Coronavirus pandemic – Wuhan market was not place of origin

by Pascal Derungs,* Zurich

(19 July 2024) The evidence is mounting: Unscrupulous researchers have probably developed the virus. A laboratory accident brought it into the world. “Das Lügengebäude bröckelt” (“The pack of lies is crumbling”), is the title of Professor of Physics Roland Wiesendanger’s article in the political magazine “Cicero” In it, the internationally renowned scientist summarises the current state of knowledge on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. He describes the official interpretation, according to which the virus is of natural origin and is said to have accidentally jumped from bats to humans at the animal market in the Chinese city of Wuhan – at the site of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) of all places – as a “pack of lies”.

The US-controlled fact-checking mafia from Correctiv, DPA, NewsGuard & Co. is facing a strong headwind

by Norbert Häring,* Germany

(12 July 2024) NewsGuard, presumably an important service provider for the government’s censorship campaign against independent, critical media, is facing a parliamentary investigation in the US to clarify the company’s relationship with the government and its handling of conflicts of interest.

On Swiss neutrality

Swiss Government opens the debate on the “Neutrality Initiative” with a lie

by Christoph Pfluger,* Solothurn

Dear readers

What many people don’t know: Neutrality is part of Switzerland’s DNA. But it is not enshrined in the constitution.

This is why Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis was able to throw it overboard at the end of February 2022 without a Swiss government decision, without a parliamentary decision and without a referendum.

“The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order”

Prospects for the second half of the 21st century

by Glenn Diesen,* Norway

(5 July 2024)The Ukraine War was a predictable consequence of an unsustainable world order and became a battleground for charting a future world order of either global hegemony or Westphalian multipolarity. The objectives to defeat Russia militarily, economically, or politically by isolating it in the world all failed.

Ecce homines – Fellow citizens! Look at these people!

by Dr Stefan Nold,* Germany

(5 July 2024) “Is this some kind of Christ thing?” a young guy asks me as I walk through Darmstadt-Arheilgen on a Monday evening, a large poster with “12 commandments for peace” around my neck. There are only a few of us. A fitter from Berlin, a master craftsman, a retired vocational teacher and a few others. An emeritus maths professor holds up the white flag. “Put up passive resistance, resistance wherever you are, stop this war machine from continuing before it’s too late,” said Petra Kelly, one of the founders of the Green Party, in 1983. She is dead, just like Rudi Dutschke and Antje Vollmer; her party now sings in favour of the arms lobby. The peace movement has died and Alexander Gauland, Walter Wallmann’s former under secretary, who made his new party big by stirring up nasty resentments, is giving speeches in the Bundestag on the war in Ukraine that Willy Brandt would have given in the past. I no longer understand the world.
