Il Papa dice ai giovani spagnoli: «Voi potete cambiare la storia!»
di Dennis Small e Gretchen Small
Papa Leone XIV ha iniziato il 6 giugno un viaggio apostolico di sette giorni in Spagna, dove ha incontrato «una società europea profondamente polarizzata nella nazione spagnola», secondo le parole del direttore editoriale di Vatican News, Andrea Tornielli. «La Chiesa in Spagna, chiamata a testimoniare un’unità polifonica in questa epoca di polarizzazione e scontro, ha sopportato, insieme all’intero popolo iberico, la tragedia della guerra civile nel secolo scorso.
Alcune di quelle ferite non sono ancora completamente rimarginate», ha scritto Tornielli. Oltre alle guerre civili spagnole, nel secolo attuale la questione della migrazione disperata verso la Spagna (e l’Europa più in generale) da nazioni povere e devastate dalla guerra in Africa e nell’Asia sud-occidentale ha ulteriormente diviso una società – e una Chiesa cattolica – già polarizzata, con espressioni fin troppo frequenti di islamofobia.
Il Papa ha affrontato la questione di petto durante la sua visita in Spagna, affrontando le più profonde questioni filosofiche e teologiche sulla natura dell’uomo, del bene e del male, e dell’Uno e del Molteplice – questioni che affascinano e lasciano perplessa l’umanità da millenni – e lanciando al contempo un forte appello all’azione concreta oggi per salvare il mondo sofferente nell’interesse del bene comune.
Come ha affermato il Papa nella sua omelia durante la Santa Messa celebrata domenica 7 giugno davanti a quasi 1,5 milioni di persone riunite in Plaza de Cibeles a Madrid:
«Anche noi siamo chiamati a essere presenti nelle realtà e nelle sfide della società, senza tirarci indietro, ma impegnandoci personalmente nella costruzione del bene comune… Attingiamo di nuovo da questa sorgente eucaristica, che non ci chiude nella devozione privata, ma ci manda a rinfrancare i nostri fratelli e sorelle, le nostre famiglie, i poveri, i sofferenti e coloro che hanno perso la speranza. La grazia eucaristica ci trasforma e ci rende protagonisti della trasformazione della storia, segno di speranza per coloro che incontriamo».
Ha rivolto la sua attenzione a uno dei momenti salienti della cultura umanistica spagnola, l’epoca del re Alfonso X («il Saggio») nel XIII secolo, come modello da seguire oggi.
«La vostra stessa storia ne è testimone. La presenza dell’Islam nella Penisola Iberica, ad esempio, costituiva una realtà politica, culturale e religiosa di lunga data. In quel periodo non vi era solo scontro, ma anche un tentativo di creare uno spazio di contatto, conversazione e dialogo sul significato della verità tra cristiani, musulmani ed ebrei. Alla Scuola dei Traduttori fondata da Alfonso X (il Saggio), esperti di tutte e tre le religioni collaborarono alla traduzione dei testi del ricco patrimonio arabo, greco ed ebraico, contribuendo alla diffusione di testi come quelli dei filosofi Averroè (1126-1198) e Maimonide (1138-1204), tra gli altri. Le città di Cordova e Toledo, in particolare, divennero centri di dialogo tra lingue, religioni e conoscenza. Questa è la verità raccontata dalle città europee: la loro stratificazione storica, il tessuto di solidarietà che ha plasmato le loro differenze nel corso dei secoli, trasformando i conflitti inevitabili in nuovi inizi.”
Il Papa ha concluso il suo intervento con una nota chiaramente politica, elogiando il ruolo della Spagna nella condanna dei crimini a Gaza e della guerra in Iran, senza mai menzionare esplicitamente tali situazioni. «Esprimo la mia gratitudine al vostro Paese per la sua fedele adesione al diritto internazionale e al multilateralismo, che si riflette in un impegno attivo a favore della pace e della solidarietà tra i popoli.
Nel contempo, vi incoraggio a coltivare anche il dialogo e l’amicizia civica all’interno del vostro Paese, a tenere conto delle prospettive dei poveri e dei giov[...]

