As the LaRouche Oasis Plan begins to be discussed as the physical economic alternative to the systematic destruction and depopulation of Gaza, students, faculty and citizens of the United States, disengaging from the perpetual war practices of the Anglo-American establishment, have thrown the rigged American Presidential electoral scene into turmoil. In response, Wall Street and the City Of London have decided to shut anyone and anything opposed to their plans for more war and genocide. Now, for Americans, the vigorous defense of the United States Constitution—not merely the First Amendment, but the Constitution’s Preamble—requires, at this moment, that all other “issues,” including those of legitimate concern, be placed in the background. The militarization process that appeared, in one guise, on January 6, 2021, now appears in another, on American college campuses. In this most recent attempt to use the “armed might of the state” to police, not only the thoughts, but the very communication of any ideas that oppose our decades-long, trillions dollar policy of perpetual warfare—expressed most recently in the recent Congressional vote on Ukraine and Israel—they have revealed that another, alien policy, not in the interests of the United States—or Ukraine, or Israel, for that matter—is at work. To whose benefit is the present policy of perpetual war? From whence does it originate? And how do the present conflict in Southwest Asia, the NATO/Russia war in Ukraine, the pending confrontation with China in the Pacific, and the earlier disastrous “failed wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan, reflect the same policy, of the same alien forces—a policy which, if unchecked, must lead to thermonuclear war? Who is sparking these wars, and how can ideas, like the LaRouche Oasis Plan, reverse this process? We must answer these questions, and then we must stand up and tell the truth, to set the nation free Speakers: Harley Schlanger and Cliff Kiracofe

Though fighting for a just cause is often well-intentioned, and even noble, we are warned by Paul in the famous letter to the Church at Corinth that “though I give my I body to be burned, and hath not charity, I am nothing.” The poet Friedrich Schiller contended that it is through Beauty that one proceeds to true Freedom.” In supporting the cease-fire and reconstruction of Palestine/Gaza, and breaking from the United States Congress and the Biden’s Administration’s support for mass murder, now being carried out by students from scores of American campuses and activists from Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, Code Pink and others for Gaza, the world has been inspired by the glimpse of the beauty of the now-partially-awakened American people. People around the world are overjoyed. They have seen Beauty reflected in the refusal by tens of thousands of students, faculty and citizens to condone the mass murder of innocent people in Gaza, including those about to be slaughtered in Rafah in the next days. This university-based battle is not only against both the genocide that has occurred, but that upcoming in Rafah—a genocide condoned by Wall Street and the City Of London, who are the hand actually throwing Israel’s psychotic hand-grenade, Benjamin Netanyahu, for that purpose. Yet, there is a higher ground, that of cultural warfare, which is the actual domain where the next phase of the battle for the continuance of human civilization will be won, or lost, over the several months, or years at the most. This goes beyond Gaza, to Ukraine, China, and other conflicts, acknowledged and unacknowledged. Lawfully, it is in the domain of music and poetry, that the battle is presently most lethally conjoined. First, there was the racialist banning of Russian performers and music at various music venues in the West. Now, with the recent announcement that conductor Kerri Lynn-Wilson intends to tour the world performing a butchered version of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, substituting the word “Slava” for “Freude” —“Glory!” For “Joy”—as a supposed way of “standing up against Putin,” the 1930s Nazi practice of appropriating Beethoven for propagandistic ends has re-emerged. This cannot, and will not be tolerated. Tonight’s Fireside Chat, held in the shadow of both President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon LaRouche, will propose what people, who still believe in freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, and freedom of advocacy, can and must do to roll back the new fascist onslaught on the human mind, a form of “menticide” which must be vigorously confronted and defeated. In only this way can we rebuild Gaza, rebuild the United States, and rejoin the human race’s commitment toward progress and an upwardly advancing humanity, a humanity whose highest expression is in the actual words and music of Friedrich Schiller and Ludwig von Beethoven.

