NATO Interrupted

Wednesday morning an event was held in a building overlooking Freedom Plaza in
Washington, D.C., at an organization called the Center for European Policy
Analysis, which is funded by

Participating in the event were several foreign ministers from NATO nations,
ambassadors to NATO, and U.S. Senator Chris Murphy. NATO is designed to
vigilantly protect you from numerous imaginary and NATO-provoked dangers, but
its events are apparently protected by magic spells, as I just walked in and
took a seat.
When I couldn’t take any more of the pro-militarism talk, I stood up and
interrupted, holding up a sign reading: “Yes to Peace / NoToNATO.org.” Lots of
media cameras were in the room, so there is bound to be video somewhere.
(Please share it with me.) I said words to this general effect:
NATO needs to be shut down, not enlarged. Russia spends a tiny percentage of
what NATO nations do on war, and you pretend to be afraid of Russia. We’re not
buying it. You’re provoking dangers. NATO makes up 3/4 of military spending in
the world. Its members are also responsible for about 3/4 of foreign weapons
dealing — to dictatorships and so-called democracies around the world. NATO
wages aggressive wars far from the North Atlantic. The people you can hear
chanting outside have had enough. We’re not believing these myths anymore.
I continued along those lines for a little while before leaving. We sang songs

and spoke to people in the building’s lobby and on the sidewalk out front,
and did interviews with media from every continent other than North America,
before heading off to Capitol Hill where the head of NATO was being welcomed in
bipartisan harmony.
NATO is encountering protest everywhere it goes in Washington on Wednesday and
will on Thursday as well. Detailed plans are at http://notonato.org