Il fattore Schiller Institute
Nel corso della visita del Papa, lo Schiller Institute in Spagna ha organizzato una manifestazione per le strade di Madrid portando uno striscione con la scritta “Sviluppo economico, dialogo tra civiltà – la via verso la pace”, distribuendo al contempo centinaia di volantini contenenti la lettera aperta del 9 marzo della fondatrice dello Schiller Institute, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, a Papa Leone XIV, “Zepp-LaRouche chiede a Papa Leone XIV di intervenire al livello di Niccolò Cusano”. Quel volantino riportava anche un codice QR che rimandava a un nuovo opuscolo di 32 pagine in lingua spagnola pubblicato dallo Schiller Institute in occasione della visita del Papa, “La spinta allo sviluppo significa miliardi di nuovi posti di lavoro, niente rifugiati, niente guerra”.
A Madrid si sono radunate folle immense in occasione della visita del Papa – circa 1,5 milioni di persone per la Messa di domenica 7 giugno in Plaza de Cibeles, nel centro della città, e 600.000 giovani per la veglia di preghiera di sabato 6 giugno – e l’entusiasmo e l’ottimismo erano palpabili, come hanno potuto confermare gli attivisti dello Schiller Institute. Ha parlato davanti a 12.000 rappresentanti del mondo della cultura, dell’arte, dell’economia e dello sport; e ha ricevuto una standing ovation senza precedenti di 7 minuti dopo aver parlato al Parlamento spagnolo lunedì 8 giugno, in cui ha lanciato un appello appassionato e molto controverso per il rispetto dei diritti dei migranti, il rinnovamento morale e la necessità della pace nel mondo. Il Papa esorta i giovani a guidare il mondo fuori dall’oscurità
Ma è stato il dialogo di Papa Leone con i 600.000 giovani che hanno partecipato a una Veglia di preghiera sabato sera, a rivelarsi alla lunga il suo intervento più significativo durante la visita in Spagna, dato il suo impatto sul futuro di quel Paese e di tutta l’Europa.
Prima che la veglia di preghiera, in sé, avesse inizio, Papa Leone ha risposto alle domande postegli da otto adolescenti più grandi e giovani in età universitaria, che hanno parlato a nome dei gruppi giovanili cattolici di cui facevano parte. Rispose con un misto di vigore e compassione, sviluppando i temi che ha sottolineato durante tutto il suo viaggio: essere cristiani significa prendersi cura dei poveri, lavorare per garantire la giustizia e allontanarsi dalle ideologie, che sono fugaci; significa diventare ricercatori della verità — e avere il coraggio di opporsi agli imperatori e ai poteri del momento per difendere quella verità.
Ha esortato le centinaia di migliaia di giovani presenti ad assumersi la responsabilità di cambiare il corso della storia, affidando loro «la missione di essere veramente umani», per diventare «le scintille di una nuova umanità». Si è rivolto a loro in termini molto personali:
«Riflettendo sulla vita di questi santi (San Giovanni Crisostomo, San Tommaso da Villanueva, San Toribio de Mogrovejo), mi sono detto, come fece Sant’Agostino: se loro ci sono riusciti, perché non io? (cfr. Confessioni, VIII, 27). È una domanda che sono lieto di condividere anche con voi, mentre vi invito a scegliere esempi di vita virtuosa che siano fonte di ispirazione sia per voi che per gli altri.”
Il Papa ha esortato i giovani a essere ricercatori della verità e a non lasciarsi influenzare dal rumore e dalla cacofonia che li circonda – sia in senso figurato che letterale.
«Quando cerchiamo di riconoscere la voce di Dio, il silenzio è ciò che più ci può aiutare. Credo sia molto importante per ciascuno di noi coltivare la capacità di stare in silenzio. Spesso indossiamo le cuffie, ascoltiamo musica o cerchiamo distrazioni, e non siamo capaci di stare in silenzio.

a Sua voce. Quando cerchiamo il silenzio, scegliamo cosa non ascoltare e quali rumori non lasciare che ci distraggano. Liberandoci dal clamore di mille voci diverse, riconosciamo che alcune sviano i nostri desideri, altre ci sfruttano senza provvedere a noi, e altre ancora parlano per interesse personale. È nel silenzio che arriviamo a capire che le ideologie passano, mentre la verità rimane sempre. Anche qui vorrei sottolineare l’importanza di cercare la verità, perché molte voci, molte cose sui social media ci ingannano e ci raccontano bugie. Cercate sempre la verità! Dio è verità!

Peruvian Journalist: EIR a ‘Must-read’ for Journalists Committed to Peace and Development
June 13, 2026 (EIRNS)—Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) is “a reliable and first-rate source of information” to which those dedicated to humanity’s supreme interests should turn, Rafael Romero, Peruvian journalist and former candidate for Peru’s Chamber of Deputies on the Public Works Civic Party slate, declared in a June 12 opinion column published by Lima Gris, an independent media dedicated to investigative journalism.
He should know; he has followed EIR’s work for more than four decades.
“When I joined a daily newspaper as a reporter back in 1986, assigned to the Government Palace, I identified a magazine—which arrived in Lima translated into Spanish in tabloid format—called Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) as a reliable and first-rate source of information.
“From its cover and headlines, it immediately hooked you, especially because of the substance and style of this weekly, founded in 1974. Its seriousness and its tone, which clashed with the corporate media establishment of that time—and even today—made it a must-read if you wanted to not only practice good journalism but also preserve civilization, peace, and human development,” Romero wrote.
“Four decades have passed, and thanks to information and communication technologies, EIR has long since entered social media and digital platforms… Thus, journalists can now rely on the reports and content of this weekly magazine, with its vigorous and in-depth perspectives and analyses, without which one cannot understand the comings and goings of the ‘hegemons’ and their satellites.”
Romero cited as an example EIR Ibero-American editor Dennis Small’s June 8, 2026 Weekly Report on the EIR español YouTube channel, titled “Putin, the Pope, and the Art of Good Strategic Marksmanship,” singling out Small’s reporting of Putin’s discussions of a new, modern financial architecture, and the messages which Pope Leo XIV brought to the people of Spain.
“These topics are just a small sample of how much can be learned and analyzed regarding the international concert of nations, if we have the right sources and news agencies, with EIR playing a key role,” Romero pointed out. He lamented that “the most well-known news outlets consulted by my fellow journalists are aligned with disinformation and the interests of specific groups, rather than standing on the side of humanity’s supreme interest.”
“While many magazines or agencies have disappeared, despite being on the side of global economic power, we must salute and congratulate EIR for continuing uninterrupted since 1974 with its analytical and informative work … demonstrating extraordinary journalistic work without which lies would long ago have taken hold over the eight billion inhabitants of planet Earth, for today—fortunately—there are still spaces that refuse to be manipulated, and that is why we celebrate their continued resistance, because to resist is to triumph,” he concluded.

