Protest on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. before the Willy Brandt House (Berlin), Corner of Wilhelmstrasse / Stresemannstrasse

As many of you have already noticed, the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wants to present a draft in November that classifies nuclear power and fossil gas as sustainable within the framework of the EU taxonomy. Once this draft is published, there is almost no chance of stopping it politically. This super greenwashing would pump hundreds of billions of euros into the wrong air conditioning solutions. Ursula von der Leyen uses the political vacuum of coalition formation for this.

We call on ex-Finance Minister and future Chancellor Olaf Scholz to make it clear to the EU Commission that the Ampel-Coalition politically does not accept that such important decisions are made without a federal government in office. This is the only way we can gain time with more pressure from civil society and social movements to prevent this fatal wrong decision in energy policy ...

Glasgow Dreamboys Part 1 from November 03rd, 2021 | WiP

The nuclear lobby practices that Dance trick

Since most of the nuclear lobbyists are already a bit stiff in the hips, it is more reminiscent of a clumsy attack

But it is also difficult to dance to the only hit that the people of yesterday know, the Fehrbelliner Reitermarsch "We want our old nuclear power back ...", to dance to living people in goose-step.

It will look completely different when the professional Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the world's largest nuclear advancement association IAEA, swings elegantly in a tango step towards the standing desk in Glasgow and, against all better knowledge, explains very eloquently why the fight against the rising temperatures was only won with many atomic ovens can be.

The delegates cling to their wallets and yet know it's too late. The wallet is still there, but cleanly emptied except for some Klimpergeld. There is no longer anything in it for meaningful climate protection measures.

Glasgow Dreamboys Part 2 on 13 November 2021

The "great statesmen“This world are puppets of the military

Honesty, logic and rational arguments were largely ignored in Glasgow, because at least since the horror clown Don Trumpl it's all "old news".

Although PutIn and Xipping Pooh were not present at the climate conference in Glasgow, like Biden, Johnson, Macron, Modi and all the other atomic bomb fanboys, they stood and still stand behind the dance teacher Grossi and grinned at his lecture that "fear and fear" became.

Because not only since the "wars for the freedom of oil to flow cheaply to the West" have we all known the vast repertoire of the mighty. Their arsenal includes the well-dosed stirring up of war fears as well as a whole series of "civil" measures to keep fear in the population at a high level. From propaganda lies to suddenly rising energy prices to popular anti-social multiplayer offline games such as police cauldrons and clubs out of the bag.

The atomic bomb states do not want to do without nuclear power in the future either, because otherwise it would quickly become clear that for years they have been investing much higher sums of money in nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction than the population was aware of. In view of the increasingly obvious deficiencies in infrastructures around the world and, at the same time, increasing national debt, it is difficult for taxpayers to explain why it should make sense to open the "black hole" MIC continue to feed. That is why the "great statesmen" do what they have always done, they lie as if written down - promise everything, deliver little and try to turn back time.

You talk about clean, cheap atomic energy, but mean weapons-grade plutonium.

MiK is the largest global company and the world's worst polluter.

- How many jobs are associated with the military-industrial complex?

- For example, where would the armaments, steel and cement industries etc. be without the military?

These and similar questions were not discussed in Glasgow.

An open discussion about the real reasons for clinging to the worst poison slingshots the world has ever known would certainly be quite uncomfortable for some of those involved, but it is a necessary prerequisite if we are to overcome the all-blocking inertia.

For the right and freedom of the military-industrial complex and thus also of the nuclear industry to continue skimming off taxpayers' money worldwide, they will do whatever is necessary: ​​dance, attack, attack ...

At the end of the Antanz training there was a standing ovation, Mr. Grossi, the lead dance teacher, smiled beaming and went to count the loot.

Military-industrial complex

The term military-industrial complex (MIK) is used in socio-critical analyzes to describe the close cooperation and mutual relationships between politicians, representatives of the military and representatives of the armaments industry.

The concept of a military-industrial complex was coined in 1956 by the American sociologist Charles Wright Mills under the title The Power Elite (German: "The American Elite: Society and Power in the United States") ...

The term gained popularity through the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who in his farewell speech on January 17, 1961 expressly warned against the entanglements and influences of the military-industrial complex in the USA. Eisenhower, who himself had once been Chief of Staff of the Army, like Mills saw the military-industrial complex as a danger to democratic institutions and democracy ...
