stop u.s. air base ramstein

this year have 2 friends from munich + me again managed to come for a protest march against the u.s. military air base ✈ in ramstein, pfalz, germany => 3 days in the stopp ramstein peace camp in steinwenden + speaches in kaiserslautern + swimming in lake bärenlochweiher + ... 

my dears, will there be a huuuuge war in europe soon? WW3 with the 'collective west' and its north atlantic terror alliance (NATO) against russia (+ its allies)? why do i ask and think so? well, if i want to go skiing, i wouldnt buy a bicycle. i would buy ski, isnt it? the west tries to arm its member states asap as they should invest 5% of their respective GDP in military (equipment); there is massive russophobia from the EU + NATO lands representatives (von der leyen, kallas, merz, macron, tusk, ...) and their small dirty mainstream media; the laughable fallen drone at the leipzig airport which didnt destroy anything and nobody knows who is responsible for it was a reason enough that the german government (!!!) accused russia for that really small and minuscule incident like if that would by a russian military attack on germany. btw, what reason & advantage whould there be for russia? nothing at all ... if they would destroy the taurus rockets & ammunition factories or the leopard-2 production sites, than i could see benefits for russia, but a small stupid drone in leipzig? there are so many private drones which crash somewhere in the fields & mountains each and every day ... 

btw, what do you think, who was accused by the german government under the scholz administration after the nord stream 2 pipeline was blown up and thus the supply of cheap russian energy prevented? NO ONE! well, most likely because it was done / initiated by germany's official friend + occupation force, the usa, as the american pulitzer prize journalist seymour hersh published some time ago. yes, it is the same seymour hersh who exposed american massacre on civilians in my lai in 1968 (vietnam war) and abu ghraib torture scandal in 2004 aka the systemic abuse of iraqi prisoners by u.s. military personnel (iraq war) ... and yes, germany even didnt repaired that pipelines (3 out of 4 are destroyed, one still okay) and on top imposed american & EU sanctions on imports of russian oil + gas instead ... 

other rhetorics in germany + german speaking countries? unfortunatelly, the german defense secretary pistorius introduced a new term 'war competent' (kriegstüchtig). if you asked me, our society needs to become 'peace competent' (friedenstüchtig) instead. why? because we are all the human family (menschheitsfamilie ~ a term established by the swiss historian dr. daniele ganser) and also because today's weapons a far too good and could easily destroy all human life in densely populated western europe, couldnt they?

even if we were less peace activists in ramstein like in the previous years, it was a really nice event => enjoy few pictures 😉

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

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
