“America. NOW is the world’s 1776 moment”
"We are in the phase of determining what order and principle will prevail".
Title adapted from Vivek Ramaswamey’s endorsement speech for candidate Trump in New Hampshire. Subtitle quoted from Helga Zepp-LaRouche,14 Jan. commentary.
Perhaps the most notable international occurrence of the 1st week of the New Year was the case brought before the U.N.’s top court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ). South Africa, (whose flag is the backdrop of the image above), is bringing its case against Israel, accusing the state of conducting genocide against Gaza’s Palestinians in its efforts to eliminate Hamas.
South Africa has a history of living under conditions imposed by an apartheid state government and has a particular affinity with the plight of the Gazans. They have shared solidarity since the days when Nelson Mandela was still behind bars as a political prisoner fighting for the self-determination of the black native people in their own country.
Excerpted from a recent interview on public radio:
“Mia SWART: (visiting law professor from South Africa's University of the Witwatersrand.) Because of its apartheid past, South Africa is also feeling solidarity with the Palestinian people because we know that the conditions in the occupied Palestinian territories have been described as apartheid. And for all these reasons, South Africa feels a special affinity.
BARTLETT: (Author conducting a recorded interview with Ms. Swart) After Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and Israel responded with a bombardment of the Gaza Strip, South African parliamentarians, dressed in Palestinian scarves, voted to suspend diplomatic ties with Israel. And President Cyril Ramaphosa did not shy away from using the word genocide.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA: “The collective punishment of Palestinian civilians through the unlawful use of force by Israel is a war crime. The deliberate denial of medicine, fuel, food, and water to the residents of Gaza is tantamount to genocide”.
BARTLETT: In December, the government announced it had filed a case with the U.N.-backed court in The Hague, saying Israel had violated the U.N.'s Genocide Convention, of which they are both a signatory. South Africa's filing to the court read in part, the acts and omissions by Israel complained of by South Africa are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnic group.”1
I am observing the current events happening on the world stage through a lens I did not possess a week ago.
I just got through reading Part II of Edwin Black’s book The Farhud; Roots of the Arab-Nazi Alliance in the Holocaust. This part of the book details the horrific acts committed by the Axis powers after Hitler came to power in Germany. What many Americans are perhaps unaware of is the number of other countries and ethnicities who joined the Third Reich in its systematic extermination of the Jewish population.
The Arabs, under the influence of prominent Muslim leaders, supported concerted efforts to thwart the establishment of a Jewish homeland in the Palestine territory. They joined the cause of the Nazis believing their alliance with Germany to be their best hope to stymie the resolutions coming out of the League of Nations pushing for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
Many Arabs were convinced that a victory for Germany was the assurance they needed to prevent the Jewish immigration into what then was an Arab-controlled Palestine.
Hitler’s “solution for the Jewish question” as it was euphemistically referred to by various administrators within their penned, official, documents was reigning terror upon the Jews all across Europe, the Baltics, into Russia, as well as most of the Arab nations. The Nazi policies of ethnic cleansing unleashed blood-lust demons that escalated and drove some perpetrators absolutely berserk. Black’s accounts of heinous atrocities committed against Jewish inhabitants who had lived peacefully among their fellow countrymen for centuries and multiple generations is a testament to the necessity of civilized people preventing such crimes against humanity from ever happening again.
To not thwart the re-emergence of these sorts of satanic war crimes would allow the ghoulish and diabolical destroyers of humanity to once again threaten the very existence of a civilized world that is so close to a genuine breakthrough for a far greater, divine destiny. A firewall of protecting and valuing all human beings and the sanctity of life must be vigilantly maintained.
We must nurture the birth of the new era. So many are awakening to forge a new paradigm for peace, security, and a collaborative culture among nations. The death throes of a dying empire built on divide and conquer, institutionalized thinking must not be allowed to detour us from a more enlightened, compassionate future.
Such were the historic resolutions that came out of the Nurenburg trials which tried and convicted a few of the worst Nazi criminals. “Never again” would a holocaust at such a scale ever be allowed to happen.
And yet the evidence of indiscriminate and rampant killing being conducted by the Israelis within Gaza has been not only condoned by the U.S. and U.K. and their toady allies, but now with the bombing of Houthi targets within Yemen (by U.S. warplanes in an undeclared war), a wider regional conflict is in danger of flaring up.
“Against all of this evil, come the many expressions of the alternative for humanity: ceasefire, negotiations for peace and initiatives for development. Today mass street marches and rallies took place in dozens of cities around the globe. In Washington, D.C., many thousands of people came from all over the country for the March4Gaza to make a demonstration for morality in the capital.
The danger is the escalation of warfare in many directions—Lebanon, Yemen and the Red Sea region, and the provocation of Iran. “We are getting very close to a regional war,” warned Helga Zepp-LaRouche [founder of the Schiller Institute and co-sponsor of the International Peace Coalition (IPC)] today. She observed that the so-called “rules-based order is out the window,” and we are in a phase of law of the jungle.
But we are at this breaking point in more than one way, Zepp-LaRouche noted. Look at what South Africa did. It was not “news” that Israel is committing genocide, but the South African presentation at The Hague Jan. 11 was airtight and powerful, and that is “news.” We are in the phase of determining what order and principle will prevail.”2
You may well ask; “How did we get here”? How in a single lifetime, in little more than a single generation did we move from the United States and its allies in WW II being the saviors of humanity from the scourge of Nazi fascism and its avowed program to exterminate an entire race to now aiding and abetting a Nazified, coalition of forces guilty of perpetrating the very same war crimes as those tried & convicted at Nuremberg?
