Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into a law a bill extending the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) until February 5, 2026. “The Federal Law ratifies the Agreement on Renewing the Treaty between Russia and the United States on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms dated April 8, 2010; the Agreement was concluded on January 26, 2021 between Russia and the United States in the form of an exchange of notes,” the Kremlin press service said in a statement published on its website.“Renewing the Treaty meets the national interests of the Russian Federation, makes it possible to maintain the transparency and predictability of strategic relations between Russia and the United States and to support global strategic stability; it will have a beneficial effect on the international situation, and contribute to the nuclear disarmament process.” the statement concludes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Asr00yyAV_cKtFeq3hq0ENgBjydLcLeM126-KQY6VMc/edit On Jan. 26, Moscow and Washington exchanged notes on extending New START. Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Joseph Biden of the United States welcomed the move in a telephone call. On the same day, Putin submitted a bill on extending New START for five years to the State Duma, which passed it. Commenting on Putin’s signing of the bill, a representative of the U.S. State Department told TASS on Jan. 29: “There are still steps that should be finalized. But we are optimistic that the extension [of the document], which obviously meets our national security interests, will be finalized before expiration [of the document] on Feb. 5.”

The United States has, as of Wednesday January 27, 2001, officially entered into the process of Green Finance, the “Great Reset” launched by Prince Charles, former Bank of England chief Mark Carney, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, and others, which is self- evidently a policy for mass-depopulation of the human race, at home and abroad. The Executive Order signed by the faux president, Joe Biden, “Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,” repeats several times, in different contexts, that the Administration will “immediately begin to develop a climate finance plan, making strategic use of multilateral and bilateral channels and institutions, to assist developing countries in implementing ambitious emissions reduction measures, protecting critical ecosystems, building resilience against the impacts of climate change, and promoting the flow of capital toward climate-aligned investments and away from high-carbon investments.” This will in fact “assist developing countries” to give up any hope of escaping from poverty, while imposing a level of austerity in the midst of a pandemic and famine which will cause millions of deaths in the short term.Most developing countries have grossly inadequate health systems. Most lack dependable electricity, even in the major cities, or have no electricity at all in large portions of their nations. The same is true for clean water. What little electricity they have is almost entirely from coal-fired power plants. Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, has launched a “Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites” to mobilize the resources—the health community, the military, and the agricultural community—within the United States and other nations, to provide an adequate health capacity for all the nations on Earth, both for moral reasons and for the obvious fact that defeating the pandemic requires defeating it everywhere. It is also self-evident that to have such an adequate health capacity also requires access to uninterrupted electricity, clean water, transportation, and other infrastructure. If the Executive Order prepared for Biden is implemented, none of this will be possible, and the dream of Prince Philip and his Malthusian son Charles for depopulating the Earth will be realized. It will also signal that the dream of the British Empire since the 18th Century—to retake control of the upstart republic in the Americas—will have been finally accomplished. Nor is this only a death sentence for poor countries—the Executive Order demands a “carbon pollution-free electricity sector no later than 2035” for the US. For those who imagine the US economy and its population can survive on solar panels and windmills, prepare for blackouts, economic disintegration, and social instability which will make the antifa/BLM rioting, arson, and looting last year, as well as the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol Building, pale by comparison. There is one big problem confronting the Malthusians, which has been identified by the new Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and by the UK’s self-appointed crusader against China, Nigel Farage, and others: China is building coal-fired plants—clean coal—both within China and all over the world, for the simple reason that, to transform poor nations into modern industrial states, as China has done in such a spectacular manner within its own borders, requires massive new infrastructure, which in turn requires exponential increases in electricity. While the Chinese are pursuing vast increases in nuclear power, and extensive research (with international cooperation) into the development of fusion power, they recognize that the human race must expand the use of fossil fuels in the meantime, to drive the world economy forward, to meet the vast needs of the world’s citizenry. The fake-science “Big Lie” that carbon, the food of our plant life, is overheating the Earth, repeated ad nauseum by Biden and his controllers, is widely believed, but with paper-thin understanding. As the devastating impact of the new fascist economy sinks in, and as both major political parties are in a state of dissolution, the serious members of the population will be looking for those who have been telling them the truth, and who know the required solutions. This is the time for the ideas of Lyndon LaRouche, his Four Laws, his Four Powers, and his “Think Like Beethoven.” For a glimpse of the fundamental role of classical culture in political progress, seen through the eyes of Abraham Lincoln and Robert Burns, watch the presentation on the subject by Gerald Belsky on the website of The LaRouche Organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PNWr39v1Bo&feature=emb_logo

Appearing Jan. 25 on Rachel Maddow’s show— where he and his host had earlier shared a chortle about Trump’s “stupidity” in taking on the intelligence community—the pathetic Sen. Chuck Schumer said “It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency.” Despite the Democratic control of both houses of Congress, Schumer urged the move so that Biden has the ability to “do many, many things under the emergency powers … that he could do without legislation.”

This morning, former Democratic presidential candidate and Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard tweeted her harshest warning yet, in her campaign insisting that President Biden, personally, must put a stop to the drive to rule through a police state:“The mob who stormed the Capitol to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country. But let us be clear, the John Brennan’s, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally-protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style ‘surveillance’ are also domestic enemies—and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob which stormed the Capitol,” she wrote. “President Biden, I call upon you & all of Congress from both parties to denounce efforts by Brennan & others to take away our civil liberties endowed to us by our Creator & guaranteed in our Constitution. If you don’t stand up to them now, then our country will be in great peril.” On Monday, she asked the President: “Have you declared martial law? Because that is what it’s starting to look and feel like” in Washington, D.C. Included in the tweet was her interview with Fox’s Watters World program, in which she denounced the completely unnecessary militarization of our nation’s capital for the inauguration, which sent the message to the American people and to the world that the U.S. capital was under siege. But worse, officials in Washington now say that they plan to keep an “enduring presence” of thousands of soldiers in our nation’s capital. This should disturb everyone, she said, as she emphasized with clear anger: an “enduring presence… That sounds a lot like what we have been doing overseas.”

Klaus Schwab had invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to give what he labeled the “keynote” to his World Economic Forum, this year devoted to Schwab’s “Great Reset” gambit. Given the economic role of China in the world today, which is still suffering the economic effects of the COVID crisis, President Xi, who also had addressed the Davos Forum, last year, used the opportunity to present China’s ideas on which direction the world should travel in its fight to overcome COVID and reviving world economic growth.Expressing confidence that the world would overcome the pandemic, Xi stated that things would not simply return to what they were pre-COVID, in his speech, which he titled, “Let the Torch of Multilateralism Light Up Humanity’s Way Forward.” The first task before mankind, he said, was to use macroeconomic policy “to bring the economy out of the woods.” “We need to shift the driving forces and growth models of the global economy and improve its structure, so as to set the course for long-term, sound and steady development of the world economy.” Secondly, countries will have to “abandon ideological prejudice and jointly follow a path of peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.” Countries are diverse and have diverse cultures and civilizations, Xi said, and that diversity should be respected since it is the source of the world’s strength. No should impose a “hierarchy” on civilizations or try to impose their system on others, he warned. Xi also said the world must come together to confront global challenges, citing COVID and climate change as two of the major issues. He elaborated some of his own vision for the world coming out of COVID, calling for adherence to the international rule of law, maintaining cooperation rather than confrontation, rejecting decoupling and a new “Cold War” mentality. and keeping pace with the changing times in international institutions and policies. He expressed China’s support for the World Health Organization, but called for a reform of the World Trade Organization and the international financial and monetary system “in a way that boosts global economic growth and protects the development rights, interests and opportunities of developing countries.” He also reiterated that China would remain open to the world and would contribute its own ideas to these reforms. And while saying that countries should live up to their commitments in the Paris agreements, and that China was committed to “peak” its carbon emissions by 2030 (the earlier date set for this) even though it would be difficult, he also gave an indication of their motivation. “We are doing this as a concrete action to uphold multilateralism and as a contribution to protecting our shared home and realizing sustainable development of humanity,” Xi said. The road China will take is not through imposing austerity on its people, but on rapidly moving forward with the development of science and technology. “Science, technology and innovation is a key engine for human progress, a powerful weapon in tackling many global challenges, and the only way for China to foster a new development paradigm and achieve high-quality development,” Xi said. “China will invest more in science and technology, develop an enabling system for innovation as a priority, turn breakthroughs in science and technology into actual productivity at a faster pace, and enhance intellectual property protection, all for the purpose of fostering innovation-driven, higher-quality growth.” In conclusion, Xi reiterated his call for a new type of international relations: “Zero-sum game or winner-takes-all is not the guiding philosophy of the Chinese people. As a staunch follower of an independent foreign policy of peace, China is working hard to bridge differences through dialogue and resolve disputes through negotiation and to pursue friendly and cooperative relations with other countries on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. As a steadfast member of developing countries, China will further deepen South-South cooperation, and contribute to the endeavor of developing countries to eradicate poverty, ease debt burden, and achieve more growth. China will get more actively engaged in global economic governance and push for an economic globalization that is more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial to all.” The text of President Xi’s speech is available in various Chinese sites: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-01-25/Full-text-Xi-Jinping-s-speech-at-the-virtual-Davos-Agenda-event-Xln4hwjO2Q/index.html Klaus Schwab and his “little green men” may think that they have the giant economy of China in their evil designs for a London financial takeover of the Green World Economy post-COVID through the “Green Reset,” because of the commitment of China to its own form of creating a “beautiful China.” But these “little men” with their little ideas have not quite understood that China’s view of the future world is somewhat different from their own and perhaps far grander than they could possibly imagine.