L’UE e il governo tedesco inaspriscono lo scontro con la Russia
In risposta a un’interrogazione ufficiale del deputato del Bundestag Soeren Pellmann (Die Linke) sul sostegno tedesco all’utilizzo delle armi a lungo raggio da parte dell’Ucraina contro la Russia, il Ministero degli Esteri ha dichiarato che, in linea di principio, il governo ritiene gli attacchi ucraini all’entroterra russo giustificati dal “diritto all’autodifesa dell’Ucraina ai sensi dell’articolo 51 della Carta delle Nazioni Unite”.
Di conseguenza, l’Ucraina non sarebbe tenuta a limitare entro le proprie frontiere le operazioni militari contro la Russia. Ciò che il ministero non ha sottolineato è che la Russia ha il diritto di reagire, e i contrattacchi potrebbero essere diretti contro siti di produzione militare congiunti tedesco-ucraini, o contro bersagli situati direttamente in Germania (come la Rheinmetall) Come abbiamo riferito, i russi hanno ripetutamente avvertito che i siti di produzione militare congiunti, compresi quelli negli Stati membri europei della NATO, potrebbero diventare bersagli in caso di escalation.
I tentativi dei membri del governo tedesco e dei media mainstream di minimizzare la minaccia dei missili russi, rafforzando al contempo la cooperazione militare con il Regno Unito e la Francia contro Mosca, vengono seguiti da vicino al Cremlino. Lo stesso Vladimir Putin ha affermato ripetutamente che i principali politici in Europa e in Germania stanno alimentando la guerra con la Russia.
In un dialogo con i media internazionali il 4 giugno al Forum economico di San Pietroburgo, Putin ha sottolineato che i paesi dell’UE sono inaccettabili come mediatori del conflitto, poiché “sostengono direttamente gli sforzi del Paese con cui siamo in conflitto armato”. Non sono neutrali e “parlano da anni della necessità di infliggere una sconfitta strategica alla Russia”: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/79953.
Nel suo intervento al Forum, il Presidente russo ha osservato che l’Europa continua a “perdere posizioni nell’economia globale, minando al contempo la sicurezza regionale e globale. In realtà, le élite europee stanno incitando al caos e stanno cercando di coinvolgervi sempre più paesi” (http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/79956).
Ciononostante, Putin ha espresso la disponibilità a collaborare con l’Europa e la Germania, qualora queste cambiassero le loro politiche e mettessero fine alla loro ostilità. Ha ribadito, ad esempio, che le forniture di gas attraverso il gasdotto Nord Stream 2 potrebbero riprendere nel prossimo futuro – a condizione che il governo tedesco lo voglia – poiché uno dei 4 tubi è rimasto intatto. Se Berlino raggiungesse un accordo per revocare le sanzioni, ha detto, “premeremmo il pulsante e il gas scorrerebbe, già da domani”. Potrebbero essere forniti fino a 28 miliardi di metri cubi di gas russo all’anno.
Ha quindi posto una chiara alternativa ai leader tedeschi: lo scontro diretto con la Russia e i missili, oppure la cooperazione con la ripresa del flusso di gas russo.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche (foto) ha osservato che, dato il crollo accelerato dell’economia germanica, è semplicemente criminale che il governo tedesco respinga l’offerta di Vladimir Putin e spinga al contempo il regime di Zelensky a intensificare i propri attacchi.

No Merger with Israeli Mossad or British MI6! June 14, 2026—Did you know that the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027 (with an absurd budget of $1.15 trillion with another $350 billion to be added in separate legislation) calls for merging U.S. military…
The Schiller Institute
What Kind of Peace Do We Seek?
June 12—The International Peace Coalition (IPC) held its 158th consecutive weekly meeting on June 12 titled, “What Kind of Peace Do We Seek?” Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the IPC and the Schiller Institute, began the event by challenging the participants with the idea that our actions today will decide whether the world will move in a good or bad direction. She said that U.S. President Donald Trump has now announced the 38th or 39th peace deal with Iran that is “just around the corner,” but the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter has triggered new fighting. Zepp-LaRouche said that Trumpʼs idea that the United States will take total control of Iranʼs oil and gas is “ludicrous.” Self-described “U.S Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth, has warned that the United States will “negotiate with bombs,” but Iran remains in a dominant position in the region.
In Europe, Zepp-LaRouche warned, many leaders are promoting a military buildup, but U.S. Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich, the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has said that Russia is not looking for a conflict. Other military leaders have warned that Europe is “sleepwalking into war,” as the EU tries to expand from 27 member nations to 40. Zepp-LaRouche warned that the German military is highly visible with recruitment drives and events such as air shows. Magnifica Humanitas vs. the Tower of Babel
In opposition to the warmongers, said Zepp-LaRouche, Pope Leo XIV is an important voice for peace, equal to Chinaʼs President Xi Jinping. The Pope recently visited Spain, speaking to the Parliament in Madrid, addressing 600,000 youth, and, while in the Canary Islands, calling for a Christian response to the migrant crisis. On May 15, Pope Leo issued his encyclical entitled “Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence,” which Zepp-LaRouche urged everyone to read. While the Pope never mentions any names in this document, today’s flawed leaders are easily identified. The Pope criticizes those billionaires whose only concern is becoming trillionaires, and those who wish to build their “Tower of Babel.” He rejects class struggle and promotes the Chinese concept of “Li,” the idea of harmony in the world. The encyclical advocates for a classical idea of truth and beauty, and states that the new name for peace is development.
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Pope will be awarded the 38th annual Liberty Medal by the Philadelphia-based National Constitution Center on July 3. He will deliver his acceptance speech from the Vatican via video, challenging Americans to look deeper into the true history and mission of the nation. Zepp-LaRouche contrasted this to the Ultimate Fighting Championship “UFC Freedom 250” cage-fighting event on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday, June 14—Trump’s 80th birthday—a complete disgrace, contrary to every principle represented by the Declaration of Independence. This will all be addressed at the July 5 event in Philadelphia sponsored by Diane Sareʼs independent campaign for the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
Zepp-LaRouche confronted the false narrative imposed by the British, that the United States was created by “one atrocity after another.” The United States was created, she asserted, to end the rule by “blue bloods and monarchies.” She continued, the United States was established for the “common good,” where “all men are created equal,” with a commitment to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” However, this happiness is not banal, but the promotion of a fulfilling life. Benjamin Franklin worked with collaborators internationally to make the revolution a success.

