UBS. A BIG GIANT IN SWISS BANKING INDUSTRY "AFTER SHOTGUN WEDDING WITH CS." IS NOT SAFE SAYS TOBIAS STARAUMANN.

Well known Economic Historian prediction is not solely about UBS. but because of notorious inability of supervisory Authority ( FINMA AND SNB.) he conclude that a major banking crisis in Switzerland is likely in Ten or 15 years.

1. GLOBALIZATION RESULTS IN CAPITAL MOBILITY HENCE MORE BANKING CRISIS.

2. WHETHER THE GOVT AND AUTHORITIES IMPLEMENT A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK THAT CAN AVOIDED A SITUATION THAT LED TO CS. DEMISE?

a)
Straumann said measures to reduce high-risk transactions by large banks have been demanded by the federal government for 25 years.

THAN WHY SUCH DEMAND COMES TO NOTHING, IS DEFINITELY A CRUCIAL QUESTION.

Economists Armin Jans, Christoph Lengwiler, Marco Passardi wrote in their Analysis,

"Crisis-resistant Swiss banks?
The regulation of own funds, liquidity and "too big to fail"
that despite all the preparations, the liquidation of a major bank will remain an adventure.

FINANCIAL FIRE DEPARTMENT

Tobias straumann compares avoiding a banking crisis to fighting fire.

In addition to building regulations and building insurance, what is needed above all is a financial fire department that intervenes during a liquidity crisis or bank run. It can set limits for capital withdrawals, extend collateral for clients, or impose stricter regulations.

c)
CURING IS NOT CURING BUT A PROBLEM.
FINMA. ( SWISS FINANCIAL MARKET SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY) AS A PROBLEM FOR SWISS FINANCIAL INDUSTRY AND FOR SWITZERLAND.
Finews.asia's Claude Baumann writes:
"In the aftermath of Credit Suisse, international rating agencies see Finma as a problem for the Swiss financial industry and for Switzerland."

d)
FINMA'S COMPETENCY AND SNB. AUTHORITY.
Mr. Claude Baumann concluded:
"Calls to build up more competence at Finma and increase the SNB's willingness to place its authority increasingly in the service of the supervisory authority might seem a stretch but shouldn't be dismissed out of hand."

“They Came Home Broken":The Brutal Truth Behind the October 2025 Palestinian Releases

They walked free —yet came home with broken bodies , shattered spirits , and scars that cannot be erased. On October 13, 2025, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released from Israeli custody in return for hostages freed by Hamas. Many rejoiced; families wept with relief. But behind those scenes, a darker story surfaced—one of systemic abuse, medical neglect, and a betrayal of human dignity. The Faces Behind the Numbers Among those finally returned was Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya , a beloved hospital doctor in Gaza, whose ordeal reveals the brutality that many are still too afraid to speak about. He arrived having lost more than 20 kg in just two months , with fractured ribs from interrogation , a worsening heart condition denied proper medical attention , and the scars of solitary confinement and torture. He is not alone. In the landmark “ Welcome to Hell ” report, 55 formerly held Palestinians shared chilling testimonies : starvation diets, savage beatings, r...

How to Oppose Annexation Without Actually Opposing It: The Trump Doctrine of Elegant Hypocrisy

The Art of Saying No While Handing Over the Keys: Trump’s De Facto Annexation Gift to Israel Ah yes — the era of “ principled diplomacy.” The Trump administration, that self-proclaimed guardian of “fairness” in the Middle East, will forever be remembered for its masterclass in political double-speak — a rare performance where the United States verbally opposed Israel’s annexation of the West Bank while physically laying down the red carpet for it. It’s like saying, “ Please, don’t steal the car,” while quietly tossing over the keys, disabling the alarm, and complimenting the thief’s driving skills. The Great Paradox — or Just the Great Performance? Let’s call it what it was: a paradox of diplomacy , or perhaps more accurately , a farce performed for global consumption . In words , the Trump administration urged restraint — telling Netanyahu that annexation should be “coordinated,” “negotiated,” and “timed wisely.” In reality , it was busy dismantling every legal and dip...

The World as Gaza: Necropolitics and the Calculus of Survival

“ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, “Necropolitics” There are philosophies that dissect history, and there are philosophies that bleed through it. Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics belongs to the latter — it is not an academic exercise, but a diagnosis of the world’s moral decay. In his words, modern sovereignty is no longer about governing life — it is about managing death . It decides who is allowed to breathe, who must suffocate, and who will exist in the space between. Nowhere is this calculus of death more visible, more technologically refined, and more ethically bankrupt than in Palestine . The siege of Gaza has transformed necropolitics from theory into geography — a place where the architecture of control and the arithmetic of survival intersect. The Right to Kill, the Duty to Let Die In Necropolitics , Mbembe extends Foucault’s biopower — the power to “...

The Science of Fear: How Islamophobia Became a Campaign Strategy

When Zohran Mamdani stood before a roaring crowd and declared, “ No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election,” he wasn’t just celebrating victory — he was delivering a eulogy for a long, poisonous political playbook. Because let’s face it — Islamophobia has never just been about prejudice. It’s been a strategy — polished, funded, and weaponized into one of the most successful vote-getting formulas in modern politics. The Machinery of Fear The arithmetic is simple — and sinister . Take a minority that makes up barely 2% of the U.S. population . Turn them into the symbolic threat for the other 98%. Feed that fear with millions of dollars , wrap it in the flag , and sell it as “security. ” According to a 2021 CAIR report , more than $105 million was funneled to just 26 anti-Muslim organizations between 2017 and 2019 — money laundered through “ mainstream charitable ” institutions. That’s not democracy in action. That’...

The Leak That Broke the Mirror: Israel’s Moral Collapse at Sde Teiman

n R It was not the torture that shocked Israel. It was the fact that someone leaked it. Welcome to Sde Teiman — the desert detention camp that became a mirror to Israel’s moral decay, and to the world’s selective blindness. The Scene of the Crime The story begins, like most horror stories do these days, with a camera. On July 5, 2024, security footage inside the Sde Teiman military base caught what it was never meant to record: a Palestinian prisoner, blindfolded, bound, and dragged across the floor by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, the soldiers raised shields to block the camera — and behind that human wall, the real Israel revealed itself. When the shields dropped , the man lay broken: seven fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a torn rectum so severe it required surgery and a colostomy. The anatomy of cruelty was complete. The Scandal That Wasn’t You would think such a crime would set off national outrage. But in Israel’s political universe , torture is an...
