Bakterien mit Abführwirkung: Im neuen Epidemiologischen Bulletin des Robert-Koch-Instituts findet sich ein Beitrag über Salmonellen, einen seit rund 2011 periodisch auftretenden Ausbruch von Salmonellose, verursacht durch Salmonella Strathcona. Salmonellose ist eine eher unangenehmen Magen-Darm-Erkrankung, die mit Durchfall, Übelkeit, Erbrechen, Fieber sowie Kopf- und Gliederschmerzen einhergeht, in manchen Fällen eine starke Dehydration bzw. eine Bakteriämie, eine systemische Ausbreitung der Salmonellen nach sich ziehen kann, die einen Krankenhausaufenthalt notwendig machen. Kurz: Nichts, was man haben will.

Der einst weltgrößte Solarpark in Erlasee, Bayern, wird zurückgebaut. Die Posse ist geradezu ein klassisches Beispiel für das Rent Seeking (wenige profitieren an vielen), die Raubrittermentalität, das Ausrauben von Steuerzahlern im Rahmen dessen, was als Energiewende bezeichnet wird. Bei allem, was ich jetzt an Kosten zusammentrage, muss berücksichtigt werden, dass dieselben Steuerzahler, die gezwungen sind, Solarparks wie den Solarpark Erlasee zu subventionieren, nicht nur die eklatante Differenz zwischen dem Abnahmepreis, der den Betreibern im Erneuerbare Energiengesetz GARANTIERT wird und dem Marktpreis zahlen müssen, sondern darüber hinaus, wegen unzuverlässiger Stromerzeugung, wie sie in Solar- und Winparks betrieben wird, die höchsten Strompreise in Europa entrichten müssen, also gleich zweimal ausgenommen werden. Und wer wissen will, warum die Betreiber lieber einen noch funktionsfähigen Solarpark abreißen, als ihn die 10 Jahre, die die Solarzellen noch "effizient" sind, zu betreiben, der finden die Antwort durch Klick auf den Link im Kommentar:

HOLD ON A MINUTE… WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THE BLOODY BOAT? They want to pursue Danny Tommo over alleged criminal damage. Fine. So let’s start with the obvious question. Who is going to come forward and say, “That’s my boat”? Who bought it? Who owns it? Where’s the paperwork? Who is claiming the damage? And what exactly is the alleged loss? Because surely you can’t have criminal damage without someone actually claiming that their property has been damaged. So I’m asking the question: WHO OWNS THE BOAT?

This photograph was posted proudly. Here is everything they hoped you would never know about the man in it, what his family did to this country, who his money funds, and why your Foreign Secretary standing next to him is one of the most dangerous things a British minister has ever done in public. Today. 25 September 2026. New York. United Nations week. While you were working, paying your bills, sitting in traffic, watching the news about yet another boat arriving on our shores, our Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband was smiling for a photograph with Alexander Soros and posting it online with the caption "inspired by his energy, ambition and determination to get things done." We are going to tell you exactly who Alexander Soros is, what his family has done to this country, what his money funds right now, and why this photograph is one of the most revealing and disgusting things a British government minister has ever done in public. Stay with us. Because this is the whole picture, and it is worse than you think. THE FAMILY THAT ALREADY BROKE BRITAIN ONCE You cannot understand Alexander Soros without starting with his father, because the son is simply a continuation of what the father began. And what the father did to this country was unforgivable. On 16 September 1992, Black Wednesday, George Soros bet ten billion dollars against the British pound. He single-handedly forced the Bank of England to its knees. He made one billion pounds profit in a single day. One man. One trade. One billion pounds taken directly from British families while ordinary people watched their mortgage rates explode overnight, their businesses collapse, and their government humiliated on the front pages of every newspaper in the world. Interest rates hit 15% in a single day. We did not do that to ourselves. He did it to us deliberately, cold-bloodedly, for personal profit. That is the family we are talking about. That is the blood money that built this empire. And now the son controls it. WHO IS ALEXANDER SOROS Alexander George Soros. Born 27 October 1985. Raised in a 14-room estate in Katonah, New York. Schooled at elite Connecticut prep schools. NYU degree. PhD from Berkeley in 2018. Lives in Manhattan. Married this year to Huma Abedin, the Clinton insider whose previous husband Anthony Weiner, a United States congressman, was jailed for sending sexually explicit messages to a minor. That is his inner circle. That is the world he lives in. He now controls $25 billion. He chairs the Open Society Foundations, the largest private political funding operation on earth. He runs Democracy PAC and Democracy PAC II, the super political action committees that pumped $125 million into the American Democratic Party in a single election cycle. He visited the Biden White House 25 times in three years. Not 25 times over a lifetime. 