June 12—The International Peace Coalition (IPC) held its 158th consecutive weekly meeting on June 12 titled, “What Kind of Peace Do We Seek?” Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the IPC and the Schiller Institute, began the event by challenging the participants with the idea that our actions today will decide whether the world will move in a good or bad direction. She said that U.S. President Donald Trump has now announced the 38th or 39th peace deal with Iran that is “just around the corner,” but the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter has triggered new fighting. Zepp-LaRouche said that Trumpʼs idea that the United States will take total control of Iranʼs oil and gas is “ludicrous.” Self-described “U.S Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth, has warned that the United States will “negotiate with bombs,” but Iran remains in a dominant position in the region.
In Europe, Zepp-LaRouche warned, many leaders are promoting a military buildup, but U.S. Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich, the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has said that Russia is not looking for a conflict. Other military leaders have warned that Europe is “sleepwalking into war,” as the EU tries to expand from 27 member nations to 40. Zepp-LaRouche warned that the German military is highly visible with recruitment drives and events such as air shows. Magnifica Humanitas vs. the Tower of Babel
In opposition to the warmongers, said Zepp-LaRouche, Pope Leo XIV is an important voice for peace, equal to Chinaʼs President Xi Jinping. The Pope recently visited Spain, speaking to the Parliament in Madrid, addressing 600,000 youth, and, while in the Canary Islands, calling for a Christian response to the migrant crisis. On May 15, Pope Leo issued his encyclical entitled “Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence,” which Zepp-LaRouche urged everyone to read. While the Pope never mentions any names in this document, today’s flawed leaders are easily identified. The Pope criticizes those billionaires whose only concern is becoming trillionaires, and those who wish to build their “Tower of Babel.” He rejects class struggle and promotes the Chinese concept of “Li,” the idea of harmony in the world. The encyclical advocates for a classical idea of truth and beauty, and states that the new name for peace is development.
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the Pope will be awarded the 38th annual Liberty Medal by the Philadelphia-based National Constitution Center on July 3. He will deliver his acceptance speech from the Vatican via video, challenging Americans to look deeper into the true history and mission of the nation. Zepp-LaRouche contrasted this to the Ultimate Fighting Championship “UFC Freedom 250” cage-fighting event on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday, June 14—Trump’s 80th birthday—a complete disgrace, contrary to every principle represented by the Declaration of Independence. This will all be addressed at the July 5 event in Philadelphia sponsored by Diane Sareʼs independent campaign for the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
Zepp-LaRouche confronted the false narrative imposed by the British, that the United States was created by “one atrocity after another.” The United States was created, she asserted, to end the rule by “blue bloods and monarchies.” She continued, the United States was established for the “common good,” where “all men are created equal,” with a commitment to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” However, this happiness is not banal, but the promotion of a fulfilling life. Benjamin Franklin worked with collaborators internationally to make the revolution a success. The British continued afterwards to undermine the new nation, later by promoting the U.S. Civil War on the side of the Confederacy, subverting[...]

the nation at every turn, with the mess that we now see. Zepp-LaRouche said that we need to bring back the true American revolutionary tradition.
The next speaker, Col. (ret.) Alain Corvez from France, said that the United States and Israel are acting like outlaw nations trying to impose their will on the world. He said that much of the world is opposed to this “supremacist” outlook. Iran is actively resisting this domination and is supported by many nations, including powerful nations such as China and Russia. President Trump, with his domestic support in “free fall” and difficulties in the U.S. midterm elections, finds himself being blocked on several fronts. Corvez said that the United States must realize that it is not the policeman of the world. He further warned that Israel may try to sabotage any peace arrangements.
Col. Corvez added that European leaders should agree to accept Russian resources and seek peace. Russia is a very big nation and does not need new territory. European leaders such as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and French President Emmanuel Macron have failed and are disconnected from their populations. The European Union works against the interests of Europe and has lost most of its support. Because of their failures, these leaders need a confrontation with Russia as the only way to stay in power. Corvez said that Russia could easily deliver crushing blows to Ukraine, but has restrained itself. On the Ground Report from Spain
Next, Spanish Schiller Institute activist María Josefa Rodríguez Hernández gave a report on her activities during the Pope’s visit to Spain. She said that her small but dynamic group held a Schiller Institute banner calling for the dialogue of civilizations and distributed an open letter to Pope Leo XIV by Helga Zepp-LaRouche. During the visit, the Pope reminded Spain of its leadership in uniting diverse populations using its School of Translators in Toledo under Alphonso the Wise in the late 1200s. Speaking to 600,000 Spanish youths, the Pope called on them to spark a new humanity and to do it with love. With its uncompromising stand on issues such as genocide in Gaza, Spain has challenged the legal order of the world. Speaking to both the Global North and Global South, the Pope said that we must invest in “our common home,” with education, research, and civil society. He spoke of the importance of Africa and our responsibility to eliminate poverty. Zepp-LaRouche responded to this report from Spain saying that the Pope’s intervention on the world is of the utmost importance and essential to peace. Corvez agreed, adding that we must consider the needs and concerns of others.
Father Harry J. Bury, an international peace activist, retired Catholic priest, and the founder of Twin Cities Nonviolent, said that world events made him heartbroken but hopeful. He said that the Pope’s encyclical reminded him of the importance of each individual person and the need to honor each person’s contribution to society. In order to attempt to justify violence, some people are identified as evil. But, he said, there are no evil people in the world, just people who need education. History shows us that violence does not lead to peace, and dropping bombs does not change people for the better. Father Bury blessed the Pope and Lyndon and Helga LaRouche.
A short video was shown by Ray McGovern—the former CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)—who also spoke of the importance of the latest encyclical by the Pope and its call for forgiveness. McGovern praised the 1963 encyclical by Pope John XXIII, “Pacem in Terris,” which was used by President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to foster peace. Kennedy used this encyclical to shape his June 10, 1963 “A Strategy of Peace” speech at American University, and Khrushchev later published Kennedyʼs speech in Pravda and Izvestia, two leading Soviet papers. McGovern said that t[...]

