The cry for revenge from the Netanyahu regime, backed by western governments, coheres with the brutal world outlook of Thomas Hobbes, who described social relations as a "war of each against all." The only guarantee of peace, in the Hobbesian universe, is a Leviathan, a dictatorial power over and above any form of representative sovereign government. Are you willing to submit to such a Leviathan, giving up your rights? If not, join us to demand that governments negotiate agreements which recognize the rights of all to peace, security and prosperity.

Listen to my discussion yesterday with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, on creating a "higher peace movement" through forging a new security and development architecture: Webcast: Stop the Slaughter in Southwest Asia — Survival Depends on Having the Courage to Change Axioms!

Circulate this leaflet to build that peace movement: Schiller Institute Statement for International Distribution: No More Money for Arms in Ukraine! No World War with Russia or China!!

‘Blessed Are the Peacemakers: in Memory of President John F. Kennedy’

At a moment of building tensions through the world, with wars ongoing and starvation and deaths from disease taking too many lives, and leaders unwilling to stand up against the private interests of the oligarchs who are operating in the shadows, I recommend we pause for a moment to remember the life of a great American—former President John F. Kennedy, who was taken from us 60 years ago today in Dallas, Texas, in an assassination still covered up by the people who were responsible for organizing both his death and the cover-up of the likely authors of his murder.
