Newsletter of the campaigne “Stopp Air Base Ramstein”, Germany What we must think of Donald Trump’s announcements, we have known at least since his statements about withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Syria. He’s lying through his teeth. But if he should ever take a right political step out of personal disgruntlement about Germany’s military spending, for reasons of revenge or for strategic orientation towards China, we welcome the withdrawal and celebrate it with a big party at Ramstein Air Base … Continue reading →

France will test missiles for its nuclear submarines in June 2020

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

According to the regional newspaper Ouest-France, the French army has planned missile testing between 9 and 11 June off the coast of Penmarc’h (Finistère/Brittany), like in 2016 or 2018. In spite of the global pandemic, France continues imperturbably to test weapons and swallow huge sums of money that will fail to meet the necessary budgets for health, education and the satisfaction of social needs. 1 missile “M 51” = 120 million euros, the gross salary of 7500 nurses. A French … Continue reading →

carcinogenic foam release by US Marines in Okinawa today

Unbelievable video of  US military poisoning in Okinawa today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNctNl4z2-o

Massive carcinogenic PFAS Foam release from the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.. There’s nothing the Okinawans can do to stop it. One teaspoon of this foam can poison a city’s drinking water reservoir. It genetically mutates living organisms and it never breaks down. It weakens immune systems during pandemics.  For more: https://www.militarypoisons.org/okinawa.html

The Amsterdam seminar on Euromilitarism (April 2019)

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Jan Schaake (translation Kees Kalkman) The Amsterdam seminar on Euromilitarism Starting from a basal criticism of American imperialism that absorbs the EU member states by way of NATO, or rather from a concern about the American Alleingang and the unreliability as an ally under Trump, there is more and more a louder call to set up a European army and a separate European arms industry, so that ‘Europe’ can take care for its own safety. That call is sometimes … Continue reading →

Pentagon admits 250 more bases are poisoned and spreads more lies

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The Pentagon’s Task Force Progress Report released on March 13, 2020 has the audacity to suggest that American military actions have satisfactorily addressed PFAS on military installations outside of the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth! The DOD has poisoned a variety of water sources in Germany, Japan, Guam, Diego Garcia, Honduras, and Belgium to name a few contaminated places.

Not a single major world media outlet reported on this outrageously false report. In classic form, the global warmakers published their long-awaited falsehoods when no one was paying attention..  The DOD announced that 250 new bases are poisoned, bringing the total to 651.

There are many lessons in my article below for people fighting American imperialism globally. The Pentagon is poisoning all of us while lying about it.  Grab the low-lying poisonous fruit as an effective form of resistance.