25 times in three years. More often than most elected congressmen. He met with national security officials, foreign policy advisers, Senate leadership. He had more informal access to American executive power than the ambassadors of most allied nations. He holds no elected office. He represents no one. He answers to no one. He told the Wall Street Journal when he inherited control of his father's empire: "I am more political than my father." More political. His father broke the Bank of England and made a billion pounds doing it. His father spent decades buying influence across Western democracies. His father was convicted of insider trading in France and lost the appeal at the European Court of Human Rights. And the son wants to be more political than that. WHAT HE HAS ALREADY DONE TO OUR COUNTRY This is not a foreign story. This is our story. When 17.4 million of us voted for Brexit in 2016, we made the largest democratic decision in the history of this country. We voted clearly. We voted freely. We voted to take our country back from a system that did not serve us. The Soros network decided our vote was wrong. Open Society Foundations, the organisation that Alexander Soros now chairs, funnelled £3,021,689 into anti-Brexit campaigns. They gave £1,213,689 to Best for Britain in 2019 alone. £1,087,000 in 2018. £400,000 in 2017. They gave money to the European Movement. They gave money to Scientists for EU. How did they get around our laws banning foreign donations to UK political campaigns? By routing the money through their London office. Open Society Foundation London. A company registered at Companies House. A company of which Alexander Soros is a listed UK director, verified by the British government as recently as 31 May 2026. They used a legal loophole in our own system to inject foreign billionaire money into a campaign to destroy the biggest democratic vote our country has ever held. Best for Britain was investigated by the Electoral Commission. Irregularities were confirmed. The money kept flowing anyway. And they did not even hide it. Open Society Foundations published a press release confirming every penny. They were that confident nothing would happen to them. They were right. THE SOROS MACHINE FUNDS THE OPEN BORDERS LOBBY Now we come to the part that should make every single person in this country who has watched those boats arrive day after day absolutely furious. Open Society Foundations openly declares on its own website that it is "the largest private funder of independent groups working for justice, equity, and human rights." One of its primary and stated funding priorities is migration and asylum. Its own website says it supports "groups that work on a broad range of issues affecting the safety and well-being of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers." In 2016, George Soros pledged $500 million specifically to migrant and refugee investment programmes. These are not neutral charities helping people in genuine need. These are political advocacy organisations that lobby governments to keep borders open, campaign against deportations, fight every attempt to control who enters our country, and tie the hands of every government that tries to enforce immigration law. In Italy, prosecutors investigated NGOs funded by Soros foundations for operating ships that picked up migrants close to the Libyan coast and transported them to Europe. The Italian Parliament raised formal questions about it. Multiple Soros-funded NGOs were named. Italian authorities seized vessels. The prosecutor in Catania asked publicly whether private organisations were being allowed to "replace political forces and the will of nations." The European Parliament formally asked the European Commission about the Ayatollah regime's collaboration with Open Society Foundation. The Commission confirmed it. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is on the official record of the European Parliament. Then there is this. In 2017, Iran's own Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif openly admitted that his government had "worked closely" with Open Society Foundations. Worked closely with the Soros network. That is not an allegation from a hostile source. That is Iran saying it themselves. THE IRGC IS USING OUR OPEN BORDER TO SEND KILLERS INTO BRITAIN AND SOROS FUNDS THE PEOPLE LOBBYING TO KEEP THAT BORDER OPEN In July 2026, two months ago, The Daily Telegraph revealed in a bombshell investigation that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, the military intelligence arm of the Iranian theocracy, has been using Channel crossing smuggling networks to move covert operatives into the United Kingdom. The specific unit responsible is IRGC Unit 700, the logistics and smuggling arm of the Quds Force, Iran's elite covert foreign