Unless we shift course, we are heading into the catastrophe of the pandemic going out of control, amidst famine, economic breakdown, and potential war. The world has passed the 100 million cases count of COVID-19, with over 2 million dead—statistics which are vastly understated. The problem isn’t this particular, nasty virus, or others lurking in wait, it’s the ideology preventing us from acting—those who are blind to it, and those who tolerate it. There are various expressions.For example, the “markets” ideology holds that patent rights, private profiteering, and competition must prevail, even unto death. Therefore, well over 95 percent of the vaccines so far are going to relatively well-off nations, and less than 5 percent to most of the rest of the world. This could be averted—with government involvement in licensing waivers, or fees, or other arrangements, for which there are precedents. But without collaborative action, the situation is hopeless. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Chairman of the African Union, warned of this yesterday, in his address to the World Economic Forum (WEF), at its “Davos Agenda” week-long conference. He said that no nation is safe, if all nations aren’t safe. The worst expression of ideology comes from the backers of the Davos Agenda platform of meetings and propaganda, established over 50 years ago to promote the interests of the neo-British Empire. Over the past many months they have promoted the evil “Great Reset” for the economy, post-COVID-19, of building low-tech power, food, water, and other systems, and taking down efforts to build high tech advancements in these areas, in the name of preventing climate change. Their current concepts promote so-called green policies toward a Net Zero CO₂ Emissions Future, which if carried through, will result in mass depopulation. Today’s sessions featured a swarm of big-name financial bums, such as Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and top officials from JP Morgan, the Central Bank of France, Standard Chartered, the IMF, and others. Their focus was the need to impose “universal metrics” on lending to economic activity, based on “ESG”—environment, social, and governance criteria, which they will set, in ways to downgrade the physical economy, inflate their own financial power, and loot the means to life for populations. BlackRock decrees that, in the name of “saving the planet,” financiers must now order governments regarding what they can and cannot do. In the new Biden Administration, there are two former top BlackRock officials in high office—Brian Deese, Chairman of the National Economic Council; and Wally Adeyemo, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Allow these networks and this thinking to continue, and we guarantee death by pandemic, starvation, or war. A step away from the brink was made today in the phone call between President Joe Biden, who initiated the call, and President Vladimir Putin. They concurred on extending the New Start treaty, of mutual arms limitations. Otherwise, according to the U.S. read-out, Biden chided Putin on contrived geopolitical charges, such as violating Ukraine, and mistreating Navalny. Another expression of sanity in international relations came from German Chancellor Angela Merkel today, in her address to the WEF event. She made headlines by siding with President Xi Jinping’s calls for a new system of multilateralism, in implicit opposition to President Biden’s efforts to form a global anti-China bloc. Xi gave a keynote at the Jan. 25 Davos Agenda opening. Merkel said, “The Chinese president spoke yesterday, and he and I agree on that. We see a need for multilateralism…I would very much wish to avoid the building of blocs. I don’t think it would do justice to many societies if we were to say this is the United States and over there is China, and we are grouping around either the one or the other. This is not my understanding of how things ought to be….” The Schiller Institute is taking aim directly at the green, killer “Great Re-set” ideology in a forthcoming reveal-all report by an international team. This goes in tandem with the economic report from May, 2020, “The LaRouche Plan to Reopen the U.S. Economy; The World Needs 1.5 Billion New, Productive Jobs.” Helga Zepp LaRouche, speaking with collaborators today, described these reports and related initiatives as part of putting upfront international collaboration to build a world health system. This is the lever we need to force a paradigm shift to change history for the common good.

EIR and the Schiller Institute will soon begin circulating a powerful exposé of the financial oligarchs’ so-called “Green Deal” scheme and the counter-strategy of financing high-technology development to defeat it. This report will build on the Special Report we published last May, “The LaRouche Plan To Reopen the U.S. Economy: The World Needs 1.5 Billion New Productive Jobs,” which is still the only full outline for really reversing the terrible economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic and defending against the next one.EIR’s Alert Service has warned that the five-day World Economic Forum “Davos Agenda” conference which began today involves a plan—the “Great Reset” or “Green Deal”—by British oligarchs to ban “dirty” modern energy technologies, and by City of London and Wall Street finance and the biggest central banks to get tens of trillions spent on “new,” actually primitive energy technologies. The process will reduce the human population, its liberty and its pursuit of happiness in ways very unpleasant for the billions of the “other 99%.” Only those around the British royals will admit that is their goal. With shock, the South African government learns that its new coal-power projects are cancelled, and it is under pressure to close down, in this decade, many of the coal-power plants which provide the lion’s share of electric power to the entire country. The world’s biggest fund management company, Wall Street’s BlackRock, Inc., pressured South Korea’s leading power engineering company, which was building the South African power complexes, to abandon them. Other projects in Indonesia and the Philippines come under the same threat. In Kenya, financing disappears for development of an oil reserve which is the key to a new railroad and port corridor connecting the north of the country to its neighbors. The President of Ghana comes under intense pressure to drop plans for a nuclear complex which was to be his development centerpiece. In London, government institutes arrogantly announce offers of $1 billion for all of Africa and India, as compensation for shutting down coal and oil power! In the United States, half of all the coal-power plants are closed in five years by BlackRock’s and Sir Michael Bloomberg’s “Beyond Coal” drive, in spite of President Donald Trump. In Germany or the United States, the continued imposition of a “Green New Deal” means tremendous prices for electric power, industrial chaos, blackouts…. But in Africa, India or any developing nation, it means population reduction by millions of unnecessary deaths. The reigning British Royal Malthusian Prince Charles and his teams of eco-advisors and City of London banking friends believe that now, after 30 years of “Earth summits,” Davos Conferences and Green New Deals, they have finally got a financial stranglehold against human numbers and the “dirty” fossil fuels and “dangerous” nuclear technologies which have allowed the human population to grow. They exult at the ousting of President Donald Trump who was the most powerful single adversary of their Green New Deal and had pulled the United States out of the economy-killing Paris Climate Accord. They think that now governments will not oppose them and big finance, “Green Finance” as they call it, will starve these most productive energy technologies of all capital to exist. Joe Biden is taking the White House into their camp. But we’ve also made clear that this plan can be stopped. To a great extent because of the influence of China, the Asian nations are opposing it; and so is Putin’s Russia. The World Economic Forum put out a strategy paper for their conference this week, which claimed that $30 trillion in capital funds are committed to “green finance”; that is, to preventing investment in fossil fuels or nuclear power. It supposedly will only invest for environmental, social and governance purposes—a lot of bulls—t. But just 0.8% of this “green finance,” they admitted, was in Asia! In effect, the Prince and his oligarchs are waging a European war on economic progress targeting Asia and Africa. Chinese banks are funding three-quarters of the coal-power projects in all developing countries, and while its leaders use the language of the Paris Climate Accord, China plans still to be producing half of its electric power from coal in 2050—with much of the other half from nuclear power plants. India and Russia are equally committed to coal power, nuclear power, the international crash program for fusion power that Putin called for in July 2018, and to space exploration and space science. We know how this kind of development can be financed without any green financiers or central banks—by creating Hamiltonian national banking institutions in each country. As a first task, build a modern healthcare and public health system in every country. We have to battle the Biden Administration for this policy of industrialization and development as the peerless American System economist Lyndon LaRouche conceived it. Set the Great Reset on its ear. Reject Biden’s ideas about “Earth Day” summits, because that’s playing the British oligarchy’s game. We need to fight for a conference to launch LaRouche’s “New Bretton Woods.” EIR’s forthcoming white paper will be the opening weapon for that fight.

