Executive Intelligence Review; Volume 41, Issue 38

From the Editors: It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of our Cover Feature this issue, which goes hand-in-glove with our International lead. The summit last week between the leaders of the world's two most populous nations, India and China, featured solid steps toward a new and deeper partnership, which portends a brighter future for all mankind. The subtext that should be read is: The control by the British Empire and its geopolitics is over. The visit comes in the midst of an entire BRICS process, which is sweeping the planet, and creating a new reality that will replace the Empire, if humanity is to survive. Integral to creating that process has been Helga Zepp-LaRouche, whose speech to a recent Silk Road conference in Beijing we include in the package, as well as that of the Chinese professor who introduced her. Then you will find a mind-opening reprise of how India has been prepared for its historic role today, and a long, although necessarily partial, grid of the major deals, primarily infrastructural, made by the BRICs countries since their mid-July summit in Brazil. Leading the International section is Helga Zepp-LaRouche's latest initiative, a call for nations to pull together a conference to build a new, inclusive world security architecture, which will end geopolitics, and the concomitant economic misery, for all mankind. The rest of our news analysis deals with battles underway within that old paradigm-Ukraine, the Scottish referendum, Ebola, the fight over infrastructure in Italy, and the miserable state of affairs in the U.S. Congress. This latter problem looms even larger now that Obama, with his British backers, has launched an unconstitutional, illegal war of aggression in Southwest Asia, specifically against Syria. Obama is flagrantly violating the expressed will of the Congress, in HCR 105, as well as the stern warnings from the Russians, the second greatest nuclear power on the planet, about the obligations of all nations to follow international law. The fact that ISIS must be defeated and destroyed is no excuse; in fact, only lawful cooperation among nation-states, such as Russia, the U.S., Iran, Syria, and others, can conceivable succeed in doing so. Instead, Obama chooses war, putting the world in terrible danger. Will the American people choose the BRICS process instead?