operations division. Unit 700 does not just occasionally use these routes. According to The Telegraph's sources including Iranian officials, people smugglers, and security analysts, Unit 700 effectively controls several trafficking routes stretching from the Middle East to the English Channel. Suspected Iranian operatives intercepted in small boats are thought to have links to the Ministry of Intelligence and Security. Revolutionary Guard agents have been positioned in London through these networks. An Iranian source told The Telegraph directly: "We can make London unsafe." LBC confirmed it. GB News confirmed it. Iran International confirmed it. The New English Review confirmed it. Every credible outlet that looked at the intelligence confirmed it. The IRGC runs the Channel. The same Channel that has delivered hundreds of thousands of arrivals to our shores over the past several years. The same Channel that this government and every government before it has failed to close. And now join the dots that they hope you never join. The Soros network funds the open borders lobby. The open borders lobby campaigns to keep our borders exactly as they are: uncontrolled, unmonitored, effectively open. The IRGC exploits those open borders to run smuggling networks and move agents into Britain. Iran's own Foreign Minister has admitted working closely with the Soros network. OSF funded organisations are described by Italian prosecutors as facilitating migrant crossings across the Mediterranean. And Alex Soros has $46.7 million of his family's money flowing through the International Crisis Group, an organisation that has faced formal congressional scrutiny over its Iran-sympathetic positions. We are not saying Alex Soros personally phones IRGC commanders. We are saying that the machine he runs, the money he directs, the open borders ideology he funds, and the Iran relationships his organisation has openly admitted to, all combine to create a situation where Iran's intelligence service is walking agents into this country through the exact same open door that Alexander Soros's political machine has spent millions lobbying to keep open. If that is a coincidence, it is the most expensive and dangerous coincidence in our country's history. THE DOJ IS TRYING TO PROSECUTE HIM AND OUR FOREIGN SECRETARY CALLS HIM INSPIRING As of September 2025, the United States Department of Justice directed more than six US Attorney's offices to submit formal plans to investigate Open Society Foundations. The charge under consideration is RICO. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations. The law they use for organised crime. Capital Research Center's investigators found that OSF under Alexander Soros's leadership directed more than $80 million to organisations the FBI connects to domestic extremism. Grantees include groups that trained activists in property destruction during the 2020 riots that left American cities burning. Groups with members facing over 40 domestic terrorism charges. Groups with connections to violent far-left movements. President Trump said publicly: "We're going to look into Soros because I think it's a RICO case." Attorney General Pam Bondi said everything is on the table. And right now, today, while that investigation is active, while those accusations sit in the public domain, while British intelligence is watching IRGC agents arrive on our beaches through an open border kept open by the very ideology Soros funds, our Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stood in New York in his official capacity as Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, shook Alexander Soros's hand, and told the world he found him inspiring. LET US TALK ABOUT ED MILIBAND Because he does not get to hide behind his title today. This is the man who, in 2010, stabbed his own brother David in the back to seize the Labour leadership. David Miliband, widely regarded as the more able of the two, was destroyed politically by his own younger brother's ambition. He never returned to British frontline politics. Their mother was reportedly devastated. As Louise Mensch, no friend of ours but someone who said it clearly in the replies to Miliband's own tweet today, put it: "You were about as kind as Cain was to Abel." A man who knifes his own blood for personal advancement will do the same to a country without losing a moment's sleep. The Telegraph has called Miliband "even more dangerous as Foreign Secretary" than in any other role. The Spectator called his appointment "genuinely sickening" and "the most nauseating appointment of my lifetime." Multiple serious commentators across the political spectrum have confirmed in print that Miliband serves his own ideological conscience rather than Britain's interests. He has apologised to Palestinians on behalf of cabinets he was not even in charge of. He has courted Qatar while condemning allies. He ran an energy policy as Energy Secretary that