With the benefit of hindsight—which of course is always 20:20, as the saying goes—you would have been optimistic. Or at least you should have been. Because out of the 14th-century Black Death, which nearly wiped out Western civilization altogether, came the 15th-century’s Golden Renaissance and the greatest flourishing of classical culture and science yet produced by Man. Don’t you wonder how that came about? Today we are in the throes of a pandemic which is sweeping the planet and will get worse in the short term. New strains of the coronavirus have begun to mutate; most national health systems are not equal to the task of keeping up with the disease and its victims; the COVID-19 policies of nearly every government in Europe and the Americas are in shambles because of their submission to Wall Street and the City of London austerity policies; and perhaps worst of all, there is growing irrationality in large parts of the population, who reject science in favor of organized lunacy such as the “Q” fraud and related games.On top of this, as Helga Zepp-LaRouche emphasized in a discussion with colleagues yesterday, there is the aggressive drive of the British Empire to impose a Green Global Reset, which proposes to intentionally reduce the planet’s population down to perhaps 1 billion people, through a combination of decarbonization, denuclearization, and overall deindustrialization policies. Those forces have just won a significant victory by stealing the U.S. election from Donald Trump, who was always against the green approach, and putting Joe Biden in the White House, whose very first act in office was to rejoin the ultra-green Paris Accord. What, then, are the grounds for optimism? First, the reality of the physical economic constraints that these British policies are already crashing into with full force. Just look at the insanity of the campaign to fully convert Europe’s automobiles to electric vehicles (EV), which we describe below. Has anyone bothered to look at what the bill of materials would be for such a plan? Second, the reality of Man’s characteristic capability to act on his new creative discoveries, to not play by the existing rules of the game. For example, viable health systems must and can be established in every country in the world, as part of a bankruptcy reorganization of the international financial system in order to restart physical economy. This will require in-depth cooperation between the U.S. and China, in particular. This is just the beginning of the global economic recovery plan required, including the creation of 1.5 billion productive new jobs. In June 2003, Lyndon LaRouche reflected on the issue of optimism and pessimism in a speech he delivered in Queens, New York: “The other aspect which is important as I see it, around the world today, is pessimism. In the United States there is great pessimism; there’s an affliction of pessimism in politics. What we sometimes call corruption in politics, and it is corruption, is a fruit of pessimism. People say you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube; you can’t change the way things are going; you can’t improve the political system; you can’t solve the problems; you’ve got to learn to live with the problems—pessimism. And pessimism leads to corruption. And around the world, the same problem—pessimism, pessimism in Africa, especially in black Africa, pessimism in Europe, pessimism in Eastern Europe, and less so in China. China is more confident, but fear in Korea, fear of what might happen, fear in Japan. “So, the most important thing, in my view, in my experience in leadership, is optimism, not arbitrary optimism, not false optimism, but knowledgeable optimism. The knowledge that we can, if we will, do the things that have to be done.”

The recently released FBI interview with MI6 agent Christopher Steele (and his Orbis pal Christopher Burrows) reveals a number of things: The interview was after the FBI fired him for leaking to the press, which they had forbidden. They asked him why he did it. He responded that he had been “riding two horses” (getting paid by both the FBI and GPS Fusion, which was doing the opposition research for Hillary), but when FBI chief Comey reopened the Hillary investigation regarding the illegal use of her personal servers for classified information, Steele decided to go with one horse—Hillary. And, he added, they wanted the crap he had complied to go out to the press. “They followed what their client wanted, and spoke to the press.” Steel said, the FBI wrote, that President Trump was “their ‘main opponent’ and indicated that they were fearful about how Trump’s presidency negatively impacted the historical US-UK alliance and the US-UK special relationship.” Steele said that Fiona Hill (at the Brookings Institute think tank) had introduced him to Igor Donchenko (also at Brookings, and the “primary source” to Steele, who told the FBI in his interview that the things he had passed on to Steele were barroom gossip). Fiona Hill, one of the many very bad choices Trump made for the NSC, then resigned and gave 10 hours of BS testimony at the Ukraine-scandal impeachment trial. The FBI wrote: “Hill is one of Steele’s close friends, later described in the interview that his wife went to university with Hill, and that Hill’s daughter is named after a now-deceased mutual college friend of Hill and his wife.”

At an event sponsored by the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Forum today, rabid environmentalist crackpot Prince Charles presented his newly-launched initiative, the “Terra Carta” (or Earth Charter) and its “Sustainable Market Initiative” to “bring CEOs together”, to “drive a just energy transition.” Introduced in gushing terms by the head of the Atlantic Council, Frederick Kempe, Charles spoke of the “interconnection” between human health (COVID) and “planetary health.” We must move beyond good intentions, he said, to move to a “practical effort to mobilize financial resources.” He said, “I have been challenging leaders of nations and CEOs of corporations” to take action. To do better, we must bring economic value into sustainable viability. After droning through the usual clichés about corporate responsibility for a structural energy transition, he concluded by saying, “A sustainable future is the growth story of our times.”He was followed by Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, and Bernard Looney, CEO of BP, who praised the prince’s work on the Sustainable Market Initiative, to bring CEOs together to “drive a just transition.” Looney called for support from the financial community to support more Green companies, and more “greening companies”, which he described as those not yet engaged in sustainable practices. He added that this will work, because “what we are doing is in line with what society needs, and wants,” i.e., energy which is affordable, reliable, and clean. BP is moving to become an energy company, not just an oil company. He said that 45% of the companies listed on the London Footsie index are now committed to this project. Moynihan said, from talks with Prince Charles, he agrees that this must now become a “do effort, not a think effort.” Both emphasized their complete support for His Royal Highness, and their agreement with him that the “clock is ticking, we must make each day count.” Kempe, other than praising the three panelists repeatedly, made a point at the beginning of the importance of Biden putting the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Agreement.

