The Lead
Now, Despite Britain, Will Real History Take the World Stage?

Although there are still tricksters among British intelligence that will madly plot, scheme and scurry on behalf of the British Crown to thwart it, as of this writing, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will be meeting in Alaska, according to a statement from the White House, on next Friday, August 15. Since Trump’s second inauguration in January, there has been an unspoken, but definite commitment on behalf of Britain, its subsidiary European financial-intelligence forces, and their American “Tory” treasonous associates embedded in the intelligence agencies, that under no circumstances must a face-to face meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump be allowed to occur. That, however, is now about to happen.
Even more feared, is a “Big Three” meeting among Presidents Putin, Trump, and Xi Jinping, especially should that occur at the beginning of September, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in the Pacific—what China calls “The Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.” This is an initiative that the Founder and Chairwoman of the Schiller Institute Helga Zepp-LaRouche has contained in a petition which we urge all to sign and circulate now. “If President Xi Jinping would invite President Trump to the military parade scheduled for September 3rd in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, and President Trump would accept the invitation, as President Putin is also expected to be present, the people of the world could find hope that those three leaders would open a new chapter in the history of humanity, “ it says, in part.
The staggering death tolls visited upon the Soviet Union, which lost 27 million people, and China, where, as stated by the website of the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, “The number of civilian deaths in China alone might be well more than 50 million,” and estimates of 30 million deaths are accepted, fill this anniversary in those nations, with a significance that escapes the American mind. China and Russia now has a special unity and bond which cannot be broken, and their and other nations’ economic development—whether through the Belt and Road Initiative, the BRICS nations, or another form—does not threaten the United States. In fact, if the United States returns to its identity as a productive nation, through mining, manufacturing, agriculture, advanced scientific research and development, and the eradication of world poverty, including among more than 100 million of its own population, the world will assist the United States in that task.
In Nagasaki 80 years ago today, August 9, a second atomic bomb was dropped, killing 70,000 people unnecessarily, contrary to what Americans have been taught. According to the July 1, 1946 United States Strategic Bombing Survey, “Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey’s opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated.” Prior to the bomb being used, Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe, opposed it. He wrote that it was “my belief that Japan was already defeated, and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary.”
The only way to atone for such crimes is to stand up before, and failing that, as they are being committed again, as in Gaza. At Friday’s meeting #114 of the International Peace Coalition, Anthony Aguilar, a 25-year combat veteran and a Green Beret, who went to Gaza in May as part of what he thought was a mission to feed people, exposed the truth and did exactly that. “From what I have witnessed, just looking at the facts as they are, there are war crimes being committed in Gaza. There are crimes against humanity being committed in Gaza. If that’s being done intentionally, or just through the mission creep in the fog and friction of war, I don’t know. But I invite the world to investigate and to look at that, because I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, in ending here: A day of atonement, a day of judgment, a day of reckoning is coming…. Now is the time … not next week, not next year, not after. Now is the time for the United States to stand and hold accountable our ally. Because if we do not, the world is going to hold us accountable right alongside them—right alongside Israel—and it will not be to the benefit of Israel, the United States, and, quite frankly, the world.”
What is the idea of humanity that must come to sit upon the throne of our souls, such that these crimes cease forever? “The basic assumption for the new paradigm is that man is fundamentally good and capable to infinitely perfect the creativity of his mind and the beauty of his soul, and being the most advanced geological force in the universe, which proves that the lawfulness of the mind and that of the physical universe are in correspondence and cohesion, and that all evil is the result of a lack of development, and therefore can be overcome.” That is Principle Number 10 of Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s Ten Principles for a New International Security and Development Architecture. Global economic peace through development, and the possibility of collaboration among Russia, the United States, and China in various areas around the world—be it the continent of Africa, the Arctic Ocean, or Southwest Asia, around ideas such as the LaRouche “Oasis Plan”—is the only way to ensure the durable survival of the human race. The stage is now set for such deliberations to begin.
