(19 July 2023) I know you’re good at geography, but I dare you to tell me where Orenburg is. This city of 600,000 inhabitants is located at the foot of the Ural Mountains, in the middle of the Russian-Kazakh steppe, on the border of Europe and Asia. For us, in the middle of nowhere.

(19 July 2023) The EU is pursuing a policy of change: energy, food, climate, vaccination and war, including sanctions. These are parts of the “Great Reset” operated by the WEF and the financial capital that controls it, i.e., the billionaires from Rockefeller to Soros to Gates. The respective EU Commission meticulously implements the orders as received from such institutions, the billionaire foundations (NGO) and their think tanks.

(6 July 2023) (Edit.) In 1992, it was Christoph Blocher, a doctor of law, former Federal Councillor and former entrepreneur, who, together with the “Action for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland” initiated by him, succeeded in preventing Switzerland from joining the “European Economic Area” (EEA). He saw this as a precursor to joining the “European Community” (EC).

(4 July 2023) The Covid-skeptic world has been claiming the World Health Organization (WHO) plans to become some sort of global autocratic government, removing national sovereignty and replacing it with a totalitarian health state. The near-complete absence of interest by mainstream media would suggest, to the rational observer, that this is yet another ‘conspiracy theory’ from a disaffected fringe.
