Not only the United States as it approaches its Election Day, but most of the nations of the world are facing financial and economic crises accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which are going to worsen across this Summer and Fall. Stock markets are soaring while real economies crawl through corporate bankruptcies and mass unemployment like Pegasus trying to pull an iron sledge. Those bankruptcies will bring down the soaring markets in a crash if they are allowed to accelerate.
The United States is facing the worst of an international wave of Jacobinism, one which is trying to destroy and obliterate the foundations of the American Revolution and the history of the American Republic which was a beacon of hope. With almost universal support from American national media of all kinds, the Jacobins who appeared on the streets among demonstrators for racial justice, are now attacking the heroes of the American Republic as effigies of evil-doers and pulling down their monuments. President Trump attempted at Mount Rushmore to stress the courage of that Revolution against the mighty British Empire, a worldwide military and financial force of oppression.
The nations of the world, now facing multiple existential crises of pandemic disease, economic collapse and food shortage at the same time, need the leaders of the most powerful nations to break their current profiles and meet in a summit process, starting very soon. They need a “September Surprise” — summitry which begins by that time to attack these crises by building a new, modern world healthcare system of hospitals, clinics and labs; and by creating a new system of credit for development projects. President Putin has been organizing since January for a summit of the United Nations Security Council permanent members’ heads of state; the Schiller Institute has urged since January a summit of America, China, Russia and India.
Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche noted today that all of the leaders in either summit configuration have shared their respect and appreciation for President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Good Neighbor policies. They make the agenda starting point for a summit process. If it is to change the dynamic which is bringing on a financial crash, she said, it must begin soon — by no later than September.