April 27th, 2024

The campus revolt in the United States against the vote for depopulation wars in Ukraine and Gaza/Palestine has stunned America’s political establishment. Disgraced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for censorship on American campuses, and speaker Mike Johnson, following his lead, appeared at Columbia University, on an invisible leash, to echo Netanyahu’s directive. Their concern is the fracturing of Jewish community on support for Israel, in both the Democratic and Republican Parties, but far more importantly, the dissent from support for the Military/Industrial/Congressional/Intelligence/MEDIA/Academic/ Think-Tank complex. This is the present “secret government” of the United States, which is impenetrable to the wishes or demands of the Americans electorate. But is that true? In fact, unity of the disparate sectors of the dissenting pro-peace, pro-technological progress and pro-American forces in this country would shatter the fragile power of the “War Party” and the MICIMATT apparatus. To do this, these forces must present positive alternatives to the war-mongering depopulaters. The LaRouche Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia can be matched with a similar plan for the United States, such as a transcontinental high-speed and magnetically levitated rail development corridor, recommitting America to the construction of new, productive cities along its route. This means new powerCan $91 billion be “found” for that, the same way that it was found for purposes of new mass murder through war—war that will inevitably lead to thermonuclear extinction of the very fools that applauded it on the floor of Congress? An American independent movement, electoral and non-electoral, must make such Oasis Projects, in Southwest Asia and in the United States a reality now, if we are to survive. Speakers: Bill Jones, Dennis Speed, Dave Christie

In two ways, the vote of Thursday at the United Nations was momentous. On the one hand, the 140 nations that have already recognized Palestine, representing billions of people, and represented by members of the UN Security Council, endorsed Palestine’s call for UN membership. On the other hand, the United States disgraced the legacy of the American Revolution by voting against seating Palestine. What must the American citizenry do now—what more can the world do—as the United States Congress convenes to ram through tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine, Israel, and a new pre-war on China, and as the flashpoints for thermonuclear war increase? Speakers: Mike Robinson, Harley Schlanger

Join us tonight at 9pm EDT!

Though wars and rumors of wars cloud the world’s horizons, these things do not limit the human imagination. The electric response to the April 8 solar eclipse throughout North America, with tens of thousand gathering in Indianapolis, Dallas, Cleveland, and other cities in other Mexico and the United States, revealed the excitement about and thirst for understanding the way that the world really works. In contrast to the carnage in Gaza and Ukraine, and the wretched priorities that value war production over scientific exploration, the LaRouche Organization’s founder, economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche insisted that physical economy was all about humanity mastering the laws of the universe, in an intelligible and reproducible form, not only to make people prosperous, but to discover and even advance the harmony of the universe itself. The most important natural resource for the successful transformation of the universe known to us, is the human mind. Therefore, the destruction or elimination of people, through what Anglophile Bertrand Russell called “methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary,” is not only a crime against humanity and humanity’s potential—it is a crime against the the universe itself. The world, the universe, needs more people, and always will. Mankind, as scientist Kraft Ehricke observed, is charged with an {extra-terrestrial imperative} to spread life, human and non-human, to lifeless planets, solar systems and galaxies, and to discover and explore the different forms and possibilities of life that may exist in the billions of solar systems and, indeed, galaxies known to exist. On the eve of the Schiller Institute’s April 13 conference, The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia” Speakers Jason Ross and Robert Castle will discuss why optimism is a scientific principle, why the science of physical economy proves the human mind is the primary source of wealth in the universe, and why the Malthusian destruction of human life through war and other means is immoral, wasteful and a crime against both humanity and non-humanity .

