A New World Order in the Making in Kazan
This week, the BRICS annual meeting in Kazan, Russia, and the annual IMF conference in Washington will discuss, respectively, how to overcome the current, unjust and bankrupt world system (the former) and how to keep it alive at any cost (the latter). A third meeting, hosted by LaRouche independent candidates Jose Vega and Diane Sare in New York City on Oct. 26, will offer a perspective for a new global security and development architecture.
The BRICS conference in Kazan from Oct. 22 to 24, which is attended by leaders of 36 countries, including 22 heads of state, is of historical importance. As host Russian President Putin explained, not only will decisions be taken on a strategy for development, but also on concrete steps towards emancipation from the slavery of the dollar/IMF system. Vladimir Putin made clear that the BRICS are not pursuing failed models such as the euro single currency system, but that the “weaponization” of the dollar forces them to create a payment system and a trade currency system as necessary measures to protect themselves (cf. below).
Just one day before the summit began, China and India agreed to settle the border violence of 2020 that has kept them from collaborating as fully as possible on much larger international issues. This is a highly promising sign for the future of the often-troubled relationship between the two Asian giants.
Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed the challenges facing the BRICS and the prospects of this summit, in comments to the Oct.18 weekly International Peace Coalition meeting. She said she was quite sure that the group of nine nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, plus the members that joined on Jan. 1st of this year, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates), will emerge “even much stronger than at the Johannesburg summit last year in South Africa. They will announce new structures of an international security architecture. I’m pretty sure that it will be along the lines of what Putin said when he suggested on June 14 a new Eurasian security infrastructure. And probably they will reiterate what China president Xi Jinping has said repeatedly — prominently to President Obama at the time — that the BRICS are open to let every nation join [the world development process].”
However, Ms. LaRouche has also warned of serious destabilization attempts from the West, not only through threats of sanctions and other punitive measures, but also militarily, for example with an Israeli attack on Iran, possibly even during the summit, as a number of signs have indicated (cf. below). Iran is a key country along the North-South and East-West routes of the Belt and Road Initiative, precisely the region where the losing faction in the Transatlantic elite intends to wreak havoc to sabotage such win-win cooperation. There, a world deflagration could be prevented by just having the U.S. government act seriously to put an end to the insane policy of the Netanyahu government.
