Speed reminded the audience of the significance of December 7 for the United States\u2014Pearl Harbor Day\u2014invoking the profound transformations wrought by past conflicts and suggesting a parallel with today\u2019s dangerous global escalation.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">All Men Become Brethren!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SchillerInst?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SchillerInst<\/a> International Online Conference<br \/>December 7-8, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Registration link in \ud83e\uddf5<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The previously dominant unipolar world has crumbled, and the effort to prevent a multipolar world from establishing itself is futile.

Freeman, Jr., former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense; and Donald Ramotar, former President of Guyana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keynote by Helga Zepp-LaRouche: A choice of paradigms<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helga Zepp-LaRouche set the tone: \u201cWe are coming together in an extremely dangerous moment,\u201d she said, \u201cone that may be even more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis.\u201d She warned that the global strategic environment, marked by NATO\u2019s expansion and the ongoing war in Ukraine, has created a climate in which nuclear weapons could be used again, possibly ending human civilization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepp-LaRouche challenged the prevalent assumption that financial and geopolitical constructs must be maintained at all costs. She recalled the late economist Lyndon LaRouche\u2019s insistence that \u201cmoney is not value,\u201d arguing that the physical economy\u2014productivity, technological progress, and infrastructure\u2014must guide policy. She called for a return to the principles of the Peace of Westphalia (1648), urging major powers to cast aside revenge and geopolitics, and instead embrace cooperation for mutual development. \u201cIt is urgent,\u201d she said, \u201cthat we establish a new security and development architecture, a paradigm that meets the interests of all nations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dmitri Trenin: Rejecting the old Cold War frame<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Moscow, Professor Dmitri Trenin offered a Russian perspective on the evolving crisis. \u201cWe are not in Cold War II,\u201d he insisted. \u201cThe analogy is wrong.\u201d Trenin stressed that today\u2019s world is far more complex, with multiple power centers and no functioning arms control mechanisms. He warned that the old tools that kept the Cold War \u2018cold\u2019\u2014communication channels, treaties, and a shared fear of nuclear weapons\u2014have eroded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trenin pointed out that globalization under Western rules is over. The world, he said, is becoming truly multipolar, with regionalism on the rise. He cautioned the United States against attempting to preserve its hegemony at all costs, noting that \u201cattempts to salvage [unipolar dominance] are as dangerous as they are futile.\u201d He urged Washington to learn the lesson the Soviet Union once did: overextension leads to collapse. Now, it is time for nations to realign their priorities, focusing on domestic economic health rather than a vain bid for global supremacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Voices from the Global South<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former President Donald Ramotar of Guyana spoke forcefully about the global inequalities driving conflict. He noted that in recent years, the Global South\u2014representing the majority of humanity\u2014has begun to straighten its back and assert its interests. Ramotar criticized policies that keep developing countries locked in poverty and underdevelopment. \u201cThe transatlantic powers have made humongous profits from wars,\u201d he said, calling these conflicts \u201cwars for profit\u201d that enrich weapon manufacturers and financiers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramotar praised China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative and cooperation with the Global South as a model of \u201cwin-win\u201d relations that uplift entire regions. He contrasted this with the IMF and World Bank\u2019s conditionalities that perpetuate underdevelopment. \u201cIf the West joined in some of these initiatives,\u201d Ramotar concluded, \u201cwe might end poverty in our lifetime.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>J\u00e1n \u010carnogursk\u00fd: A European perspective<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slovakia\u2019s former Prime Minister J\u00e1n \u010carnogursk\u00fd delivered a stark evaluation of European policy. He recalled that in the early 1990s, promises were made not to expand NATO eastward; these were broken. He criticized the West\u2019s reneging on the Minsk Accords, drawing parallels with the deceitful handling of the Yugoslav crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u010carnogursk\u00fd questioned who truly leads U.S. policy and lamented Europe\u2019s subservience to Washington and London. He noted that European states are suffering under U.S.