“Blessed are the Peacemakers, for They will be Called the Children of God”

While NATO meets in Washington and careens toward war, Hungary's president is organizing for an end to the Ukraine war and a comprehensive peace. A Lyndon LaRouche style, "Four-Powers Agreement" will ensure success.

As the world continues to careen toward World War III, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, upon assuming the Presidency of the European Community (EC) Council for the next six months, has taken a bold initiative, traveling to Kiev to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to Moscow to meet Russian President Putin, and to Beijing to meet Chinese President Xi, in an effort to resolve the war in Ukraine.

In the face of criticism from the EC Commission, some of whom have threatened to cut short his Presidency, Orbán defended his initiative, saying that Hungary can be “a good tool in the hands of God” to promote peace.

Orbán has endorsed former President Trump’s candidacy for the U.S. Presidency and has said that “He [Trump] is the man of peace. Under his four-year term he did not initiate a single war, and he did a lot in order to create peace in old conflicts in very complicated areas of the world.” Trump has said he could end the war in Ukraine in just 24 hours after his election as President this Nov 5, even before his inauguration next January.

At the same time that Prime Minister Orbán launched his initiative, Prime Minister Modi traveled to Moscow, like Orbán, defying those who have tried to make President Putin a pariah.

All of these initiatives are important in countering the ongoing drive towards World War III. But what needs to be added at this point, especially in the final months before the U.S. elections, is a grand strategy for durable peace in the world.

That grand strategy was developed by the late Lyndon LaRouche, who called for the Four Powers—the USA, Russia, China and India—to be joined by other sovereign nation-states, to create a New Bretton Woods system, based on respect for national sovereignty, rejection of Malthusian supranational globalist dictates, and a commitment to economic development as the new name for peace.

What is little understood is that what is driving the world towards World War III is a form of financial imperialism known historically as the Anglo-Dutch system, which emerged from the British and Dutch East India Companies, and which was consolidated into the British Empire in 1763. This system is the enemy of all of humanity, including the USA, Russia, China and India, and is the primary source of war due to its predatory opposition to the development of sovereign nation-states.

If World War III is to be prevented in a durable manner, these Four Powers must overcome the divide-and-conquer methods of the Anglo-Dutch imperialists, and come to an agreement to create a new, just economic order. One which replaces the Anglo-Dutch imperial system with an American System of political economy, committed not to a Malthusian Green agenda or to the free trade policies of Adam Smith, but rather to policies echoing Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List and Henry C. Carey.

Many have been deceived into thinking that the USA is an irredeemable source of evil in the world. They fail to see that the imperialist policies they attribute to the USA, are the result of the USA acting as a “dumb giant on a British leash,” and that the USA has the capacity to free itself once again from its historical enemy.

As Lyndon LaRouche wrote: “Our Constitution, and our conception of an anti-British East India Company policy known as the American System of political-economy, our fundamental opposition to an intrinsically predatory and imperialist Anglo-Dutch Liberalism, is a deeply embedded special character, our patriotic tradition, even today.”

The current crisis in the world must be seen as a great moment of opportunity for change in the direction of the good. As Viktor Orbán has said “I’m sure that a change would be good for the world.” Pointing to the fact that there is a “very, very good chance” that Biden will not be reelected, Orbán said, “I believe that will be good for the world politics.” 

Will Wertz worked closely with Lyndon LaRouche for decades, and is the author of the book BEWARE The British East India Company!: Toward an Alliance Between the USA, Russia, China, and India to Finally Defeat the British Empire. He will give two classes on the Four-Power Agreement, July 13 and July 20, in Promethean Action’s Weekly Saturday Class Series.
