Against the meeting of the world-war-elite!
Every year in February the Munich Security Conference is hold, a meeting of administration officials of the NATO-members and
about 200 representative military strategists, generals and experts on military equipment. The gathering of EU- and NATO-representatives,
the Ministers of foreign affairs and war of the USA, Germany and the other EU-countries try to make the public believe that the main topic of this conference is the keeping of peace in the whole world and the international security. The opposite is true: They are planning the next war!

This year's annual Munich Conference on Security Policy takes place between 1st and 3rd February. Thirty foreign ministers and war ministers
of NATO and EU states are due to take part, including a delegation of US senators and congressmen, as well as a number of top military strategists,
generals and arms experts. Delegations from Russia and China are also expected, although this will not alter the fact that NATO and EU states will determine substance and policies.
