Billionaire Wealth, U.S. Job Losses and Pandemic Pro teers

Ed. How much is a billion? A sum of money of "only" one billion — or a thousand million — is hardly imaginable. One can only guess at the in uence and power that individuals in our world can wield with the possession of several or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

As a comparison with the amounts of money described in the following two articles by Alan MacLeod and Chuck Collins, we have subsequently compared this year's financial requirements of the "United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees" (UNHCR) and the state revenues (2017) of Switzerland and its neighbouring countries.

"Who is afraid of William Tell? 
Old-fashioned reflections on democracy"

A plea for our individual freedom

by Thomas Scherr

(30 January 2021)  «Who is afraid of William Tell? Old-fashioned reflections on democracy».* This is the title of Oliver Zimmer's book published in November 2020. The author teaches modern European history in Oxford. He has been living in England for twenty years, but his roots lie on the shores of Lake Zurich. We recommend any democrat who has preserved his spirit of freedom to read his book.

“Covid has provided cover for a pandemic of propaganda.”

By John Pilger

2021: The world as a gambling hell?

by Wolfgang Effenberger*

(30 January 2021)  On 11 December 2020, the Economist special issue "The World 2021" was published with forward-looking contents. The covers of the previous annual issues were, as usual, very cryptic with their encoded plans of the background elites: a mixture of occult symbolism and references to manipulation and control of the masses.

For 2021, a slot machine was chosen, with the globe adorning its lever arm. Pressing it causes the four reels to rotate. Instead of coins, "stimulus funds" are to be inserted. It's all about the very big rip-off "CASH OUT" at taxpayers' expense. The uninitiated readers have to rely on their imagination.

Running a household economically in times of crisis

by Elisabeth Willi, home economics teacher and psychologist

(5 February 2021)  Even in prosperous Switzerland, people can become unexpectedly unemployed due to company closures, wage cuts or illness. Previous crises and today's Corona crisis leave many traces. Through no fault of their own, household income no longer covers expenditure, bills can no longer be paid and the family budget gets overstretched.
