Friends, Following on my brief overview of the U.S. Pivot to Asia and the Pacific and Peiter’s presentation about nuclear weapons moderization and the F-35, I though the following article from tomorrow’s Japan Times might be of interest to you.

Donilon on NATO & Trans-Atlantic & Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreements
Friends, Apologies if it seems like you are being barraged by e-mails. When we met in Gent, I made reference to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the U.S. effort to create the world’s most intense free trade area, in part to wed Korea, Japan and other Asia-Pacific nations – but NOT China – not only to the U.S. economy, but to further integrate these societies.

Friends, I thought that you might find the following disturbing article about U.S. simulated nuclear attacks on North Korea as part of the current war games of interest. I don’t normally look at the Washington Free Beacon, but in seeking to confirm the veracity of an e-mail message, I was channeled there by the conservative Weekly Standard,. There seem to be enough stories- including Business Week- on the web to confirm the following report and statements by Pentagon press secretary … Continue reading →
The bodies of the Network
What is the network? “No to war – No to NATO” is an international network of groups and organisations from a wide political spectrum united in their opposition to NATO, NATO’s wars in Afghanistan, Lybia, etc. and NATO’s increasingly aggressive global role. It is open to all groups and organisations who share our opposition to NATO, as long as they do not support oppressive regimes or ideologies, and do not practice or endorse racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. … Continue reading →

an article by kristine karch in the newspaper Newspaper_Europe_in_the_NATO_Strategy.pdf Women around the world are fighting for equal rights, against violence, suppression and exclusion. In the analysis of the causes of war feminists identify the patriarchy – the dominance of masculine values within society – along with the power structures of capitalism, racism and militarism as the driving forces. Male values which are close-knitted to hierarchy, rivalry and competition result in consequential violence. So called female values like concern and reconciliation … Continue reading →

Gipfel-Beschlüsse stoßen auf Kritik aus der Friedensbewegung Die NATO hat sich nach Ansicht des Netzwerks Friedenskooperative durch die Verletzung der Grundrechte beim Gipfel als angebliches Wertebündnis für Frieden, Freiheit und Demokratie erneut diskreditiert. “Die Gastgeber des NATO-Gipfels präsentierten sich als Polizeistaaten, die das Demonstrationsrecht systematisch aushebeln. Die Bundeskanzlerin und der französische Präsident sollten sich künftig mit Kritik gegenüber dem Vorgehen russischer oder chinesischer Sicherheitskräfte zurückhalten”, erklärt Netzwerk-Geschäftsführer Manfred Stenner. Die Friedenskooperative führt auch die Ausschreitungen militanter Demonstranten zu einem großen Teil auf die repressive Vorgehensweise bereits seit der … Continue reading →
Kritische Offiziere und Unteroffiziere fordern eine neue Sicherheitsarchitektur
Die im Arbeitskreis DARMSTÄDTER SIGNAL – dem kritischen Forum für Staatsbürger in Uniform (Ak DS) zusammengeschlossenen Angehörigen der Bundeswehr nehmen zu den aktuellen Feierlichkeiten anlässlich 60 Jahre NATO wie folgt Stellung: Das Ziel jeder Sicherheitspolitik muss die Aufrechterhaltung des Friedens sein. Der Einsatz der Bundeswehr zur Verfolgung, Durchsetzung und Sicherung ökonomischer oder politischer Interessen ist rechtswidrig. Friede ist auf der Basis gesicherter Verteidigung möglich und auf Dauer ausschließlich mit überzeugenden, auf gegenseitige Toleranz gerichteten friedfertigen Absichten sowie friedlichen Mitteln erreichbar. … Continue reading →
60 years are more than enough. No to War and No to NATO
The international network No to NATO was found under this motto in Stuttgart in October 2009. More than 650 organizations from over 30 countries signed the establishing call, the “Stuttgart Appeal”. They formed the network, which prepared and executed the international congress, the great demonstration, the camp village and other actions of civil disobedience in Strasbourg and Baden-Baden in April 2010. The celebrations of NATO should not go along without protest. Because NATO stands for war and armament, for nuclear … Continue reading →
