“Peace on Planet Earth: Cancel Your NATO Membership. It’s Easy?? “Say Goodbye” to the Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

Say No to WWIII: "Cease to be Party to NATO" (art. 13)

Article 13 of the Washington Treaty describes a Simple Procedure for a NATO Member State, to Cancel its Membership.

Below is the stated objective of NATO: Peace and Security, Individual Liberty and the Rule of Law, Safeguard Freedom and  Democracy.

See Below:

“The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments.

They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area.

They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security. They therefore agree to this North Atlantic Treaty.”

Sounds Good but It’s a Bold  Face Lie.

NATO is an instrument  of  continuous warfare.  What utter nonsense. They do not support the Charter of the United Nations.

US-NATO-Israel’s “humanitarian wars” consist of crimes against humanity, genocide and the destruction and fragmentation of entire countries:

Palestine, Vietnam, Cambodia, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, …

not to mention military coup’s, regime change, color revolutions, … poverty and famine.

Famine in Afghanistan (invaded by NATO forces in October 2001) on the pretext that Afghanistan had attacked America on 9/11 allegedly in support of Al Qaeda)

 

 

Read Article 13 of the Washington Treaty which describes the procedure.

TEXT OF ARTICLE 13.

“Article 13

“After the Treaty has been in force for twenty years, any Party may cease to be a Party one year after its notice of denunciation has been given to the Government of the United States of America, which will inform the Governments of the other Parties of the deposit of each notice of denunciation.

A NATO Member State may cease to be “A Party of NATO ” one year after its notice of denunciation has been given the the Government of the U.S.A” (emphasis added)

A  NATO Member State may Decide to “WITHDRAW from NATO” 

We are at a dangerous crossroads in our history which is characterized by a system of alliances of nation states (namely NATO) which unequivocally supports and finances the United States military agenda. The latter  also includes an option to conduct nuclear war. A 1.3 trillion dollar nuclear weapons program, slated to increase to 2 trillion by 2030

While Article 13 of the Washington Treaty appears to be simplistic, one can expect numerous pressures and fraudulent actions with a view to Preventing a NATO Member State from canceling its NATO membership

WHAT IS CRUCIAL IS TO FRACTURE AND WEAKEN NATO: an intergovernmental alliance of 32 member states.

There is also the. issue of cross-cutting alliances and coalitions, namely countries which are members of NATO, while also having alliances or agreements with so-called enemies of NATO.  Turkey is a NATO member state which has economic and strategic alliances with both Russia and Iran.

 

 

The withdrawal from NATO of one or more member states could have a significant impact. It creates a precedent, which would encourage more NATO member States, “TO SAY GOOD BYE”

 

HOW TO REVERSE THE TIDE OF WAR: “SAY GOODBYE to NATO”

A: WITHDRAWAL (ART 13 OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY)

1. A MASS MOVEMENT AT THE GRASSROOTS OF SOCIETY TO WITHDRAW FROM NATO (ART. 13 OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY)

2. ACTIONS WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE  of the 32 member states. MOTIONS TO “TO CEASE TO BE A PARTY” OF NATO (ART 13) 

B. NATO Wants Money from Member States. It Also Wants Weapons

“During the 2014 summit, all NATO members agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDPs on defense by 2025″.  PRESSURE GOVERNMENTS TO FREEZE  DEFENSE SPENDING. DEMAND WITHDRAWAL OF SOLDIERS FROM THE WAR THEATER.

C. THE RESTORATION OF PEACE AND DEMOCRACY

3. Persistent actions against corrupt heads of state who support NATO. 

4. Restoration of the democratic process, elect politicians firmly committed to “CEASING TO BE A PARTY” OF NATO (ART 13)

DEMOCRATIZATION OF THE MEDIA

5. Actions against media, which are supportive of terrorism and crimes against humanity committed by  NATO forces. 

D. ACTIONS WITHIN THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM 

6. Meaningful actions within the United Nations System. ACTIONS AGAINST NGO’S WHICH SUPPORT NATO

LEGAL ACTIONS

7. Legal actions against the military industrial complex and the financial establishment 

8. Actions against the billionaire philanthropists which endorse and finance US NATO Israel, acts of war


The Motto of NATO: Increase Defense Spending to Prevent War. NATO must spend more”.  “The Lie Becomes the Truth”
