PRESSEMITTEILUNG 23.10. 2020 Warnung vor Weltraumrüstung Bremer Friedensforum: Pandemie wird für Militarisierung missbraucht Bremen. Das Bremer Friedensforum warnt vor einer neuen Runde im Rüstungswettlauf. Während viele administrative und medizinische Einrichtungen der Staaten damit befasst sind, die Corona-Pandemie zu bekämpfen und dafür riesige Steuermittel eingesetzt werden müssen, beschließt die NATO, ein eigenes Weltraumzentrum einzurichten. Dieses militärische Weltraumzentrum soll beim Luftwaffenkommando in Ramstein, nämlich auf der dort befindlichen Air Base der USA angesiedelt werden. Mit diesem Schritt der NATO soll die Rüstung … Continue reading →

According to the EU Recovery Fund, Italy should receive € 209 billion over the next six years, of which about 81 is for grants and 128 for loans to be repaid with interest. In the meantime, … Continue reading →

NATO Poisons Fish in Germany

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by
I have documented the use of toxic fire-fighting foam at more than a dozen NATO bases in Germany and I’ve analyzed the levels of one poison in particular – PFOS – in the rivers near these bases and in the fish caught near these bases.  NATO allows the toxic chemicals to contaminate groundwater and surface water. PFOS never breaks down, so it likely will sicken people forever.

Von Pat Elder, Nein zum Krieg – Nein zur NATO, 11. September 2020 In weiten Teilen Europas haben NATO-Militärstützpunkte hunderttausende Liter giftiger Feuerlöschschäume, die eine Vielzahl von PFAS-Chemikalien enthalten, während routinemäßiger Brandbekämpfungsübungen verwendet und nachlässig entsorgt. Die wässrigen filmbildenden Schäume (AFFF) werden seit den frühen 1970er Jahren verwendet und konnten in den Boden eindringen und Grundwasser, Boden und Oberflächenwasser zu kontaminieren. Die daraus resultierende Verschmutzung bedeutet eine schwere europäische Krise der öffentlichen Gesundheit, obwohl nur wenige darauf achten. Es wurde … Continue reading →

Dedos en los gatillos, la OTAN nuclear y una reconstrucción mejor

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

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.”

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 →

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.
