The LeadThe Old Paradigm and The Hordes at Munich
by Stewart Battle (EIRNS) — Feb. 16, 2026
The world strategic situation is defined by the various efforts to revitalize imperialism on the one hand, and on the other this dying system’s conflict with the efforts of the Global South to establish a new, more just world system. This was the assessment of Helga Zepp-LaRouche during a discussion with associates on Feb. 16 following the dramatic developments of the past few days.
Characteristic of the efforts to revitalize a naked imperialism were the remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who bemoaned the post-war contraction of “the great Western empires” during his speech at the Munich Security Conference. Rubio laid out the cynical worldview that is increasingly coming to dominate the Trump administration: “In a perfect world, all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But we do not live in a perfect world, and we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate.” You see, men are creatures that only understand brute force, Rubio asserts.
Of course, Rubio’s remarks were also a not-so-veiled threat against Europe, whom Rubio addressed by saying, “America is charting the path for a new century of prosperity, and … we want to do it together with you.” But rather than condemning Rubio’s assertion that Western hegemonism must again dominate the world, he instead received a standing ovation by his European counterparts! Not only did European leaders trip over themselves in making ever-greater rearmament commitments for the alleged coming war with Russia, but a new discussion has broken out over the expansion of nuclear weapons across the continent. Polish President Karol Nawrocki has become the most recent one to announce this, when he said during a Feb. 15 interview: “I’m a great supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project…. This path, with respect to all international regulations, is the path we should follow.” Nawrocki’s comments followed similar statements by Latvia, Finland, Sweden, and Germany.
At the same time, there was enormous disarray in Munich. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz explicitly said there is a rift between Europe and the United States, and that the rules-based order “no longer exists.” He also pounded the war drums against Russia, saying that defending Europe’s freedom will require everyone to “make sacrifices.” Similarly, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that hard power is “the currency of the age,” and therefore, “we must be ready to fight.”
In the backdrop of all this, however, is the continued rollout of the Epstein files. These files do not only incriminate the individuals who have been exposed—which itself remains only a small fraction of the actual number who were involved—but are an indictment of the entire imperial order which has tolerated this kind of thinking, as with Rubio’s barbaric outlook. This point was made powerfully in a Feb. 13 op-ed by U.K. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. After criticizing Prime Minister Starmer’s “shameful, appalling” decision to appoint Epstein-friend Peter Mandelson, Corbyn takes the scandal to a much higher level: All the other politicians lined up to replace Starmer “are likely to carry forward the abject political legacy he leaves behind. That includes the failure to redress the obscene levels of inequality in our society; the disgraceful attacks on the disabled; the disgusting anti-migrant hatred…; and the ongoing military cooperation with Israel as it violates the sham ceasefire and continues its genocide against the Palestinian people.” As EIR has repeatedly insisted, it’s not Epstein that was the problem, but rather the entire system of which Epstein was merely a symptom.
The Epstein scandal is the death knell of the Western liberal system, Zepp-LaRouche noted further, “because it has revealed the utmost immorality of what’s behind colonialism and what’s behind interventionist wars—imperial wars of all sorts. And I think that is not going to go away. It is a symptom of a dying empire, and whatever the agony will be, how long it will stretch on, I do not think it can be reversed.”
Therefore, the fight for a new paradigm and a cultural renaissance has never been more important than it is today. “Because the real war is the war of culture and the image of man. Is man a beast? … Or is it the noble idea, of the human species as the only species gifted with creative reason, and capable of making beautiful compositions in classical music, building cathedrals, and writing poems? And that is the real battle of this whole thing…. That is the most important answer we have to give to that, because otherwise people will just sink in despair and disgust, and then there will be no hope for humanity.”

ParticipantFor all the dumb shit Trump has been doing and not do, I generally like what he’s doing with getting rid of illegal immigrants and trying to shut down voter fraud.
It’s ham-handed (lacking dexterity or grace) and kludgy (A clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem)
The ICE raids looked like Amateur Hour, like a shitshow.
They could have easily rounded up more people on the low down, avoided the manufactured headline sob stories and violence that the Demonrats are racking up brownie points for their TDS cult with.
But the general concept of ridding the country of invaders is sound.
Try sneaking into most countries illegally and you end up being interrogated and beaten in a prison cell very quickly, no lawyer, no nothing.
The general concept of voter fraud is sound except voter fraud in many Ah’merican Big Shities and states is a religious ritual that has gone on for decades if not a century or so.
NYC and Chicago spring to mind.
That being said, proving who you are with an “ID” is inevitably leading to Digital Orwell ID©
Driver Licenses don’t cut it, we had fake Driver Licenses for under age drinking half a century ago.
Fake Birth Certificates are not that hard to conjure up with today’s printing technologies.
So how to prove who you are without linking every data point you’ve ever generated in your entire life into a Singularity of Access© that completes a totalitarian dream come true.

