This Week's Cover

Schiller Institute Conference:
The New Silk Road: Mankind Is the Only Creative Species!
We begin our coverage of the 30th anniversary conference of the Schiller Institute with speeches from the first panel, titled, 'The New Silk Road Is Transforming the Planet,' featuring a keynote address by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, in which she laid out in stark terms, the triple threat that faces mankind today: the spreading Ebola epidemic; the expanding incursions of the barbaric ISIS terrorism in Southwest Asia, and beyond; and the disintegration of the global financial system.

But, the crises are man-made, and can therefore be remedied—if we can find the political will to do so.

National

LaRouchePAC Issues Emergency War Plan Against Ebola
Dr. Debra Freeman, national spokeswoman for Lyndon LaRouche, issued this statement on Oct. 24, which is being circulated in a mass leaflet form by the LaRouche Political Action Committee. It reports on a three-phase program for control of epidemic disease, outlined by Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the world's leading experts on public health and biosecurity.

Economics

A Challenge to Pessimism:
Asian Investment Bank Will Finance Great Projects
'There is an unmistakable indicator that provides information about whether a government is making good policy or not,' writes Helga Zepp-LaRouche. 'If the majority of the population is happy and optimistic about the future, the government would appear to be fulfilling its mission to serve the common good. Should the vast majority of people, however, be pessimistic about the possibility of change and a better future, then this government is obviously pursuing a bad policy.' Contrast, then, the governments of China and India vs. those of Europe.
- China Opens the Floodgates:
  Huge Project To Address Water Scarcity
  After investing more than a decade in constructing dams, canals, tunnels, and the world's most modern aqueduct, and just as long in intensive measures to improve and protect water quality in the upper Yangtze River system, China has completed the Central Route of its huge South-North Water Transfer Project.
