This week’s issue of EIR magazine has been released, and contrasts the necessary pathway to take the world out of its present political and economic crisis with the choices currently being taken in the West, for example by President Trump. In our economics section, we feature the “America’s 250th Birthday General Welfare Act” by Paul Gallagher, which outlines the proper approach to deal with the impending bankruptcy of the trans-Atlantic financial system. Accompanying this is a proposed draft legislation for the Glass-Stegall Act and a new National Bank. On the flip side, we include an article by Tobias Faku on the catastrophic outlook for Germany’s economy, and what policies there must be reversed to avert catastrophe. Our selection from Lyndon LaRouche this week, “People First!” takes up the same question, of how to reorganize a bankrupt financial system, and why the citizens are always the priority over financial “assets.”
Next, we feature a package on the true history of the Monroe Doctrine, which is often confused with the later abomination, the “Roosevelt Corollary.” This reprinted article illustrates what the original intention of the Monroe Doctrine was—namely, to keep the British and European imperialists out of the Western hemisphere in defense of the principle of sovereignty for every nation in the Americas. This Doctrine was defended and evoked by many Ibero American leaders throughout the 19th and early 20th Centuries when they came under attack by the long arm of European colonial powers.
Lastly, we feature an interview with Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende, conducted by Diane Sare. Van den Ende has lived in Russia for over three years now after being banned from her home country in 2022, and her insights provide a unique perspective on the current geopolitical conflict, both from within Russia as well as from the eyes of a European. This issue also includes the latest webcast by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “Global Glass-Steagall, Not Global NATO.”
EIR provides in-depth analysis of subjects that you won’t find anywhere else, and we encourage you to become a subscriber.
