April 2, 2026—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute and widow of the late American statesman and economist Lyndon H. LaRouche, issued the following statement today:
On Feb. 24, 2021, I published a letter where I demanded that Barbara Boyd and a number of other individuals associated with the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC) “immediately cease and desist, both now and in the future” from “using Mr. LaRouche’s name,
likeness, and potentially other confusingly similar terms.” The content of that statement still stands, and people should reread it. It is, however, urgent that it be updated at this time.
After an amazing, universal approval of every single policy of the Trump administration, as if not only Trump himself but even the worst neocon and neoliberal elements of his team were more infallible than the Pope—such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and his brazen promotion of cryptocurrency and every imaginable form of financial speculation—Mrs. Boyd and her gaggle have definitely abdicated from the human species by supporting Trump’s war of aggression against Iran. When Trump threatens to “bomb Iran back to the stone age” he is openly bragging that he is waging war against the Iranian people, and that is a war crime.
