Israeli Orchestra Conductor: Stop the Genocide Now
Sept. 20, 2025 (EIRNS)—Yesterday, Sept. 19, at noon, was the deadline set by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the besieged residents of Gaza City to depart south. The IDF offered not even a pretense of the means for the exodus, nor for a livable destination to reach. Netanyahu cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich said that this is “the demolition phase” of Gaza, in a speech last week, saying that rebuilding by Israelis for a Gaza real estate boom will come next. As noontime passed yesterday, the IDF marked the deadline by issuing a statement presenting its deadly plans for the half-million people still remaining.

The IDF Gaza City clear-out deadline was set to occur one day after the expiration date set by the UN General Assembly last year, for Israel to stop its behavior in the Gaza Strip and the other territories it occupied. The UN General Assembly in 2024 ordered Israel to comply by Sept. 18, 2025 with rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), that Israel must cease its killing practices. Instead, Israel’s actions intensified to becoming genocide, most recently acknowledged by the UN. On Sept. 16, a report was released by a team of independent experts commissioned by the UN Human Rights Council, which documents that Israel’s actions against Palestinians in Gaza “meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

Yesterday’s IDF statement, and remarks by other Israeli authorities, reported that some 480,000 Palestinians have streamed out of Gaza City since late August, under miserable conditions. There are at least 400,000 remaining. They will be among those of the “North” in the Gaza Strip, whom all will be considered as “collective Hamas” very soon: That is, targets for mass death. The IDF plans within a week to completely encircle Gaza City, apart from the seacoast. The IDF will build up the Netzarim Corridor, which runs east-west, south of Gaza City, which will split the Gaza Strip in two, and be used for Israel’s total control of both parts of the territory. Israel reports statistics, including that 200 multi-unit residential buildings in Gaza City have been razed; 180 robots and vehicles with explosives were deployed.

Israel is now rightly seen as a renegade from morality, from every angle of its conduct—mass murder in Gaza, to bombing in the Persian Gulf, as well as in the Levant, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. But Israel remains backed up by the United States, and “Extended Britain,” meaning Tony Blair and cohort U.K. networks doing their dirty work at large.

There are extraordinary denunciations of this. Israeli orchestra conductor Ilan Volkov spoke out in London last week, right from the podium, after a symphony performance at the Royal Albert Hall, saying, “I ask you all to do whatever is in your power to stop this madness. Every little action counts while governments hesitate and wait.” Since then, he returned to his homeland of Israel to protest at the Gaza border. He was arrested there yesterday, along with three others. He insisted, “We need to stop the genocide now.”

It is far past time for nations to likewise act deliberately and with conviction, which means for citizens to mobilize their governments, especially in the United States, for diplomacy based on justice. No “protocol” is needed for nations to collaborate on emergency measures. Moreover, the protocol actually does pre-exist.

Under the UN General Assembly Resolution 377 titled “Unity for Peace” (passed in 1950), the UNGA can approve specified emergency measures. In fact, in June this year, the UN General Assembly voted 149 (yes) to 12 (no) with 19 abstentions, for a set of actions demanded of Israel. The June 12 UN press release states:

In summary, “The General Assembly today demanded that Israel, the occupying Power, immediately end the blockade in Gaza, open all border crossings, and ensure that aid reaches the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip immediately and at scale.” This UNGA action has 20 points and does not provide for enforcement, but the protocol and principle are clear. In fact, technically, the UNGA has an ongoing session on the matter, called the “Tenth Emergency Special Session.”

On Monday, Sept. 22, the UNGA is scheduled to deliberate from 3 to 6 p.m. (EDT) at its High Level Conference on Palestine Statehood. Saudi Arabia, as a co-facilitator of this session along with France, will be represented by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, via video. The UNGA voted approval of his off-site participation yesterday. The Palestinian involvement will be very limited, since the U.S. State Department refused to approve visas for many Palestinians. In fact, the United States and Israel both voted against allowing even an off-site video presentation by Mahmoud Abbas, representing the Palestinian Authority. The UNGA however, approved him speaking by 145 (yes) to 5 (no, including the U.S. and Israel, plus Narou, Palau, and Paraguay). Whatever happens at Monday’s UNGA meeting is a call to action, not a call to halt.

