A NEW SYSTEM FOR ALL HUMANITY CAN SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS

NATO and other Western elite warmongers continue to reel from the release of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) which, despite its problematic elements, has, in the words of Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “usefully provoked a crisis that was long overdue.”

In her statement, “Withdraw From NATO! New National Security Strategy Requires New Security Architecture,” which is available for circulation and endorsement, Zepp-LaRouche asserts, “Under today’s conditions of a financial meltdown of the Trans-Atlantic system, the new document has created the opportunity for a rational reassessment of one’s own security interests and the redesign of the international security architecture.”

It is only such a redesign of the entire global security architecture that can address any of the seemingly smaller crises—from the collapse of the financial system to the war in Ukraine, to the horrors perpetrated in Gaza. In discussion with colleagues on Wednesday, December 10, Zepp-LaRouche was insistent that there is no piecemeal solution to any of the individual crises, because all is being driven by the collapse and associated desperation, of those committed to the entire unipolar world order.

This desperation continues to be on full display. Former EU Commission President Romano Prodi, in an interview with Rai 3 TV on Wednesday, lamented that in the terms of the U.S. NSS, “NATO is reduced to nothing.” Prodi and his geopolitical cohorts may further unravel when they learn that on Wednesday, December 10; Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill into the U.S. Congress to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, which he called “a Cold War relic,” stating in an announcement of the bill, “NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars.”

More than a relic, NATO, as Zepp-LaRouche more accurately observed, “is no longer an Atlantic defense alliance, but considers itself as the military arm to defend the unipolar world order.”

As if to prove her point, the British Royal Navy’s First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins sputtered on Dec. 8 that Britain must “step up” against the Russian threat, lest it lose “the advantage that we have enjoyed in the Atlantic since the end of the Second World War,” and British retired Rear Admiral Philip Mathias called for Britain to pull out of the AUKUS defense pact so that it could afford to build more nuclear submarines to counter Russia.

The panic from the warmongers at the collapse of their system was noted by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who observed in an address to the Russian Federation Council on December 10 that the system of globalization, as promoted by Western countries, “is fading into oblivion,” and that due to the collapse of the European economies, “apart from robbing Russia and seizing our gold and currency reserves in violation of all conceivable norms of international and commercial law, they have no other sources to fund [the Ukraine] war.”

So where does the solution lie?

“We have reached a point in the universal history of mankind,” Zepp-LaRouche’s statement reads, “where we must leave behind not only half a millennium of colonialism, but also the mindset that led to two world wars in the 20th century: geopolitics. We must leave behind, once and for all, the barbaric idea that we always need an enemy, that man is a wolf to man, as Thomas Hobbes, the ideologist of the British Empire, believed…. We are the only species known in the universe that is endowed with creative reason, and we must now use it by putting the idea of one humanity first as we establish a new order.”
