From the Editors: "If the Americas, like the rest of the world, are to be saved from the economic disintegration and New Dark Age now besetting them, it will have to be on the basis of rediscovering-and rebuilding-the hemisphere, based on applying that 'substantial form of power' the creative powers of mind] which Cusa invoked. That process is now underway with the momentous July 15-16, 2014 summits of the BRICS nations and Unasur, sparked by Argentina's courageous fight against the criminal vulture funds." That introductory statement by Dennis Small in our cover Feature on the Americas' prospects under the emerging World Land-Bridge paradigm, provides an apt introduction to this issue as a whole. In addition to Small's review of the projects underway and required in South America, we have Part II of our review of Egypt's renewed drive for sovereign economic development, this time focused on reclaiming the desert (Economics). In the same vein is our preliminary coverage of Helga Zepp-LaRouche's recent trip to China, which represents a potent demonstration of the power of ideas, specifically the idea of the New Silk Road which she and her husband Lyndon LaRouche have championed for more than two decades (International). The role of the LaRouches and their political movement in developing the concepts which the Chinese government is now applying, was repeatedly acknowledged on this tour. In coming issues, there will be much more from this groundbreaking trip. The latest LaRouchePAC New Paradigm show provides highly relevant conceptual backup to the reports on progress to the New World Economic Order, with Megan Beets' discussion of "Poetry: The Shadows which the Future Casts upon the Present" (Science and Culture). But you can't afford to miss our strategic news reporting: LaRouche's call on Bill Clinton to create the basis for a new Presidency (National); the real story of the British flop at the NATO summit (International); and significant developments on Europe and Ebola. Late breaking is the upsurge of activity to release the 28 pages of the Congressional Inquiry on 9/11, which deals with the funding of that terror attack, and is widely reported to implicate the Saudi kingdom in support for the terrorists (National). Such revelations couldn't be more relevant-not only to the current strategic situation, but to removing one of the major causes of the problem, Barack Obama.