The U.S. Presidency passed over today from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration, amidst extreme physical constraints from the COVID-19 pandemic. But every bit as significant and dramatic as the virus, are the subversion operations associated with the dirty, Anglo-American intelligence operations to get Trump out of office in the U.S.—which go back to 2016 and before. The goals and perpetrators of the illegalities involved are a threat to the whole world, but they cannot prevailPresident Biden’s theme in his inaugural speech was “unity … unity for a divided nation.” In fact, tensions over social divisions in the U.S. are being deliberately inflamed by the controllers of his candidacy, who, at the same time, absolutely oppose the economic and related measures for economic development, which are the only basis for true unity, both at home and worldwide. Hypocrisy is too mild a word. The financial/political networks behind Biden are moving internationally for a final “green finance” economic dictatorship. They are supercharged, because their existing monetarist system is crumbling. Trump opposes “green” economics. One of his first acts as President, was to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. From that standpoint, look at the sequence of coup operations thrown at the U.S. Presidency over the past five years, up to and including today’s “systemic whiteness” vs black America charges: Russiagate, the Mueller report, impeachment I, racism, and now impeachment II, which is still underway. Look at a few aspects of today’s situation. It is blatant that a proper examination of irregularities in the Nov. 3 elections process has been squashed so far. There were waves of private Big Money poured into pre-elections logistics, irregular conduct of the vote, outright and suspected fraud, and so on. Discussion of this is taboo, on penalty of loss of social media, jobs, political position, family safety. This creates a social “division” in the nation of over 70 million people! The Jan. 6 mob assault on the U.S. Capitol was an orchestrated incident. Then it was used in a narrative to assert that Trump supporters are prone to violence, and police-state measures are now in order. Over 20,000 National Guardsmen were deployed today around Washington, D.C., and dozens of thousands may continue there. Another 6,000 Guardsmen are in state capitals and other selected sites. Cult “de-programmers” are now featured media guests. CNN this week interviewed the author of a book, The Cult of Trump. Steve Hassan spoke of methods to end their “disassociated disorder.” He said, “The bottom line is all of America needs deprogramming because we’ve all been negatively influenced by Donald Trump.” Behind these kinds of attacks on the nation in the name of “unity,” comes the drive for green fascism. Besides “unity,” Biden made a point today, of going green. He said in his speech that he “hears the planet crying out” for help. He apparently doesn’t hear the starving people crying out. In Biden’s first Presidential act—signing 17 executive orders today, his priority was to put the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Accord, which is to take effect in 30 days. A week from today, John Kerry, Biden’s special envoy for climate change on the U.S. National Security Council, will participate in a mid-week session of the World Economic Forum’s “Davos Agenda” conference, on greening business activity to save the planet by enforcing a “Zero Carbon” emissions regime. Thus, from hour-one, day-one the Biden Administration is in lock-step with the London/Wall Street drive to impose financial dictatorship on nations, in the name of saving the environment. A preview of next week’s Davos Agenda conference (Jan. 25-29) was given Jan. 18, by WEF co-founder Klaus Schwab, speaking from Geneva, who boasted, along with his staff, of the heads of state and world leaders who will be on hand, and how the U.S. is now coming into line. He spoke of the old paradigm of industry, agriculture and business, which were concerned with goods (and livelihoods). But now, a “new stakeholder capitalism” is to rule in the rebuilding and resetting of the world economy, in which the planet comes first (and people last). The “Great Reset Initiative” is to be launched. Back to reality. Wherever the precursors to the Great Reset are already in effect or on the agenda, it’s a raving disaster. On Jan. 8, all of Europe was right on the edge of an electricity black-out, only narrowly averted through selected load shed and outages. This is the direct result of going for the reset of downgrading electric generation from high-tech nuclear and coal, down to wind and solar. The proposed Green Deal for restricting farming inputs in Europe will result in 22 million Europeans lacking food in 10 years, on top of those already hungry. Worldwide, these Green farm dictates would cut food output over 10% by 2030, and make 185 million starve, on top of those already going hungry. There are examples of revolt on every continent. In India today, the Modi government offered to suspend for 18 months three new agriculture laws which hundreds of thousands of farmers have been striking against for two months. This is no solution, but shows the fight underway. The laws, which jeopardize farmers and the food supply, were forced into being last fall to serve the globalist financial/commodity cartel interests, the same “new paradigm” Green reset crowd that is menacing the whole world. Now the government has been forced toward responsible sovereignty. Economic development is the name for unity, domestically in the U.S., and globally.

The spectacle taking place on Jan. 20 in the nation’s Capital, as the 46th President of the United States is inaugurated before an “audience” of 26,000 armed soldiers, poses an existential question before the citizens of the nation, and to the citizens of the world. Will the US retain its sovereignty—as Ben Franklin said, “a Republic, if you can keep it”—or will the British finally be able to realize their 245-year intention to crush the upstart Republic, and return the “New World” to the Old World of the Empire?The British are depending upon the instigation of mass chaos within the Republic, tantamount to a civil war, with the hyper-democrats and the hyper-conservatives, both, defining freedom and democracy as the right of every autonomous individual to have the “democratic” right to destroy society, be it anarchist rioters looting and burning cities across the nation to protest “institutional racism,” or an attack on the nation’s Capitol Building to protest a stolen election. What is historically known as “gang-countergang” imperial methods to divide and conquer, is in full display in the nation today. While this tragic diversion is taking place, the City of London and Wall Street have already begun the implementation of a new fascist dictatorship, replacing the determination of economic policies by an elected government, based on the consent of the governed, as the Constitution defines, with a network of Central Bankers and “too big to fail” financial institutions with absolute authority to bypass the government altogether, directing credit away from the real economy into a new “green bubble.” All that is required is for the faux-president to declare the Green New Deal, and the bankers simply take over. The World Economic Forum has scheduled a mega-conference for Jan. 25-29 called “The Davos Agenda” to roll out “The Great Reset Initiative,” to celebrate the take-over of the US economy and the Western world by Green Finance, as developed over the past decades by Prince Charles, former Bank of England chief Mark Carney, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Michael Bloomberg, and their oligarchical friends. BlackRock, which governs nearly $8 trillion (with a “t”) in rich folks’ money, has already begun the process, ordering power companies in South Korea, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines and more to cease producing coal-fired power plants or be bankrupted by a sudden withdrawal of their investors’ equity. Is this to “save the planet,” as the British Lords and Ladies insist, as the fake-news media insist, as Joe Biden’s controllers insist? Fairy tales for the gullible. Were our citizens not deprived of beauty, subjected to Lady Gaga rather than Marion Anderson, to rock music and rap rather than Beethoven and Schiller, they would not be so easily duped by fake science. Nor would they tolerate a few tech companies, which are subservient to the “surveillance state” under the NSA and the CIA, to literally declare themselves masters of information, that the 88 million Americans who wish to know what the President of the United States has to say can drop dead—or, as Hillary Clinton told Nancy Pelosi today, that the “cult followers” of President Trump should be investigated by a “new 9/11 Commission.” Simply discussing vote fraud has now been declared verboten by Big Brother. Fascism in not just this political censorship, nor the threat of a police state, or of a militarized nation as we see in Washington today. These are the social structures required to enforce fascism, which is, in essence, fascist economics, as in the Great Reset, Green Finance. The nation, and the world, will now be subjected to this new fascism. But it will soon expose itself. Helga Zepp-LaRouche noted today that ideology must eventually run into reality. Speaking of a conjunctural crisis such as we are experiencing today, the poet Percy Shelly said: “At such periods, there is an accumulation of the power of communicating and receiving profound and impassioned conceptions respecting man and nature.” The world is shocked at these developments within the United States. It is a moment in which souls must be uplifted, with beauty, with hope, and with courage, to break the divisions, to create unity behind the nature of man’s creative spirit, to unite the great nations of the world behind the vision of a new paradigm, as Lyndon LaRouche presented that idea, and the means to achieve it.

With just a week remaining in President Donald Trump’s administration, his Office of the Controller of the Currency (within the U.S. Treasury) promulgated a “Fair Access to Financial Services” rule on Jan. 13 which has angered Wall Street and, no doubt, annoyed Windsor Castle and the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. The rule, if enforced, would appear to rule “green finance” out of order in the United States banking system, in spite of the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening of the Financial System which the Federal Reserve just joined after four years of being scared out of it by the President.The rule prohibits banks—although not using this term—from “redlining” companies or funds because they invest either in energy technologies, in agriculture or ranching, or in arms and armaments. No bank, under the rule, may decide or threaten not to lend to or invest in a group or class of companies or funds, as for example, coal and oil and engineering companies have been threatened out of fossil fuel power projects in African and South Asian countries under Mark Carney’s sundry central bank committees and “taxonomies.” Rather, the bank must provide the OCC with criteria and data supporting each case of “redlining” of each single company, and show that those criteria are financial, not climate, social or “governance.” Wall Street is very unhappy at this OCC action, as evidenced in the complaints in three consecutive days’ lead stories, Jan. 14-16, on the website of American Banker the ABA’s publication. Wall Street’s TV channel, CNBC, reported Jan. 14 that the rule “is not just opposed by the largest banks, but faced widespread opposition from legal scholars and environmental, social and governance experts.” Right up to Prince Charles, no doubt. If the Federal Reserve and the biggest Wall Street banks cannot coerce oil and coal companies into building big wind farms instead, farmer cooperatives into swearing off fertilizers and pesticides, ranchers into cutting their livestock herds, Joe Biden’s rejoining the Paris Climate Accord might be a hollow gesture. CNBC tried to reassure by quoting one “expert,” that “one way or another, this rule is not long for this world” under a Biden Administration. But it shows the adversary Trump remains to the Green Deal, and should be paid attention to and fought for. What the rule does, in effect, is what China and Russia and India do to make sure that their companies in the above sectors get credit—the difference being, that those countries make official statements welcoming the “zero-carbon” targets of the Paris Climate Accord while placing them decades off into the future. They are all involved in offering nuclear and clean-coal technologies to developing nations. Those are still first among the nations with which the United States can collaborate in nuclear development, space exploration, and in fact a new Bretton Woods credit system for such development.

