Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and chairwoman of the Schiller Institute, gave an interview for one hour on Nov. 15 to Nima Alkhorshid, host of the “Dialogue Works” show, originating in Brazil. Alkhorshid focused many of his questions on the political situation in Germany, given Zepp-LaRouche’s role as a significant figure in German politics for many decades, and current status as the lead candidate of the Büso party in the upcoming German elections. But Zepp-LaRouche used comments on the German situation as the springboard to discuss major initiatives worldwide. She drew particular attention to a crash program she said the Schiller Institute is producing, in a matter of two weeks or less, on how Europe and the U.S. can only really solve the migrant/refugee crisis by collaborating with the BRICS nations on major infrastructure projects in Latin America and Africa especially. She cited the Grand Inga Dam and Transacqua projects in Africa, and the opening of the Chancay port in Peru and prospect of building a Bi-Oceanic railroad in South America, as representative of this focus. Similarly, in response to a final question on the Middle East, she stressed the importance of the project of her husband, Lyndon LaRouche, for an “Oasis Plan” to bring such quantities of desalinated water into the region “as to transform the economic character of Southwest Asia completely as the basis for peace.”
“Geopolitics is a disease and should be treated as such,” she stated. “It is a task of our time, to overcome geopolitics, and move to the One Humanity.” She said that Russian President Putin’s recent statement that he envisions a “polyphonic” level of collaboration and interaction among nations, is “fantastic.” She stated, “we are human; we have tremendous things to bring in such a symphony. Diversity is our richness. I have a very deep optimism that that can be accomplished.”