he Pope had written that encyclical during that dangerous period of 1963, and that we are again in increasingly dangerous times. Who Is Not Equal?
Diane Sare, the independent LaRouche candidate for U.S. President, thanked Helga Zepp-LaRouche for her earlier comments identifying the true history and role of the United States in the world. Sare rejected the false idea that the United States was created in order to give power to rich, White slaveholders. She argued that the founders clearly stated that “all men are created equal.” If this is not true, she asked, who is not equal?
Sare said that the recent elections showed that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is losing its control over U.S. elections. While AIPAC succeeded in defeating Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY), it was unable to stop many others, such as Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA), or the Egyptian-American doctor running for Congress in the Trenton area of New Jersey, Dr. Adam Hamawy.
Americans, Sare said, especially young Americans, have had enough, and reject the recent drive in Congress to merge U.S. and Israeli intelligence—with former CIA head Mike Pompeo applauding the CIA’s strong partnership with the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. She read deeply moving quotes from George Washingtonʼs 1796 Farewell Address, which called on Americans to “cultivate peace and harmony with all.” Washington further argued that a nation cannot be happy if it is not virtuous. Sare also read from Lyndon LaRoucheʼs 1998 article, “When Franklin Roosevelt Was Interrupted,” which asserts that the only legitimate role of the state is to enhance the individual. Later, Zepp-LaRouche added that the world has many forms of governments—but the question is whether a government improves the character of the individual; if it does, then it is a good government.
Dennis Small, Ibero-American editor for EIR magazine, asked a profound question about the nature of man, referring to Zepp-LaRoucheʼs 2022 Ten Principles, which states, “… that man is fundamentally good and capable to infinitely perfect the creativity of his mind and the beauty of his soul.” Pope Leo, during his visit to Spain, said, “The desire for goodness, beauty, and truth is rooted in the very DNA of humanity…. These are profound ideas that cannot be ignored.” Zepp-LaRouche answered by saying that Pope Leo has an affinity to Nicholas of Cusa, who said that all evil is a lack of development. Cusa, a 15th Century Cardinal, philosopher and scientist, criticized the static, Manichean idea that evil has a constant presence and that there is a permanent struggle between good and evil. Zepp-LaRouche later added that in the latest encyclical, the Pope does not mention any names, but puts his finger on every single structure of sin. This all points to the Epstein class, and gives us the ability to judge current history. She added that this encyclical is the moral corrective that the world needs and a tool not just for understanding the past, but also for acting in the present.

Conferenza dello Schiller Institute a Berlino su una nuova architettura internazionale di sicurezza e sviluppo
Lo Schiller Institute ha organizzato una conferenza internazionale a Berlino il 30 e 31 maggio, alla quale hanno partecipato relatori provenienti da quindici nazioni, con esperienza e competenze in materia di relazioni internazionali, economia, scienza e arte. Oltre alle quattro tavole rotonde, sabato si è tenuta una serata culturale con contributi musicali e poetici provenienti da diverse culture e nazioni.
La prima sessione è stata aperta da Helga Zepp-LaRouche, presidente dello Schiller Institute e caporedattrice di EIR. Il tema del suo intervento, “Non lasceremo che la civiltà europea vada in rovina!”, ha dato il tono che si è poi ritrovato nei successivi interventi degli altri relatori nel corso dei due giorni. Tutti hanno espresso apprezzamento per il ruolo unico dello Schiller Institute (SI) nel fornire un forum di questo tipo per discutere le soluzioni necessarie. Lo SI è stato particolarmente onorato dalla presenza dell’ambasciatore dell’Iran, Majid Nili Ahmadabadi, e dell’ambasciatore dell’Etiopia, Eskindir Yirga Asfaw, che sono entrambi intervenuti nella sessione di domenica mattina. Dal momento che la conferenza si svolgeva nella capitale tedesca, un buon numero di partecipanti stranieri ha espresso incredulità e rammarico per il modo in cui i vari governi tedeschi hanno permesso all’economia e alle competenze tecniche del Paese di crollare a un ritmo così rapido.
Dopo l’apertura di Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Zhang Weiwei (foto) dalla Cina, direttore dell’Istituto cinese presso l’Università di Fudan e commentatore di spicco a livello nazionale, ha approfondito il principio secondo cui l’inclusione di tutte le nazioni è un prerequisito per un futuro condiviso per il mondo. Sotto il tema “Costruire un ordine mondiale multipolare vantaggioso”, ha discusso il concetto di “win-win” in termini di miglioramento della governance mondiale, utilizzando esempi specifici della collaborazione della Cina con i paesi dell’ASEAN. In linea con l’approccio dialogico della conferenza, ha sottolineato che per avere “un’era di trasformazione, sono necessarie idee di trasformazione”.
Pino Arlacchi, ex europarlamentare ed ex vicesegretario generale dell’ONU, ha presentato la sua proposta di riforma delle Nazioni Unite, che riflette la realtà e gli interessi della Maggioranza Globale.
Egli stesso si è candidato alla successione di Antonio Guterres come Segretario Generale delle Nazioni Unite per portare avanti le riforme necessarie.
Chas Freeman, statunitense, ex ambasciatore degli Stati Uniti in Arabia Saudita, in videoconferenza, ha avuto parole dure per il proprio Paese, sotto il titolo generale “La nascita, la morte e la possibile rinascita dell’ordine mondiale”. Senza usare mezzi termini, ha affermato che quando le cose non vanno bene, le nazioni diventano “mostri”, e ha proceduto ad analizzare gli Stati Uniti da quel punto di vista.
Sanjay Tripathi dall’India, ex alto funzionario dei ministeri indiani, ha affrontato a sua volta i punti chiave delle relazioni estere in questo momento di “convergenza senza precedenti di crisi sovrapposte e ad alta intensità”.
Wolfgang Bittner dalla Germania, studioso e autore, ha esplicitamente appoggiato l’appello di Zepp-LaRouche per “una nuova architettura di sicurezza” e ha discusso approfonditamente molti aspetti della situazione della Germania, sotto il tema “Sovranità, neutralità e cultura”, rammaricandosi del fatto che il suo Paese non sia sovrano in questo momento.
Tutti i video della conferenza sono ora disponibili sul canale YouTube dello Schiller Institute o sul sito web. Inoltre, sono stati realizzati due brevi video di 30 minuti con i momenti salienti, incentrati su due temi: “Il pericolo strategico della guerra e del caos” (youtube.com/watch?v=4c7INn0mQrI, youtube.com/live/OnK0sx2egRY) e “La fine di 500 anni di colonialismo”.

