Reading through the latest inhuman wars and totalitarian government directions in Germany and around the so called western value hemisphere, I can’t eat as much as I have to puke. And that is an understatement and trivialization, my apologies.
Changes are noted at the bottom.
Never Again
All I desire is an end of the ongoing wars around the world, the end of enabling and performing state sanctioned mass-murder & plundering. This requires an actual participatory democracy, a free discourse (freedom of speech), i.e. fully unpunished and even encouraged expression of thoughts, allowing the public to form a consensus (scientific approach). This assumes that the majority has no interest in leading warfare, getting their hands bloody and forcing people to die, including their own – if free and not controlled by state nor corporations (-> fascism, opposing liberalism). I have no interest in the destabilization of the state, not considering me a threat to national security, nor do I call for violence. On the contrary, I call for peace and would love if we all can realign with the original visions of Jesus of Nazareth regardless of religious orientation or ethnicity – strengthening our well being, our state & becoming peaceful again.
When I name countries, nations, I don’t refer to their ordinary people (like myself) but their governments and political leader.
It might be worth referencing the Great Fire of Rome in July 64 (AD) to blame Christians & initiate their state persecution (Tacitus) and the Reichstragsbrand in February 1933 to blame the opposition and fully strengthening the Nazis. Just two false-flag events of many.
World War 2 claimed ~80 million lives, including losses of the Soviet Union of 27 million, as well as China’s ~20 million. How was post World War 1 beaten down Germany able to even rise and ignite the subsequent World War? Privatization of public companies and foreign funding (US & UK), guaranteed oil/gasoline supply and what not. Sadly a truly World War effort, impossible to finance & sustain by Germany alone. The German people surely embraced the artificial economic wunder after the depression, creating a strong believe in the NSDAP Nazi party. The consistent war mongering including Feindbilder (d of the enemy, e.g. Jews, Russians, ..), declaration of their exceptionalism (German ubermensch) and fear to oppose the ruling party allowed the unthinkable to happen.
The 9/11 events started on 2001-09-11 kicked off western state-sponsored (anti) terror campaigns, causing millions of lives, including 500,000 Iraqi Children. Another series of atrocities of many.
Isn’t all of this suffering enough to scream NEVER AGAIN?
Nuclear Threat
Today the United States (US) still has one of its biggest non-US military bases in Germany, and is deployed around the world. The US even shares their nuclear weapons with Turkey, Netherlands, Italy and Germany. To my understanding Germany is violating the 2+4 Treaty as it is illegal for Germany to operate (or train on) these weapons (further readings & here).
It is a tragedy how the once allies, US, UK, France and the Soviet Union (Russia) became enemies in the cold war. The Soviet Union suffered the most losses in World War 2 and shouldered most of the heavy lifting winning against Nazi Germany. But it might be not surprising if you read about Operation Unthinkable (and here). A plan of the UK developed in May 1945 at the end of World War 2 to start World War 3 to … kill all Russians. Who needs enemies if you have allies like that huh? Add Operation Dropshot planned in 1949 to this list and what-not. We were just told to fight communism, but maybe it was just about controlling Europe all along?
The Soviet Union dissolved 1988-91, ending communism and the cold-war era while given assurance (more details) that NATO won’t expand eastwards (also via the 2+4 Treaty. Broken by the US in 1994). Russia offered themselves to be partners to the west and its bid to join NATO was (also) rejected. May dear reader make up their own judgement about such treatment.
In 2018, the US nuclear weapons policy (Nuclear Posture Review, NPR) included first use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear attack (page VII and also covered here) and in 2022 the US NPR explicitly started to allow first use of nuclear weapons, not limited to retaliatory strikes as before!
Hence all nuclear powers need to implement the No-First-Use (NFU) of nuclear weapons policy ASAP! This especially due to zero warning times considering ultrasonic rockets and eastward extended NATO borders. The current situation is insane, to say the least.
Notable are the deployed US nonstrategic warheads, i.e. so called tactical nuclear weapons intended to be used on the battlefield.