French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to attend the Sept. 22 UNGA session in person. He and Crown Prince Mohammed spoke by phone today. There is a growing number of countries announcing their intent to recognize a Palestinian state. For example, Portugal is expected to announce this Sunday, Sept. 21. The glaring “blank” in this picture is the lack of mobilizing for immediate action, for emergency aid, and for undertaking a full economic reconstruction and development program throughout the greater region. The long-standing Oasis Plan put forward by Lyndon LaRouche in 1975, addresses this necessity. The “New York Declaration” arising out of the process of deliberation organized by Saudi Arabia and France in July this year, and passed by the UNGA Sept. 12, mentions economic viability, but with no substance.

Washington is currently swinging an economic wrecking ball throughout the region. Causing terrible damage, it at the same time is furthering collaboration among nations against the City of London-Wall Street geopolitical axis. Yesterday the U.S. State Department ordered that Iran’s premier port of Chabahar will have heavy sanctions on it as of Sept. 29, which had been under a waiver since 2018. Chabahar is the key intermodal point of rail and sea shipping along the main route of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), serving India, through Iran to Russia, directly involving the Caucasus, Central Asia, and in particular, Afghanistan. At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Heads of State Council meeting Aug. 31-Sept. 1 in Tianjin, China, the INSTC was a major topic of discussion for expansion. Only three weeks later, the United States (with the blessing of London) has targeted the chief port of the INSTC.

The U.S. State Department also yesterday unilaterally nixed a long-sought deal for Iraq to get natural gas from Turkmenistan, piped through Iran. The State Department declared this out of bounds because it would benefit Iran.

Taken altogether—the destruction of economies, the bombings, the financial weaponization, and, most of all, the genocide in Gaza—these are multiple grounds for mobilizing as never before to stop all this. The 120th consecutive weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition just took place on Friday, Sept. 19. Join in the next one on Friday, Sept. 26.

Attend and support the policy conference drive by the Schiller Institute. The next event takes place in Paris, Nov. 8, 2025. The title of the day-long event in Paris is, “Africa, Global Majority: Together for Emancipation and Peace.”

The invitation to the Paris conference states: “Young people from around the world will come to defend their vision of the world to come, and their solutions for achieving peace, bringing with them the voices of Africa, the countries of the global majority, and every other nation and people fighting for true emancipation, peace, solidarity, and progress for all.” Plan to attend, either in person or remotely. Support the conference process.

The 119th consecutive weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) began with remarks by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute Founder and initiator of the International Peace Coalition. She said that “the world is completely out of order,” cataloguing the latest eruptions: the up...

Time to Get Out of the British Royal Doll House, and Face the Music (of The Spheres)
Sept. 19, 2025 (EIRNS)—While President Trump was being submerged in goofy royal pomp and circumstance at large dinners attended by people who believe themselves to be superior to the rest of the human race, the majority of the world was responding to reality and acting accordingly.

As German Poet of Freedom Friedrich Schiller said, “There is a limit to a tyrant’s power.” That limit has now been reached, and the burning question is, whether anyone near the U.S. President will figure that out and inform him that the Global Majority is no longer playing by what the senile Joe Biden called the “rules-based order”?

A few recent examples:

The Israeli strikes on Qatar aimed to kill the Hamas negotiators not only failed to do so, but also succeeded in uniting Sunni, Shia, Arab, Persian and Asian nations. Pakistan will now include Saudi Arabia under its nuclear umbrella, and invited Iran to observe the discussion to assure Iran that this is in no way directed against them. Egypt applauded the move and may soon join the agreement. Türkiye is also part of this new dynamic.

Prior to this, recall that the threatened tariffs against India for purchasing Russian oil only drove India into closer partnership with Russia and even China.

