Last weekend, the Schiller Institute held an extremely important
Memorial Day conference
in the New York City Metropolitan area discussing the ideas necessary
to implement a new global security and economic architecture and move
the world into a new paradigm and global renaissance. The first panel
opened with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of The Schiller
Institute, and included such speakers as H.E. Naledi Pandor, the
former Minister of International Relations and Cooperation in South
Africa, and H.E. Donald Ramotar, the former President of Guyana.
The Schiller Institute and The LaRouche Organization are at the
center of creating the necessary policy initiatives and dialogue among
nations which is so desperately needed in these dangerous times of
transition from a collapsing “rules-based” order of the West into a
new system where each nation is allowed to exert their sovereignty and
pursue massive economic development to benefit their peoples.
Ending the war in Ukraine is not going to be a walk in the park, as
Trump may have imagined it would be when he first came into office.
Indeed, the world is not so simple, as the British Empire is still
absolutely determined to continue the confrontation against Russia by
any and all means at their disposal. The Russians are increasingly and
rightfully laying the blame on the British for manipulating the
strategic situation. It is the British that are behind German
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s announcement that Ukraine is allowed to
use German and other European missiles to strike as deep into Russia
as they would like. Add to that announcement the recent attack on
Putin’s helicopter by several hundred drones—an
attack which raises questions about whether it was carried out
with Western nations’ assistance. These are, needless to say, very
dangerous escalations.
The situation in Gaza continues to be a horror show and a
heartbreaking scene, with the continued daily bombings of children and
other innocent civilians, along with the starvation of an entire
people. As Dr. Feroze Sidhwa told the UN Security Council:
During the five weeks I spent in Gaza, I didn’t see or treat a
single combatant. My patients were six-year-old children with shrapnel
in their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with
shattered pelvises and fetuses split in two in the womb.
The level of suffering these people have endured is beyond our
imaginations, and if we do nothing to stop it, as Dr. Feroze warned
the UNSC, then it would mean the “collapse of our collective
conscience.”
Despite the ineffable horrors going on in the world, not just in
Gaza, but also in places like Sudan, where millions are displaced and
without food, there is reason to be optimistic about the future of
humanity. There is a new system in the world being led by the BRICS
nations, which not only represents a new inclusive global economic
system but which also represents the moral standard which is so
desperately needed—and is lacking in the Trans-Atlantic
nations. The Schiller Institute’s conference from last weekend
represented that beautiful and achievable vision of the future, a
vision of a world in which the massive suffering of people will become
something that is only read about in history books. Let us fight with
all our strength to achieve such ends.