“debt spiral,””There are three ways out from under trillions and trillions in debt.
1. inflate away the debt,
2. default, a) negotiate how big a haircut you’re going to take, b) a disorderly default, where Washington just stops paying and there’s a global run on the dollar, markets collapse, and savings evaporate.
3. to grow out, — primarily deregulation and tax cuts, rein in spending growth
4. there is a fourth option, and that’s send the military into foreign countries to steal what we can’t pay for.

The Rabbit Hole
“Boris Nikolic is a physician and former science and technology adviser to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation who appears in prior reporting and court filings about Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
The newly released U.S. Department of Justice files contain unsent draft emails that prosecutors say were written by Epstein to himself in 2013 in which Epstein impersonates or scripts statements in Nikolic’s voice making salacious, unverified allegations about Bill Gates; those drafts are not authenticated statements from Nikolic and Gates’s team has called the claims false

ParticipantSo is the idea to get Dow 60,000 so when it drops 90%, it’s only 6,000? Normally I’d say yes, but I think we’re doing neither: we are currency-swapping.
On the state of the U.S. and $1 Trillion every 80 days?
As we’ve just seen, half of it is fraud. Here’s the other: what if you STOLE that money from Minnesota to an NGO located in Europe and bought Treasury bonds with it? We can see you now, you know. Couldn’t before, but we can track the records easily now.
We don’t have to pay. It was all fraud, all along, all the way down. Revalue gold to 10k (20k?) refuse half the national debt on VERY REAL open fraud and crime. US balanced, overnight. This seems to be what Bessant is saying. Hey who DID all this trillion in crime AND owns all our bonds? China, right?
Nope. Europe on both.
Okay, so HOW would we legally do this? Like how did we set a precedent we can investigate and remove eg Presidents, cabinets, lawyers? I mean, you can’t complain now YOU said “locking him up” was good, legal and right. Wellll….how do we track the money, default on Europe?
WE JUST DID THAT TO RUSSIA. YOU set the precedent, Ursula. You begged and pleaded and kicked your little feet to open this door. The West can – and should – freeze US$/Treasury assets of people we don’t like, engaged in bad behaviors. Not a whisper of dissent. So when we discover all these Treasuries we thought we owed were actually straight fraud?
Well I guess we “Freeze” them, just like Russia, no? Isn’t that right and just and everyone agrees is good?
Again: we’re NOT making this up to get out of it. It WAS real, actual criminal theft and fraud. That would be only doing what is legally required, morally right, and the bare minimum required.
“The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2026 to 2036” — doesn’t use the phrase “debt spiral,” but Fortune’s Jason Ma did on Saturday, and I’m totally stealing it.”

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how things work. His assumption is Europe is not responsible for ANYTHING. Also they are not CAPABLE of anything. Whut? Are they all black now or something, the other place I hear this argument? (Don’t answer that).
Here’s an idea: LIFT A FINGER. Do some WORK. You can’t? Huh, that’s odd, Russia did and they were a million times worse off and mostly still are by the numbers.
But to repeat every day bc apparently I have to now: Rubio and the Admin are expanding the Empire by LEAVING Europe, STOPPING in China, and RETREATING to the Western Hemisphere, because every day is OppositeDay.
WHY are they Weaker, Sir? Europe has BOTH a larger GDP, AND a larger population than the U.S. Are you sucky worthless people? You’re also 5,000 miles away, AND across an ocean you can sink us on…totally defenseless, I guess. Every day you tell the Bond market it’s the U.S. who sucks and will collapse, but actually it’s the complete Opposite? Pick one. Okay fine: you win, you suck. EuroBonds fall 70%. Happy now?

Okay, WHY?

So the whole strategy of the good guys was to make the (British, CIA) Empire overcommit resources, dragging a “Surge” into a “Daily”. Just like Charlie did in Vietnam, god bless them. So the reason so much election fraud was, THEY THOUGHT THEY’D WIN. It was just a month until Comey was in, ho would erase all the records, they’d round up and kill all the Red Hats, and Bob’s yer Uncle, just like Russian Rev 1.0.

Let’s broaden this. WHAT is the point of all the destabilization, etc, in England, on THEMSELVES? For example? The point is to COLLAPSE GOVERNMENT. Worldwide.

Well if “corporations” (or rather some sort of bizarre outgrowth look-alike) are running things, then what? Yes, they have to be larger, displace national (elected) governments. And they ALREADY are.

Then pay to import criminals, run and defend drugs and violent mafias, and pay to have race relations collapse. None of it is organic. All made up to collapse national government by having disorder. This is straight, vanilla socialist textbook: people won’t rise up and kill their neighbors for you, so you must MAKE them, by so thoroughly immiserating them, they’ll kill the first other human they see. Then sit back and watch the Glorious Revolution Fun! The ends justify the means! But the key is to utterly destroy and make desperate and starving all minorities and the working class. #Winning!