Despite Iran’s Sept. 9 agreement, signed in Egypt, to allow the IAEA to resume inspections of its nuclear facilities, the UN Security Council voted to “snap back” draconian sanctions on that country. China and Russia have publicly stated that they consider this action illegal and will not abide by it. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, speaking on the Sept. 19 International Peace Coalition call, noted that if Bibi Netanyahu persuades U.S. President Donald Trump to support another strike on Iran (as many analysts believe he will attempt to do in his upcoming visit), it is unlikely that China and Russia will stand down, in the same way they did earlier.

The assasination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is another inflection point inside the United States, particularly among the younger MAGA base, who are angry that “America First” seems to actually mean “Israel First,” and believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Max Blumenthal (not MAGA) and others have noted that Kirk expressed his unhappiness with the pressure being brought to bear on him by his former Zionist funders, including Bill Ackman, who had invited him to his Long Island Hamptons estate in early August, along with many other social media influencers to get the pro-Israel talking points under control. Reportedly Kirk refused the offered funding, and refused an invitation from Netanyahu to visit Israel.

Netanyahu, for his part, is protesting loudly on multiple platforms that Charlie Kirk was devoted to Israel, and was one of his best friends, and had been planning to visit, and that anyone who claimed otherwise was spreading “outrageous lies!”

That being reported, we must not fall into the simplistic trap of blaming Netanyahu (or Zelenskyy) for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Both of these theatrical characters are controlled assets of a dying imperial order, based in the City of London and Wall Street and their lackeys in the intelligence community and news media. They are seeking to maintain power through force, bribery, and terror, which is not working, leading them to employ more desperate measures which will backfire. However, breaking the grip of their lying narrative is not enough.

We must become as dangerous as former American Presidential Candidate Lyndon LaRouche, who many will recall was labeled an “anti-semite” decades ago, by such unsavory groups as the ADL and by pro-drug scribbler Dennis King.

LaRouche was attacked as “anti-semitic,” not because he identified the crimes of Israel, but because he was organizing for a new, just international economic order, and was recruiting leaders from around the world to join him. The pro-British imperial order enforcers in London and Wall Street wanted to smear LaRouche in order to prevent others from working with him, and to prevent him from being able to recruit young people across the United States, as he did in the late 1960s, and later during his 2000 and 2004 campaigns for the U.S. Presidency. They knew that the economic policies LaRouche was promoting would work, and would allow billions of people from many nations around the world to attain true sovereignty and independence, as John Quincy Adams and every true American patriot has desired.

With the recent meetings in Tianjin, Beijing, Vladivostok, the BRICS virtual meeting hosted by Brazil, and the latest meeting in Doha, this new order is becoming unstoppable. No nation will ever voluntarily return to slavery, and that is a true principle of the universe. Humanity yearns to be free, in the sense that American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt expressed in his famous “Four Freedoms”: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. It is time for the American people to reject the British Royal obscenity and return to the mission of our founders!

This is the natural polyphonic direction of humanity, and would be the obvious way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s call with President Donald Trump on Sept. 19 is a perfect antidote to a Halloween-like visit to Windsor Castle, but it isn’t enough. The American people should engage in intense study of the writings of Lyndon LaRouche, and prepare for our nation to participate in the new paradigm of mankind.

Have We Stepped Beyond the Rule of Law, and Into the Abyss?
Sept. 17, 2025 (EIRNS)—What are your plans for lunch this Friday?

In Gaza City, the announced plan over the next 48 hours is for genocide against its 1 million inhabitants. Reuters reported on Sept. 17: “The Israeli military said on Wednesday it was opening an additional route for 48 hours that Palestinians could use to leave Gaza City…. In leaflets dropped over Gaza City, the military said Palestinians could use the newly reopened Salah al-Din Road to escape toward the south and that they had until lunchtime on Friday to do so.”

Some are attempting to flee Gaza. But the vast majority will not be able to do so. They will predictably perish before the advancing land and aerial assault by the Israel Defense Forces, which is designed to raze Gaza to the ground. High-rise apartment buildings are already being blown up and demolished, in a macabre reminder of Sept. 11 in New York City.

