While the Western media are filled with leaks and counter-leaks
about the whereabouts of over 400 kg of enriched uranium and whether
Iran’s centrifuges to enrich it were destroyed or not, what is
becoming clear is that no one really cared about that. If they had,
the negotiations would have continued, and the United States would
have made an agreement (“a deal”), probably brokered by Russia with
Iran, to allow Iran the peaceful development of nuclear energy, while
guaranteeing the security of Israel.
Instead, President Trump apparently lied to the world, pretending
that he had told Bibi Netanyahu to hold off bombing Iran during the
ongoing negotiations, only to enable Israel to make a surprise attack,
killing dozens of Iranian scientists and military leaders in their
beds along with their families. On top of that, the “neutral” nuclear
watch-dog IAEA, admitted after the Israeli attacks (and BEFORE the
U.S. attacks) that Iran actually wasn’t building a bomb, although the
IAEA had claimed just a few days earlier that Iran had “violated”
certain provisions, just in time to create a pretext for Israel’s
attack.
All of this hoopla about Iran has nothing to do with why certain
forces are pushing for war. As Schiller Institute founder Helga
Zepp-LaRouche told her international associates on June 30, the issue
is “the systemic bankruptcy of the trans-Atlantic system and the
unwillingness of the establishments to correct their policies and
their insistence that they want to remain in their dominant position
in the world.”
Therefore, the only way to be sure that we are not on the cusp of
nuclear war, whether in the Middle East or elsewhere, is to eliminate
the cause of the conflict by establishing a new economic and security
architecture that recognizes the right of every nation to be secure
and prosperous, which will require a bankruptcy reorganization of the
trans-Atlantic system and the admission that the $2 quadrillion
everything-bubble simply cannot be saved.
While the world is obsessed with whether or not Trump totally or
only partially, or not at all, destroyed Iran’s nuclear enrichment
capability, Russia is steadfastly winning the war against NATO in
Ukraine on the battlefield. Russia just announced that Lugansk has
been “fully liberated” from the pro-Nazi scourge. No amount of weapons
from the bankrupt Europeans will save Zelenskyy’s regime.
Over 5 billion people on the planet live in nations which have
rejected the British imperial system, and are forging a new order, not
based on winner-take-all, or master-slave relations, but as Russian
President Putin put it, more like a symphony orchestra, where each
unique voice contributes to the harmony of the whole.
As we approach the American Independence Day holiday on July 4, now
would be a good time to remember that we have been in an ongoing brawl
against the British Empire for more than 250 years. LaRouche put it
this way in a 2004 speech entitled, “I
Stand at the Bedside of a Doomed Empire:”
“We were almost crushed, repeatedly. The intention of Britain was
to destroy us. This was the perpetual policy, of the British toward
the United States, and the policy of the key traitors within the
United States: Such as Gallatin, such as Aaron Burr, such as the
leadership of many of the political parties. The controllers of
agents, such as Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Polk, Pierce,
Buchanan, who were agents of the enemy, determined to destroy us.
“In the process, the American patriotic tradition had a resurgence:
around the tradition of Lafayette, around the personality of John
Quincy Adams, and with a very significant recruit by John Quincy Adams
to his cause, the Whig, Abraham Lincoln, who was Quincy Adams’ voice,
in the Congress in denouncing the Polk Presidency for the war against
Mexico, of that period. And that President Lincoln, later, led the
United States to return to itself, as a nation.”
It is time for the United States to return to itself and stop
participating in British imperial atrocities. Your neighbors and the
world would appreciate that.
