Transition News, a Swiss media outlet run by Thilo Gräser, runs a lengthy and detailed report on the Schiller Institute’s July 12-13 Berlin conference, introduced with the following paragraphs:
“Man Is Not a Wolf to Man”—"This clear statement was the motto of a two-day conference in Berlin on July 12 and 13. The conservative-oriented Schiller Institute had invited numerous interesting international guests. Their contributions and the discussion rounds revolved around the question of what a new paradigm in international relations could look like.
“To be honest, it was an interesting, but also too full program on both days, so I decided to only attend on Saturday [July 12]. It was already quite something, not only in terms of the number of contributions, but also in terms of their content.
“The Schiller Institute, founded by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, is repeatedly attacked and slandered, including as a ‘political sect.’ In my view, it is on the one hand conservative in its basic ideas about a ‘good society’ and is fixated on technology. On the other hand, it is, nevertheless, cosmopolitan and open to other points of view and ideas, which was evident at the conference in Berlin.
“The participants came from several continents, either in person or via video link: Among them were the former Foreign Minister of South Africa Naledi Pandor, (Prof.) Zhang Weiwei from China’s Fudan University, the former high-ranking UN diplomat Hans-Christof von Sponeck from Germany, the Russian political scientist Dmitri Trenin, the legal expert Patrick Lumumba from Kenya, the political scientist Ali Rastbeen from France, the two peace activists and former CIA analysts Elizabeth Murray and Ray McGovern, the physicists Carl-Otto Weiss from Germany and Franco Battaglia from Italy, as well as numerous other experts and scientists.”
In a related development, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who also addressed the Schiller Institute’s Berlin Conference, was interviewed by the Austrian journal, AUF1, visible on Youtube.
