Mass demonstration at NATO war conference in Munich, Germany … and Naples, Athens, New York
On February 19, German anti-war and peace organizations held a mass action in Munich to oppose the annual Munich Security Conference (MSC). Anti-war activists describe it as a war conference and PR event for the aggressive NATO alliance, and a means to justify the billions spent on arms by Germany and the EU and their war missions, which they sell to the population as “peace missions.”
Some 3,000 people took part in a rally and march around Hotel Bayerischer Hof where the war conference was taking place. In the evening, activists held the Munich International Peace Conference at old city hall.
In the call for the protest, the anti-war activists reject increased military spending by Germany, the stationing of U.S. nuclear weapons on German territory, and the overall arms build-up in the EU. They state, “The increasing militarization of Germany and the EU does not serve peace, nor does the extremely dangerous course of confrontation, the war rhetoric and war manoeuvres against Russia and the People’s Republic of China, which can escalate militarily at any time and lead to war between the nuclear powers.
Placard: “Peace in Europe is only with, not against or without Russia”
“This policy of confrontation must end. Peace in Europe and in the world can only exist with and not against Russia and China. Instead of violent enforcement of great power and supremacy interests, disarmament and international cooperation would be the order of the day.”
They issued these specific demands:
“Downgrade instead of upgrade! Instead of wasting billions on rearmament and war preparations, our tax money must be invested in the social systems, health and education systems and in climate protection.
“We demand the termination of all foreign deployments of the Bundeswehr [German Armed Forces], Germany’s withdrawal from the NATO war alliance and all military structures of the EU. No participation in EU rearmament projects. No acquisition of armed drones.
“German support for wars of aggression that violate international law and illegal drone warfare conducted via the U.S. airbase in Ramstein must stop. All U.S. and NATO troop bases in Germany and all U.S. and NATO command centres must be closed.
“No more involvement in the U.S. nuclear war strategy. No purchase of U.S. fighter jets for the use of nuclear weapons stationed in Germany. The federal government must accede to the UN nuclear weapons ban treaty and terminate the stationing of U.S. nuclear weapons in Büchel.”
Germany ranks as the fourth largest arms exporter in the world, they point out, contributing to conflict and wars around the world.
They also point out German and EU responsibility for the global refugee crisis by contributing to wars, climate change, poverty and other problems that cause millions to flee their homelands, and then refusing asylum to all but a few seeking refuge. They write:
“Unjust economic and trade relations, sanctions and war are destroying the livelihoods of countries in the Global South. But Germany and the EU are sealing themselves off, driving back refugees illegally in violation of human rights, and allowing thousands to drown in the Mediterranean every year. We cannot accept that.
The Jacinda regime is clearly a fan of it, however — yesterday it announced it is dispatching 50 New Zealand Defence Force troops to Europe “to assist with the logistics of moving weapons and aid into Ukraine.”
New Zealand will also donate an additional $13 million “to support the United Kingdom in procuring equipment for the Ukrainian military as it fights off Russia’s invasion that began in February.” War is us!
Germans are uncomfortable with being associated with Nazis – but not Jacinda. What a surprise …
Jacinda’s response to send equipment to the Ukraine Nazis shows what an ignoramus she is, but in reality she is actually just a puppet of Uncle Klaus and Nato. The conflict in Ukraine has been in existence since 2014 with 14,000 civilian deaths, so where was the Jacinda regime’s concern for them.
Arch-warmonger Hillary probably gave her a call as well.
Jabcinda, being associated with nazis; she is ‘excited’ – another opportunity to distract NEW ZEALANDERS from the reality of what is happening in OUR COUNTRY.
For jabcinda – “Lets focus our attention on Ukraine”; and, give away more money, we do not have to give away – yes, Grant ……….. your “boss” keeps increasing NEW ZEALAND’s debt.
jabcinda, and her support for the nazis ………… along with the rest of the non-thinking idiots like bojo, sleepy joe, macron, trudeau, et al. These ‘leaders’ are supporting the nazi regime in Ukraine, and openly. What happened to the so called outcome of a “no more nazi movement, following the Nuremberg Trials” ??
Goodness, when will the populace wake up to the lies and the fraud – by the politicians, the msm, and the neocons (and, for covid – big pharma, with gates, fauci and their elk, following).
To digress – the detail of the truth is out there, proving the lies of the politicians and the msm; to list a few, that have been proven true and factual :
Bay of Pigs, Bay of Tonkin, USS Liberty, 9/11, 7/7, Boston Marathon, et al;
then, lets get to the countries of Vietnam, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, et al;
and, the hoax of the millennium – covid 19 (and, “vaccinations are safe”);
and, now Ukraine.
The Point – The politicians and msm lied on all of the above; how can we now believe the politicians and msm, now ??
Back to jabcinda ………….. NEW ZEALAND should spend the $13 million, she has allocated to Ukraine, on those in need in NEW ZEALAND, and not on a ‘renegade actor’, pushing the Nato clowns ever closer to WW3.
Again, wake up people ………….. the “clock is getting closer to midnight”, and jabcinda is adding “her value” by following the dictate of the neocons’ demands (herr schwab, perhaps, included – after all, the woman is a herr schwab graduate of his ‘young global leaders’).
The horse has been Schwabbed.
