While there is a real possibility that a new security and development architecture may be advanced through the intense efforts of various of the world’s Presidents—among them Russia’s Putin, China’s Xi Jinping, Brazil’s Lula—to engage the second Trump Administration in a dialogue about “peace through development”—the outlook enunciated by Pope Paul VI in his groundbreaking encyclical Populorum Progressio—such a transformation in the American outlook, for historical reasons, cannot succeed without the adoption, in some approximation, of the physical economic solutions of the economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. The LaRouche Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, also known as “the Middle East,” illustrates why. Gaza and the West Bank—the State of Palestine—cannot be treated merely as a construction site, rather than a civilizational crossroads.

The fact that this is the crossroads of not only Africa, Asia and Europe, but of the Islamic, Christian and Jewish faiths and cultures can be its strength, and not be its weakness, when approached from above. Rebuilding is necessary, true, but water and peaceful nuclear power, not oil speculation, mass deportations and war, must be its future. The LaRouche Oasis Plan can only be implemented through a combination of China, Russia and the United States leading that effort. No one of those nations is trusted by itself to lead an effort together, with the neighbors in Southwest Asia. Together, however, such a thing can be done, such a miracle can be achieved. The joint implementation of the Oasis Plan, or an approximation of it, must become a topic of discussion among the three leaders in the immediate future.

The institutional opposition to LaRouche and his Oasis Plan, composed, in its essentials, over 50 years ago, came, not from Southwest Asia, but from the “Henry Kissinger” Anglo-American intelligence agencies that still oppose it today. These agencies, used regularly by powerful financial forces to violate the United States Constitution and its Preamble’s “promotion of the General Welfare” clause, have to be restructured, or abolished. The very welcome release of the JFK, MLK and RFK assassination files—but only now, decades after the occurrence of those events—demonstrates why.

After those assassinations of the 1960s, the unjust persecution and eventual imprisonment of Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, over the course of the 1980s in particular, allowed for a later intensified “assault on the Presidency.” This was undertaken in the 1990s by British intelligence operative Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, who, operating against then-President Bill Clinton, played an important role in securing Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. Then, through the efforts of British intelligence operative Christopher Steele and MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove, among others, the near-destruction of the Presidential office, specifically through “Russiagate” and the two impeachments of Donald Trump in his 2017-2021 Presidential term, was almost secured.

The near-ruination of America’s national security capability—and through it, the American Republic itself—by means of criminal, treasonous operations carried out through the “special relationship” with British intelligence, and its extension known as “the Five Eyes,” had brought the Presidency to the precipice of disaster, from September 11, 2001, until the recent process leading up to the election of November 5, 2024. (This involved not only the American elections, but also the emergence of the BRICS and BRICS-Plus nations during 2023 and 2024, including their attempted role in the Ukraine conflict, and especially South Africa’s role at the International Court of Justice.) If the appointments to the position of Director of National Intelligence and head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) go through as proposed, that corrosive U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” can undergo a political root-canal.

With respect to Tulsi Gabbard, 60 intelligence professionals have just endorsed the Gabbard nomination for Director of National Intelligence.

The input into the President, particularly on international security and military matters that will determine whether millions of people on this planet live or die, or are displaced through war, must be taken out of the hands of those that have placed us on the precipice of self-extinction. The function of the Director of National Intelligence, the person who leads the daily briefing of the President, is decisive. While, generally speaking, the candidates that Trump has proposed have gotten through, it is essential in these next days to mobilize the American people and others to ensure that this particular nomination, and the nomination of Kash Patel, go through. Those presently hiding in the bowels of the 18 intelligence agencies who are having conniptions about this role being given to someone who is not a member of the so-called “deep state,” are not worried so much about Gabbard, but about what it will mean for the American people to be so aroused as to demand transparency and accountability from those agencies.

During a Tuesday morning discussion on Jan. 28 with Judge Andrew Napolitano, Ambassador Chas Freeman, referring to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that was the immediate flashpoint initiating the killing of what could now be as many as 200,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, observed that “intelligence failures are more often failures of intellect, than failures of information.” Economist Lyndon LaRouche, the founder of Executive Intelligence Review in 1974, remarked to his associates that “All work is intelligence, essentially. The only important work we do is intelligence work. Which means that everybody ought to be in the deliberative process—those who are doing the daily processing of gathering of input, meeting more frequently, but everybody involved in it. Otherwise, they’re not being intelligent. And that’s a terrible thing, is not to be an intelligent form of life, huh? That’ll send you to the dogs real quick.” Let us in these next hours and days, not only demand, but begin to clean out the Augean stables of the “deep state.”
