RSVP Here: https://schillerinstitute.nationbuild... Friends of the International Peace Coalition, Thursday and Friday of this week mark an occasion of special significance. This May 8, the United States officially celebrates the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, when in 1945 Germany formally surrendered to the Allied Powers, putting an end to World War II. On May 9, Russia also officially celebrates Victory Day in what they call the Great Patriotic War, when Germany’s surrender was formally signed in Berlin. Heads of state and government of 29 nations—including BRICS members China, Brazil and Egypt—are gathered in Moscow this week for the Victory Parade and related activities. In the weeks leading up to May 9, Russia’s top leadership have singled out, with pinpoint accuracy, the role of Great Britain as the force behind the rise of Nazi Germany and the power that urged them to drive east into Russia, in sharp contrast to the role played by the United States in defense of democracy and sovereignty—noting, as well, that this is the crucial lesson to be drawn for today. In recent weeks, Sergey Shoigu, Secretary of the Russian Security Council; Nikolay Patrushev, former Secretary of the Russian Security Council and now personal aide to President Vladimir Putin; and Sergey Naryshkin’s SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) have all struck that same theme: that the United States of Lincoln and FDR is Russia’s natural ally, just as it was in the past, in the war against British-created fascism today. Mankind is once again staring at the ugly face of fascism: in the followers of Hitler-ally Stepan Bandera who today rule Kiev; in the followers of Vladimir Ze’ev Jabotinsky, whom Ben-Gurion called "Vladimir Hitler" for his open defense of the Nazis, who today run Israel’s Netanyahu government and are engaged in the extermination of Gaza and its people; in the use of blind terrorism to spark geopolitical regional wars, such as in the Indian subcontinent. That is because the British-centered financial interests have once again revived the policies of Schacht—rearmament for war, combined with a bailout of the bankrupt financial system—to try to salvage their world order. In her weekly webcast dialogue today, "Three Dangerous Hot Spots, One Solution," Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche pointed directly to the problem—and its solution. "We see worldwide a whole pattern of attacks against every single BRICS country… [On the current India-Pakistan crisis] the first thing to do is to reinstate the [Indus] Waters treaty between India and Pakistan, because that is a very serious question. Otherwise, [they should] really get involved in the New Paradigm, because there is a move for settling all of these questions—if you agree on principles of cooperation. Given that the BRICS countries are intending to use the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, as well as the UN Charter, that is already a framework. So, if you agree that that is what you want to uphold as your basic principles, then you can sit down and discuss all the tricky questions in a separate way, as was done in the Peace of Westphalia. "I think an approach like that should be taken, and I think Russia and China and other countries—like Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa many other countries—could be part of such an approach."
