For 67 straight weeks, the International Peace Coalition (IPC) has been warning, organizing, and meeting about the overriding and immediate danger of nuclear war facing the entire planet—a danger most painfully visible in the Ukraine and Southwest Asia theaters. For 67 weeks, IPC initiator Helga Zepp-LaRouche has been pointing to the breakdown collapse of the City of London and Wall Street "unipolar" system as the underlying cause of that war danger, and systematically elaborating on the solution to this existential crisis: a new security and development architecture based on the principles underlying the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.
That central issue of nuclear war or peace, which willy-nilly makes it clear that we are One Humanity sharing common interests, has at last erupted significantly on the stage of American politics on the home stretch of the presidential campaign—and not a moment too soon.
Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a campaign town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan on Sept. 17, stated: "To me, we have one major threat: that’s called nuclear weapons… It’s the single biggest threat to the world, not only Michigan, [but] to the world, and you’re not going to care so much about making cars if that starts happening."
Please do not try to brush these warnings aside as partisan, electoral politics.
It is not only Trump who has begun to sound the alarm. On Sept. 13, former Democratic Congressman and current independent congressional candidate Dennis Kucinich stated: "The Biden Administration, using Ukraine as a proxy, is having discussions about whether to precipitate WWIII, enabling Ukraine to have offensive missiles to strike deep inside Russia… [This would] set the stage for what will inevitably be a nuclear exchange with Russia… This is madness. No Administration, Democrat or Republican, has the right to take us into a war which has the capacity to destroy not only our country, but the world."
In the last week, former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and former presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. have also issued warnings about the imminent danger of nuclear war.
Why are the major media not covering these crucial statements—with a few honorable exceptions? Either because they are owned outright by the same global financial interests that are deliberately trying to provoke Russia into a nuclear exchange; or because they are being terrorized into silence and servility by Gestapo-style censorship and threats of imprisonment—or worse—of any who dare speak out.
Some are targeted for assassination, even when they supposedly have Secret Service protection. Others, like Scott Ritter, have their house raided by the FBI under "suspicion" of being an agent of Russian misinformation. Still others, including the Schiller Institute, are placed on the Ukrainian CCD-Molfar-Myrotvorets hitlist and publicized as "information terrorists" who should be "liquidated."
So, whether or not you’ve attended any or all of the last 67 meetings of the IPC, you have to agree that it makes a lot of sense for you to participate in IPC #68.
Join us this Friday at 11am EDT with Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector; Jonathan Kuttab, Co-Founder of Non-violence International and Executive Director of the Palestinian Christian Friends of Sabeel North America; Mossi Raz, former Member of the Knesset, and former Director General of Peace Now; Fernando Garzon, Executive Director of the Ecuadorian-Palestinian Union; university professor and UN consultant