Stati Uniti e Iran annunciano la fine della guerra, ma su quali basi si fonda la pace?
Il mondo ha accolto con favore la notizia dell’accordo raggiunto tra gli Stati Uniti e la Repubblica Islamica dell’Iran, annunciato da Donald Trump il 14 giugno. L’accordo è stato confermato dal primo ministro pakistano Shehbaz Sharif e dalla stessa leadership iraniana e una cerimonia ufficiale di firma è prevista per venerdì 19 giugno in Svizzera. Secondo quanto riferito, Trump avrebbe firmato digitalmente il protocollo d’intesa domenica sera prima di partire per partecipare al vertice del G7 in Francia.
I dettagli del memorandum d’intesa non sono stati resi noti e le indiscrezioni sul suo contenuto variano notevolmente, ma sembra in ogni caso trattarsi di una concessione importante da parte di Washington, dopo che Trump ha subìto una delle sconfitte più imbarazzanti degli ultimi tempi. Il 15 giugno, il portavoce del ministero degli Esteri iraniano Esmaeil Baghaei ha dichiarato che la firma dell’accordo rappresenta una “svolta molto significativa” per l’Iran. L’unica voce dissenziente è venuta da Israele. Netanyahu ha eseguito nuovamente un bombardamento su Beirut proprio quel 14 giugno, e sia lui che il ministro della Difesa hanno giurato che Israele rimarrà nel sud del Libano a tutti i costi.
L’ “accordo” con l’Iran e il suo impatto sull’economia mondiale è stato uno dei temi principali del vertice del G7 a Evian, in Francia, il 15-16 giugno. L’E4 (Francia, Germania, Italia, Regno Unito) aveva accolto ufficialmente con favore l’accordo, e il presidente Trump ha tenuto incontri separati a margine con i leader di tre delle nazioni direttamente coinvolte nella risoluzione del conflitto: Egitto, Qatar ed Emirati Arabi Uniti.
I leader europei che, come al solito, hanno portato con sé il presidente ucraino Zelensky, sperano di convincere Trump a dedicare più tempo e impegno ad aiutare l’Ucraina a sconfiggere la Russia, ora che le ostilità con l’Iran si sono placate. Ma alla vigilia del vertice di Evian il generale Alexus Grynkewich, Comandante Supremo Alleato della NATO in Europa, ha dichiarato pubblicamente che “la Russia non sta cercando un conflitto” in Europa, un’affermazione notevole, che contraddice direttamente la propaganda che i leader politici europei diffondono per giustificare il riarmo. Inoltre, in uno dei suoi primi commenti sul protocollo d’intesa in procinto di essere firmato con l’Iran, Trump ha elogiato “i presidenti Xi Jinping della Cina e Vladimir V. Putin della Russia per aver contribuito alla soluzione”.
Mentre è ancora da vedere se il nuovo accordo verrà rispettato, rimane l’interrogativo: questo momento di tregua può trasformarsi in un punto di svolta, in cui si affermi un orientamento completamente nuovo e la pace diventi stabile?
Il 15 giugno, Helga Zepp-LaRouche ha affrontato questo tema in una discussione con i collaboratori, in cui ha chiesto di potenziare la mobilitazione per il Piano Oasi per l’Asia sud-occidentale (foto). “Questo è il momento di mettere sul tavolo la prospettiva dello sviluppo economico per cambiare la dinamica in modo permanente”, ha affermato, sottolineando l’importanza della proposta dell’ex primo ministro turco Ahmet Davutoglu per una nuova architettura di sicurezza per la regione, combinata con la proposta di sviluppo economico dello Schiller Institute per consolidarla.
Similmente Mohamed Hegazy, ex viceministro degli Esteri egiziano, ha proposto un “quadro di sicurezza collettiva e cooperazione” per l’intero mondo arabo e l’Asia sud-occidentale, sottolineando la necessità che esso comprenda “il cibo, l’acqua, l’energia, le catene di approvvigionamento e la stabilità economica” per essere sostenibile.

The world welcomed the news of an agreement reached between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran over the weekend. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” President Donald Trump said June 14. This was confirmed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well as the Iranians themselves, and a formal signing ceremony is planned to take place in Switzerland this Friday, June 19. Trump reportedly digitally signed the MOU Sunday night before he left to attend the G7 summit in France.
Can this peace become a stable peace? Can this moment of reprieve be transformed into an inflection point where a wholly new orientation takes hold?
The emphatic point to be made is: Yes, if we act to make it happen. Don’t wait around analyzing what Donald Trump will do next, or place your bets in Polymarket as to how long the agreement will last. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed this in a discussion with associates June 15, where she called for upgrading the mobilization for the Extended Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia. “This is the moment to put in the economic development perspective on the table, to change the dynamic on a permanent basis,” she said. She emphasized the importance of former Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal for a new security architecture for the region, combined with the Schiller Institute’s proposal of economic development to solidify it.