Controlling & Suppressing the Opposition
As introduced, ordinary people usually don’t desire to fight other people’s war, nor do they love to give up their (regular) live, send their children into their own demise nor wish to be bombed into non-existence. It is a quite heavy lifting to re-program the people to not only accept but desire such situation, see notes about the Great Fire of Rome, Reichtagsbrand, World War 2 and 9/11 mentioned above.
This concept was also stated at the Nuremberg trials by Hermann Goering in his cell on the evening of 18 April 1946
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war,” Goering shrugged. “Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.”
“There is one difference,” I pointed out. “In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.”
“Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
We all had to learn how hate speech laws began to rule against free speech in Canada and the European Union (EU). I understand the points laid out in pro-hate-speech-law papers like this, as I also don’t like to read discrimination pamphlets or see actual anti-semitic campaigns against Arabs, Palestinians or Jews. However, the classification of what denotes hate-speech is fuzzy and suppressing people’s ability to express their goals & ideologies. In short, the risk of becoming a tool to cut-off undesired non-government views is high and might be even intentional.
I well remember the times where the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) actually defended groups of questionable free-speech (Neo-Nazis, etc) to defend freedom of speech as a universal right itself. IMHO the finest and strongest hour of freedom within a strong society. And no, neither the ACLU nor I support the Nazi’s or other inhumane causes. The ACLU has sadly abandoned their neutrality stance since May 2022.
The US couldn’t properly implement the hate-speech agenda due to their 1st amendment yet, but still putting people and organizations on their list of potential threats of national security (DHS, 9/11, …).
Germany just started a new campaign lead by the Verfassungsschutz and Ministry of Justice, much in the spirit of the Bush doctrine “if you are not with us, you are against us“, “Those who mock the state should be confronted by a strong state” (Faeser, Press-Conference). A true Orwellian law to Further Democracy (draft) threatening and silencing voices of opposition by declaring them extremists & acting against them (Keilani/NZZ) – the opposite of its title. The draft is fuzzy without quality, i.e. lack of norms, rules and clarity. They are not even shy to tackle pre-crime, remove state employed people, control (political) financial transactions, etc etc – welcome to 1984 2024. No, this is not a mission to fight unlawful & criminal extremists, we already have enough laws & instruments for this cause – this extends the reach of the state to criminalize individuals for thought-crimes and opposition. I am sure there are similar efforts in other countries within our western hemisphere…
Bottom line, control the populous by fear and threat to lose the little they may still have to stay in power and extend their reach. Just a necessity to push through their own bloody agenda & criminalize an opposition actually calling for my body my choice regarding medical procedures (-> WHO) or – the devil forbids – peace & negotiations – No To Wars.
The War With Russia
Germany lost its post second World War peace stance since the illegal bombing of Yugoslavia around 1999 (Law UMICH) even utilizing highly toxic depleted Uranium and cluster bombs – and here (Wiki), here (Pinos), here (RFE/RL), here (Chomsky), here (Chossudovsky), here (Klarenberg), here (summary) – despite the Sebrenica massacre against Bosniaks and killing of Serbs. AFAIK Germany’s 1st official military aggression since Nazis ruled this country, but this time lead by the former peace parties of Germany, SPD & Greens, following their masters of the US under the umbrella of NATO. Since this war was also not UN sanctioned, Germany probably violated another 2+4 Treaty element (peace obligation, no war going from Germany) besides the arrangement with nuclear weapons.
Today the west deliberately heads towards an all out war against Russia, not shy of sending weapons to the proxy war party of Ukraine to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, destroying energy supply (NS2 .. and here) and Europe’s economy, as well as even asking for nuclear weapons. A long planned action since before 2014, see below. All this being totally illegal by all standards of German and EU law, i.e. warmongering and getting involved in another countries war – but I am just a layman.
Europe seems to follow blindly against their core peace & economic interest. Russia once even expressed their desire to join the EU and NATO, but was refused (see above).
Where are our Christian Values? You shall not kill! Are these the manifestations of our so called western values?