Also: No “Tensions exploded”, nothing was “behind closed doors” (or you wouldn’t have heard about it), there was no “dramatic shift’, no political landscapes were “reshaped”, nor was there the slightest risk of any.
PS, I did “Not subscribe” this is not “Political analysis”, and it is all “Spin” and all “hype”, and it’s clearly not resembling “Honesty”, nor a “breakdown,” and definitely not of what’s “Actually happening”.

Ai is another hustle designed to transfer wealth upward.
I wish that was all that it was because in fact AI (formerly and more accuratly called “machine intelligence) is a whole lot worse than that, and I am NOT guessing or just offering up my own 2 cents worth of some old geezer’s opinion. I am INFORMED and “have the receipts” for what it actually is because I was accidently an unwittingly instrumental instigator in it’s creation in the first place. Scout’s honor. I’m not lying, kidding or making shit up to impress the locals.
I would be happy to share the details with anyone who’s interested but I am not sitting by the phone expectant of anyone’s call. The truth of the matter is that “AI” and the broader project that machine intelligence is core central to, is the most vilely evil thing to hit the planet since Baal.
I sure do hope nevertheless that somebody around these parts is interested because I’m going to be leaking it out in bits and pieces regardless. You guys need to hear this stuff, whether you’re interested or not.
Don’t worry. It’s all just “boring” hard facts, science and math. Hardly anything spiritual to it, except right there in the punchline at the end.

Participantyou know you are old when you watched reruns of The Amos and Andy show on televsion as a child
That ain’t old! Although when you watched the3 original on TV might be. They haven’t matched Playhouse 90 and Fireside Theatre for quality since.

ParticipantKunstler’s “way of the words”.
Like Jewish clarinet gone wild, major notes reserved for “everybody else” and soft landing minor for the beloved tribe.
Pretty much the case with anybody of them, publicly known, featuring unmistakable J-mug.February 17, 2026 at 4:42 pm #231095D Benton Smith
ParticipantHow interesting!
Even here, on TAE, Home of the mighty “Real Futurists”, there is no expressed interest in the topic that poses the greatest singular threat to everyone’s future, both in the material world and the one beyond.
That means the AI is doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is to make folks as unaware of their surroundings as it is possible to get and still be breathing.
Maybe the way to get the ball rolling is for me to pick a fight with someone. That usually works to get a conversation going. Any takers? Anybody wanna fight, or are you all going to force me to become even more annoying?

ParticipantIn the meantime, listen to this: https://youtu.be/lfP3G6GGNXA?si=vmdXQbuE-wOe1JvZ
Which ties back in directly to the so-called AI Everything world you’re drowning in. Ask me how I know.

ParticipantInformation overload on “Military summary”videos.
I don’t know about other visitors of the site, painstaking minute information on Russian advance (or temp retreat) in so many small villages and city neighborhoods I found nauseating.
Anybody watching with the glued-to-the-screen interest?February 17, 2026 at 4:55 pm #231098D Benton Smith
ParticipantOh, Gee! Look at this video that the You Tube AI just posted to my feed immediately adjacent to the one I just posted to you (above, regarding Thomas Massie’s take on the Epstein debacle).
What’s so interesting about the richest man on Earth and a major player in Earth Satelites, Weapons Systems, Brain chipping, and ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE development and deployment? Who also just happens to be an Epsteinian.
I dunno, let’s see if you guys can figure it out:
February 17, 2026 at 5:09 pm #231099D Benton Smith
ParticipantAnd the very next video (verily I’m laying the truth on you here) that You Tubes algos sent to my feed was this one. Now just tell me that was a “coincidence”. https://youtu.be/3nqryeIpDTw?si=M1TxhK5m76gNrnZu
Incidentally, and as an aide to the geezers here on TAE who do not yet see and speak like today’s 25-30 year olds do. The vid is presented in thinly veiled code-speak that is based on making fun of and ridiculing their parent’s generation. Once you learn the lingo that Asmongold video clip will make you laugh your ass off and soil your pants at the same time.

ParticipantAlright, then. I hear the silence clearly. If you listen to this next short clip I’ll stop bothering y’all for a while. https://youtu.be/QnD2bCeuvCU?si=C3pXkipY-OZxr4pI

ParticipantDBS.
I don’t think you need to pick a fight with anyone here. Unless you really want to.
I’m certainly open to questioning AI.
To me, AI looks like the bubble to burst all bubbles.
The Curtain Hits the Cast.
I don’t think I’m the first here at TAE to express such.
Have at it.
Once again, thanks for coming back RIM.February 17, 2026 at 5:54 pm #231103D Benton Smith

Well, Alright! There’s a man in the bar after all.
Donald Trump is the ONLY President since Joe Biden. Besides, when the bar gets set that low you’re more likely to stub your toe than you are to clear it. My gripe is that no one seems to give a damn about what AI actually IS, and therefore how and why it’s being used to do what it’s doing. No one has a clue, and they don’t wanna get a clue either. I have seen LESS shifting and dodging with people Running the Gauntlet.

ParticipantDBS,
FYI, If you can lay out your perspective without linking to 25 minute videos, that would be even better.
Thanks. -
