War as a smokescreen for world politics

2026 has once again shown the world that geopolitical crises now function almost like television series. New season, new explosions, new expert panels. This time: Iran. Missiles, drones, burning facilities, dramatic satellite images, and a global audience glued to the screen. The headlines were quickly written: escalation, retaliation, nuclear fears, geopolitical conflagration. The dramatic setup was perfect.

Epstein was just the trailer: Child trafficking in the shadow of the elites?

There are topics that make a society collectively rub its eyes, take a deep breath – and then decide to look away. Not because they are so complicated, but because they are so uncomfortable. For example, over a thousand people have now come forward to report satanic ritual abuse. 1024 survivors – a number that is...

Humanity is practicing for World War II again – this time with a live stream

World War III is knocking politely at the door once again. Not loudly. Not dramatically. More like a grumpy neighbor who's been threatening for years to "really come over someday." And this time, the situation is said to be particularly dire. Parts of Tel Aviv now look like Gaza, they say. Rockets with multiple warheads are striking, destroying entire streets.

The biggest lie of war: "It's about freedom"

These days, there's a surprisingly popular question: "Whose side are you on?" Israel or Iran? Ukraine or Russia? The geopolitical version of "Team Blue or Team Red." Only with a few more missiles. And because apparently every opinion has to be immediately sorted into a camp, some people find it disconcerting when someone answers:

An hour of apocalypse, neatly portioned: From Tehran to Cologne – everything's burning, as long as it's all under control.

It's Wednesday, March 4, 2026, and somewhere between the Iran war, EU treaties, and fertility fairs, a radio program bravely attempts to make sense of the world. It succeeds about as well as an IKEA shelf without instructions: you can sort of put it together, but in the end, there's always a piece left over. On Kontrafunk, Stefan Milius expertly guides the audience through the topics of...

Mike Müller – the nation's fee parasite

There are people who defend institutions out of conviction. And there are people who defend institutions because these institutions happen to stabilize their bank balance every month. In Mike Müller's case, these two motives blur together in an almost poetic way. In Pascal Nufer's podcast, Müller explains with the composure of a morally superior parent that the initiators of the SRG halving initiative are "hot

Whoever heals is wrong: Switzerland and the fear of medical independence

There are judgments that speak the law. And there are judgments that reflect the spirit of the times. The Cantonal Court of Schwyz opted for the latter on March 3, 2026. Manuel Albert's appeal was dismissed, as was his cross-appeal. The judgment of the Höfe District Court stands – with a slight aggravation: He is additionally found guilty of attempted intentional violation of the law.

Iran: 95 percent chance of a nuclear strike – but please without protective measures

At 17:01 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, the Pentagon blacklisted the only artificial intelligence system operating on its secret military networks. Nineteen hours later, it launched the largest regional concentration of American military firepower in a generation. The AI is called Claude and was developed by Anthropic. The operation is called "Epic Fury." Anthropic signed the agreement in July.

Energy transition at the expense of reality

Wind turbines are truly beautiful. Elegant. Slender. White. They turn so peacefully in the sunset that you almost forget they never come alone. Wind turbines don't come in isolation. They come as a package. And this package is absolutely comprehensive. A wind turbine requires kilometers of grid expansion. A wind turbine requires energy storage, the kind that hasn't yet been technically possible in the past.

Epstein exposes elites – and the credulity of the masses

It's fascinating how a convicted sex offender, a shocking plea bargain, and a real elite bubble can eventually become a Netflix script on LSD. Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a myth. Not a fairy tale. Not a forum fever dream. He was a real multimillionaire with real connections to real powerful people who organized real abuse. That alone is bad enough. But no, that

Healthy through obedience – conventional medicine in the service of the pharmaceutical industry

Modern conventional medicine has developed a remarkably efficient business model: fear in, obedience out. Health is no longer understood as something that lives, fluctuates, learns, and regulates itself, but as a fragile state constantly threatened from the outside. Invisible enemies lurk everywhere, and without constant monitoring, medication, and intervention, immediate collapse is imminent. Who wouldn't want to be under such pressure?

DBD: Chain Of Command – Truth Grip

Frankfurt am Main. Banking city. Skyline. And somewhere amidst concrete, railway tracks, and existential crisis, Truth Grip are standing there, pressing "Everything's Broken." "Twist Of Fate" isn't a delicate conceptual journey through soundscapes. It's a double EP that kicks down your door without warning, empties your fridge, and then explains why your life is actually your greatest enemy.

The silent poisoning: Why your food is slowly destroying you

It's a small miracle of modern civilization: You go to the supermarket, buy an apple, and get a free chemical surprise package thrown in. Invisible. Not required to be declared in detail. But definitely there. The food industry calls it progress. Scientists now call it a three trillion dollar annual loss. Three trillion. That's no small feat.

Google monopolized knowledge – Brave liberated it

Once upon a time, Google was the ultimate authority on knowledge. A digital deity that knew everything, saw everything, and answered everything. People asked questions, and Google answered with the authority of an oracle. Page 1 was truth. Page 2 was heresy. Page 3 didn't exist. But now the old god stands at his grave.

DBD: Karsikko – Vermilia

Finnish folk/pagan metal artist Vermilia has released the music video for "Karsikko," a track deeply rooted in ancient Finnish folklore, death rituals...