blocked North Sea development and drove up bills for every family in this country. And now he is Foreign Secretary. The Telegraph reported in September 2026, just this month, that Miliband is "serving his own conscience, not Britain's interests." That was written before today's photograph. What he did today is worse than serving his own conscience. He served Alexander Soros's interests. He handed a man under federal investigation a diplomatic shield. He gave Soros access to the Burnham government at the highest level. He signalled to every government in Europe that Britain's Foreign Office is open to unelected billionaires with political agendas. He handed the Trump administration a photograph they can and will use to justify every suspicion that Britain is playing politics against them at the exact moment we need American goodwill for trade, security, and intelligence cooperation. And he put it on the internet himself. Proudly. As if we would not notice. THE FULL PICTURE Let us put it together plainly because it needs to be said plainly. George Soros made a billion pounds deliberately collapsing the British pound in 1992. His son now controls the machine his father built and has declared he wants to be more political than his father. That machine funnelled over £3 million through a UK company to overturn our Brexit vote in breach of the spirit of our foreign donations law. It funds open borders lobbying across Europe and America. It funds migrant advocacy groups on both sides of the Channel. Italy's prosecutors investigated Soros-funded NGOs for facilitating illegal crossings. Iran's own Foreign Minister admitted his government worked closely with the Soros network. The IRGC's Unit 700 controls Channel smuggling routes and has been moving covert operatives into Britain through those same routes. The US Department of Justice is pursuing RICO charges. $80 million went to extremism-linked groups. Alexander Soros visited the Biden White House 25 times in three years. And today, our Foreign Secretary, a man who knifed his own brother to get where he is, who The Telegraph and The Spectator and multiple credible outlets have described as dangerous, self-serving, and unfit, stood in New York and told Alexander Soros he finds him inspiring, and posted the proof online. This is not politics anymore. This is betrayal. This is the Foreign Secretary of our country publicly embracing a man whose machine has interfered in our elections, whose ideology keeps the Channel open, whose network Iran's own government has admitted working closely with, and who is currently being pursued by a federal RICO investigation in the United States. We built this country. We work in this country. We bled for this country. Our grandfathers died for this country. We vote in this country. And this Labour government is handing it over, one photograph at a time, to people who have never stood for election in our country and never will. SHARE THIS NOW. EVERY SINGLE WORD IS SOURCED. The Black Wednesday profit: Investopedia, Wikipedia, The Guardian confirmed. The Brexit funding: Open Society Foundations' own press release confirmed. The Electoral Commission investigation: BBC confirmed. Companies House UK directorships: GOV.UK official records confirmed. The DOJ RICO investigation: New York Times, ABC News, Axios, Reuters confirmed. $80 million terror-linked funding: Capital Research Center investigation confirmed. 25 White House visits: Washington Examiner, Fox News, official visitor logs confirmed. Iran FM Zarif admitting working with OSF: Jewish News Syndicate, Israel National News confirmed. European Parliament question on OSF-Iran collaboration: Official European Parliament record confirmed. IRGC Unit 700 controlling Channel routes: The Daily Telegraph, LBC, GB News, Iran International confirmed. Italian prosecutor investigation of Soros-funded NGOs: European Parliament record, InfoMigrants confirmed. Miliband "serving his conscience not Britain's interests": The Daily Telegraph September 2026. The photograph: Alexander Soros's own X post, 25 September 2026. Every claim. Every source. All public. All verifiable. None of this is hidden. It is all sitting there waiting for anyone who bothers to look. We looked. Now you know. SHARE IT. NOW.
Great to meet UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband in New York during UNGA week. Inspired by his energy, ambition, and determination to get things done.

Hi @andyburnham … why did none of these pro Palestine protesters get two year jail sentences for throwing objects at police and attacking them ? Why is it only white men on anti illegal immigration protests ? I condemn all doing it btw
Whilst Del Somerville has just been sentenced to 2 years for throwing a plastic bottle at a protest, I want to remind you that not a single one of these scumbags was ever even charged... Don't worry though guys, labour told us there is no two tier justice in the UK...