In one week, the International Schiller Institute will hold its conference, “The Oasis Plan:The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia.” While atrocities mounted in Gaza and the West Bank, and others occurred in Haiti and Sudan. Those crimes, however gruesome, are, in comparison, as nothing. The greatest crime in history—thermonuclear war—is about to be committed, unless world direction is immediately shifted. Ukraine, as U.S.Senators and Russian diplomats know, is the flashpoint for a potential nuclear war. This nuclear threat comes, not from Russia, but from the desperate, bankrupt NATO forces that are deploying Ukraine to continue, but know that they cannot possibly win. Humanity itself is on the line, as people willfully forget history, or destroy it, as in the looting of the Baghdad Museum in 2003, the destruction and theft of thousands of manuscripts at Timbuktu in 2012-13, and the sacking of Haiti’s National Library this past week. A cultural “New Dark Age” is upon us. The people of the trans-Atlantic’s sector must put down their drugs, turn away from their sports gambling, get off their cell phones and start talking to their neighbors about how to take back the United States government, and other governments. We must defeat those forces that are responsible for 9/11, for the Nordstream Pipeline explosion, and for Russia’s Crocus Theater massacre. That is the pre-requisite for an Oasis Plan, and for a plan out of otherwise-inevitable planetary destruction in the short term. Speaker: Harley Schlanger

Speakers: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity members Larry Johnson and Kirk Wiebe. Responding to the first question on her weekly webcast, “How close are we to world war?” International Schiller institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche said:

“Well, I’m not in a position to say how close we are, but we are very close. Because both of these so-called regional crises, in Southwest Asia and Ukraine, have the immediate potential of escalation—intentional or not, by escalation or not…. As of today, Russian intelligence sources state that they believe the nations of Ukraine, the United States, and Great Britain to have played roles, direct or indirect, in the Crocus terrorist incident last month, in which 137 people were murdered. What would have happened had the United States, in the aftermath of 9/11, stated that it suspected that Russia had played a role in the destruction of the World Trade Center and Pentagon? Israel, unprovoked directly attacked the nation of Iran this week. Can that trigger a war that becomes World War III? Voices of sanity must prevail, before it is too late.

On Friday, March 30, former CIA analyst and member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) addressed the 43rd consecutive online weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition. That meeting began with an acknowledgment of the recent VIPS memorandum, titled, “The French Road to Nuclear War,” warning of the disastrous consequences of French President Emmanuel Macron’s insane threat to unilaterally deploy 20,000 French troops to Ukraine. McGovern, in his remarks, had this to say: “I remind you, I was alive during the genocide of Jews in Germany during World War II. What happened? Well, for the most part, with very few exceptions, the German people docilely said, “Well, as long as it’s not me, just my Jewish neighbors,” they acquiesced in it. Was there anyone of moral standing who spoke out against this genocide and against this war? Very few. No voice from Rome; no voice from the Catholic Church or the evangelical Lutheran Church in Germany. There were voices—Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one. There’s another one who maybe I could use as an example. His name was Albrecht Haushofer; perhaps one or two of you have heard of him…” Albrecht Haushofer was shot by the Gestapo for his opposition to the Nazi regime. As the wardens picked his lifeless corpse off the floor, a sonnet, entitled “Schuld” fell out of his pocket. Ray read this sonnet to the IPC: “Doch schuldig bin ich. Anders als Ihr denkt! (I’m guilty, but it’s not what you’re thinking.) Ich musste früher meine Pflicht erkennen, Ich musste schärfer Unheil Unheil nennen, (I should have earlier recognized my conscience. I should have spoken out much more strongly against evil.) Mein Urteil hab ich viel zu lang gelenkt... (I put off my judgment far too long.) Ich hab gewarnt — nicht hart genug ... (I did warn, but not enough) Nicht genug und [schaf genug] Und heute weiss ich was ich schuldig war. (And today, I recognize what I was guilty of.)” Will citizens of the Transalantic nations, witnessing the full-on escalation to nuclear war, and a deliberate genocide and famine in Southwest Asia by a fanatical, militaristic Israeli government, put themselves in the same position as Haushofer did? Or, will a crisis of conscience break out, within the immediate days, weeks and months? Join Bill Jones, of Executive Intelligence Review Magazine, and Prof. Clifford Kiracofe, President of the Washington Institute for Peace and Development, for today’s Manhattan Town Hall discussion on the urgent strategic questions facing us today.

