New research shows the alarming connection between the lung sanatoriums in Davos and the Nazi extermination policy, which sent around 10,000 tuberculosis patients from Germany to Switzerland for treatment during World War II. #Davos #Nationalsozialismus #Euthanasie (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that the historic Town Hall of Limoges, built in 1883, was burning while people cheered and sneered. The building had survived two world wars unscathed; Nethe blamed leftist destructive fury for its destruction and described the incident as a sign of the decline and loss of control of Western civilization. He accused European politics of passively watching the destruction of cultural heritage and the endangerment of public safety. He wrote that anyone who downplays or ignores the events is gradually giving up their homeland and history. #KulturErbe #Zivilisation #Limoges (translated)

Artificial intelligence referred to the fire of the tower of the town hall of Limoges as a symbol of the downfall of Western civilization. It stated that the building, completed in 1883, had survived both world wars, but was now aflame amid cheers and jubilation. For the alleged perpetrators, it used a derogatory term. https://t.co/75ZlnbGbuS #Untergang #Zivilisation #Geschichte (translated)

In World War II, we learned: If we do not stand up to an aggressor in Europe, it will come back to haunt us later. We must strengthen Ukraine and our NATO allies as they stand up to Russian aggression – so that we do not have to. Talarico replies: "In World War II, we learned: If we do not stand up to an aggressor in Europe, it will come back to haunt us later. We must strengthen Ukraine and our NATO allies as they stand up to Russian aggression – so that we do not have to." #Trump #Russland #Ukraine (translated)

Steffan Nethe 4d

Steffan Nethe honored the mayors Marco Jahns from Grimmen and Thomas Pauketat from Sundhagen for having left the CDU. He wrote that their statements showed they could no longer identify with the political course of the party and that the CDU was also losing its own members. Nethe cited the ongoing de-industrialization, the worst financial crisis of municipalities since World War II, a loss of control over internal security, and the ignoring of the voters' will as reasons. He also criticized that taxpayer money was being spent abroad, while in his opinion it was needed domestically for municipalities, care, and pensions. Nethe described the dual exit in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as an alarming sign. He wrote that the CDU had lost touch with reality and with its voters. #CDU #Kommunalpolitik #MecklenburgVorpommern (translated)

The author announced a lecture by Wolfgang Effenberger in the Berlin speaking hall. Effenberger was to speak about British geopolitics, the American century, the interests of financial capital, and the power of war propaganda. The contribution framed the evening with the idea that one must understand the First World War in order to prevent a Third. #Geopolitik #Weltgeschichte #Krieg #DE #GB #US (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that Henri Kagan received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2026 at the age of 95. As a Jewish boy, he lived with his family under a false name in France during World War II. Kagan shared the award with Japanese professor Kenso Soai. Both were recognized for their work on mirror-image molecules, which Goldstein-Wolf stated have contributed to the safer and more precise production of medications. #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Wissenschaft (translated)

The author wrote that Boris Pistorius is right. The AfD and BSW would enable Vladimir Putin to annex Ukraine through brutal attacks on the civilian population. A massacre and the subsequent civil war would, in his assessment, bring the largest wave of refugees to Germany since World War II.

U.M. OSINT 2w

U.M. OSINT explained that he is often criticized for speaking of "the Palestinians" instead of just Hamas. Highlighting Hamas conveys the impression in the West, in his view, that the Palestinians are largely innocent and the responsibility lies solely with a ruling class. In the Gaza Strip and, in a different composition, in the West Bank, the Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the PFLP, the DFLP, the Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah, and other groups are also active. According to U.M. OSINT, the motivation of these groups is distorted in the West. Their goal is the destruction of Israel; they internally view Israel's existence as an occupation of their land. This perspective is also adopted by Western left extremists. U.M. OSINT referred to the resistance against Israel's existence as Muqāwama and stated that civilian, peaceful resistance means Ṣumūd. Citing the recent survey by the Palestinian PCPSR (Poll No 97, 12.08.2026), he wrote that 50% of respondents opposed a two-state solution and 32% supported armed resistance. The latter figure is the lowest ever recorded; in December 2023, it was at 68%. According to an INSS survey (National Security Studies INSS, Special Survey: Palestinian Public Opinion in the West Bank, 17.09.2026), 43% support a Palestinian state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Of those, 26% wanted to allow no Jewish presence in such a state, which, according to U.M. OSINT, affects nearly 1.5 million Palestinians. To justify his terminology, he referred to historical comparisons: despite armed resistance in Italy, today, people talk about the Allies' fight against Italy and not just against the Partito Nazionale Fascista. The pro-imperial Taisei Yokusankai is hardly known in Europe; people simply talk about Japan. In World War II, more than 17 million Germans fought, and millions also contributed to the armaments industry and in organizations. It would be strange, he wrote, to attribute the war solely to members of the NSDAP. U.M. OSINT argued that a society bears collective responsibility when it is permeated by a system. Whether Palestinians internally struggle for an Islamist or secular society is of no consequence to Israel externally. In his view, the portrayal of the situation as an occupation of the West Bank is directed at uninformed people in the West. The so-called resistance began long before the founding of Israel and took on current structures while Israel had not yet occupied anything; at that time, the Palestinian autonomous areas were occupied and annexed by Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, from at least 1947, about 1,000 former members of the Waffen-SS fought on the Palestinian side in the so-called Arab Liberation Army (ALA). If he refers to a specific association or terrorist organization, he names it explicitly; otherwise, he speaks of the Palestinians. #Palästinenser #Hamas #Nahostkonflikt (translated)

Dr. David Lütke summarized the statements of a contribution as a question of why more and more Germans were voting for the AfD, although Germany was not doing so poorly, and as a claim that AfD voters wanted a world war.
