No to NATO Activities in London
by Kate Hudson, CND Secretary General and member of the ICC of “No to war – no to NATO”
Hundreds of peace activists from across Europe gathered in central London on 30th November to challenge the NATO war machine and discuss alternatives to current policies which are taking the world closer to war. ‘The New World Disorder’ was the counter-summit organised by the No to War – No to NATO network, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Stop the War Coalition. In a packed hall draped with banners from our movement, participants welcomed the veteran writer and broadcaster Tariq Ali, well-known for his pivotal role in the campaign against the Vietnam War. He was joined in the opening plenary by Ludo de Brabander from Vrede vzw in Belgium, Lindsey German from the Stop the War Coalition, UK, and Kristine Karch from the No to War – No to NATO network in Germany. Arielle Denis, the French IPB and anti-nuclear activist, well-known to many in the audience, was in the chair for the session.

You wanna close bases? You wanna shut down NATO?
There are lessons in the article below that address a loss of human dignity and honor at the hands of an oppressive, ruthless American empire that is poisoning people around the world. The similarities between Germany and Japan are striking 74 years after 1945. People will rise up when they learn they’re being poisoned.

What’s in your water? Dems cave on military contamination
Another piece from me.. And more lessons for my European comrades in this revolutionary struggle. This one does the work the New York Times and the Washington Post weren’t interested in covering. It documents how the Democrats are a war and poison party and shows that the Dems are every bit as despicable as the Republicans.

International Days of Action Against Sanctions& Economic War
Call for International Days of Action Against | Sanctions& Economic War: March 13 – 15, 2020 | Sanctions Kill! Sanctions are War! End Sanctions Now!
Sanctions are imposed by the United States and its junior partners against countries that resist their agendas. They are a weapon of Economic War, resulting in chronic shortages of basic necessities, economic dislocation, chaotic hyperinflation, artificial famines, disease, and poverty. In every country, the poorest and the weakest – infants, children, the chronically ill and the elderly – suffer the worst impact of sanctions. https://sanctionskill.org/impact
