Dedos en los gatillos, la OTAN nuclear y una reconstrucción mejor
pressenza.com 22.07.2020 – Boston, EE.UU. – Joseph Gerson
Con nuestros periódicos y reportajes centrados en la explosión mortal de infecciones de covid-19 en todo el país, y Trump inflando la supuesta amenaza de China en su esfuerzo desesperado por evitar su derrota en Noviembre, las armas nucleares de EE.UU. y la OTAN que se acumulan en Europa han pasado desapercibidas. Esto supone un gran peligro pues las tensiones con Rusia siguen aumentando. La OTAN se ha estado preparando para la guerra con sus ejercicios militares “de defensa” en toda Europa. El secretario de Defensa, Mark Esper, participó en un ejercicio simulado de guerra en el que los Estados Unidos “lanzó un ataque nuclear simulado contra Rusia”.

Trigger Fingers, Nuclear NATO, and Building Back Better
pressenza.com 20.07.2020 – Boston, USA – Joseph Gerson
With our newspapers and press reports focused on the deadly explosion of covid-19 infections across the country and Trump inflating threats by posed China in his desperate effort to avoid defeat in November, the U.S/NATO nuclear weapons build up across Europe has gone unremarked. That too is dangerous. Tensions with Russia continue to build. NATO has been preparing for war with its “Defender” military exercises across Europe. And, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper participated in a war game exercise in which the U.S. “launched a simulated nuclear strike against Russia.”

von Werner ruf Wie weit noch bis zum nächsten Großen Krieg? Die amerikanischen Atomwissenschaftler, die seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs die „Weltuntergangsuhr“ betreiben, haben abermals den Zeiger bis zum Beginn des nächsten Atomkriegs weiter vorgestellt: Es bleiben noch 100 Sekunden. Dafür sind sicherlich die dank Digitalisierung extrem verkürzten Vorwarnzeiten verantwortlich, aber auch, so heben sie hervor, die jüngst erfolgte Kündigung des Verbotsvertrags von Mittelstrecken-Raketen (INF) durch die USA und die von diesen angekündigte Nicht-Verlängerung des New-Start-Vertrags, der die Aufstellung von … Continue reading →

War Is A Disaster, Not A Game
Defund militarism and invest in peacemakers if conflict resolution is truly the objective.
As members of Veterans for Peace, an organization of U.S. military veterans and supporters who advocate for peace, we couldn’t disagree more with the Aug. 14 Civil Beat article “Why Militaries Should Play Games With Each Other” by a Department of Defense employee at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and a DoD RAND contractor.

The Reason Why Italy Deploys its Fighters in Lithuania
by Manlio Dinucci (il Manifesto, 1 September 2020) In Europe civil air traffic is expected to drop by 60% this year compared to 2019, due to Covid-19 restrictions, putting more than 7 million jobs at risk. On the other hand, military air traffic is growing. On Friday, August 28, six US Air Force B-52 strategic bombers flew over the thirty NATO countries in North America and Europe in a single day, flanked by eighty fighter-bombers from allied countries in different … Continue reading →

PFAS is more prevalent in food than water
There could be more PFAS contamination in this seafood platter than drinking water containing 70 parts per trillion of the toxins every day for 80 years.
The Department of Defense is engaged in a campaign to convince the public that the PFAS contamination it has caused on military bases and in surrounding regions around the world is being cleaned up and that it is safeguarding public health by complying with the EPA’s lifetime health advisory of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) in drinking water. For the most part, both claims are false.

BERLIN (IDN) – You could be excused for having missed the fact that NATO is in the process of updating its nuclear strategy, including substantial and significant steps. These include technologically more ambitious weapons that can be used more easily. This is the implementation of a decision made at the NATO Warsaw Summit in 2016 to revise nuclear strategy.

PFAS and The Bomb
Inextricably linked existential threats to humanity. by Pat Elder In Greek mythology, the tale of Daedalus and his son, Icarus provides a lesson that humanity has never learned. Daedalus created wings from feathers and wax. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun for fear that the wax would melt. Icarus took off, exhilarated with the invention, and soared exuberantly toward the sun. His wings fell apart, and Icarus fell to his death. Remarkable technologies may escape … Continue reading →

Invitation to sign an Appeal to the left and progressive forces in the European Parliament
Deadline 25.08.2020 Dear friends, On 23 July, the vast majority of the Left Group (GUE/NGL) in the European Parliament approved, together with the social democratic (S&D), Green and rightist (EPP, Renew) parties, a resolution which criticizes the ‘European deal’ of 21 July on the Recovery Fund and the multi-annual European budget. There are indeed plenty of reasons to criticize the proposal of the European Council, but the resolution of the European Parliament also contains elements which are unacceptable from a progressive point … Continue reading →
Article on incinerating PFAS article on incinerating PFAS
The US is incinerating is leftover stockpiles of the most lethal types of firefighting foams containing PFAS. The process is deadly to surrounding communities because the materials typically can’t be destroyed by incineration. I had a conversation with a retired Environmental Protection Agency official in New York last week and she told me there have been no shipments of retired PFAS foam from NATO bases in Europe to the U.S. for incineration. So, tens of thousands of the most … Continue reading →

WHAT’S NATO UP TO?
by Rae Street August 2020 NATO was once described as the ‘military arm of the US empire’. And one might add ‘nuclear empire’. As we remember Hiroshima on 6th August 1945, the horrendous suffering which was brought about on that day to the people of Japan and, later, on the 9th August, Nagasaki day, it is worth thinking about NATO’s policies and, in particular. Its nuclear policies. Since the end of totalitarian communism, unlike the Warsaw Pact which was disbanded, … Continue reading →
