Sept. 6, 2023 (EIRNS)—In a lengthy Sept. 4 interview with the Sevastopol news portal ForPost, the prominent Russian economist Sergey Glazyev noted that “the transition to national currencies was forced to happen staggeringly quickly,” in response to the dollar being used as a weapon of hybrid warfare against Russia and other countries of the Global Majority. This is a positive development, Glazyev noted, but “in itself, the transition to settlements in national currencies is only a small element of economic security.”

“The new world economic order,” he continued, “will be based on the unification of countries around a common criterion for the growth of people’s well-being, and in international cooperation—around mutual benefit, which is achieved through a synergistic effect, a combination of competitive advantages.”

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2023

Sept. 4, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—The fight is clearly on for a new world system, one that will determine the direction of the world for the coming decades and beyond.

EIR LEAD EDITORIAL FOR MONDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2023

Sept. 3, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—There are certain battles that cannot be avoided and must be won. One such is the battle to get the United States and Western Europe to change their current geopolitical confrontation course with Russia and China, a course meant to enforce the bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system and its unipolar world order. The alternative to winning that fight is probable thermonuclear war.

Sept. 2, 2023 (EIRNS)—Colonialism is over.

India has achieved a magnificent moon landing. China’s EAST tokamak is making breakthroughs on the path towards commercial nuclear fusion. African nations are, one after another, ousting French economic, diplomatic, or military interests, through changes in government. Ukraine’s much-vaunted counteroffensive has gone essentially nowhere. The diplomatic isolation of Russia has not been achieved. The technological blockade of China is being broken from within, by domestic technological advance

Aug. 31, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—A report from Grayzone’s Anya Parampil sums up the situation in the world today. Parampil, who covered the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg last week, spoke to a diplomat from host nation South Africa who had met with Acting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland during her July 29-Aug. 1 visit to South Africa. The diplomat, reported Parampil, said that “Nuland and her team were demonstrably unprepared to grapple with recent developments on the African continent,” and she quoted the diplomat that, “ ‘In over 20 years working with the Americans, I have never seen them so desperate.’ ”

Aug. 28, 2023 (EIRNS)—We are in the period in which the direction of history will be decided. Following the breakthroughs of last week—the BRICS expansion, NDB promise for development credit, India’s Moon landing—the world has before it an historic choice. There is the side of the BRICS: progress, science, justice, peace and a future. Or there is the side of the current collective West: decadence, colonialization, warfare and worse.

In this evaluation put forward today by Schiller Institute founder and leader Helga Zepp-LaRouche, she made the point once again, that the goal of the Schiller Institute is to succeed with collaborators, so that the Global North will join the side of humanity. Her international Appeal from Aug. 20 is circulating, “Appeal to the Citizens of the Global North: We Must Support the Construction of a new Just World Economic Order!” Let Us Join Hands with the Global Majority To Create a New Chapter in World History!”
