A conversation with Col. Jacques Baud

Welcome to the European Union’s ‘démocrature system’

Swiss citizen – subject to EU sanctions –
receives daily support from EU citizens in Brussels

by Ian Proud,* former British diplomat

(30 October 2026) (CH-S) The sanctions imposed by the Council of the European Union on Jacques Baud, a Swiss citizen and renowned military analyst, constitute a serious violation of the right to freedom of expression, which is a hallmark of the rule of law. Under the Federal Constitution, the Swiss Federal Council has a duty to protect the rights and freedoms of the people. It is outrageous that it is not using all the means at its disposal to campaign for the lifting of these sanctions.

World peace is indeed possible”

“Climate Change” as a project of foundations

Jacob Nordangård on climate change as a steering instrument in universities

by Dr Peter F. Mayer*

(23 October 2026) (CH-S) Eugenics, health or climate – over the decades, internationally active foundations have been gaining ever greater influence over day-to-day politics in individual states. The Swedish researcher Jacob Nordangård is investigating their influence on global climate policy.

Gaza – “It was like a video game. Your hormones go haywire”

An AI analysed mobile phone data and identified “terrorists”. These people were killed by drones at night, along with their families and neighbours.

by Urs P. Gasche*

(23 October 2026) The AI is called “Lavender”. It can analyse the phone connections and calls of all mobile phone users in Gaza and, using an algorithm, identify who belongs to the terrorists. Because the Israeli army considers it highly likely that the targeted individuals are in their private homes at night, their flats or blocks of flats were bombed and destroyed by drones at the touch of a button. Their wives, children and neighbours were also swept to their deaths as “collateral damage”.

War against Yemen endangers Saudi crown prince’s position

by Moon of Alabama*

(23 October 2026) In the 1930s, during the formation of Saudi Arabia, three provinces were taken from Yemen. The Yemeni have always wanted them back. They are now in a position where they may eventually achieve that aim.

The western parts of Yemen are unlike the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The area is mountainous and gets a decent amount of precipitation. Some 80% of the 33 million Yemeni live in there. Agricultural production in the mountains is however difficult and Yemen has long been dependent on trade to acquire enough food to keep its people alive.

The remaining challenges after the referendum

by Jean-Daniel Ruch,* former ambassador

(16 October 2026) Strictly speaking, the result of the referendum on 27 September is not particularly significant. The roots of the problem that is eroding the credibility of our foreign and security policy run deep. They have a name: foreign influence. These are well documented, particularly in the brand-new exposé by the German-Swiss journalist Rafaël Lutz.1
