Actions You Can Be Involved In

By Cindy Sheehan

How do we stop this constant cycle of violence that is perpetrated, fomented and encouraged by the U.S. Empire? We have to realize that the people of Yemen have the same existential imperative as do the 300 travelers aboard the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit!

"SZ Magazin" von Bundeswehr schikaniert

„Qualitäts-Journalismus, wie er selten geworden ist: In einer akribischen Recherche sammelte die Redaktion des "SZ Magazins" Feldpostbriefe, SMS und E-Mails, die deutsche Soldaten vom Einsatz in Afghanistan in die Heimat schickten. Die Schreiben zeigen Einblicke in den Alltag inmitten kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen. "Dieses Heft", so Chefredakteur Dominik Wichmann, "sollte eigentlich auch der Bundeswehr ein Anliegen sein." Tatsächlich haben die Streitkräfte den "SZ"-Report mit allen Mitteln torpediert…“ Artikel auf Meedia.de vom 22.12.2009 https://meedia.de/nc/details-topstory/article/sz-magazin-von-bundeswehr-schikaniert_100025317.html?tx_ttnews[backPid]=23&cHash=743bf5a130
