backfire. So I would really urge all of you to work with the Schiller Institute for the idea of a modern health system in every single country, work with the Committee of the Coincidence of Opposites; these are mostly doctors, nurses, and other people working with the Schiller Institute, to try to apply the kinds of methods, to address the famine, because you can’t deal with the pandemic when you have an expanding world famine at the same time, which is, according to the World Food Program threatening 300 million people this year! These two questions have to be tackled together, and you have to have a modern health system going together with overcoming poverty and underdevelopment in the developing countries, or else we will not get out of this.

SCHLANGER: Just a quick correction, you said 870 million deaths in Europe. I think it’s about 560,000.

But what I think is interesting from this discussion is that if you look at what we’ve discussed so far, in the opposition to the Great Reset and also the cooperation that’s coming from Russia and China, you have a real potential for collaboration now, between Western countries with Russia and China. And yet, we still have in the United States, coming from the British geopolitical networks, a lot of—well, provocations aimed at China in particular. And many people don’t fully understand this and are going with a knee-jerk reaction against China, in a sense, the same way they were going into a knee-jerk reaction against Russia around Russiagate.

There are some meetings coming up between the Biden administration and China, but there’s also a lot of harsh rhetoric, so, how do you see this thing shaping up, in terms of the U.S.-China perspective?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: For anybody who does not have geopolitical spectacles on their nose, would see that unless the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, are working together to tackle these problems, like the pandemic, like the poverty, like the famine, the world will be a miserable place! And therefore, what some of these military doctrines which declare Russia and China the “enemy,” are doing is really stupid. One can say more harsh words than that, but the minimum one can say is that they’re completely stupid.

There was just now a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Admiral Davidson, who’s the commander of the Indo-Pacific basically blasted China that they are oppressive toward the domestic policy and aggressive in the Indo-Pacific, threatening every country there, on and on like that—and it’s just very dangerous and part of a propaganda which in the end result can only lead to war.

Now, many people, and this is being brought up by people we are talking to in the organizing a lot, both in the United States and in Europe, who say, “but, yeah, China is this, and that.” Well, let me discuss a couple of facts: Before the Tiananmen Square in 1989, the image of Chinese in the United States was very positive. More than 80% had a positive idea about the Chinese people; then this Tiananmen Square massacre happened and the Chinese government in the meantime said that maybe the way they dealt with it was too harsh, but on the other side, one should also see very clearly that this was a first color revolution! And many of these protesters, these students, they turn out to be in think tanks in the United States. So this is like what is being done in Hong Kong, or what was done with the Orange Revolution in Ukraine or later the Maidan in Ukraine. I mean, this was a color revolution.

China protected the unity of its state. But people should just take a look at what is happening: First of all, there is absolutely no proof that China spread the virus deliberately. That has been a propaganda which was cooked up by the same geopolitical faction which really wants to contain the rise of China. China was able to deal with the virus extremely efficiently. They went into a very hard quarantine in Wuhan for two months. They built all these hospitals, they did testing, contact tracing, quarantine, and they got it completely under control. And now, when it flares up, it’s relatively easy, because they use modern electronics to trace people and isolate the people who are infected and it does not spread.

That was the reason why China in 2020, was practically the only country which had a significant economic growth, +2%. They want to have, and they will have 6% growth this year. While all the other nations, the United States, the European nations, all had collapses of 8%, 10% or something like that. And China is now set to become the engine of the economic recovery worldwide, if nations basically recognize the chance which lies in that.

People should just re-think: China in the Cultural Revolution and most of the 20th century before that, was dirt poor. Mostly very backward agriculture, people had a very low living standard. Many people died in the Cultural Revolution. And then, when Deng Xiaoping started to open up, the reform and opening-up policies, implementing the policies of Friedrich List, the German economist, and really also the American System of economy, by concentrating on the increase of the productivity of the population as the source of wealth, they made the most spectacular improvement by using what Lyndon LaRouche, my late husband, would call the “machine-tool principle”: By recognizing that innovation, the discovery of universal physical principles, as scientific and technological progress, when you apply that in the production it increases productivity and with that, you increase the wealth, the living standard, the longevity of people. And that is how China has uplifted 850 million out of poverty, created a growing, happy middle class of people who have a clear, positive idea about the future.

And China is continuously betting on the most advanced technologies: We talked about space mission to the far side of the Moon, the Mars mission, and now China has concluded together with Russia an agreement to jointly develop the Moon, Moon villages; and China will have, next year, their own space station in 2022. They already said, they were excluded from the Artemis mission, but their Chinese space station will be a model for international cooperation; it will be open for any country that wants to cooperate.

So, what do you want to criticize about that, when the people are getting better? Their living standard is improving. Most people are happy with what the government is doing. The young people are motivated to study, to learn, the government is putting a lot of emphasis on the aesthetical education, because, as Xi Jinping said, the aesthetical education is extremely important because it produces beautiful minds. They just declared the Teachers Day, or they changed the Teachers Day of education, from Sept. 14 to Sept. 28, because that’s the birthday of Confucius.

So, if you look at the reality of what China is doing, they are doing a lot of things absolutely right, and the people who are accusing China of all these horrible things, of “internal oppression, external aggression”—well, I want to say that this is, for the most part, a projection of their own evil thoughts of the accusers. And that is all you can say about it, because, ask any developing country—ask the people in Africa, in Latin America, in the Caribbean, in most Asian countries what they think about the win-win cooperation with China? They say it’s good for China, but it’s also good for us! The West is nowhere, Europeans are not building railways, Americans are not building industrial parks, so, it is simply like that.

I really wanted to say that, because I know it’s very controversial, but I can assure you, I’m not saying that for any reason but that this is my complete conviction, which, I have formed my opinion over almost half a century—actually 50 years, because I was in China the first time in 1971, and I have visited many times in between. And I have seen with my own eyes the transformation of this country. And, one also has to say, at the same time, the United States and Europe are not progressing. In Europe, you don’t see positive changes; in the United States, the infrastructure is collapsing.

So people should stop having these ideological spectacle, and look at the world for what it is, and they will be much more productive.

SCHLANGER: Just a couple of points on this double standard: Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, talking about the “rules-based order” said that “China is challenging all the rules, values and relationships that make the world work the way we want it”: That’s the unilateralism. That’s the British geopolitical doctrine that after the fall of communism in 1990, the world has to come under a U.S.-dominated “rules-based order.” And anyone who goes against that gets crushed.

Now, similarly, you mentioned Adm. Philip Davidson. He accused China of “engaging in efforts to coerce, corrupt and collapse governments.” This coming from a U.S. military official, when what have we been doing repeatedly in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in targetting Belarus and other countries? So this double standard we see all the time. And this is something people don’t think about when they get into a knee-jerk reaction against China.

The Schiller Institute is going to be sponsoring a conference on March 20-21, a two-day online conference, taking up this question of the direction of the Biden administration, after two months in office. And I encourage people to go to the Schiller Institute website, https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/20210320-conference, to register for that.

Helga, do you have anything else to add?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes. I think this coming conference will be extremely fascinating. The first panel, we decided to reverse the usual order, and every time we’ve had a conference in the past, we always said, when we had the cultural panel, usually at the end, that this was really the most important, and why don’t we put this at the beginning? This time we will do that: We will discuss the absolute crisis of education, so all the teachers and parents, professors are invited to participate. We will discuss the true dialogue of civilization, how nations can work together, and how the torch of progress was really passed from one civilization and one culture to the next, and this gives us many, many clues. We will talk about Dante, 700th anniversary of the birth of Dante. Naturally, it’s still the Year of Beethoven, so we will have a lot of music, beautiful poetry. So that will be the first panel, you should absolutely subscribe to and watch.

Then we will have an extremely important discussion on the strategic situation. We have already important speakers from the major countries, the United States, Russia, China, European countries, Africa.

And then we will have a panel on Sunday, March 21, devoted especially to Southwest Asia, because this is a region of the world which has an incredible danger—Yemen, 20 million people are in danger of dying from hunger! Syria, a country which is starving to death. You have a situation in Afghanistan, very dangerous. Iraq, dangerous, but potentially good. So, we will have a whole panel with speakers from these countries on the dangers, but also how to fix it, by expanding the New Silk Road from Iran to Egypt, to Turkey, into Europe, rebuilding Syria, rebuilding the war-torn countries. Basically, undoing the damage which was done through the endless wars, because the suffering of the people this region has to end. There will also be some discussion about the East European developments and the Indo-Pacific.

This will be a very important strategic discussion, and then we will end with the work of the Committee of the Coincidence of Opposites. And that hopefully will give you all a perspective for how to get out of this crisis. So you should really participate in this conference, and spread the knowledge that it will be taking place as far as you can.

SCHLANGER: So you can register for it at https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/20210320-conference. It’s March 20-21, a week from this coming Saturday and Sunday. Helga, thanks for joining us, and we’ll see you again next week.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Till next week.

Lyd: (Der er ingen lyd i et par korte udfald, hvor der blev stillet spørgsmål.)

Det er meget klart, at faren for en optrapning af regionale konflikter til en større konflikt mellem det såkaldte Vesten, USA, NATO, og Rusland og Kina ulmer  og er ret dramatisk, hvor man kan sige, at omdrejningspunktet Asien er i konkurrence med omdrejningspunktet Sydvestasien, om hvilken region der vil være farligere og mere eskalerende… Jeg tror ikke, situationen kan løses inden for USA i løbet af de næste fire år; Jeg tror, det kræver nøjagtigt den tilgang vi har taget i hele sidste år, at vi er nødt til at have et internationalt samarbejde, der involverer USA, Rusland og Kina og forhåbentlig Indien, og derefter andre fornuftige lande, som støtter skiftet til et nyt paradigme [herunder at forlænge Bælte- og Vejinitiativet, den Nye Silkevej, til Sydvestasien].

Hvorvidt krigshøgene sætter sig igennem, og verden snarere før end senere ender i en atomar katastrofe, eller om vi i rette tid lærer fra COVID-pandemien, at vi kun i fællesskab kan løse menneskehedens eksistentielle problemer – det burde egentlig være det strategiske spørgsmål, som vi bør være allermest optaget af. Hverken Rusland eller Kina, ikke engang de europæiske atlantikere, forventer en større forandring i udenrigspolitikken under den nye Biden-administration i forhold til under Pompeo. Udtalelser som dem fra kommandanten forUSA’s europæiske Kommando, generalen for flyvevåbenet, Tod D. Wolters, der ved et symposium den 24. februar betegnede Rusland som en ”eksistentiel trussel mod USA og de europæiske forbundsfæller”, er standard for USA’s militær, som repræsenterer kontinuiteten mellem administrationerne. Men udover det sædvanlige refræn fra Atlantikerne angående NATO, Rusland og Kina, sagde Præsident Biden også følgende på den virtuelle sikkerhedskonference i München, 2021, hvilket stort set er blevet udelukket fra de etablerede medier:

”Det handler ikke om at spille Østen ud mod Vesten. Dethandler ikke om, at vi ønsker en konflikt. Vi ønsker en fremtid, hvor alle nationer frit kan bestemme deres egen vej, uden truslen om vold eller tvang. Vi kan ikke og må ikke vende tilbage til den refleksmæssige opposition og de rigide koldkrigsblokke.”

Det lyder med sikkerhed anderledes end de krigeriske opråb for at vælte Præsident Xi Jinping, som de eksempelvis høres fra det såkaldte ”lange telegram” fra det Atlantiske Råd og andre tænketanke. Vi må vente og se hvor lang halveringstiden for Bidens udtalelse bliver, at ”alle nationer kan bestemme deres egen vej.” Lad os huske på, at Trump i lang tid talte om, at det var en god ting, og ikke en dårlig ting, at have et godt forhold til Rusland og Kina – og forholdet til begge nationer endte på et historisk lavpunkt i slutningen af hans embedsperiode. Og i mellemtiden har Biden-administrationens første militære angreb mod Syrien fundet sted, som en demonstration af at ”USA er tilbage”.  En stor bekymring for Rusland er, at Trump-administrationen nægtede at bekræfte det princip, som Reagan og Gorbatjov i 1985 blev enige om, at en atomkrig aldrig kan vindes og derfor aldrig må få lov at finde sted. Den russiske udenrigsminister, Lavrov, betonede derfor i sin tale til den virtuelle nedrustningskonference i Moskva den 24. februar, at han overfor sin amerikanske kollega, Blinken, i en telefonsamtale den 4. februar, understregede nødvendigheden af at vende tilbage til dette princip. Lavrov betonede ligeledes den russiske position, at NATO’s praksis med ”nuclear sharing” (”atomar deltagelse”) krænker Traktaten om ikke-spredning af Kernevåben. ”Atomar deltagelse” er en NATO-praksis, hvor igennem nationer, der ikke råder over atomvåben, som for eksempel Tyskland, holder jagerfly klar og uddanner soldater til at transportere amerikanske atomvåben, og i værste fald også kunne gøre brug af disse. Derfor må de amerikanske atomvåben bringes tilbage til amerikansk territorium, og infrastrukturen til en sådan anvendelse fra andre landes territorium elimineres.

USA er det eneste land af de i alt ni atommagter – fem af dem officielt – som man kender til, der stationerer atomvåben på andre nationers territorium. Skønsmæssigt er omkring 180-200 atombomber stationeret i Europa. Kun de mest hårdkogte atlantiske geopolitikere kan nære illusionen om, at disse atomvåben forøger vores sikkerhed; i værste fald betyder det modsat, at de lande, hvori de er opstillet, bliver til et ruinlandskab. Hvad fredsbevægelserne i begyndelsen af 80’erne stadig vidste, og som fik folk, på baggrund af mellemdistancemissilkrisen da Pershing II- og SS20-missilsystemerne, blot med et par minutters varslingstid, blev holdt i permanent beredskab overfor hinanden, til at demonstrere på gaderne, synes tydeligvis i dag at være forsvundet fra bevidstheden. I værste fald ville ikke en eneste person i Tyskland overleve. Dette forandres heller ikke af prioriteringen af Indo-Stillehavsområdet, som har fundet sted siden Obamas ”Pivot to Asia”, og som også blev videreudviklet af USA’s militær under Trump-administrationen i flere strategipapirer. ”USA’s Nationale Sikkerhedsstrategi” fra december, 2017, den ”Nationale Forsvarsstrategi” fra januar 2018 og ”Verificering af den atomare Opstilling” fra februar 2018, definerer Rusland og Kina som geopolitiske rivaler, der klassificeres som trusler mod USA’s interesser og magt. Rusland og Kina klassificeres der som farligere end den internationale terrorisme.

Lyle J. Goldstein, professor ved USA’s Naval College i Newport/Rhode Island og grundlægger af China Maritime China Studies Institute på samme sted, skrev for nylig i en artikel med overskriften: ”Strategien for Indo-Stillehavsområdet er en recept på en katastrofe” (1), at denne politik er en ny udgave af USA’s politik fra 1992. Det var den tid, hvor Dick Cheney og de neokonservative – blot ét år efter afslutningen af Sovjetunionen – forfulgte ”Projektet for et nyt amerikansk Århundrede”, og dermed idéen om at det under ingen omstændigheder kunne tillades, at en nation eller en gruppe af nationer kunne overhale USA, hverken økonomisk, politisk eller militært. Goldstein peger på, at Trump-administrationens  forsvarsministerium, inden de forlod Pentagon, offentliggjorde ”US Strategic Framework for the Indo-Pacific” (De strategiske rammer for USA i Indo-Stillehavsområdet”), frem for at bevare disse dokumenter under lås og slå i 30 år, som ville være almindeligt. Goldstein formoder, at der bag dette gemmer sig en intention om at fastlægge Biden-administrationens retning, hvilket ville bringe USA på direkte konfrontationskurs med Kina, i sammenhæng med Taiwan – en krig som USA også kunne tabe, og hvor brugen af atomvåben ikke kan udelukkes.

Hans Kristensen fra Federation of American Scientists (Sammenslutningen af amerikanske Videnskabsmænd) pegede ligeså på, at det præcist er denne dynamik af kompromisløs afskrækkelse, som opildner det atomare oprustningskapløb. Således har nyere satellitbilleder vist, at Kinas Folkehær, PLA, er i gang med kraftigt at udbygge træningsanlæg til deres missilstyrker. De viste også opbygningen af tunneler og siloer i forskellige størrelser, med den potentielle funktion at kunne skjule raketaffyringer, fordi Kina, pga. den militære konkurrence med USA i regionen, ikke længere kan være sikker på, om det i en reel situation ville have nok tid til at klargøre raketterne, for at kunne opretholde troværdigheden af den kinesiske afskrækkelse.

Hvis Præsident Biden virkelig mener det seriøst, at hver nation – altså også Kina og Rusland – selv kan bestemme deres egen vej, så må han forkaste Cheney-doktrinen, som ligger til grund for Indo-Stillehavspolitikken og satse på en virkelig ny begyndelse. Den kinesiske udenrigsminister, Wang Yi, nævnte betingelserne for dette, i sin tale ved Lanting Forum om ”Dialog og Samarbejde og Konflikthåndtering”: Løgnene om Det kinesiske Kommunistparti og det kinesiske politiske system må få en ende, såvel som indblanding ift. Taiwan, Xinjiang og Hongkong; sanktionerne må løftes og en normal diplomatisk og kulturel udveksling må igen blive mulig.

