New Security Architecture

Humanity For Peace is proud to announce that on this occasion, August 6, 2023, an international rally will be held to remind the world that nuclear war should never be fought and can never be won. Humanity is better than that, and we must reject the destiny of inevitable war as a morally repugnant and horribly cynical view.

Speakers: Harley Schlanger, Janice Kortkamp, Ray McGovern, Cliff Kiracofe

Dec. 31—“There are sayings around the Kennedy Center, carved above the marble above the colonnades when you walk in. And on the back side toward the Potomac, there’s one; it’s a quote from President Kennedy that says: ‘I look forward to the day when America is no longer afraid of grace and beauty.’ And I thought immediately when he was shot, that that’s why he was shot. We are afraid of grace and beauty.”—Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General, quoted in the documentary “Citizen Clark”

Dec. 10—The war threat situation is worsening by the day. It is epitomized by the ceremony at Omaha, Nebraska on Dec. 9, for the changeover of command of the U.S. Strategic Command. Present were the outgoing commander Adm. Charles Richard; the new commander Gen. Anthony Cotton; and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. They each held forth, as would Dr. Strangelove, on aspects of the “tripolar” nuclear situation with the U.S., Russia and China, and that the U.S. has to “compete successfully.”

June 2—The most recent manifestation of empire has taken the form, since World War II, of an Anglo-American “special relationship” dedicated, especially since the fall of the Soviet Union, to ruling a unipolar world under its financial, cultural, and military control.

While most people live under the delusion that nuclear war is not possible, the U.S.-NATO policy makers are preparing to fight one.

Apr. 28—The April 26 multi-national military conclave at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany, and its follow-on, go way beyond Global NATO. It is an outright Global Imperium of the self-anointed, “rules-based,” would-be rulers of the world.

April 20—The world’s leading finance ministers, central bankers, and private financiers gathered in Washington, D.C. the first three days of this week, for the annual spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. They admitted publicly that up to 1.7 billion people face a severe food crisis and hunger this year. They nodded sagely at reports that inflation of 50, 80, even 120% on food and energy products had exploded in Germany and across Europe, not to mention desperate South America. They concurred that the debt of low-income countries had become utterly unpayable and would be blowing out shortly. And they congratulated each other on their scorched-earth sanctions with which they intend to wipe Russia—and any and all other rebellious nations—off the face of the Earth.

April 17—As we move forward from the achievements of the April 9 Schiller Institute conference, we rightly also look back for further sustenance, clarity, and courage for the battles that lie immediately ahead in these most troubled of times.

April 14—Less than a week has passed since the Schiller Institute international conference—“For a Conference to Establish a New Security and Development Architecture for All Nations,” whose participation and level of discussion signify that humanity can survive today’s crises of existence that we face in the form of nuclear war danger, economic breakdown, and cultural degradation. What is critical is building the momentum to get out the truth and policies in the common interest.
