Excerpt from a keynote address given by Lyndon LaRouche on Sept. 2, 2000 to the annual Labor Day weekend conference of the International Caucus of Labor Committees and the Schiller Institute.

March 24—Consider Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s warning to the 42nd consecutive meeting of the International Peace Coalition, March 22: “I think that the worsening of the strategic situation will dawn on people all over the world, because if the Russians are actually saying that there is now a state of war, that will be heard. I can only hope that a lot of idiotic people who think this is all bluff and will not happen, will wake up.”
