Among the many negative developments we have seen recently in Munich, the crisis of diplomacy is evident. Diplomatic meetings have the character of elitist private clubs and are held in parallel with international organisations.

The question of provability of vaccine damage associated with Covid-19 is difficult. Could excess mortality and causes of death be clues? While we look for evidence in the numbers, the technostructure is already striking its next blow.

Domestic intelligence services are being politically instrumentalised to criminalise legitimate and permitted political criticism by civil society.

The media elites have discovered a "new guiding culture" in what they call "morality. Politicians are guided by this "code of values" and produce policies that they believe will please the media and thus conform to majority opinion.

The information policy of fact checkers encourages stereotypical, quick and unconscious thinking. Very few fact-checkers stimulate strenuous, logical, calculating and conscious thinking.

The (re)production of simple political explanations is encouraged by digital media. Fact-checking platforms act as production sites of the simplest opinion-making, in the service of the technostructure.

"Qatargate" leads to hysterical excitement in European political and media circles. The fuss has a system - distracting from uncomfortable consequences that this affair will have for all of us: further surveillance and curtailment of liberties.

The technostructure is not only in competition with each other - as far as energy resources are concerned - but also with the states. In the process, it keeps most of the profits for itself. The states that are exploited have to bear the costs.

Climate change and Ukraine war are used as a pretext for an energy emergency. Europe is paying with inflation, recession, creeping expropriation and impoverishment. However, the technostructure needs energy to develop its instruments of domination.

Independent critical thinking in children is to be prevented before it can even develop. It is replaced by indoctrinated ideas.

An amendment to the criminal code will in future punish the public approval, denial and gross minimisation of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Is this is a state-ordered behaviour under threat of coercion and punishment?

Under the pretext of international law or the breach of rule of law principles, international courts are also abused for their own economic and political purposes. This is particularly evident in the behaviour of neutral states like Austria.

The Russian philosopher Yuri Alexandrovich Kovalev outlines the idea of a "continental union": The way to a society oriented towards the common good is through the model of the social market economy - and the Russian experiences of social transformation.

The supply crisis is the accelerator of social unrest in the months to come. The Secretary-General's speech to the General Assembly made it clear that the UN is part of the problem, not the solution.

On 14 September, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen began her speech - with reference to Ukraine and Russia - with a key sentence. If we look at this sentence from a different perspective, the alternative speech script almost unfolds itself.

The use of artificial intelligence at the interface between man and machine (virtual reality) continues to progress. Freedom of speech and the free expression and public dissemination of opinion are thus eradicated.

By intervening in freedom of expression, social platforms turn the transmission of information from a profit-making activity into a lucrative business. The situation becomes treacherous when the state allies with private groups.

The unconditional persecution of hate by NGOs, the media, politics and now also public prosecutors is leading to a new, subtle form of political and social terror that puts freedom of expression to the test and establishes a system of "mind control".

The crisis of democracy has its roots in the rapid erosion of the rule of law. The avalanche of norms at EU level through the intervention of the technostructure as well as the use of digitalisation accelerate this process.

We have too few effective mechanisms for removing those who run the state. This is one of the biggest flaws of democratic politics. Similarly, every citizen should be able to challenge political and ideological decisions in court.

Migration, globalisation and communitarisation through the European Union are undermining traditional participation in the form of elections; fewer and fewer people are being reached. But declining participation endangers the entire polity.

In an asymmetric war, the resistance can destabilise if it communicates among itself. Since it has very limited means, it must rely on the element of surprise. Its greatest strength lies in the unpredictability of its actions.

Anyone who is politically involved in resistance knows that undermining and weakening the resistance is an essential part of the enemy's strategy. What do we need to know about these strategies in order to be better prepared for them in resistance?

In the wake of the Corona and Ukraine crises, many states are remarkably unanimous in breaking taboos concerning data retention and digital identity.

Today, the potential for conflict is increasingly being discharged in non-military conflicts, such as trade wars, economic sanctions and cyber attacks. Even military neutrality or non-alignment does not protect against this form of hybrid warfare.