These violations appear not only in Gaza by a far-right Likud government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, but a Zelensky-led government in Ukraine; both outlaw regimes committing war crimes backed by the U.S. and its U.K./NATO accomplices.
America has lost her moorings. The U.S./U.K.-led NATO alliance has become unhinged and has, before the eyes of the world, led the trans-Atlantic collective West into a moral vacuum bereft of any semblance of its touted “rules-based order” which has been shown to be a hollowed-out shibboleth.
I agree with Helga Zepp-LaRouche as the keynote speaker and guiding light of the International Peace Coalition and its nearly 2000 international organizations that have joined in calling all countries to file Declarations of Intervention with the World Court backing South Africa’s case invoking the Genocide Convention against Israel.
Further, a follow-up assessment is being circulated by a later (IPC) pronouncement:
“This is something everybody absolutely should watch, because the fact that it is the government of South Africa, a government which has a long history of fighting against apartheid, of having a very high moral standing, was the one which took this step to attempt to bring justice and save the lives of the Palestinian people; and the entire West was not capable of responding, or even some of them are still denying it to the present minute. This is of historical significance; it means the moral leadership has shifted to the countries of the Global South, or better, the Global Majority….
[O]bviously immediate action has to be taken to prevent this horrible dying of people. I think that this is going to change history, because it has shown that the leadership of mankind clearly has shifted to the Global South, and that the so-called rules-based order and the people who think that they are so superior have absolutely been proven to be on the wrong side of history. I think this is extremely important….”3
The question now, is…, will the American people rise to the level of character that we once exhibited and showed the world in earlier times when we were more aligned with values inherited from our Judeo-Christian roots?
The values I refer to are those that propelled and guided a collection of mostly Christian-raised subjects ruled by a monarchical government to demand/declare that the laws of the land apply to all equitably and fairly. They experienced an oppressive and arbitrary oligarchical form of government that was unjustly interfering, and extorting from them through onerous taxation and unlawful decrees—the value of their labor and industry; their righteous and lawful compensation under God’s providence to supply the needs of their families and community.
In those earlier times, we can realize that the same passions that enfired our predecessors who were the early American patriots, were so-moved to rebel against a system of injustice that was tilted in favor of one class of people lording over another—an aristocratic, rentier class ruling over the commoners.
Now the global majority has grown and ripened to include many world citizens who are enlivened with the same yearnings to be free of their oppressors. Those people once treated as the underclass, the untouchables, the deplorables are proving they have the intelligence, maturity, technology, soulfulness, and importantly, the universally agreed-upon charters of international law on their side, to demand/declare that the leadership within all nations recognize and adhere to a justice system that respects the sovereignty and national security obligations solemnly extended to every country and all inhabitants within the diversity of nations upon earth.
Those of the Global South, or better, the Global Majority recognize that the leaders of the collective West have lost their bearings, and are out of touch with the ideals their forebears once espoused and defended. For the most part, those foreign nations assembled together should be regarded as no less than our (U.S.) partners in establishing a world of peace and a new security architecture that superintends the sovereign rights of everyone in every nation.
America has been seduced to embrace what was once soundly rejected and denounced.
Our very foundations were built on liberty and justice for all—not just a privileged few.
Let’s look at what happened as the decades rolled by while we didn’t notice. An anti-democratic clique of Marxist-style operatives reinjected a synarchy*, a system of top-down control as a synthetic overlay posing as a representative government. The prerogatives of a permanent political class, the echelon financed by the wealthy elites hired to manage a planned technocracy, have coopted the plurality mechanisms of the checks and balances designed into our constitutional republic and subverted it from within:
Once upon a time, American patriots knew exactly who and what they were fighting.
“The first thing to recognize is that the British Empire is and always has been primarily a FINANCIAL EMPIRE, a global system of usury, speculation, and financial dominance by the City of London. The City of London created the global system of private Central Banking in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, that private oligarchical system has near dictatorial control over the monetary and financial policies of almost every nation of the planet, as the fate of hundreds of millions of human beings is decided by the controllers of the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the U.S. Federal Reserve, and similar institutions. The City of London also created, in the 1960s and 70s the “offshore banking system,” imperial financial centers outside the control of sovereign nations, which today bankroll most of the world’s business in narcotics, illicit arms sales and human trafficking.
[O]ne must stop looking at the nation-state of Great Britain and look at the actual far-flung imperial financial empire that exists and that is centered in London. Look also at the role of the British elites in the Satanic cultural onslaught of recent years, such as the “climate change” campaign, championed by King Charles. Look at the speakers at any COP conference or World Economic Forum conference. The elites who control these conferences are neither “American imperialists” nor “Communists.” British and other European oligarchical interests, together with their treasonous American partners, dominate these affairs. It is a world-wide web of central bankers, financial speculators, multi-national corporations and billionaire-funded private foundations and trusts. These are the true enemies of our nation and of every other sovereign nation. This is the 21st century British Empire”.4
America. NOW is the world’s 1776 moment. Rejoin the fight!

* Synarchy, synarchism, synarchistic: A system of government [engineered by the upper classes of Europe] administered on fascist principles by an international brotherhood of financiers and industrialists. [a Europe of the oligarchs.]
(Author’s note): Yes, the mainstream definition of this term is laughable (if you were to look it up in conventional resources). The fact that this word has hardly entered into the American lexicon should tell you something.
Further elucidated in Tragedy and Hope—A History of the World in Our Time (New York: MacMillan Company, 1966), described the BIS [Bank of International Settlements] scheme to establish a dictatorship over world finance:
"The powers of financial capital had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."5
