OPEN LETTER
FROM IBERO-AMERICA TO MR. BIDEN

‘End Your Strategy of Using Ukraine to Destroy Russia!
Stop the Danger of Nuclear War!’

June 11—Led by the LaRouche Citizens’ Movement of Mexico and friends in Argentina, Schiller Institute activists from many Ibero-American countries sent their Presidents and other officials, an “Open Letter from Ibero-America to Mr. Biden” on the eve of the beleaguered Summit of the Americas which took place June 6–10 in Los Angeles. The Open Letter went out the week of June 3, signed by a select number of citizens from the region. Its message: “End Your Strategy of Using Ukraine to Destroy Russia! Stop the Danger of Nuclear War!” The full text follows.

“The Summit of the Americas, which will take place June 6–10 this year, should submit a blunt resolution from the Presidents of Ibero-America to U.S. President Joe Biden:

1. End your strategy of using Ukraine to destroy Russia.

2. Stop NATO’s extension and expansion toward the Pacific (Global NATO), since if that is not done, we are heading toward a frontal war against China, which at this point in human history would be truly insane, and would drive us toward general thermonuclear war.

That is why the international community should call for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, sanctions to be lifted against Russia, and an international conference to be convoked on a New Security and Economic Development Architecture for all nations, which takes into account the demands of the Russian government for security on its borders, as the Schiller Institute proposes in its recent call.

President Biden: The economic and financial sanctions against Russia are having a boomerang effect on the world economy. We are already in worldwide stagflation and it will get worse if an economic and financial war is opened against China. Decoupling the financial system and economies of the trans-Atlantic axis plus Japan, Australia, and South Korea, from the economies of Russia and China would trigger a general economic and social collapse much worse than the collapse of Europe and Asia during the 14th century bubonic plague. That alone could mean the disappearance of the global civilization which we inherited from the great 15th and 16th century European Renaissance.

Moreover, the entire world faces a general debt crisis stemming from the $1.9 quadrillion speculative bubble, which is the underlying cause of the hyperinflationary process aggravated by illegal sanctions.

You know the solution to this economic breakdown: You told CNN on December 15, 2016, that the biggest mistake in your political career was your vote in 1999 in favor of the cancellation of Franklin Roosevelt’s Glass-Steagall Law by President Clinton and the Congress.

Now is the time to reinstate it!

Franklin Roosevelt’s economic system must be restored worldwide. Glass-Steagall must be reestablished across the planet along with a policy of economic relations and good will with Russia and China, so that, together with India, these four superpowers can rid themselves of their common enemy, the dark forces of the financier speculator interests opposed to human progress—the Neanderthal embers of McCarthyism and the Cold War—and found an economic system capable of eliminating poverty throughout the world. This is the path to reestablish the economic power of the United States and the whole Ibero-American region.

Likewise, a comprehensive economic and social plan to finally address the consequences of the conflicts and wars in Asia and Africa should be formulated as part of, and complementary to, China’s strategic Silk Road plan.

With all due respect for the people of the United States, they would be wise to accept that the world today can no longer be unipolar. There are other powers whose place in the new concert of nations should be recognized under the 21st century concept of multipolarity.

The 21st century must become the century in which humanity ends hunger and the brutality of war, allowing us to overcome the barbaric state in which we still find ourselves, and become truly human. That is the legacy which the 17th century Treaties of Westphalia left us, a glorious moment for humanity, which established the basis of the modern Nation-State, the concept of the Common Good, in addition to perceiving that the good of other nations signifies also doing the good for each one of our nations, and finally understanding that the security of our nations cannot be at the cost of the security and submission of others.
