MSC 2026 = the yearly new wars planning event in munich

the MSC, munich security conference, also known as sicherheitskonferenz, SiKo and among peace activists especially under its original name wehrkundetagung, which means military issues conference. if you just read the list of attendees (it used to be simpler & better, maybe they'll update it later on) and the list of sponsors (boening, lockhead martin, diehl, heckler & koch, palantir, airbus, j.p.morgan, MBDA, rheinmetall, ...)

initiative #2, odeonsplatz

2 key points from a former demo of this initiative:

 peace instead of NATO and peace instead of friedrich merz 😄

well, the attendees inside their closed rooms promote weapons & wars. outside, we activist in the cold munich february rain, want to stop NATO + stop wars and hope for peace on earth 🙏 

there have been 4 major protests / initiatives due to MSC:

• the traditional peace movement started traditionally at karlsplatz stachus, walked through the streets of munich to the marienplatz, where the closing rally (with maybe 3,000 attendees) was.
• the new peace movement which was formed 2014 against the coup de etat + war in ukraine and developed to anti-WHO-and-state-orchestrated-corona-measures started this year at the odeonsplatz. then it walked through the streets of munich back to odeonsplatz for its final rally (top speaker was the pastor eugen drewermann) (maybe 3,000 attendees)
• there was a a quite small pro-ukraine and anti-russian demo in front of the opera at max-josephs-platz, too .... (maybe 500 attendees)
• AND A HUUUUGE demo with abt 100,000 mostly iranian attendees advocating for freedom + democracy + shah reza pahlavi (schah auf DE) in IRAN. there were many mostly big + expensive cars with iranian flags from many places in germany, few from switzerland / netherlands / italy / france and even from great britain. well, lets hope these symphatetic and highly civilized persian people will get their freedom (freedom of choice?) and not the standard american style democracy recently rolled out in iraq, afghanistan, libya, ukraine, syria,