The 1967 book by the title, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? was the fourth and last book written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., assassinated in 1968. This weekend, the world honors his historic leadership, on the 92nd anniversary of his birth on January 15. Dr. King in his book, addressed the question: What creates grounds for hope, when we are caught in a time of crisis? His guidance comes through to us profoundly today.This theme will be taken up Monday, January 18 (1 to 4 pm ET,) in the special Schiller Institute international web conference, “A More Perfect Union through the Coincidence of Opposites: Martin Luther King and the American Presidency.” Participants include jurists from several nations, collaborating as a Commission on Truth in Elections, individuals from U.S. states, actively opposing the subversion of the elections process, and a keynote by Schiller Institute President, Helga Zepp-LaRouche. Dennis Speed, of the Schiller Institute and The LaRouche Organization, will introduce the event, “‘Injustice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice Everywhere’—Martin Luther King and Today’s Crisis in the American Presidency.” At present, there are multiple assaults underway, aimed at plunging the U.S. population and institutions into chaos. Look at just the most obvious. First, with under three days to go before the inauguration of Joe Biden, the media are conducting fear-mongering 24-7, over the prospect of violence in Washington, D.C., state capitals, and other sites. Precautionary measures for public safety are one thing. But what is covered up, is that the Jan. 6th mob attack on the Capitol Building and Congress was a contrived, staged event, intended as rationalization for “emergency” police-state and surveillance measures in the aftermath, in the same way as Sept. 11, 2001 was used for the Patriot Act, and in the spirit of the 1933 Reichstag Fire. Secondly, there is the bandwagon to conduct an impeachment later this week in the Senate against Donald Trump, who will be a private citizen by then. This morning, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the impeachment manager, discussed his “trial plan” on national television, which is madness on steroids. He intends to include not just the bogus impeachment article charge of “inciting to insurrection,” but to “tell the story of this President’s attack on America.” Thirdly, there is the push for racism and maximum social conflict. For example, American “whiteness” must be ended, was the theme sounded last week in a Washington Post guest column by Hillary Clinton, the has-been former Presidential Wall Street candidate, for whom the most extreme election illegalities were perpetrated in 2016. Her column, “America, We Need To Do Some Soul Searching” charged that, thanks to Trump, “whiteness is valued at the expense of everything else.” Fourth, there is the mass shutdown of communications through social media, targeting the President of the United States and thousands of others. Among others, Twitter banned Trump forever Jan. 8, cutting off access to 88 million people. Twitter founder, billionaire Jack Dorsey said about this, in a tape that recently came out: “We are forced to act on this one account … but we are going to go way beyond this after the inauguration….” There are more lines of chaos which could be enumerated. One thing is clear: These operations do not reflect an outbreak of coincidental dastardliness. They all trace back to serve the interests of the political/financial dictatorship plotting for terminal control of what’s left of the world economy, via their green “Great Reset” power grab, and outright depopulation they know will ensue. Glenn Greenwald, investigative journalist, made a related point on this today, when he said on a Fox News interview, that the Big Tech censorship was “not some unilateral power grab” out of Silicon Valley. No. There are “corporate and government” networks behind this, acting through the major media—CNN, New York Times and the rest, conducting a pressure campaign to make the censorship happen. The immediate intended impact on the public of all these lines of chaos underway is Schrecklichkeit—unreasoning fear. The message is: “We are evil. We are all powerful. We are insane. We are attacking you. There is nothing you can do about it.” That is the message, not only to Americans, but before citizens all around the world. However, in the calm of reason, there is plenty we all can do about it. That is the grounds for hope. The Schiller Institute Jan. 18 conference will take up our tasks. Among the priorities, along with exposing the financial fascism nature of the enemy, is mobilizing to roll back the pandemic and famine. The Jan. 18 conference invitation includes an excerpt from the speech given in Talladega, Alabama on January 19, 2004 by Lyndon LaRouche, at a prayer breakfast honoring Dr. King, by the Talladega County Democratic Party. LaRouche said: “We do not face a new problem today, in one sense. We face the same problem, in principle, that Martin faced. And faced successfully. And I would propose, that in the lesson of Martin Luther King, and his life, there is something we can learn today, which brings him back to life, as if he were standing here, alive, today. There’s something special about his life, his development, which should be captured today by us, not only in addressing the problems of our nation, which are becoming terrible; but the problems of our relationship with the world as a whole.” The Jan. 18 invitation summarizes our situation today, calling for deliberation, and collaboration. “The tragic events of Jan. 6, 2021 at the United States Capitol Building have overshadowed the condition that preceded them—a long-gestating breakdown of public trust in the institutions of government, including the electoral process. This distrust is epidemic throughout the trans-Atlantic sector, and has created a strategic instability of concern to the whole world. The continuing failure to work with Russia, China, India and other nations—nations governed by ideas and in ways divergent from our own—to reverse the foolish economic conditions and failed policies that turned the COVID-19 threat into a global pandemic will, if not reversed, soon bring down each and every government of the trans-Atlantic world.” Attend the event live—and afterward. Invite others. Spread the message of hope. https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/for_a_citizens_commission_on_truth_in_elections?utm_campaign=invitation_mlk_event&utm_medium=email&utm_source=schillerinstitute

On Monday, the Democrats introduced articles of impeachment, declaring that it is an impeachable offense to have challenged the vote fraud in the Nov. 3 election.They intend to vote it up, essentially without debate, on Wednesday. They also introduced a bill to remove from Congress every Republican who challenged the vote fraud, based on the 14th Amendment, which was designed to prevent Confederate leaders who had fought in the insurrection against the Union from becoming Congressmen. Get it? Challenging vote fraud is the same as waging a four-year bloody war against the Union in support of slavery and free trade. Meanwhile, the Democrats, and many Republicans, and of course the media, cheer on the fact that all major social media have denied access to the President of the United States, essentially silencing the President from his 73 million supporters. The First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in America, and the Constitution as a whole, are being shredded.The world is shocked. Mexican President Lopez Obrador told the world that America is losing its freedom, that a new “Holy Inquisition” is coming into being which is a danger to the entire world. Similar sentiments are coming from every part of the world. At the same time, the bankers in the City of London and Wall Street are implementing the Great Reset, the “regime change” of the world financial system (as former Bank of England chief Mark Carney called it) into a post-industrial enforcement arm of the Green New Deal, denying credit to all fossil fuels, to most industry, and to modern high-tech agriculture. It is a system which can sustain at most 1-2 billion people. Do its sponsors know that? It is their intent. As Prince Philip famously said: “Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term threat to survival. We’re in for a major disaster if it isn’t curbed—not just for the natural world, but for the human world. The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they will do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war.” Trump’s unacceptable dedication to progress, the oligarchy would like to think, has been crushed, as the Green New Deal is about to take over the United States under the senile Joe Biden. They are taking no chances, however, and have thus ripped up the Constitution in order to silence the President and all who support him. There is another danger facing these genocidalists, perhaps an even greater threat: China. Not only has China become the first nation in history to eliminate abject poverty, through mass infrastructure development and universal scientific and cultural education, but they are taking that method—once known as the “American System”—to the rest of the world, through the New Silk Road, the Belt and Road Initiative. Nations across the developing sector, and even in Europe, have ridiculed madman Mike Pompeo’s effort to unite the world against China as a threat to “our way of life” and the “rule of law.” The Asian nations united with China last November to create a fair trade system called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The EU in December signed a “Comprehensive Agreement on Investment,” to expand mutual trade and investment with China. African and South American nations look to China for the real development aid they have been denied under IMF-World Bank austerity dictates. The Anglo-American oligarchy is not pleased. With Pompeo as their leading hitman, they are willing to risk war with China, even nuclear war, to crush the Belt and Road. Not only has Pompeo directed the imposition of expansive sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals—sanctions which are doing more damage to American firms than to those in China—but he has now declared war on the “One China” policy, which has been the basis for peace and collaboration over these past fifty years. By lifting all special conditions for US relations with Taiwan, essentially treating Taiwan as an independent nation, rather than honoring the “One Country, Two Systems” policy which has maintained peace and prosperity in the region, Pompeo is threatening one of China’s core interests, its sovereignty. As you will see below, the Chinese will not shy away from the danger of war if their sovereignty is challenged. One must keep in mind what Bertrand Russell said, which stands, still today, as the ideological foundation of the Empire. To deal with the overpopulation problem, the good Lord said: “War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full.” Of course, with the advent of nuclear weapons, Lord Russell became more confident that war could kill enough people to solve the problem, advocating that the US launch a nuclear war on Russia before they could build their own bomb. The resolution to this existential crisis exists. The pandemic has threatened the lives of millions, not only death by the virus, but death by starvation. Never has the world been more in need of international cooperation to meet a crisis facing the entire world. Helga Zepp-LaRouch has initiated such cooperation, based on addressing the desperate health crisis facing all nations, rich and poor, due to the breakdown of public health in the advanced sector over the past decades through “privatization,” and the denial of public health facilities to large parts of Africa and Asia through IMF “conditionalities.” No nation alone can solve this crisis. Rather than war and the new fascism now threatening the United States, we call on President Trump to use his last days in the White House to call Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and other nations of good will, to join forces with the US in a global campaign to build modern health facilities in every nation on Earth. We call on each of you to join Zepp-LaRouche’s “Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites,” to address this health and food crisis as the starting point for a new paradigm for mankind.

