Zurich, 50,000 francs and the most blatant "mistake" in the history of direct democracy

There are moments when the system exposes itself. Not through dramatic revelations, not through courageous whistleblowers, not through investigative journalism—but through a simple failure to conceal itself. The Canton of Zurich has just provided such a moment, and it is more instructive than any civics lesson the Swiss school system has ever produced. The facts are...

6G: Because freedom in the mind requires more bandwidth

It was only a matter of time. While humanity is still debating whether 5G kills birds or just minds, Trump has already signed off on the next stage of its evolutionary penetration: 6G. Not for faster Netflix, not for better video calls—but, and please read this twice, for "implantable technologies." Black and white, official, presidential.

Hunger by Design: How the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz finances the great reset of agriculture

Six weeks. The Strait of Hormuz has been blocked for six weeks now, and anyone who thinks it's just about oil, geopolitics, and the usual saber-rattling between Washington and Tehran has missed the real story. It's playing out in the background—quietly, efficiently, and highly profitably—and its script wasn't written in a Ministry of Defense, but in the boardroom.

Sarah Engels, accusations of racism and the hypocrisy of the woke

Sarah Engels is going to the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. Great. Nobody cares about that. What does matter: She was in South Africa beforehand, rehearsed her song with Black girls, posted the video on Instagram — and promptly, the shitstorm erupted that arrives in 2026 as reliably as the next climate conference with its private jet arrivals. The accusation: White saviorism.

Wadephul in Kenya: When foreign policy becomes a decadent party trip

While the average German citizen scrutinizes their bank statement and wonders whether they can afford heating or groceries this month, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul – nicknamed "Whatafool" by well-meaning observers – jets off to Kenya. Not for tough negotiations, not for crisis talks, not for anything even remotely resembling foreign policy. No. Disco bus. Cooking class. Local

Zelenskyy's People's Army: When forced recruitment becomes a security risk

Kyiv, midday. A 58-year-old man opens fire on random passersby in the street, flees into a supermarket, takes hostages, and is shot dead by police. Five dead, ten wounded. Tragic. Shocking. And above all: politically highly inconvenient. Because the punchline, which the Ukrainian propaganda machine would most like to remove from the news report, lies in the backstory:

Green Apocalypse: BYD is burning – and the climate church remains silent.

Welcome to the gleaming, clean future of electromobility. Where once stinking combustion engines polluted the air, we now have something far superior: battery fires that simply cannot be extinguished. Not with water. Not with foam. Not with good intentions and climate awareness. Simply – not. A fire has broken out at the BYD factory. Lithium-ion cells, once thermally overheated, develop their own oxygen supply and

Guilty: The climate. Proof: None. Sponsors: Billionaires. Questions? Forbidden.

Every time a storm rages somewhere on Earth, a river bursts its banks, or the sun shines a little too enthusiastically, the climate alarm industry is already poised – press release pre-written, cameras rolling, hysteria at full throttle. It was climate change. Of course. Always. The New York Times calmly announced that climate change had doubled the likelihood of European floods.

DBD: Dig Your Own Grave – Devildriver

Attention, world: The modern metal machine Devildriver has finally shaken off its slumber and announced their new album "Strike And Kill" — accompanied by the music video for the thunderous single "Dig Your Own Grave". Their last studio album, "Dealing With Demons Vol. II", has been gathering dust on the shelves since 2023, but as they say, good things come to those who wait.

Ursula I, Queen of the EUdSSR – A fairy tale from Brussels

Once upon a time, there was a woman who couldn't be content with being a failed defense minister. No, Ursula von der Leyen dreams bigger: the uncrowned queen of Europe. And why not? Who needs democratic legitimacy when you have the right résumé – and enough pinstriped connections? In the hallowed halls of the EUdSSR, that bureaucratic behemoth of

The EU age verification app: A Trojan horse with a privacy ribbon

It was a great day for the EUdSSR. Ursula von der Leyen, Europe's self-proclaimed digital empress, ceremoniously stepped up to the microphone and presented the latest masterpiece of Brussels engineering to the astonished public: an age verification app. To protect children, of course. Always to protect children. And naturally, "data protection compliant"—that magic word that serves the same purpose in Brussels.

Blockade, blockade

Somewhere between the Gulf War and a game show, American foreign policy has found its new guiding principle – and it sounds eerily like a failed Eurovision entry. The Strait of Hormuz, that 54-kilometer-wide artery of the global economy through which a fifth of the world's oil supply flows daily, is closed. Blocked. Because in its collective frenzy of "either-with-us-or-against-us," USrael has apparently forgotten that

How artificial intelligence is destroying the existing monetary system

There are moments when history pauses, takes a deep breath, and decides to do everything at once. AI replaces human labor. Money loses its historical function. Global elites are transforming the financial system into a total instrument of domination. This must be considered in its entirety. Ernst Wolff, bestselling author, sharp critic, and courageous investigative journalist, has a thesis...

Green Apocalypse: BYD is burning – and the climate church remains silent.

Welcome to the gleaming, clean future of electromobility. Where once smelly combustion engines polluted the air, we now have something quite different...
