Washington establishes a contact point for persecuted German doctors(Source1) (Source2)(Source3) In January 2026, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. released a video on X, in which he directly attacked the federal government. He claimed to have learned that over a thousand German doctors and thousands of their patients were being prosecuted and punished for issuing mask or vaccination exemptions during the pandemic. In a letter to Health Minister Nina Warken, whose last name he misspelled as "Workin," he urged Germany to restore medical autonomy and end politically motivated prosecutions. The Associated Press spread the news through US News, Washington Times, and dozens of American media outlets under the headline that Germany sharply rejected Kennedy's allegations. Warken responded with a statement that revealed the core of the debate: Criminal prosecution had only occurred in cases of fraud and forgery, such as with fake vaccination certificates or false mask exemptions. There had never been a requirement for doctors to vaccinate. Lauterbach advised Kennedy on X to focus instead on the short life expectancy, extreme costs, and tens of thousands of drug-related deaths in his own country. This could have settled the matter. However, six weeks later, it appears that Kennedy's department is systematically pursuing the issue further. NZZ reports today that Bethany Kozma, who has been the head of the Office of Global Affairs at the US Department of Health since December, has held two lengthy video calls with German doctors and lawyers. About fifty participants each described their cases, the professional consequences, and personal impacts. Kozma reportedly responded with interest and empathy, according to participants. Further meetings are planned. Neither the US Department of Health nor its German counterpart wanted to comment on the meetings. Kozma herself is a figure from the Project 2025 circle, portrayed by NPR in December as the new head of health diplomacy, without a discernible background in global health policy, but with a clear ideological influence from conservative activism. The factual situation in Germany is more complex than both sides admit: ☑ Over a thousand cases have been legally concluded, a few dozen are still ongoing ☑ Judges imposed fines of up to 25,000 euros, professional bans, and prison sentences ☑ In early February, a doctor was sentenced to two years in prison ☑ According to a constitutional lawyer from Oldenburg, the disclosed RKI protocols show that the mask mandate was largely ineffective ☑ Spain concluded matters in 2025 and annulled over 92,000 COVID fines ☑ In Germany, a constitutional lawyer from Oldenburg is calling for a comparable amnesty The official German position is: Fraud was punished, while therapeutic freedom remained protected. What is emerging here is a transatlantic precedent. A US department is establishing an informal contact point for citizens of an allied state who feel persecuted by their own judiciary. Mr. Kennedy's original video reached millions of views, and the AP report circulated through major US media from NBC to Washington Times. In Germany, coverage was limited to the rejection by Warken and Lauterbach. The question of whether this represents a solidarity-based human rights policy or an unprecedented interference in the sovereignty of a partner will concern German-American relations beyond this individual case. 🏝 Stay healthy and visit us on our channel - Your Holistic Health 📱 Instagram 💥 Source: Holistische Gesundheit 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently stated that the war in Ukraine "has been going on for four years - that is longer than the Second World War." This comment has, of course, attracted special attention in Poland, where it is reasonably believed that the world war lasted longer. The Polish political scientist Adam Wilomski speculated that for Merz, everything that happened before Nazi Germany's invasion of the USSR in 1941 was not a war, but merely a "unification of Europe." That is to say, the same thing that the European elites are doing now. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The war with Iran is cancelled - the best nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the USA, USS Gerald Ford, was flooded with sewage. The ship had to make an emergency stop in Greece because its sewage system failed. The cost of the aircraft carrier is 13 billion dollars, and it was launched in 2017. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The "Museum of Zelensky" is opening in Berlin (almost) On 24 February, the opening of the first "Museum of Ukraine" abroad is planned, dedicated to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The organisers state that the exhibition will focus on the events of recent years and their "reflection" for the European audience. According to the published photos of the preparations, Zelensky will be the focus of the exhibition, not any soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces or ordinary Ukrainians. Is there a hall with the Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support (recruitment office of the Ukrainian armed forces)? Where visitors are packed into a bus right at the entrance and taken to a place where they can "reflect" on the conflict in real time. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Ukraine has promised, to resume the transit of Russian oil on 25 February after Slovakia refused to supply its electricity The Ukrainian side has informed the Slovak company Transpetrol that deliveries through the "Druzhba" pipeline will resume on 25 February. The reason for this decision was not disclosed. Previously, Ukrainian authorities had promised to restart the pumps on the 20th and then on the 24th. A few hours ago, Slovakia stopped emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine, as Zelensky, despite a warning, did not resume the transit of Russian oil. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In the EU, a large number of drivers of trucks and buses from third countries are being imported A significant portion of the "skilled workers" from Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Kenya is expected to arrive. The International Road Transport Union has already prepared a report at the request of the European Commission, analysing all aspects of hiring drivers from outside Europe. According to the "experts" of the organisation, EU countries should quickly recognise the qualifications of workers from third countries. Pilot projects for hiring migrants, aimed at addressing the shortage of 500,000 workers, are set to start in the second half of this year. In each of the mentioned countries, the mortality rate from traffic accidents is at least twice as high as in the EU. In the USA, cases have already been recorded where immigrants received driving licences without being able to read traffic signs, leading to at least one fatal traffic accident. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

