The year 2026 has opened with a literal bang. The U.S. military,
under President Trump’s orders, attacked the sovereign nation of
Venezuela and captured its democratically elected President, Nicholas
Maduro, along with his wife, flying them out of the country.
Statements from Russia, Brazil, and Mexico have already been
issued, condemning the attack and insisting that further escalation be
prevented. They recommended focusing on a way out of the situation
through dialogue. Brazilian President Lula said the attack “crosses
the line of what is unacceptable. These acts represent a
very serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty and set another
extremely dangerous precedent for the international community.”
”Attacking countries in flagrant violation of international law,”
he continued “is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and
instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over
multilateralism.”
This illegal attack follows the just-thwarted attempt by Ukraine,
or NATO forces acting in the form of Ukraine, to assassinate Russian
President Vladimir Putin at his residence on the evening of Dec. 29th.
The situation has been further compounded by the New Year’s Eve drone
attack on a Russian cafe in Kherson, in which at least 28 civilians
were killed, and many more wounded. British intelligence agencies, who
want nothing more than to derail the nascent attempt at diplomacy
underway by the Trump Administration with Russia, are pumping the
narrative that President Putin lied about the attack to justify
Russia’s war on Ukraine—a ridiculous falsehood on the face of it.
Add to this the mad attempt to install advanced tactical nuclear
weapon systems in Germany and Europe, in preparation for "defense" in
a future war with Russia, and you have the short term makings for a
thermonuclear World War III. As the world descends into the law of the
jungle, the ever-clearer reality of the disintegration of the
trans-Atlantic financial system, now being pumped with worthless
cryptocurrencies and speculative investments in artificial
intelligence (AI), is causing these warmongers to become desperate and
resort to insane tactics – like kidnapping presidents to dismantle
nations – in order to keep the system afloat.
The outlook of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, demands that 2026 must become
the year where nations seize upon her idea of a new security and
development architecture for the world, overcoming 500 years of
colonialism, and reorganizing the bankrupt financial system through a
Global Glass-Steagall bill. The American presidency must adopt the
ideas of not Teddy Roosevelt, but Franklin Roosevelt, including
Glass-Steagall, the Four Freedoms, and the Good Neighbor Policy FDR’s
solutions, and the Ten Principles represent the ideas which American
citizens can take to the streets and organize with now.
