Déclaration des animateurs de la campagne STOP RAMSTEIN en Allemagne, 6 juin 2020 GOOD BYE LES TROUPES US ! MOINS DE MILITAIRES, C’EST PLUS DE PAIX !

Mais si, en raison de son irritation personnelle concernant les dépenses militaires de l’Allemagne, pour des raisons de vengeance ou pour … Continue reading →

WALLS MUST FALL: Ending the Deadly Politics of Border Militarisation
Webinar June 17 – Walls Must Fall 
US-Soldaten in Bad Fallingbostel (TrÜbPl Bergen) und in Munster
Bitte in der jeweils eigenen Friedensszene weiterleiten !
moin
Heute 11.6.20 um 12.00 Uhr meldete NDR 1, dass 600 US-Soldaten nach Munster verlegt werden, um dort im Juli 2020 “Defender” fortzusetzen.
Bad Fallingbostels Bürgermeisterin Karin Thorey gibt bekannt, dass aktuell etwa 300 – 500 US-Soldaten im Camp Fallingbostel (TrÜbPlatz Bergen) “übrig geblieben” sind, die “wohl” noch einpacken müssen.
Das ist übrigens nur aufgefallen, weil (Shuttle-)-Busse mit Amis zu Kneipen-Touren in der Stadt Bad Fallingbostel gesichtet wurden. Toll wie Amis der lokalen Wirtschaft aus der Krise trinken.
Bleibt gesund und munter.

Goodbye US troops – Less military means more peace
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 →

Er lügt, wenn er den Mund aufmacht. Sollte er aber aus persönlicher Verstimmung über Deutschlands Militärausgaben, aus Rachegründen oder aber auch aus strategischer Orientierung Richtung China einmal einen richtigen politischen Schritt machen, dann begrüßen wir den Abzug und feiern ihn mit einer großen Party an der Air Base Ramstein (https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/us-truppenabzug-101.html).

France will test missiles for its nuclear submarines in June 2020
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.

Despite the danger of COVID 19, the US Military Continues War Practice in Europe and Pacific and plans for more in 2021
By Ann Wright
During the COVID-19 pandemic, not only will the U.S. military have the largest maritime military maneuvers in the world, with Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) coming to the waters off Hawaii August 17-31, 2020 bringing 26 nations, 25,000 military personnel, up to 50 ships and submarines and hundreds of aircraft in midst of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, but the U.S. Army is having a 6,000 person war game in June 2020 in Poland. The State of Hawaii has the most stringent measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, with a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all persons arriving in Hawaii — returning residents as well as visitors. This quarantine is required until at least June 30, 2020. 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.