“If the whole world and its institutions—including the UN—are unable to stop this public horror,” Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche warned today, “then we have stepped into a new era—and it is not a pretty one.” Zepp-LaRouche told her weekly webcast audience: “We are in mortal danger of a civilizational collapse. It is not inevitable, but action must be taken to stop it.”

International law is being rapidly deconstructed, leaving nothing but the law of the jungle. In addition to the 2 million Gazans who are the direct victims of ongoing genocide, Mankind itself is being subjected to mass brainwashing: “See? You can’t stop this. You are nothing but beasts, so you may as well learn to live (and die) by the law of the jungle.”

The same project, in different garb, is underway against Constitutional law in the United States and other nations. The public ex*****on of political figure Charlie Kirk before a horrified audience of 3,000 largely youth has opened up the Pandora’s box of calls for violent retribution on both sides of the political spectrum, as well as demands that so-called “hate speech”—i.e., freedom of expression—be prosecuted as a crime.

Both developments—the Gaza genocide and Kirk’s murder—are part of a broader international Strategy of Tension being waged by the London-based financial elite, an oligarchical force which is prepared to do anything—anything—to stop the world from adopting an alternative to their bankrupt system. They are guided by decades of evil research by the likes of William Sargent, Kurt Lewin and Eric Trist at London’s Tavistock Institute into the ways in which terror and chaos can be intentionally used to make people more suggestible and malleable to policies they otherwise would reject out of hand.

Some have adequately described the “What” of this Strategy of Tension: “It is a political policy that encourages violent struggle to create a climate of fear and insecurity, leading the public to seek security in a strong national-security state. It involves deployment of state or non-state actors to promote violence and chaos to manipulate public perception and political outcomes,” according to one Wikipedia entry.

Others have reported on the “How” or the mechanics of such operations. For example, Russian FSB expert Lt. Col. (ret.) Andrey Popov told Sputnik that Kirk’s assassin “wasn’t necessarily a pro, and may have been an ordinary American with fi****ms experience groomed and manipulated into becoming a willing killer, either by partisan media or even security services…. U.S. security agencies are known to run an entire cohort of informal ‘agents,’ identified ahead of time, led on, controlled and given the chance to carry out their crime, after which they are liquidated or allowed to disappear.”

But only Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche have provided an answer to the question that few even bother to ask about the Strategy of Tension: “Why?” What is the intention of the policy? Only asking and answering that question provides hope of a solution to the descent into the abyss.

LaRouche wrote in March 2004 about a pair of terror incidents that had just occurred:

“Both acts were part of a global ‘strategy of tension’ eruption, aimed at creating conditions of worldwide chaos and ungovernability. Taken from the top down, these incidents represent a systematic campaign by Synarchist banking circles to blow up the world, rather than allow sovereign nation-states act to reorganize the doomed post-Bretton Woods floating exchange-rate system.”

Likewise, Helga Zepp-LaRouche told her webcast audience this Sept. 17:

“The strategy of tension is a method by which oligarchical governments use terrorism, assassinations, destabilizations, large-scale instigated demonstrations, and all kinds of such measures to divert attention from what is the real issue … [which is what the Global Majority is] moving very clearly in the direction of building a new system … against the quick profit approach of Wall Street, the City of London, the Silicon Valley, and similar financial places.”

How, then, do we defeat the Strategy of Tension? First of all, by changing the subject back to the central issue facing Mankind: replacing the evil, bankrupt Wall Street and City of London system with one worthy of Man’s dignity. And then make sure that we rally the nations of the West to join with the New Paradigm that is already taking shape among the nations of the Global Majority.

Mobilizing around the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, and on the streets of the nations of the world, to force an end to the genocide in Gaza, is an all-important step along that path to victory.

