For those who missed the call last night, playback number is 712-770-5506, access code 536662#, reference #166. 

The title of this message says it all. Pull out all the stops in building the Sept. 5-6 Schiller Institute video conference, War Drive Towards Armageddon Or a New Paradigm Among Sovereign Nations United by the Common Aims of Mankind? The call last night featured major status reports on the organizing, and enterprising use of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to generate large multiples of outreach. Get immediate RSVPs so that people get regular updates on speakers and topics so they in turn intensify outreach over the next 11 days.

The four panels over the two days will cover the strategic overview; frontiers of science and technology; the World Land Bridge and physical economy; and a world cultural renaissance. One of the speakers on the call aptly summarized the conference as a whole, as "the Science of the Common Aims of Mankind". 

See today's LPAC Video Update from Harley Schlanger for an effective 10-minute presentation of why maximum participation in the conference is imperative:  Don't Get Distracted, The Major Issues Remain the War Danger and the Collapse of the Financial/Economic System.

Get the Schiller Institute's beautiful cultural intervention to counteract the Empire's venomous anti-China campaign out widely: Defend the Yellow River Schiller Institute Chorus 2020. Press release exerpted below. All Chinese-American institutions and individuals you know, such as Confucius Institutes, are a good starting place, but go out from there.

For the Burke for Senate Youth Town Hall tomorrow (Wednesday), 7 PM EDT, to which everyone of any age are encouraged to RSVP: Henry Wallace Would Have Fed the World and Prevented Nuclear War — Will We?.

SCHILLER INSTITUTE NYC CHORUS PRESS RELEASE

When a War Song Sues for Peace

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Since music is the universal language, what better means to celebrate the defeat of fascism than to sing the songs that inspired populations to seize that victory at that time?

Of the nations of the Alliance, Russia (the Soviet Union) and China suffered the greatest losses of population: 27 million people in The Soviet Union and 20 million people in China died. The Schiller Institute NYC Chorus recorded a virtual performance of the Russian war song "Tri Tankista" (Three Tankmen) for the occasion of V-E Day on May 8, 2020 and received many heartfelt responses from the people of Russia.

Now we present "Defend the Yellow River" as our gift to the people of China in tribute to their contribution in the war against fascism in Asia, observed on September 2, 75 years ago.

This song is one movement of "The Yellow River Cantata" written in 1939 by a beloved Chinese composer Xian Xinghai, a setting of a patriotic poem by Guang Weiran. 

Our chorus is a true American chorus, comprised of individuals from many different cultural and national backgrounds, brought together in the love of music. We sue for peace, when all nations can combine their efforts for the good of the only true race, the human one.
