June 25—The Angry Dogs Substack concluded, on June 13, 2026, a more than nine-part series ostensibly on the New Bretton Woods. The author, Matthew Pearce, is a Brit who identifies himself as a founding member of NAFO (North Atlantic Fellas Organization), which, readers will recall, is a creature of the same fascist NATO intelligence networks that spawned the Myrotvorets hit-list and the Ukrainian government’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).

While the series is clearly intended as a hit piece, especially on Lyndon LaRouche, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and the work of their movement over decades to create a new just world economic order, it more resembles a freakout over LaRouche’s success—which itself is quite revealing. It is more useful to focus on what the author reveals about his own thinking and that of those he works for, than to be distracted by the many factual errors and fallacies of composition.

The idea for a New Bretton Woods is framed as entirely authored by LaRouche, but functionally in the nefarious interest of Russia, China, and Iran. Pearce correctly lays out several points of LaRouche’s approach: Sovereign credit instead of debt; backed by physical production and development, especially heavy infrastructure, rather than gold; converting nations into producers, rather than just sources of raw materials. Every utterance of similar vocabulary is attributed to a smuggling of LaRouche’s ideas into “mainstream” institutions. Individuals cited as part of this are renowned Russian economist Dr. Sergei Glazyev, Dave Goldman, Uwe Parpart, Webster Tarpley, Harley Schlanger, Bill Engdahl, Larry Freeman, Tanu Maitra, and others. They supposedly have foisted these ideas upon individuals such as the U.S. Secretaries of the Treasury Scott Bessent (Jan. 2025-present) and Janet Yellin (2021-2025), American political consultant Roger Stone, former South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation (2019-2024) and current chairperson of the Nelson Mandela Foundation Dr. Naledi Pandor, and former U.S. Rep. (D-OH) and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, etc.

Pearce does give the game away a bit in insisting that the dollar’s reserve status, and the SWIFT payments system, used as weapons, are more important for the West’s security and dominance than NATO’s military forces.

Parts Two and Five focus on the LaRouche movement per se, while Part Four features the LaRouche role in the Feb. 19, 2023 Rage Against the War Machine Rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Pearce also singles out the importance and threat posed by EIR and other publications of the movement.

Some choice quotes from Part Five are included here:

Opening

Lyndon LaRouche died on the 12th of February 2019, in Leesburg, Virginia, aged 96. He had been a federal-fraud convict for thirty years, an eight-time presidential candidate, the author of a body of cosmological writing that ranged from the merely eccentric to the medically interesting, and the sort of figure that political obituarists reach for the word “fringe” to dispose of. The New York Times obituary ran to nine paragraphs. The Washington Post gave him eleven. Both treated the death as a footnote.

This was the most consequential editorial misjudgement of the decade.

The doctrine survived. More than survived…. Helga Zepp-LaRouche, LaRouche’s German-born widow and the founder of the Schiller Institute in 1984, took the operational succession.

After reviewing all sorts of individuals who have passed in and out of the LaRouche organization over decades, Pearce concludes:

The fact that Goldman worked at Executive Intelligence Review in the late 1970s does not mean every word he writes in 2026 is LaRouche doctrine. The fact that Pandor spoke at a Schiller Institute conference does not mean she takes her foreign-policy line from Helga Zepp-LaRouche. The fact that Stone has interviewed everyone from LaRouche to Bessent does not mean Stone is the load-bearing element in a coherent operation. All of this is correct, taken individually. Taken collectively, it is the structural answer the series is building toward.

The point is not that any one person in this chain were taking direct orders from a deceased convicted fraudster…. The point is that an identifiable network, with continuous personnel, a continuous publication apparatus, and a continuous doctrinal vocabulary, has spent five decades producing the intellectual framework that is now the official rhetoric of cabinet-level positioning in the two largest powers contesting the dollar system….

A man convicted of mail fraud in 1989 has had more sustained influence on twenty-first-century monetary policy than every Nobel laureate in economics combined. The vehicle was his employees. The doctrine outlived the doctrinaire because the doctrinaire was, all along, less important than the apparatus. Lyndon LaRouche was the most successful intellectual entrepreneur in modern American political history, and the measure of the success is that fifty years after he first proposed a New Bretton Woods, the phrase is in two successive Treasury Secretaries’ mouths, across both parties, and nobody is asking where it came from.

Three things should jump out to the astute reader:

1. As Lyndon LaRouche often admonished, his enemies are always far more aware of the power of his ideas and policies than many of his supporters are.

2. The establishment’s attacks tend to attribute their own motives and methods to their opponents. (Laundering assets to hide their aims and origins is a tool used by the MICIMATT,^[1] not the LaRouche movement.)

3. Those who refuse to think creatively will never understand that the power of ideas is far more powerful than doxxing and intimidation.

Notes

1. Former CIA analyst and White House briefer Ray McGovern insists that the term military-industrial complex should be expanded to reflect today’s reality, proposing MICIMATT: the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think Tank complex.
