NATO Vergiftet Fisch in Deutschland

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Von Pat Elder, Nein zum Krieg – Nein zur NATO, 11. September 2020 In weiten Teilen Europas haben NATO-Militärstützpunkte hunderttausende Liter giftiger Feuerlöschschäume, die eine Vielzahl von PFAS-Chemikalien enthalten, während routinemäßiger Brandbekämpfungsübungen verwendet und nachlässig entsorgt. Die wässrigen filmbildenden Schäume (AFFF) werden seit den frühen 1970er Jahren verwendet und konnten in den Boden eindringen und Grundwasser, Boden und Oberflächenwasser zu kontaminieren. Die daraus resultierende Verschmutzung bedeutet eine schwere europäische Krise der öffentlichen Gesundheit, obwohl nur wenige darauf achten. Es wurde … Continue reading →

Con nuestros periódicos y reportajes centrados en la explosión mortal de infecciones de covid-19 en todo el país, y Trump inflando la supuesta amenaza de China en su esfuerzo desesperado por evitar su derrota en Noviembre, las armas nucleares de EE.UU. y la OTAN que se acumulan en Europa han pasado desapercibidas. Esto supone un gran peligro pues las tensiones con Rusia siguen aumentando. La OTAN se ha estado preparando para la guerra con sus ejercicios militares “de defensa” en toda Europa. El secretario de Defensa, Mark Esper, participó en un ejercicio simulado de guerra en el que los Estados Unidos “lanzó un ataque nuclear simulado contra Rusia”.

Trigger Fingers, Nuclear NATO, and Building Back Better

pressenza.com 20.07.2020 – Boston, USA – Joseph Gerson

With our newspapers and press reports focused on the deadly explosion of covid-19 infections across the country and Trump inflating threats by posed China in his desperate effort to avoid defeat in November, the U.S/NATO nuclear weapons build up across Europe has gone unremarked. That too is dangerous. Tensions with Russia continue to build. NATO has been preparing for war with its “Defender” military exercises across Europe. And, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper participated in a war game exercise in which the U.S. “launched a simulated nuclear strike against Russia.”

Defund militarism and invest in peacemakers if conflict resolution is truly the objective.

On the other hand, military air traffic is growing. On Friday, August 28, six US Air Force B-52 strategic bombers flew over the thirty NATO countries in North America and Europe in a single day, flanked by eighty fighter-bombers from allied countries in different … Continue reading →

PFAS is more prevalent in food than water

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by
There could be more PFAS contamination in this seafood platter than drinking water containing 70 parts per trillion of the toxins every day for 80 years.
The Department of Defense is engaged in a campaign to convince the public that the PFAS contamination it has caused on military bases and in surrounding regions around the world is being cleaned up and that it is safeguarding public health by complying with the EPA’s lifetime health advisory of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) in drinking water. For the most part, both claims are false.

Political and Security Implications of a New NATO Strategy in the Making

BERLIN (IDN) – You could be excused for having missed the fact that NATO is in the process of updating its nuclear strategy, including substantial and significant steps. These include technologically more ambitious weapons that can be used more easily. This is the implementation of a decision made at the NATO Warsaw Summit in 2016 to revise nuclear strategy.

Its nuclear policies.   Since the end of totalitarian communism, unlike the Warsaw Pact which was disbanded, … Continue reading →

Campaign Against a New Cold War Launched and Gathers Immediate Support

A New Cold War against China is against the interests of humanity We note the increasingly aggressive statements and actions being taken by the US government in regard to China.

Niederländische Armee wegen Sozialaufstand auf Antilleninsel Curaçao mobilisiert

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Willemstad. Nach mehreren übereinstimmenden Berichten hat die Regierung der Niederlande Soldaten auf der Antilleninsel Curaçao mobilisiert. Infolge der Corona-Pandemie ist es zu massiven sozialen Verwerfungen auf der Insel gekommen. Vergangene Woche war es zwei Tage in Folge zu sozialen Protesten gekommen, die sich zu einem Aufstand entwickelten. Vor allem Jugendliche und Müllwerker wandten sich gegen angekündigte Sozialkürzungen. Protestierende hatten Barrikaden errichtet, Feuer gelegt und den Regierungspalast gestürmt. Dies berichtet heute das Lateinamerika-Portal amerika21.
Curaçao leidet heftig unter den Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie sowie auch unter der ökonomischen Belastung infolge der wirtschaftlichen und institutionellen Krise im benachbarten Venezuela.
