Info about the Publication of VisualBases

Posted on June 17, 2021 by KPJune 23, 2021

Database and visualisation tool of foreign military bases now available

From the “Stop Ramstein Air Base” campaign, a new visualisation tool for global military bases is now available at the address https://visualbases.org. VisualBases contains an extensive database with currently already more than 300 military locations and regional military “hot spots” which are continuously updated. A special role is played by the identification of local resistance.

Integrated in each case are web links to map representations in OpenStreetMap with markings of military sites, as well as the geo-coordinates for satellite images. In parallel, global and regional overviews as well as individual projections and historical images of military installations can be called up in Google Earth. These can also be used as screen copies for documentations and presentations in compliance with the copyright rules of Google and OpenStreetMap. In addition, about 100 map and satellite image representations are already directly integrated in the database. Where available links to Wikipedia articles are included.

The publication of this tool by the Ramstein Campaign is both a service for the international peace movement and a platform for the “Congress against Foreign Military Bases”, which has been taking place since 2017 as part of the Ramstein Campaign’s annual Days of Action and will be held for the fifth time (in Kaiserslautern) on 8 and 9 July.

A joint statement by Dave Webb (UK CND) and Karl-Heinz Peil (Stop Ramstein Air Base) said:

VisualBases is a useful tool in the struggle against foreign military bases – the basis of power projection exhibited by a few highly militarised states. In particular, it clearly demonstrates the extent of the US network of bases that forms the backbone of plans for military dominance and the concept of endless wars.
VisualBases helps initiatives, campaigns and organizations to get a better understanding of the purpose of the bases and to help create presentations and documents on the issues involved.

Info zur Veröffentlichung von VisualBases

Datenbank und Visualisierungstool fremder Militärbasen jetzt abrufbar

Seitens der Kampagne “Stopp Air Base Ramstein” steht ein neues Datenbank- und Visualisierungstool für globale Militärbasen unter der Adresse https://visualbases.org im Internet zur Verfügung. VisualBases enthält eine umfangreiche Datenbank mit aktuell bereits über 300 militärischen Standorten und regionalen, militärischen  “Hot Spots”, die laufend aktualisiert werden. Eine besondere Rolle spielt dabei die Kennzeichnung des lokalen Widerstandes.

Integriert sind jeweils Web-Links zu Kartendarstellungen in OpenStreetMap mit Markierungen militärisch ausgewiesener Flächen, sowie die Geo-Koordinaten für Satellitenbilder. Parallel dazu können in Google Earth globale und regionale Übersichten sowie Einzelprojektionen und historische Bilder von militärischen Installationen aufgerufen werden. Diese lassen sich für Dokumentationen und Präsentationen auch als Bildschirmkopien unter Beachtung der Copyright-Regeln von Google und OpenStreetMap nutzen. Darüber hinaus sind in der Datenbank bereits etwa 100 Karten- und Satellitenbilddarstellungen direkt integriert. Soweit verfügbar, enthalten die Einträge auch Links zu Wikipedia-Artikeln.

Das Tool ist sowohl ein Serviceangebot für die internationale Friedensbewegung als auch eine Plattform für den im Rahmen der jährlichen Aktionstage der Ramstein-Kampagne seit 2017 stattfindenden, englischsprachigen  “Congress against Foreign Military Bases”, der am 8. und 9. Juli zum fünften Mal (in Kaiserslautern) stattfindet.

In einem gemeinsamen Statement von Dave Webb (UK CND) und Karl-Heinz Peil (Stopp Air Base Ramstein) heißt es:

VisualBases ist ein nützliches Werkzeug im Widerstand gegen ausländische Militärbasen als Basis globaler Militarisierung und Machtprojektion einiger weniger Staaten. Insbesondere zeigt es das Ausmaß des US-Netzwerkes weltweiter Militärbasen, die das Rückgrat der Strategie militärischer Dominanz und endloser Kriege darstellen.
VisualBases hilft Initiativen, Kampagnen und Organisationen, den Zweck von Militärbasen besser zu verstehen und publizistisch auszuwerten. Hierzu sind auch Links zu vorhandenem Materialien und Auflistungen hilfreich.
