Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.
Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.
Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)
Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."
Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!
Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!
🇨🇭 Klaus Schwab, Founder of the World Economic Forum, found a BUG in his home office.
"You will eat ze bugs!" No, not that kind...
The 88-year-old who built Davos into the world's elite talking shop says the device turned up during a routine sweep of his Geneva home, right next to WEF's own HQ.
He's filed a complaint against persons unknown, so now Swiss prosecutors get to work out who was listening, and for how long.
The timing's the fun part. This is the same Schwab who quit in 2025 under a whistleblower cloud, then sued the whistleblowers, before a board inquiry waved him through clean.
50 years pulling the world's most powerful into one room, and now he's the one who says someone was listening in.

BREAKING: Plans for what would have been the world’s largest data center have been scrapped after Blackstone-owned QTS dropped its appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court.
🇫🇷🇮🇱 French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon was asked whether Iran is a threat to the world.
His answer turned the question back on Israel, Netanyahu, and the West’s silence over nuclear weapons, Lebanon, and Gaza.
“Is Iran a threat to the world? No, I don’t believe that for a second.
The illegal attack on Iran produced a strengthening of the regime.
Iran defeated both Netanyahu and Trump.
Today it is Netanyahu who does not respect peace, massacring the Lebanese en masse and continuing to kill Palestinians en masse.”

Ukraińscy żołnierze strzelają do domów cywilów rosyjskich w Donbasie (2014), by stłumić wszelki opór po puczu w Kijowie. Czysty terror. Żadnej „niesprowokowanej” inwazji:
wojna przygotowana, sfinansowana, zaaranżowana i zapłacona...
Circle's USYC is now the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury fund: $3.13B vs $2.40B.
The main driver of this growth is collateral plumbing: ~86% of USYC supply sits on BNB Chain as off-exchange margin.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Putin: I know why Zelensky is targeting our infrastructure, and it won't work
"Overall, I want to say that these attacks on our civilian infrastructure are not carried out solely to inflict damage on us, although I believe that is also important to the enemy.
They are also intended to fuel an information campaign.
Their objective is to create uncertainty among us, undermine confidence in our own strength, and, ideally, divide Russian society.
They also seek to force Russia to suspend the offensive of our troops, even if only temporarily, in order to create conditions for starting negotiations on terms favorable to our opponent.
We will not give them that chance."

Two prominent Chinese hedge funds have publicly warned that the global AI stock rally has entered "super bubble" territory.
Wealspring Asset (founded by Yang Dong, known for calling the 2007 China bull market top; ~$1.4B AUM): Global AI stocks are a "super bubble" and "the collapse point may not be far away."
Shanghai Banxia Investment Management Center (~$294M AUM): "The trigger for the AI bubble to burst has already appeared," pointing to slowing revenue growth pressure at companies like Anthropic (e.g., enterprises pushing back on high token/compute costs)
At least four other Chinese hedge funds have expressed similar reluctance, citing stretched valuations and weak long-term competitive moats for many AI infrastructure plays.
🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇷 Italy to NATO Chief Rutte: WTF are you talking about?!?!
He claimed Italy gave the U.S massive support for American strikes on Iran:
“If you take Italy for example, 500 U.S. planes took off from U.S. bases in Italy to support Operation Epic Fury."
He highlighted it as proof of strong European backing for Trump’s strikes on Iran.
Italy’s Defense Ministry immediately rebuked the statement, saying Rutte’s comments were “totally misleading.”
They insist they only authorized logistical and technical flights, not direct combat support, and that Rutte had no role in the operation.
Big clash inside NATO.

🇺🇸 Joe Rogan is REALLY pissed about the endless U.S cover-ups
"Where the f*ck are these Epstein files? Why is this redacted? Who the f*ck killed JFK? Like, come out with it.
Who f*cking killed Charlie Kirk for real?
Why is that f*cking story so clouded in mystery, and why did they pave over the f*cking ground right after the shooting? What the f*ck is going on there?"

BREAKING: The European Central Bank officially hikes interest rates by 25 basis points, citing renewed inflation amid the Iran War.
This marks the first major central bank interest rate hike since 2023.
Rate hikes are officially back.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 A U.S. official told Axios what everyone already knows:
Netanyahu needs the war to continue to stay politically alive in Israel, and Trump needs it to end to stay politically alive in the U.S.
Ex-CIA Larry Johnson says Trump wins that standoff; Netanyahu cannot continue the war without U.S. support, and Trump can force his hand whenever he chooses.
Pro-Israel voices in Washington may now be melting down over reports that the Islamabad Accords may actually be real.