-imposed policies, losing industries to American soil. Stressing that Russia has no interest in marching west, \u010carnogursk\u00fd argued that the Ukraine war should end in negotiations, not endless escalation. \u201cIf the West lost the war in Ukraine,\u201d he said, \u201cit might simplify problems\u201d and pave the way for stable peace negotiations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr.: Diplomacy abandoned<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambassador Chas Freeman, a seasoned American diplomat, reminded the audience of the dangers of nuclear brinkmanship. \u201cThe humane world order after World War II has expired,\u201d Freeman said. Now, egregious violations of international law occur with impunity. He pointed to the absence of meaningful diplomacy, noting that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had not once visited Moscow, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has not been welcomed in Washington for years. \u201cThere are no functioning arms control agreements,\u201d he warned, \u201cand no communication lines.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freeman highlighted the urgent need for an Austrian-style solution in Ukraine, referring to the 1955 Austrian State Treaty which established that country\u2019s permanent neutrality. \u201cSuch a Ukraine,\u201d he said, \u201ccould serve as a buffer and a bridge,\u201d ensuring Russia\u2019s security concerns are met while guaranteeing Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and prosperity. \u201cDiplomacy must replace demonization,\u201d Freeman concluded, \u201cor we face a nuclear Armageddon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ambassador Hossein Mousavian: Iran and the nuclear dilemma<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambassador Hossein Mousavian of Iran brought the Middle East dimension into view. The crisis over Iran\u2019s nuclear program, he said, points to the urgent need for a region-wide approach. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), abandoned by the U.S. under President Trump, had established robust verification measures ensuring no Iranian nuclear weapon would emerge. Mousavian argued for expanding these principles regionally, applying similar restrictions and verifications across the Middle East, including Israel, to achieve a region free of weapons of mass destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is a solution,\u201d Mousavian maintained. \u201cWe can have permanent restrictions if all parties agree to uniform standards.\u201d He suggested that if Iran\u2019s neighbors like Saudi Arabia also accept rigorous inspections, everyone would gain security and stability. This approach, Mousavian said, could become \u201cthe best objective guarantee\u201d against nuclear proliferation in the entire region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Professor Zhang Weiwei: Asia\u2019s peaceful development model<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From China, Professor Zhang Weiwei of Fudan University noted that while Europe slides into lose-lose scenarios, the China-ASEAN region has achieved a remarkable \u201cwin-win\u201d story. He credited Asia\u2019s success to its focus on development, infrastructure, and respect for civilizational diversity. \u201cChina and ASEAN have enjoyed peace and prosperity for nearly five decades,\u201d he said, pointing to the emphasis on building roads, railways, and ports\u2014trademark features of the Belt and Road Initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang contrasted this development-oriented model with the West\u2019s approach, which he described as zero-sum. \u201cChina stands for unity and mutual benefit,\u201d he said, \u201cnot divide and rule.\u201d He recalled the influence of Chinese strategic culture, including Sun Tzu\u2019s ancient wisdom, which emphasizes achieving goals without resorting to war. \u201cThe solution to Europe\u2019s problem is clear\u2014join in the Belt and Road Initiative, invest in infrastructure, and build a community of shared destiny,\u201d he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson: From the Pentagon\u2019s perspective<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retired U.S. Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, spoke bluntly: \u201cThe U.S. today is fighting the inevitable shift of global power back to the East,\u201d he said. Wilkerson criticized what he called \u201cthe empire\u2019s example\u201d: an American foreign policy trapped in arrogance and ignorance of history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilkerson warned that if a conventional conflict escalated between the U.S. and Russia or China, the United States might quickly find itself losing badly and thus tempted to use nuclear weapons first. \u201cWe are so broken conventionally,\u201d Wilkerson said, \u201cwe might be the first to use nuclear arms because we\u2019d be taking horrendous casualties.\u201d He stressed that any nuclear exchange would end civilization. The solution? End the empire logic, he urged. Seek balanced and rational diplomacy while we still can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Scott Ritter: The unthinkable becomes probable<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter, in a pre-recorded statement, underscored the grim reality: \u201cToday\u2019s situation is more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis because there is no communication,\u201d he said. Ritter warned that the U.S. provisioning of advanced missiles to Ukraine and talk of a \u2018limited\u2019 nuclear war by some U.S. strategists is gambling with planetary survival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ritter pinned hopes on a diplomatic shift with the incoming U.S. administration. \u201cWe must help ourselves by helping Russia understand that these reckless policies will not continue,\u201d he said. In other words, a strategic reset is urgently needed. If not, the world might stumble into nuclear war by miscalculation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Proposed solutions<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the session, panelists offered concrete proposals. Helga Zepp-LaRouche suggested reviving the spirit of Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s Bretton Woods, focusing on global development and infrastructure rather than financial speculation. She also recalled Lyndon LaRouche\u2019s old proposal of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), not as a weapons scheme, but as a joint effort by major powers to make nuclear weapons technologically obsolete through new physical principles and massive scientific cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dmitri Trenin and Chas Freeman both stressed diplomatic channels. Trenin called for a return to stable negotiations on arms control. Freeman recommended a European security architecture that includes Russia and respects its interests. Both noted that genuine dialogue, free from demonization, is the only realistic path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donald Ramotar and Professor Zhang Weiwei pointed to economic development as a peace strategy. The Belt and Road Initiative\u2019s \u201cwin-win\u201d framework can uplift the Global South and transform war-torn regions into hubs of commerce. Economic corridors might replace battlefields if the West abandoned zero-sum thinking and joined cooperative ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J\u00e1n \u010carnogursk\u00fd and Hossein Mousavian highlighted specific frameworks, such as making Ukraine a neutral state and building a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction. \u010carnogursk\u00fd\u2019s reference to the 1955 Austrian State Treaty and Mousavian\u2019s concept of region-wide nuclear verification both illustrate how carefully crafted treaties can diffuse tension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Larry Wilkerson and Scott Ritter underscored the urgency. Without a massive shift in U.S. strategic thinking\u2014from seeking hegemony to embracing multipolarity\u2014the world risks stumbling into global conflict. They urged immediate steps: cease unrealistic objectives like \u201cstrategic defeat\u201d of nuclear-armed adversaries, open channels of communication, and reduce the risk of accidental nuclear war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A call for a cultural shift<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recurring theme was the idea that cultural values must underpin policy shifts. The conference\u2019s motto, \u201cIn the Spirit of Schiller and Beethoven: All Men Become Brethren,\u201d evoked the notion that moral uplift and aesthetic education could guide politics. Zepp-LaRouche invoked classical composers and poets to stress that universal human values transcend power politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Schiller Institute\u2019s emphasis on great art, classical music, and poetic drama is not ornamental. As Zepp-LaRouche reminded participants, Schiller believed in improving citizens through culture, enabling them to think of humanity as one family. Beethoven\u2019s \u201cOde to Joy\u201d from the Ninth Symphony embodies the ideal of universal brotherhood\u2014an ethical vision that stands in stark contrast to nuclear brinkmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panelists agreed: to avoid catastrophe, citizens must pressure their governments to return to reason, respect international law, and prioritize human development. Helga Zepp-LaRouche urged that the ten principles her Institute has advocated\u2014centered on sovereignty, development, and the common aims of humanity\u2014be taken up widely. She called on people worldwide to reject the Carl Schmitt-type friend-enemy distinctions and adopt a principle of the \u201cOne Humanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the words of Naledi Pandor, who was unable to speak fully at this panel but whose excerpted statements were acknowledged, \u201cBRICS and the Global South can forge a more just multipolar order.\u201d As developing nations rise, they demand a seat at the table. This could be the key: integrating new powers into a cooperative framework for security and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A last chance for humanity?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The grim warnings of these statesmen, diplomats, and scholars spoke to a moment of profound danger. Nuclear arsenals loom, conflicts rage without dialogue, and powerful states push brinkmanship to extremes. Yet, the panel also projected a sense of hope. A new paradigm\u2014one that rejects zero-sum geopolitics and embraces mutual respect, economic cooperation, and cultural renaissance\u2014was the through line connecting all speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have a choice,\u201d Helga Zepp-LaRouche concluded. \u201cEither we continue down the path to a final world war, or we rise to the occasion and build a new paradigm of the One Humanity. Let\u2019s choose life, not death.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 7-8, 2024, the Schiller Institute, founded by Helga Zepp-LaRouche 40 years ago, convened a two-day international conference titled, \u201cIn the Spirit of Schiller and Beethoven: All Men Become Brethren!\u201d The event brought together a remarkable panel of diplomats, former heads of state, prominent scholars, and defense experts to address what they termed the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[2285,788,4164,1295,4166,503,4162,4165,207,683,4163,4168,822,4167],"class_list":["post-6603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diplomacy","tag-belt-and-road-initiative-bri","tag-cold-war","tag-dmitri-trenin","tag-global-south","tag-has-w-freeman","tag-headline","tag-helga-zepp-larouche","tag-jan-carnogursky","tag-nato","tag-russia","tag-schiller-institute","tag-scott-ritter","tag-ukraine","tag-zhang-weiwei"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>On the brink of war or a new renaissance?
