The Planet as a Whole: A Race between the
BRICS and the World War
Party
May 18 (EIRNS)—The past weeks have seen an extraordinary consolidation of
the
economic partnership and mutual support among China, India, and
Russia—the core
of the BRICS impulse of scientific progress and economic
growth, which is now
reaching many nations. A “brotherhood,” as EIR Founding
Editor Lyndon LaRouche
recently called it, rather than an alliance of
nations, some of which are driving the
highest rates of productivity and
growth in the world; others of which, desperately
need
that.
But the relatively bankrupt trans-Atlantic
countries, with very bankrupt banking
systems, are driving the world toward
war—and not only the spreading, genocidal
wars in the Mideast and Northern
Africa which Bush and Obama, Blair and
Cameron, and their Saudi allies have
started.
Today the battle was in full view in South Korea,
where Indian Prime Minister
Modi and U.S. Secretary of State Kerry were
visiting at the same time.
India and Korea formed a strategic partnership;
Korea extended $10 billion in
credits for Indian infrastructure development,
along with a commitment to bring to
India, South Korea’s famously successful model for rural development.
Modi
presented the benefits of his “Make in India” campaign, for
Korea.
Kerry, on the same day, dismayed his Korean hosts
by blustering attacks on
North Korea—virtual demands for war on the
peninsula—and pushed the U.S.
ballistic missile defense system Korea does not
want, down their throats.
Kerry’s deputy, Victoria Nuland, spent three days
in Ukraine, then that country’s
President signed laws which effectively
glorify the country’s Nazi collaboration
during World War II and outlaw
dissent against it; while the Obama Administration
again emphasized that
heavy weapons for Ukraine to fight Russia were “on the
table.”
And London moved against Macedonia, with
anti-government demonstrations
led by European diplomats and promising “a war
here like in Ukraine.” Macedonia
is an important link on China’s “Maritime
Silk Road” port-and-rail development
corridor, and an opponent of anti-Russia
sanctions. The attack against Macedonia is
against the BRICS as a whole,
which alliance is clearly giving Greece a live option
to escape the murderous
austerity and economic depression imposed on it by EU
agencies.
The BRICS dynamic must prevail. The current
U.S.-NATO policy of destroying
the BRICS combination, encircling and
confronting both Russia and China, is not
only a bankrupt policy; it is
leading toward thermonuclear war and potential human
extinction.
Remove Obama—whose own party is in revolt against
him over his pro-Wall
Street and pro-London policies—and a new orientation
for America toward the
BRICS dynamic is
possible.
Remove Obama—who today proclaimed Camden, New
Jersey with its 15%-plus
unemployment rate “a symbol of promise for the
nation”—and Wall Street could be
defeated, beginning with a new
Glass-Steagall Act to throw the casino speculation
out of banking.
Remove Obama and create a surge of credit for
productivity and employment,
using Alexander Hamilton’s credit policies—and
the United States can join the
BRICS in rebuilding the economies and
broken-down labor forces of nations,
including its own.
