Imperial and geopolitical wars, and other such wasteful things were rightly seen as distractions from the true mission of government\u2014to advance their nation and their people toward a better future.<\/p>\n<p>The case of Germany has perhaps been the most extreme. It has turned from the world\u2019s most advanced industrial power during the middle of the last century to a shadow of its former self after having shut down its nuclear power plants and its access to Russian gas and oil. Obediently, Germany has found itself more loyal to the dictates of the \u201crules-based order\u201d and \u201cgoing green\u201d\u2014some of the murmurings of the blob\u2014even while its own people suffer as a result. This reached the height of absurdity when the Anglo-Americans blew up the Nord Stream pipelines on September 26, 2022, severing for good one of Germany\u2019s most important energy lifelines from Russia they had spent years and billions of dollars building. This was made all the more embarrassing when President Biden admitted to Chancellor Scholz\u2019s face that he would, in fact, \u201cbring an end to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Germany is today, along with most of the Western \u201cdemocracies,\u201d plunging headlong into a thermonuclear world war against Russia and China, and lining up for a case of criminal complicity in the genocide of Gaza\u2014all while going bankrupt paying for it. And thanks to the Nord Stream bombing\u2019s effects on energy prices and the overall commitment to \u201cgreen\u201d policies, Germany\u2019s food producers have reached a point where they can no longer survive. All this, and not a peep in opposition.<\/p>\n<p>It is in this context that one must see this week\u2019s outbreak of nationwide demonstrations in Germany. It is not a protest against fuel subsidies or taxes, nor is it an outburst of right-wing extremist anger. A revolt is beginning, and in this case the protesters are being joined by other producers from across Europe to demand better\u2014to demand a future.<\/p>\n<p>In discussion with associates today, <strong>Helga Zepp-LaRouche<\/strong> insisted that this event i<em>s \u201cAn unbelievably important invent in Germany because it was stated very clearly by several of the farm leaders that they took the courage to step forward, to defend the interest of not only the farmers but all of Germany from the government, which many of them characterized as total junk \u2026 and now many voices are pointing to how the entire farm policy is not made by the government but by Silicon Valley, Wall Street, BlackRock, and the international cartels. So I\u2019m pretty sure that the lasting impact will be that the naivety which they tried to artificially create as a parallel reality through the mainstream media, this has received a permanent crack. And whatever the government is going to do \u2026 it will not go away\u2026.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the current dynamic of the BRICS-Plus sweeping the world, and now the upcoming battle at the International Court of Justice brought by South Africa\u2014at which not only Israel but also the blob-like complicity of the entire Western world will be on trial\u2014all in the context of the recent massive eruption of protests across the world in solidarity with Palestine and against the policy of endless war, the opportunity for a breakthrough becomes obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <strong>Zepp-LaRouche<\/strong> concluded, it is urgent to push for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the full implementation of a two-state solution along with the Oasis Plan for lasting economic development in the region. <em>\u201cBut at the same time, it is clear we need an even more general approach, which has to be a New International Security and Development Architecture, because this geopolitical conflict has to be overcome by changing geopolitical confrontation to instead cooperation between the countries of the Global North and the countries of the Global Majority.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Join Helga Zepp-LaRouche in her Weekly Live dialogue Jan. 10, 11am EDT\/5pm CET and help usher in the Year of the New Paradigm for all Humanity.
