Share this article As my friends, clients and readers already know, I always tend to look at the world, despite its many problems, threats and disappointments, though an optimistic lens. However, even for a terminally glass-half-full kind of guy like myself, it is getting harder and harder to see the bright side given the state of affairs over the last years. It appears we going from one manufactured crisis to the next, and at each turn, more of our liberties are being taken away, more of...

Share this article For decades, Western democracies operated under a comfortable consensus: censorship was a blunt instrument reserved for authoritarian regimes, while the “free world” relied on open debate, robust dissent, and constitutional safeguards.

He frames central banking as the “core element of evil,” makes explicit claims about a “Jewish mob”...

Share this article Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary The interview that follows offers a most necessary and timely opportunity for self-reflection that the US and Europe so desperately need at this critical moment.

Share this article Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary American foreign policy and the nation’s geopolitical strategy have slowly but surely undergone a radical transformation. War is no longer seen as an absolute last resort reserved for genuine self-defense scenarios or as a response to clear and present danger to US citizens. It has been rebranded into a permanent managerial exercise and it has become part of everyday life. And even though it seemingly leaves the everyday...

Share this article Part of the upcoming “World War III” documentary At a time when it takes great courage, and a great appetite for risk, to speak one’s mind freely about the most important issue in the world right now, it sure is reassuring to see that there important voices that still have what it takes to do so. The interview that follows is a prime example of that. Chas Freeman is a highly distinguished retired American diplomat, polyglot, and author with a career spanning over three...

History might not repeat itself, but it does rhyme, as the saying goes, and the past is always the best teacher to prepare us for the future. For many of our fellow humans, 2024 was yet another turbulent year, filled with terrible strife, war, death, pain and indescribable suffering. The two ongoing war fronts and the images that reach us all...

You can find the full speech, in German with English subtitles, here. It tackles the very difficult, but also very crucial, subject of individual freedom, or what is left of it these days, and it seeks to offer a constructive analysis from a Swiss perspective.  It is...

It has been a rollercoaster, violently swinging from highs to lows and from darkness to light, from autocracy, tyranny and despotism to humanism and individualism and...