“The unspeakable is regularly said in Gaza. From teenage girls hoping they are killed; to being told a child is the last survivor from their entire family. Such horror is no longer unique here…As we heard yesterday: the (United Nations Security Council) ceasefire must be substantive, not symbolic. The hostages must go home. The people of Gaza must be allowed to live…”This was the partial testimony of James Elders, spokesman of UNICEF, at a March 26 press conference in Rafah. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, said yesterday: “The UN Security Council vote is mandatory, but that is then the question —if Israel will regard that as obligatory to follow. And if not, the question is what other measures must be taken? In any case, we can only suggest to change the entire outlook: That is why the Oasis Plan conference must be a really powerful intervention, and I think what you can do is to help us to build the conference.” Tonight‘s discussion is devoted to accomplishing that objective. It occurs on the day called by some Christians Holy Thursday, and Maunday Thursday by others. It could also be called the Day of Gethsemane. On that Thursday night, 2000 years ago, the “prophet without honor in his own country,” Jesus, in an agonizing moment of decision, became one with his mission to mankind.”O my Father, if this cup cannot pass from me, but that I must need drink thereof, Thy will be fulfilled.” The “imitation of Christ” means to accept the cup, in our time, as Martin Luther King did in his lonely opposition to the unjust war in Vietnam. Today, Gaza is the world’s Gethsemane. Tonight’s presentation will be given by Dennis Speed

Thinking The World’s Way Out of Nuclear War The world is now on a fast path to a civilization-destroying thermonuclear war. Whatever the origins of Friday’s paramilitary terrorist attack on a concert hall in Russia, with at least 133 people now known dead, it is undeniable that, as with the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, Russia now considers itself to be in a state of war with NATO. Should it be determined that the attack on Russia yesterday originated with NATO forces—and let it be noted that Ukraine has so far denied any role in it—Russia is determined, in the words of its recently re-elected President Putin, that “All perpetrators, organizers and masterminds behind this crime will get just and inevitable punishment. Whoever they are, whoever guides them. I repeat: we will identify and punish everyone who stands behind the terrorists, who prepared this atrocity, this attack on Russia, on our people.” A responsible voice must immediately emerge from within the United States, strong and clear enough to represent a counter-pole to NATO’s mad drive to World War Three. On this, the 41st anniversary of the adoption of Lyndon LaRouche’s solution to nuclear war, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)by the United States Presidency, a “Red Alert” mobilization of this, and all nations, must be undertaken in time—for, as Dr. Martin Luther King said, “In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.” Guest Speaker: Steven Starr

On Sunday, March 17, at the conclusion of the Russian Presidential elections, Vladimir Putin , in responding to a reporter’s question regarding French President Macron’s FEB. 26 comments that the deployment of NATO ground troops in Ukraine could not be ruled out, said: “It is clear to everyone that this will be one step away from a full-scale World War III. I think hardly anyone is interested in this.” But hardly anyone, is not no one. If we wait, in our present march toward thermonuclear war, to “see what happens,” we will be too late to stop it. We need action, and action now, by independent, cognitively tough citizens that will act, now to give the world the sort of alternative indicated in the LaRouche Oasis Plan, and the actions, including candidacies, designed to bring this about. Speakers: Diane Sare, Jose Vega

Now, it can no longer be denied: There are, in 2024, no problems in the United States, or in any other trans-Atlantic nation, which are not international. Elections, such as the recent Rochdale election of George Galloway in Britain, or the “uncommitted” vote in the Democratic Party primaries in Michigan and Minnesota, have been used as referenda, by an otherwise-ignored citizenry, on the disastrous NATO “regime change” practices and perpetual wars of the last 25 years. There are also no solutions to the core problems of the United States, or any other nation, which are not international. Conferences such as the April 13 Schiller Institute conference, “The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia” must bring together independent forces to outline the principles for a new strategic and development architecture to avoid World War III. Ending useless, wasteful wars can be done, by deploying the productive powers of labor and technology of the trans-Atlantic nations, together with that of the BRICS-Plus nations and the “Global South,” for a scientific and cultural revolution in physical economy. In this way, we can reverse the “clash of civilizations” geopolitics that should have died when the Berlin Wall fell, but has continued, zombie-like, in the form of the NATO which should have died with it. Speakers: Harley Schlanger, Mike Robinson

