Please mobilize your organizations.

This Friday, the International Peace Coalition, holding its 125th consecutive meeting, will feature Nuclear weapons expert Ted Postol, and a report on the Wednesday symposium. We will take up both the still-looming danger of thermonuclear war, and the newly-emerging prospect for a 180-degree shift in relations among the United States, Russia, China and other nations through the construction of what some have now called the Putin-Trump Peace Bridge.

Please send reports and initiatives for the agenda ASAP.

Friends of the International Peace Coalition,

It was exactly 63 years ago, America at 7 PM, October 22, 1962, President John. F. Kennedy, in a special emergency broadcast to the American people, stated: “It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”

Over the 18 minutes of the President’s speech that night, the world was transformed. Humanity was closer to global thermonuclear war, and therefore, to its potential annihilation, than at any time before or since — until the Fall of last year. On Dec. 25, 2024, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said: “Recently, Pentagon generals have openly deliberated on the potential for ‘limited nuclear strikes’ with the Russian Federation, with the intention to ensure they emerge victorious from such an `exchange.’” When the Biden Administration authorized and enabled the deployment, through Ukraine, of long-range missiles against Russia, and Russia, in response, successfully deployed in November 2024 its new, still-presently-unstoppable Oreshnik missile — without the nuclear warheads which it is capable of carrying — against Ukraine, the world stepped beyond the brink of what Kennedy had merely enunciated in the Cuban Missile Crisis of October, 1962.

In the last week, however, a startling revelation regarding 1963 has emerged from a file on the Kennedy assassination just provided to the United States from the Russian government. That just-released file contained a hand-drawn map which described a proposal to construct what was called on the map the “Khrushchev-Kennedy Peace Bridge.” On the map, written in English, and in large lettering, appear these words: “Kennedy-Khrushchev World Peace Bridge – could and should be built between Alaska and Russia. At once.” All the points of emphasis appear on the original map.

The Bering Strait Tunnel Project, in illustrated form, has been a widely circulated part of the Schiller Institute’s work for the past 35 years. For three years, since the 2022 escalation of the war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine, it has been the unique role of the International Peace Coalition, the Schiller Institute, and the LaRouche Organization, to insist that “peace through development” is the only way to durably end war, or to even propose a durable peace. Yesterday (Wednesday) Russian and American experts on what is often referred to as “the Bering Strait Tunnel Project” met on an online symposium sponsored on very short notice by the Executive Intelligence Review, the magazine founded by economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche (1922-2019).
