We are one humanity; we have one future, which will either be the New Paradigm and peaceful relations among all nations on the planet, or we are going to destroy ourselves in a thermonuclear war which no one will survive. Join the International Peace Coalition Friday with Jonathan Kuttab, Executive Director of Friends of Sabeel North America and Co-Founder of Nonviolence International; Prof. Lier Pires Ferreira, professor, head of Nu-BRICS; Prof. Steve Starr, professor at the University of Missouri, former director of the MU Clinical Laboratory Science program.
Please send reports and initiatives for the agenda ASAP.
There is a new and different kind of world order taking shape, one of a completely different nature than the geopolitical, neocolonial system which has dominated the world for much of its history. This undeniable and unstoppable fact was apparent to all at the recently concluded United Nations General Assembly High Level Debate, at which leaders of nation after nation spoke of each country’s sovereign right to develop, of the importance of the principle of sovereign equality of nations, and of the fact that the actual composition of world power is no longer reflected in the desire of the few, the "golden billion," to dominate the interests of the many.
These nations of the Global South "are engaged in organizing a new economic system based on win-win cooperation, on the advantage of the other," Helga Zepp-LaRouche said in her webcast of Oct. 1, "and in that way are giving the formerly colonized countries the capability to no longer regard themselves, and be forced to be, raw material producing countries, but to develop the value chain in their own country, and that way starting the serious road to their own development and industrialization…. I think that that is a reality which will not go away."
While to a sane and moral person, the prospect of finally ending colonialism is an incredibly optimistic one, not everyone falls into that camp. Twenty-six heads of government from the EU met in Copenhagen on Wednesday to discuss how to keep the war in Ukraine, and against Russia, going, even as more and more Ukrainians are ground up on NATO’s battlefield. Blinded by perverse ideology and oligarchical loyalty, former British Defense Minister Ben Wallace told the Warsaw Security Forum on Oct. 1 that the West must "choke the life out of Crimea," and make it "uninhabitable," even attacking the Kerch Strait Bridge, in order to make an impression upon Russian President Putin.
Provoking the largest nuclear power on the planet into a war does not bode well for the survival of humankind.
And in Southwest Asia, attention is focused on whether Hamas will accept the Gaza peace plan announced at Oct. 29’s White House press conference with Trump and Netanyahu. There is much debate about the viability and legitimacy of the plan, about whether it will actually benefit the Palestinian population, and whether Netanyahu will sabotage it; aside from the obvious need to get Sir Tony Blair, whom Helga Zepp-LaRouche called "the late-day incarnation of the British Empire, responsible for the cockpit of conflict in the Middle East in the first place," as far away from Gaza as possible, the most urgent task is not to analyze what the plan is or isn’t, but to organize to ensure that what comes about is what must be: "What we have to do is to redouble our efforts to put the Oasis Plan on the agenda," Zepp-LaRouche insisted. "Only if there is a comprehensive change, economically—development, meaning the new name for peace is development," will people in Gaza, who "are in urgent need for such a vision for the future…have any hope."
