Pascal Lottaz sent a letter of support for Jacques Baud and Nathalie Yamb following the EU sanctions to Switzerland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Foreign Affairs. "Dear Federal Councillor Cassis, Dear Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, I take the liberty of sending you the following open letter on behalf of more than 300 Swiss citizens from the fields of diplomacy, academia, journalism, politics, and other concerned individuals. We urgently ask you to intervene in every appropriate manner on behalf of our fellow citizens Mr. Jacques Baud and Ms. Nathalie Yamb, and to protest in the strongest possible terms against their sanctioning by the European Union. The inclusion of the two individuals on an EU sanctions list is a politically motivated act of repression and is in no way compatible with the fundamental human right to freedom of expression, as provided for in Article 19 of the Charter of the United Nations. Although both individuals have the right to seek a review of the legality of these measures before the European Court of Justice, the sanctions have immediate and severe effects on their fundamental freedoms. This constitutes a case of administrative punishment without a court ruling. There is well-founded concern that further sanctions of this kind against unwelcome opinions held by Swiss citizens will follow. This act can only be challenged at the political level, and we ask you to do so. We need you and the strength of your Department of Foreign Affairs. With the highest respect, Dr. Pascal Lottaz" https://neutralitystudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Intervention-fur-Baud-Yamb-FINAL.pdf

"What if the very agency sworn to protect America’s most vulnerable children became the largest legally protected kidnapping network in the country? For decades, Child Protective Services was sold to the public as a shield for abused and neglected kids. Today, it operates like a ruthless quota-driven machine: incentivised by federal funding under the Adoption and Safe Families Act, empowered by near-unlimited authority, and shielded by secrecy and immunity. Good intentions still exist in pockets, but those pockets have become the perfect camouflage for a system that now destroys far more families than it saves." Ryan Matta is a Documentary Film Maker and Investigative Journalist who's on a divine mission to expose the world's largest child trafficking network.

⚠️Satire Alert⚠️ "For months, there has been concern that the Epstein files could mistakenly suggest Trump and his friends are paedophiles. Dozens of rich, old men suddenly became interested in emigrating to Tel Aviv. Trump considered bombing Venezuela, Nigeria, and even 3i Atlas. Prince Andrew requested one of those cells with malfunctioning cameras so he could be suicided away to a tropical island. Thankfully, all their fears have proven ill-founded…"

⚠️Satire Alert⚠️ "All of us agree that the one thing the government could do to solve the cost of living crisis and make life bearable for everyone is to put surveillance software in our devices and spy on everything we do. That way they can “keep children safe” and ensure none of us ever step out of line again. The Online Safety Act was the first step in achieving this goal…"

"By awarding its peace prize to Trump’s favorite Venezuelan opposition figure, pro-war coup plotter Maria Corina Machado, the Nobel Committee contravened the principles enshrined in its founding documents, as well as Swedish law, Julian Assange alleged in an explosive brief reviewed by The Grayzone."

"Many might have thought, “How can a medical student continue their education during and after the genocide?” As for me, I have experienced it myself, and through it, I learnt that struggle has meanings beyond just achieving grades. The struggle here is for survival... And for a future that awaits me amidst the rubble of life. Many lectures and countless slides await my study." #freepalestine

"When German journalists Röper and Lipp were sanctioned, no one in Switzerland reacted—now one of the world's most respected military analysts is being sanctioned—a Swiss citizen. Weltwoche is waking up, Switzerland is fast asleep." View quoted note →

"According to French media, Palantir is no longer a peripheral tool but the central software architecture of the French Secret Services (DGSI), a level of dependence so deep that even some of America’s closest allies have refused to accept it on sovereignty grounds. The contradiction is stark. As Europe warns of foreign interference, influence operations, and strategic dependency, France is voluntarily handing the keys to its intelligence infrastructure to a company rooted in a system that explicitly views Europe as a strategic arena to be shaped."

"On 15 December, the European Union took a step that few could have imagined: it sanctioned twelve individuals, including Swiss analyst and former intelligence officer Jacques Baud and French national Xavier Moreau, not for breaking the law, but for expressing views deemed politically inconvenient. Asset freezes, travel bans, and economic restrictions were imposed without any judicial process. While presented as an EU initiative, the fingerprints of NATO’s strategic communications and information-control apparatus are unmistakable, shaping both the targets and the justification."

"With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, his own political destiny and the interests of Jews in a terrible, terrifying mix. The broad stroke charge of antisemitism is the front name of this venture, and it conveniently presents itself whenever Israeli policy requires an alibi when pursuing particularly unsavoury policies: massacre, starvation and dispossession of Gazans; the continued destruction and intended eradication of a functional Palestinian entity; efforts to prevent criticism of its settler policies in other countries."

Good article about the end of neutrality in Switzerland. It is in German but if you're interested just run it through a translator in your browser. "Die sicherheitspolitische Strategie der Schweiz 2026 bedeutet die unumkehrbare Integration in Militärbündnisse, die Militarisierung der Schweiz und die aktive Beteiligung an einem möglichen Grossen Krieg."
