Germans are ill-prepared for war.
Strack-Zimmermann wants to activate reservists.
Former SPD leader Gabriel: "Will have to bring Russia down" - if necessary "with the help of the Bundeswehr".
We must become fit for war.
Defense Minister Pistorius wants to record young men's fitness for military service.
ZDF weapon science for the next generation: Taurus? Well "logo"!
CDU politician Kiesewetter demands: War must be taken to Russia.
A war of aggression against Germany is no longer considered out of the question. Municipalities are preparing.
The Bundeswehr is preparing an operational plan for Germany.
Regardless of all the terrible experiences of the First and Second World Wars, the German
population is already being sworn in for another major war.
Economics, politics and finance expert Ernst Wolff explains the possible reasons why the German government is so
consistently preparing us for a possible war instead of setting the course for peace or at least trying to negotiate peace.
Wars never happen by chance
Wars are always prepared for a long, long time.
That applies to the First World War, it applies to the Second World War, it applies to all wars
since then. They are prepared for a long time.
So that is also a huge logistical effort that is being made.
So a war never happens the way it is presented to the public, all of a sudden from one day to the next.
There are always things in motion in the background.
And in the Ukraine war, for example, you could tell weeks in advance that troops were moving.
Everything was very, very carefully prepared.
And of course the whole thing is also a huge business. And that's why those involved in this
business must of course be informed in good time.
So the arms industry has to be informed in good time that a larger number of weapons will soon be required
than before, because a lot of weapons have to be destroyed very quickly in a war like this.
And of course we have to deliver more very quickly.
So this conversion of the economy from a peacetime economy to a war economy is also important in war.
This also needs to be prepared. So there are all sorts of things going on in the
background that ordinary citizens don't notice at all.
The interesting thing about wars is that nowadays, and in the past, wars are not fought to be won. Rather, wars
are nothing more than a promotion of the arms industry.
And the arms industry is now fully in the hands of the IT industry and large financial groups.
And they have problems at the moment, they are not making enough profits. And they are now making these profits through wars.
How to make people willing to go to war again and again.
The governments pretend to the people that we are against the other government.
So an enemy is simply created.
So in the case of Ukraine it was suddenly called the great dictator Putin .
Ukraine looks like David against Goliath Russia.
And normal people naturally always ally themselves with David and are immediately against Goliath.
The American government is currently acting as if it is the great opponent of the Chinese government.
In reality, the big American IT companies are working together with the big Chinese IT companies.
Basically, there is always some kind of economy or alliance being promoted in the background.
And the people, the ordinary people on the street, are simply presented with this image of one state fighting another state.
Because this is the only way to drive people ideologically to actually take part in these wars and, for
example, to send their own sons and daughters into battle.
This easily gives people the impression that wars are necessary and inevitable,
because one country is hostile to the other and threatens it militarily.
But if wars are planned and wanted, if they serve no other purpose than to promote the arms industry and the
large IT and financial corporations, then it is in the interests of the people to say NO to these plans.
If images of the enemy only serve to manipulate people who are not willing to go to war in order to convince
them of the necessity of military conflicts, then we must say NO to manipulation and propaganda now.
We don't have to become fit for war - we have to become fit for peace again.
Will the population become aware of these important connections in time?
If not, you too could be asked to take part in a war in the near future, whether as a soldier or civilian.
At that point at the latest, everyone must answer the question for themselves with the utmost consistency:
for whom or what am I risking my life in an emergency?
The writer Wolfgang Borchert put one possible answer on paper back in 1947.
But it can also be used today and tomorrow.
You. Man at the machine and man in the workshop.
If tomorrow they order you to stop making water pipes and cooking pots - and instead make steel helmets and
machine guns - there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Girls behind the counter and girls in the office.
If tomorrow they order you to fill grenades and mount scopes for sniper rifles, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Owner of the factory. If they tell you tomorrow to sell gunpowder instead of powder
and cocoa, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Researcher in the laboratory. If they tell you tomorrow to invent a new death to replace the
old life, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Poet in your parlor. If they tell you tomorrow not to sing love songs, but hate songs, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Doctor at the bedside. If they order you tomorrow to write the men fit for war, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Pastor in the pulpit. If they tell you tomorrow to bless murder and canonize war, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Captain on the steamer. If tomorrow they order you to stop driving wheat - and instead drive
cannons and tanks, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Pilot on the airfield. If they order you tomorrow to carry bombs and phosphorus over the
cities, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Tailor on your board. If they order you to cut uniforms tomorrow, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Judge in a gown. If they order you to go to court martial tomorrow, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Man at the station. If they order you tomorrow to give the signal for the ammunition train and troop
transport to leave, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Man in the village and man in the city. If they come tomorrow and bring you the order to
report for duty, there's only one thing to do: say NO!
You. Mother in Normandy and mother in Ukraine, you, mother in Frisko and London, you, on the Hoangho and on the Mississippi,
you, mother in Naples and Hamburg and Cairo and Oslo - mothers in all parts of the world, mothers in the world, if tomorrow they
order you to give birth to children, nurses for war hospitals and new soldiers for new battles, mothers in the
world, there is only one thing to do: Say NO! Mothers, say NO!
