EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR SATURDAY OCTOBER 7, 2023

Oct. 6, 2023 (EIRNS)—It is crystal clear to the world that the weapons flow to Ukraine from the United States, the biggest supplier, has been disrupted by last weekend’s tumult in the House of Representatives, unseating the Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). There is gnashing of teeth by the NATO warhawks. In Europe, chief of the EU diplomacy Josep Borrell appealed for the U.S. to soon, somehow retake its role” in arming Ukraine. He spoke at an Oct. 5 summit of the European Political Community in Granada, Spain, attended by Ukraine President Zelenskyy as well. In the U.S., warhawk circles are mooting various ways to get around Congress, which means evading the Constitutional authority of Congress on war powers. For example, there is talk of reprogramming” Pentagon expenditures already approved by Congress, to divert funding to Ukraine, from other non-Ukraine purposes.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR FRIDAY OCTOBER 6, 2023

Oct. 5, 2023 (EIRNS)—The events in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Canadian House of Commons over the last two weeks have left the political prognosticators and spin-doctors lying in a ditch on the side of the road. The reality they’ve been avoiding is that there really is a massive, deadly financial cancer, and when such a cancer is left to metastasize, nasty and senseless wars ensue.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 2023

Oct. 4, 2023 (EIRNS)—The entire Western system is unravelling at breath-taking speed—economically, politically, socially, in every imaginable way. The fissures are everywhere and in plain view:

• The unprecedented removal of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post on Oct. 3.

• The refusal of Congress to approve a budget including sending another $6 billion to Ukraine for the war.

• An urgent call by President Biden to a dozen fellow Western leaders (Germany, Italy, Japan, NATO, the EU, etc.) to assure them that somehow or other the U.S. would keep sending weapons to Ukraine.

• A panicked Financial Times editorial demanding that unending military aid to Ukraine be locked in place forever, by hook or by crook.

• A report issued documenting the dramatic plunge in U.S. life expectancies over the last decade.

• A former President of the United States gagged by a judge, and threatened with jail if he disobeys.

• A candidate with the most recognized last name in the Democratic Party, threatening to bolt and run for President as an independent.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 4, 2023

Oct. 3, 2023 (EIRNS)—In a shocking development Tuesday evening, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position in the U.S. House.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR TUESDAY OCTOBER 3, 2023

Oct. 2, 2023 (EIRNS)—We will, over the next two weeks, and in a series of activities, organize to place the voice of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Diane Sare, and the Schiller Institute and LaRouche Organization into much greater prominence. The specific locus of concentration in the next days, is in the rapid expansion of the Friday deliberations of the International Peace Coalition. This intersects the temporary political culture shock” in the aftermath of the significant, if not yet decisive, vote in the Congress on this past Saturday, Sept. 30, against including any money for the Ukraine war in the budget bill.”

Anglo-American Imperium Bounds Towards Nuclear War; Growing Necessity and Potential of New Path Forward

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR MONDAY OCTOBER 2, 2023

Oct. 1, 2023 (EIRNS)—It takes a strong stomach, and a stronger conviction to act, to look directly at the evil of the Anglo-American imperium, which has again demonstrated its willingness—no, its desire—to threaten nuclear extermination of the human race rather than give up its hegemony. Grant Shapps, the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Defense, told the Telegraph that he had held talks with Army leaders about moving more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine. He calls on more British defense firms to set up factories in Ukraine. Shapps revealed that he has spoken with Zelenskyy about how Britain’s Royal Navy could play a role in defending commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea. Following a meeting with personnel involved in training Ukrainians in the U.K., Shapps said, I was talking today about eventually getting the training brought closer and actually into Ukraine as well.”

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

Sept. 29, 2023 (EIRNS)—Hopeless would be the wrong way to describe the current situation in the world, although it certainly may appear that way to one who is dispirited. Reports over the recent days have indicated that a new banking crisis may be being ignited, now sparked by what should be the protected bastion of safety: U.S. Treasury Bonds—which have been infected by leveraged investments from hedge funds. This speculative phenomenon runs deep, as the news is only the latest development in a process that has been underway for decades, literally rotting out the economies and nations of the trans-Atlantic from underneath.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2023

Sept. 28, 2023 (EIRNS)—To smell a rat, one did not need to know that the 98-year-old man, trotted out for a feel good” moment when the Canadian Parliament welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sept. 22, was a soldier of the Nazis’ Ukrainian Waffen-SS Galizien Division. The assembly, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, went berserk, just to honor a warrior in World War II against the evil Russians. But there’s something wrong with that picture: Didn’t over a million Canadians fight on the side of the Russians and against the Nazis in that war? Didn’t those Nazis kill some 44,000 Canadians

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2023

Sept. 26, 2023, (EIRNS)—One year ago, a series of explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline that supplied Russian gas to Germany and one of the two lines of Nord Stream 2. This unparalleled act of terrorism against civilian energy infrastructure helped to usher in an enormously expensive winter for Germany and Europe more generally; energy prices increased by an order of magnitude for several months.
