Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute founder and IPC initiator, told the participants that \u201cit is a great relief that the Memorandum of Understanding has been signed,\u201d but that there are still \u201cmany possible booby traps\u201d that remain. She asked, \u201cWhat will Trump do if Israel does not adhere to the agreement?\u201d She reiterated her proposed solution, that a development strategy centered on the Oasis Plan is required to provide a lasting basis for genuine peace.<\/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=\"Let All Humanity Proclaim: \u201cDevelopment Is the New Name of Peace!\u201d\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2_k-7zowA0E?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\">The neocons\u2019 desired \u201cunipolar world,\u201d dominated by the Anglosphere, has failed, Zepp-LaRouche announced. The nations of the Global South are no longer dependent upon the colonial powers; the rise of China gives them another option for economic ties. \u201cThe Chinese experiment is a wonderful success story,\u201d she said. She placed great importance on Pope Leo XIV\u2019s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, which calls for a \u201ccivilization of love,\u201d and recalled that the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius wrote that \u201cyou can decide to feel love at will.\u201d Zepp-LaRouche has just authored a statement titled \u201cUrgent Appeal from Pope Leo XIV: \u2018Stop! Repent! Before It\u2019s Too Late!\u2019 The New Name for Peace Is Development!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr.\u00a0Abdullah Ahsan <\/strong>is a professor of comparative civilization who has taught in Malaysia and T\u00fcrkiye. He said that after reading the Pope\u2019s statement, we must ask, \u201cIs a civilization of love possible, or not?\u201d Dr.\u00a0Ahsan believes that it is. But there must be trust based on human dignity, and this will not be easily achieved. Israel challenged the MOU within hours by bombing Lebanon. Dr.\u00a0Ahsan also called attention to the mistreatment of the Iranian soccer team, which is competing at the FIFA World Cup tournament in the U.S., but has been forced to leave the country immediately after each match, preventing planned recovery time, and must base itself in Tijuana, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An excerpt was featured from a video interview by EIR\u2019s Gerald Belsky with <strong>Dr.\u00a0Mohammad A. Toor<\/strong>, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Pakistani American Congress, and president of American Pakistani Physicians for Justice and Democracy. He discussed the importance of regional cooperation for economic development in order to create the foundation for peace. He specifically noted the possibility of now extending the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, all the way through Pakistan and even into neighboring India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An Inflection Point for Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luiz Erthal<\/strong>, editor-in-chief of the Brazilian newspaper Toda Palavra, said that the G7 summit \u201cwas an inflection point in Brazilian foreign policy.\u201d He reported that Brazilian President Lula went to the meeting to make it clear to the largest economies of the world that they cannot ignore the development needs of the Global South. He went to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in a defiant, challenging posture, after Trump had endorsed the extreme right-wing candidacy of Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro, whom Trump managed to confuse with his brother, Eduardo, both sons of the jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro. Trump avoided Lula at the conference. Lula made it clear in France that Brazil will not tolerate foreign interference in its internal affairs. He said that Trump talks too much, and now he is going to have to listen. The countries of the Global South will not accept being isolated from China, a country that offers them a real opportunity for economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the question of more humane treatment for migrants, Erthal reported that Brazil has received more than 2 million immigrants, from countries such as Venezuela and Cuba, and is processing a growing number of claims for asylum. \u201cFortunately, Brazil has a welcoming attitude toward these people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LaRouche Organization activist <strong>Tim Rush<\/strong> offered a report from congressional office visits in Washington, D.C., where he and his team spoke on the issue of the attempted merger of the U.S., Israeli and British defense and intelligence establishments. This is the intent of Section 219 of this year\u2019s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). \u201cThis is an arm of something much bigger than Israel per se,\u201d Rush said. The young staffers with whom they met were astonished by the discussion of great infrastructure projects that recall a time in American history of which they were unaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This report was followed by another video excerpt, this time from a <strong>Pakistani TV interview with Helga Zepp-LaRouche<\/strong>. She said that Trump himself had admitted that he had to make peace with Iran in order to avert a global economic calamity. In response to an interviewer\u2019s question, she once again developed the ideas in the extended Oasis Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the conclusion of the presentations, Zepp-LaRouche reminded Americans that $2.2 trillion in taxpayer money was spent on the Afghanistan war, and the results were \u201cpitiful.\u201d A fraction of that money, spent on development, could have turned Afghanistan into a \u201cblossoming nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discussion Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activists from around the planet shared their experiences in organizing for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Steinbach is a veteran anti-nuclear activist and the co-founder of the Hiroshima\/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area. He offered a report on the recent vigil by his organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Spanish Schiller Institute activist reported on a campaign to send letters to every bishop in Spain, recently visited by Pope Leo XIV, in support of the Schiller Institute\u2019s peace proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One participant sent in a question to Luiz Erthal regarding an effective means for combating drug trafficking while also respecting national sovereignty, as opposed to the U.S. approach. Erthal responded that Brazil\u2019s Federal Police have been very effective in combating drugs, and that the U.S. should not use the \u201cWar on Drugs\u201d as a cover for political purposes that violate other countries\u2019 sovereignty. Instead, the U.S. should crack down on money laundering. In his concluding remarks, Erthal saluted the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, which helped to inspire Brazilian independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her concluding remarks, Zepp-LaRouche replied to a German participant who had referred to a divergence between technological advance and moral development in nations. She recalled the contributions of space pioneer Krafft Ehricke, who had served on the board of the Schiller Institute, and emphasized the importance of Schiller\u2019s concept of Aesthetical Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She went on to contrast her late husband\u2019s real-time assessment of the 9\/11 attacks as having an \u201cinside job\u201d component, to recent statements by Palantir Technologies co-founder Peter Thiel, who praised the 9\/11 catastrophe as a \u201cStraussian moment,\u201d a reference to Thiel\u2019s 2003 essay by that name. Thiel insists that such \u201cmoments\u201d represent a transitional phase where Western elites may use covert power to manage the world. As Zepp-LaRouche put it, they seek continual crises, which they exploit to stay in control. This defines the method of our opponents, which is necessary to understand in our campaign for lasting peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 19, 2026 (EIRNS)\u2014The 159th consecutive weekly online meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) took place at the end of an historic week, two days after the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran had been signed.