Da det ikke kan udelukkes, at intentionen med USA’s fornyede tiltrædelse i FN’s Menneskerettighedskommission (UNHRC) består i at instrumentere debatten om menneskerettigheder for propagandistiske angreb på Rusland og Kina, bør man kort overveje hvad en rigtig definition af dette begreb er. Hvilken stat eller hvilket kontinent har gjort mere for menneskerettighederne – den, som har befriet 850 millioner mennesker fra fattigdom, og som gennem en disciplineret sygdomsbekæmpelse har kunnet begrænse antallet af dødsfald fra corona til 4636 (Kina), eller den, hvor fattigdommen stiger markant og hvor antallet af corona-relaterede dødsfald er steget til over en halv million (USA) eller over 839.000 (Europa)? Er retten til ikke at ville bære maske og ikke at holde social afstand virkelig et sådant bevis på forsvaret af menneskerettigheder? Imens USA, Canada og Storbritannien hamstrede vacciner i et mange gange større antal end deres borgere, og EU diskuterer et eksportstop, har Rusland og Kina allerede afleveret millioner af doser til dusinvis af lande i udviklingssektoren. For dette bliver de så beskyldt for at føre ”vaccine-diplomati”, imens deltagelsen af EU-Frontex i de såkaldte ”Pushback”-operationer mod flygtninge i Middelhavet tilsyneladende ikke fortjener en offentlig debat.

Det er på tide at opgive denne form for tvetydige målestok og hykleri. Vi må stoppe med det geopolitiske spil, der betragter Rusland og Kina som modstandere, og i stedet for dette tage fat på menneskehedens opgaver i fællesskab. I februar 2021, var det muligt for tre nationer at fuldføre deres Mars-missioner. Chefen for De forende arabiske Emiraters rumfartsagentur, Sarah al-Amiri (2), huskede verden på hvor ubegribeligt stort vores univers er. Statsoverhovederne i denne verden burde tage denne lære fra Fru Amiri til sig.

27. februar (EIRNS) – Den amerikanske bombning af en efter sigende iransk støttet millits-stilling i Syrien torsdag aften, hvor man hævdede, at det var et defensivt angreb for at beskytte amerikanske styrker i Irak, er blevet fordømt af en lang række politiske og professionelle kilder i mange lande som en alvorlig overtrædelse af folkeretten og den amerikanske forfatning. Kongresmedlemmer fra begge partier har afvist det dødbringende angreb for overtrædelse af såvel den amerikanske forfatning, som kræver kongresgodkendelse for krigshandlinger undtagen når nationen er under direkte angreb, som FN-pagten.

Spørgsmålet der trænger sig på: Vil Biden regeringen lede USA tilbage til sporet med "regimeskifte-krige?" Præsident Donald Trump var ude af stand til at gennemføre sin hensigt om at afslutte de "endeløse krige", der blev søsat af Bush og Obama, eftersom det militærindustrielle kompleks (som Trump direkte beskyldte for at kræve nye krige på vegne af våbenproducenterne) tilbagekaldte hans ordrer om at trække sig ud af Irak og Afghanistan. Trump havde succes med ikke at tillade nye krige, men nu har præsident Biden Antony Blinken som sin udenrigsminister. Det var Blinken, der som Obamas vice-nationale sikkerhedsrådgiver og viceudenrigsminister, førte kampagnen for at gennemføre et regimeskifte mod den syriske præsident Bashar Al-Assad og fejlagtigt beskyldte Assad for at bruge kemiske våben mod sin egen befolkning, en løgn frembragt af britisk efterretningstjeneste. Var angrebet i Syrien torsdag aften en prøveballon for krigspartiet i forhold til at gå tilbage til at tjene som den militære snigmorder for britiske kolonikrige?

Der er samtidig bestræbelser fra verdens ledere for at overbevise Biden-administrationen om at afværge den voksende fare for krig mod Iran, en krig, der helt sikkert vil optrappe potentialet for en generel krig med Rusland og Kina. Demokraterne under Obama forhandlede den oprindelige JCPOA-aftale med Iran, en aftale, som selv førende israelske militær- og efterretningsembedsmænd mener var yderst gavnlig for at forhindre atomar spredning (på trods af Bibi Netanyahus gale rablen imod den). Men bombning af Iran-støttede styrker, der direkte samarbejder med den irakiske regering om at bekæmpe resterne af terrorist-ISIS-netværk, kan underminere enhver ny samtale med Teheran – hvilket måske er, hvad krigspartiet havde til hensigt med dette luftangreb i Syrien…

Vi fortsætter her med et uddrag fra lederen den 28. februar: Som et 'casestudie' af spændingen mellem udviklings-destruerende geopolitik og det nye paradigme for økonomisk vækst, betragt tilfældet Irak.

I et kommende interview udført søndag satte Schiller Instituttets koordinator for Sydvestasien, Hussein Askary, Biden-bombningen den 25. februar i sammenhæng med Bælte- og Vejinitiativets potentiale for at omforme Sydvestasien, såvel som hans egen indsats for at skabe en folkebevægelse, der er i stand til at forstå og kræve den økonomiske politik, der kan give dem en lys fremtid. I 2019 besøgte den irakiske premierminister, Adel Abdel-Mahdi, Kina med en stor delegation, og udarbejdede aftaler, hvorved en lille del af Iraks olieeksport kunne bruges til at sikre kredit fra Kina til produktive investeringer i projekter som havne og anden større infrastruktur, der så desperat behøves for at skabe en fuld, voksende økonomi. Men udbruddet af en "farverevolution" i Irak efter Abdel-Mahdis tilbagevenden, og mordet på den iranske general Qassem Soleimani i januar 2020 samt den irakiske militærleder Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, bragte en ny regering ind og satte midlertidigt en stopper for muligheden for en aftale mellem Irak og Kina.

Men Askary har lagt grundlaget for en folkelig mobilisering. I november 2019 søsatte han den arabiske 'LaRouche School of Physical Economics'. Han hjalp en irakisk Facebook-gruppe for infrastruktur til at vokse fra 30.000 til 280.000 medlemmer, før den blev slettet af Facebook i november 2020. Han er fortsat med at organisere sig gennem adskillige online-communities, regeringskontakter og gennem de irakiske medier, og har bidraget til at katalysere populære demonstrationer til støtte for Irak-Kina aftalen. "Vil irakiske unge være militsfolk eller ingeniører?" spørger Askary udfordrende.

Udviklingen af en veluddannet og aktiv borgerbevægelse er i dén grad nødvendig i USA (og alle andre nationer), hvor de nuværende ledelsesstrukturer ikke har de nødvendige svar.

To måneder efter indsættelsen af Joe Biden som præsident for USA står verden over for en lang række kriser: USA er på vej mod en geopolitisk konfrontation mod Kina og Rusland; bestræbelserne på at begrænse Kinas fremgang ved at forsøge at skabe en alliance i Indo-Stillehavsområdet eller endog en global NATO-alliance besvares med dannelsen af en militær alliance mellem Kina og Rusland. Det finansielle oligarki, centreret i City of London, Wall Street og Silicon Valley, forsøger at udskyde det uundgåelige sammenbrud af det transatlantiske finanssystem ved at pumpe et sted mellem 30 og 50 billioner dollar ind i 'Green New Deals' "Great Reset", den store grønne nulstilling, hvilket ville indebære enden på de industrialiserede lande og, hvis det gennemføres "med succes", føre til en gigantisk befolkningsreduktion over hele verden.

WFP (Verdens Fødevareprogram) advarer om, at der alene i år er risiko for, at 270 millioner mennesker vil sulte ihjel i en situation med alvorlig underudvikling, der forværres af corona-pandemien og nedlukninger, som allerede har ødelagt 500 millioner job. Den mest dramatiske humanitære krise siden Anden Verdenskrig udspiller sig lige nu i Yemen, hvor 20 millioner mennesker er i akut fare for at sulte. Det faktum, at en situation der let kunne afhjælpes, hvis den politiske vilje var til stede, ikke behandles, betyder at dette er folkedrab. I Syrien sulter en tredjedel af befolkningen og er ofre for en stedfortræderkrig, som tilsyneladende udspiller sig mellem Israel og Iran, men i virkeligheden er arnestedet for en potentiel tredje verdenskrig mellem det moderne britiske imperium, Storbritannien og USA på den ene side, og Rusland og Kina på den anden.

Der er tale om en konkurrence mellem systemer: Alt imens ikke bare Kina, men mange asiatiske nationer har genoplivet deres gamle civilisationer og kombineret dem med et yderst optimistisk perspektiv for fremtiden baseret på innovation inden for videnskab og teknologi, er det såkaldte "Vesten" faldet tilbage til en mørk tidsalder ved udøvelse af den mest degenererede kulturelle praksis, en politik med at "alt går an", som får afslutningen af Romerriget til at blegne i sammenligning. Derfor er den eneste måde, hvorpå den menneskelige art har noget håb om at undslippe denne eksistentielle krise, omhyggeligt at indlede en renæssance af klassisk kultur og en dialog mellem de mest ophøjede kulturelle traditioner i den universelle historie.

Schiller Instituttet samler ledende talsmænd fra Rusland, Kina, Afrika, Europa og Amerika til en dialog om at imødegå denne eksistentielle krise for menneskeheden med ideen om ”fred gennem udvikling”, præsenteret af Lyndon LaRouche igennem de seneste halvtreds år; ved at se frem til de næste halvtreds år for at skabe den nødvendige revolution i menneskelige anliggender til både sammen at imødegå disse kriser som én menneskelig art, og at frigøre menneskehedens kreative potentiale til at skabe en verden, der fortjener menneskets værdighed.

25. februar 2021 (EIRNS) — Vil præsident Biden følge i fodsporene af Mike Pompeo, præsident Trumps ubehageligt aggressive udenrigsminister, i de amerikanske forbindelser med Rusland og Kina? Det er spørgsmålet, som Vladimir Putin og Xi Jinpings regeringer stiller nu, en måneds tid inde i den nye administration i Washington. Planetens fremtid, hvad krig og fred angår, balancerer på en knivsæg.

Svaret ligger ikke hos enkeltpersoner eller i offentlige udtalelser – der har været mange og ofte modstridende udsagn i de seneste uger – men i dynamikken af den underliggende march imod krig, der drives af det bankerotte, transatlantiske finanssystem. Helga Zepp-LaRouche behandlede dette spørgsmål fra starten af i sin ugentlige webcast den 24. februar. Efter at have noteret, at Biden for nylig erklærede – både i hans taler ved G7 og under sikkerhedskonferencen i München – at han ikke ønsker konfrontation mellem Øst og Vest eller en ny kold krig, bemærkede Zepp-LaRouche:

”Så selvom jeg ikke ønsker at overdrive dette som sådan, må det ses i den sammenhæng, at forholdet mellem USA og Kina er det vigtigste strategiske forhold for menneskehedens fremtid. Af den enkle grund at dette er de to største økonomier, at Kina er involveret med Rusland i en strategisk alliance, og at det derfor er altafgørende ikke at have en konfrontation, og ikke fortsætte derfra hvor det stod i slutningen af Trump-administrationen, der var fuldstændig styret af 'Kina-baskere' som Pompeo, Navarro og deres slags”.

Zepp-LaRouche bemærkede, at Biden har en ny administration, ”så vi må se. Jeg foretager ikke på nuværende tidspunkt en vurdering af hans politik i forhold til Rusland og Kina”. Hun understregede også, at da præsident Trump først trådte til, “i begyndelsen, i valgkampen 2016 og i hele den tidlige del af Trumps administration, sagde han mange gange, at det at have et godt forhold til Rusland og Kina er en god ting og ikke en dårlig ting. Men derefter så man, hvordan Trump mere og mere kapitulerede under det strategiske pres fra neokonservative og fra det militærindustrielle kompleks, især i forhold til Kina. I april sidste år begyndte han at bebrejde Kina for COVID og alle mulige andre ting. Så ved afslutningen af Trump-administrationen var forholdet med Rusland og Kina desværre på et historisk lavpunkt”.

Under udøvelse af et sådant pres over for både republikanere og demokrater i Washington af lejemorderne i det bankerotte internationale finanssystem, har både Beijing og Moskva altid været særligt opmærksomme på den klare, utvetydige stemme fra Lyndon LaRouche i USA, om at definere et nyt grundlag for USA's forbindelser med Kina og Rusland. For eksempel bragte 'China Youth Daily', den næstmest læste avis i Kina, som når et publikum på omkring 10 millioner mennesker, en hovedartikel i sin udgave den 24. juli 2009, baseret på et interview som man gennemførte med Lyndon LaRouche. Under titlen, "Det nuværende internationale finansielle system kan ikke reddes", rapporterede artiklen:

”LaRouche foreslår, at USA sætter det nuværende finansielle system under konkursbehandling og vender tilbage til det system, der blev oprettet af Alexander Hamilton, og gennem oprettelsen af en nationalbank begynder at udstede kreditter for at genoplive den amerikanske industri. På internationalt plan kan dette princip derefter udvides til verdensøkonomien ved hjælp af traktataftaler mellem suveræne nationer. Etablering af et internationalt system med faste valutakurser mellem valutaer vil bestemme prisen på råvarer, og traktataftalen vil give den nødvendige kredit”, fortsatte artiklen.

“LaRouche mener, at hvis USA, Kina, Rusland og Indien, som suveræne nationer, der omfatter verdens største landområde og indeholder den største befolkning i verden, kunne finde sammen om en aftale om finansielle ordninger, ville dette straks give grundlaget for et nyt globalt finanssystem. LaRouche mener, at Asiens udvikling i fremtiden vil tage føringen i udviklingen af menneskeheden, og at Kina er nøglen til det eurasiske kontinent”.

I dag, 12 år efter disse bemærkninger, er det Helga Zepp-LaRouche og LaRouche-organisationen der agiterer for denne politik af LaRouche.

21. februar (EIRNS) – For tiden, under så dramatiske, historiske begivenheder i gang som det andet år af en pandemi med en virus der muterer; og i Nordamerika, med omfattende skader fra energisystemer, som på forhånd var mangelfulde, fortæller fornuften os, at vi burde samarbejde som bare fanden, hjemme og i udlandet, for at rette tingene op. Se på hvad vi gør på Mars! De nødvendige tiltag er blevet formuleret i årtier i form af en udviklingspolitik af økonomen og statsmanden Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., der sammen med sin hustru, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, også viste vejen vej for de diplomatiske initiativer, som kan gøre udviklingen til en realitet. Tiden er inde nu.

Modstanden mod dette udsyn fra de fallerede politisk-finansielle netværk centreret i City of London/Wall Street presser rasende på med mere og hurtigere afindustrialisering, der i første omgang har forårsaget flere kriser. Der slås nu på tromme for det internationale topmøde på 'Jordens Dag', den 22. april, til bekæmpelse af klimaforandringer, hvor Det Hvide Hus er vært. Både præsident Joe Biden og John Kerry, 'Særlig udsending for Klimaet' (National Security Council Special Presidential Envoy for Climate), gentog dette den 18. februar, på dagen hvor USA officielt genindtrådte i Paris-klimaaftalerne. De understreger, at Biden fra nu af og indtil topmødet den 22. april vil udstede de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at opnå større amerikansk reduktion af CO2 inden udgangen af ​​dette årti. En sådan politik vil faktisk indebære ni år med flere blackouts, madmangel, oversvømmelser, brande og et hurtigt fald i forventet levealder. Kerry understregede i fredags, hvor han talte med FN’s generaldirektør Antonio Guterres, at det haster med at handle på CO2-reduktion: "Det der betyder noget er, hvad folk vil gøre i de næste 10 år".

Naturligvis tilslutter de folkemorderiske milliardærer sig. Sir Michael-'anti-kul' Bloomberg var på et konferencekald med journalister den 18. februar for at understrege, at flere kulkraftværker må nedlægges – netop på et tidspunkt, hvor det er elproduktion fra kul- og kernekraftværker, der har afholdt de centrale stater fra at gå fuldstændig i sort. Bill Gates, manden hvis speciale det er at opretholde mangler inden for sundhed, uddannelse og landbrug vha. "filantropi", har ligeledes understreget denne 10-årige tidsramme. Han sagde i et interview i dagens Washington Post Magazine, at "vi skal have gennembrud i det næste årti", så vi kan bruge de følgende to årtier til 2050 "til at erstatte hele den industrielle økonomi". Hvad angår det videnskabelige spørgsmål, der er involveret i den tilsyneladende modsætning mellem kølige storme og global opvarmning, hævdede Gates standardbedrageriet i morges på Fox News, at "det sandsynligvis vil påvirke vejret at udlede yderligere kulstof i atmosfæren". Det er der "superhårde beviser for".

Den nye rapport, der er udkommet i denne måned, piller disse onde klaphatte fra hinanden – EIR’s specialrapport: “Det store spring bagud: LaRouche afslører the 'New Green Deal". Helga Zepp-LaRouche skriver i sin indledning: ”The New Deal for menneskeheden er ikke 'grøn', men menneskelig!", Et afsluttende afsnit har undertitlen: "Vælg i stedet holdbar menneskelig overlevelse". Hun opfordrer til handling og siger:" Selvom mange institutioner synes at have lagt sig fast på den kurs, der er skitseret her [grøn økonomisk katastrofe, geopolitik og krigsfare], er det ikke for sent at vælge alternativet. COVID-19-pandemien har vist, hvor ekstremt sårbare vi i virkeligheden er som menneskelig art, og at vi realistisk set kun har en chance for at sikre vores langsigtede overlevelse ved at finde sammen i et nyt paradigme for samarbejde mellem alle nationer i denne verden for at vie os til menneskehedens reelle fælles opgaver.

"Nøglen til at overvinde krisen ligger i et menneskesyn, der ikke ser menneskeheden som en parasit på naturen, hvis aktiviteter forurener og ødelægger stakkels Moder Jord, så det ville være godt at reducere antallet af mennesker så meget som muligt (bare ikke så meget som til at efterlade oligarkiet uden tilstrækkeligt tjenestefolk!). Mennesket er simpelthen ikke et manipulerbart væsen, der kan holdes under kontrol med den moderne form for 'brød og cirkus' og degradering fra underholdningsindustrien.

