Der Asylprofiteur, der das Daueropfer spielt
Von Roland Tichy Do, 16. April 2026
Das Versagen des Asylrechts und seine Verdrehung lässt sich am Asylaktivisten Hamado Dipama personifizieren – immerhin Rundfunkratsmitglied im Bayerischen Rundfunk. Einen blutrünstigen Diktator feiert er und instrumentalisiert das Recht des Gastlandes gegen seine Bewohner.

Trump’s On a Jihad Against Everyone (MOATS w/ George Galloway)
His megalomania has no limits, says Pulitzer prizewinner Chris Hedges. The Hormuz blockade is more bluster than reality. And how Iran has the capacity to cast the world into a global depression.

Brazil Quietly Shifts Away from the Dollar to Gold
Posted Apr 17, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
The Banco Central do Brasil has raised gold’s share of reserves from 3.55% to 7.19% in just one year, effectively doubling its exposure and making gold the second-largest reserve asset after the US dollar, while total reserves stand at approximately $358.23 billion and the dollar’s share has declined to about 72%, marking a record low. This is not a marginal adjustment or routine diversification, it is a structural …………………….

Donald Trump and Scott Bessent Destroy Any Chance to Negotiate an End to the War with Iran
16 April 2026 by Larry C. Johnson
Let me give you the bottomline up front… Despite positive developments in expanding the ceasefire to include Lebanon and Hezbollah, the Trump administration announced new sanctions on Iran that will end any chance of negotiations with Iran. Unless Trump reverses course, the US is likely to renew its attacks on Iran and will exacerbate the international economic crisis that was ignited by the closing of the Strait of Hormuz.

All hail the almighty return of Pirates of the Caribbean, now upgraded to Pirates of the Persian Gulf.

Das nackte große Merz-Klingbeil-Täuschungsmanöver – wie das „Sondervermögen“ an den Kommunen vorbeigeht
Do, 16. April 2026
Die Bundesregierung verkauft ihr schuldenfinanziertes „Sondervermögen Infrastruktur und Klimaneutralität“ als gewaltigen Investitionsschub. 100 Milliarden Euro – das klingt nach Aufbruch. Die Realität ist ernüchternd: Nur ein geringer Bruchteil dieses Geldes kommt überhaupt dort an, wo tatsächlich gebaut, saniert und modernisiert wird: in den Kommunen.

Deutsches Steuerzahlergeld für die Welt

Während die Menschen im eigenen Land verarmen, Familien geschröpft und Beitragszahler bis zum letzten Tropfen ausgeplündert werden, verteilt die Regierung Klingbeil-Merz weiter deutsche Steuergelder, Milliarden über Milliarden, in alle Welt und treibt das eigene Land immer tiefer in Schulden und Verfall. Das muss enden.

Serious Escalation: Russian MOD Implies Threatening Consequences Against Europe for Being Party to Conflict
Simplicius Apr 17, 2026
It has slowly become increasingly apparent that Ukraine may be utilizing the airspace of NATO countries for its recent spate of strikes against Russia. Specifically, it is the permissive Baltics that appear to be allowing Ukrainian drones to transit toward sensitive Russian sites near the Gulf of Finland and beyond, then blaming Russia when the drones crash on their territory.

The American People Should Not Be Forced to Fund Israel’s Atrocities
04/15/2026 Connor O’Keeffe
Today is tax day. It’s a day where Americans everywhere are forced to reflect on all the income we’ve been forced to hand over to the government. Unpleasant as that is by itself, it’s also worth going a step further and using the occasion to reflect on what the government is using our money for.