The people aren’t being told about the Maidan Coup starting in January 2014, lead by a right-wing Neo-Nazi minority and financed by the usual US suspects as admitted by US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland – planned ahead months earlier, even the current POTUS & family before and thereafter is related – causing 8 years of suffering of the people in the Donbas & the opposition.
Even after the Minsk 2 agreement from Feb 12 2015, the attacks & fights continued. Around November 2022, former Ukrainian President Petro Poroschenko, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and then French President François Hollande admitted that the Minsk 2 agreement wasn’t worth its paper, not designed to actually resolve the conflict and bring peace but to prop up Ukraine (for the final conflict, war with Russia).
Just months before the direct war started, in December 2021 Russia failed to receive guarantees from the US and NATO to have its own borders secured by reinstating the 1990 NATO pledge to not expand beyond East German borders. NATO didn’t want to stop its expansion.
Around Feb 19th 2022, Ukraine military intensified shelling and murdering of the people in the Donbas and didn’t stop on Feb 21st 2022 after Russia recognized the regions (see below) and pledged protection. OSCE reports of their Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM):

- 2022-02-21 Daily Report 40/2022
- 2022-02-22 Daily Report 41/2022
- 2022-02-23 Daily Report 42/2022
On Feb 19th 2022, Ukraine’s Zelensky gave a speech on the Munich Security Conference, where he pushed for a military intervention or at least support while also mentioning to regret giving up nuclear weapons (back to Russia). Zelensky later even called for nuclear preemptive strikes.
On Feb 21st 2022 Russia gave security guarantees to the Donbas Republics and moved its military into their territory while the Ukraine continued its attacks against the Donbas region.
On 2022-02-22 NATO (US, UK and EU) started with economic sanctions against Russia
On Feb 23rd 2022 Russia started its attack against the Ukrainian military forces.

- This was addressed by Putin during the UN’s 8974th Security Council meeting
- 2022-02-23/24 Putin’s 2nd Address (cached archive.org)
From here on, the official western media landscape was all aligned pro Ukraine and against Russia. Germany outlawed using the letter ‘Z’ as an expression in support of Russia. Besides all the many sanctions against Russia before and after the war started, Germany also added another new law criminalizing the denial of war crimes. Both conflicting parties, Ukraine/NATO and Russia, accused each other of horrible war crimes since – where mostly the Ukraine/NATO accusations were published in the western press.
End of March 2022, Russia and Ukraine worked out a common draft for a peace agreement in Istanbul. However, this agreement was never signed by Ukraine – rumored to be pressured to be dropped by the UK in April 2022 (also stated by Putin in the TCN interview, Feb 2023). Sadly the west did not want to take their chance to save hundred of thousands of lives, see also important details in Schulenburg, Funke, Kujat: Peace For Ukraine.
On Sep 9th, 2022 Russia admitted the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic, the Zaporizhia Region and the Kherson Region into the Russian Federation.
All violently ended live regardless whether they are from Ukrainian, Donbas and Russia is tragic & wrong. Ukrainians are forced to fight on the front at almost any age while Russia applied limited conscription. My heart goes with the families & relatives. It would be good if the people of Ukraine could resist the path to further destruction and make a direct peace agreement with Russia.
Bottom line, NATO forces are working relentlessly to destroy the European relations with Russia while increasing its own influence. This naturally weakens Europe and is against its own natural interest, which is to maintain good relations to all our partners. Germany and Europe shares a common culture & heritage with Russia as well with the newly founded US. The whole enemy stance against Russia since World War 2 seems to be artificially created, is unnatural and inhumane.

The War against Palestine
As if the Ukraine/Russia war isn’t enough after inciting the still ongoing war with Syria and other conflicts in the middle east and Africa – on 2023-10-07 Hamas of Gaza/Palestine had an uprising against Israel, attacking the Gaza border and shot around 5000 rockets. They caused suffering and death to military and civilians.
Normal Finkelstein shared his initial views about this tragedy and here and here.
The aftermath – as decided by Israel – is horrific and genocidal against the 2+ million people in the Gaza strip with roughly more than half being underage and the atrocities are still going on.
