FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The 25th NATO summit began on Sunday while thousands of demonstrators protesting against the Western wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere marched through downtown Chicago.
Among the demonstrators were those of the Occupy Wall Street movement as well as US war veterans, who marched through the US city to voice their opposition to the western governments’ warmongering policies.
Many of the veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who said they were marching for peace, threw their medals to the street in a symbolic move to show their opposition to the US-led wars.
Some of the protesters also called for the dissolution of the 63-year-old military alliance while others carried placards and posters reading “War equals Debt” and “NATO, Go Home.”
Meanwhile, the summit opened with the slogan of “peace” and a minute of silence for those who have been killed in NATO’s military operations around the world.
Heads of the NATO’s 28 member states are attending the summit, which generally features more than 50 world leaders who have been invited for the event.
Police in Chicago have so far arrested dozens of anti-war activists to quell the protests. Two men have been detained on charges of planning to make Molotov cocktail to be used during the NATO summit.
Police also arrested three other men who were charged with plotting an attack on the US President campaign headquartered in Chicago.
Defense attorney Michael Deutsch considered the case as an example of “entrapment to the highest degree. It is sensationalism by the police and the state to discredit the protesters that have come here to nonviolently protest.”
Anti-Wall Street demonstrators are also using the opportunity to protest against the grim economic situation and excessive corporate influence in the country.
A huge anti-NATO rally is expected to be held during the summit, which will continue until May 21.
