Lydon LaRouche founded Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), which is still a useful source of reference due to its addressing third rail topics, such as the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism.

Schiller Institute

The Schiller Institute is a German based political and economic think tank founded by his wife Helga Zepp-LaRouche, with members in 50 countries. The International Schiller Institute is a collaboration between sister organisations registered in five countries, Schiller Institute Inc. (USA), Schiller-Institut e.V (Germany), L’Institut Schiller (France), Schiller Institutte (Denmark), and Schiller Institutet (Sweden). It is among the principal organisations of the LaRouche movement. The institute's stated aim is to apply the ideas of the poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller to what it calls the "contemporary world crisis." Their constitution (adopted in 1984), is defined in opposition to international financial institutions and other supranational bodies for causing a state of tyranny in the world, especially amongst developing nations.

Open Letter to Pope Francis

On 20 December 2022, the Schiller Institute addressed an open letter to Pope Francis:

Your Holiness,

Greetings from the grouping of Political and Social Leaders of the World to Stop the Danger of Nuclear War, initiated by the Schiller Institute in Germany.

We have met on three occasions to discuss the impending danger of nuclear war and global Armageddon resulting from the war between Ukraine and Russia, with a view to taking whatever action necessary to stop the war and to bring peace. On 17 November 2022, our group issued a Declaration to Stop the Threat of Nuclear War, signed by legislators and former legislators from Latin America, the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa.

In that declaration, we highlighted Your Holiness’s call for a negotiated, peaceful solution. We further welcome Your Holiness’s offer of the Vatican as a possible neutral ground for peace talks – without any preconditions – between Russia and Ukraine. Our group wishes to support this initiative in any way we can, including gathering together all who wish for peace and the prevention of nuclear war.

We note that others in Europe and the United States have also offered venues for the Russian and Ukrainian leadership to negotiate peace. We believe it is urgent to unify all such efforts into a globe-spanning movement to bring resolution to this conflict, taking into consideration the valid security interests of all parties.

In that spirit, we hereby sign this letter to indicate that support, and call on other political and social leaders around the world, regardless of differences in ideology or religious faith, to add their signatures as well.

We intend to convene a Fourth Seminar of Political and Social Leaders of the World to Stop the Danger of Nuclear War in early 2023 to further this push for peace and to stop the danger of nuclear war, and we extend an invitation to a representative from the Vatican to attend.

Trump–Putin phone call

What Really Happened on the Trump-Putin Phone Call

On 19 March 2025, the Schiller Institute's Harley Schlanger explained what really happened on the previous day's phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin:

"Spin, spin, spin, the narrative producers of the western establishment want to control what you think by working overtime to block out the significance of the conversation which took place yesterday between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump.

"And while the spin meisters are at work the members of the pro-war western establishment is desperately trying to put together a plan for more money for Ukraine boots on the ground. In Ukraine, they're trying to lock in a commitment from Europe to a long war to weaken Russia and to break up the potential for an alternative security and development architecture from emerging.

"It's too late for that. it's already emerged and now with Putin and Trump talking and a move toward normalisation of relations going at a very fast pace the European leaders are left floundering, waving their arms, making incoherent statements about the need to defend democracy. Even as they anull elections in Romania, overcome the will of the voters in Germany by ramming through a constitutional change to vote more money for war, you know it's a situation where you can see the palpable desperation in the language they're using and in the waving of arms and flapping of jaws.

"But the reality is the world is changing rapidly and it's important that you have an access to the actual story as opposed to the spin: spin that's coming through the media. So keep in mind that the goal of of the European leaders, and many in the United States still, is to block the potential for this new security architecture to continue the war. And this is the Biden/Blinken War so keep that in mind.

"So the second conversation took place yesterday. The first one was on February 12th, uh and it led to some follow-up discussions in Saudi Arabia. Some openings between security officials of both governments and now yesterday Putin and Trump had another substantive discussion. The readouts from both sides show pretty much the same view that progress was made that there's an ongoing dialogue that's now in progress and that this is going to continue to build trust and confidence in the two governments. That can then spread to the rest of the world.

"The major topic of course was Ukraine and the media was attempting to make the issue as the leaders in Europe make the issue: will Putin accept Trump's ceasefire proposal or not? Now that's not the issue. The issue is number one ending the war not just a ceasefire but a sustainable peace.

"But the bigger issue is the establishment of a process of dialogue which will lead to lasting peace and cooperation: a break with the Biden policy of non-cooperation and non-discussion and that has been quite successful. Now among the specific topics, on Ukraine there's agreement that the war must end, there's agreement that the war should never have started. Which shows that President Trump agrees with Vladimir Putin on a move toward an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, no more attacks on each side's energy capabilities and a maritime ceasefire for the Black Sea, also a prisoner exchange.