Urgent Appeal from Pope Leo XIV: ‘Stop! Repent! Before It’s Too Late!’ The New Name for Peace Is Development!
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche June 17th 2026
Of all the important and urgent speeches delivered recently by politicians and experts from many countries with the aim of preventing the strategic situation from escalating into a catastrophe that would wipe out the human race, Pope Leo XIV’s intervention—with his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas (1) and the addresses he delivered during his recent trip to Spain (2)—is, in my best judgment, by far the most important. When historians later examine the question of what—hopefully—proved to be the decisive factor in bringing Western civilization, in the midst of a deep spiritual and cultural crisis, to change course, they will come upon the role played by the Pope, and the willingness of a sufficiently large number of believers and people of good will to take his words to heart and bring about a change in policy.
Without ever having to name the guilty parties, Pope Leo XIV defines with absolute clarity the structures of sin that today pose existential threats to humanity—structures whose concrete relevance everyone can recognize, and which must be urgently eliminated. At the same time, he indicates the way out of the crisis, which is within reach—namely, that people summon up the highest ideal of the Christian view of humanity, and put it into practice. Precisely because the mainstream media largely suppress these texts by the Pope, Christians and peace-loving people need to create a political climate in which no politician seeking re-election can afford to admit his or her ignorance of his writings and speeches. For that of course, as many people as possible must first not only read, but also study, this encyclical and these addresses.
At the very moment when the first multi-billionaire on the basis of an AI fiction declares himself the first trillionaire, this encyclical warns against a new Tower of Babel, in which a new form of idolatry pays homage to profit at the expense of the weak, a dehumanization that uses others as means, an age-old yet ever-renewed temptation that today comes cloaked in technology. And coinciding with the entry into force of the EU Migration Pact—which, as of June 12, will accelerate procedures for deporting refugees at the EU’s external borders and thus massively restrict the right to asylum—Pope Leo XIV counters with the Christian principles as to how the migration issue should be addressed.
When one considers the encyclical and the Popeʼs speeches in Spain together, they represent a complete reckoning with the entire political agenda of the liberal West, and do so with a clarity that should compel all politicians who have sworn an oath of office to serve the common good (above all, those whose parties bear the word “Christian” in their names) to completely reverse their policies.
Among the various aspects of these policies, all of which are building blocks of the new Tower of Babel, are the idolatry of profit at the expense of the poorest, the financial interests that fuel tensions and conflicts to keep the war industry up and running, and support for modern forms of slavery, where child labor is routine and the health of adolescents is sacrificed for the profit of an upper class whose consumption habits would once have been considered extravagant, while the poor lack the basic necessities. This also includes a new form of colonialism that enslaves not only people’s bodies, but also data and information about them—ranging from health records to epidemiological profiles, genetic charts, and demographic data.
In the encyclical, the Pope laments the “normalization of war” and recalls Pope Paul VI’s powerful 1965 address to the UN General Assembly: “Never again war! Never again[...]

The Schiller Institute Urgent Appeal from Pope Leo XIV: ‘Stop! Repent! Before It’s Too Late!’ The New Name for Peace Is Development! by Helga Zepp-LaRouche June 17th 2026 Of all the important and urgent speeches delivered recently by politicians and experts…
war!” (3) Despite a deep desire for peace, Leo writes, the intervening 60 years have been marked by conflicts of astonishing brutality, claiming the lives of countless civilian and innocent victims, mass displacements, social destabilization, and long-lasting wounds. Today, he notes, we are witnessing an alarming paradigm shift in which rearmament and war are once again publicly promoted as instruments of international politics, while the ethical principles that would previously have opposed war are being systematically undermined. Desires for territorial expansion, which we thought had been overcome, are returning, and a disconcerting loss of historical memory is becoming apparent, as eyewitnesses to the Holocaust and World War II pass away. (No, this is not Russian President Vladimir Putin speaking, or Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, but Pope Leo XIV) And so, the Pope argues, war is being prepared for culturally through simplistic narratives and a “friend-or-foe” mindset, disinformation, and the instillation of fear.
Under the heading “Force without limits,” the Pope addresses the growth of the military-industrial complex: “The armaments industry, and countries that supply weapons, profit from a market that thrives precisely on conflicts. In this sense, there are also financial interests that contribute to fueling tensions in various regions of the world.” And further in section 194: “ In the past, recognition of the threat posed by weapons capable of destroying all of humanity had promoted paths toward détente and disarmament negotiations. Unfortunately, this approach has been left behind, and the evolution of nuclear arsenals—including the prospect of its “tactical” use—makes the use of such weapons seem less improbable.”
The encyclical observes that we live in a time of significant intellectual and cultural blindness, and that a form of historical nihilism fosters the illusion “that the atrocities of the 20th century cannot be repeated, that the atrocities of the twentieth century can never happen again. Yet, in reality, the same dynamics are re-emerging under new guises…. In many countries, including those in the Global South, increased military spending is presented as the only response to an uncertain future or perceived threats. Meanwhile, the real cost falls on the poorest, who see resources for healthcare, education and social services being reduced.”
Pope Leo quotes Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, which condemns the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few, and he refers to Pope Paul VI warning of the dangers of extraordinary scientific, technological, and economic progress if it is not does not go together with corresponding ethical and social progress.
This applies in particular to AI, whose assessment and critique is the main focus of the encyclical. Starting from the decades-long debate over whether computers might one day surpass human creativity, he explains the renewed discussion regarding AI:
“99. It is not possible to provide a single, comprehensive definition of AI. “What can be stated, however, is that we must avoid the misconception of equating this type of ‘intelligence’ with that of human beings. These systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence. In doing so, they often surpass human intelligence in speed and computational capacity, offering tangible benefits across many fields. Yet this power remains entirely tied to data processing. So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate language, behavior and analytical skills, or even simulate empathy and understanding, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affect[...]

