This week on the International Peace Coalition, we will have Maoz Inon, internationally recognized Israeli peace activist, who is now on a U.S. speaking tour with fellow Palestinian peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah; Sara Madueño, EIR Lima bureau, will speak on the Pope's visit to Peru; Dr. Seyed Mohammad Marandi (video), Iranian-American academic, intellectual and political analyst, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism, University of Tehran, Iran, former advisor to Iran's Nuclear Negotiation Team; and others to be announced soon.

The transformation taking place in the world today is occurring at a rapid pace, creating conditions for changes that have been out of reach for decades, or even centuries. Such a situation presents us with a mandate to consider the next ten days as a certain precious moment wherein substantial changes can be set into motion.

In a little over a week, the leaders of the United States, Russia, and China are scheduled to sit down together for the first time in modern history.

Consider how much the ground has shifted in only the past two weeks.
In Brazil, President Lula da Silva won the Oct. 25 runoff by a massive 4.4 million votes, defeating Trump darling Flávio Bolsonaro, who had promised to pull Brazil out of BRICS and into the “Shield of the Americas.” Combined with the recent arrest of former Paraguayan President Santiago Peña, an early recruit to that same Shield, this marks a major blow to the Trump administration’s attempt to recolonize the Western Hemisphere. In Israel, President Herzog this weekend formally gave Gadi Eisenkot the mandate to form a new government, likely bringing an end to Bibi Netanyahu’s mass-murderous reign. Then, in the Nov. 3 U.S. midterm elections, American voters delivered a resounding defeat for an administration whose Iran war, failing economy, and Epstein class policies voters rejected. The revolt has also spread beyond partisanship as a groundswell of voters and elected officials alike also challenge the Democratic Party leadership, with over a million signatures on a petition calling for a new Democratic House Speaker.

The real question is, what are the ideas that can unite all of humanity out of this mess? Pope Leo XIV, who is in the middle of his 12-day trip to South America, is taking this up by discussing the concept of the One Humanity and the importance of the dignity of man. We at the International Peace Coalition have continued to discuss the 10 Principles for a New Security and Development Architecture, by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, through which we take up the security and development concerns of every nation, large and small.

These developments underscore the duality facing the world. On one hand, the complete danger of wars spiraling out of control, even up to the use of nuclear weapons, as CENTCOM announced “Task Force Iron Gate” to seal Iran’s land borders on top of the naval blockade and Trump holds the option to resume strikes on Iran. On the other hand, the complete opportunity for change is emerging.
