The President of China yesterday sent the President of Russia a message on the occasion of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, which marked the defeat of the scourge of fascism, in which he pledged to “resolutely safeguard the victory of the Second World War” against those who would roll it back today. President Xi Jinping also urged the entire international community to join China and Russia in promoting “the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, so as to allow future generations to enjoy a world featuring lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity.”

These laudable goals for all Mankind — peace, security, prosperity — closely echo FDR’s memorable Four Freedoms proclaimed in 1941, which he too demanded be achieved “everywhere in the world.”

But how can this be done, with the world at the proverbial one minute to midnight? When strings of U.S. and NATO military provocations against China and Russia could tip over into actual warfare in the blink of an eye? When British marionette Mike Pompeo, in theatrical high dudgeon, is trying to ram through a full economic decoupling between the U.S. and China, and the dismantling of the Belt and Road Initiative? When the COVID pandemic continues its deadly march across the planet? When President Donald Trump, and in fact the U.S Constitutional system itself, remain in the cross-hairs of a British-run coup?

“We must start from a clear conception of the level on which there is a way out of this,” Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche stated on Sept. 1, “and that is the level of Lyndon LaRouche’s solutions, which he developed over the last half-century.” That approach will guide the deliberations of this weekend’s Schiller Institute conference. With its prominent speakers from around the world, Zepp-LaRouche said, that gathering “is right now an extremely important platform to change the agenda before the world from extreme confrontation, to hopefully get enough forces to understand, that if this continues, we are heading towards war; and that we need to replace that kind of an approach with dialogue, conversation, and cooperation, leading to the implementation of Lyndon LaRouche’s policies.”
