There is a single, unique trajectory out of the extinction crisis towards which the planet is otherwise careening. That trajectory involves President Donald Trump, in the three months remaining before the November Presidential election, picking up and driving forward full-throttle with the two, standing strategic proffers placed before the United States by our key potential allies against the British Empire, Russia and China.
In the case of Russia, we are referring to President Vladimir Putin’s January 2020 call to convene an emergency summit of the Permanent Five (P-5) members of the UN Security Council, which would take up the vital questions of war and peace, a new security architecture, and the economic and health crises facing all of mankind.
The second proffer was made by China, in the form of an unusual, prominent editorial in the July 31 edition of the semi-official Global Times, which urged President Trump to stop trying to deflect blame for the COVID-19 and deep economic crisis besetting the U.S. onto the Chinese, but to instead “join hands” with China and make common cause to defeat those all-too-real problems. The editorial accurately stated that such an approach was also the best way for Trump to ensure an electoral victory in November, against a Democratic Party that will otherwise try to blame Trump personally for every ill besetting the nation — ills, we would hasten to add, that were principally caused by the Wall Street and City of London policies imposed by those same Democrats, and most Republicans as well, for the better part of the last half-century.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche has welcomed the proffer communicated through the Global Times, while at the same time launching an international organizing drive to assemble a chorus of voices demanding that such a P-5 summit be convened immediately, in September. A series of Schiller Institute conferences over the coming weeks are scheduled to culminate in a major Sept. 5-6 international online conference to take up exactly those issues. The conference — to be held with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish, French, German and other languages — will meet under the headline “War Drive Towards Armageddon or a New Paradigm Among Sovereign Nations United by the Common Aims of Mankind.” The conference invitation states, in part:
“We are confronted with the simultaneous escalation of a pandemic out of control, an economic collapse triggered, but not caused by the pandemic, a pending collapse of the transatlantic financial system, and an increasing danger not only of a new Cold War, but the danger that the unthinkable might truly happen, and a third, this time, thermonuclear world war could break out. We are surely facing a systemic collapse—the end of an epoch. It is now becoming more and more apparent to many forces throughout the world, that Lyndon LaRouche’s 1971 warning was absolutely prophetic: that Richard Nixon’s ending of the Bretton Woods system by replacing fixed exchange rates with an international floating exchange rate system, and his striking out on the path of monetarism would lead to the danger of a new fascism, depression, pandemics, and war.… Lyndon LaRouche long called for a Four Power Agreement among the U.S., China, Russia, and India as the best starting point for bringing about such a new paradigm. Today, the only visible realistic framework to move in that direction, in the short term, is the conference of the permanent five members of the UN Security Council that was proposed by President Putin in January.”
The invitation goes on to specify the policies such a summit must adopt:
“A mechanism of solving all international problems through dialogue and diplomacy.
“A New Bretton Woods system—as it was intended by Franklin D. Roosevelt and elaborated by Lyndon LaRouche—with the explicit aim of overcoming poverty and the underdevelopment of the so-called developing countries, starting with a modern health system in every country.
“An agreement to make the program: ‘The New Silk Road becomes the World Land Bridge’ the basis for building to the best modern standards the infrastructural and industrial development of all countries on the planet.
“A new security architecture based on the common economic interest of the world community, which includes the security interest of every single nation. There must be an end to the color revolutions and destabilizations now being orchestrated by the British Empire and its bankrupt financial interests against governments they don’t like—including the destabilizations of the governments of Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin, among others.
“International cooperation for a crash program for thermonuclear fusion technology, international space cooperation for the building of a village on the Moon and a city on Mars, as well as cooperation in life sciences.
“An agreement to initiate a real dialogue of cultures, in which each culture and civilization commits itself to learn about the best traditions and universal contributions of the others as the basis for peace and understanding and a new renaissance of the world.”
