   It’s 2026 Where Is The American Presidency

   The year 2026 has opened with a literal bang. The U.S. military, under President Trump’s orders, attacked the sovereign nation of Venezuela and captured its democratically elected President, Nicholas Maduro, along with his wife, flying them out of the country. Statements from Russia, Brazil, and Mexico have already been issued, condemning the attack and insisting that further escalation be prevented. They recommended focusing on a way out of the situation through dialogue. Brazilian President Lula said the attack “crosses the line of what is unacceptable. These acts represent a very serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty and set another extremely dangerous precedent for the international community.” ”Attacking countries in flagrant violation of international law,” he continued “is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over multilateralism.” This illegal attack follows the just-thwarted attempt by Ukraine, or NATO forces acting in the form of Ukraine, to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin at his residence on the evening of Dec. 29th. The situation has been further compounded by the New Year’s Eve drone attack on a Russian cafe in Kherson, in which at least 28 civilians were killed, and many more wounded. British intelligence agencies, who want nothing more than to derail the nascent attempt at diplomacy underway by the Trump Administration with Russia, are pumping the narrative that President Putin lied about the attack to justify Russia’s war on Ukraine—a ridiculous falsehood on the face of it. Add to this the mad attempt to install advanced tactical nuclear weapon systems in Germany and Europe, in preparation for "defense" in a future war with Russia, and you have the short term makings for a thermonuclear World War III. As the world descends into the law of the jungle, the ever-clearer reality of the disintegration of the trans-Atlantic financial system, now being pumped with worthless cryptocurrencies and speculative investments in artificial intelligence (AI), is causing these warmongers to become desperate and resort to insane tactics – like kidnapping presidents to dismantle nations – in order to keep the system afloat. The outlook of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, demands that 2026 must become the year where nations seize upon her idea of a new security and development architecture for the world, overcoming 500 years of colonialism, and reorganizing the bankrupt financial system through a Global Glass-Steagall bill. The American presidency must adopt the ideas of not Teddy Roosevelt, but Franklin Roosevelt, including Glass-Steagall, the Four Freedoms, and the Good Neighbor Policy FDR’s solutions, and the Ten Principles represent the ideas which American citizens can take to the streets and organize with now.

   Dr. Gershon Baskin: Key Backchannel Negotiator Peace Plan Requires Large-Scale Development

   EIR News Interview: Dr. Gershon Baskin on the Gaza Ceasefire and the Path to Lasting Peace In this in-depth 28-minute conversation, renowned Israeli peace advocate and negotiator Dr. Gershon Baskin – the architect of the 2011 Gilad Shalit exchange and a key behind-the-scenes figure linking Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff with Hamas representatives – discusses how the current Gaza ceasefire was achieved and what must happen next for it to endure. Key points include: • President Trump’s critical intervention, made possible by regional cooperation and U.S. leadership in humanitarian coordination and multinational peacekeeping • The absolute necessity of large-scale economic development and reconstruction in Gaza – in line with the principles of the Oasis Plan – to create hope and overcome decades of mutual distrust • Why joint infrastructure projects involving Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Arab states, the United States, and China offer the most realistic path forward • The role Qatar can play in bridging U.S. and Chinese cooperation, and why excluding BRICS nations would undermine the Abraham Accords and regional prosperity • Marwan Barghouti’s possible release: Baskin’s long-standing support for it, concerns about his condition after years of harsh treatment, and the importance of free Palestinian elections • One-state vs. two-state realities: why only mutual recognition of each people’s right to national self-determination can work • Baskin’s positive response to the Westphalian principle of “the advantage of the other” and Nicholas of Cusa’s approach to resolving contradictions on a higher plane Here, one of Israel’s most experienced negotiators expresses strong alignment with the development-oriented, great-power-cooperation framework that EIR and the LaRouche movement have advocated for decades. 🔔 Subscribe to EIR News for strategic intelligence and solutions-oriented analysis #GazaCeasefire #OasisPlan #MiddleEastPeace #GershonBaskin #TrumpDiplomacy #ChinaMiddleEast #BRICS #TwoStateSolution #EconomicDevelopment -------- This video is copyrighted by EIR News Service Inc.

   Pino Arlacchi – We Can Defeat Dope Inc. and Win a New Paradigm

   Join us for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Pino Arlacchi, former UN Under-Secretary-General and global expert on organized crime and drug policy. In this powerful conversation, Arlacchi pulls no punches: Venezuela & Trump’s Policy: “I’m shocked by this behavior” – a blatant violation of sovereignty and international law. It’s not about drugs; it’s about oil, regime change, and geopolitics. Drug Routes & Europe: Analyzing a live map, Arlacchi confirms the reliability of current trafficking patterns and discusses Europe’s role in the global drug trade. Money Laundering & the “Holder Doctrine”: Calls claims of systemic collapse a “blatant exaggeration.” Yes, drug money flows through banks — but it won’t bring down the financial system. The real culprit behind America’s opioid crisis, including fentanyl? Big Pharma and U.S. policy failures. Legalization? No Thanks: “I’m not a prohibitionist,” but legalization won’t solve the problem — it may even make it worse. Afghanistan & Real Solutions: Arlacchi shares his firsthand experience leading UN efforts in Afghanistan, emphasizing economic development and major infrastructure projects as the true path to eliminating drug production. The Bigger Picture: “We have the tools; we can eliminate the drug trade.” But the real global threat? Unregulated financial capital — and why China’s model offers a stark contrast. Arlacchi ends with a bold invitation: a follow-up interview on global finance and power. We’ve accepted. -------- This video is copyrighted by EIR News Service Inc.
