The US’s nuclear war games

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

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 →

Pentagon admits 250 more bases are poisoned and spreads more lies

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

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.
