Nuclear War — The Unavoidable Item on Everyone’s Agenda

On this 75th Anniversary of the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the British puppet Harry Truman, aimed only at terrorizing the world into accepting the One World Government envisioned by the British Empire, there is now daily deliberation in the halls of power in every major power on Earth on the extreme danger of a nuclear war taking place again today. Most of the world’s press are quoting former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s words in Foreign Affairs: “The question now being asked, quietly but nervously, in capitals around the world is, where will this end? The once unthinkable outcome—actual armed conflict between the United States and China—now appears possible for the first time since the end of the Korean War. In other words, we are confronting the prospect of not just a new Cold War, but a hot one as well.” The next three months, between now and the U.S. election, are the most prone to an incident that leads to war, he warns. The current Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, when asked about Rudd’s warning, said he agreed.

The Russian Defense Ministry’s newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda has posted a detailed description of the Russian policy on the first use of nuclear weapons, as had been announced by Vladimir Putin on June 2. There are two situations which could justify such a first use, they write: first, upon “reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territory of Russia and (or) its allies,” since Russia would not know if the missile were nuclear armed or not; and second, any attempt to destroy Russia “as a state,” whether by nuclear or other means. The article takes note of the U.S. withdrawal from multiple international arms agreements, adding: “After the termination of the [New START] treaty, there will be no existing international agreement limiting the strategic arms race, and the hands of the American hawks will be completely untied.”

The sanctions imposed on Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam and ten other leaders by the U.S. yesterday were met by denunciations and ridicule in China, calling them “clowning actions,” “shameless and despicable,” a “blatant and barbaric” interference in China’s internal affairs. The sanctions will seize all property in the U.S. owned by the sanctioned individuals, and freeze any bank accounts. Luo Huining, Beijing’s official representative in Hong Kong, proposed that he would send $100 to President Donald Trump so that he would have something to freeze.

But the danger of war is palpable. The U.K.’s leading role in this lunacy is not at all hidden. Today, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled “It’s Time To Revive the Anglosphere.” The author, Andrew Roberts, is a British historian, and a signer of the Statement of Principles of the British intelligence outfit the Henry Jackson Society, who worked closely with Queen Elizabeth II and her family files in writing a 2018 biography of Winston Churchill, called Churchill: Walking With Destiny. Roberts proposes that Canada, Australia and New Zealand and the U.K. (called Canzuk — four of the Five Eyes) join in an economic and military union, which would “immediately enter the global stage as a superpower, able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. in the great defining struggle of the 21st century against an increasingly revanchist China.” Canzuk could help the U.S. in its assigned role (assigned by the British Empire, of course) as “the world’s policeman” — precisely what President Trump has denounced. “The cost of curbing and containing China’s global ambitions would become the historic role of not one but two superpowers, as it is clear that the EU has no interest in trying to stop Chinese hegemony in Asia.”

Babbling lunatics? Of course. But these are the babbling lunatics who dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, who dragged the “dumb giant” U.S. into fighting the colonialist war in Indochina (after assassinating President John Kennedy) and the colonialist Mideast wars under Anglophiles George Bush and Barack Obama.

Preventing a new war will not come from a new “anti-war movement.” The world is now in a state of global disintegration, with a pandemic, mass starvation, economic decay, a financial bubble at the breaking point, and the danger of thermonuclear war. As the title of the forum being held today by the LaRouche Political Action Committee indicates, it is now a question of “LaRouche’s Four Laws, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” To make it the former rather than the latter, the proposed summit of the heads of state of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a summit which has been agreed upon by all five leaders, but without a fixed date, is absolutely urgent.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called an international conference on Sunday to address the crisis in Lebanon, which President Trump has announced he will attend. It is not clear if Russia and/or China will be attending, although both are deeply involved in sending aid to Lebanon following the explosion, and were already engaged in economic assistance. Perhaps the disaster in Beirut can provide a framework for bringing the world together to address the global crisis as a whole.
