Letter to the Members of Parliament
28 April 2014
Mr. / (Mrs.)………………………….., M.P. House of Commons Re: Request for a meeting on the 7th, 8th, or 9th of May, to discuss an exit strategy from the onrushing global economic crisis and danger of war and the prospects for peaceful cooperation among nations on great projects of economic development under a New Bretton Woods System. Dear Member of Parliament, Over the recent months, the Committee for the Republic of Canada and associate organizations internationally have been intersecting many political officials, parliamentarians, staffers and other institutional figures in order to both inform and mobilize them on the crucial importance of taking immediate measures to overcome the deepening divide between the Trans-Atlantic sector (Western Europe and the Americas, including Canada) and Eurasia (particularly China, and Russia). At the core of the crisis is the fact that the Trans-Atlantic zone, since period of the murder of John F. Kennedy, has been reversing all the policies that meant civilization, giving up scientific and technological progress (space program and fusion research), classical culture, physical economy etc., and embracing policies of drugs, speculation and free trade. In the meantime, especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall, China and Russia have shown a clear desire to go in the direction of scientific and technological progress which the Trans-Atlantic zone has given up. So now the physical and financial economy of the Trans-Atlantic zone is collapsing, while that of Eurasia is improving. The Trans-Atlantic zone could do two things. Act stupidly and try to impose by force its degenerate policy on the rest of the world, including by threatening thermonuclear war – or, accept the offer of, in particular China and Russia for the development of large infrastructure projects to lift the populations of the world from their misery. Chinese President Xi Jinping is proposing to build a New Silk Road: the integration of the land-locked nations of Eurasia and Europe through high-speed rail-based infrastructure corridors - a policy which has been promoted for over 20 years by Schiller Institute president Helga Zepp-LaRouche [1], as well as the Committee for the Republic of Canada. Russian President Putin has proposed collaboration with the United States and Canada to build a Rail Development Corridor across the Bering Strait [2], and called for a collaboration with the Trans-Atlantic nations on a Strategic Defence of Earth against hazardous asteroids. [3] The time for a decision is nearing because the financial system is on the brink of collapse as indicated by the fact that Europe just passed a law allowing for the bail-in of the banks. [4] Canada doesn’t have to follow the others, it should not be afraid to speak for humanity even against Wall Street and the British Empire. The meeting which we wish to hold with the Member of Parliament will focus on two interrelated subjects: 2. The potential for Canada, the United States and Mexico to collaborate on the construction of the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA), [6] which will divert about 20 percent of the runoff of rivers flowing into the Arctic and Pacific Oceans into a continental system of water management, to mitigate droughts and flooding, while providing water for irrigation, municipalities and industries. Given the extreme multi-year drought affecting particularly California and Texas presently, [7] conditions which could continue for many years, the water provided by NAWAPA will have to be supplemented by large-scale desalination of ocean water. This will require large amounts of nuclear power as well as a rapid development of thermonuclear fusion. [8] However there are also more immediate measures which will have to be taken well before the completion of NAWAPA or nuclear desalination facilities, which involve scientific approaches to weather modification. [9] NAWAPA’s requirement for over 6 million productive new jobs in Canada, the United States and Mexico over the 20 – 25 year period of design, preparation and construction, necessitating the construction of entirely new industries, mines, power plants, rail and road networks, opening up the prospect of collaboration with Russia and China on such projects as the Bering Strait Rail Corridor, Arctic development and space exploration. Due to the existential nature of the global economic crisis and the present danger of war, and also considering the golden opportunity for Canada, the United States and Europe to collaborate with Russia, China and other Eurasian nations on such mutually beneficial projects, we are requesting a meeting with the Member of Parliament for the 7th, 8th, or 9th of May 2014, or if that is not possible, then the 15-16th of May with two representatives of our organization.
