In her weekly briefing to the International Peace Coalition
meeting, Helga Zepp-LaRouche insisted that the old unipolar order is
irreversibly disintegrating, and will be gone shortly. The rise of a
new, post-colonial world that aspires to something better can no
longer be postponed. The problem, is that the dried-out establishments
of the old order are maniacally resisting reality which will not be
denied. Zepp-LaRouche insisted, “We have to really think about how to
get to a New Paradigm in 2026; I think otherwise we potentially will
have the end of civilization. I really don’t think that this is an
exaggerated fear.”
As we approach to the end of the year, there are processes of
collapse and transformation which are lawfully unfolding in the world
today. There is Venezuela, where the Trump Administration is fumbling
with the idea of launching another un-winnable war, one which could
spread to more of South America nation which can involve the entire
region. There is Israel and Gaza, where an ongoing genocide plays out
on the world’s smartphones and television screens. There is the
military and moral cesspool of a depopulated Ukraine, where a NATO war
to the last Ukrainian has been staged by financially strapped and
increasingly desperate European elites who have refused to acknowledge
the reality on the battlefield—Ukraine’s complete and utter military
defeat. Finally, there is the marijuana-laced fever dream of a “Global
NATO” pivot towards Asia, with Taiwan, Japan and others being
encouraged in their militarization to take on China.
It could be an incredibly difficult and tumultuous 2026–or the
world could choose a new, more human paradigm to replace the old
disorder of colonialism, looting, and permanent wars, as was
demonstrated by the series of conferences held by the Schiller
Institute this year, in the United States, Germany, and France. A new
strategic and development architecture must develop, both in Europe
and the United States, together with the nations of the Global South;
with the groupings of the BRICS+, and the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization; and with all others prepared to cooperate based on
mutual respect between nations.
We need not be tragic. We must, despite ourselves, rise to the
occasion of this great moment, this “punctum saliens” in human
history. We must dare to be a new and irrefutable example of what
people can dare to do for a good cause and what they can achieve
through unity must become reality.
