Schiller Institute Conference: First Day Proceedings

The first panel of the two-day Schiller Institute Conference held today provided a clarion call for the citizens of the world to stand up — to stop the escalating danger that the world is “sleepwalking” into a thermonuclear World War III, and to bring the leaders of the permanent members of the UN Security Council together to address the multi-pronged crisis facing Mankind.

Speakers included a Keynote from Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, addressing the purpose of the Conference and the nature of the crisis, as well as the solution in restoring the original intention of America’s founding fathers and FDR’s intention to end British colonial policies after World War II, which were never realized. Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, warned that the breakdown of arms control agreements endangers the world, but provided an opportunity to achieve something better. Americans Ed Lozansky President of the American University in Moscow, UPI correspondent Martin Sieff, and former Republican Senatorial advisor James Jatras, who have cooperated in exposing the lies of Russiagate against President Donald Trump, addressed the urgency that Trump be re-elected, but that the war party around him be removed. Member of the European Parliament from Italy Marco Zanni spoke on ”Why the EU Must Fail,” demanding a return to sovereign nation states and economies based on the real economy, not on financial bubbles. Retired Col. Richard Black, former head of JAG at the Pentagon, warned that the recent call for a military coup against President Trump by two retired colonels, John Nagl and Paul Yingling, together with the open attacks on the President by retired flag officers such as John Kelly and John Allen constitute breaches of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and should be prosecuted.

The panel concluded with former NSA officials Kirk Wiebe and Bill Binney, who exposed the NSA’s criminal use of programs they themselves designed to find terrorists to instead conduct criminal mass surveillance on American citizens and others. Binney further reviewed his proof that the Russians did not hack into the Democratic Party emails, exposing “Russiagate” as a total fraud.

The second panel, “The Role of Science in Creating Mankind’s Future,” brought scientists from around the world together (virtually) to address the urgent need to end the dangerous green ideology, which threatens a new genocide, and presented the immediate potential for a nuclear-powered Africa, and for fusion power to provide energy for millennia to come, and to fuel rockets to Mars and to other solar systems. Speakers included Dr. Bernard Bigot, the Director-General of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in Cadarache, France; Dr. Stephen O. Dean, President of Fusion Power Associates; Michael Paluszek, President of Princeton Satellite Systems, speaking on Direct Fusion Drive, using fusion for rocket propulsion; Dr. Sergey Pulinets, Principal Research Scientist, Space Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, on the urgency for cooperation in space science; and Dr. Kelvin Kemm, former board chairman, South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, on the urgency for nuclear power to develop Africa.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche concluded the first panel as follows:

“Answering the question from Virginia about how can we get people to look to the stars and elevate themselves above this present degraded culture. And I think this is really the most important question of all, because it is my absolute conviction, that all policies, no matter what they are, flow out of the image of man, which the people have. If you have a degraded image of man, or you think that only some people are belonging to an elite, or others are like cattle who can be diminished, like the helots in Sparta, or the slaves in Rome, then that image of man dictates every aspect of your policy.

“So therefore, I think that we absolutely need, in combination of this P-5 or four major powers summit, no matter which, but we need a summit — what has to be included, absolutely, is a Renaissance of classical culture. This is very important, and I mentioned this already, but I know a lot of Afro-Americans think she is a great star, this Cardi B. But for me, this is the absolute incarnation of slavery, of accepting a degraded state of mind, and what we need instead, and I know people are very peculiar about their taste in music, but we are in the Year of Beethoven, and if you compare that kind of music with the absolute elevating, ennobling spirit of Beethoven and many other classical composers, it should be so obvious that if mankind does not elevate itself now out of this present condition, by going back to the greatest traditions of each culture, I don’t think we will make it.

“On the other side, this great culture is absolutely available, and we will hear tomorrow a beautiful performance of that music, and I would like people to reflect that I absolutely think that we will not solve this problem if we don’t change the way people think. And I agree with Friedrich Schiller, and that’s why the Schiller Institute is named after him, that it does require great classical art to effect the aesthetical education, the moral ennoblement of people. And I can tell you, if you look at the present contemporary people, if we do not improve them morally, If we do nothing, we have a snowflake’s chance in Hell to come out of this crisis. So the question of a culture is the absolute precondition to solve all of these crises.”