"Menneskeheden er den eneste art, hvis kreative fornuft er i overensstemmelse med universets love, og er endog en udviklet, integreret del deraf. Det er netop denne evne, der gør det muligt for menneskeheden igen og igen at opdage nye revolutionerende hypoteser om universets fysiske love, som derefter bruges i produktionsprocessen til at definere helt nye platforme for den menneskelige levestandard, forventet levetid, forståelse af de klimaforandringer, der har fundet sted i millioner af år, og yderligere perspektiv for at skabe forudsætningerne for fremtidig interstellar rumflyvning gennem koloniseringen af det nære rum".

For menneskehedens overlevelse, gør god brug af den nye rapport, og nyd de smukke billeder, der nu stråler til Jorden fra Mars takket være Percy. 

18. februar 2021 (EIRNS) — NASA’s Mars-rover, Perseverance, programsat til at ankomme til Mars i eftermiddags, bragede ned gennem atmosfæren og landede kl. 15.55, EST, nøjagtigt efter planen. Det var femte gang, NASA med succes landede et rumfartøj på Mars. For første gang var amerikanske og europæiske rumfartøjer, der allerede var i omløb om Mars, målrettede og i nogle tilfælde omplaceret for at fotografere og filme fartøjets indrejse, nedstigning og landing. Perseverance var i sig selv for første gang udstyret til at optage lydene [produceret af det danske firma DPA-mikrofoner] og nogle billeder af dets indrejse, nedstigning og landing (Entry Descnet Landing). Det blev beskrevet som 'første gang vi har ører på en anden planet'. Inden for få minutter efter landingen havde Perseverance selv sendt billeder af sine omgivelser tilbage. Missionschefer forventer at modtage flere billeder i løbet af den kommende dag eller deromkring.

Under en briefing efter landingen rapporterede EDL-projektleder Al Chen med glæde, at Perseverance havde fundet en god "parkeringsplads" i Jezero-krateret, godt inden for dets målområde, og var landet med meget lille hældning (1,2 grader). 'Surface-teamet', der vil fungere indenfor en Mars-tidsramme synkront med deres marsbil er allerede på arbejde og tjekker marsbilens status, hvor dens elektriske systemer så godt ud lige efter landing. Marsbilen vil blive "pakket ud" – forskellige arme og instrumenter åbnes – i løbet af de næste par dage, og holdet begynder derefter at finde ud af, hvorhen den vil rejse og på hvilken rute, hvordan den undgår sandkrusninger og undersøger forskelle i terræn, når den kører ud for at finde et godt sted for en heliport til at teste 'Ingenuity', det første flyvende fartøj, der nogensinde er indsat på Mars.

Perseverance, kendt som “Percy” af hendes udviklere og beundrere, er et stort fremskridt i forhold til sin soldrevne forgænger på størrelse med en golfvogn. Percy vejer et ton og er på størrelse med en bil, og den er atomdrevet. (Holdet beskrev, hvordan der ikke længere er grund til at bekymre sig om, at der kommer sand på solpanelet.) Der er masser af pålidelig strøm til den toårige mission. Den understøtter avanceret udstyr, specielt designet til at søge efter liv på Mars.

Jezero-krateret er stedet for en gammel sø. Det blev udvalgt på grund af sin unikke status på Mars – efter tydeligt at have kanaler til ind- og udgang af vandet. Nær indgangen er en meget rig "delta"-region, der anses for at være ideel til at finde Mars-mikroorganismer. Medlem af videnskabsteamet Matt Wallace beskrev stedets geologiske rigdom, og sagde at de har "år med videnskabelige undersøgelser" foran sig.

Et af de mest spændende træk ved denne mission er dens indsamlingssystem til at indsamle og opbevare overfladeprøver, der skal udvindes og returneres til Jorden i forbindelse med den første "tur-retur" Mars-mission, som må følge efter. Rørene, der bruges til at indsamle prøver, har været gennem en meget streng desinficeringsproces for at sikre, at alle fundne mikroorganismer rent faktisk ville stamme fra Mars.

Præsident Biden ringede for at lykønske holdet, og sagde at han ville lykønske dem personligt.

18. februar (EIRNS) — Det amerikanske Mars-landingsfartøj, Perseverance, landede med succes på Mars i dag kl. 15:56. EST, alt imens Mars-rumfartøjerne fra Kina og De forenede arabiske Emirater, der ankom blot få dage forinden, kredsede om planeten. Det er vanskeligt at forestille sig et bedre billede af en forenet menneskehed, der har påbegyndt en fælles mission, der udgør essensen af menneskets rolle i universet: 'Håb', 'Himmelske Spørgsmål' og 'Udholdenhed' (Hope, Tianwen-1 og Perseverance, navnene på de respektive rumprogrammer, red.)

I sit ugentlige webcast i går talte grundlægger af Schiller Instituttet, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, om denne mission: ”Dette er fremtiden, hvis mennesket skal leve som en udødelig art – hvilket var en forestilling, som min afdøde mand skabte – fordi vi er forskellige fra andre arter, fordi vi har kreativ fornuft. Vi kan løse ethvert problem gennem videnskabelige og teknologiske gennembrud ved at opdage nye love i universet. Og da det menneskelige sind er det mest avancerede element af dette univers, er der al grund til optimisme, at når vi først afstemmer vores egen eksistens og vores egen praksis med universets love, er vores chancer for at blive den udødelige art absolut tilstede. Men det kræver rumfart som en forudsætning, og jeg tror, at denne idé om nationer, der arbejder sammen for at opdage universets smukke hemmeligheder, giver en forsmag på, hvordan menneskehedens fremtid kan se ud, når vi beslutter at blive voksne”.

I tankerne kan man modstille det billede af mennesket som en kreativ, rumfarende art med det billede, der har ført til det nuværende bratte fald i potentiel relative befolkningstæthed bredt over den transatlantiske region, med alle deraf følgende konsekvenser: en planetarisk pandemi; evindelige krige og risikoen for atomkrig; massearbejdsløshed og desperate bølger af migration og nu et dramatisk fald i den gennemsnitlige forventede levealder i selve USA. Ifølge en ny undersøgelse fra CDC faldt den gennemsnitlige forventede levealder alene i de første seks måneder af 2020 med et helt år: fra 78,8 i 2019 til 77,8 i løbet juni 2020. Det er det største enkeltfald siden Anden Verdenskrig, og det afspejler både den direkte og indirekte virkning af COVID-19-pandemien i USA og internationalt.

Pointen er ligetil: Det er den fysiske økonomi, fjols!

Og essensen af den menneskelige fysiske økonomi er ubegrænsede gennembrud inden for grundlæggende videnskab og klassisk kultur, af den slags indvarslet af menneskets mission til Mars. Som Helga Zepp-LaRouche udtrykte det i sit seneste webcast: ”På dette tidspunkt kommer den eneste fornuftens stemme virkelig fra LaRouche-organisationen og den politik, som min afdøde mand fremmede. Men der behøves en bred mobilisering blandt befolkningen for at ændre denne udvikling".

I sin ugentlige dialog advarede Helga Zepp-LaRouche om, at de totalt unødvendige dødsfald og lidelser i Texas og andre amerikanske delstater på grund af en polarkoldfront giver et tegn på hvad der vil ske, hvis den ”store nulstilling” og dens grønne New Deal ikke stoppes. Disse dødsfald er ikke resultatet af en "naturkatastrofe", men en advarsel om hvad for en fremtid vi står overfor, hvis nedlæggelsen af​​ kul- og atomkraftbaseret elektricitetsproduktion ikke tilbagerulles. Den nye EIR-rapport, ”The Great Leap Backwards” ("Det store spring bagud"), giver både en analyse af de tydelige farer ved at vedtage en grøn dagsorden, og et alternativ baseret på hendes afdøde mands, Lyndon LaRouches, videnskabelige idéer.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche diskuterede også, hvordan kampagnen for konfrontation med Rusland og Kina udsætter menneskeheden for truslen om atomkrig på et tidspunkt, hvor samarbejde ikke kun er bydende nødvendigt, men også opnåeligt. Hvis NATO insisterer på sanktioner mod Rusland over den meget opblæste Navalny-affære, burde nationer som Tyskland, Frankrig og Italien forlade NATO. Tilsvarende viser EU’s manglende evne til at beskytte sine borgere mod COVID-pandemien ved igen at forkludre leveringen af ​​vacciner, at denne form for overnational institution ikke er i stand til at sørge for borgernes behov – en fiasko, der også ses i de sandsynlige ødelæggende virkninger af dets kampagne for en europæisk Grøn New Deal, hvilket kunne føre til en nedbrydning af det europæiske energinet.

Hun stillede de økonomiske og strategiske tragedier, der udvikler sig i de transatlantiske nationer, i modsætning til det optimistiske potentiale i de tre samtidige rummissioner til Mars. Det faktum, at De forenede arabiske Emirater startede sit rumprogram for kun seks år siden, giver håb om at, med internationalt videnskabeligt samarbejde, kan nationer bevæge sig hen imod en fredelig udforskning af vores univers, med enorme fordele for alle.

Deaths from Power Outages in Texas Give a Foretaste of Things To Come with the Green New Deal

The LaRouche Organization Webcast with Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Wednesday, February 17, 2021

HARLEY SCHLANGER: Hello, I’m Harley Schlanger with our weekly dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder and chairwoman of the Schiller Institute. It’s February 17, 2021, and Helga, we have an extremely dramatic development, which seems ironically to coincide with the release of our Special Report, and that is the cold front that has hit Texas, leaving between 3 and 4 million people freezing in the dark. This is really quite dramatic, isn’t it?

HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes, it is actually very horrible, because already 26 people died. Now, this is incredible, and you have the state of Texas, where the wind turbines froze up, the solar panels were covered with snow, so the energy production went down from an average of 25,000 MW to only 12,000 MW, and naturally you have blackouts, not only in Texas, but now there are rolling blackouts in 14 other states in the United States.

Now, this is absolutely unnecessary, and it’s not a natural catastrophe. People should not look at it this way, because if you had normal coal-generated energy and nuclear energy, you would not have this situation, so people should not say this is a “natural” catastrophe. Because I would rather say, if we want to have a good note about it, we should take it was a warning from St. Peter, a warning sign what could happen with the weather if you don’t have the energy required to deal with it.

Since we have this new report out, “The Great Leap Backward—LaRouche Exposes the Green New Deal,” and the Great Reset, there we have warnings in it, that this will lead to blackouts and the blackouts could be even more dramatic. We have the case of the EU, where studies were made by the scientific advisory service to the German Parliament, already nine years ago, that you could have a collapse of the entire European energy grid, and that would have much more devastating consequences that even this. But this is bad enough. I think 4 million people in Texas, in the U.S., and 5 million people in the north of Mexico are without electricity. Now, that means people can die in the cold, they can die of the effects of it in various ways, and I think it’s quite important that the former governor of Texas, Rick Perry, who was also the Energy Secretary in the Trump administration, blasted this in a very powerful way, saying that if you cut out coal, if you cut out nuclear energy, then you are completely dependent on an ideologically based energy policy, and people are dying! And that is what would happen if you have an energy policy defined by such people as AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and the like.

So, this is a very serious warning, and I can only advise people to get the Special Report EIR has put out, because the consequences of what the Great Reset would do, the Texas developments give you a meager foretaste of the kind of economic collapse which would result as a consequence of the implementation of this policy. And this could lead to very dramatic developments, social chaos; it would have a devastating effect on the strategic situation, because some parts of the world are not so stupid—Japan, for example, when they had a snowstorm, I think it was last December, the Energy Minister immediately said that Japan must turn back on all of its nuclear plants; and obviously, Russia, China, India, they are all massively investing in the production of fission energy, of the third generation fission energy, and naturally, very much emphasis on fusion power [research]. But the idea that the world can live without coal plants, modern coal plants which are absolutely environmentally friendly, I think this is really an illusion and must be corrected immediately.

SCHLANGER: One of the things I found most interesting, is that Rick Perry, in his discussion also mentioned the advances of nuclear fusion, so that’s a very good sign that there are at least some people thinking.

But Helga we have another problem that this comes up against, which is the absolute dysfunction of the political parties in the United States, with a feud going on in the Republican Party which broke out this week; with the Democrats somewhat chaotic and stuck with nothing but the Green New Deal. How does this look to you?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: It looks very worrisome, because also the fact that Kamala Harris is now conducting foreign policy with President Biden resting in Camp David. This has caused the raising of quite some eyebrows, because normally a Vice President participates maybe, in overseas phone calls, but here, Kamala Harris is conducting foreign policy all by herself. So the question is, in what condition is President Biden? Naturally, the situation in the Republican Party is one of utmost chaos.

And I think the only way how this can be addressed, is that we have to organize with The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute to really promote, absolutely, the solutions of my late husband Lyndon LaRouche, and hopefully large segments of the population will understand that a change of the paradigm is absolutely necessary. At this point, the only voice of reason is really coming from The LaRouche Organization and the policies promoted by my late husband. But it needs a broad mobilization of the population to change the course of these developments.

SCHLANGER: One of the things that The LaRouche Organization is doing is conducting a series of dialogues, such as the one from last Saturday on U.S. Russia policy. [https://laroucheorganization.nationbuilder.com/forum_worsening_u_s_russian_relations_reverse_them_with_new_paradigm_or_face_nuclear_war] It is clear that the war machine that was never removed under President Trump is now back on all gears, targetting Russia and China. Where do you see this headed?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: It is extremely dangerous. We had the Atlantic Council Paper, “The Longer Telegram,” so-called, basically referring to the “long telegram” paper by George Kennan from 1946, now referring to the need to have regime change against China, especially targetting Xi Jinping to be toppled. Now, if you put yourself in the shoes of such a government as China, and you hear that coming from the largest nuclear power, and probably still the largest economy in the world, it has consequences. It leads to a hardening of positions. And in a certain sense, this is going on against Russia, with the Navalny campaign. So I think it’s quite interesting that Prof. Lyle Goldstein, who is from the Naval War College, he made a couple of warnings, both in the radio and also in the Washington Times, basically saying that this is leading to a situation where there is practically a warlike situation between the United States and Russia, and that the people who are pushing the Navalny campaign should be aware of the fact, is it really in the interest of the West to have a very sizable nuclear power like Russia to have chaos, or is it not in the interest of the Western countries, that the nuclear weapons of Russia should be under the control of a stable, unified force—I mean, just imagine, you have a civil war in Russia and then these nuclear weapons would get into the hands of some strange, terrorist kind of forces!

I think that there is actually the need to really be aware of that, and come to the conclusion that this whole policy of sanctions against Russia is not functioning; this was, for example, just made as a statement by the head of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy [https://www.ifw-kiel.de/], Mr. Gabriel Felbermayr, who said that the whole idea of sanctions against Russia does not function, because you don’t get countries like China, or India, or other partners of Russia to cooperate, so therefore, the only forces which are hurt by the sanctions, is, in this case, emphatically Germany. So, this whole policy of geopolitical confrontation can only lead to a complete catastrophe, if it is pursued.

SCHLANGER: There’s also a very sharp warning coming from Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, about the policies of the EU, which are definitely part of this anti-Russian grouping.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes. He said that if this is stopped, if these sanctions are not stopped, that Russia is prepared to break off all relations to the EU. Now, there was a rather stupid article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, basically pooh-poohing it, saying this is just meant to cause people to now say, “Oh, we should do something now that this doesn’t happen.” But these liberals, and the FAZ is full of them, they don’t understand the connection between cause and effect, but these policies, as I said, they lead to dramatic changes.

I mean, if you put yourself in the shoes of Russia and China, what is the natural consequence of these policies coming from the U.S., from the EU, from Great Britain? Already in October 2020, at the annual Valdai conference, Putin raised the possibility—this is not the first time it was raised, but he raised it publicly at this Valdai conference—the possibility of a Russian-Chinese military alliance. And this was brought up again on Feb. 4, this year, in a meeting between Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister, and Sergey Lavrov, discussing this option. Now, Putin in some context, also said it’s not necessary, but obviously, it would be a major change in the strategic situation. What it would do is, it would protect China, if China would sort of come under the nuclear umbrella of the Russian nuclear forces, which are sizable, they’re extremely modernized; Putin had introduced these new weapons systems, the hypersonic missiles, the nuclear-powered submarines—all weapons systems which sort of make the previous plans for a global missile defense system by the U.S. and by NATO obsolete; obviously, all these countries are working high-speed in their own hypersonic missiles, so it’s a dangerous arms race.

But, it would mean, if China would come under the nuclear umbrella of Russia, it would completely change the situation for good; it would basically make a limited nuclear attack on China impossible, unless you want to have World War III all the way. It would basically allow China a greater flexibility in dealing with the problems in the South China Sea, in respect to Taiwan. It would definitely have an incredible signal effect on all the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. It would basically give them assurance that there can be a peaceful win-win cooperation.

Now, obviously, the efforts by the U.S. is to counter that, and that was going on already with the Trump administration, Pompeo and Esper, to build the Quad, that is, the Indo-Pacific alliance, trying to pull India into an alliance with the United States against Russia and China. But that is the kind of geopolitical games which really is what led to World War I and World War II, and I think it is really something we have to overcome: Because if this kind of geopolitical maneuvering is going on, the Damocles Sword of nuclear extinction hangs over the world. And people should really wake up.

The only consequence for European nations is to stop the sanctions campaign against Russia, to stop supporting Navalny, who is—it’s a typical Western intelligence-promoted operation for regime change in Russia. I think his support in Russia is very little. He has maybe a few hundreds of supporters—that looks big when they go on the street—but in reality it’s a very tiny fraction of the Russian population, and as we discussed previously, Ahurkov, one of the campaign managers of Navalny had begged the British second in command in the Moscow Embassy for money so they could do these operations. This is really something which should not happen! Regime change policy is a complete interference into the sovereignty of a country, and it is what Obama and Tony Blair were doing, the so-called “humanitarian interventions,” “spreading democracy”; democracy has gotten a very bad name as a result. And what should happen instead, is that the European nations, like Germany, France, Italy and others should leave NATO and rethink what is their security interest. I think we need to discuss a new security architecture, and that must represent the security interests of every single country on the planet, if we want to overcome the danger of nuclear war.