The Polyphony of Reason and Victory
Sept. 16, 2025 (EIRNS)—We must seek to, using all possible means at our disposal, to build a new emerging leadership of Western Europe and the United States, fit to collaborate with the aspiring greatness of the increasingly confident Global Majority. The barbarity evident in not only the concept of war, but also the concept of man advocated by the War Party since the advent of atomic war in 1945, and personified in Winston Churchill’s “Operation Unthinkable,” has infected large sections of the trans-Atlantic population—though that disease is not yet terminal. There is resistance, but it is weak. The population must develop the intellectual strength and stamina to devise, propose, advocate, and successfully defend, not only solution concepts such as the LaRouche Oasis Plan, but their advocates as well.

On Monday, Sept. 15, the Schiller Institute took its campaign for the Oasis Plan to the United Nations, in collaboration with several other organizations. The focus was to inspire the more than 193 nations of the world represented there to enact Resolution 377A, “Uniting For Peace,” and to, as early as September 18, join together as one, to declare that the genocide now widely acknowledged to be in process in Gaza be immediately halted. There are several actions that Resolution 377 authorizes the United Nations to take, including sanctions, a military embargo, etc., but what is truly important is that the world calls not Israel, but itself to account, to stop this ongoing crime against humanity.

Even the former chairman of the Munich Security Conference Christoph Heusgen, who is no “peacenik,” has vigorously demanded that Germany must abide by the code of justice asserted as international law at the end of World War Two, and comply with the judgments of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice regarding Benjamin Netanyahu. “The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has determined that there is a risk of genocide in Gaza. Israel has not implemented the ICJ’s requirements, such as effective measures to deliver humanitarian aid. On the contrary, people are starving. There is therefore a real danger that Germany, if it supplies weapons that are used in Gaza, will be convicted of aiding and abetting genocide. That would be devastating.”

Why is the world paralyzed in the face of genocide? We must look at the popular culture of the trans-Atlantic world. Look particularly at the music people listen to. Look at what is called “gaming culture.” Then, read (as much as you can stomach) the writings of T.W. Adorno on The Philosophy of Modern Music or Sociology and Philosophy. On Sunday, Sept. 14, in its Memorial Concert for 9/11, the Schiller Institute performed the little-known Requiem of Luigi Cherubini, in preparation for the tasks to be undertaken at the United Nations in the next weeks.

Classical culture must accompany any concept of victory for the good that we intend to implement in the world today. In Classical music, the idea of polyphony, the unity of many different instrumentalists and singers, assembled into various distinct voice-groups, all at the service of a single idea, the musical composition, is the embodiment of how a true republic should run. The purpose, the mission of the ensemble, is to move the mind of the listeners, and of the musical ensemble itself, to produce a unity of effect in the mind of the audience, such that all, musicians and listeners alike, leave the performance individuals better than when they entered it. This must also become the form of our political practice.

The Schiller Institute, and its collaborators in the International Peace Coalition, refused to be deterred by the chilling effect that had caused others to cancel events in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. That is not to make light of the security situation that, in fact, now shadows politics in the United States—including at the White House. Since, however, the genocide is ongoing, and the United Nations must act, the International Peace Coalition rallied nonetheless.

It began with invocations offered by Fr. Harry Bury, a Catholic priest for 70 years, and a peace activist since the days of the Vietnam War; Rabbi Dovid Feldman, spokesman for Neturei Karta International; and Rafed Aljoboury, Chairman of Integrity Political Action Committee, and chief organizer of the rally, along with Josephine Guilbeau, a 17-year U.S. Army veteran, Associate Director of Eisenhower Media Network. Speeches were heard from many different organizations, and the rally was also addressed by Bronx U.S. Congressional candidate Jose Vega and former United States Senate candidate in New York Diane Sare. Later, the organizers gathered for a discussion that turned into a Socratic symposium, in which Fr. Bury put forward the idea that the Oasis Plan was the same as the very idea of peace itself. “The idea is to bring development to less-developed nations. The idea is to build rather than destroy. What else could the idea of peace mean?” He also said that “something that I learned from Helga Zepp-LaRouche, even at my age, is to question your assumptions.” That approach is the only approach through which the nations of the trans-Atlantic can regain their moral sanity and their right to stand beside the emerging, forward-thinking new world economic order that is coming into being.
