“Why world peace depends on Germany”

Assessments by Hauke Ritz, publicist and philosopher, Berlin

by Marita Brune*

(12 September 2025) Attentive observers of world affairs have long wondered why European countries, especially Germany, not only fail to support Trump’s peace initiatives, but even seek to undermine them. This is particularly true of Germany, a country whose politicians have blindly followed everything that has been dictated by the US for decades. Has Germany suddenly discovered that it could act independently? It is impossible to ignore the fact that Europe is doing everything it can to prolong the terrible war in Ukraine. Is Europe, is Germany now possibly responsible for an escalation of this war, which could lead to a world war?

All “disinformation”?

How the state interferes with freedom of expression and freedom of the press

by Dr Jonas Tögel*

(12 September 2025) (CH-S) In the following article, Jonas Tögel describes the dramatic deterioration of freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Germany and the EU, and the methods being used to further destroy them. Most EU states today face accusations of treating their citizens in a despotic manner, patronising them and treating them as compliant subjects.

“Gaza is a hotbed of human rights violations”

Interview with Philippe Lazzarini (UNRWA)* conducted by Guy Mettan**

(5 September 2025) On Friday, 22 August, the United Nations declared a state of famine in Gaza, where more than half a million people are in a “catastrophic” situation. The helpless majority of the world’s population is outraged, while the West remains inactive. Trapped in their guilt over the Holocaust, Western powers remain passive in the face of Israeli attacks, even though a new genocide is underway and a confidential report by the Israeli army confirms that 83% of the 62,000 people killed in Gaza are innocent civilians.

“All peoples must be respected by the powerful in their identity and rights”

Joint Statement by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, 26 August 2025

“In the path of righteousness there is life, in walking its path there is no death” (Proverbs 12,28). 

What a topsy-turvy world!

Responsibility for educational success shifted from adults to children

by Christine Staehelin*

(5 September 2025) The survey data from the check tests carried out in north-western Switzerland and other performance tests in Switzerland speak for themselves. The decline in performance in German is particularly noticeable at primary level, and there are significant differences in performance between children. Social background – however it is defined here – clearly plays a major role, even more so than mother tongue, as was previously assumed. However, the data does not reveal the causes.
Federal referendum on 28 September

Coercion with e-ID

Those who do not wish to donate organs must present their e-ID

by Regina Castelberg*

(5 September 2025) (CH-S) In Switzerland, passports and identity cards currently only need to be presented when required by law – for example, when opening a bank account or collecting a registered letter from the post office. This rarely occurs in everyday life. In the federal referendum on 28 September 2025, we as Swiss citizens will decide whether, in addition to physical identity, an “electronic identity”’ (e-ID) should also be created. The following article cites one of many examples where, according to a statement by the “Federal Office of Public Health” on 14 August, this electronic identity is to be made mandatory in a sensitive area that affects everyone.
