June 12—As of this past weekend’s Symposium, “The World Needs JFK’s Vision of Peace!” the International Schiller Institute conference process has now provided the cultural vantage point and “placement” for a dialogue between real Western civilization, represented by President John F. Kennedy’s American University “Peace Speech,” and the new direction of the “Global Majority,” as expressed in the Feb. 4, 2022, “China-Russia Joint Statement on International Relations Entering a New Era.” With Air Defender 23, the largest military maneuver in the history of the NATO Alliance, as the backdrop, the necessary “higher ground” deliberations must begin in earnest.
