There is a question one must ask before discussing the European Union: What exactly distinguishes a democratic system from one that only appears to be one? The answer, which the EU Parliament is currently providing daily, is as clear as it is sobering—and Gerald Hauser, FPÖ MEP, has lost patience with pretending otherwise.

There are moments when a system so thoroughly unmasks itself that even its most loyal apologists would have to pause for a moment—were they not so busy carrying on as if nothing had happened. The EUdSSR has just delivered such a moment. Several of them, in fact, in rapid succession, like a political firework display of self-exposure. Let's begin with the

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...

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.

Rob Zombie has struck again – and this time it's short, gritty, and green. The music video for "The Black Scorpion," the latest single from his new album "The Great Satan," is out, and if you thought a guy with dreadlocks and more tattoos than skin could still surprise you: think again. Green light, Zombie, his

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 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.

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

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:

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

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.

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.

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

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.