So, I think the consequence of this is to really leave the kind of NATO alliance, which has become obsolete in any case, after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, and right now, the idea to expand NATO as a global force, is really—it will lead to World War III if it’s not stopped.

SCHLANGER: You mentioned China possibly going into an alliance with Russia: The Chinese made a threat that they may withhold rare earth materials that are necessary for aircraft construction and other kinds of defense contracting. How serious is that threat?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Well, I think it’s being seriously looked at. I think the Chinese government has started an investigation, exactly of what the effect would be, as you say, on the military sector, on the production of fighter jets, and if this escalation increases, one could actually see that happening. That would be a sort of nuclear bomb, but it would be one of these signs of a prewar situation if it happens.

SCHLANGER: And speaking of pre-war, we’re seeing a number of developments in Southwest Asia around Yemen, also around Syria with the Israeli strikes on Syria, threats to Iran. How does this situation look from your standpoint?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: The situation in Yemen is a complete tragedy, and also I can only say the world community which allows this to happen—I mean, the Yemen population is the worst humanitarian catastrophe in years; it’s escalating; everybody knows it, nobody does anything decisive about it. Right now you have 2 million Yemeni children under the age of 5 who are in acute malnutrition; 400,000 of those are in acute severe malnutrition, which is acute danger of starvation. Now how easy would it be to tell the Saudis, “you open the ports, you allow the entrance of food aid,” and if the EU and the United States and some other countries would really put their foot down, it could be remedied, practically in a week! The fact that this is not happening, I really think that the EU policies on the question of refugees, what they have done with Frontex [EU’s border guard] backing and participating in the pushback operations against refugees, all of these policies are completely inhuman, and I think any nation in Europe that wants to have a decent policy should leave the EU! The EU and NATO, right now, are really alliances which are completely against the interests of the member states, and there is no need to have a bureaucracy in Brussels.

Look what they did in terms of getting vaccines: Ursula von der Leyen is a complete failure; this woman was a problem when she German Defense Minister. Now her record as the so-called President of EU Commission is a disaster. Why does she not resign? She should resign! And I think the European nations should leave the EU and form an alliance as republics of “fatherlands” as de Gaulle was calling for it, and you can have a multinational cooperation for the development of Africa, for the reconstruction of Southwest Asia, and you don’t need a supranational bureaucracy.

These things have to be remedied, and these policies are clearly not in the interests of the European nations. And in the case of Yemen, I really appeal to all of your viewers—that is, you—to help to change the policy in respect to this genocide which is going on before our very eyes.

SCHLANGER: Now, speaking of the EU, we have the man from the British royal yacht Britannia, who is now moving into power in Italy, Mario Draghi, former head of the European Central Bank: This is just another disaster, and he’s committing himself to the entire policy of so-called “monetary integration.” Is this going to go over in Italy?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: We have to see. Right now, you have the Lega being in the government, and they have one minister post; I think one big test case will be what happens to the Messina Bridge and also the Taranto steel plant, which Draghi basically wants to shut down, and the EU wants to shut down: This steel plant is the production facility which could actually produce the amount of steel needed for the Messina Bridge [to Sicily], which obviously would completely change the dynamic in terms of the Mezzogiorno, bringing real development to Southern Italy and Sicily. And the Lega basically wants to convince Draghi to go ahead with this bridge. Let’s see how this plays out: Draghi made his first speech in the Senate which was unfortunately, everything one could expect. He made the absurd statement saying that the more there is European integration, the more Italian, the Italians become. He also called for Schumpeter-like “creative destruction,” saying that some industries are not worth saving. So this is exactly what one could expect from somebody who has been in the ECB for many years, and demanding all kinds of “reforms” which created the problems in which Italy right now finds itself. So this does not look good.

SCHLANGER: To conclude, we want to go back to this question of Lyndon LaRouche’s solutions, and you’ve been speaking very enthusiastically about the development of the space program in the United Arab Emirates. We now have a Chinese mission on Mars, and as of tomorrow, there will be U.S. rover landing on Mars. How significant is this? This really does represent—when you talk about the Texas situation being the foretaste of the bad things that could come from the Great Reset, doesn’t this project around Mars give us a foretaste of the good things that could come out of international scientific cooperation?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Obviously. Look, for the Mars missions—I’m still most impressed by this U.A.E. operation, because this was a Mars mission which was only started, I think six years ago; so, in an incredible speed, they caught up, at least with Japanese help, but nevertheless, and they have now an spacecraft in Mars orbit. This shows you that any developing nation—after all the Gulf States only discovered oil less than 30 years ago—and turned from total desert states into, in some cases, states which are really doing quite remarkable things, in terms of for example, the Emirates have an island which they irrigated and turned into beautiful gardens and forests. And when my husband and I were in Abu Dhabi in 2002, he made a speech there on the future of oil; this was organized by the Zayed Center. And he basically said, look, forget oil as a fossil fuel, it’s too precious and should be used for chemical production, for pharmaceutical production, and use the revenue to invest in the production of water, that will green the deserts. [https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2002/eirv29n23-20020614/eirv29n23-20020614_006-the_middle_east_as_a_strategic_c-lar.pdf]

And he advised basically to go for innovation and leapfrog—and this is exactly what the Emirates have done, and other Gulf States are going in a similar direction. They are cooperating with China on the Belt and Road Initiative, and now you have this Mars mission.

Now, if you think what incredible technologies are opened up with space research and space travel, we have seen it many years ago with the Apollo Project, where it’s often cited that every cent investment brought back fourteen cents in terms of value as computers, as all kinds of spinoff products. But we are now on the verge of getting fusion power as a propulsion, which is the only way how human beings could safely get to Mars. There is discussion about studying the weather patterns, the underground water, the traces of life. And obviously, not only manned Mars missions are what is being looked at, but also a village on the Moon, a city on Mars, creating the conditions for longer term existence of man on these planets, as a stepping stone for future interstellar travel. Now, that means that the character of humanity will completely be transformed, because it’s very clear that once you undertake such endeavors, you cannot have a geopolitical war on Mars, or else you will not live, and you will not exist.

And the kind of international cooperation among astronauts which we have seen on the International Space Station (ISS), that is the model for the future cooperation among nations, like the United States, Russia, China, India, Europe—the best policy of Europe is their work on ESA, the European Space Agency, where its head, Mr. Jan Wörner, is enthusiastically speaking about the village on the Moon all the time; and ESA has just put out a request for young people to be trained as astronauts. That program should be enlarged. Europe should have a much, much larger space program, and if a small country like the Emirates can have a Mars mission, why cannot Germany have a Mars mission on its own? You know, Germany right now is in place 27, in terms of the number of people being vaccinated; the Emirates are in place 6 or 7.

So there’s something right which the Emirates are doing, and something fundamentally wrong what Germany is doing and the EU is doing. However, this is the future, and if mankind is supposed to live as an immortal species—and that was a notion which was coined by my late husband—because we are different from other species, because we have creative reason. We can solve any problem through scientific and technological breakthroughs, by discovering new laws of the universe. And since our mind is the most advanced part of that universe, there is all the reason for optimism that once we attune our own existence and our own practice with the laws of the universe, our chances to become the immortal species is absolutely there. But it does require space travel as a precondition, and I think this idea of nations working together to discover the beautiful secrets of the universe, that gives you a taste of what the future of man can look like, when we decide to become adults.

SCHLANGER: Well, Helga, it’s always good to end with a healthy dose of optimism, as you just did. For our viewers, let me remind you: You can get the new report “A Great Leap Backward—LaRouche Exposes the Green New Deal” on why we have to defeat the Great Reset and the Green New Deal, go to https://schillerinstitute.com and get an invoice for it.

And Helga, I guess that’s what we have now, so we’ll see you next week.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: And join the Schiller Institute!

16. februar (EIRNS) – Denne nyhedstjeneste har sammen med Schiller Instituttet, ledet af Helga Zepp-LaRouche, organiseret en global mobilisering for at identificere to eksistentielle trusler mod menneskeheden, som åbent bliver støttet af regeringer i den transatlantiske region – 'Green New Deal' og marchen imod atomkonfrontation med Rusland og Kina. I løbet af det sidste døgn er der givet væsentlige modsvar på disse farer fra ledende personligheder i USA, modsvar, som må massecirkuleres internationalt imellem mennesker med god vilje.

For det første, blot få dage efter frigivelsen af EIR–specialrapporten, ’The Great Leap Backward – LaRouche Exposes the Green New Deal’ (Det store spring tilbage – LaRouche afslører den ’Grønne nye Plan’), blev advarslen i rapporten om det dødbringende resultat af at være afhængig af primitive energiformer som sol og vind demonstreret i form af ødelæggelserne i Texas og andre stater som følge af en polar hvirvelvind, et fænomen, som må forventes af enhver, der overvejer livsbetingelser på længere sigt. Med frosne vindmøller og solpaneler nedgravet i sne, har mere end 4 millioner mennesker været uden strøm i frostgrader.

Den tidligere guvernør i Texas, Rick Perry, der også fungerede som præsident Trumps energiminister, kom med en førstehånds redegørelse for katastrofen i Tucker Carlsons show på Fox News mandag aften, og udtrykte sig i termer meget lig dem i EIR ’s specialrapport. ”Vi begyndte med at nedlægge kulkraftværkerne, derefter atomkraftværkerne", sagde Perry. ”Vi er nødt til at have en diversificeret energiforsyning, som er der, når der er brug for den. Det betyder fossile brændstoffer, LNG (Liquid Natural Gas, red.) kompakte atomreaktorer. Vi er nødt til at se på fusionsreaktorer – der gøres store fremskridt inden for dette område lige nu. Jeg hører ikke den nye administration, the 'Green New Deal', tale om andet end sol og vind”. Han fremskrev situation med 10 år, hvis man har en “AOC-verden” (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, demokratisk Kongresmedlem, red.) med kun sol og vind, når den næste polarstorm rammer: “Hvis der ikke er energi til opvarmning, vil man dø! Utallige liv kan gå tabt med den form for hensynsløshed, der følger med en sådan filosofi. Det er ikke videnskabeligt. Under kampagnen hørte vi hele tiden: ”Man er nødt til at holde fast ved videnskaben”. Nuvel, videnskaben fortæller os, at hvis man kun har vind og sol, vil det blive meget koldt om vinteren og forfærdeligt varmt om sommeren”.

For det andet sponsorerede Schiller Instituttet lørdag den 13. februar en rundbordssamtale: "Forværring af de amerikansk-russiske relationer – vend situationen med et nyt paradigme eller imødese atomkrig (“Worsening U.S.-Russian Relations — Reverse Them with New Paradigm, or Face Nuclear War”), med en tidligere CIA-analytiker, en tidligere amerikansk senator og lederen fra det amerikanske universitet i Moskva samt Helga Zepp-LaRouche og Harley Schlanger fra Schiller Instituttet. Advarslen fra disse eksperter om den ekstreme fare for krig, blev også for nylig italesat af professor Lyle J. Goldstein fra 'US Naval War College', en ekspert i både Rusland og Kina. I en ledende artikel i Washington Times den 3. februar omtalte Goldstein den "truende togkollision" af forholdet mellem USA og Rusland", at USA og Rusland "praktisk taget var på krigsfod". Han skrev: ”Den vestlige presse er nu fikseret på den russiske oppositionsleder Alexej Navalnys skæbne og relaterede protester”.

Denne mobilisering må optrappes overalt. Den 27. februar vil en anden rundbordssamtale i Schiller Instituttet fokusere på begge fronter af den angloamerikanske krigskampagne mod Kina og Rusland, samt det presserende behov for 'LaRouche-løsningsmodellen' – en afslutning af den britiske imperialistiske opdeling af verden i geopolitiske blokke gennem et nyt globalt finanssystem blandt suveræne stater til finansiering af udvikling af verden og derudover – fred gennem udvikling. Der findes ingen halve løsninger.

14. februar (EIRNS) – 12. februar 2021 markerede toårsdagen for Amerikas største statsmand og filosof, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr, der døde på Abraham Lincolns fødselsdag i 2019 i en alder af 96 år. LaRouche-organisationen og Schiller Instituttet, som blev grundlagt af hans hustru Helga Zepp-LaRouche, fejrede dagen med en 19-timers live stream af Lyndon LaRouches taler og foredrag; dagen blev indledt og afsluttet med den mindeværdige koncert, der blev afholdt i New York City den 8. juni i året for hans død.

Livestream'en indeholdt nogle af LaRouches mest afgørende, historieforandrende interventioner – men for dem, der kender ham og hans arv, ville det være nødvendigt med langt mere end 19 timer til at gense blot en brøkdel af de taler og lektioner han holdt, der ændrede historien. I den henseende var Lyn en ægte videnskabsmand, der altid udfordrede dagens fremherskende antagelser, inklusive sine egne, og udviklede en "højere hypotese".

For dem der begyndte at se med, uanset på hvilket tidspunkt i løbet af den daglange begivenhed, var det "næsten umuligt at løsrive sig", sagde flere af LaRouches medarbejdere, inklusive denne skribent. At tillade sig selv, gennem denne videotur, at tilbringe timer i nærværelse af et sådant sind, var en velkommen og glædelig kontrast til det forræderiske og bedrageriske skuespil, der fandt sted i USA's Senat i den anden rigsretssag mod tidligere præsident Donald Trump; retssagen er endeligt afsluttet med den forventede frifindelse, men fortsætter i pressen.

Lige så foruroligende er de nylige bemærkninger fra ’StratCom’-kommandør Adm. Charles Richard om nødvendigheden af at forberede sig på muligheden for atomkrig samt den fortsatte dæmonisering af Rusland og Kina. Den nye COVID-nødhjælpslov ville af LaRouche blive betragtet som en syg vittighed, og er blot en yderligere bekræftelse af hans 'Triple Curve'-funktion fra 1996, som blev illustreret i dagens næstsidste video.

Selv efter at have set blot et par minutter af Lyndon LaRouche, eller fra andre at have hørt om den dybtgående indflydelse han havde på deres liv, er det klart, at USA lider meget under manglen på en sådan inspirerende ledelse, som LaRouche legemliggjorde i årtier, herunder i særdeleshed gennem sine otte præsidentvalgkampagner. Og USA lider fortsat under hans uretfærdige, femårs fængselsdom som politisk fange, og det faktum, at han den dag i dag ikke er blevet renset og frifundet.

Som Helga Zepp-LaRouche beskrev sin afdøde mand i hendes introduktion til sin videoerklæring for 'LaRouche Legacy Foundation, så udviklede Lyndon LaRouche fra starten af en analyse af, på den ene side hvad der gik galt med systemet, og på den anden side den nødvendige løsning: "Jeg tror, at en af de vigtigste opfattelser var, at han i 1975 for første gang præsenterede en omfattende idé om, hvordan et sådant nyt verdensøkonomisk system skulle se ud: Den internationale Udviklingsbank – ideen om, at der skulle være en overførsel af teknologi til en værdi af 200 mia. dollar hvert år til at overvinde underudvikling gennem store projekter. Denne idé greb øjeblikkeligt om sig. I 1976 traf de ”Alliancefrie landes Bevægelse” på deres sidste konference i Colombo grundlæggende en mere eller mindre endelig beslutning om vedtagelsen af denne politik, ord for ord.

"I de følgende år arbejdede Lyn sammen med Indira Gandhi og med López Portillo om disse idéer. Jeg synes, det er en meget rig historie. Vi rejste i disse årtier til mere end fyrre lande. Vi mødtes med ledere fra praktisk taget hvert eneste land på planeten. Fra min egen erfaring kan jeg forsikre jer om, at alle disse mennesker så på Lyn med et utroligt håb om, hvad USA kunne være".

11. februar (EIRNS) – Den 12. februar er det toårsdagen for Lyndon LaRouches bortgang. Hvilken bedre måde at fejre hans ekstraordinære bidrag på så mange områder til menneskehedens fremtid end med ankomsten af Kinas Tianwen-rumfartøj til kredsløb om Mars den 10. februar, dagen efter ankomsten af UAE’s 'Hope' – som vil blive fulgt af USA's rumfartøj 'Perseverance' om mindre end en uge. Lederen af UAE's rumfartsagentur, Sarah al-Amiri, fangede den samme ånd af videnskabeligt vidunder og formål der kræves for at løse de forfærdelige kriser, som menneskeheden står over for, som Lyndon LaRouche gav udtryk for gennem hele sit liv. I en video fra 2017 sagde hun:

"I dag er vores region, Mellemøsten, fyldt med uro. Det er en region, der gennemgår nogle få af dets mørkeste timer. Og det vi gør med Emiraternes Hope-mission, er at vi sender et signal. I Mellemøsten udgør ungdomsårgangene 50 %. Dette projekt med Hope udføres af et hold på under 35 år, et hold bestående af 34 % kvinder. Gennemsnitsalderen er 27. En hel nation sætter dens lid til et ungdomshold og præsenterer regionen for en besked… for mig er videnskab den mest internationale form for samarbejde. Den er ubegrænset. Den er grænseløs. Og den drives af enkeltpersoners lidenskab til gavn for menneskelig erkendelse".

I dag tweetede Helga Zepp-LaRouche som svar til Sarah al-Amiri: "Tillykke med din fantastiske vision! Du skal blive inspiration for alle statsoverhoveder på planeten, og der vil være fred på jorden! HZL".

Også, i anledning af toårsdagen for LaRouches bortgang, udsendte 'LaRouche International Youth Movement' (LaRouches internationale Ungdomsbevægelse) en erklæring, hvori de opfordrede ethvert universitet og uddannelsescenter rundt om i verden til at tage studiet op af "den amerikanske økonom Lyndon LaRouches metode og bidrag", som et spørgsmål om presserende strategisk nødvendighed.

