How do you FOOL a nation into NATO? Right, you prepare everything in the background—NATO-standard weapon systems, cooperation agreements, political coordination, certifications, even interoperability standards—so that on day X all that is needed is a political decision to flip the switch and that's it (the Swedish and Finnish model). If this succeeds, then congratulations, you are now a proud satellite of US Empire and may send your sons and daughters to die for what ever nobel cause the wise strategists in Washington have come up with. And official Switzerland—its political elites—are SWALLOWING THE GLOBALIST PILL WHOLE. The Swiss Government has been releasing a series of official reports that clearly outline the countries intention to become interoperable with NATO up to the point where Switzerland aspires to receive NATO certifications for adjusting its standards.

Part 1 of a 2: Interview with Alberto Togni, a member of Switzerland's communist party, who tells us that even in Switzerland pro-peace voices in the Russo-Ukraine war are being smeared as "Putin Puppets."

After a conviction in the USA under highly questionable conditions, which had been criticized multiple times by the UN Human Rights Commission, he was released in 2014 and returned to Cuba. He is now the chairman of the Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) and recently visited Germany in that capacity. In an interview with Florian Warweg, he discussed his intelligence mission in the USA, the role of German solidarity with Cuba, the reasons for Washington's ongoing obsession with the Caribbean island, the effects of the over 60-year-old US embargo, the prospects for a US withdrawal from the illegally occupied Guantanamo region, and geopolitical shifts. He also provided comprehensive and unvarnished insights into the reasons and impacts of the severe economic and social crisis currently being experienced in Cuba.

Just when you thought that repressions, cancel culture, and defamations can't get much worse in Europe, there comes along Germany and shatters even the remaining bit of norms left about the "liberal democracy". On the weekend of April 14, activists and scholars had planned to hold a congress in Berlin to discuss the plight of the Palestinians, but the event was dissolved by special police forces within only 2 hours, some of its speakers were arrested and others were barred from entering Germany, including Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister and current greek politician. Here is the full story with Dieter Reinich, interviewed by Fritz Edlinger (our colleague and friend in Vienna).

The EU to this day treats Africa as a colonial backyard that must be 'managed' rather than engaged with on equal footing. At the same time, Josep Borrell begs China to recognise the EU as a fellow great power—something no self-respecting power would ever even dream of. All of this is symptomatic not only for the EU commissions current mental state, but the history of the Union, a history it often downplays or forgets about all together. My guest today is a Swedish academic; Professor Peo Hansen of Linköping University. His research focuses among other things on European integration, migration, political economy, and geopolitics. Dr. Hansen is the author of several books, including “Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism” of which there is also an academic article and recently he wrote a short magazine article as well. The book: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/eurafrica-9781780930008/ The academic article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5406/historypresent.7.1.0001 The short article: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2023/10/31/the-colonial-origins-of-european-integration/
