The second panel of the Schiller Institute videoconference, the Third Seminar of Elected and Former Officials organized to stop the danger of nuclear war, brought together former legislators and elected officials from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Guyana, the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago, along with American leaders from various sectors. The conference opened with a clip from President Kennedy on October 26, 1963, honoring the poet Robert Frost, where he underlined the need for artists to have the freedom to criticize conditions in the nation in order to improve them. It was the last major speech the President gave. He was followed by a short clip from Lyndon LaRouche’s “Storm Over Asia” on the real concept of human rights. Former (and current) U.S. Senatorial candidate from New York Diane Sare, contrasted the Kennedy remarks with the real situation in the United States today, where the real crime is not so much “voter suppression” but “candidate suppression.” She contrasted the prevailing attitudes today toward Russia and China with the words of Kennedy in a speech he gave to the United Nations General Assembly in September 1963, a few months before his assassination, in which he laid out guidelines for ending the Cold War.
During the course of the afternoon session, there was a broad-ranging discussion. Much of it was focused on the recent “near-miss” of a nuclear war with the false-flag operation of a missile landing in Poland. María de los Ángeles Huerta, a former congresswoman from Mexico, focused particularly on the sinister role of the media, which like Goebbels’ operations in Nazi Germany, was aimed at convincing the people of the justice of a totally immoral war. Mike Eby, a farmers leader and former dairy farmer from Pennsylvania, went into the situation of the food supply, focusing on the devastating effects of the takeover of agricultural production and marketing by the major grain companies, which are even using the climate hoax to create a new system of speculation based on so-called “carbon credits.” People’s Party chairman Nick Brana, who has joined LaRouche movement organizers in intervening against corrupt, warmongering politicians, argued that humanity is at a crossroads between nuclear self-destruction or a great era of “global abundance,” and American Catholic peace activist Tony Maglioni urged the war must be stopped.
