Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder, opened the session, saying, \u201cThere are many people who are acutely aware that the world has never been so close to extinction.\u201d The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unnecessary because Emperor Hirohito was already negotiating for peace through the Vatican. This was a demonstration of&nbsp;<em>Schrecklichkeit<\/em>&nbsp;(terror). If the proposed Putin-Trump meeting takes place, it will be the \u201cnecessary signal\u201d that nuclear war can be avoided. On the economic war front, Trump\u2019s tariffs are targeting all the BRICS nations, and may inadvertently trigger the de-dollarization which Trump claims to wish to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/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=\"IPC #114: Hiroshima and Gaza \u2014 Never Again!\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5U3v4mX1_9o?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\">Co-moderator Dennis Speed cited the 1946 Strategic Bombing Survey\u2019s official opinion that Japan would have surrendered, even if there were no atomic bombs, no entry of Russia into the war, no invasion. Why do most Americans today still believe the opposite? Why is this not known now, or taught in American universities and schools, 80 years after the events?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), said that the \u201coverweening objective of the Russians\u201d has been to restore normal relations with the U.S. The recent meeting with Witkoff was constructive, and \u201cWitkoff is about ten times smarter, in my view, than Marco Rubio,\u201d he said, citing Russian presidential aide for foreign policy Yury Ushakov: Trump was backed into a corner with his threat of an Aug.&nbsp;8 sanctions deadline, and a summit with Putin offers him a way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGovern also asserted that there is \u201cmore than an even chance that Netanyahu has Epstein-type blackmail on our President.\u201d If Israel attacks Iran again, Iran is capable of defending itself. Would Netanyahu,&nbsp;<em>in extremis<\/em>, resort to nuclear weapons? This is a man who uses genocide to try to defend himself from criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel and Green Beret, worked as a security subcontractor for the Israeli and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), tasked with delivering aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave. Aguilar said that he doesn\u2019t use the term \u201cwar crimes\u201d lightly; he is referring to international agreements to which the U.S. and Israel are signatories. \u201cWe are violating those every day.\u201d He described an \u201cactive campaign\u201d to dehumanize the Palestinians, putting them in a position where they are \u201cliterally begging for food\u201d and then must fight for it at distribution sites. The United States is absolutely complicit in all of this. Attempting a military defeat of Hamas is \u201ca fool\u2019s errand,\u201d he said. Full occupation of Gaza will lead to \u201cmuch, much more death\u2026. If Israel continues down this path \u2026 they are only going to harm their position on the world stage\u2026. A day of atonement, a day of judgment, a day of reckoning is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGovern responded, \u201cColonel Aguilar is the epitome of what a U.S. Army officer used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve Starr, former director of the University of Missouri Clinical Laboratory Science program, stated that the Ukraine conflict has evolved into a hybrid form of World War III. The war would have ended in a few weeks if the U.S. (and Great Britain)had not moved in and torpedoed the talks in April of 2022. Germany is on the verge of providing Taurus missiles, which will be operated by Germans and guided by U.S. targeting data. Russian strategic sites have been targeted, and there was an attempted assassination of Putin in his helicopter, guided by U.S. targeting data. What would the U.S. do if such attacks were made on the U.S.? There are 51 new U.S. bases being established in Scandinavia, and the U.S. has abrogated almost every arms control treaty that we had. We have sent nuclear gravity bombs to the U.K. in the last month. \u201cWhat does that tell Russia?\u201d If the START treaty is not renewed, Ohio-class subs will be rapidly loaded with additional nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eduardo Siqueira, Brazilian researcher and analyst, and a professor emeritus of public health at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, warned that the U.S. is violating Brazil\u2019s sovereignty, to punish Brazil for acting against those who attempted a coup there. A network of \u201cthe international extreme right\u201d is operating, and it has backfired, causing \u201ca significant unity of the Brazilian people\u201d against the sanctions. \u201cThe United States wants to be the sole power in the world \u2026 the perception of the United States is definitely becoming much more negative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>VIPS Members Review Their Groundbreaking Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">William Binney is a 32-year National Security Agency (NSA) veteran, former technical director, NSA Whistleblower, and member of VIPS. He reviewed the 2016 study by VIPS which demonstrated that the DNC emails were extracted by a \u201cleak, not a hack,\u201d and said that this was \u201cprovable in a court of law.\u201d Ray McGovern added that the head of CrowdStrike, under oath, admitted in 2017 that there was no technical evidence of any exfiltration. Adam Schiff hid this for two years, and after it was released, the media refused to cover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dennis Speed urged participants to read the Schiller Institute\u2019s newly released<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White Paper, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laroucheorganization.com\/worse_than_treason_the_motive_behind_russiagate\">Worse Than Treason: The Actual Motive Behind Russiagate<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirk Wiebe is a retired analyst and whistleblower at the National Security Agency, and VIPS member. He concurred that Putin is sending a signal to Trump that he is willing to talk, and \u201cthis is a moment to seize.\u201d He discussed the policy of mass surveillance of Americans, initially launched by Gen.&nbsp;Michael Hayden: Why did they get Britain\u2019s GCHQ involved? Because NSA can\u2019t spy on Americans without a court order, so the British do it for them. Palantir has concluded an agreement with the government to sell personal data from all your digital devices, a combination which will be \u201cthe largest surveillance weapon ever devised by mankind.\u201d Congressional oversight is minimal, \u201ca wink and a shake of the hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche responded, saying that the common thread here is the dehumanization of people who are designated as \u201cthe enemy.\u201d What is required is \u201can urgent, urgent change in what is called the image of man,\u201d one that holds that \u201cevery human being on the planet is as human as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGovern noted that the mainstream media are refusing to report the evidence revealed by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. The&nbsp;<em>New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;claims that those who do talk about it are relying on Russian disinformation, because the emails were made public by Russia. But if one doesn\u2019t trust the Russians, why not ask the NSA? It has all the same material. In concluding remarks, he said that we must distinguish between what Trump is trying to do in Ukraine, which is constructive, and his destructive support for Israeli genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zepp-LaRouche said that this week\u2019s IPC discussion shows that we are in a pivotal moment, and we must get active. The world situation is complex; Trump does not know that the biggest threat of de-dollarization is cryptocurrency and stablecoins. She asked everyone to sign the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com\/appeal_to_trump_putin_xi\">petition<\/a>&nbsp;calling for Putin, Trump, and Xi to meet in Beijing. The world\u2019s problems are solvable if we have an attitude of cooperation, for a solution without catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-moderator Dennis Small added that the intention behind Russiagate was to stop precisely the sort of meeting that Trump and Putin are about to have, and to stop the paradigm shift represented by the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/?p=93184\">Ten Principles of a New International Security and Development Architecture<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aug.&nbsp;8, 2025 (EIRNS)\u2014The 114th consecutive weekly meeting of the International Peace Coalition took place on Aug.&nbsp;8, eighty years after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
