Dear All,
Here are the video recaps from last week.
I particularly recommend watching (or reading on the homepage) the discussion by Nel Bonilla, who always has a brilliant way of explaining mass-violence in a system theoretical and holistic way.
Her (scary) conclusion is that the US and NATO are not at all as „headless“ a chicken as they might look at the moment. Their longterm planing has a horizon of decades and is clearly geared toward more war.
Best,
Pascal

Thursday, August 20, 2026
Nel Bonilla outlines the bunker state framework and NATO 3.0 as a shift toward deeper militarization and a transatlantic defense ecosystem.