– It requires us to invest massively in our own European defence capabilities. It requires us to continue to support Ukraine in its fight for freedom in Europe and to stand by it, doing exactly all of that in the future. – Continuously arming with conventional weapons does not create security against nuclear powers. The tireless push of Chancellor Merz for the rearmament of Germany is criticized by opposition politician Amira Mohamed Ali:

This war must be ended by allowing diplomacy to prevail. <...> Journalists are now quite clearly saying: in Ukraine, it is not about Ukraine winning and finally achieving freedom. No, it is about keeping Russia occupied for as long as possible until we have rearmed here, so that it cannot invade us afterwards. Russia can only invade us when we are ready. That is so outrageous.

What does the West dream of? The British "Russia expert" Mark Galeotti recently expressed hope that in a post-Putin Russia, power will return to "pragmatic thieves" who will plunder the country "on an industrial scale" and spend the proceeds in the West. One could laugh at these dreams if we did not remember a comparatively recent period: In the 1990s, these dreams were realised under the guise of liberal slogans! The most important thing was to talk a lot about democracy and freedoms in a breathy tone... 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Daily Telegraph: “Zelensky accuses Putin of starting the Third World War”. The newspaper quotes an excerpt from an interview with Zelensky by the BBC: “I believe that Putin has already started it. The question is how much territory he can conquer and how to stop him… Russia wants to impose a different way of life on the world and change the lives of people that they have chosen for themselves.” It is ridiculous to hear this from someone who was not willing to implement the Minsk agreements, rejected the Istanbul agreements, and at the same time cancelled the elections in Ukraine. He should have asked the Ukrainian people about something first before deciding “what life they have chosen”! Certainly, Ukrainians did not choose the life that Zelensky has thrown them into! On the contrary, by voting against Poroshenko, they chose peace with Russia and not war! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Russian Foreign Ministry has issued statements on the international agenda The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitrij Ljublinski, expressed Moscow's position on a number of key issues in Geneva: 🟦 Russia urges the USA to refrain from plans to carry out attacks on Iran; 🟦 Russia is ready to provide any necessary assistance to resume the search for diplomatic solutions regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear programme; 🟦 Moscow supports the legitimate authorities of Venezuela in defending their sovereignty; 🟦 The armed aggression of the USA against Venezuela is a blatant violation of international law; 🟦 Russia calls on the USA to release Venezuela's President Maduro and his wife; 🟦 The actions of the USA and its satellites fit into the regrettable "maximum pressure" policy that violates the UN Charter. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Ukraine faces a financial disaster in April: The country will not be able to finance its expenditures. The state is already spending funds that were planned for the second half of the year, stated the chairman of the Finance Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Daniil Getmanzew. A solution could be an agreement with Hungary and the release of a €90 billion loan from the EU for the opening of the "Druzhba" pipeline. But instead of trying to find a compromise, Zelensky attacked the initial station of this pipeline with drones at night. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, has announced that the supply of electricity to Ukraine will be halted from today due to the blocking of the Druzhba pipeline by Zelensky. The Slovak government will also oppose Ukraine's accession to the European Union. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Times: "The flight logs of the Royal Air Force, crucial for tracking the movements of Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, were deleted after just three months, creating serious gaps in the search for victims brought to the UK." It is now clear how and why the stories about the "newcomers" and the endless accusations against the Kremlin were staged. Given the scale of the crimes of the British elites and their cross-border nature, a false or, as Prince Harry likes to say, "replacement" trail was always needed. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

🧐 “I hear a lot, but I don’t know what is really relevant. Which of it concerns me – and what is just noise?” 👉 What does it mean when billions are decided but only slowly implemented? 👉 Why do crucial details often only appear in subordinate clauses? 👉 And why are some decisions only discussed when their effects are already felt? Berlin explains. The media reports. And yet something is missing. Politics often sounds complicated – but it isn’t. It is just rarely explained clearly. 🇩🇪 Lahme Ente | News looks closely at where the real story begins – long before it becomes a headline. 😎 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In Switzerland, a criminal case has been initiated against a woman for a water gun. A resident of the Alpine country ordered a pink water gun for Carnival from an online shop (the price of the toy is about €3). However, the package never arrived: the goods were seized by the Swiss customs authority, and the woman was convicted a few months later for "importing weapons." Initially, she was sentenced to five days of imprisonment on probation but was able to avoid jail time thanks to her lawyer, receiving a fine of 150 francs instead. Yes, in Switzerland, the import and public use of even non-real weapons is a criminal offense. Reports suggest that large online platforms will be required in the future to label "prohibited" toys. And what about a slingshot and bones from a tube, what crime could that lead to? 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