Immediately led on Jan. 7-8 by Edward Snowden, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Michael Gorbachev, more leading figures in political life and journalism have attacked the attempt at total censorship of President Donald Trump by the IT billionaires of Silicon Valley, who are trying to impose total control over political speech in the United States—to start.Today German Chancellor Angela Merkel “blasted” (in Reuters description) Facebook and Twitter censorship of Trump. “The right to freedom of opinion is of fundamental importance,” Steffen Seibert, Merkel’s chief spokesman, told reporters in Berlin on Monday, according to Reuters. “Given that, the Chancellor considers it problematic that the President’s accounts have been permanently suspended.” The First Amendment “can be interfered with,” Merkel’s spokesman said, “but by law and within the framework defined by the legislature—not according to a corporate decision.” Bruno Le Maire, the French Economy Minister, called “the digital oligarchy” the threat to democracy; French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clément Beaune expressed “shock” at the Facebook and Twitter power grab and said, “This should be decided by citizens, not by a CEO,” The British liberal Guardian showed considerable disdain in reporting Australian Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack’s statement denouncing the censorship of Trump—but that was Snowden’s warning: Those who think they like to see Trump silenced, will learn that this is a “turning point” and that if the IT giants can silence a U.S. President, they will try to use that power to silence anyone. Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook pointed in that direction today in a statement implying no further discussion of the Nov. 3 election allowed by anyone—not just by Donald Trump. “We are now removing content containing the phrase ‘stop the steal’ under our Coordinating Harm policy from Facebook and Instagram. We removed the original Stop the Steal group in November and have continued to remove Pages, groups and events that violate any of our policies.” Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, who helped Snowden blow the whistle on the surveillance state, made the same point in a series of tweets today: “Tech monopolies—FB, Google, Apple, Amazon—have more concentrated wealth & power than any in history. They have used brute force 3 times in 3 months to manipulate US politics: censoring NY Post, banning Trump, destroying Parler. And liberals are overwhelmingly supportive.” Most recently, he declared: “these Silicon Valley monopolies are grave menaces to political freedom & economic well-being.” And prefaced the series: “Authoritarians never believe they’re authoritarians, no matter how much censorship, surveillance, jingoism, & imprisonment they demand. They tell themselves their enemies are so uniquely evil and dangerous—terrorists—that anything done in the name of fighting them is noble.” This stripping of free speech is now targeting Trump and his most vocal and active supporters. As Ed Snowden observed—echoing Martin Niemöller about the Nazis—you may say, “I’m no active Trump supporter, this is OK with me.” Is this for Biden? It was Joe Biden who, by his own boasting, wrote the Patriot Act in 1994—the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It wasn’t passed, but in 2002 when Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote the Patriot Act itself, he called Biden, recounts Caitlin Johnstone, and said “I’m introducing your bill from 1994.” Thus if the surveillance state has become the unconstitutional reality of life since 9/11—including making an unholy partnership between the military-intelligence complex and the IT billionaires of Silicon Valley—Joe Biden had already planned that future for America after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. And Biden opposes any tampering now with Section 230 of the Federal Communications Act which allows these tech giants to masquerade as “neutral platforms” while giving them unprecedented censorship power. Experts are suddenly seeing what Trump meant about Section 230. The dean of Tufts University’s Fletcher School, for example, Bhaskar Chakravorti, on Jan. 10: “Jan. 6 ought to shape the future of tech as we know it. The only way in which social media doesn’t continue to be weaponized to undermine democracy, is by rethinking this critical piece [Section 230] that gave rise to the web as it is today and is the root of many of its evils.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren has appeared to forget that during the Presidential campaign she promised an anti-trust law to break the digital oligarchs’ companies up—“Glass-Steagall for tech.” They must be broken up. The President must not be silenced. At stake is American constitutional self-government.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador used his daily morning press briefing on Jan. 8 to warn the world that the censorship taking place in the U.S. is a danger for the world, a new “Holy Inquisition” designed to “create a world government with the power to control social networks, a world media power.” The exchange occurred in response to a question from respected journalist Daniel Marmolejo. A three-minute video excerpt of the exchange, subtitled in English, was played on today’s LaRouche Manhattan Project Meeting, hosted by The LaRouche Organization (TLO). That video can be found on the TLO YouTube channel and is transcribed below.

This morning President Donald Trump made two announcements on his briefly restored Twitter service. He will not attend the Jan. 20 Biden inauguration. And he will serve as the “GIANT VOICE” for the interests of the American people “long into the future.” This is exactly the prospect that, even before 2016, made Trump a target for side-lining by the London/Wall Street networks, whose political wing perpetrated one dirty operation after another against the U.S. to get Trump out—Russiagate, impeachment, racism, then election subversion. Now, they are saying he is nuts. The Economist, the voice of the City of London, is chewing its nails over how to get him out fast. They have sent multiple e-mails on this since Jan. 6, and their Jan. 9 feature article has a fretful headline, “After the Insurrection: The Terrible Scenes on Capitol Hill Illustrate How Donald Trump Has Changed His Party. And How Hard It Will Be To Rid It of Him.”Trump stood firmly against the Paris Accord green dictates, and initially and strongly, for friendship diplomacy with Russia, China, and India (although he capitulated to Pompeo’s McCarthyite madness over the past year). Trump also backed agro-industrial and space activity, crash biomedical work, and pulling back U.S. troops from the “endless wars.” These are anathema to the monetarists and their system, whose leading mega-financial entities are now in a zombie state of being dead-but-not-buried, propped up by trillions of dollars of bail-outs and chicanery. To these interests, the Great Reset is their solution, since it involves dictatorial “governance” and banking practices of any kind, including causing sickness, famine and death—because they say, it will save the planet from CO₂. From Jan. 25-29, a five-day, 25 million-viewership media jamboree is in the works by the World Economic Forum, called “The Davos Agenda,” at which the Great Reset will be officially rolled out. This is the context in which to understand the meaning of the events of the hour. The Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol involved a glaring lack of routine safety preparedness, for a known possible threat element to be deployed, or take shape. Now the event is being used as the excuse for demanding Trump leave office in the next 13 days, and as an excuse for Big Tech to exert total rights of surveillance and censorship. This is the same way that after the Sept. 11, 2011 attack, similar “governance” measures were enforced, in the false name of public defense. There are three lines of action demanded against Trump as of now—activation of the 25th Amendment to put him out, impeachment, or his “voluntary” resignation. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has written to Vice President Pence demanding he activate the 25th Amendment protocol to remove Trump because he is “unhinged.” Today Pelosi talked with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley to take measures to isolate Trump from the nuclear weapons codes. She wrote today to Democrats to line them up in readiness for an impeachment vote. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has entered a bill of articles of impeachment, the first three of which charge Trump with not “acknowledging” how Russia has been subverting the U.S. in different ways. The impeachment includes a clause barring Trump from any future public office of any kind, anywhere. Two other impeachment bills are being prepared. Meantime, former Secretary of State Colin Powell is saying, Trump should just “walk away” from office right now, like President Nixon did. Last night, Mark Zuckerberg, now infamous for pouring over $300 million to local election precincts—private money for public elections—informed President Trump that he can no longer use Facebook “indefinitely.” Why? Because, “We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.” Of course, those political leaders who cheered on the mass riots, looting, arson and attacks on police all summer were never removed from social media—quite the opposite. This frenzied over-kill, however, by no means signifies strength. It is hysteria, and can be defeated. Multi-millions of people are not prepared to accept the new Great Reset, any more than in 2016 they would vote for London’s Hillary Clinton. It is self-evident to anyone thinking about it, that we have a big job today to roll back the pandemic, famine and economic decay caused by decades of neo-liberal, neo-conservative economics, which must be stopped. President Trump, with a phone call, can initiate the collaboration process with Russia, China and others at any time. To hell with the unhinged Schumer, Pelosi/London crowd. Lyndon LaRouche has shown the way for both policies and courage. A Trump exoneration of LaRouche, and pardon for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden is the best weapon right now. Understanding and acting on this Big Picture, is an essential part of the “truth in elections” campaign we are waging.