Wehrpflicht und Demokratie sind unvereinbar: Ein Recht “des Staates” auf Kriegsdienst der Bürger gibt es nicht Ein Plädoyer für politische Katallaxie Wehrpflicht, selbst die gewaltsame Durchsetzung von Wehrpflicht gegen die Willen der Betroffenen, wird von einigen, meist von Leuten, die keinerlei Skin in the Game haben, keinerlei Gefahr laufen, Gegenstand einer gewaltsam durchgesetzten Wehrpflicht zu werden, mit einem “Recht des Staates” oder einer “Notlage” oder einer sonstigen, die Beseitigung individueller Agency quasi-legitimierenden Rechtfertigung versehen. In diesem Post will ich auf die sparsamste Weise, die mir möglich ist, ein Argument entwickeln, das zeigt, dass es keine Wehrpflicht und keinerlei Legitimation darauf gründender Übergriffe auf die individuelle Agency / Handlungsfähigkeit, jedenfalls nicht außerhalb verbrecherischer, kollektivistischer Herrschaftssysteme, geben kann. Das Argument basiert auf drei Prämissen: Das elementare Ziel menschlichen Handelns ist der Selbsterhalt, die Sicherung des eigenen Überlebens. Alle anderen Ziele bauen auf dieser Grundlage auf, werden durch diese Grundlage erst möglich. Menschen weisen Dingen Wert / Nutzen zu und werden sich, entsprechend diesem attribuierten Wert für die jeweiligen Dinge einsetzen, sie aus eigenem Entschluss heraus verteidigen, wenn diese Verteidigung notwendig werden sollte. “Der Staat” ist eine sprachliche Klammer über einem Geflecht von Institutionen, das Positionen umfasst, die den Inhabern Möglichkeiten geben, das Leben anderer zu beeinflussen. Die Wahrnehmung dieser Möglichkeiten dient dem Ziel, das Leben dieser anderen ZU VERBESSERN. Eine andere Form der Wahrnehmung dieser Möglichkeiten kann es in demokratischen Staaten nicht geben. Eine Wahrnehmung dieser Position, um das Leben anderer in Gefahr zu bringen, ist grundsätzlich ausgeschlossen. Das größte Problem für eine Freie Gesellschaft, eine Offene Gesellschaft, wie sie Karl R. Popper entworfen hat, findet sich in Punkt 3, denn Positionen, die mit einer a-priori Legitimation als Position zur Verbesserung des Lebens anderer einhergehen, stellen offene Scheunentore für Missbrauch dar, bieten sich quasi denen, die Positionen zum eigenen Vorteil missbrauchen wollen, selbständig an. Der Grund schlechthin, warum die Kontrolle der Inhaber dieser Positionen so wichtig ist. Die beste Möglichkeit Positionsinhaber zu kontrollieren, besteht indes nicht darin, sie von der Zustimmung eines politischen Herren, der wiederum auf die Zustimmung eines Parlaments angewiesen ist, abhängig zu machen. Denn eine solche Regelung führt postwendend in die Probleme einer “feindlichen Übernahme” neutraler Positionen durch interessierte Gruppen, wie sie gerade beschrieben wurden. Die beste Möglichkeit, Positionsinhaber zu kontrollieren, besteht darin, sie von der KATALLAXIE des politischen Marktes abhängig zu machen. Der Begriff der Katallaxie wurde von Friedrich A. von Hayek geprägt, er bezeichnet die Herstellung einer spontanen Ordnung durch weit über einen Markt verstreute Akteure, die unabhängig von einander handeln. Eine politische Katallaxie gründet auf freiwilligen Handlungen unabhängiger Akteure, um eine politische Ordnung oder eine aggregierte gesellschaftliche “Handlung” herzustellen. Übertragen auf die Frage einer Wehrpflicht bedeutet dies, die beste Möglichkeit zu vermeiden, dass unverantwortliche politische Akteure Kriege vom Zaum brechen, um ihre Mütchen zu kühlen und ihre Interessen in einem Spiel durchzusetzen, das sie zumeist ohne Gefahr für