by Jean-Pierre Saw

(2 February 2025) This January 2025, we all wake up with a dull feeling – something is wrong. There are more and more latent and open crises that herald major upheavals. As Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis notes in the “Tamedia” newspapers, “the world is not doing well” – a brief foray.

Publicly funded librarians impose their world view on readers by an index of dangerous books

by Norbert Häring*

(24 January 2025) (CH-S) In Germany, the “addiction” to censor public opinion is still gathering pace, whereas in Switzerland, thank God, it has not been as strong so far. Although there are forces here that want to emulate Germany and the EU in this respect – keyword “Digital Services Act” – they have been somewhat curbed so far.

However, the trend towards opinion restriction is continuing in Germany, as Norbert Häring shows using the example of public libraries.

Recognise WHO as an instrument of power and act accordingly

by Dr. med. Sabine Vuilleumier-Koch

(17 January 2025) The event organised by the “Swiss Standpoint” on 3/4 January 2025 with lic. iur. Jürg Vollenweider, former Senior Public Prosecutor in the Canton of Zurich,was met with great interest. His lecture more than met his objective: “We have to educate people about the new WHO regulations and their impact on our fundamental freedoms in their own language, so that they can understand the dangerous tendencies towards the expansion of uncontrolled power structures.” His stimulating, differentiated presentation informed and encouraged the audience to ask many questions and develop their own considerations.
