Melbourne, Australia on 28-
29 March was the scene
of the landmark international
conference "The World Land-Bridge: Peace on Earth, Good
Will towards All Men", sponsored
by the Australian political
party, the Citizens Electoral
Council (CEC). In person
or by live or pre-recorded video,
speakers from seven other
countries and across the political
spectrum joined Australian
ones to promote awareness
of the collaborative process under
way among the powerful
BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia,
India, China, South Africa—and
the potential it represents for a
new, just world economic order.
The full proceedings of the conference
are available in video at
cecaust.com.au/2015conference
and in print from the CEC (ordering

presents some of the highlights
of the conference, which
speaker Dr Georgy Toloraya,
executive director of Russia's
National Committee for BRICS
Research, called a "milestone".
The event was conducted in
the spirit of the Schiller Institute's
New Paradigm series of
international conferences, organised
by the Institute's founder
and chairman Helga Zepp-LaRouche in recent years, to promote
collaborative economic
development and Classical culture
as the alternative to strategic
confrontation against China and
Russia, which carries the danger
of thermonuclear world war.
At the outset of her keynote
speech, Zepp-LaRouche emphasised
that the global situation is
presently at a moment known in
Classical drama as the punctum
saliens: when the old axioms by
which the hero or leading figures
have been functioning will cause
a disaster for both them and the
society they lead. The challenge
is: will those figures mobilise the
courage and wisdom to radically
transform their axioms, and so
secure a path to safety?
"Right now", said Zepp-LaRouche, "we have two existential
crises. We have a banking
crisis building, far worse than the
Lehman Brothers crash in 2008,
which could evaporate the entire
financial system at any moment.
But, even more existential for the
existence of mankind, is the fact
that we are extremely close to
the danger of a global thermonuclear
war.
"The old paradigm, which we
absolutely have to get rid of, you
can say starts with what we call,
generally, globalisation. Because
globalisation is really only another
word for the Anglo-American-dominated financial system,
which expanded after the collapse
of the Soviet Union and
accelerated after the repeal of
the banking separation of Glass-Steagall in 1999, where you have
had absolutely unlimited, unbridled
speculation, where the rich
became richer, the poor became
poorer, and that system is basically
now all-dominant in the
western world, in the trans-Atlantic
sector.
"Along with this globalisation,
you had the Project for the New
American Century doctrine, associated
with the administration
of President George W. Bush
and Vice President Dick Cheney
[2001-09], which was the idea
that, with the collapse of the Soviet
Union, there would be only
one superpower left and that superpower
would, based on the
special relationship with Great
Britain, turn the world into an
empire. And, obviously, that is
the reason why we are right now
on the verge of World War III."
That process, she continued,
has included "regime change of
all governments that would oppose
such a globalisation, such
a world empire, and also colour
revolutions, using NGOs financed by western institutions,
to topple these governments.
