Will The American Elections Find The American People?

“There is a tide in the affairs of men

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat,

And we must take the current when it serves,

Or lose our ventures.”

Shakespeare’s admonition, spoken by Brutus in Act Four, Scene 3 of the play Julius Caesar, well applies to our present world circumstance—with the following caveat. We may not be caught in a mere “tide at the flood.” If we do not soon return sanity to the world stage, we can find ourselves descending, uncontrollably, into a maelstrom. Today’s American elections are potentially momentous—but not because of their importance. They may, in future history, be primarily notable, unless things are rapidly changed, for being the last, or next to last, that this nation will ever see.

Russian economist and academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sergei Glazyev, who lived through the dissolution of the Soviet Union, has observed, in an article published October 27:

“The contemporary world order is undergoing a systemic crisis, driven by the shift in technological and world economic paradigms. Not only is the old architecture of international security collapsing; the economic centers of power, the financial system, the technological leaders, and the very principles of international engagement are all changing. The transition from an imperial to an integral world economic paradigm began with the dissolution of the USSR and is now culminating in the collapse of Pax Americana.”

The title of Glazyev’s article is “Yalta 2.0: Why Russia, the U.S., and China Need to Agree on New Rules for The World Order.” Readers of Executive Intelligence Review and others who are familiar with the Ten Principles for a New Security and Development Architecture written four years ago by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, should read Glazyev’s article thoroughly, and from the perspective of the Zepp-LaRouche document. His is an attempt to describe a possible roadway to sanity, an alternative to the “highway to Hell” on which the Anglosphere and “Global NATO” are presently traveling.

The idea here is not geopolitical advantage—this is not a Yalta seeking to divide the world. The idea here is mutually assured, durable human survival, through the creation of a new security and development architecture. Unlike 1945, China, a civilizational nation, is a technological and economic powerhouse. It is now seeking to assist, using the ideas discussed in President Xi Jinping’s Global Governance Initiative, in bringing about peace in Southwest Asia and the Horn of Africa.

This is not the Russia devastated with 27 million deaths, as at Yalta in 1945. This is also a Russia reconstructed and recovered from being looted and depopulated in the post-Soviet 1990s, now engaged in joint physical economic ventures with the still-financially-colonized Africa. This is a Russia that, contrary to the hostile fantasy-world of the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, Victoria Nuland, Robert Kagan and others, cannot be disintegrated. It successfully made a change, a bootlegger’s turn, with Vladimir Putin’s leadership, starting in the late 1990s. Sergei Glazyev described Russia’s punctum saliens in his book Genocide: Russia and the New World Order:

“Either we passively submit to a suicidal policy of self-destruction and the colonization of Russia, which has been imposed from the outside by deception and graft, or we concentrate the political will of society’s healthy forces on the goal of breaking the tendencies that have been so catastrophic for the country and the Russian people, and move to a scientifically grounded strategy for economic growth, improvement of the people’s welfare, and restoration of the spiritual-intellectual strength and the scientific and technical potential of the Russian state.”

Tucker Carlson on Sunday referred to the possibility of Donald Trump deploying nuclear weapons, perhaps to bomb Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain. His warning concluded, “One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.” By the time you are reading this, before the end, or even the beginning of America’s Election Day, war hostilities with Iran may have resumed.

Yet, there is still, in the West, the moral fitness to survive. We see this reflected, if imperfectly, in the demonstrations and protests that have and are occurring in Spain and France. We have seen it in the election results in Brazil. The trans-Atlantic nations must now make an equally decisive bootlegger’s turn as occurred in 1990s Russia, or plunge the world into the Hell of thermonuclear war, wittingly or not. We must overcome what Pope Leo XIV’s predecessor, Pope St John Paul II described in the 1980s as “the structures of sin,” the 500 years of colonial-imperial rule, much of it dominated by the British East India Company. The upcoming Nov. 18-19 APEC conference, and a Trump-Putin-Xi meeting at such a conference, will be far more likely to succeed, if the American people take the opportunity to do as the Brazilians and Palestinian Israelis have done in the last ten days, and as others have done in the streets of Europe. Follow the lead of LaRouche Independent candidates, such as New York Congressional Candidate Jose Vega, and United States Presidential candidate Diane Sare. Use the elections to send a message to the world: “Not War, But Peace Through Development!”