As with Germany in the 1920s, today, in the 2020s, NATO is deploying to attempt to bail our hopelessly-indebted financial system out, using war to depopulate and loot the whole world, in the name of “saving the planet”—which means saving the financial system, which cannot be done. “Crazy” wars, “crazy” acts of genocide, “crazy” presidents and prime ministers, “crazy” self-destructive “progressive” ideas abound. The LaRouche Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, for joint advanced water, power, and infrastructure projects, is the polar opposite of the Henry Kissinger/Madelaine Albright “geopolitical playbook,” the only outlook available to the morally-unfit United States State Department and British Foreign Office. To understand how the United States and Europe were bamboozled into their present, appalling, genocide-supporting state, we must examine the underlying axioms of our behavior. For example, how and why did the acquittal of Nazi Finance Minister Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht at Nuremberg on October 1, 1946, actually occur? Was it America’s Allen and John Foster Dulles—the same Dulles brothers that would later head the CIA and the State Department—that arranged that acquittal of Schacht, whom they had supported and sponsored from 1922? Speakers: Cynthia Rush, Richard Freeman

Can astronomy, astrophysics and space exploration chart humanity's successful upward exit from Self-Extinction? What is the true nature of mankind? Are we merely earthlings? The implications of the answer to those questions point the way to how we can solve not only all problems before us on Earth today, but chart a path for unending progress. Speakers: Megan Dobrodt and Jose Vega

Join Ray McGovern, Jose Vega, and Bob Baker tonight! Watch at 9pm EDT on Rumble or dial-in: (267) 807-9605, access code 536662# Tonight, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern begins tonight’s Fireside Chat on the significance of the latest developments in the NATO/Russia War, the welcome exit of Ukrainian Cookie Monster Victoria Nuland, and the killings and famine in Gaza; Independent Candidate for Congress Jose Vega will discuss his campaign for the LaRouche Oasis Plan, and meetings in Michigan and the Bronx which discussed this initiative; Finally, Schiller Institute Agriculture Commission head Bob Baker will update us on the international farmer mobilization against the ongoing trans-Atlantic shutdown of agriculture, and the intervention activity of the LaRouche Organization into that process.

The alarming utopian military escapades planned against Russia, exposed in the last days through various media, have shocked the world. They include the secret joint planning by several NATO militaries of a attack on the Kerch Bridge in Russia, an action that could in fact provoke an imminent war throughout Europe, quickly placing the world on the doorstep of thermonuclear war. The mad remarks of leaders from France, Great Britain, United States, and other areas of the Anglosphere, mean that there will be no likely reversal of direction that will come from a morally senile "elite." But the “heroics of despair, “witnessed in last Sunday’s self-immolation of airman, Aaron Bushnell, cannot do more than provoke normal men and women in our nations to recognize that they must “take arms against the sea of troubles that have merely surfaced in Gaza and Ukraine. The world requires a higher-ordered solution. There must be an alternative provided – and the LaRouche Oasis Plan is that alternative. But how will that alternative become the recognized, dominant approach in in the very nations whose leaders are provoking the world to a thermonuclear nightmare? SPEAKERS: Harley Schlanger, Gretchen Small