"Det, vi indpoder i de unges sind og hjerter gennem deres uddannelse", siger erklæringen, "vil give dem værktøjerne til at beslutte, hvad de vil gøre med deres liv, idet de påtager sig opgaven med en 'forpligtelse over for samfundet' for at forbedre universet. Med den metode, som Lyndon LaRouches ideer repræsenterer, vil ordet "engagement" ikke skræmme dem. De vil deri se realiseringen af deres idealer, i takt med at de forbedrer sig selv og derfor søger forbedring til gavn for deres medmennesker… Disse er de ideer, som Lyndon LaRouche forfægtede i livet, og vi unge har påtaget os ansvaret for at tage dem i anvendelse med endnu større styrke i dag". Erklæringen konkluderer: "Den tidligere mexicanske præsident José López Portillo sagde i 1998: "Det er nu nødvendigt, at verden lytter til Lyndon LaRouches kloge ord"; og vi tilføjer: "Det er nu nødvendigt, at han studeres ved ethvert uddannelsescenter i verden".

Lyndon LaRouche selv udtrykte den dybeste indsigt i betydningen af ethvert menneskeliv, inklusive sit eget, og dets forhold til videnskabelige menneskelige bestræbelser såsom koloniseringen af Mars. I sin klassiker fra 1983, "Der er ingen grænser for vækst", skrev LaRouche om at opbygge en jordlignende kunstig atmosfære på Mars og tilføjede:

"Kolonialisterne fra Jorden vil ikke være tilfredse med det. Man kan høre et barns stemme: 'Men far, hvor er træerne?' Vi skal forudse barnets spørgsmål. Vi må have en skov eller to på Mars, alene fordi mennesker kan lide træer".

Sådanne videnskabelige bestræbelser er menneskets karakteristiske natur:

"Så når vi arbejder med dette formål, bidrager hver enkelt af os med noget af vedvarende værdi til kulturen. Denne aktivitet er vores fornøjelse, vores kilde til de største glæder. Denne glæde er forbundet med handlingen med at bidrage til menneskeheden, at nære de guddommelige potentialer i løbet af de kommende generationer. Dette er en glædelig handling af kærlighed til menneskeheden. Uden en sådan kærlighed er viden en død ting…

"Lad os hver især dø med glæde, med et smil på læben, og tanken: 'Det har været et godt liv, og jeg vil ikke opgive så smuk en ting, så længe jeg har midlerne til at holde mig i live et minut længere'. Nogle gange er det nødvendigt at risikere døden, men kun for at andre og det gode kan leve videre efter os. Vi kan viljemæssigt overgive vore egne liv alene for livets sag, og for det gode som livet skal opnå. Af den grund skal vi dyrke en skov på Mars".

I sin ugentlige dialog i dag stillede Helga Zepp-LaRouche de spændende horisonter, der blev åbnet af tre næsten samtidige rumflyvninger med ankomst til Mars, i modsætning til det igangværende polariserende cirkus i det amerikanske senats retssag mod tidligere præsident Trump. Mars-missionerne, sagde hun, "viser, hvor menneskeheden skal hen… Vi har så meget at opdage." Hun pegede på de russiske og kinesiske forskeres vellykkede udvikling af COVID-vacciner og deres vilje til at dele dem, som et andet eksempel på den form for samarbejde, der kræves i en krisetid som denne.

Se i stedet på den utrolige situation i USA rettet imod Donald Trump og hans tilhængere. De seneste afslørninger der viser, at ledere af oprøret fra de "Stolte drenge" (Proud Boys) og "Ed-vogtere" (Oath Keepers) var forbundet til FBI, gør det klart, at angrebet på kongresbygningen den 6. januar ikke blev tilskyndet af Trump, men faktisk var en "fælde". Og mens skueprocessen fortsætter, er der en optrapning for regimeskifter mod Putin og Xi, der anføres på vegne af dem, der presser på for den store nulstilling (Great Reset). Hun opfordrede seerne til at studere den kommende EIR-specialrapport om den store nulstilling/grønne New Deal (www.larouchepub.com/eir) og til at deltage i rundbordsdiskussionen om optrapningen af konflikten mod Rusland denne lørdag kl. 19 dansk tid (www.schillerinstitute.com), som nødvendige skridt til at blive de oplyste borgere, der kræves for at skabe et nyt paradigme for samarbejde blandt suveræne stater.

We Have So Much to Discover’ About Our Universe

The LaRouche Organization Webcast with Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Wednesday, February 10, 2021 https://laroucheorganization.nationbuilder.com/20210210-zepp-larouche-webcast

HARLEY SCHLANGER: Hello, I’m Harley Schlanger. Welcome to our weekly dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche. It’s February 10, 2021.

And we’re seeing some extraordinary developments in the United States, of chaos, of the circus-type environment around the impeachment. Helga, what’s your best reading of what’s going on around this situation?

HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: It is a circus, but let me say something optimistic in the beginning: because you have three Mars missions—one is already in orbit from the U.A.E., another one today from China, and then still another one from the United States on Feb. 18. So that shows you where mankind should be going. But before we come to that, let’s look at what needs to be overcome, and one of those situations is exactly what you are referring to, the unbelievable situation in the United States. Looking at it from a distance, so to speak, I think it’s a very, very dangerous development because you have a clear effort to declare former President Trump a non-person; you have a trampling on the Constitution. Yesterday, 56 Senators voted for impeachment, which means they don’t respect the Constitution, because the Constitution says you can only impeach a sitting President or official, but not a former one. And it is clearly designed to completely confuse the population, brainwash the population.

It will increase the polarization, and the whole thing is phony, because there is now plenty of evidence that the storming of the Capitol was planned long before Jan. 6, probably immediately after the election took place, there were preparations. The FBI now has evidence that there were 200 people, whom they arrested on Jan. 6, who were involved in the preplanning: Some of these people were FBI informants, or had high-level security clearance from the FBI, such as some of the people from the Proud Boys, and also the so-called Oath Keeper head Caldwell. So, this is a sting operation if you ever have seen one, and it is clearly designed to make sure that Trump can never run for office again, so the whole thing is fraudulent.

But you have to see it in the context of other things which are going on in the United States as well: And that is, censorship. What we had seen already beginning against then-President Trump when he gave press conferences, the major TV stations intervened and said, “no, we don’t agree with the content of what he is saying,” overriding and overruling the President of the United States. Now you have a whole pattern of blogs and websites are being banned by the social media. You cannot mention certain words any more. If you say “vote fraud” you are being banned; if you say certain other things which don’t fit the official narrative, so it completely suppresses any kind of open discussion and the First Amendment. And then, you have this very worrisome effort to criminalize the Trump base: Naturally one is against violence of any kind, but when the former CIA station chief for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Director of the CIA Counter Terorism Center—a person called Robert Grenier—says one has to use the same methods one used against insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq against those domestic terrorists, because they swim in a larger environment of support in the population.

This is really incredible: This should upset any person who loves democracy, for that matter, or freedom. And I think it is creating an atmosphere of real—I think McCarthyism is a mild word for saying it—and it’s a very dangerous development. So I can only call on all people to keep free debate, keep open truth-seeking of matters, and—I think it’s a very dangerous development, that’s all I can say.

SCHLANGER: What I find interesting is that parallel to what’s being done against Trump and the Trump supporters, is the escalation for regime change in Russia against Putin, which sort of goes back to the whole issue of Russiagate as targetting both the United States and Russia. What’s the latest you have on this anti-Putin move?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Well, this Navalny story is really a concoction. First of all we should remember that Navalny was not very well-known in Russia until recently, until this so-called “poisoning” through the Russian government was supposedly happening.

As a matter of fact, if you look at his older statements, he is a rightwing person, he called some people “cockroaches” and using a language which we know from Germany from 80 years ago, so he’s not exactly a hero or a nice person. But he is being used to absolutely go for street demonstrations to finance those; there is this video which was published by RT, where one of his top campaign managers, Vladimir Ashurkov, is seen in 2012, where he talks to a member of the British embassy who in reality was an MI6 agent, where Ashurkov asks this British so-called diplomat for $10-$20 million a year, because that would enable them to organize mass demonstrations in Russia.

So this is the reality of this operation, and Maria Zakharova just said in a press conference, that it is very clear that there are powerful circles behind Navalny from the West, and some of them demonstrated in these street demonstrations, members from the embassies and consulates, from Germany, from Poland and from Sweden, which is going against any statutes and standards of the diplomatic service. So Russia expelled these individuals; then, in a reciprocal move, these countries expelled Russian diplomats. But then the thing was crowned by an unbelievably provocative event, which just took place in Brussels, in the Polish mission to the EU, with EU participation, but also U.K., U.S., and Canada, and they basically discussed with Ashurkov and also another person, Leonid Volkov, who is another person from the Navalny team. And they discussed how all these countries should respond together to the jailing of Navalny.

This is a real intelligence operation, and it is aimed to create an environment where you have internal opposition emerging against Putin, and it has the same character as we discussed last week, with the paper of the Atlantic Council targetting Xi Jinping for regime change. [https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/atlantic-council-strategy-paper-series/the-longer-telegram/]

Now, needless to say, that if from one nuclear power, and the EU, they are running regime change operations against the other two major nuclear powers, this is really very, very dangerous. And I think, it’s completely disgusting. Then also the so-called “foreign minister” of the EU Josep Borrell went to Moscow; he had discussions with Lavrov, supposedly they were very relaxed and friendly. But when Borrell went back to Brussels he gave a press conference and said that he mainly discussed Navalny and the question of human rights, so that then Lavrov said there are two stories: One is what Borrell said at the press conference in Moscow, and another was what he said when he was back in Brussels, so who is running EU foreign policy?

Lavrov also said, and this is extremely worrisome, that Germany would have opened secret files to Navalny when he was in Germany making this so-called movie about luxury mansion of Putin. In other words, the German secret services gave Navalny files which is extremely provocative. And it turns out now that this so-called luxury palace has been empty for many years; Putin has never been in it, and it is being restored to become a hotel. But it was manipulated with Photoshop methods, to look like a private mansion. So these are these methods, which are really prewar creating an enemy-image of a country, and I think it’s completely disgusting.

Even more disgusting is that the German foreign minister Heiko Maas spent €21 million, obviously, of taxpayers’ money, to finance the opposition in Belarus.

Now, I don’t know—this is all really counterproductive, and it should be denounced. It’s a kind of warmongering, and any clear-thinking citizen should really distance himself or herself from these kinds of operations.

SCHLANGER: You mentioned the Atlantic Council paper targetting Xi Jinping. There’s also the commander of StratCom, the Strategic Command for the nuclear defense of the United States, talking about the likelihood of nuclear war, and the Chinese are continuing to very strongly discuss that. At the same time, they’re holding open the possibility of a better relationship. What’s your reading on that?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: There was a very interesting article in People’s Daily, where the author makes the point that if the United States is worried about a nuclear war, then the easiest thing not to have it, is not to make a strike against Russia or China, because it is China’s policy under all circumstances, to have a no-first-nuclear-strike policy. And as you say, they again and again say now is the time to have a new definition of the relationship between the United States and China. So it is very clear that the warmongering comes not from Russia and people should not fall into this trap, because once you are in the dynamic where you keep shouting negative things, you know, you get a reaction. And the Global Times chief editor Hu Xijin, answered and said, “Well, obviously, China must increase its nuclear arsenal, and build at least 1,000 ICBMs to be credible,” but that is the kind of reaction you get. And I think the world is really confronted with so many real problems, that this kind of geopolitical warmongering is really more superfluous than anything else on this planet.

SCHLANGER: One of the problems we’ve been focussed on is the push for the Green New Deal, a global green economy, a green financial bubble, and this just continues to unfold with Biden’s initial executive orders. But there is a real reaction against it from certain countries. How is this developing over the last week?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: It is a bubble, as we discussed many times. The financial system is hopelessly bankrupt. The central banks have pumped money, trillions and trillions into the system since 2008, when you already had a systemic crisis, and it is very clear this cannot be maintained forever. So in one sense, this idea to pump another $30 trillion into the system for green investments, which will ruin the economy! If you go to these low energy flux-density levels, you cannot maintain a modern industrial power, and it really is a last-ditch effort to bail out the banks, to bail out the speculators. And it is more than cynical: One aspect is, and this is unbelievable, that the EU, otherwise famous for their pushback operation in the context of Frontex, which shows you what the mindset is of these bureaucrats; but what they have now done is they have made agreements with 31 African countries to mass produce solar and wind energy and turn it into hydrogen; ship the hydrogen then from Africa to Europe because if you go all green technology and energy in Europe, you cannot build as many wind parks (one shouldn’t call them “parks”)—offshore and onshore wind hubs and solar panels in Europe, because it would cover the entire territory with these things. So what they are planning to do, is to import 80% of their energy from these operations in Africa.

Now, obviously the African nations are poor and they are desperate for all kinds of deals, but it ruins the environment in Africa, it means no industrial development, which is what they really would need, and just shows you the absolutely cynical character of this Green policy, which one can only call an “eco-dictatorship” and in reality, “eco-fascism”: Because it does reduce the population capacity of the Earth, and therefore, one can call it an eco-fascist policy, for sure.

SCHLANGER: One thing we’re seeing in Europe, particularly in Germany, is rising prices for electricity, and also a new wave of industrial layoffs, and this is also pretty troubling.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes, the economy is collapsing. You have massive layoffs in all major industries, Thyssen, MAN, and various others, but also many small and medium industries are going bankrupt. And the energy prices increase, I think there was in January alone, in Germany, an energy price increase of 7.5% at once, and when all of these schemes are implemented, it will get worse and worse. And the idea behind it is what the Greens have discussed since a long time: To change the behavior of the population by increasing the prices such that most people cannot afford electric appliances, or warm heating, or going by train somewhere. So it is really an absolute imposition of massive austerity policy, de facto, in respect to the living standard of the population. We should really fight against it.

We will be bringing out tomorrow, Executive Intelligence Review will publish a Special Report on the Green New Deal, on the Great Reset, and I can only encourage our viewers to get this report, because this is designed to explain to people what will be the effect of such a policy and what can be done against it.

SCHLANGER: The other thing we should take up is this question of what went wrong in Europe, in particular, with the vaccines, what EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen did to make it impossible for people to get vaccinated in many European countries. But at the same time, the Russian vaccine, which everyone was scoffing at and making fun of, now is becoming almost a prize for the Russians. What can you say about this?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: It is very clear that the EU—that’s now being discussed everywhere—I mean, the EU does not care about its member states and their population. So they were falling behind very massively in ordering vaccines, and now there is a recognition that if European are going to get themselves vaccinated, they’d better buy vaccines from Russia and China. Even Alexander Dobrin from the [Bavarian Christian Social Union] CSU said that this is what should be done. And Merkel talked with Putin and also with Xi Jinping, so this is underway.

But if you look at China, they have now said that they will donate vaccines to 53 developing countries, and in addition to that, they have agreements for sale of vaccines to another 22 countries. They have developed altogether six vaccines, and I think all the slanders against China are really contradicted by what is happening in terms of deeds. So, I think there is a clear tendency to recognize that all these accusations against China are completely ill-founded.

SCHLANGER: I find it interesting: We started with the question of the Mars missions, and I know we’ll talk about in just a moment, but at the same time, we’re seeing the potential that exists in Russia and China for scientific breakthroughs that are of benefit to the whole world. And of course, in the United States as well, the vaccine program is moving ahead, although there are problems.

But let’s go back now to the question of Mars. This is really extraordinary—this is a big week. I don’t know if there’s an air traffic control system on Mars, but there’s a lot of incoming spacecraft!

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: This is really exciting, because yesterday, the orbiter Hope from the United Arab Emirates, the U.A.E., arrived in orbit of Mars, and they will make images of weather patterns on Mars for future expeditions. This is very exciting, because if you look at some of the pictures from the laboratories in the United Arab Emirates, you see all these men and women—the men dressed in their typical Arabic garb—and it’s just such a completely different image about the future of the Arab world. The last time the Arab world was in the forefront of science was in the Abbasid dynasty, around the time of Haroun al-Rashid, al-Mansur, al-Mamun, and at that time Baghdad was the most advanced science city in the world. The Caliphs gave gold to anybody who would bring a discovery, from Egypt, from Spain, from Italy, and weigh them in gold. And this time, the head of the U.A.E. Space Agency said that they chose one of the most difficult missions, namely to go to Mars, because they thought the challenge would be such that it would provoke the greatest leap forward, the leapfrogging in science and technology. And you know what the average age is of these engineers? Twenty-seven years! And one-third of them are women. So if there is any way to catch up with the future, and modern world, it is exactly that.

And they quote especially a poet, whose name is Al Mutanabbi, but he was born in 915, and they quote him saying, “If you ventured in pursuit of glory, don’t be satisfied with less than the stars.” So I think this is very beautiful.

And as I said, today is the Tianwen-1, it has reached the orbit of Mars. It will be there for a while, and then they will plan very carefully the landing on Mars; I think it will happen in three months. But then, they have a lander and a rover, so this will be a very carefully preplanned operation.

And then, on Feb. 18th, you will have the Perseverance mission from NASA, also a lander and a rover.

So I think this idea that the future of mankind is the colonization of space, and that the best thing which could happen is that all countries work together. The way to overcome geopolitical conflict on Earth is to start to really reach for the stars, to colonize the Moon and Mars, and prepare for future interstellar travel of mankind as one.

I mean, if you look at mankind from space, you see that our little, blue planet is very small, it’s very fragile, and the universe is incredibly big. We have not discovered the first secrets yet—there’s so much to discover, in 2 trillion galaxies, which we know for sure to exist. So it’s really time to overcome what I call the infancy of mankind, where people squabble over territory. If we go for space science, we can completely transform everything which is called a “resource,” and conflicts now which seem to be so big, will completely vanish once we reach the next phase, the next era of human civilization. So I think this is good reason for optimism.

