On 19 September the speech of Winston Churchill that he gave on the same day in 1946 in Zurich will again be much in the news: it was a great call to create a United States of Europe. The Swiss Federal Council and the Churchill-devotee Schneider-Ammann will take this occasion to receive Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the EU Commission. The meeting is intended to use Churchill’s visit and speech in 1946 as a means of trying to stir up once again an appetite among the Swiss people for a gradual entry into the EU. We shall repeat once again the key sentence from a speech which Churchill gave on 14 May 1947 in London: “The creation of an authoritative, all-powerful world order is the ultimate aim towards which we must strive (…) Without a United Europe there is no sure prospect of world government. lt is the urgent and indispensable step towards the realisation of that ideal.”1
Those who don’t want to have sand kicked in their eyes should, beyond the Zurich speech, not forget the almost unknown, and much more important London speech, which reveals the distant Anglo-American goal connected with the unification of Europe. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung on 13/14 August 2016 put the following sentences on its front pages: “Russian foreign policy is concentrating on its military and is provoking NATO from the North Sea to the Near East. The West must find an appropriate answer.”
The fact is that in 2015 the annual military expenditure of the USA at $596 billion puts that of China ($215 billion), Saudi Arabia ($87 billion) and Russia into the shade. Russia is fourth with $66 billion. The military spending of the NATO countries combined is more than ten times that of Russia.
While this twisting of the facts by the NZZ is highly unpleasant, more welcome news is that there has recently been founded in Switzerland an organisation for the uncovering of the deliberate deception of the public with regard to 9/11. A call for an event on 10 September states: “11 September 2001 continues to determine our present. This is still shown whenever it is said that since that date everything has changed. The so-called ‘War on Terror‘ has not only cost 1.5 million lives, suffering, poverty and mountains of money on armaments, it has also destabilised countries in the Near East and has made millions of people homeless, causing them to become refugees. Systems for mass surveillance have been built up which also affect data traffic in and out of Switzerland. The knowledge of the truth that on 11 September 2001 the three (!) towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York were blown up, changes our perspective on the ‘War on Terror’. Terror can also be a crime committed with the knowledge of politicians and institutions such as secret services, in order to push through spending on armaments, to limit basic democratic rights and to set up bogeymen, or to influence elections, all of which Operation Gladio showed in the 1980s in Europe.”- Andreas Gross, AE911truth.ch
A year ago we highlighted the activities von Richard Gage, the founder of the organisation Architects and Engineers for  9/11 Truth, which has now founded a Swiss branch. Among the courageous 9/11 critics in the West is also Catherine Austin Fitts, whose many-sided activities we have drawn attention to for the first time in this issue (see p. 12).
The President of Turkey likes to make himself out to be a new Atatürk. Erdogan abuses the good name that the founder of the new Turkey in the 1920s still has today among most Turks. What Mustafa Kemal Atatürk really did and wanted will be presented in the next issue.
