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.
