The entire post-1991 “unipolar order,” a disease which has sought to subjugate the vast majority of nations for the sole purpose of preserving, not one country’s hegemony over others, but the hegemony of a dying imperial monetary system that has no allegiance to any nation—the Anglo-Dutch financial system of the City Of London and Wall Street— has begun to crumble in the past week. The commitment to thermonuclear war with Russia, in defense of that monetary system, dominated the Obama-Biden administrations, and also the Cheney-Bush “9/11” administration. Powered by the British-engineered “Russiagate” hoax, the intent was to prevent the first Trump Administration from making meaningful strides toward either Russia or China. That treason against the human race has now been superseded. The U.S. and Russia, whose delegations met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, have resumed the path of rational discussion among equals, while completely normalizing relations. 

The hardline war hawk establishment in Europe has not taken too kindly to this initiative, with such saboteurs for peace as Boris Johnson attempting once again to destroy any normalization of relations between the United States and Russia. A desperate, ragged, and unhinged Volodymyr Zelenskyy has taken to publicly denouncing Trump for not inviting him to Riyadh, which led to Trump calling him a “Dictator without Elections.”

These are all welcome developments, among those who support peace, but of course, much more is needed to bring about the kind of changes in policy which take into account the tectonic shifts emanating from the BRICS+, China’s Belt & Road Initiative, and the sense of resilience and optimism emerging from the Global South. 

The reaction by the Global South against Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, for example, is among the issues yet to be resolved. Lyndon LaRouche, in his 1983 policy paper, “Saudi Arabia In The Year 2023,” situates Southwest Asia in its proper role as a strategic crossroad for the world, which if developed through water management systems, high-speed rail corridors, and nuclear power, can play a part in a new, security and development architecture as envisioned by the Schiller Institute and its founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche.

Kynan Thistlethwaite will present excerpts of LaRouche’s “Saudi Arabia in the Year 2023.” Diane Sare will give a report on the LaRouche Organization’s recent deployment to Washington, D.C. with Doctors Against Genocide.
