How war propaganda works

Europe is becoming “ready for war” (Part 1)

by Robert Seidel*

(4 July 2025) The Israeli army’s attack on the Iranian Republic drowned out the threatening rumblings of war in Europe because it heightened the danger of a Third World War. But how is it possible in Europe itself to create a mood in which ever more people seem willing to “voluntarily” sacrifice their lives, the lives of their loved ones, their own prosperity and future? And how is it possible that such a far-reaching change of course is accepted without complaint? In short, how is “willingness to go to war” created?
Popular initiative “Safeguarding Swiss neutrality”

Council of States rejects neutrality initiative but wants to enshrine neutrality more clearly in the Federal Constitution

by Dr. phil. René Roca, member of the initiative committee*

(4 July 2025) (CH-S) On 20 and 21 June 2025, René Roca, a long-standing high school teacher and historian with a doctorate, presented his views on the significance of the neutrality initiative for our country at the “Swiss Standpoint” association in Frauenfeld and discussed them in detail with the participants. In his presentation, he outlined several key historical events that have helped to keep our country out of war and maintain internal and external peace over the last 200 years.

Where is the sovereignty in Switzerland’s health policy?

Federal Council tightens its course of adjustment to the requirements of supranational organisations

by Dr. med. Sabine Vuilleumier-Koch*

(4 July 2025) “At its meeting on 20 June 2025, the Federal Council decided to accept the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005).” This news did not come as a surprise, but it was still shocking. With its actions, the Federal Council has once again made it clear that the international stage is more important to it than Switzerland's sovereignty in its health policy.

China's thorium revolution

by Alex Krainer, TrendCompass*

(4 July 2025) Last month, Chinese scientists made a major breakthrough with the experimental 2-megawatt thorium reactor in the Gobi Desert by refueling the reactor while in full operation – a world-first achievement.

Everything is at stake – not just for Iran

The US deeply involved in planning the Israeli attack

by René Zittlau*

(27 June 2025) (CH-S) In a crystal-clear overarching view, analyst René Zittlau shows the geopolitical consequences and connections linked to Israel’s attack on Iran. It becomes evident that the US administration is much more deeply involved in the preparation of the attack than it appeared.

The multiple violations of international law will not invalidate international law itself, but the development of a peaceful global community will be set back considerably.

“Not in our name”

Zionism is not the same as Judaism

by Detlef Koch*

(27 June 2025) Today, 13 June, marks the start of an event in Vienna that was long considered unthinkable: Jews from all over the world are gathering – rabbis, Holocaust survivors, intellectuals, Mizrahi activists, left-wing voices from the diaspora – to publicly, confidently and in an organised manner criticise Zionism. Not out of hatred, but out of responsibility. Not as a taboo-breaking act, but as a return to the ethos of Jewish history. The “First Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress” is not a marginal phenomenon. It is the moral symptom of a radical change – and an invitation to finally rethink the concepts that have paralysed political criticism for decades.
