This Friday, July 4, will mark the opening of a one-year commemoration and recollection of the 250th birthday of the United States of America. Former Congressman and Presidential candidate (2004, 2008) Dennis Kucinich released, on July 1, a statement, “July 4, 2025: The Desecration of the Declaration of Independence and a Call for Renewal.” The document begins with its own resolution: “If America is to remain what the Revolution envisioned in 1776, a nation governed by laws, then we the people must speak out, we must act and defend that vision.”
When the Schiller Institute was founded, it issued a “Declaration of the Inalienable Rights of Man”, which is almost identical to the Declaration of Independence. Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s proposal then, as now, was that the nations of the Global South, the now-expanded group of nations that had originally assembled 70 years ago in Bandung, Indonesia, then declaring themselves the Non-Aligned Movement, should co-opt the Declaration of Independence, temporarily abandoned by the United States itself, but still, as it will always be, universally valid. The principle, “that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—” is not a decree but a law of human nature. There are unalienable rights that can not be taken from any human being, because they are universal, and come from no state. These are the aspirations being spoken of in the policies associated with the BRICS nations, policies which have been given concrete physical-economic expression in works such as the 2014 EIR Special Report, “The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge”.
