STOP u.s. air base RAMSTEIN

well, the peace movement activists protest every year against the u.s. military air base ramstein in southwest germany in the federal state of rheinland-pfalz. why and why not against mocow / putin? because the russian occupying army left germany in 1994, because the u.s. occupying army did not leave germany yet, because this biggest u.s. military base outside usa still exists, because we do not like the u.s. drone wars steered from ramstein & stuttgart (germany), because this base is a real danger for us, because in case of war the opponents would probably attack this huge air base first, because we do not like wars at all, because PEACE is the way towards HAPPY FUTURE 😄

key note speaker at the main event in front of the airbase this year was the popular left party (die linke) politician oskar lafontaine.

peace march from the peace camp to the military air base

is it police or peace in our camp?

there are so many concerns about ukraine 💣

the cartoon above describes my current opinion best 

the dear readers of my blog probably know, when in ramstein, i like especially the peace camp. why? it is s.th. between a commune and a small music festival. i was happy to see many fellow activists from the previous years and happy to meet few new, too ... also nice, my favorite peace & truth movement musician, kilez more, was the whole weekend in the camp and performed sooo well at the stage out there ....

anything else?

• i liked the moment when our march from the peace camp reached the train station in ramstein-miesenbach where we were welcomed by the other protesters who came by train and then we continued together to the air base
• there was an anti-demo against us, too. all 4 german ruling parties called their youth sections to protest against us. the result? they were 25 people as the police reported the next day
• beautiful and clean lake bearenlochweiher (bear hole) in kindsbach in the pfälzerwald mountains
• city of sindelfingen with its timber-framed houses was a really nice place for lunch & sightseeing at our way home to munich
• (not planned, not soo nice) warmbronn (link same as in the above sindelfingen blog) was our short break at the way to ramstein-miesenbach

our fellow peace activists joined us at the train station ramstein-miesenbach

the anti-demo organized by all 4 german ruling parties via their youth organizations.

 alltogether 25 attendees behind this rondel 😀

city festival in ramstein-miesenbach should keep the local citizens, u.s. soldiers

and protesters far away from each other. probably a good idea, if you asked me 😇

back to the peace camp

kilez more on the stage
