International Global Monitoring Aerospace Systems: Toward Collaboration in the Defense of Mankind  

by Benjamin Deniston, Pavel Penev, and Jason Ross

A delegation from the LaRouche Policy Institute reports back from a scientific conference on “Space and Global Security of Humanity,” held in Yevpatoria, Ukraine. Irregular solar activity, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, asteroid and comet impacts—these events don’t contemplate national boundaries before they strike. So why should we, when defending ourselves from them?

Resistance to Israeli Attack on Iran

by Jeffrey Steinberg

A battery of recent war-avoidance interventions by U.S. military and national security figures reflects a growing concern that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu could order an attack on Iran at any moment, and that President Obama has so far failed to deliver the kind of unambiguous warning to Israel that could greatly reduce the risk of an Israeli “breakaway ally” attack, triggering world war.