SCHLANGER: Yes, of course, and in keeping with your late husband’s life work, to have that kind of cooperation, what your friend Krafft Ehricke called the Extraterrestrial Imperative. And we should note that we’re coming up on the second anniversary of Lyndon LaRouche’s passing. And on that date, Feb. 12, there will be on the website, 24 hours of videos for people to become more familiar with Lyndon LaRouche.

And Helga just to conclude, in terms of addressing the geopolitical crisis, the Schiller Institute is sponsoring a roundtable this weekend to discuss the situation in Russia. Do you want to say something about that?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Yes, this will be a roundtable of experts; we already have very renowned speakers, Sen. Mike Gravel, I think agreed; then, Professor Edward Lozansky from the American University in Moscow, we also have possibly; Mr. Alex Krainer, the author of Grand Deception, the book on Bill Browder; possibly another expert from Russia; maybe Ray McGovern. So it will be a very important round of people to discuss both what’s behind the operation and why the truth has to be gotten out to neutralize it. So you should all tune in on Saturday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. So, see you then.

SCHLANGER: Yes, 1 p.m. this time. And I think people would find it not just fascinating but crucial, to address the crises we’ve been discussing. Helga, thanks for joining us, and we’ll see you again next week.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Till next week!

Den 7. februar (EIRNS) – HARLEY SCHLANGER fra LaRouche-organisationen interviewede Helga Zepp-LaRouche, grundlægger og formand for Schiller Instituttet, om rapporten, som vil blive frigivet i denne uge af Executive Intelligence Review om 'the Great Reset', ’Den store Nulstilling’ og dens forhold til 'the Green New Deal', politikken for malthusiansk befolkningsreduktion, som blev afsløret af hendes afdøde mand, Lyndon LaRouche, i slutningen af 1960'erne. ’The Great Reset’ var emnet for en online-konference, som Davos-milliardærerne afholdt den 25.-29. januar.

SCHLANGER: Helga, hvorfor bliver der skubbet så aggressivt på med dette lige nu?

HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Realiteten er, at hele det transatlantiske finanssystem er håbløst bankerot. Man gjorde ikke noget ved det, da den systemiske krise brød ud i 2008, bortset fra massive kvantitative lempelser, trykning af pengesedler, og nu er boblen ved at briste. Og dette er hele tricket: Den store nulstilling og den grønne nye aftale betyder, at de vil skyde 30 billioner $ ind i næste og sidste boble, hvorved det kun er dem, der deltager i spekulationen, dvs. milliardærerne, der bliver rige, mens hovedparten af befolkningen vil blive forarmet. Dette er ikke gennemførligt.

SCHLANGER: De kalder dette en "ændring af det finansielle regime". Hvad mener de med det?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Nuvel, regeringer og parlamenter skal ikke længere foretage den lovgivning, der afgør hvordan tingene skal forvaltes, men man ønsker at have et grønt diktatur, hvor det er centralbankerne, der beslutter, hvor meget kød man må spise, om noget i det hele taget; hvor mange rejser man må foretage, hvilken slags bil eller e-bil man kan køre, eller hvad som helst. Dette vil betyde et økodiktatur, der får ethvert tidligere diktatur til at ligne en skovtur.

SCHLANGER: Da din mand tog dette op første gang i 1971, beskrev han det som en schachtiansk korporationspolitik (efter Hjalmar Schacht, https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Schacht –red). Hvad betyder det? Hvad er betydningen af ’Schachtianismen’?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Det er en form for selvkannibalisering af arbejdsstyrken. Problemet er, at hvis man udskifter kul og fossile brændstoffer, og man ikke går over til kernekraft, bliver man helt afhængig af såkaldte grønne vedvarende teknologier og energikilder, så man får en meget lav energitæthed, hvilket betyder at man ikke kan opretholde moderne industrinationer. Dette vil være et hidtil uset anslag imod levestandarden, og for udviklingslandene vil det indebære folkedrab; fordi, som folk ved, har vi en pandemi, der er ude af kontrol; og som lederen af ​​Verdensfødevareprogrammet, David Beasley, advarer om igen og igen, kommer dertil en hungersnød af "bibelske dimensioner". Så hvis man således ødelægger den industrielle kapacitet i de industrialiserede nationer, efterlader man Den tredje Verden i en katastrofe. Man inviterer apokalypsens fire ryttere – sult, sygdom, pest og krig – og det vil føre til en gigantisk affolkning. Dette er essensen af, hvad Hjalmar Schacht (Hitlers centralbankmand og finansminister) drejede sig om, fordi det endte med koncentrationslejrene, og det er, på en anden vis, hvad vi ser på i dag.

SCHLANGER: Du har kaldt dette "den nye fascisme". Hvad er forskellen i forhold til ’schachtianismen’ fra 30'erne og 40'erne, og hvad mener du med "ny fascisme" i dag?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Bare fordi den ikke har alle aspekterne af den gamle fascisme i tradition af Mussolini, Franco, Hitler og så videre; hvis man indfører den form for reduktion af levestandarden, og man går til energi-gennemstrømningstætheder, som indebærer strømsvigt, hvilket igen vil betyde et sammenbrud af industriproduktionen, så er effekten den samme. Så man skal ikke se på etiketten, men på effekten af denne politik, som er en fuldstændig ødelæggelse af arbejdskraftens produktive evne.

SCHLANGER: Du har netop offentliggjort en artikel om faren for en atomkrig. Hvordan er dette relateret til Den store Nulstilling? ("Helga Zepp-LaRouche om budskabet fra Biden-administrationen: Atomkrig er en reel mulighed, '" http://laroucheorganization.com)

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Det forholder sig sådan, at der en utrolig anti-Kina-, anti-Rusland-kampagne, hovedsageligt fordi Kina er for opadgående, Asien er for opadgående, og der er en indsats fra visse oligarkiske kræfter i Vesten for at inddæmme denne opstigning. Hvis nu man ødelægger de vestlige økonomier; hvis man afindustrialiserer Europa, USA og muligvis andre lande, der følger efter, vil man uundgåeligt komme i konflikt med Kina og Rusland. Kina vil muligvis snakke den grønne dagsorden efter munden, men Kina går efter rene, moderne kulkraftanlæg, kernekraftsanlæg; de har et meget ambitiøst program for termonuklear fusion, hvor de er så godt som førende i verden. Så den geopolitiske opposition siger allerede, i lighed med admiral Charles Richard, chefen for den Amerikanske strategiske Kommando, at en atomkrig er sandsynlig, og at Pentagon er nødt til at skifte fra tanken om, at en krig ikke er sandsynlig, til at det er meget sandsynligt. Jeg mener, hvis man lægger alle disse ting sammen, vil denne politik uundgåeligt føre til 3. Verdenskrig.

SCHLANGER: På trods for alt dette har du i de sidste par dage udtrykt en vis grad af optimisme for, at dette kan overvindes: Hvad er grundlaget for din optimisme?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Jeg mener, ​​at denne politik er så åbenlys, at der er folk, der begynder at diskutere det. Og jeg tror, ​​at den eneste måde at besejre det på er at få budskabet spredt ud så vidt muligt, om hvad der ligger bag denne politik, at sørge for at alle ved det. For eksempel sagde G77-landene og De alliancefrie landes Bevægelse på klimatopmødet i København i 2009, at de ikke vil underskrive en sådan selvmordspagt. Jeg er helt sikker på, at Rusland og Kina er meget opmærksomme på, hvad meningen er med denne politik. Jo flere mennesker, industrifolk, ledere af små og mellemstore virksomheder, iværksættere, fagforeninger – jo flere mennesker, der diskuterer det og forstår, at der findes et alternativ til det, nemlig at indføre Lyndon LaRouche's 'fire love' – en global Glass/Steagall-politik; nationalbanker i hvert land; og indlemme disse nationalbanker i et 'Nyt Bretton Woods-kreditsystem, nøjagtigt som Franklin D. Roosevelt havde til hensigt; og derefter gå over til en massiv industrialisering af Afrika og Mellemøsten, som har presserende brug for det. Så kan vi ændre dette. Og jeg tror, ​​at flere og flere mennesker inden for USA og Europa vil forstå, at det er i deres bedste interesse ikke at følge denne politik.

SCHLANGER: I betragtning af dette internationale potentiale er det afgørende hvad der sker i USA. Så hvad skal vores lyttere gøre for at sikre, at vi besejrer 'the Great Reset' og 'the Green New Deal'?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Få som sagt nyhederne ud så vidt man kan, om hvad der ligger bag dette; gør dine venner, dine bekendte, dine kolleger og fortrolige bekendt med dette; sørg for at dit kongresmedlem, dine andre valgte embedsmænd, borgmesteren, byrådet, at de alle ved besked om det, fordi indførelsen af denne politik vil lande på bordet hos de valgte embedsmænd, og det vil bringe dem i en helt utrolig konflikt med deres samvittighed og med de mennesker, hvis interesser de repræsenterer.

SCHLANGER: Helga, tak for dine indsigter i dette og for dit arbejde med at få denne rapport ud. Den udkommer i indeværende uge i det kommende nummer af {Executive Intelligence Review}, og kort derefter vil der være et mindre afsnit af det i en pjece distribueret af LaRouche-organisationen. Så Helga, tak, og vi ses snart igen.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Vi ses.

6. februar (EIRNS) —Følgende er en oversættelse af Helga Zepp-LaRouches hovedartikel i det tyske tidsskrift Neue Solidarität, nr. 6, den 11. februar 2021:

Forholdet til Amerika vil ikke være let endnu et stykke tid fremover. I betragtning af de forskellige strategidokumenter mod Rusland og Kina samt udsagn fra førende militærofficerer lyder præsident Bidens meddelelse i hans første udenrigspolitiske tale – ”Amerika er tilbage” – som en skjult trussel. Under hans ledelse sagde han, at de dage, hvor USA vil ”lægger sig fladt ned”, når de står over for Ruslands aggressive handlinger, er forbi, og Kinas aggressive tvangsforanstaltninger vil blive imødegået. Titlen på hans tale var ”Amerikas plads i verden”, og ifølge Biden er denne plads overalt i verden. Regeringer såvel som ansvarlige borgere overalt i verden skal straks begynde at reflektere over, hvordan de vil reagere på de erklæringer om politisk hensigt, der er hørt i forbindelse med Bidens tiltrædelse.

De mest chokerende udsagn kom fra adm. Charles Richard, chef for den Amerikanske Strategiske Kommando, der skrev i februarudgaven af USA Flådeinstitutetts Proceedings:

”Der er en reel mulighed for, at en regional krise med Rusland eller Kina hurtigt kunne eskalere til en konflikt, der involverer atomvåben, hvis de opfatter, at en konventionel krigs nederlag ville true regimet eller staten. Derfor må det amerikanske militær flytte sin hovedantagelse fra ’brug af atomvåbner er ikke mulig’ til ’brug af atomvåbner er en meget reel mulighed’ …. ”

Det burde være klart, at admiral Richard her taler om 3. verdenskrig, hvilket sandsynligvis ville betyde tilintetgørelse af menneskeheden. Som MIT-atomvåbenekspert Theodore Postol blandt andet gentagne gange og overbevisende har hævdet, er den afgørende forskel mellem konventionelle krig og en atomkrig faktisk det, at en atomkrig ikke forbliver begrænset. Men NATO’s utopiske fraktion mener tværtimod, at en begrænset atomkrig kunne blive ”vundet”. Og hvilke ”regionale konflikter” kunne man overveje? En konflikt ved den russiske grænse på grund af Aegis-baserede missilforsvarssystemer i Polen og Rumænien? Eller vedrørende det østlige Ukraine, hvor Europa bliver krigsskuepladsen? En konflikt mellem Israel og Iran eller en eskalering af spændingerne omkring Taiwan?

Admiral Richards uhyrlige bemærkninger skal betragtes på baggrund af adskillige forskellige strategiske papirer og doktriner, hvor det meste perfide er et dokument udgivet af Atlanterhavsrådet den 28. januar. Dokumentet er underskrevet ”Anonym”, som er ”en tidligere senior regerings embedsmand med dybdegående ekspertise og erfaring med at beskæftige sig med Kina,” ifølge beskrivelsen i forordet af Frederick Kempe, lederen af Atlanterhavsrådet. Dokumentet på 85 sider, der er beskrevet som et af de vigtigste, Rådet nogensinde har offentliggjort, har titlen ”Det længere telegram: Hen imod en ny amerikansk Kina-strategi (The Longer Telegram: Toward a New American China Strategy)”, i eksplicit henvisning til dokumentet ”Lang telegram (Long Telegram)” fra 1946, der også blev offentliggjort anonymt i sin tid af George Kennan, hvor han opfordrede til en inddæmningspolitik mod Sovjetunionen.

Denne nye anonyme forfatter opfordrer åbent til et kup imod præsident Xi Jinping og hans ”indre kreds” for at erstatte ham med oppositionsledere inden for det kinesiske kommunistparti. Da styrtningen af hele det kommunistiske parti med sine 91 millioner medlemmer ikke har nogen chance for at få succes, siger han, at den amerikanske strategi skal forblive ”laserfokuseret” på Xi Jinping og sigte mod at opsplitte CCP-ledelsen, hvor højtstående partimedlemmer er uenige i Xis politiske retning og hans uendelige krav om absolut loyalitet. Man skal hjælpe disse kredse i CCP-ledelsen med at komme til magten, der i modsætning til Xi Jinping ikke ønsker at implementere deres egen kinesiske model for en international orden, men vil underkaste sig den USA-dominerede verdensorden. Xi har ifølge ”Anonym” til hensigt at projicere Kinas autoritære system over hele verden og udgør ikke længere et problem kun for den USA-ledede liberale internationale orden og amerikanske forrang, men et alvorligt problem for hele den demokratiske verden.

Lad os forstille os følgende tænkeeksperiment. Hvordan ville den tyske regering reagere, hvis en førende russisk tænketank offentliggjorde en undersøgelse, der opfordrede til at kansler Merkel og hendes inderkreds skulle væltes med laserlignende præcision, for at hjælpe med til, at en fraktion i CDU, der ville være underordnet Moskvas interesser tager magten, mens chefen for de strategiske våben samtidig talte om, at en atomkrig er sandsynlig? Der ville være et hidtil uset oprør i hele Tyskland! Det bør ikke overraske nogen, at chefredaktøren for Kinas Global Times, Hu Xijin, reagerede på artiklen af admiral Richards med en opfordring til Kina om, at opbygge et atomarsenal på 1.000 atomvåben for at gøre Kinas anden-strejke-kapacitet troværdig.

Både i Atlantic Council-dokumentet og i det officielle papir fra USA’s Udenrigsministeriums Kontor for politisk planlægning (Office of Policy Planning) med titlen ”Elementerne i den kinesiske udfordring (The Elements of the Chinese Challenge)” er det klart, at det er succesen med den kinesiske økonomiske model og hastigheden af dens teknologiske innovation, der betragtes som truslen mod amerikansk dominans i verden. Det var en forkert beregning at antage, at Kinas integration på verdensmarkedet, ved at tilslutte sig WTO, automatisk ville føre til, at nationen ville vedtage den vestlige neoliberale demokratimodel, siger Udenrigsministeriets papir. For Kina opbyggede også sin egen “marxist-leninistiske” model af en autoritær stat, domineret af “partiets ekstreme fortolkning af kinesisk nationalisme.” Derudover fortsætter det, at Kina er fast besluttet på at skabe en ”national foryngelse”, der skal kulmineres i transformation af den internationale orden.

Vi kan selvfølgelig ikke kommentere på alle de ekstremt fjendtlige beskyldninger i de to papirer, da Udenrigsministeriets dokument er 72 sider langt. Sammenfattende kan det siges, at stort set alle anklager, der påstås mod Kinas politik, er en projicering af deres egne politikker og intentioner. Der gøres ikke noget forsøg på at forstå Kina ud fra dets 5.000-årige historie og kultur, og der erkendes heller ikke, hvor stor en civilisationspræstation det var for Kina at løfte 850 millioner mennesker ud af ekstrem fattigdom i løbet af de seneste årtier. Fra dette perspektiv betragtes naturligvis Silkevejsinitiativet ikke som en økonomisk politik, der tillader udviklingslande at overvinde deres underudvikling for første gang nogensinde, men som bevis på Kinas intentioner om at opnå overherredømme.

I betragtning af det Nationale Sikkerhedsagenturs samlede overvågning af ikke kun dens egen befolkning, men siden 11. september 2001 hele verden og censur af endog den daværende siddende præsident for USA (Donald Trump) fra TV-netværkerne og IT-giganterne i Silicon Valley, kræver det en meget speciel form for optik for at beskylde Kina for at have spioneret på og overvåget sine borgere. Virkeligheden er, at digitalisering i Kina har muliggjort meget effektiv kontaktsporing i coronaviruspandemien, og at det sociale kreditsystem har overvældende populær støtte, fordi belønningen med positiv adfærd for samfundet også gavner hver enkelt.

Fælles for begge dokumenter er, at deres forfattere genfortolker absolut alt om kinesisk kultur, som i tusinder af år har sat interesse for det fælles gode over individets interesse, og som strømmer fra et dybtliggende behov for en harmonisk udvikling af alle, og de gør det til den vestlige ordens fjendebillede.

Det er ikke det kinesiske kommunistparti, der søger verdensherredømme, men snarere at den unipolære verdensordens nyliberale etablissement frygter, at det vil miste sit overherredømme og har bevæget sig kilometer væk fra de universelle principper, med hvilket Amerika blev grundlagt, og som det hævder at repræsentere. Og hvad Biden-administrationen synes om respekt for andre landes suverænitet er indlysende i dens modstand mod Nord Strøm 2-gasprojektet.

