Stop the Danger of Nuclear War Now
November 22, 2022 @ 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
The long-awaited U.S. midterm election did not reduce the danger of global nuclear war – if anything, it increased that threat. The life-and-death issues facing the United States and the world – the escalating danger of nuclear confrontation around the Ukraine theater, and the breakdown collapse of the Western financial and economic system that is driving that war danger – were scarcely even mentioned. Just how close we are to the edge of nuclear war was made dramatically clear on Nov. 15-16, when a rocket landed on Polish territory. Based on a rumor that Russia had fired the rocket, which turned out to be false, the world was within minutes of the activation of the equivalent of Article 5 of NATO. This event, on the 59th anniversary of the JFK assassination, is sponsored by the Schiller Institute, Participants will discuss a way forward, beyond NATO’s war against Russia in Ukraine, with a ‘Peace Through Development’ approach for the world. Event will be be aired online on Schiller Institute.com and simulcast from the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico City. Speakers include past and current legislators from Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. Also speaking will be Colonel Richard Black, former Guyana President Donald Ramotar, former U.S. Senator candidate (NY) Diane Sare, and Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche.
