Once Pandora’s box is opened, closing it again does not affect the
changes that have been placed into motion. The attack by the United
States on Iran last week shattered the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
treaty, deeply wounded the United Nations Security Council, and
justified the practice of preventive war that was denounced as a crime
against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials. What must now be done, is
that citizens of good will, worldwide, must act to establish a new
world security and development architecture. They cannot wait for
their doomed governmental elites to figure out what they are incapable
of thinking about, because thermonuclear war “through miscalculation”
could thereby result.
Fortunately, for the past three years, an international
dialogue initiated by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche,
through her “Ten Principles For A New Security And Development
Architecture,” has prepared representatives of world institutions, and
even governments in some cases, to forge a path forward. Standing in
the way as an a stable to human progress are unreconstructed “ole time
religion” British imperialists, now exercising an outsized influence
on the American Presidency. They hope that the international order set
into motion in 1944-45 by Franklin Roosevelt, and institutionalized by
the formation of the United Nations and the establishment of what they
refer to as the “rules-based international system,” has now been
irreparably shattered.
In the words of British Conservative David Starkey, “what we’ve
got to understand, is that the rules of the game have changed. They’ve
changed utterly. The world in which we thought we lived, in which most
of my lifetime we’ve lived, which is a world of the so-called
“Rules-Based International System– “RUBIS – has shattered.… Exactly 3
years ago, on the day that Putin invaded, I predicted the end of
RUBIS…. We’ve moved back from that world of the United Nations, into
something like 19th century great power politics…We’re back in the
world of Palmerston. “
It is not the practices of British imperialist Lord Palmerston,
but the principles of 19th century American President John Quincy
Adams, that must prevail. A “John Quincy Adams Brigade” of such “John
Q. Citizens” is now organizing for that new security and development
architecture, so that the Hope, left at the bottom of Pandora’s box,
can now take wings in a world that stands at the crossroads of
thermonuclear Hell, or a bright, new future for all of humanity. The
International Peace Coalition, and international representatives of
The LaRouche Organization will put forward, in a series of
presentations, why individual citizens, and what they do, can, at this
moment of apparent darkness, through Hope, chart a new course for
world history.
