Derail London’s Drive for War, Economic Decoupling, and a U.S. Coup

As we approach the opening of the 75th UN General Assembly next week, as well as the final countdown to the U.S. elections a little over six weeks from now, the British and their war party are on a rampage to escalate their strategic provocations against China and Russia, and to increase their operations for a coup against President Donald Trump and related “strategy of tension” destabilization of the U.S.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche summarized her strategic evaluation at the outset of her Sept. 16 weekly webcast: “The strategic situation is one of total confrontation on the side of the war party and its British and neocon elements in the U.S., against Russia and China.… I think between now and the U.S. election, we have to expect an escalation of tension, and be on high alert.… The climate is so thoroughly poisoned [against China and Russia], that between now and Nov. 3 there is the danger that these things could go out of control.”

Zepp-LaRouche stressed the two most effective points of intervention to derail the British drive for war and a U.S. coup: “That is why we are pushing so hard to get a summit, on the level of the presidents of the U.S., Russia and China, minimally, or the P5 permanent five members of the UN Security Council, because we have to get off this geopolitical confrontation which can get out of control. Because if it does, it may be too late.” She added: “Apart from the summit, the other thing that people can do, well before the U.S. election, is to bring out the whole scandal that there was no Russiagate, that this was an operation of British intelligence;… and blow up the coup!”

Just look at the policy profile of the ongoing coup attempt against President Trump: it’s being run by those forces that want perpetual American wars, up to and including a direct confrontation with Russia and China. Last week, comments by former Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis were rolled out, where he informed then-DNI Dan Coats that “there may come a time when we have to take collective action” against Trump. Mattis and Trump parted ways because Trump was insisting that American troops had to be pulled out of Syria, and Mattis refused to implement that policy. Now this week, Gen. H.R. McMaster was interviewed by CBS “60 Minutes,” where the British-linked former National Security Adviser bragged he had managed to convince President Trump to not pull out of Afghanistan, but then had to leave the administration when Trump “reneged” on McMaster’s commitment to perpetual war.

With President Trump focused on the upcoming election, and hampered by the ongoing coup operations, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is on an unconstrained rampage on behalf of the British Empire. He has deployed Under Secretary of State Keith Krach on the highest-level visit to Taiwan in many years, to work on economic deals (including a possible Free Trade Agreement), and to reportedly prepare seven separate arms deals. According to press accounts, Pompeo will brief President Trump sometime later this week — no doubt to present him with a fait accompli. It is well known that the Chinese government considers Taiwan an absolute red line in its foreign relations.

And then Pompeo and his sidekick Elliott Abrams will return to the UN Security Council this weekend to press the issue of the “snapback” imposition of full sanctions on Iran. Even though 13 out of 15 countries on the UNSC are opposed to Washington’s move, both Pompeo and Abrams made it clear that they intend to proceed regardless — and impose sanctions on any third country that doesn’t go along with American sanctions against Iran. This is guaranteed to produce a train wreck in U.S. relations with Russia and China, if carried out. It is the British Empire’s strategy of inciting a full decoupling of the depression-wracked U.S. economy from the countries with which it most needs to ally — especially China and Russia — if it is to break with Wall Street and adopt the economic recovery policies elaborated by Lyndon LaRouche over the last 50 years.

Those LaRouche development policies for the entire world will be featured at a LaRouche international youth movement conference on Sept. 26. Young speakers from around the world will explain how different their respective impoverished nations and regions would be today, if LaRouche’s policies had been adopted over the last half-century. That same conference will also take up the pressing issue of the full strategic implications of the Lyndon LaRouche case, and why LaRouche and his ideas must be fully exonerated now.
