A portion of the concluding statement of the remarkable discussion of the International Peace Coalition (IPC), made by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, hit the nail on the head. The session, entitled the “New U.S. Nuclear Doctrine: Reason for the World to Worry,” first laid out the severely advanced nature of the thermonuclear confrontation. Zepp-LaRouche addressed the root cause of the war drive and, hence, the solution:
“…the underlying reason of the conflict is on the one side, the pending threatening collapse of the trans-Atlantic system sitting on the $33 trillion of U.S. debt, but furthermore, $2 quadrillion outstanding in derivatives which could be detonating at any moment. Then secondly, that the real cause and the change in the strategic doctrines in the U.S. which was then accompanied by a uniform blasting of Russia and China by all the trans-Atlantic think tanks, which really started in 2017. The reason being the rise of China and the rise of the BRI, where China extended the Chinese economic model to other developing countries.…
“As some of you may know, the Eurasian Land-Bridge was our design for a peace order in 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed. A lot of what China is doing now is in affinity with what my late husband and our movement did for half a century.
“Therefore, you don’t solve the problem by just making a new defense treaty or disarmament treaty or any such thing. You have to address the root causes, which means you have to have a change in the paradigm.
“I think we can become friends again with not only the Russians, but also every other country in the world or people in the world if we consider that we are the one humanity. Whatever historical, ethnic and other divisions may separate us, we must make the jump to first think about the interests of humanity as a whole, and then go to our national interests. In a certain sense, it’s the opposite of America First. America second, or American in line with humanity first. I think that mental jump has to be made.
“I think we need to address the conflict that President Ramotar said, the world is falling into two blocs. That should not happen. We have to have a situation where the United States and European nations stop this geopolitical nonsense and say we cooperate with the Global Majority. If the countries of the Global South are now finally after 600 years of colonialism intending to build their own system which allows for their economic development; we should not fight it, we should support it.”
September 8 marked the 102nd birthday of Lyndon LaRouche—the world-historic statesman and the most accurate economic forecaster of his time. There is no one whose life and contributions stand more at the center of current world history than LaRouche, and at the same time whose enemies tried harder to silence, slander, and eliminate him. As the current world system is in a process of breakdown, shifting from the post-World War II order to a new, post-colonial architecture (if we survive such a transition), there is no one whose work will play a more definitive role in determining the success of a new system than Lyndon LaRouche—whose legacy is currently being carried forward by his wife, Helga Zepp-LaRouche.
The LaRouche movement has for decades been addressing the world’s historical direction from the highest level, including the higher vision of development that makes it possible to resolve the crises in Southwest Asia. The International Peace Coalition, convened by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, is taking on the task of galvanizing efforts to stop war, while presenting at the same time the parameters of an active, energetic peace worthy of the inherent dignity of our human species.
