May 14 -- With most policy makers, pundits and media maintaining silence, or denying the prospect that a war between the United States and Russia or China is likely, and could escalate to nuclear weapons, ninety year-old whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg spoke bluntly about the danger of such a possibility. He took the occasion of an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of his release of the Pentagon Papers to sound a warning about what he described as an "asinine" and "criminally insane" discussion about the likelihood of the use of nuclear weapons by the U.S., mentioning in particular comments by StratCom chief Admiral Charles Richard. “That discussion is going on, I have no doubt whatever, in the Pentagon right now...."

While the prospect of a June summit between Presidents Putin and Biden is becoming more likely, such a meeting alone will not guarantee peace, unless the underlying axioms embedded in the idea of a "Rules-Based Order" are rejected.  This idea is a modern iteration of the geopolitical outlook imposed by the British Empire, at the end of the 19th century, which led to two World Wars in the last century and is pushing humanity to the brink of a possible nuclear war today.   It is now possible to achieve a New Paradigm in relations, based on  the concept that, through cooperation among the great powers, peace can emerge from a mutual commitment to sovereign economic development -- but must be preceded by a rejection of the arbitrary imposition of a corporatist banker's Great Reset or Green New Deal.

The well-known and controversial American film director Oliver Stone, who ruffled Establishment feathers with his 2017 four-part, four-hour interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, was interviewed by the Washington Post on May 11, in which he denounced the ongoing “war against Russia” by the U.S. and NATO. He argued that, instead of this “suicidal path” of confrontation, the U.S. should “get along with China. Let’s get along with Russia, Iran and so forth.” The relevant section of the interview follows:

Fresh off the Schiller Institute’s May 8 international conference “The Moral Collapse of the Trans-Atlantic World Cries Out for a New Paradigm,” Schiller Institute founder and President Helga Zepp-LaRouche used her weekly webcast yesterday to renew her urgent call for a summit meeting among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the so-called P-5.

An article entitled “A Roadmap to Zero Emissions Healthcare” published in April, uses data from a 2019 Lancet article about health care and climate change, to raise concerns about the environmental “costs” of keeping people in good health. It is an obscenity that these themes are being drawn upon by UN climate leader Mark Carney and other institutions at this time of pandemic and dramatic healthcare deficits.

China very appropriately has labeled as “weasel policy” U.S. policy toward Xinjiang. Today at the United Nations, the permanent missions of the U.S., the U.K, Germany and an array of NGOs are holding an event on Xinjiang and “the repression of Uighur Muslims.” The spokesman for China’s UN mission issued a hard-hitting statement in response to this insult, while the semi-official Global Times titled its article on the subject: “U.S. ‘Weasel Diplomacy’ Will Not Function in Xinjiang.” During the May 10 Foreign Ministry briefing, spokeswoman Hua Chunying also asserted that U.S. behavior on Xinjiang was “just like the weasel paying respect to the hen, without the best of intentions.”
