In May of 2009, Lyndon LaRouche was invited to speak at Central Connecticut State University lecture series sponsored by the late anti-Zionist Jewish activist and scholar Norton Mezvinsky. LaRouche's lecture, titled "The End of Sykes-Picot: Moving Beyond Colonialism," was delivered before an audience of approximately 200 faculty, students, and guests. 

In November of 1975, Lyndon LaRouche and his associates had organized a seminar in Paris on his Middle East development plan (later called the 'Oasis Plan'), with the planned participation of France and Middle East and African nations. The seminar, which was to have been held at the Iraqi ambassador's residence, was directly sabotaged by the U.S. embassy in Paris on the explicit orders of then Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Over subsequent decades, LaRouche continued to put forth this detailed proposal of a 'New Marshall Plan' for the Middle East, which ultimately gained the support of many inside Israel, as well as Palestinians and others within the Arab world. 

What made LaRouche's 'Oasis Plan' so dangerous to the British imperial system and its captive post-war American foreign policy establishment typified by Kissinger, was that it was never meant to be some simple "local" solution to the problems of the Middle East, but rather a central part of a strategy to end the entire dying colonial system globally, hence the title of his lecture here. Fortunately, that anti-colonial spirit that characterized the American Revolution has now been rekindled in the Global South, as typified by China's Belt and Road Initiative and the BRICS process. 

Will the United States return to her own pro-growth, anti-colonial tradition and now finally, after a half a century, adopt LaRouche's policy? As recent history has shown, any other pragmatic, so-called "solutions" within the legacy geopolitical framework will continue to fail miserably.

May 29, 2025 (EIRNS)—One thematic throughout the just-concluded Schiller Institute international conference, was the necessity of diplomacy and dialogue in world affairs. This was even personified in the proceedings by the participation of veteran diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador Jack Matlock, and current world leader Dr. Naledi Pandor, former South African Minister of Foreign Affairs.