I øvrigt tjener hele hurlumhejet omkring Vladimir Putins påståede forgiftning af Alexey Navalny, som er støttet af vestlige efterretningsagenturer, det samme formål, om at sætte en farverevolution i gang og derved skabe en opposition inden for Putins inderkreds, der kunne bruges til at fjerne ham fra embedet.

Alle ansvarlige og tænkende mennesker opfordres til gennem deres mobilisering at bidrage til at forhindre, at Europas regeringer trækkes videre ind i den bebudede kampagne mod Kina og Rusland. Kansler Merkel understregede korrekt i sin tale til World Economic Forums online-begivenhed, at hun afviste enhver form for blokdannelse imellem USA og Kina, hvor Europa derefter skulle vælge side, og sagde, at den multilateralismes time var kommet.

I lyset af admiral Richards farlige udsagn må de europæiske lande ikke kun udtrykkeligt distancere sig fra en sådan politik, de skal også trække sig ud af NATO og søge en sikkerhedsarkitektur, der afspejler deres befolkningers interesser. Det, der står på spil, er Europas overlevelse.

4. februar (EIRNS) – "Mennesket længes opad, mod udforskning af rummet med ét altoverskyggende formål: Menneskehedens fulde udvikling på jorden". Således slutter Lyndon LaRouches artikel fra 1996, 'Space: The Ultimate Money Frontier'. Med tre rumfartøjer, der går i kredsløb omkring Mars eller lander på selve den røde planet i denne måned, er de økonomiske erfaringer som LaRouche underviser i særligt relevante for at skabe en fremtidsorienteret politik i modsætning til den grønne ondskab i 'the Great Reset' (Den store Nulstilling).

Når vi ser tilbage, skabte det amerikanske måneprogram, Apollo, samt de teknologiske, videnskabelige og industrielle fremskridt, der var nødvendige for at muliggøre det, et tifoldigt investeringsafkast. Dette afkast var ikke monetært, såsom det var for de institutionelle investorer, der tjente milliarder på stigningen af GameStops-aktier, men fysisk. Post-Apollo-økonomien, og samfundet, blev beriget med specifikke teknologier, forbedrede værktøjsmaskiner og produktionsteknikker og en overflod af dygtige ingeniører og arbejdere.

I øjeblikket repræsenterer de tre rumfartøjer, der når Mars i de kommende uger – USA's 'Perserverance', Kinas 'Tianwen-1' og De forenede arabiske Emiraters 'Hope' – disse nationer og deres partneres forpligtelse til at forøge deres kapaciteter og løfte sløret for universets hemmeligheder.

'Perseverance' har mikrofoner til optagelse af dets indrejse og aflytning af lyden af dets rejse over Mars-terrænet; to dusin kameraer til at optage landingen, styre navigationen, se mineralprøver, bruge røntgenfluoroskopi og synligt lys til at bestemme den kemiske sammensætning af klipper ved at zappe dem med dets laser og skabe 3D-visninger af rejsen; en syv fods robotarm, komplet med en boremaskine med udskiftelige hoveder til udboring af prøver; et plutoniumbatteri og en række antenner til at holde kontakten med Jorden og kredsløbsmodulet. Det vil også bringe den første helikopter til Mars.

'Hopes' kredsløb vil gøre U.A.E. den femte part, der når frem til Mars efter USA, Sovjetunionen, Den Europæiske Rumorganisation og Indien. Kredsløbsmodulet vil studere Mars’ atmosfære. Kinas 'Tianwen-1' kommer i kredsløb blot en dag senere, hvilket gør denne nation til den sjette, der når den røde planet. Ligesom 'Perseverance' består ’Tianwen-1’ af et kredsløbsmodul og et landingsmodul med en marsbil, der er udstyret med kameraer, sensorer og en overfladegennemtrængende radar.

I fremtiden vil menneskehedens formål i rummet udvides til at omfatte en familie af rumstationer i kredsløb om Jorden, gennemgribende fremskridt med at bringe nyttelast i kredsløb, minedrift af helium-3 på månen som et fusionsbrændstof, atomdrevne raketter og en videnskabskoloni på Mars. Som LaRouche skrev i 1996: ”Universet er tæt besat af astrofysiske anomalier, som vi ved eksisterer, men mangler midlerne til at undersøge på en mere effektiv måde… antallet af nye grundlæggende opdagelser, som venter menneskeheden, fra selv de indledende næste skridt mod Mars-kolonisering, er utrolig stort: disse anomalier alene ville sikre os adskillige store videnskabelige gennembrud inden for videnskabspraksis på Jorden”.

Vi bliver nødt til at arbejde hårdt for at nå disse mål! Sikring af en global udvikling af infrastruktur – såvel 'hård' (transport, elektricitet, vand, sanitet, hospitaler) som 'blød' (uddannelse, sundhedsarbejdere, videnskabelige institutioner) – betyder en forpligtelse til at vælte det rådne imperialistiske paradigme for finanser og befolkningsreduktion, der forurener så mange sind og institutioner i den transatlantiske verden. Den formentlig mest destruktive mentale forurening, som kræver nødhjælp, er den grønne ideologi, der ser menneskelig handling og udvikling som en unaturlig ødelæggelse af den præ-menneskelige (og derfor "perfekte") naturtilstand. Evnen til at håndhæve denne ideologi på verdensplan har store problemer i kraft af uafhængigheden af nationerne Rusland og Kina og den hæsblæsende vækst i sidstnævnte land – vækst, som det eksporterer gennem sit Bælte- og Vejinitiativ.

For at forhindre muligheden for at USA beslutter sig til en mission for vækst og samarbejde med andre stormagter, har kampagnen for at fremstille Rusland og Kina som en kombination af 'autoritær', 'ondartet' (et ord der har mistet enhver betydning), eller som at de 'søger at udvikle deres egne imperier', nået et nyt niveau med direkte angreb rettet mod præsidenterne Putin og Xi, såvel som regimeskifte-operationer, som med tilfældet Alexej Navalny.

Det er det britiske imperium, der har skabt og presser på med disse grønne og geopolitiske myter, og det er dette imperium, som vil blive besejret ved at afsløre den morderiske sandhed om 'Great Reset'/'Green New Deal', og ved at afsløre den utrolige fremtid som kan blive vores, hvis vi vender vore blikke og tanker opad mod stjernerne.

Ligesom vi ser frem til gode nyheder fra Mars denne måned, kan vi også se frem til stærke efterretninger fra EIR og LaRouche-Organisationen for at besejre den grønne forurening, der truer med at trække os ned i snavset.

Schiller Instituttets ugentlige webcast med Helga Zepp-LaRouche den 4. februar 2021, kan også ses her:

Mens det globale oligarkiske etablissement i London følger en politik, der sigter mod at påtvinge et globalt diktatur af bankdirektører og indlede nye krige, fremhævede Helga Zepp-LaRouche, hvad hun optimistisk beskrev, som "babyskridt" hen imod et nyt paradigme, baseret på videnskabeligt samarbejde mellem suveræne stater. I sin ugentlige dialog pegede hun på aftaler indgået imellem Rusland og Kina på den ene side og nationer i Europa – inklusive Tyskland – og Sydamerika, om at levere COVID-19-vacciner, som bevis for, at der er bevægelse mod at realisere hendes opfordring til at udvikle et "globalt sundhedssystem", som den eneste måde at besejre pandemien, og forhindre udbrud af andre pandemier i fremtiden. Hun talte også om den spændende udsigt til, at tre nationer – De forenede arabiske Emirater, USA og Kina – har Mars-missioner, der når planeten i løbet af de næste uger i februar.

Denne positive udvikling stillede Helga Zepp-LaRouche i modsætning til de dystre udsigter, der blev præsenteret i Davos, da finansoligarker desperat forsøgte at påtvinge en grøn finansiel boble for at redde deres kollapsende system; med EU's manglende evne til at håndtere pandemien og den økonomiske krise, kendetegnet ved udsigten til en Draghi-regering i Italien; og med regimeskiftsoperationer rettet mod Rusland omkring Navalny-affæren og mod Kina med Atlanterhavsrådets hvidbog, "Det længere telegram (The Longer Telegram)", der anvender den geopolitiske metode, som førte til den langvarige kolde krig mod Sovjetunionen, hvilket kunne provokere en atomkrig i dag.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche talte også om den dysfunktionelle polarisering af den amerikanske politiske scene med rigsretssagen i Senatet planlagt til næste uge. Hun beskrev Nancy Pelosi, flertalsleder i Repræsentanternes Hus, og andre som folk, der er "gået grassat", især med deres ubehagelige hævngerrighed overfor Trump og hans tilhængere.

Disse babyskridt hen imod samarbejde kan danne grundlag for at fremprovokere en nødvendig "ændring i tænkningen" på verdensplan for at bryde ud af det farlige paradigme skabt af City of London og dets allierede i USA og Vesteuropa.

30. jan (EIRNS) – Det følgende er taget fra Dennis Speeds indledende bemærkninger til LaRouche-organisationens Manhattan Project Dialog den 30. januar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vnSlSGUBPs&feature=youtu.be

I over fire årtier fungerede Lyndon LaRouche og hans organisation som en slags skyggepræsidentskab i USA. Politikker blev formuleret, tilbudt, diskuteret, debatteret, undertiden afvist; men ufortrødent fremsat af Lyndon LaRouche. Hans samarbejde og dialog med forskellige ledere over hele verden, inklusive tidligere præsident Ronald Reagan og andre, førte til politiske ændringer. Ændringer, som ofte blev mødt med – skal vi sige – stor foruroligelse og undertiden juridiske indgreb imod hans organisation. Men LaRouche gjorde det, fordi han, som et resultat af sit arbejde inden for fysisk økonomi og hans fremskridt med dette arbejde, var blevet opmærksom på, at der var en proces i gang indenfor det der blev kaldt den transatlantiske sektor, som dømte denne sektor, og dømte det monetære system, der blev etableret efter 1944-45 i Bretton Woods, til undergang, efter at præsident Richard Nixon fjernede dollaren fra guldstandarden den 15. august 1971.

Siden den tid har den transatlantiske sektor været involveret i en nu accelererende selv-kannibaliserende proces. Folk har kaldt det for økonomiske opsving; de har kaldt det alle mulige ting. Men hvad der er sket er, at processen med i stigende grad at ødelægge vores egen tunge industri og energiproduktion, hvilket nu er blevet kodificeret i de seneste handlinger, der blev taget af Biden-administrationen for at bringe USA tilbage til Paris-aftalen, er udtryk for et andet problem. Dette problem er en manglende evne til at forstå eller tillempe, ikke kun den grundlæggende lære af Den amerikanske Frihedskrig og dens forfatning, oprettelsen af en forfatningsmæssig republik, men endnu vigtigere, de avancerede idéer vedrørende samme republik, som Lyndon LaRouche fremsatte.

Det, vi vil gøre i dag, er at præsentere en form for panel for at prøve at komme ind på spørgsmålet om, hvordan folk må begynde at genoverveje, hvordan de skal tænke i denne situation. Man har en situation, hvor spørgsmålet om, hvad der virkelig foregår, er et grundlæggende spørgsmål, der konfronterer mennesker.

For eksempel for indeværende i USA, enten på venstre- eller højrefløjen, som forresten faktisk ikke eksisterer. Men de mennesker, der mener at være til venstre eller til højre, taler om frygt for en borgerkrig. Nogle mennesker taler om behovet for en borgerkrig i USA. En sådan ting ville i det væsentlige ende med milliarder af døde mennesker. Dette er ikke en amerikansk affære; det er ikke en intern sag. Det indikerer, at folk skal overveje, om det egentligt ikke er den manglende evne til at forstå, hvordan man tænker ligesom Abraham Lincoln tænkte, der er deres grundvilkår. Måske det faktum, at Lincoln manglede nogen formel uddannelse i det hele taget, men snarere hans tillid til Bibelen, Shakespeares værker og den skotske digter Robert Burns poesi som den grundlæggende inspiration til hele hans liv – måske det er det, der kvalificerede ham til at vide, hvordan man tænker som han gjorde, og derved bevarede Unionen fra løsrivelsen, som undertiden fejlagtigt kaldes borgerkrigen.

Lærdommen af den slags tanker og handlinger til at mestre dette lands sande historie og den virkelige videnskab om fysisk økonomi var, hvad Lyndon LaRouche viede hele sit liv til. LaRouche, der døde den 12. februar 2019, var den mest fremtrædende fysiske økonom i verden. Det, vi ønsker at gøre i dag, er at bruge hans tankemetode til at angribe de problemer, der i øjeblikket forvirrer folks tænkning ikke kun i USA, men over hele kloden.

Xi Jinping om multilateralisme og innovation: I sin tale som bar titlen: ”Lad multilateralismens fakkel oplyse menneskehedens vej frem", udtrykte Xi tillid til, at verden vil overvinde pandemien, men at tingene ikke bare vil vende tilbage til, hvad de var før Covid”. Den første opgave for menneskeheden, sagde han, er at bruge makroøkonomisk politik “til at bringe økonomien ud af junglen”. ”Vi er nødt til at forandre drivkræfterne og vækstmodellerne for den globale økonomi og forbedre dens struktur, for at sætte kursen for en langsigtet, sund og stabil udvikling af verdensøkonomien. ”For det andet bliver lande nødt til at ”opgive ideologiske fordomme og i fællesskab følge en vej med fredelig sameksistens, gensidig fordel og win-win-samarbejde”. Lande er forskellige og har forskellige kulturer og civilisationer, sagde Xi, og denne mangfoldighed bør respekteres, da den er kilden til verdens styrke…

Den vej, som Kina vil gå, er ikke at påtvinge folk nedskæringer, men ved hurtigt at komme videre med udviklingen af videnskab og teknologi. ”Videnskab, teknologi og innovation er nøglefaktorer for menneskelige fremskridt, et stærkt våben til at tackle mange globale udfordringer og den eneste måde for Kina at fremme et nyt udviklingsparadigme og opnå udvikling af høj kvalitet", sagde Xi. “Kina vil investere mere i videnskab og teknologi, og prioritere udvikling af et system der muliggør innovation, omdanne gennembrud inden for videnskab og teknologi til faktisk produktivitet i en hurtigere takt og forbedre beskyttelse af intellektuel ejendomsret, alt sammen med det formål at fremme innovationsdrevet vækst af højere kvalitet”.

Merkel: Vi skal ikke vælge mellem USA og Kina

Et andet udtryk for fornuft i forbindelse med internationale relationer kom fra den tyske kansler Angela Merkel. Hun skabte overskrifter ved tage stilling til fordel for præsident Xi Jinpings opfordringer til et nyt system for multilateralisme i implicit modsætning til præsident Bidens bestræbelser på at danne en global anti-kinesisk blok. Merkel sagde, ”Den kinesiske præsident talte i går, og han og jeg er enige. Vi ser et behov for multilateralisme… Jeg vil meget gerne undgå at opbygge blokke. Jeg tror ikke, det ville yde retfærdighed over for mange samfund, hvis vi siger, at dette er USA, og derovre er Kina, og vi grupperer os omkring den ene eller den anden. Dette er ikke min forståelse af, hvordan tingene burde være… ”

Putin: 1930'erne førte til verdenskrig; Kan konflikten undgås i dag?

27. januar (EIRNS) – "I øjeblikket er der ingen direkte paralleller i historien", sagde den russiske præsident Vladimir Putin i sin tale på Davos Agenda Forum. "Imidlertid sammenligner nogle eksperter… den aktuelle situation med 1930'erne… Som man ved, førte manglende evne og manglende vilje til at finde egentlige løsninger på problemer som disse i det 20. århundrede til katastrofen med 2. verdenskrig. Naturligvis, håber jeg, er en sådan ophedet global konflikt principielt umulig. Det er det jeg sætter min lid til, for dette ville være slutningen på menneskeheden. Som jeg imidlertid har sagt, kan situationen tage en uventet og ukontrollerbar vending – medmindre vi gør noget for at forhindre det. Der er en risiko for, at vi står over for et formidabelt nedbrud i den globale udvikling, hvilket vil være fuld af krig med alle mod alle og forsøg på at tackle modsætningerne ved at udpege interne og eksterne fjender, samt ødelæggelse af, ikke kun traditionelle værdier som familien, men de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder…

”Vi har et fælles ansvar for at forhindre dette scenarie, der ser ud som en dyster dystopi, og i stedet at sikre at vores udvikling tager en anden bane – positiv, harmonisk og kreativ”, fortsatte Putin, der derefter identificerede tre store udfordringer, som det internationale samfund står over for…

Mens de utopiske fascister fra den globalistiske erhvervselite har planlagt at bruge den nuværende Davos-konference som det tidspunkt, hvor de gennemtrumfer deres globale bankdiktatur for at indføre en dødbringende Grøn New Deal, er der tegn på, at en opposition vokser, centreret omkring Kina og Rusland, som også inkluderer nogle europæiske elementer. Helga Zepp-LaRouche beskrev konferencen hidtil som "en pose blandede bolsjer" og sagde, at finansoligarkerne, der fremmer negativ økonomisk vækst og befolkningsreduktion, er stødt ind i ledende nationers hensigter, som ikke er villige til at overgive deres suverænitet for "aktionær-kapitalismens” skyld. Begge præsidenter Xi og Putin opfordrede til samarbejde og multilaterale løsninger, og Xi sagde, at den unipolære model, der afhænger af at sætte nationer op mod hinanden, er forældet. I det som Zepp-LaRouche kaldte et "tidens tegn", støttede Tysklands kansler Merkel Xis appel for multilateralisme, som hun sagde, stred mod den idé, som præsident Biden søsatte for et "demokratisk topmøde" for alle nationer mod Kina og Rusland.

