No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Von Frank Schmälzle BAYREUTH. Die US-Bürgerrechtsbewegung Code Pink erhält den Wilhelmine-von Bayreuth-Preis für Humanität und Toleranz. Die Preisverleihung findet am 15. April statt. Das hat der Stadtrat am Mittwochabend mit 23 zu 18 Stimmen beschlossen. Code Pink war in den vergangenen Tagen in die Kritik geraten. Und damit auch die Stadt, die die umstrittene Bürgerrechtsbewegung für ihre Friedensarbeit auszeichnet. Leider ein Bezahlangebot! http://www.nordbayerischer-kurier.de/nachrichten/stadtrat-code-pink-bekommt-toleranz-preis_450994

New York Times on NATO as it Approaches Warsaw Summit/Some Developments in the U.S.

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Hello Friends, On this side of the Atlantic there’s very little mainstream reporting about NATO, certainly almost nothing about NATO member Turkey serving as a corridor for fighters and arms to reach ISIS in Syria or criticism of U.S. and NATO support for Turkey after the downing of the Russian warplane after being over Turkey at most for 17 seconds, if at all. So, it’s significant that today’s New York Times ran a ¾ page article titled “NATO Nations No … Continue reading →
