Speech of Eugen Drewermann at Bellevue Palace Berlin, Dec. 13th, 2014

he German Federal President Gauk is a warmonger. His rhetoric distorts the meaning of the terms „responsibility“ and „ethos“ to imply that Germany can only show responsibility and ethos by deploying German soldiers to an increasing number of fields of operation to defend the interests of the German Republic. In truth these soldiers are harming this country because they are using German weapons to kill other nationals in order to protect resource supply routes and to continue Germany´s contribution to Nato´s plundering. It´s all only about natural resources. To put it simply: Blood for oil. But the Federal President would never put it that way. However, people understand what he is increasingly brazenly implying between the lines when he speaks to the young recruits of the German Military Academy (Bundeswehrakademie) or opens the NATO Security Conference in Munich as a guest speaker. Germany is letting itself be maneuvered into a NATO-war with Russia in the Ukraine and East-German past