Mens Helga Zepp-LaRouche var forsigtigt optimistisk med hensyn til Biden-Putin-aftalen om at ratificere en femårig NY START-atomnedrustningsaftale, sagde hun, at Bidens belæring af Putin om de sædvanlige geopolitiske spørgsmål viser, at dem der står bag ham stadig er fast besluttet på en strategisk orientering, der kan føre til krig. Yderligere betyder de rige landes manglende evne til at yde hjælp til fattigere lande med at bekæmpe COVID19-pandemien, at vi enten fremtvinger en ændring i tankegangen, eller også vil pandemien ikke blive overvundet. Den eneste løsning på de problemer, som Xi og Putin rejste i deres taler, er den fulde indførelse af Lyndon LaRouches plan for en firmagtsaftale [mellem USA, Rusland, Kina og Indien] for at etablere et Nyt Bretton Woods-kreditsystem, og at gennemføre LaRouches Fire Økonomiske Love på verdensplan. Hun opfordrede seerne til at slutte sig til Schiller Instituttet for at hjælpe til med at realisere potentialet for et globalt system, der giver mulighed for udvikling af alle nationer.

Engelsk afskrift:

HARLEY SCHLANGER:  Hello, I’m Harley Schlanger, welcome to our weekly dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche: It’s Jan. 27th, 2021.  And I think we should start with the ongoing summit of the World Economic Forum, the Davos billionaires, the gathering of corporatists from around the world to talk about the “Great Reset.”

Helga, what’s the latest you have on what’s going on there?

 HELGA ZEPP-LAROUCHE:  It’s a mixed bag, because on the one side, you have all the CEOs of the large firms and banks, BlackRock, Standard Chartered, you have basically the people who—they don’t talk about the Great Reset any more because that has been discredited a lot, so they’re calling it the “Great Transition.” For example, Bill Winters who’s the CEO of Standard Chartered bank, said this is the great $50 trillion opportunity for the next ten years; others like Philip Hildebrand, the Vice President of BlackRock and so forth, they’re all saying they need a lot private finance, private investment.  Basically this is a scheme to transform the world economy, get rid of fossil fuels, naturally no emphasis on nuclear energy, and it would mean to bring the energy flux-density of the world down to a level where, for sure, the present level of more than 7 billion people cannot be maintained.  As a matter of fact, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the former head of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, he had said many times that he thought the ideal population for the world is 1 billion, and if these policies of these people would be implemented, you would destroy the world’s industrial capacities. Because if you eliminate fossil fuels—first of all there are clean coal plants now; secondly if you eliminate coal plants, especially for the developing sector, there is no way how you can prevent mass death!  And obviously, this is the hidden, or not so hidden, implication of all of these schemes.

This is a big danger, because these are people who are allied with the central banks, the Fed, the ECB, the Bank of England, all the large corporations, but they’re not the only ones in the world who count, because there was also Xi Jinping, who gave the keynote. For some reason WEF director Klaus Schwab asked him to give the keynote, and he had a quite different tone.  First of all, he said the mode of setting countries against each other is outmoded and that what is needed is a multilateralism which is in the interest of all participants.  He also emphasized a lot the role of science and technology innovation, that China is continuously intending to help the other countries of the South to overcome poverty.

So I think the fact that China is just existing, and is offering a different model of development, including having now started to deliver vaccines for the COVID pandemic to 150 countries, is setting a different tone.  And if these oligarchs of the big banks and corporations want to push through their scheme it just means they will dismantle the industries of the United States and Europe and other countries that go along with that; but I don’t think that they can win.  So it is a sign of the times that Chancellor Merkel, who spoke after Xi Jinping basically supported Xi Jinping in his idea of having multilateralism.  She said she does not want to be put in a position where she has to choose where one bloc is centered around the United States and another one is centered around China, and that she thinks future relations must be based on multilateralism.

Now, this is very important, because, as we know, President Biden has been pushing, or had hoped to have this “Democracy Summit” which was his idea to collect all the NATO countries and get them all lined up against China and against Russia; so that is obviously not functioning, so you see a new—it’s still in a nascent form and baby steps, but you see a tendency in Europe to not want to be treated like the colonies of whatever is being said in Washington, and indirectly, naturally, with London given the marching orders from behind.  So this is an interesting development.

However, I just got a report before we started this program, about the speech of President Putin, and while I didn’t have time to read it at length, I think some of the elements which he said are extremely important: Because he said that the danger is that the world risks a conflict of all against all if global development concerns are not taken care. And he also said that he really hopes that it will not come to a hot global conflict, because this could mean the end to our civilization.  [http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/64938]

I think Putin, and the Russians in general, are very clearly aware of the dangers in general are very clearly aware of the dangers which are in the situation, and I think it’s very important that he expressed it with that clarity. 

I think this Davos virtual summit is just a measurement of where the different forces in the world stand. I think the decisions are being made by the central banks and the forces of Wall Street, City of London, Silicon Valley, and that is the new oligarchical power, which is the real problem. 

But as I said, it’s a divided world, and there is an alternative between absolute zero growth, or reduction of growth, poverty, leading to war and conflict, and the perspective of joining hands to attack the problems of underdevelopment together.  So I think it’s new and naturally, people like the BlackRock representative said there is now a new game change, a new landscape because Biden is the new President and he has brought the United States back into this Green New Deal arrangement—yeah, that’s true and it’s very problematic for the United States, but as I said, that is not the only story in town.

  SCHLANGER: To continue that thread a little bit, if you think about what you just said on what Putin said and what Xi said, it’s clear that the alternative to what’s being pushed by the central banks is your husband’s proposal for the four powers as having the strength to combat Wall Street, the City of London and so on. Now in that, when we’re talking about Biden and Putin, they had a discussion yesterday which had some interesting aspects to it, starting with the renewal of the START agreement, but what do you make of that talk?

 ZEPP-LAROUCHE: From the little which is known about it, I think it was useful, because they agreed that the New START Treaty will be extended for five years, which is what Putin had offered, and both sides expressed that it’s in their mutual interest.  [Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei] Ryabkov said that this is very good because it gives five years for a complete reevaluation and the refounding of the relationship between the United States and Russia.  Naturally, then of course, Biden could not help himself to bring in the usual geopolitical issues, like the Navalny case, the supposed hacking of SolarWinds, and similar things, so he had to say these things; but I think it’s important, because when the two largest nuclear powers stop talking, then this is the most dangerous. So while I’m not saying that this is resolving anything, I think it is an important first step. And it is important, because the world is really in a very dangerous situation, so I think that that’s what one can say about it.

SCHLANGER:  One of the dangers is the continuing inability of big powers, including the European Union and the United States, to bring the coronavirus pandemic under control.  This was discussed peripherally there, and Biden’s coming up with a plan.  But unless you deal with this as you proposed, as an international question, with a new health system for every nation, this is not going to be stopped by the kind of half-measures that are being taken.

 ZEPP-LAROUCHE:  Well, there is obviously an effort to beef up the production of vaccines. I think there are efforts being made. But now, there’s a huge scandal in Europe, because—this is unfortunately true, that the EU was very slow in ordering vaccines; they clearly had the idea of saving money rather than ordering as many different products from different firms and then see which one comes first, and there is no danger to order too many, because if you have too much you can give it all the other countries in need.  So this was clearly not done by [European Commission President Ursula] Von Der Leyen; she’s now targetted even in {Bildzeitung}—this tabloid—that she did not order, and that the result is in Germany, it’s going very slowly; in other countries in Europe, it’s going very slowly, and this is a reflection of the same austerity  mentality which is really—I hope it shortens the career of Von Der Leyen, because she is just the wrong person to be in any leading position in Europe.

The real problem, however, is what the head of the African Union and President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa said, who pointed to the fact that so far the rich countries have mostly cared for themselves, and he said there will be no solution to the pandemic as long as one country is not having the necessary vaccines.  And Tedros from the World Health Organization said that the behavior of the rich countries so far, which got themselves 95% of all the vaccine orders, and leaving the so-called third world with only 5%, that this is a “catastrophic moral failure.”  One can only hope that this is being remedied as quickly as possible, because it now turns out that the idea that Africa was having relatively little problems with COVID-19, turns out not to be true, and as we suspected, it was only due to non-reporting, little testing; and now it comes out through a study from a university in Zambia, that especially the age group between 19 and 59 years of age have the highest mortality rate, {and} children! Now, as we also know there are new strains in Britain, in South Africa, and in Brazil, which are much more lethal and also spread more quickly; and there are now medical experts warning that what could happen is that one of these new mutations, new variants, could develop to become vaccine-resistant. If that would happen, then we would be in a very dramatic situation.

So I think there is not yet a recognition, at least not in any way necessary, of the leading institutions, to really understand that we are in a race against time, because it is very clear that the economic collapse coming from the COVID pandemic, is going to ruin a lot of industrial substance. For example, in Germany and other European countries, a lot of small and medium firms are not going to make it.  The situation now, where a possible lockdown will start again in a hard way in France, or it has started already, with lockdowns from 6 in the evening until morning, people are not allowed to leave their house; so a lot of economic hardship will follow, and a lot of substance will be destroyed. 

So either there is a change in the attitude, that people understand that you have to start to build modern health systems in every single country, or this cannot be controlled, that rethinking has not yet started in a serious fashion and that’s what the Schiller Institute is campaigning for.  Because unless we take this crisis to really start to overcome the underdevelopment of the developing countries in a serious way, there is no guarantee that this will not lead to a major crisis.  And I think Putin, in his speech in Davos reflected that dimension very clearly, that out of chaos you could have a global catastrophe.

The ILO just reported that the loss of jobs in 2020 was equivalent to 255 million fulltime jobs. I don’t think that covers all the shadow industry jobs, but that’s a significant number, and they expect another 130 million losses in 2021, and they say this does not yet take into account the likelihood of a fourth and a fifth wave.  So that all makes clear that we have to change the whole situation:  I cannot see a willingness right now on the side of the central banks in Europe, the United States, to go in that direction, but that will be a subject of mobilizing the population, because if these institutions are unable to reform—and you know, if you look at the situation, with the riots having now spread to Holland, where for four days you had massive riots in 10 cities; last week we had the same thing in Denmark.  This was not unlike the mob which stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 in the United States, and if you now have more job losses, more unemployment, the danger of blackouts—we have a huge danger that if this Green energy policy is implemented that you will have blackouts leading to complete chaos, I think this could really lead to major social upheavals, and the only way to avoid that would be to really go for our program, starting with the health system in every country.  And we have published this program for 1.5 billion productive new jobs, which have to be created [https://larouchepub.com/special_report/2020/larouche-plan-for-1500000000-jobs.pdf]. And despite the coronavirus condition there has to be a rethinking and there has to be a vision for the population to see the light at the end of the tunnel, that even if some of these things will be very difficult to implement under coronavirus conditions, I think it is important that there is a willingness by the leading institutions to address that.  

Xi Jinping in his speech in Davos also mentioned that he wants to strengthen the G20, because he said that that is the institution to build up global governance—well, that is important because as long as you have some countries at least in that combination that go in a different direction, it is important.  And just to mention it, China has had last year 550,000 new patents, which is an increase of 17%; that is because the Chinese government put a lot of emphasis on science and technological progress innovation, and there was just a study by a German university that found that the civil law in China is compatible to Western standards, essentially because they took the entire canon of civil law in Germany as a model to write their Chinese civil law.  So the university study comes to the conclusion that this an absolutely Western standard and there’s no reason to complain about it.

 And I think there has to be a rethinking about a lot of the prejudices in the anti-China/anti-Russia campaign, because if we want to solve the problems of the world, we have to stop geopolitical confrontation and find a way of putting our forces together to address these urgent questions which face all of humanity.

 SCHLANGER:  As far as being stuck in the old paradigm, we have this fight continuing in the United States against Donald Trump, with the impeachment bill from the House moving to the Senate for trial.  This is dividing the country once again.  It’s being used to create the kind of confrontation that would serve as a pretext for more crackdowns, more censorship. You mentioned that you are somewhat excited, or intrigued by what Tulsi Gabbard said, and also what Putin had said about this.  What’s your thought about what’s going on with this impeachment?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE:  Well, there was the vote in the Senate where only five Republican Senators voted with the Democrats, so the impeachment trial will start on Feb. 9th, but I think it has almost zero chance to succeed, because they would need 17 Republican Senators to go along, and there are already now many voices that there is no basis in the Constitution to even do that, because the Constitution does not allow for private persons to be impeached.  So you can impeach a sitting President, but not a former President.  So that is a big argument. And the whole campaign is ludicrous in the first place, because Trump did not incite violence and the mob to storm the Capitol, despite the narrative which is being put out by the media and the Democrats.  He gave a speech to his supporters!  And then said, “let’s move down Pennsylvania Avenue,” and “we have to take back the country”—I mean, these are normal things to say; many politicians have said many things like that.  So it’s a complete orchestration, and to somehow now criminalize 75 million Trump voters is also not going to work. 

It is the danger of a polarization, naturally, and what Tulsi Gabbard said is quite to the point. She said that the mob which stormed the Capitol, this is dangerous, but she said also dangerous is the John Brennans and the Adam Schiffs and the Big Tech, but they’re more dangerous because they’re more powerful.

 Now, also Putin, in his speech at the World Economic Forum pointed to the role of the Big Tech that they have more power than the elected governments, and I think this is something which should be of concern to everybody, because if these Big Tech firms can allow people to say one thing, and not allow another thing, make total censorship, this is really dictatorship.  And I think the population must be mobilized against it, and governments around the world must take measures to put these high tech  firms under control and under government regulation.  And Biden, if he doesn’t do it, will be discredited by that as much, as well.

 SCHLANGER: Also a reflection of the old paradigm is the effort to continue with sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project, which is very far advanced in terms of the U.S., the U.K., NATO, and there’s a reaction growing against this from Germany.  What do you think is going to happen?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: I think it’s going to be built. I think it’s only few kilometers left.  They restarted the completion of it, and the government spokesman of Merkel, Steffen Seibert said that this is not something which concerns the government, because it’s a private contract between private firms, and even the Environment Minister Svenja Schulze said these were contracts which were made many years ago, and it would put into question the reliability of Germany as a partner in any kind of trade deal if they would now stop it.  So I think this is interesting, and as I said, I do see baby steps of self-assertion on the side of the German government, and I think it is a tendency in Europe as well; and one could only hope that it would continue.

SCHLANGER: A lot of what you’ve been discussing today Helga, is related to the fight between the old paradigm and the new paradigm, which I think is becoming more obvious to a large number of people.  You’ve been at the center of this fight, you’ve made it the cause of the Schiller Institute to push for a move into a new paradigm, outside of the realm of the false choices that are presented by geopolitics, with neoliberalism.  What can you say to the viewers, that they need to do, to make sure we get this push for a new paradigm?

ZEPP-LAROUCHE:  We have a program. The program was in large part authored by my late husband Lyndon LaRouche, who said that we need absolutely to have a New Bretton Woods system which has one main goal: to overcome the underdevelopment of the developing sector. Now that happens to be exactly what Franklin D. Roosevelt intended the Bretton Woods system to be, which it never became, because he died before it could be established. But I think that there is the potential to have a global system which allows the development of all nations.  It is the sign of the times. 

The fact that China, Russia, about 150 other nations are going in this direction, I think this is something which is a hopeful development, and I don’t think the efforts by the Biden Administration to go back to the old confrontation with China, with Russia—well, the only thing it can bring is World War III, in which case, nobody would enjoy it, not Biden, and not anybody of his cabinet.  They have no way of crushing this ferment without causing World War III.  Now, that’s a real danger and I don’t want to belittle it for one second.  But I think that if people really think about, there is a way to solve this problem, and that is to do exactly what the American System of economy was, in the beginning of the American republic, what the German economic miracle was in the postwar period, to go back to scientific and technological progress, to go in the direction of increase of productivity, the Four Laws which were designed by my late husband, to go for global Glass-Steagall, get rid of the casino economy; implement national bank in every single country on the planet; then go in the direction of a credit system, cooperate in long-term development projects—it would bring the whole world out of this crisis! 

And we have reached a point, where one year after the pandemic, at a point where it’s very clear the economy is in a very dangerous collapse phase, I mean: Are human beings capable of reflecting on the mistakes which were made and correcting them? I fundamentally think, absolutely yes.  It’s just that we need the kind of discussion, how should we shape the world for this coming period, for the next hundred years, and then take the vision of having the idea of peaceful cooperation.  Why don’t we just allow the different systems, if a country wants to have a different social system and is not trying to impose that on another one, why should we not accept that?  Accept sovereignty, accept non-interference into the internal affairs, accept the different social system.  Can we not have an alliance of republics working for the common good of all of humanity?  That’s what John Quincy Adams was advocating, and I think that that is exactly what is needed now. 

And I also think this must be combined with a cultural renaissance: I think we have to realize in the West that this exaggerated liberalism, where you replace moral standards with the principle of everything is allowed, the more pornographic, the more violent, the more perverse something becomes, the more interesting it becomes—that was a wrong way!  And I think we have lost our way in the West, and all we have to do, is to do the same thing that China is doing, what Russia is doing; they went back to their own high traditions of their high culture.  There is a big revival of 5,000 years of tradition in China.  Russia is doing the same thing.  And we could do the same thing as well!  In Europe, we have a {beautiful} European Classical period, we have the Italian Renaissance, the Andalusian renaissance, we have the Ecole Polytechnique in France; we have the German Classical period. In America, you have the principles of the American Revolution, the American System of economy.  We have so many wonderful traditions which we could revive and be an absolute important shaping factor in the future world.  And I think we have to mobilize the population to rally around that, and then solutions are possible.

So I want to invite all of you, our viewers, to join with us, and help us to get the world out of this crisis.

SCHLANGER: Well, Helga, thank you for your insights, and your optimism in this moment of pessimism, confusion, demoralization is really refreshing, and it ought to be something that will bring people to The LaRouche Organization.  We welcome all of viewers to go to the websites of The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute, where you can much more in-depth material on what Helga has been discussing today.

Helga, thanks for joining us this week, and we’ll see you next week.

ZEPP-LAROUCHE: Till next week!
