This conference, coming three weeks after the U.S. election, is the time to redefine how the urgent challenges facing humanity can and must be confronted. We must face the absolutely urgent need to turn back the growing famine of “biblical dimensions”—as described by David Beasley, the former Governor of South Carolina and Executive Director of the World Food Program—to save 30 million people from starvation. We must unite to build a world health system, meaning modern health systems in every country on this planet. And we need to finally overcome the underdevelopment of the so-called Third World to eliminate the causes of these catastrophes.
Human history has reached a decisive branching point: The only way to avert our own self extinction in a new world war, is to finally overcome geopolitical confrontation and establish a new paradigm of cooperation, especially among the nuclear powers, for a new international economic and security architecture. We need a new economic platform, using the economic principles made clear by Lyndon LaRouche, which provides the pathway to solutions through the realization of thermonuclear fusion and international cooperation in space. It is also clear, that the human community will only find the moral resources to make the necessary changes if we create a new renaissance of classical culture and a dialogue of these cultures, by bringing out the best that the human species has produced so far, as the basis for a new and better era of mankind.
These are the subjects that will be discussed by outstanding experts from around the world.
