June 30 EIR: ‘Conflict Is Not the Natural Condition of Men and Nations’

EIR Vol. 50, No. 26 goes to subscribers Thursday, June 29, with the above issue title. The cover photo shows Lyndon LaRouche delivering that address to an EIR seminar in Germany, December 18, 2002.

The Editorial, “Now Even Closer to Nuclear War,” (unsigned, by Marcia Merry Baker), is taken from the lead to EIR’s Daily Alert of June 25.

Section I begins with the press release issued by the second meeting of the International Peace Coalition, June 2.

Then comes, “JFK’s Battle for Peace—From His June 10, 1963 Speech to His Nov. 22, 1963 Assassination,” by Harley Schlanger.

Next is “African Leaders Intervene Into the Ukraine Conflict,” by Daniel Platt.

Closing the Section is this week’s featured work by Lyndon LaRouche: “Conflict Is Not the Natural Condition Among Men and Nations.”

LaRouche: “There is no such thing as a natural, axiomatic human conflict. There are human conflicts, but they are by their nature curable, because there’s always a higher principle, where “as long as we think that we have to—as the Utopians do—set up a system of managed conflict, by which people inside a nation are managed and controlled by outsiders, the kind of mission to which I’m dedicated is in jeopardy.”

Section II, International, begins with a report by Marcia Merry Baker on the dramatic reduction of opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan: “Afghanistan Shuts Down the West’s Opium Fix.”

There follows a China Briefs column.

Section III contains Appreciations of two prominent courageous fighters for a better world, recently deceased: former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame.

Note: EIR will skip the issue which would be dated Friday, July 7. Subscriptions will not be affected.