U.S. soldier Aaron Bushnell’s ultimate sacrifice has provoked a crisis of conscience, particularly among youth, regarding the policy of the United States in allowing 30,000 people in Gaza, nearly all of them civilians and half of them children, to die needlessly in war. Shortly after his death, New York congressional Candidate, Jose Vega, issued this statement: “Why do some of the best young people in our country, some of the most patriotic, now believe that they have no voice in our country, and no control over its actions actions, even if they have agreed to give their lives in its defense? Are they right? “U.S. Air Force member Aaron Bushnell, 25, died on Sunday after setting fire to himself outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. A video was posted online, showing Bushnell shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ while declaring that the United States would no longer be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. “We mourn serviceman Bushnell, but we must also act to give people a true, living alternative. "As an independent candidate for U.S. Congress in NY-15, I endorse American statesman and economist Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan for the immediate relief and economic development of the Gaza area, and in the greater region. Utilizing the most advanced technologies in science and industry, the region will be transformed from an arid desert, into a blossoming oasis, with plentiful water, energy, and irrigation for the millions of Israelis and Palestinians who will live side by side in peace." Only in this way can we, through the LaRouche Oasis Plan, bring back to life the humanity and mission of the United States. In this moment of nationally-stirred conscience, can an intensive, solution-based national and international discussion be provoked, to revive the faith of the best of Americans in their nation. All are invited to join us for tonight’s discussion. SPEAKERS: Anastasia Battle Bill Jones Cynthia Rush

The LaRouche Organization responds to the two decisive strategic questions posed by Russian President Putin in his Feb. 8, 2024 interview with Tucker Carlson. Why are the U.S. and European elites hell-bent on policies that are suicidal? “Do you even realize what is going on or not? Does anyone in the United States realize this. What are you doing?... Who’s there to talk to? I just don’t understand. We’re ready to talk, but with whom?” How can we prevent the world from splitting into two irreconcilable camps that could end up in nuclear war? “The world should be a single whole, security should be shared, rather than meant for the `golden billion.’ That is the only scenario where the world could be stable, sustainable and predictable. Until then, while the head is split into two parts, it is an illness, a serious adverse condition. It is a period of a severe disease that the world is now going through. But I think that … this could somehow be remedied.” Putin is asking the right questions and demanding a dialogue and deliberation with sensible voices in the West. Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche, in an IPC discussion yesterday, reiterated the tectonic shift taking place in the world, with the majority of nations turning towards multilateral institutions such as the BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Eurasian Economic Union, and African Union. A solution orientation can be provided for Southwest Asia, through the Oasis Plan for reconstruction of the desperate Gaza area, and greater region. Demonstrations against the ongoing genocide must take up this approach for greater economic development as the key to peace. The LaRouche Organization takes up that challenge in our Manhattan Project discussion today with Ibero-American Intelligence Director for EIR Dennis Small.

As the world becomes clearer and clearer that the mass killing in Gaza will not be stopped unless a fundamental change is introduced to end the conflict, it becomes essential to ask: what comes after the cease-fire? What joint process will be set in motion, involving what partners, to secure a durable peace, despite the atrocities committed and the bitterness of antagonists? Only a solution that quickly establishes a new economic platform, designed to employ, in principle, the entire population of Gaza in building, together with willing partners, Gaza as a center of trade, production and education, can succeed. This means, in turn, that several nearby nations must also be simultaneously drawn into such a process that will change the face of Southwest Asia forever, from a center of world conflict to a crossroads of world cooperation. What role must Americans aspire to play in such a process? Speakers: Diane Sare, Jose Vega, Kynan Thistlethwaite

There is much to be said of the brilliant fight Robert Kennedy waged in the wake of the assassination of his brother. In rereading, and in some sense re-living, that period of turmoil and unbelievable sublimity of Dr King and Robert Kennedy, one is reminded of what Ramsey Clark said of the Kennedy assassination. Clark, quoting JFK saying, "I look forward to the day America is no longer afraid of grace and beauty," replied, " I [Clark] immediately thought when he was shot that was the reason why!" We will discuss tonight the true mission of America, in the wake of the assasination of Robert Kennedy. The true mission of the Sare and Vega campaigns is to return America to the path of Grace And Beauty.