By Jason Ross Around 4:30 p.m., Trump tweeted a one-minute video, urging his supporters to go home. Standing in front of the White House, he said: “I know your pain; I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There has never been a time like this, where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You are very special. You’ve seen what happens; you see the way others are treated, that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace.”At first Twitter limited the distribution of the video (no likes, comments, or direct retweets), and then actually removed it, as did Facebook, which reported that it took the action on the astonishing basis that Trump’s call for leaving the Capitol peacefully “contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence”! Facebook has locked Trump out of the platform for 24 hours. The same censorious fate befell Trump’s now-removed 6:01 p.m. tweet, which read: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” At 7:02 p.m., Twitter safety reported that Twitter had removed three of Donald Trump’s tweets and locked his account: “This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.” This means that even though Twitter has removed the Tweets, Trump must also delete them himself before they will allow him to use the platform. Twitter Safety warned President Trump that they were prepared to lock him out of Twitter entirely: “Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.” This means that during a state of emergency in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, after a historical intrusion into the Capitol, when people are demanding the impeachment or 25th Amendment removal of the President of the United States, he is unable to communicate directly with the people using the two most popular social media platforms.

Not many media outside imperial London would be arrogant enough—even after what they believe to be their successful coup against President Donald Trump—to publish a lengthy editorial entitled, “An Overhaul of U.S. Democracy”; with a kicker that the United States cannot be allowed a 2024 presidential election under the present Constitutional system of the republic. Abolition of all the inconvenient American Constitutional practices was published as orders to be carried out through a “high-level commission,” to be created by low-level Joe Biden in “one of his first acts.” This was done by the Washington Post Sunday on Jan. 3 with a follow-up editorial the next day on the same subject. The Post for decades has been a newspaper voice and leak sheet of the U.S. and British intelligence services; now, under increasingly interventionist ownership of world’s richest man Jeffrey Bezos, it is also speaking for the intersection of giant IT companies like Amazon with the military-industrial complex in the post-9/11 “surveillance state.” It demanded:Eliminate Article II, Sections 1 and 2 of the Constitution, where the role of state legislatures and electors is specified. Eliminate Article I, Section 4 and the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, to abolish the role of the Congress in the election of the President. Change the 1887 Electoral Count Act to further ensure that Congress has no role in certifying electoral votes. Don’t allow the House of Representatives to decide a tied or multi-candidate electoral result for President. In fact, “eliminate the threat of third-party spoilers” to the two-party duopoly entirely. Eliminate “partisan” state elected officials from administering elections; again, Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution must go. And more: Eliminate the role of states and counties in registering voters and keeping registration rolls, by mandating “universal registration” and possibly mandatory voting. Keep “better organized” polling places open “more often, and longer” than others; thus eliminate equal due-process under law in elections. Above all, expand mail-in voting to make it as near universal as possible. “Republicans” must not be allowed from here on, to scale back the huge mail-in voting of 2020. All this, “and there is much that a democracy commission could consider.” With these editorials the Post directly attacked those organizing through and beyond Jan. 21 for the restoration of truth and Constitutional practice in elections. But this warning is to the world as a whole. The City of London and Wall Street, with their interlinked intelligence services, will not again allow any nationalist republican leader to become a head of state, as in 2016. Not another FDR or JFK in America, nor another Jaurès or de Gaulle in France; nor a Moro or Salvini in Italy; for that matter, with Dominion Systems counting the votes, not another Duterte in the Philippines. “National election commissions” will make sure elections are conducted in such corrupt and colonialist ways that only candidates selected for backing by the City and Wall Street can win. Above all, no other Lyndon LaRouche, nor one of the real LaRouche’s supporters, is to be allowed so much as a few delegates or electors, or to become “spoilers” as they did around the United States in the 1980s. The real issue is Alexander Hamilton’s American System of economics, its adoption in many nations in Europe and Asia. LaRouche’s fundamentally advanced Hamilton’s core idea that human creative discovery is the driver of economies, and more progress requires more people, better skilled and more creative human beings, great development projects across continents. That is available to any and all nations, whose citizens wake up in sufficient numbers in this crisis and take responsibility for a better future. It is what those who just spoke their demands through the Washington Post, are determined never to allow a President like Donald Trump even to consider. Only the “Great Reset” to economic austerity and zero-carbon primitivism can be allowed, or so they believe. But in fact, citizens’ openness to LaRouche’s ideas and movement are growing as they haven’t since his very public persecution and imprisonment in the 1980s. We fight for his exoneration now to unleash that process like a Renaissance. We call for Presidential pardons for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden now, to throw over the surveillance state game for which the Washington Post thinks it is appointed a judge and referee. And we organize for a summit of great powers where Hamilton’s and LaRouche’s American System becomes a new international system of credit for development.

British Judge Vanessa Baraitser today rejected the extradition request of the U.S. government for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and ruled that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States where he might commit suicide in prison, Kevin Gosztola, managing editor of Shadowproof website, reported on Twitter and Jaclyn Diaz on NPR today. Judge Baraitser set a bail hearing for Wednesday, Jan. 6. The judge accepted essentially all of the U.S. Justice Department's charges against Assange lock, stock and barrel, and even implied he could be charged under the British Official Secrets Act as well. All involved understand that a pardon by President Donald Trump is the only way to end the physical and mental depression of Assange’s health under indefinite imprisonment, which caused Baraitser’s surprise denial of extradition. Perhaps she got the message that the UK wants to kill Assange itself, rather than having him commit suicide in the US, or potentially be pardoned there.Baraitser said that she believed that Julian Assange would likely be imprisoned at a U.S. supermax prison, with Special Administrative Measures. According to Gosztola’s article, Baraitser stated, “ ‘I am satisfied that, in these harsh conditions, Mr. Assange’s mental health would deteriorate, causing him to commit suicide with the ‘single-minded determination’ of his autism spectrum disorder” (only recently diagnosed in prison). Baraitser then declared, “I find that the mental condition of Mr. Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America.” She pointed to a suicide attempt by Chelsea Manning in the Alexandria, Virginia Detention Center where Assange would be held before and during trial. Australian Associated Press quoted Kristinn Hrafnsson, editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks from his press statement, saying, “It is a day with a win for Julian Assange, but we have to be cautious, it’s not necessarily a win for journalism.... I am concerned that instantly upon giving her decision, the U.S. lawyers indicated they would appeal, but they should not.... Let’s be cautious in our victory celebration. As Stella said, the fight will not be over until Julian can go home and be with her and the boys,” he said, referring to Assange’s fiancée Stella Moris and the couple’s young sons. Assange’s partner Stella Moris, at an impromptu rally, called on President Donald Trump: “Mr. President, tear down these prison walls. Let our little boys have their father. Free Julian, free the press, free us all.” The U.S. government, Gosztola reported, will submit an appeal with the High Court of Justice, and Assange will have an opportunity to apply for bail from Belmarsh prison, where he has been imprisoned without any sentence since April 2019. Assange was charged there with 17 counts of violating the U.S. Espionage Act, and 1 count of conspiracy to commit a computer intrusion that contains elements of an Espionage Act offense. Then a superseding indictment in 2020 contained new general allegations that targeted Assange’s speeches at conferences and the role he allegedly played helping whistleblower Edward Snowden leave Hong Kong. While press organizations worldwide condemned the charges against Assange, arguing that he was carrying out simply common journalistic practices, Baraitser accepted all U.S. government charges. Many prominent supporters, members of Congress from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), many organizations, including The LaRouche Organization have called for Assange’s pardon by President Trump. One of those supporters, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced today, “I’m going to ask the foreign minister to ask the U.K. government about the possibility that Mr. Assange go free and that Mexico offer him political asylum.” He called the denial of extradition “a triumph of justice,” but said “Assange is a journalist” and deserves his freedom.

