The myth of the “peaceful and benevolent European Union”

by Pierre Lévy,* France

(4 April 2025) We can be grateful to Donald Trump for inadvertently provoking interesting admissions: when he argued that the EU was founded to “cheat” on the US, pro-European politicians cried out in outrage, pointing out that the bloc was created under Washington’s auspices.

Developing courage for peace

Impact of propagandistic narratives of good and evil and how we can counter them

by Marita Brune-Koch

(4 April 2025) The destruction of the economic basis of our society, the restriction of our fundamental rights and freedoms, and even the instigation and support of wars that could affect and destroy us all – why do people go along with so much of this almost without contradiction? Much has already been said about this, and analyses of propaganda and its effects are available. But what about the individual? Why do people not object, but submit – obediently or enthusiastically – to the looming destruction of their economic and even physical existence and that of their loved ones? Why do many demonstrate against the far right – as is the case in Germany – rather than for peace?

Switzerland

For an autonomous and independent security policy – Yes to the neutrality initiative!

by René Roca*

(4 April 2025) Switzerland should finally formulate an autonomous and independent security policy. This has been necessary for some time, but it is being put off. Apparently, an increasing integration with NATO is more important (e.g. Sky Shield).

Brussels’ gravitational pull

Why the EU welcomes closer cooperation with Switzerland

by Thomas Scherr*

(4 April 2025) For many decades, our country has managed to stay out of existential danger – not only from the First and Second World Wars. Now Switzerland seems to be increasingly caught in the gravitational field of an increasingly belligerent and greedy-for-money EU.

At the same time, politics and the media in the country are buzzing around disorientated, with the navigation system switched off, through the undeclared, Europe-wide synchronised media opinion and emotions’ carpet. Who is familiar with the institutes “East StratCom Task Force”, “Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence” or “Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence”, which have been working since the mid-2010s? The censorship of opinion via the EU’s “Digital Services Act” is better known. What does this mean for Switzerland and its population?

The EU’s propaganda machine

New report out on how the EU funds NGOs to promote itself and lobby for “more Europe”

by Thomas Fazi*

(28 March 2025) (CH-S) Independent journalist Thomas Fazi works his way through the jungle of EU-funded “non-governmental organisations” (NGOs) to find that the EU uses taxpayers' money to fund propaganda for its own ends, often in contradiction to the EU states themselves.

Fazi's article is also of interest to Switzerland, which is increasingly coming under fire from the EU and where various lobby organisations have been deliberately pursuing a rapprochement with Brussels for years.

International Health Regulations

Swiss parliamentarians are not giving up

The citizens’ support is also needed to reject the IHR

by Dr med. Sabine Vuilleumier-Koch*

(28 March 2025) Before 19 July 2025, the Federal Council is to make use of its right to “opt out” and thus reject the amendments to the “International Health Regulations” (IHR) (2005) of the “World Health Organization” (WHO). This would enable the Swiss Parliament and the electorate to review the amendments and their impact on national health policy in a democratic process. So far, both the Federal Council and the majority of the National Council and the Council of States have refused to initiate this process. However, courageous politicians and civil rights organisations are not giving up.
