Stop NATO: German Troops On Russian Border: last time over 20 million were killed

stop natoUS, British, Canadian and German troops are being deployed ‘in rotation’ in the Baltic States as NATO (read the USA and reluctant allies) further encircle Russia and deploy ‘anti-missile’ missiles just minutes from Moscow.

What the hell is going on?  Both sides have nuclear missiles enough to destroy human civilisation  (that’s us and our kids!) a hundred times over in a crisis or accident in a Nuclear War that wouldn’t last 2 days.do not press

One German minister  broke ranks and denounced this insane macho warmongering, and was quickly reprimanded. The NATO war exercises in Lithuania are especially dangerous as it directly borders the Kaliningrad part of Russia.

Nobody has forgotten that the last time German troops massed on the Russian border, under the Hitler dictatorship, over 20 million people ended up dead.

Of course the unarmed German troops are hardly a threat to Russia but they’re backed by the greatest force in history, and any  serious incident, accident or provocation could mean instant annihalation.

Police complained that more than 120 officers were injured (one had a bruise on his arm) and some 86 demonstrators were violently arrested during popular defence in the German capital which mercenary police complained was ‘the most aggressive and violent resistance in the last five years’.

Berlin state propaganda officials said in a statement Sunday ‘evil leftist protesters threw bottles, cobble stones and fireworks at the, attacking officers in full protective riot gear and hurt them with fists and kicks’.CmlHFnGWgAA9kck

They declined to say how many brave demonstrators were hurt by the 1000’s of ‘overzealous’ fully armed hysterical police on overtime double-pay. The day’s headlines went planetwide on commercial media ..”Anarchist  terrorists hurt  over120 nice innocent Policemen’‘.

The ”terrorists” were protesting against a total gentrification of their area which is destroying their progressive culture which has occupied some abandoned property for community use.

Top tips to avoid body-shaming: A guide for those socially impaired by masculinity

Image: Stop Street Harassment

I’ve had more than my fair share of unsolicited comments from fellow cyclists over the years, and they have one thing in common: They all come from men.

In 2014, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a condition that makes my nervous system send and receive messages improperly, making me tired after activities most people don’t find taxing. One of these activities is commuting long distances, which didn’t become a problem until I decided to go back to university in the middle of a transit-barren zone in North Vancouver, B.C.

0019b91ec91a0cabc9e511 British soldier interrogating Iraqi prisoners at the Shaibah Logistics Base

Despite its size and the number of years it took to compile, the Chilcot Report, published last Wednesday, made only passing mention to the more than 1000 legal cases lodged by Iraqi civilians, alleging torture and unlawful killing by the British military. These cases are not only still being heard by the British authorities but also the International Criminal Court. Moreover, mllions of pounds in damages have already been awarded – an indication that the claims were/are valid. And the implication of course is that if the courts are agreeing that unlawful killing and/or torture took place by the British forces in Iraq, then responsibility for what happened should not merely limited to front-line troops, but to their commanders and, ultimately, those in government who authorised the operations. And that would include the ministers in charge of Defence and…

Picture a day like this: You wake up and head to your job at a small company you own and manage together with your fellow workers, doing high-tech, advanced manufacturing that’s too specialized for bigger factories.

For lunch, you swing by a restaurant owned by another worker cooperative, this one a national-scale firm that serves millions of customers each year.bologna.jpg Continue reading “Where do Co-ops Drive the Economy and Most People Are Members?”
