The International Peace Coalition weekly meeting July 12, the 58th week, reviewed the NATO summit, which Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute leader, characterized as “incredibly bellicose.” She said that the NATO leaders are, in effect, declaring democracy to be outmoded, and creating mechanisms to lock in place the war drive indefinitely.
The article on the Schiller Institute site by Daniel Platt reviews the presentations and discussion. Graham Fuller, former U.S. diplomat, CIA official, and Islamic scholar, described the NATO Summit as a “shell of bravado.” Other speakers included Luis Bernardo Diaz, Dean of the Law Faculty at the Pedagogical University of Tunja in Colombia, and activist from France, Etienne Dreyfus, who showed video clips of interventions.
Col. Richard H. Black (ret.), a former State Senator from Virginia, and former head of the U.S. Army’s Criminal Law Division at the Pentagon, said that “NATO has become this hyper-aggressive, predatory force.” Dr. Laszlo Ungvari, a Hungarian scholar, spoke, who is President emeritus of the Wildau University of Technology in Germany.
