Schiller Institute Conference:
The New Silk Road: Mankind Is the Only Creative Species!
This week, we begin full coverage of the 30th anniversary conference of the Schiller Institute, in Frankfurt, Germany Oct. 18-19, titled, ``The New Silk Road and China's Lunar Program: Mankind Is the Only Creative Species!'' In this installment, we publish the speeches from the first panel, titled, ``The New Silk Road Is Transforming the Planet.''
The theme of the conference was established by Helga Zepp-LaRouche in her keynote speech, ``A New Era of Mankind,'' at the start of Panel I, in which she laid out in stark terms, the triple threat that faces mankind today: the spreading Ebola epidemic, which, it could be said, is a marker for the collapse of civilization into a New Dark Age; the expanding incursions of the barbaric ISIS terrorism in Southwest Asia, and beyond; and the disintegration of the global financial system, which, she said, is going to be much worse than the crash of 2008. But, she declared, since all of these disasters are man-made, there are also remedies that can be found. One of the speakers at the conference, Jason Ross, of the LaRouche Scientific Team, who addressed the final panel, presented a summary of the conference on the LaRouchePAC weekly webcast Oct. 24. He characterized the impact of the proceedings on audience and speakers alike:
``The overall direction—development around an uplifted view of mankind—existed as an overall social-sense at the conference. It was beyond the individual presentations. It developed a life of its own, which I think is the mark of a very fruitful dialogue and a fruitful conference....''

This Week's Cover


National

  • LaRouchePAC Issues Emergency War Plan Against Ebola
    Dr. Debra Freeman, national spokeswoman for Lyndon LaRouche, issued this statement on Oct. 24, which is being circulated in a mass leaflet form by the LaRouche Political Action Committee. It reports on a three-phase program for control of epidemic disease, outlined by Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the world's leading experts on public health and biosecurity.

Economics

  • A Challenge to Pessimism:
    Asian Investment Bank Will Finance Great Projects
    'There is an unmistakable indicator that provides information about whether a government is making good policy or not,' writes Helga Zepp-LaRouche. 'If the majority of the population is happy and optimistic about the future, the government would appear to be fulfilling its mission to serve the common good. Should the vast majority of people, however, be pessimistic about the possibility of change and a better future, then this government is obviously pursuing a bad policy.' Contrast, then, the governments of China and India vs. those of Europe.
    • China Opens the Floodgates:
      Huge Project To Address Water Scarcity
      After investing more than a decade in constructing dams, canals, tunnels, and the world's most modern aqueduct, and just as long in intensive measures to improve and protect water quality in the upper Yangtze River system, China has completed the Central Route of its huge South-North Water Transfer Project.
