China springs a BRI surprise on US

by M. K. Bhadrakumar,* India

(28 June 2024) The report of the death of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was an exaggeration, after all. Within days of the US President Joe Biden’s acerbic remark during an interview last week with the “Time” magazine that the BRI has “become a nuisance graveyard initiative,” a trilateral intergovernmental agreement to commence construction work on the “China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan” (CKU) railway project was signed in Beijing on Thursday.

Switzerland – NATO

Open lettre of an American naturalised in Switzerland

Dear Madam President of the Swiss Confederation, Ms Viola Amherd
Dear Federal Councillor, Mr Ignazio Cassis

NATO is neither a peace nor a defence alliance, but since 1991 an organisation that has been trying to usurp the tasks of the United Nations.

NATO is an organisation that is incompatible with the Charter of the United Nations (Art. 52) and acts against the objectives of the UN.

Dependence on foreign weapons systems

Armed neutrality and the Swiss army

by Ralph Bosshard*

(28 June 2024) From a discussion on the careless handling of Switzerland’s neutrality – which the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) department management and the army leadership have cultivated since the mid-1990s – one aspect that moved many listeners was that of armed neutrality.

Europe – with PR into the Third World War?

Massive disinformation via mainstream media also in Switzerland

by Robert Seidel,*

(21 June 2024) Some news items in the flood of current reports seem like a nightmare from times gone by: In spring 2024, one European politician after another announced that they would supply more weapons to Ukraine and, if necessary, send their own soldiers. Today, all signs point to the fact that some European governments are willing to fight the war for the USA on European soil. It is inconceivable that it is still possible to organise something like this in the 21st century – inconceivable after two catastrophic world wars and the threat of nuclear overkill.

A Basic Law for teachers?

by Michael Felten,* Germany

(21 June 2024) (CH-S) Doctors have the Hippocratic Oath to which they must adhere. After all, we trust them with our health and, not least, our lives. We entrust teachers with our young people, our most valuable asset, our future.

Wouldn’t it be time to think about a “Basic Law for teachers”, analogous to the Hippocratic oath? Scholar Michael Felten does this with regard to Germany, but his thoughts are no less important for Swiss teachers.
Press Release

“An ethical force of independence and objectivity”

Launch of new independent medical journal

(21 June 2024) (sv) In a press release dated 5 June 2024, the doctors of the FLCCC Alliance (Front Line Covid19 Critical Care Alliance)* announced the founding of a new medical journal. They are thus drawing the consequences from bitter experiences during the Covid pandemic: their tireless, scientifically based commitment to the efficient treatment of Covid patients with already known, inexpensive drugs was massively opposed by the WHO and the pharmaceutical industry. Dr Pierre Kory illustrates this battle in his book “The war on Ivermectin.”1 – The new scientific journal provides helpful guidance for laypeople and healthcare professionals with regard to further pandemics.
