The Fate of Humanity Is Not Yet Decided: It’s Time for You to Act https://www.laroucheorganization.com/
May 27, 2026 (EIRNS)—“Is the human species capable of governing itself,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche asked in her webcast of May 27, “or are we on the path of potential self-destruction?” This question remains to be answered.

The dangerous and very volatile state of the world strategic picture, from the illegal aggressive war against Iran to the deranged continuation of the Ukraine war on the part of Ukraine’s Western sponsors, to countless other hot spots, “require[s] that the adults in the room get together and uphold he idea of [an] international, lawfully ordered society,” Zepp-LaRouche proclaimed.

An important effort to do just that is taking place this week at the United Nations: On May 26, China convened a Security Council open debate on the topic, “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System,” during which Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi observed that “the challenges before us are testing the international community’s commitment to safeguarding peace, its resolve to stand up for justice, and its courage to take bold reforms.” By the time the meeting concludes on May 28, more than 100 governments will have spoken, most laying out the need for a multipolar world centered in international law in order to achieve peace—“a turn to the rule of reason,” in the words of the Panamanian representative.

Meanwhile, the government of Russia continues to warn the world, and particularly the West, that if the growing provocations from the European elites continue, including their ongoing military support for Ukrainian terrorist attacks against Russia, they are “digging their own graves,” as Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Moscow International Security Forum on May 27.

Identifying the modus operandi of the Empire (Epstein) class, which, facing the collapse of their system, is moving to blow up any attempt to replace it, the Russian Embassy in Washington released a statement on Wednesday, May 27, in warning to the U.S. which calls out exactly this outmoded, troglodyte mentality: “EU and NATO leaders, including the masters of intrigue, the British, unwilling to sacrifice their own recruits when the Ukrainians are ground down, are trying to draw the U.S. into their doomed schemes to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia.”

Such a strategic defeat of the world’s largest nuclear power is not possible, as Ryabkov noted to the Moscow Forum, and many other sane voices have warned that to try would mean provoking a civilization-ending nuclear conflict.

Add to this the still unresolved danger of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the end of which might be negotiated in “a few more days,” in the words of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio—or not, including the likelihood that the Netanyahu crowd and their Epstein-class sponsors decide to blow it up.

“We need to completely change the paradigm and move to a new security architecture. You have to go back to when the whole direction went in the wrong way at the time of the German unification, when there was a chance to have a peace order. Everything which has happened since went in the wrong direction. If you want to prevent a catastrophe, I think we have to go back and start from scratch and undo a lot of things which have happened in the last 30-plus years,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche asserted.

An indispensable component of such a new security architecture is the issue of development. This was put on the table at the UN meeting by Wang Yi, who declared that “Development, as the key to all problems, must remain at the center of the international agenda.” It is also the basis of Zepp-LaRouche’s proposal for the Extended Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, endorsed by many prominent figures as a new paradigm solution which could catapult the entire discussion, in the region and elsewhere, to a new domain, thus turning one of the most crisis-ridden areas of the world into the catalyst for a new, human world order.

Such a change will not happen automatically—especially given the culturally and morally depraved state of most of the leadership in the collective West. Citizens of goodwill in all nations must decide to act.

“If things continue, we are going to have a civilizational collapse the dimensions of which people have no inkling yet,” Zepp-LaRouche warned. “[Whether], under these circumstances, the adults in the room can keep their heads above water and shape policies is not yet decided. I think it will depend to a very large extent on how many people take the fate of humanity in their heart and mind and act. We are proposing solutions. We have candidates who are representing these solutions. So, join us.”

🥳Cooperation or (Un)-Controlled Disintegration: The Choice After Beijing
May 14, 2026 (EIRNS)—On May 14, Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met in Beijing and pledged “a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability”—a three-year framework, an institutionalized economic channel, and a high-level calendar through year’s end. The handshake at the Great Hall of the People was the opening of a possible road back from the brink. On the same day, however, the road in the opposite direction was being constructed in London and Washington. The May 15 EIR Emergency Roundtable will examine the choice between these two roads, and the program required to take the right one.

The Beijing opening was itself made possible by the strategic failure of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which has not delivered the results its planners so confidently projected. Helga Zepp-LaRouche, on her weekly webcast on May 13, named the shift: “The fact that a middle-sized country could withstand the United States, the strongest military machine on the planet, for more than two months—that changes the chessboard strategically completely.” The American doctrine of recent decades—to prevent any country from “bypassing it economically, politically or militarily in terms of strength”—has been falsified in the real world. China watched. So did the Gulf states, which are now, in Zepp-LaRouche’s phrase, “scrambling,” because “the United States bases are not a protection, but a liability.”

The cost of the war that produced this shift, however, is staggering, and most of it is yet to be felt. The damage is the leading exhibit of where the wrong road leads. The World Food Program projects 45 million additional people pushed into acute hunger, taking the global total past 319 million—an all-time record. The total monetary cost of the war, counting destroyed productive capital and foregone output, is on the order of $4 trillion. The Pentagon’s April 29 figure of $25 billion is less than 1% of the true bill. Put another way, military spending can exact costs 100 times greater. Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz, an entirely predictable response, are reverberating through the global economy.

In the mid-1970s, the New York Council on Foreign Relations published 1980s Project which explicitly called for the “controlled disintegration” of the world economy as a means of preserving establishment political control. In November 1978, then-Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker declared in England that “a controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s” and worked to bring it about. The model exists.

And the same road continues to be built. In Britain, the London-based Council on Geostrategy this month published a report pitching a “sub-strategic” nuclear capability the U.K. has not had since the 1990s, including the tripling of purchases of the U.S.’s nuclear-capable F-35A, in order to add a new “rung” to the escalatory ladder against Russia. In Washington, Energy Secretary Chris Wright has testified that the United States has no technical need to resume explosive nuclear testing—but might do so “for other reasons” of a political nature. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this week that President Trump’s Golden Dome missile-defense program will cost $1.2 trillion over 20 years, and would be incapable of stopping a peer-adversary attack. Each is a deliberate investment, intellectual or financial, in continued strategic escalation, incompatible with a serious reading of the Trump-Xi framework.

Beijing offers a different premise: Real cooperation between the world’s two largest economies is incompatible with controlled disintegration. The Bessent-He Lifeng economic channel, the prospect of a Trade Commission, and the parallel multilateral track at the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi, and the New Development Bank’s Annual Meeting in Moscow are the architecture of a different road. They are the moves of states acknowledging, as Zepp-LaRouche has put it for four years, that “the present order is clearly disintegrating. So this is now the time for this conception”—a new security and development architecture that, in her words, “must take into account the interest of every single country, or it will not work.”

That conception is the central topic of the May 15 EIR Emergency Roundtable Dialogue, “The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy.” Speakers include Helga Zepp-LaRouche, an Iranian Ambassador, Princeton Professor Richard Falk, former President of Guyana Donald Ramotar, a Brazilian BRICS scholar, Nigerian investigative journalist David Hundeyin, a former Indian government official, and EIR Ibero-American Editor Dennis Small. The Roundtable will be held Friday, May 15 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, online via Zoom and live-streamed on YouTube, with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish, French, and German.

To put the event in perspective, Zepp-LaRouche told her webcast audience: “As long as you participate, you can bring in your ideas and not be somebody sitting on the sidelines, which is a bad idea in times like this.”

The Beijing summit has created an opportunity. EIR’s roundtable provides what is needed next. Tune in; bring others. The hour is late.