Pennsylvania State Rep. Russ Diamond and a group of other legislators from that state are raising the possibility that no presidential electors will be sent from Pennsylvania to Congress on Wednesday, Jan. 6. This follows from their conclusion that the sweeping extent of the voting irregularities, and the illegal, non-legislated nature of the electoral procedures, the winner of the election is simply unknown.

Appearing on the Maria Bartiromo show this morning, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, who assembled a group of 11 GOP senators to object to the certification of the Nov. 3 election and propose a ten-day audit of the election, supports withholding certification of the electors from half a dozen states, until such an audit is completed. Responding to polls showing a large portion of U.S. voters who believe there was fraud during the election, Cruz expressed his disappointment that the Supreme Court declined to take cases from Pennsylvania and Texas, denying that forum as a way of resolving the issues presented. Therefore, he reasoned, the Congress has a responsibility to determine whether the election was properly conducted.Cruz pointed to the problems in two approaches: One being simply to allow the process to play out on Wednesday, Jan. 6 without objecting to the injustice, and the second being attempts to decide, on Jan.6, that Donald Trump won the election. Declaring both proposals unprincipled, Cruz explained that he looked back to the 1876 Hayes-Tilden election, and the creation at that time of an electoral commission—comprising House members, Senators, and Supreme Court Justices—to look into vote fraud and come to a determination. Responding to calls from other Senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to refrain from objecting, Cruz pointed to the responsibility to determine the truth, given that 39% of Americans consider the election to have been rigged. Failing to resolve the accusations would be a grave failure to defend American democracy. As the investigation unfolds, the states may be called upon to appoint electors as they deem fit. Regarding the right of Congress to intervene into the counting of electoral votes, Cruz pointed to the Electoral Count Act of 1887, established in the wake of the 1876 election. (Although this Act, being legislation, could be challenged to the extent that it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments.) Representatives Jim Jordan and Mo Brooks then joined the program. Rep. Jordan explained his understanding of the basic mechanics he expects to operate on Wednesday: Pence will count states one at a time, Members of Congress and Senators have an opportunity to object to each state’s Electors, in which case the two houses of Congress will separately debate for up to two hours and vote on whether to accept them. If, at the end of the process, neither candidate has received the votes of 270 Electors (although it is unclear whether rejected Electors count towards the total number of votes from which a majority is required to avoid the next step), the House will vote state-by-state, which would result in the re-election of President Donald Trump. The main basis of the objection is the non-legislative manner of changing the electoral process in the states in question, thereby violating the constitutional provision that state legislatures choose the means of appointing electors—in this case, through elections whose conduct they determined by legislation. Rep. Brooks identified six states whose electoral slates he intended to object to: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, George, Arizona, and Nevada. He expressed his commitment to standing up against the violation of the Constitution in the conduct of the election. Asked to detail the electoral irregularities that concerned him, Brooks referred to tens of thousands of improper votes—dead people voting, people voting twice, ballots being pulled out from underneath tables, ballots counted after observers were removed from the room, non-residents voting, non-legislated extensions of access to mail-in ballots, and more. While the mechanics of challenging the electoral slates from individual states is clearly spelled out in the 1887 Act, the means of creating a commission on Wednesday are less clear. And if the House and Senate disagree on whether to accept a state’s Electors, the 1887 Act calls for accepting the Electors sent by the respective states’ governors. Even if the challenges do not succeed, they are definitely the right thing to do, and they will set the stage for continuing the fight.

The LaRouche Organization and the Schiller Institute today hosted a powerful virtual Town Hall meeting with representatives of the state legislatures and activists from four of the states in which the presidential election is contested, and others, presenting evidence of the massive vote fraud and irregularities in the election, and discussing the profound impact of this fight for the future of the nation and the world. The forum was part of a mobilization of concerned citizens to create a Citizens Commission for Truth in Elections, which will hold a founding conference on Jan. 17. As expressed by the moderator Dennis Speed of the Schiller Institute in opening the Town Hall meeting, the stealing of the Nov. 3 election is not only a threat to Donald Trump’s reelection, nor even simply to the U.S. Constitution, but a threat to civilization, to determine—in the words of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War regarding the American System experiment—“testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.”Speaker after speaker reported on the massive evidence, in plain sight, of the irregularities and outright fraud in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, insisting that if this fraudulent election is allowed to stand, then the faith in the electoral process in the United States will be destroyed. They addressed the role of the corrupt media, which repeats the mantra of “unsubstantiated claims” of vote fraud ad nauseam, and the corrupt courts, which have dismissed every case, not on the merits, but on procedure, without hearing the evidence. It was emphasized that the clear language of the Constitution grants the state legislators—not the courts nor other officials—the sole responsibility for electoral rules in each state, but that this fact has been repeatedly broken in several states. The focus now is on Jan. 6, when the electoral votes are to be presented to a Joint Session of Congress. Already several members of the House of Representatives and the Senate intend to challenge the electors from the contested states.

We should have no illusions about what is facing the citizens of the United States and every nation in 2021. This year will be one of all-out battle with revived Malthusianism—the dogma that our resources are too few and we are too many and must be culled, our populations reduced. Growing in force since the disaster of the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, this British Malthusianism is backed by the financial powers of the City of London, by the Wall Street global investment firms and banks, and all the most powerful central banks, now including the Federal Reserve which has just defied President Donald Trump by joining the Bank of England’s “Network for Greening the Financial System.” This plague of economic and political life now goes under the names of “zero carbon”—and from the financial elite, the “Great Reset.”At the top of the leadership of this British Malthusianism we must defeat, are Prince Charles, of the British royal family which has always wanted to depopulate the human race; his close friend Mark Carney, formerly of the Bank of England who has been the world’s most powerful central banker since 2014; Carney’s partner the Wall Street-City of London billionaire Sir Michael Bloomberg, instrumental in putting Joe Biden in a Democratic presidential suit. Their forces have used the COVID pandemic not only to steal an election from President Donald Trump, who defied them, but to push weakened governments and industrial companies into accepting environmentalist austerity. Rebuilding industry, advancing science and technology are out; only an economy without fossil fuel energy, without livestock farming or chemical fertilizers or meat, without high-quality steel, without air travel will be permitted financing or credit. This is the absurd “Build Back Better” Joe Biden plagiarized from U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Prince Charles’s crowd think 2021 is theirs. “This will be Year Zero” says Klaus Schwab the chief Davos Man who runs the World Economic Forum, specifically adding that Biden is theirs and so are the European Union, Japan and China. Prince Charles in a Dec. 30 interview congratulated himself on the “complete change of approach” of private business to his view in the past 18 months, and in the same talk said we should take our economics from tribes of “First Nations.” Mark Carney in the London Financial Times said we’ll have to spend “$100 billion a year” offsetting our use of carbon products—and so we’ll stop using them. Malthus infamously said: Let diseases run their course and reduce population, don’t try to stop them; let hunger take its course to starvation, food enough for all human beings cannot be produced. What do we have, occurring worldwide, now? But President John F. Kennedy, speaking in 1963 to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, said: “For the first time in the history of the world we do know how to produce enough food now to feed every man, woman, and child in the world, enough to eliminate all hunger completely…. For the first time to know how to conquer the problem and not conquer it would be a disgrace for this generation. We need to help transmit all that we know of farm technology to the ends of the Earth, to overcome the barriers of ignorance and suspicion. The key to a permanent solution to world hunger is the transfer of technology which we now have to food deficit nations.” That was the “American” spirit of progress which took mankind to the Moon after JFK was killed, and will take mankind back there and to Mars now. It was the American republic’s world-changing development—from the Revolution through World War II and Project Apollo, which completely crushed the British influence of Malthus and his ilk. No one looking up at Americans on the Moon, or looking back from the Moon, believed there were too many people and too few resources. The ugly Malthusian idea did not get a foothold among us again until after the 1970s, after London banks caused the downfall of FDR’s Bretton Woods system and started the deindustrialization of America, which has now gone on for 50 years. In 2021 we have to defeat this evil reduction of the human race. We are celebrating Beethoven’s 250th year; he had the fortitude to live mentally in a future of Promethean human beings who would learn from his music to scorn oligarchs like Prince Charles. We have Lyndon LaRouche who supplied us with the weapons of economic policy for this fight, known now as his “Four New Economic Laws.” And we have a good campaign ahead of us.
