I made a commitment to stand with my signs “No to NATO” and “Canada Out of NATO” for one hour once a month for twelve months to oppose this aggressive, nuclear-armed alliance.

Baltic Sea militarisation – RAND study arms control
Below extremely useful and important information from Dr. Horst Leps Hamburg Characteristic of the current military and security situation in the Baltic Sea, is not only the fact that the opposing parties (east and west) hardly speak with each other anymore, but that there are also no initiatives in this direction.

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.

The Amsterdam seminar on Euromilitarism (April 2019)
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 →

The US’s nuclear war games
by Kate Hudson, March 27th, 2020 Last week the Pentagon pretty much called off the Defender-Europe 20 war games which involved 30,000 US troops landing in continental Europe – exercises which I described recently as the US practising an invasion of Europe. Covid-19 has forced the Pentagon to cut the exercises right back. As of March 13, they announced, all movement of personnel and equipment from the United States to Europe has ceased, in the interests of the health and … Continue reading →

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.
