After Trump twice used negotiations as a pretext to prepare for an attack, there is little trust in his proclamations. Up to 7,000 additional U.S. troops will soon be in the region, indicating a possible ground invasion and a massive escalation of the conflict. The \u201cdecapitation\u201d strategy has failed; the Iranian government remains firmly in control. Countries around the world are affected by skyrocketing oil prices, as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. Ambassador Abolfazl Pasandideh, who represents the Islamic Republic of Iran in Mexico, has proposed in a recent presentation to the IPC to return to the idea of a <a href=\"https:\/\/larouchepub.com\/eiw\/public\/2000\/eirv27n27-20000707\/eirv27n27-20000707_040-iranian_presidents_visit_to_chin.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dialogue of civilizations<\/a>. This was counterposed to Samuel Huntington\u2019s clash of civilizations, which proposed Islam as a new enemy image to replace communism after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This is the Moral Test of Humanity \u2014 IPC Meeting #147\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y4z4YFSy84g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche called attention to an extended <a href=\"\/?page_id=107685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oasis Plan<\/a>, proposed not just for Israel and Palestine, but for the region as a whole, and for the benefit of the many nations from Afghanistan on the east to Africa on the west which have been devastated by neocon operations over the past 25 years. The region can once again become the hub between three continents, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domestically, \u201cTrump is confronted with a complete crumbling of support inside the United States,\u201d noted Zepp-LaRouche. There is a wide discrepancy between what the public was given as the reason for this war against Iran and what members of Congress are being told in briefings. Spain\u2019s Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez is a shining example of a European statesman with the courage to oppose the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant (ret.) Dennis Fritz of the Eisenhower Media Network observed that we keep hearing that this war started in 1979, but it actually started in 1953 with the coup against Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. We also supported Iraq in the Iraq-Iran War. The United States and Israel are the greatest sponsors of terrorism, said Fritz. We attacked Iran in the midst of negotiations twice. Does Iran have the right to defend itself? They will never give up ballistic missiles, because those are the basis for Iran\u2019s national security. Iran warned us that they would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fritz then introduced the next speaker, U.S. Marine Corps veteran Brian McGinnis, saying that \u201cthey thanked him for his service by breaking his arm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGinnis is a retired Marine and&nbsp;current Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, who had his arm broken by U.S. Capitol Police and Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy as they attempted to forcibly remove him from a recent congressional hearing. He said he was honored to be introduced by Fritz. McGinnis went on to say that money laundering has been intrinsic to the wars of the past 25 years. He urged that we continue to expose the \u201cGreater Israel\u201d project. \u201cOur government is leading us in a direction that is sacrificing our moral high ground,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2018Pangs of Conscience\u2019 Will Haunt Their Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche responded by expressing her \u201cdeep, heartfelt gratitude\u201d to Fritz and McGinnis. Co-moderator Dennis Speed reported that other people from the military who are candidates for office in the United States are saying that they refuse to be associated with the administration\u2019s criminal policies. \u201cThis may be the fastest way to send up an S.O.S. to the rest of the world,\u201d she said. Moderator Anastasia Battle added that whistleblower Lt. Col. (ret.) Anthony Aguilar, U.S. Army, had said that the girls\u2019 school in Minab, Iran, was targeted intentionally for a missile attack, to harm the morale of the girls\u2019 parents, many of whom are Iranian government officials. Fritz said that our military is imitating the policies of the Israel Defense Forces, and our Secretary of Defense is encouraging our troops to violate the basic rules of war. They will live with this for the rest of their lives, afflicted with PTSD in addition to their pangs of conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul Gallagher,&nbsp;co-editor of <em>Executive Intelligence Review<\/em> (<em>EIR<\/em>), had sent a video message in which he reported on how he is investigating the request by the Trump administration for an additional $200-$250 billion for the Iran war. The persistent decline in U.S. manufacturing productivity is to be corrected by a huge slush fund for military production. The plan is being run by 30 top investment bankers, who are being paid salaries of $300,000-$500,000 a year. We now have a military-industrial-financial complex, indeed, said Gallagher, but this has little to do with the Iran War; it is intended instead to produce new \u201cWar Unicorn\u201d companies for new \u201ckill technologies\u201d toward eventually confronting China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eduardo Gabriel Fern\u00e1ndez is a\u00a0graduate of the Advanced Course in National Defense and a member of the General Jorge Edgar Leal Observatory on Argentine Sovereignty. He reported that the current government of Argentina is reviving the policies of the military dictatorship which ruled from 1976 to 1983\u2014after the overthrow of President Isabel Per\u00f3n\u2019s government, a trend which is being protested in the streets by the people of Argentina. He is circulating among bishops in Argentina Zepp-LaRouche\u2019s <a href=\"\/?p=115190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open letter<\/a> calling on Pope Leo XIV to intervene on the level of the 15th-Century\u2019s Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, and one of them has agreed to present it to the entire Bishops\u2019 Conference there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schiller Institute organizer Tim Rush offered areport on organizing by citizen activists, who visited 390 offices at the U.S. Congress. Congressmen are conditioned to discuss issues in a binary for-or-against fashion, and they are unprepared for the IPC\u2019s approach of posing solutions which lift the discussion to a higher vantage point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An Appeal to the Human Soul<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche expressed the hope that our appeal to the human soul can become stronger than the war machine. \u201cI believe that the true nature of man is beautiful, is positive,\u201d she said, and reminded the participants that a nuclear war would not merely annihilate the presently living generations, but also all the scientific and cultural achievements of all the prior generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dennis Fritz agreed with Zepp-LaRouche that it is the economic success of China, based on the successful application of the policies advocated by Alexander Hamilton, that has made them into an adversary in the eyes of our present political leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche described how Nicholas of Cusa was conscious of the fact that he had found a unique and unprecedented mode of thinking: humans, in the image of the Creator, can resolve conflicts by ascending to a higher level of reason than the level which gave rise to the conflict. Pope Leo XIV has called attention to this as well. She contrasted this to the Jeffrey Epstein Class, comprising people who feel that there are no limits or constraints on their power, whose lusts become increasingly perverse. These are not happy people; they have lost their souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brian McGinnis described as \u201criveting\u201d the idea that the United States could pivot away from the destruction in the Middle East, to the regional development and \u201cgreening of the desert\u201d promised by the Oasis Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dennis Fritz indicted the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) for being the impetus for the wars against both Iraq and Iran. He praised the interventions of Jose Vega, an independent candidate for Congress from New York\u2019s 15th District in the South Bronx, and Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the anti-war organization CODEPINK; he said that the latter had \u201cbeaten down Cory Booker [U.S. Senator from New Jersey] so bad\u201d that he will no longer accept money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche concluded by saying, \u201cThe issue of the One Humanity has to become our battle cry.\u201d Trump, if he is to be believed, has announced in his latest ultimatum that April 6 is his new deadline for capitulation by Iran, and we have chosen that date for our next EIR Emergency Roundtable online event. She asked all participants to please work to maximize worldwide participation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Peace Coalition, Week 147 by EIR Staff March 27\u2014The 147th consecutive weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) commenced with a tour d\u2019horizon by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and International Peace Coalition initiator. \u201cThe situation is still one of utmost suspense,\u201d she said, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump has twice delayed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":115645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-115644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115644"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115658,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115644\/revisions\/115658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