"Now beyond that there was discussion of the Middle East which is important given that Netanyahu decided to use yesterday with the attention on Ukraine as an opportunity to launch new strikes into Gaza which killed more than 400 Palestinians including a large number of children.

"But potential for cooperation in the Middle East was discussed including to prevent proliferation of strategic weapons which involved a discussion of cooperation to make sure that Iran is not a threat to Israel. They also discussed the economic situation, trade, energy policy.

"Speaking of breaking the ice, well there was an agreement to have a series of hockey matches between the US team and the Russian team so there'll be more diplomacy, and it's important that diplomacy should go on between nations.

"Meanwhile Zelensky's reaction was to downplay the importance of this. He's obviously upset that the US gravy train is coming to an end and Europe cannot replace it. So he's going to jump around and make a lot of noise and talk about democracy and freedom, and the barbarism of Russia.

"But the talk is that he may be one of the next pieces to go in order for there to be peace. Now it's also clear Europe cannot replace what's going to be lost from the United States.

"Starmer is going to have his Coalition of the Willing which is apparently not so willing to go along with the Empire of War. Whether it's NATO troops in Ukraine or whether it's a huge fund to make sure there are new weapons going into Ukraine. There was resistance in the European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels yesterday to the €40 billion proposal from the EU foreign policy head Kaja Kallas. The Italians and the Spanish said not so fast, we're not so committed to this. Let's see what happens with the Trump–Putin phone call. Even France is not so gung-ho and the opposition to Kallas emerged around a statement she made which is: 'The European Union wants Ukraine to win this war'. They're questioning her judgment. Do you really think Ukraine can win a war with Russia, is that what you're trying to do? So this unity of the 'war faction' is threatened by the fact that there's opposition in each of these countries to the rubber stamp for continued War.

"As I mentioned Netanyahu took advantage of the focus on Ukraine to launch new strikes into Gaza. Now there's growing opposition to Netanyahu within Israel. Haaretz had an editorial questioning Netanyahu's judgment in trying to fire the head of the Shin Bet even though the military says that the Shin Bet leader is not the problem: that Netanyahu is the problem. And you have the unfortunate situation where the White House at least seems to be giving a green light to Netanyahu to continue these attacks. So we're in a situation that requires a concentration of the population to break out of the passivity that's allowed this Empire to continue its destructive course.

"Now there are signs of of a very good thaw in Indian/Chinese relations. Narendra Modi reported on this yesterday. The Global South is moving ahead with infrastructure projects, the Belt and Road Initiative is continuing.

"In the midst of this, we're seeing contraction of the economy in Germany and disruptions in the rest of Europe. The British situation is horrendous. You have Starmer who is patterning himself after a mythical image of Winston Churchill in his mind, without recognising that he's presiding over the collapse of British industry. He's putting forward a defence sector which is incapable of winning a war or even fighting a war. And so the delusions of the warhawks are being exposed and the potential for a a new security order is now on the agenda.

"All of this is very significant and I'd encourage you to tune in today at noon on the Schiller Institute website to the discussion between Helga LaRouche and Larry Johnson the former CIA operative and analyst who just got back from Moscow where he was involved in the interview with Judge Napolitano with Sergey Lavrov the Russian foreign minister. Helga's insights are quite important, also what Larry has to say will be very interesting and the dialogue between them will give you more insights into what we can do to push forward the drive for a new paradigm and a break with the 500-year policy of European colonialism. So be sure to tune in for that. Spread this video around get people thinking!"

Criticism

Wikipedia

Wikipedia does not hold back when compiling a biography, which might indicate he broached taboo subjects, with articles like "George Bush: Crack Kingpin of the 1980s".

It states he "was an American political activist, convicted fraudster, cult leader and founder of the LaRouche movement," which "engaged in conspiratorial beliefs and violent and/or illegal activities" and "created disinformation" Later in the 1980s, criminal investigations led to convictions of several LaRouche movement members, including LaRouche himself."

Another taboo subject was the "October Surprise" allegation, namely that in October 1980 Ronald Reagan's campaign staff conspired with the Iranian government during the Iran hostage crisis to delay the release of 52 American hostages held in Iran, with the aim of helping Reagan win the 1980 United States presidential election against Jimmy Carter. The Iranians had agreed to this, according to the theory, in exchange for future weapons sales from the Reagan administration.

The analysis was later confirmed by former Iranian President Abolhassan Banisadr and other sources.