das eigene Leben spielen, besteht darin, die Entscheidung, ob ein Bürger an einem Krieg teilnehmen will, ihm selbst zu überlassen. Wenn sich eine Gesellschaft einem kriegerischen Angriff durch einen anderen “Staat” ausgesetzt sieht, dann werden diejenigen, die ihrer Gesellschaft und den sie politisch repräsentierenden Staat einen Wert zuweisen, diese Gesellschaft verteidigen. Tun sie es nicht, dann ist offensichtlich aus ihrer Sicht nichts vorhanden, das es wert wäre, verteidigt zu werden. Diese simple Beschreibung hat eine Reihe weitreichender Konsequenzen, denn: Politische Positionsinhaber tun gut daran, eine Gesellschaft zu schaffen, die die Mehrzahl ihrer Bürger als eine, die man verteidigen muss und will, ansehen, die sie verteidigen wollen, weil sie (1) ihr Leben in Gefahr sehen und (2) der Ansicht sind, dass das, was sie verteidigen, besser ist, als das, was feindliche Akteure an seine Stelle setzen wollen. Politische Positionsinhaber, die auf die Mitwirkung der Mehrheit ihrer Bevölkerung angewiesen sind, werden Politiken vermeiden, die der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung Kosten auferlegen, sie schädigen, die auf Ideologie, nicht auf Realität gebaut sind. Bürger, die sich freiwillig zum Einsatz für "ihren Staat” einfinden, werden eine ungleich höhere Motivation aufweisen, als dies bei gezwungenen Bürgern der Fall ist. Der Gefahr, dass Trittbrettfahrer sich vom Acker machen und nach einem Erfolg zurückkehren, um an der Verteilung des Überschusses teilzuhaben, ist leicht dadurch zu begegnen, dass “Kriegsteilnehmer” bevorzugt behandelt werden. Eine Berufsarmee widerspricht dieser Argumentation nicht, denn ein Berufssoldat hat sich freiwillig zu einem potentiellen Kampfeinsatz bereit erklärt. Indes sollte der Einsatz einer Berufsarmee in einer kriegerischen Auseinandersetzung von einer Zustimmung der Bevölkerung abhängig gemacht werden, einmal mehr auf politischer Katallaxie begründet sein. Die größte Gefahr für demokratische Regierungssysteme geht von Personen aus, die sich politische Positionen angeeignet haben und aus diesen Positionen heraus Interessen vertreten, die nicht mit den Interessen der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung vereinbar sind. Dabei besteht generell die Gefahr, dass (ideologische) Eigeninteressen als eine Form des kollektiv Guten für die Gesellschaft ausgegeben werden. Die vorgeschlagene politische Katallaxie als eine Abstimmung mit den Füßen, verhindert den damit verbundenen Missbrauch, denn zwischen der Erfindung eines “kollektiven Guten”, dessen Existenz behauptet wird, um Bürger zu Handlungen zu verpflichten, die ihrem elementaren Ziel des Selbsterhalts widersprechen und einer freiwilligen Entscheidung vieler unabhängiger Bürger sich zu den entsprechenden Handlungen bereitzufinden und auf diese Weise ein kollektives Gut herzustellen, besteht ein riesiger Unterschied, der sich vor allem darin niederschlägt, dass die politische Katallaxie den Missbrauch politischer Positionen und den Versuch, andere in Kriege zu treiben, weitgehend unmöglich macht. Damit ist ein Individualismus beschrieben und mithin die einzige Möglichkeit, den Missbrauch kollektiver Positionen und vor allem die damit häufig einhergehenden Übergriffe auf individuelle Agency / Handlungsfreiheit, die Selbstbestimmung von Individuen, zu verhindern. Zugleich ist eine wirkungsvolle Methode beschrieben, um jeden Versuch politischer Akteure, Meinungsfreiheit zu begrenzen, im Keim zu ersticken. Aber das ist ein anderer Post.
