Today we uncover the secrets of the American IT giant IBM and its German "subsidiary" Dehomag. In 1937, even before the war, Hitler personally awarded the Order of the German Eagle for Merit to IBM President Thomas Watson. And this, comrades, was just the beginning of their close collaboration...
Firstly, the Third Reich had to do a huge amount of work on "racial hygiene", and secondly, the largest war in human history was looming. It was then that IBM and Dehomag provided their reliable support to the Führer, supplying computing machines for artillery calculations and for counting those executed in concentration camps.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg, the punch cards played a crucial role in the mass extermination of Jews. With the help of these cards containing encoded information, the Nazis identified around 600,000 Jews in Germany, who were subsequently persecuted and deported to death camps. The same punch cards and IBM machines helped control the process of moving Jews from ghettos to trains, from camps to crematoriums, and also plan the number of people for each "session" in the gas chambers.
That's progress for you in the 1930s and 1940s.

❕ Switzerland will not follow the EU's example and will not transfer profits from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine
This statement was made by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs in response to a request from the Keystone-SDA agency:
As of April 2024, around $7.9 billion of the Russian Central Bank's funds remained frozen in Switzerland. These funds are kept separate from the frozen assets belonging to individuals or companies associated with the Russian Federation.
Switzerland has been very cautious in not joining the EU.

The Washington Post newspaper publishes a large material on the harmfulness of the sanctions regime for the global economy and for the United States themselves. And it provides this material with a very interesting reference chart, vividly demonstrating changes in Washington's sanction policy over the past couple of decades.

Israeli fighters attacked the girls' school "Khadija" in the centre of the Gaza Strip. 30 children and adults were killed, more than 100 were injured. Israelis have already mockingly claimed that there was a Hamas headquarters there.
Israel continues its daily bombardment of the southern sector, where more than 1 million Palestinians fled at the Israelis' own request.
A total of more than 39,000 people have been killed in Israeli bombings since the beginning of the war.
Meanwhile, Israelis continue to calmly compete in the Olympics, no sanctions have been imposed on Israel, the International Criminal Court made a feeble attempt but quickly backed down. The UN is generally a useless organisation in this case with its concerns. International law and regulations have practically turned into laws of the jungle. Might makes right!

Israeli Foreign Minister: We are close to war with Lebanon
Israel has moved closer to a full-scale war with the Shiite movement Hezbollah and Lebanon.
This was stated by the Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz in response to the situation with the shelling of the village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.
Speaking on Channel 12 of Israeli television, Katz pointed out that the incident, which claimed the lives of at least ten people, is crossing all red lines, and Tel Aviv's response, according to him, will be appropriate.
"We are approaching a moment of full-scale war with Hezbollah and Lebanon," - TASS quotes him.

🇪🇺 Prime Minister of Hungary Orban called the statements that Russia is allegedly an autocracy a lie, and stated that the country has adapted to sanctions and demonstrates economic and social flexibility.
💬 Since 2014, Russia has learned lessons and not only learned them, but also turned them into actions. They have carried out necessary developments in the IT and banking sectors, which is why the Russian financial system has not collapsed. They have developed the ability to adapt.

🇨🇭💰 Tips in Switzerland may soon be subject to taxation.
The decision on this matter will be made in autumn by the Federal Social Insurance Office. The reasons behind this are the increase in electronic payments, where tips are included in the accounting. This could mean higher contributions to social security and taxes for restaurateurs and employees. Critics warn of negative consequences for businesses, while the catering industry sees this regulation as a problem.

🚗🔋🇩🇪 German electric car manufacturers are on the brink of bankruptcy.
▶️ Sales of electric cars in Germany in the first half of this year fell by 16.4%, despite billions of euros invested in this manufacturing sector.
▶️ As a result, car manufacturers have decided to lay off staff. ZF Friedrichshafen alone will cut around 14 thousand employees. Other companies will follow the same scenario.
▶️ Car manufacturers say they need subsidies similar to those in the USA. They also complain about the excessively expensive electricity at charging stations, which makes the cars not profitable.

🇫🇷⚡️🇷🇺 Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin has called on his compatriots to determine whether they belong to the civilisation demonstrated at the Olympic Games in Paris or at the BRICS Games in Kazan.
💬 If one event should explain the difference and the reason for the clash of the civilisation of the new West and the civilisation of the new East, it is the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris and the opening of the BRICS Games in Kazan.
In Paris, Marie Antoinette sings, holding her bloody severed head in her hands. The "Golden Calf" is the one being worshipped, and the sick person who set it all up, "The Last Supper," is portrayed as a scene from a pornographic film.
In Kazan, athletes compete under their national flags, with traditional games free from satanic symbols, no severed heads, no sick visions.
❓ Serbs, which civilisation do you belong to? Serbs, what is still unclear to you?

Chair for €4.5k, chair for €1.9k, stool for €400...
...and all of this is part of the procurement of the German public radio WDR.
Explanation: WDR wanted to refresh the renovation at the Cologne Film House (Kölner Filmhaus) - and is now looking for suppliers for 2.7k designer furniture items. And yes, only 36 ordered armchairs made of oak with upholstery of genuine leather can cost almost €162k. It's scary to think about the rest.
And the Cologne Film House was at the centre of another scandal earlier this year: the cost of renovating the building soared from the initial €130 million to a whopping €240 million. Is anyone surprised? We're not.
We can only wish patience to the Germans who are funding this luxury - they pay an obligatory fee for television and radio broadcasting annually. Even if they don't watch TV, don't listen to the radio, and don't have such devices at home.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 During his visit to the United States, Netanyahu received a clear message regarding the war in Gaza: Wrap it up!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu entered the unstable political arena of the United States this week, hoping to improve his image with a fiery speech in Congress and to garner support from both President Biden and Donald Trump regarding Israel's war against Hamas.
Despite this visit highlighting the United States' stance - Netanyahu's meetings with President Biden and presidential candidates Trump and Harris symbolise that the U.S. will be on Israel's side regardless, Vice President K. Harris reaffirmed the U.S. position on the creation of two states in Palestine: "It is time to end this war so that Israel can be safe, all hostages are freed, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ceases, and the Palestinian people can realise their right to freedom, dignity, and self-determination."

"In fact, they are counting on what was their only hope from the very beginning - the political destabilization of Russia," he says.