ive, relational and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. Even when these tools are described as capable of ‘learning’, their way of doing so is different from that of a human person. It is not the experience of those who allow themselves to be shaped by life and grow over time through choices, mistakes, forgiveness and fidelity. Rather, it is a form of statistical adaptation based on data and feedback, which can be very effective, but does not imply inner growth.”
Pope Leo XIV argues from the perspective of the Augustinian tradition, according to which there need be no contradiction between faith and knowledge, and quotes Pope Francis, who “recognizes the importance of listening to scientific research and of encouraging a serious and honest debate among experts while welcoming a diversity of opinions.”
The Right To Not Have To Migrate
Less honest, however, according to the Italian newspaper La Veritá and the French Le Figaro, were the liberal media, which reportedly provided a rather incomplete account of the Pope’s speeches in Spain by only covering his calls to accept and integrate refugees, while omitting the parts where the Pope defended people’s right not to have to emigrate and emphasized the need to address the root causes of their fleeing.
In fact, Pope Leo XIV’s six-day trip to Spain, which took him to Madrid, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife, was an intervention of extraordinary historical significance. For even today, 87 years after the end of the Civil War, the political debate in Spain remains extremely polarized, and issues such as the role of the Church and migration are emotionally charged. In this context, the way in which Pope Leo elevated the migration issue to such a high level was very important in respect to Spain’s internal situation and also set a precedent for all of Europe. There could hardly be a greater contrast between the EU Migration Pact—which came into force on the very last day of the Pope’s trip—and the migration policy advocated by Pope Leo XIV. While the EU wants to get rid of people as quickly as possible and lock them up in so-called “reception camps”—which Pope Francis used to describe as “concentration camps” and which certainly resemble prisons—the Pope has a completely different, humane perspective on the problem. In his address to the Spanish Parliament, he emphasized:
“The affirmation of human dignity cannot remain abstract when so many people are forced to leave everything behind in search of peace, security, and a future. The tragic drama of migration also challenges the conscience of nations and the ethical foundation of the international order today. Numerous men, women, and children are forced, by often dramatic circumstances, to leave their communities and leave behind loved ones, histories, and ties. This reality goes beyond any purely demographic or economic analysis: it constitutes an eminently moral and legal issue. Wherever people are discriminated against because of their national, ethnic, religious or linguistic origin, or because of their economic or social status, the universal principle of the equal dignity of all human beings is seriously violated.” (4)
He then went on to quote from his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas:
“81. A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters. The way a society treats them reveals whether its sense of justice is driven by fear or by the spirit of fraternity. Pope Francis urged us to see migrants not simply as a problem to be managed, but as a living image of the People of God on the move. [109] They are people with dignity, resources and dreams, who have the right to be treated with respect and to ask to become active members of the societies that welcome them. Social justice in this area entails at least two complementary commitments. On the one hand, this means protecting the rightful hopes of those forc[...]

ed to leave by ensuring safe and legal routes, dignified conditions for receiving them, and genuine pathways to integration. On the other hand, it means promoting the right to remain in one’s homeland in peace and security by addressing the root causes that force people to migrate, including those linked to economic injustices and the climate crisis. When these rights are respected, migration can become an opportunity for encounter and mutual enrichment among peoples.”
A Call to Action
Western governments are hereby called upon to take Pope Leo XIV’s urgent appeal as an opportunity to immediately undo the inhumane and, from an economic standpoint utterly incompetent, migration policy as formulated in the EU Migration Pact. Instead, cooperation on an equal footing with the nations of the Global South must be placed on the agenda, with a serious commitment to eliminating the root causes of migration.
The right “to remain in one’s own homeland in peace and security by addressing the root causes that force people to migrate” is relatively easy to implement if the political will is mustered to do so. What the nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America need is a genuine industrial and agricultural development policy aimed at realizing their full potential for the benefit of their own populations. The Global South, which in reality represents the global majority of approximately 85 percent of humanity, is in the process of leaving behind 500 years of colonialism and implementing, above all in cooperation with China, infrastructure projects and investments in key technologies that will enable these nations to fully establish value chains within their own borders. Instead of clinging to an inhuman neo-colonialist mindset, the governments of Europe and the United States are called upon to immediately commit to international cooperation aimed at completely eradicating poverty and underdevelopment in all nations on this planet.
For example, by the year 2050, Africa will have a population of approximately 2.5 billion people—one billion more than today. This means that it is in the very best interest of both Africa and Europe to create one billion productive jobs on the African continent over the next 25 years. Even though most other regions of the world face negative demographic projections, effective programs to overcome poverty are necessary everywhere if social explosions between the billionaire class and the impoverished billions are to be prevented.
The Schiller Institute has worked out concrete development programs to this end as to how clearly defined investment programs in basic infrastructure, energy production and distribution, and communications can create the conditions necessary to industrialize the nations of the Global South, and how cooperation between the BRICS countries, the industrialized nations of the North, and developing countries with joint ventures can achieve the goal of addressing the root causes of migration. (5) (6)
This would fulfill the call of the encyclical Populorum Progressio, that true peace can only be achieved through social justice and the overcoming of global inequality, “whose injustice cries out to heaven.” This call by Pope Paul VI, in his encyclical—”Development is the new name for peace”—is the urgent imperative of the hour!
In his address to the Spanish Parliament, Pope Leo XIV called for precisely this form of international cooperation:
“No nation can face a challenge of this magnitude on its own. Therefore, a coordinated, supportive, and effective response is indispensable, one capable of guaranteeing protection, welcome, and real opportunities for integration to those who migrate. When the institutional response is accessible, just and coordinated, borders cease to be places of abandonment and can become spaces for the responsible protection of human dignity.” (4)
In his encyclical, which bears the title Magnifica Humanitas—”Magnificent Humanity”—a title that can certainly be regarded as programmatic[...]
