🇨🇭❌💻 Secure encryption and online anonymity are now at risk in Switzerland – here's what you need to know

Switzerland is considering amending its surveillance law to expand into new types of monitoring and data collection.

The changes – which experts argue will put people's anonymity and secure encryption at risk – would widen the net of impacted service providers to virtual private networks (VPNs), messaging apps, and social networks, having previously only impacted mobile networks and internet service providers (ISPs).

Consultations are now public and open until May 6, 2025. Speaking to TechRadar, NymVPN has explained how it's planning to fight against it, alongside encrypted messaging app Threema and Proton, the provider behind one of the best VPN and secure email services on the market.

🇺🇸❌🌊 US suspends financial contributions to WTO (World Trade Organization), trade sources say

The Trump administration is retreating from global institutions it sees as at odds with his "America First" economic policies. It plans to quit some, such as the World Health Organization, and has cut contributions to others as part of a broad review of federal spending.

🚫🌎💱 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Globalization As We Knew It, Is Over | March 26, 2025:

"The signal and "What's that noise overhead?"

As discussions over who said what over Signal swirled among US politicians and journalists -- on Signal -- US consumer inflation expectations leaped to 6.2% y-o-y, which is hardly the anchored level the Fed keeps telling us is the signal they are receiving. Worse, prices paid in the Philly Fed services survey hit 36, the highest since November 2023, with a plunge in activity to -32.5, the lowest since May 2020 in Covid lockdown. In other words, sinking like an anchor. As is a lot else.

The US insists a Russia-Ukraine Black Sea ceasefire has been agreed, lifting restrictions on Russian agri and fertiliser exports in response, even as Russia says it first wants the full lifting of sanctions on its banks in SWIFT, which would require EU approval. If that’s forthcoming, where does it leave EU statecraft: buying Russian gas again, or --sarcasm-- Russian weapons? If Europe says no, what if the US is even more incentivized to just leave and leave Europe the bill, as we saw from that Signal chat? Worse, reports also have US intel saying Russia and Ukraine may prefer a longer war to a quick settlement unsatisfying to either; the US also still sees a risk that Russia may resort to nuclear weapons. In which case, it’s on Europe again.

(...)

Summing things up, HSBC says "globalization as we knew it is over", news to those thinking asset prices go as high as smoothly as they used."

🇺🇸🏛📈💥📆 — 📰 ZeroHedge | US Treasury Could Default As Soon As August, CBO Warns | March 26, 2025:

"Earlier this week we pointed out the striking plunge in the Treasury's cash balance which had averaged around $800 billion for the past 18 months, and which plunged by $480 billion in the past month.

Regular readers are aware of the reason for this plunge: ever since the US hit the debt ceiling in the last days of the Biden administration, the US Treasury has been unable to issue new debt and so has been forced to draw down its cash to fund day to day operations.

Obviously, there is a limit to how much longer this can continue: after all, once the cash balance hits 0, the Treasury will have to start prioritizing payments, and eventually, it may even have to delay payments of interest or repayments of principal... better known as default."

""He will have to feel the full force of this determined alliance." NATO Secretary General warns Vladimir Putin against attacking Poland

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a stern warning to Vladimir Putin in Warsaw.

"Whoever thinks that they can attack Poland or another NATO country and remain unpunished is deeply mistaken. They will have to feel the full power of this determined alliance"

— he said after a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.


Rutte stressed that the alliance's response to possible Russian aggression would be "crushing." According to him, Moscow remains "the biggest and most serious threat" to NATO. He noted that Russia is putting its economy on a "war footing," which could significantly strengthen its army.

The NATO chief welcomed plans by European countries and Canada to increase defence spending, but added that this was still not enough.

"I agree with President Trump: allies need to invest more in their own security"

— Rutte said.

He also assured that despite political differences, the partnership with the United States remains “the cornerstone of the alliance” – and “this will not change.”

🇪🇺🚫🤝🇷🇺🕊🇺🇦 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Europe Rules Out Easing Of Russian Sanctions, Killing Ceasefire Hopes | MAR 27, 2025:

"French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting nations in Paris who make up a 'coalition of the willing' in their continued support to Ukraine, and on Thursday he has announced that sanctions on Russia will not be lifted, as unanimously agreed to among participants.

The twenty-seven heads of mostly European states and governments represented there further agreed there will be no easing of sanctions in exchange for a Black Sea ceasefire.

A new Black Sea peace initiative was unveiled by Washington at the Riyadh talks, and agreed to by both warring parties as of Wednesday, and would see Russian food and agricultural sanctions lifted, as well as the reconnection of Russian agricultural banks to the international Swift payment system."

"Kim Jong-un sends another three thousand troops to Russia

The South Korean General Staff reported that North Korea sent about 3,000 more troops to Russia from January to February 2025. Seoul estimates that 11,000 North Koreans have been deployed since the start of military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, of whom about 4,000 have already been killed or wounded.

In addition to manpower, Pyongyang continues to supply Moscow with missiles, artillery and ammunition. South Korea insists that such supplies and military deployments violate international law and "pose a threat to stability in the region." Seoul called on the world community to react more harshly to military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.

North Korea itself has not commented on the fact that its military is participating in the war against Ukraine."

🇮🇷🚫🚀🔫 — 📰 AntiWar | US Intelligence Says Iran Is ‘Not Building A Nuclear Weapon’ | March 25, 2025:

"US intelligence agencies have reaffirmed that there’s no evidence Iran is developing nuclear weapons or that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reversed his 2003 fatwah that banned the production of weapons of mass destruction.

“The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.

Gabbard’s comments were based on the annual threat assessment, which is released by the ODNI with input from all US intelligence agencies. The report did note that there have been more calls inside Iran to reverse the ban on nuclear weapons, which have grown in response to Israeli aggression in the region."

🏳🤫🇮🇱🚀🔫 — 📰 ZeroHedge | State Department Refuses To Acknowledge Israel's Nukes | Authored by Sam Husseini via Substack | March 26, 2025:

"Many thanks to Decensored News for this video of my questioning State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce yesterday, trannoscript below. Also just posted on X.

This leads to many questions including: Was JFK killed, at least in part, over Israel’s nukes? If so, is the US government’s refusal to acknowledge Israel’s nuclear weapons effectively a continuation of the assassination plot?

Is Trump about America First? Or Israel First?

Doesn’t the pattern of imperial Israel getting its way regarding US government policy give additional evidence to the Israel aspect of the Kennedy assassinations?"
