Oct. 5, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Friday, Oct. 4, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the apt point that, “We are navigating uncharted military-political territory.” While his comments referred to the growing hostility between NATO and Russia, along with the utter collapse in diplomatic relations, the comment could also be applied to the world as a whole.

Oct. 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—“Where Is Israel Heading, When the Only Horizon Its Leaders Offer Is War?” asked the editorial in Israeli daily Haaretz. The same could be said of the leaders of every nation of today’s entire trans-Atlantic world, with a few notable exceptions. Indonesia’s President-Elect Prabowo Subianto recently pointed out that “We are witnessing heightened tensions, with global defense and strategy experts suggesting that we are on the brink of World War III…. History has shown that when powers seek to impose their will, wars erupt unexpectedly, as seen in World War I and II…. Thankfully, Indonesia has a strong tradition of non-alignment, and we will continue to uphold that position.”

Oct. 3, 2024 (EIRNS)—Today the Chief of Staff of Iran’s armed forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, explained for anyone who cared to hear, what their Tuesday, Oct. 1 attack on Israel was about: “After Martyr Haniyeh’s assassination, Iran went through a tough period of self-restraint amid repeated requests by the Americans and Europeans, who would ask us to exercise self-restraint so they would establish a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.” However, Israel’s constant provocations undermined the process, and the assassination of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah was the last straw. So, Bagheri explained that Tehran took a measured action: Iran targeted the “center for terrorism,” the Mossad spy agency; the Nevatim air base, which houses Israel’s F-35s; and the Hatzerim base, which had enabled the assassination of Nasrallah. Further, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in the hours after Iran’s Oct. 1 launching of missiles, clearly explained to European foreign ministers that Iran had sent its message, a lawful response, and that they were finished—unless Israel “plans retaliation.”

On Oct. 3, on Reunification Day in Germany, masses of Germans plan to protest in the streets to demand an end to Berlin's support of the NATO warfare, and to restore sovereignty and economic betterment in their country. Peace and security are based on economic development. 

Oct. 2, 2024 (EIRNS)—The world now stands on the brink of a U.S.-Russia nuclear war being triggered not only in the Ukraine theater, but in Southwest Asia as well.

Oct. 1, 2024 (EIRNS)—As of today, the United States is involved in hot warfare in Southwest Asia—not readiness, not contingency, but engagement. At nightfall today, local time, some 180-200 ballistic missiles were fired from Iran to Israel, in retaliation, according to the Tehran statement today, for Israel’s Sept. 27 assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Hezbollah, and other named leaders. Two U.S. destroyers, the USS Cole and the USS Bulkeley, fired 12 interceptors back at the missiles, joining in the Israeli defense.

Sept. 30, 2024 (EIRNS)—The evil war drive of the U.S.-backed Netanyahu Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Southwest Asia is heading into full-fledged regional combat, even to nuclear obliteration, as dramatically as is the crisis of the NATO-proxy warfare by Ukraine against Russia. This latter threat has not abated even though there so far is no formal, public approval by the U.S. for Ukraine to use deep-strike weapons into Russia. That remains pending.

Sept. 29, 2024 (EIRNS)—Whatever team is making decisions at the White House, this “collective Joe” grouping has, on two recent occasions, apparently turned down the opportunity to go full “flight-forward,” when confronted with the matter of firing Western long-range missiles deep into Russia. On Sept. 13, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer came to muscle Biden on the matter, and on Sept. 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attempted his unique form of charm on the White House. On both occasions, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had sent a loud and clear message the day before, that Moscow was in no mood to play games, where Ukrainian proxies have their “’label” on the launching of U.S., British and French long-range missiles deep into Russia.

Sept. 28, 2024 (EIRNS)—When it comes to the world’s hottest of hot spots, peace cannot be created from within the region. Only a shift in global affairs can prevent the escalation of crises which will otherwise lead to the destruction of all life on Earth through thermonuclear warfare.

