If I stopped to think about what is going on in each part of the world, I would only have time to cry. Therefore, I have to do something to act.<\/p>Lyndon H. LaROuche Jr. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

April 12\u2014One day before the Schiller Institute\u2019s historic Oasis Plan conference<\/a>, the International Peace Coalition (IPC) convened its 45th consecutive meeting, a remarkable but also crucial accomplishment, given the precarious state of world affairs. A major theme of the meeting was why a new paradigm of peace through development is the only<\/em> means of resolving major geopolitical flash points, which could very quickly ignite World War III\u2014with a particular focus on the Ukraine war, Southwest Asia, and growing tensions in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s featured speakers included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, <\/strong>Founder Schiller Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. George Koo,<\/strong> Retired business consultant specializing in U.S.-China Trade, and Chairman, Burlingame Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rub\u00e9n Guzzetti,<\/strong> Argentine Institute for Geopolitical Studies (IADEG)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coleen Rowley,<\/strong> former FBI special agent and whistleblower<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray McGovern,<\/strong> former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute and co-founder of the IPC, began the proceedings with a strategic briefing on the very dangerous developments concerning the escalating showdown between the U.S.\/UK and their various satellites on one side, and Russia\/China\/Iran on the other. The most \u201cacute and urgent\u201d threat is that of war between Israel and Iran, driven by Israel\u2019s April 1 missile attack against the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria. This could rapidly escalate to global war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zepp-LaRouche called on IPC participants to go all out mobilizing for the Oasis Plan conference, which could not have come at a timelier moment. She said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless we get to what we have been discussing from the very beginning, the new paradigm\u2014where we overcome geopolitics with an architecture for security and development which includes all countries of the planet\u2014the theaters of the potential wars will just shift from one crisis spot to the next\u2026. So that should fuel our efforts to really fight for a peace solution which must be just, for all sides. Because the lesson from the Peace of Westphalia is that unless it is just, and takes into account the interests of all, it cannot work.<\/p>Helga Zepp-larouche <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next speaker, Dr. George Koo, focused on developments in the \u201cPacific arena.\u201d He reported on the very positive development of former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou, who recently visited mainland China with a youth delegation. After an excellent meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Xi said, \u201cAfter all, the future of Taiwan and the mainland will be up to the young generation\u2026. Ma Ying-jeou will be welcome to bring another group anytime.\u201d He contrasted this visit with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen\u2019s recent trip to Beijing, where she criticized China for its \u201covercapacity.\u201d According to Koo, this is an admission by the U.S. that it can no longer compete with China. He warned against the United States using its \u201cloyal lap dogs\u201d\u2014Japan, South Korea and the Philippines\u2014as proxies against China. Like President Putin, President Xi does not bluff and will take active measures to protect China\u2019s national sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rub\u00e9n Guzzetti began his remarks by expressing the IADEG\u2019s full solidarity with the Schiller Institute, and support for its initiatives against the \u201conslaught of Western powers, which is leading us into a dead end.\u201d He then proceeded to report on the history of Western efforts to subjugate the peoples of South America, starting with the 1806\u201307 British invasion and occupation of Buenos Aires. This intensified after World War II with the consolidation of the United States as the \u201cnew Western empire.\u201d Today, the estimate is that the U.S. and UK have 77 military bases in South America. The election of Javier Milei as President of Argentina has further opened the door for U.S.\/NATO subversion of the continent. But the IADEG has a plan to fight this government, and will be holding a national mobilization on May 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coleen Rowley, a former FBI agent, legal expert and whistle blower, reported that she will be participating in the Freedom Flotilla Coalition<\/a>, in which volunteers will be sailing relief ships laden with 5,500 tons of food and medicine to the shores of Gaza to provide aid for the Palestinians. She asked all IPC participants to do everything possible to spread news of the Freedom Flotilla. Even though relief workers have been killed, in the aftermath of the ICJ\u2019s ruling against Israel, maximum publicity surrounding the Flotilla\u2019s mission may succeed in causing Israel to back off. However, in the past, besides outright murder, Israel had taken people engaged in this type of relief effort prisoner, a risk Rowley and her fellow volunteers are willing to take: \u201cIf we can end the siege of Gaza, that could be a first step towards peaceful development in the rest of the world.\u201d Helga Zepp-LaRouche pledged that she would make sure that news of the Flotilla will be circulated every day internationally to focus the eyes of the world on this courageous initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray McGovern, following Rowley, asked : Why does President Joe Biden \u201cinsist on challenging the rest of the world, including two major nuclear powers?\u201d Biden himself answered that question during a recent 60 Minutes<\/em> interview: When asked if he thought it would be unwise to get involved in a two-front war, he said, \u201cWe\u2019re the United States of America\u2014the most powerful country in the history of the world!\u201d\u2014madness, according to McGovern. He asked that everyone hope and pray that his good friend Coleen Rowley and the Flotilla expedition succeed in getting the food and medicine into Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dennis Small of the Schiller Institute opened the discussion with the news flash that the Embassy of South Africa in Mexico had just posted an invitation for the Oasis Plan conference to both their Facebook<\/a> and X<\/a> social media accounts. The Ambassador of South Africa to Mexico, H.E. Beryl Rose Sisulu, will be speaking at the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolivar T\u00e9lles, a leader of the Central American and Caribbean Critical Thought organization in Nicaragua, reported on his nation\u2019s case against Germany before the ICJ, accusing Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention by providing Israel with military support. Germany has emphatically denied these charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zepp-LaRouche referring to the report by T\u00e9lles, characterizing the German government\u2019s harsh rejection of the charges as \u201ctragic.\u201d Germany, she said does not bare sole responsibility for the Holocaust detailing international support for Hitler. \u201cCollective guilt\u201d is being used as a means of manipulating the German people into supporting Israel no matter what. With the growing recognition by the Global South of the genocide against the Palestinians, if Germany, along with the U.S. and EU, continue their support for Israel\u2019s mass murder of civilians, they will be isolated from the rest of the world. This is a tragedy, because a new economic system will not function without the U.S. and Europe: \u201cIt creates the seed of a geopolitical catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be changed, she concluded, \u201cbecause we have the overwhelming majority of the people of the world at our side.\u201d In reference to the Oasis Plan conference, she said it is the \u201cstarting point of a real revolution\u201d to usher in the new era of \u201cpeace through development, because nothing else will solve the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
