Feb. 17—The following statement by Helga Zepp-LaRouche has been prepared for international organizing activities, including demonstrations occurring in the next week, devoted to stopping World War Three, now focused in Ukraine. As of today, this statement should receive the widest possible circulation. It proposes a solution, in its section “Principles for a Durable Peace,” which arms its readers with the one thing without which they must fail in their attempt to prevent humanity’s catastrophic self-destruction: optimism. “It is high time that we bring the political, economic, and social order on Earth into cohesion with the actual physical laws of the universe, which will also give rise to an unbounded optimism about the creative lawfulness which underlies creation.”