Sept. 27, 2024 (EIRNS)—As has become painfully obvious over the recent period, Western leaders who have traded their souls for a place at the table of the Anglo-American imperium are standing in opposition to peace. On Friday, Sept. 27, a group of 20 nations founded the “Friends of Peace” group on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Headed by China and Brazil, and centered around their “six common understandings” to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict, these nations insisted that more fighting and weapons is not the pathway to peace. As China’s top diplomat Wang Yi said at the event: “It took time for other people to understand that other paths don’t lead to peace.” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian claimed that fully 110 nations are supportive of their initiative.

Sept. 26, 2024 (EIRNS)—Russia’s proposed new nuclear doctrine, presented yesterday by President Vladimir Putin, is targeted directly at the predominant “Anglosphere” fantasy, that they can use nuclear blackmail against Russia, putting missiles closer and closer to reach of Moscow, but incurring no risk to London or Washington. Moscow, in this fantasy, is supposed to play along with the narrative that non-nuclear countries are really the ones launching long-range missiles deep into Russia.

Sept. 25, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Wednesday Sept. 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced proposed revisions of Russia’s standing doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons, which significantly lower the threshold for their use—at exactly the moment that new military action by the United States and NATO, acting through Ukraine, is about to cross that threshold. Unless Washington’s policy of seeking the strategic destruction of Russia is changed immediately, the world stands at the brink of global thermonuclear warfare.

Sept. 24, 2024 (EIRNS)—Declarations and speeches of an unusual importance were made on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the opening of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly Debate. (That did not include the embarrassment of President Biden’s troubled remarks.) While the threat of thermonuclear war palpably loomed over the UN proceedings, addressing that threat in its true form required a strategic upending of the “masters of war,” to seize the moral high-ground before the “collective Zelenskyy/collective Biden” show could gain traction.

Sept. 23, 2024 (EIRNS)—Netanyahu’s goal appears to be to draw Iran and Hezbollah into an escalated conflict, by goading them into action through a series of increasingly provocative attacks, including assassinations, destruction of diplomatic facilities, pager explosions that caused many indiscriminate injuries and deaths, and now a series of attacks on southern Lebanon that have left hundreds dead and over a thousand wounded in one day. (The assault was swiftly denounced by Brazil.)

Sept. 22, 2024 (EIRNS)—Many are baffled at how the seemingly “civilized” West has arrived at the current state it exists in today. Although likely an underestimate, it is now reported that the U.S. homeless population exceeds 650,000. Add to this the rate of drug addiction and overdose, which has killed hundreds of thousands over the past 20 years; the amount of train derailments—among those trains and railroads that still exist; the skyrocketing national debt and the far more dangerous though not discussed problem of financial derivatives. To these a dozens of other specifics could be added from across the U.S. and Europe, all illustrating in gruesome detail the collapse of the trans-Atlantic system.

Sept. 21, 2024 (EIRNS)—The week of high-profile events in and around New York involving heads of state and government, and others, at the United Nations has already begun. The UN General Assembly General Debate of spokesmen for 134 nations will run Tuesday, Sept. 24 through Sept. 30. The UN’s pre-programmed Summit for the Future runs Sept. 22-23. The UN Security Council has three special sessions.

Sept. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—“There’s no other issue today that is more important than preventing nuclear war. And we almost had one last week.” That is how former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter started off Friday’s meeting of the International Peace Coalition. This is not being “alarmist,” Ritter insisted—“If you are not scared to death, then you’re the problem, I’m not the problem.”

Sept. 19, 2024 (EIRNS)—It’s a simple argument, or fantasy. If you never flinch, and just keep bluffing your opponent, doubling- and tripling-down on threats, sooner or later they will have to bend to your will.

Join tonight’s LaRouche Organization Fireside Chat to find out how you can help drive the United States, and maybe even Britain, sane, before NATO drives the world off the thermonuclear cliff.

Sept. 18, 2024 (EIRNS)—For 67 straight weeks, the International Peace Coalition (IPC) has been warning, and organizing, and meeting about the overriding and immediate danger of nuclear war facing the entire planet—a danger most painfully visible in the Ukraine and Southwest Asia theaters. For 67 weeks, IPC initiator Helga Zepp-LaRouche has been pointing to the breakdown collapse of the City of London and Wall Street “unipolar” system as the underlying cause of that war danger, and systematically elaborating on the solution to the existential crisis: a new security and development architecture based on the principles underlying the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.
