"Stop NATO"?

If you have spent time looking at people's collections of 88x31 web buttons, you may have come across this "STOP NATO" button.

An 88 by 31 pixel button which says STOP NATO and shows a red X over the NATO logo

This page presents some information about why a button like this would exist, including some relatively recent articles on the topic as well as some archived web pages and graphics from the 90s and 2000s relating to campaigns/slogans such as "STOP NATO" and "Put NATO on trial", many of which are related to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. The revelations about Operation Gladio had also occurred earlier in the 1990s, revealing the involvement of various western institutions (including NATO) in organizing and supporting right-wing false flag terror attacks throughout Europe, orchestrated to promote crackdowns against the left. Other materials on this page relate to the recruitment of Nazi generals, admirals, propagandists etc. into NATO, including major positions of leadership.

Quotes about NATO

NATO bombing of Yugoslavia: "unrestricted aerial attacks of the kind NATO rained down upon Yugoslavia are prohibited under international law"

"It may come as a surprise—or an irrelevancy—to some, but unrestricted aerial attacks of the kind NATO rained down upon Yugoslavia are prohibited under international law. Destroying a country's infrastructure, its waterworks, power plants, bridges, factories, hospitals, schools, churches, agriculture, civilian transportation, and communications system—not to mention the attendant loss of life and injury to civilians—is nothing less than a horrendous war crime. Yet, the realities of power being what they are, major war criminals such as Clinton, Blair, and their associates go unchallenged." -- Parenti, Michael. (2000). To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia. Chapter: "NATO's War Crimes."

Nazi recruitment into NATO: "there is a clear connection from the Nazis to the U.S. occupiers to the West German military to NATO"

"The historical facts are clear. Instead of facing trial and paying for the countless crimes they planned and committed, Heusinger, Speidel and other prominent Nazi war criminals were given a free pass by the Anglo-Americans. Instead of being made accountable, they were rewarded for their service to the Nazis by being given key roles in rebuilding the West German army to oppose the Soviet Union and by being appointed as key NATO functionaries in Europe for the same nefarious purposes. There is a clear connection from the Nazis to the U.S. occupiers to the West German military to NATO that once again exposes NATO’s true role." -- TML Daily.

NATO and Operation Gladio: "attacks were usually blamed on far-left groups [...] these bombings and attacks turned out to be the work of small neo-Nazi and fascist groups who were essentially puppets of the state, NATO and (at arms length) the CIA and MI6"

"[B]eginning in 1969, a series of terrorist outrages struck throughout Europe. The attacks were usually blamed on far-left groups like the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Red Brigades in Italy. In reality, many (if not most) of these bombings and attacks turned out to be the work of small neo-Nazi and fascist groups who were essentially puppets of the state, NATO and (at arms length) the CIA and MI6 [...] At the same time as secretly orchestrating these attacks, the governments used these events as pretexts to crack down on left-wing parties that were viewed as a challenge to the capitalist establishment, especially the communist parties of Italy, France and Belgium." -- Winstanley, Ava. (2022). How the CIA and Italy's secret state manipulated the right and infiltrated the left.

WHAT CAN BE GAINED FROM NATO AIR STRIKES AGAINST THE FR OF YUGOSLAVIA

Except for addressing inferiority complex of American generals and German revanchists defeated in the Second World War, air strikes against Yugoslavia would open a new page in the history ushering in great uncertainty, fear and anxiety in the wake of new destruction and new wars.

Nazis in NATO

Finding work for Nazis post-WWII

"A clandestine German intelligence organization was to be set up [...] The organization was to be financed by the Americans [...] in return the organization would supply all its intelligence reports to the Americans."

In 1972, former Nazi intelligence official Reinhard Gehlen, who had been in charge of Nazi Germany's intelligence and connections with clandestine fascist organizations in Eastern Europe, wrote in his memoir about his reasons for surrendering to the US and offering them his services:

"My view was that there would be a place even for Germany in a Europe rearmed for defense against communism. Therefore we must set our sights on the Western powers, and give ourselves two objectives: to help defend against Communist expansion and to recover and reunify Germany's lost territories [...] I felt that the common defense interests of the Western powers must inevitably lead them to recognize that without Germany all Europe was lost. This was why we could realistically expect them to show an interest in exploiting our intelligence service for espionage work in the East [...] so that someday a future German government could take the organization over, using our present staff as the expert nucleus." -- Gehlen, Reinhard. (1972.) The Service: The Memoirs of General Reinhard Gehlen. (p. 107-8.)

Note that the "present staff" to become the "expert nucleus" referred to in the above quote were the Third Reich's intelligence personnel.

Gehlen states in his memoir that an unspoken "gentlemen's agreement" was arrived at between him and US intelligence, "which for a variety of reasons we never set down in black and white". (Gehlen, p. 121)

According to Gehlen:

"A clandestine German intelligence organization was to be set up, using the existing potential to continue information gathering in the East just as we had been doing before. The basis for this was our common interest in a defense against communism. [...] This German organization was to work not "for" or "under" the Americans, but "jointly with the Americans." [...] The organization would operate exclusively under German leadership, which would receive its directives and assignments from the Americans until a new government was established in Germany. [...] The organization was to be financed by the Americans with funds which were not to be part of the occupation costs, and in return the organization would supply all its intelligence reports to the Americans." (Gehlen, p. 122)

Gehlen's activities post-WII are referred to as the "Gehlen Organization." This refers to his efforts to find positions of work for various Nazis in Western intelligence organizations and skirt the de-Nazification process in Germany, and includes supplying labor and information to NATO.
