The content serves exclusively for public information and political opinion-forming. It does not constitute legal, political, military, technical, or other professional advice. Professional counsel should always be sought for specific decisions.
The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, or delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.
This wiki contains links to third-party websites (external links). These websites are subject to the liability of their respective operators. When the links were first established, the external content was checked for possible legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent.
Permanent content monitoring of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation (BGE 136 III 296). Upon becoming aware of legal violations, affected links will be removed immediately.
The mere linking does not constitute approval, recommendation, or adoption of the linked content.
This wiki is operated privately and independently. There is no connection, commission, or funding from:
All presented facts and analyses are based exclusively on publicly accessible sources, in particular:
The source references are an integral part of the work and enable complete verifiability of every statement.
Despite careful research, errors, inaccuracies, or gaps cannot be entirely excluded. Readers who identify incorrect, incomplete, or outdated information are expressly invited to report this via the comment function on the respective page.
Such reports are not published. They are intended solely for the editorial team and serve internal quality assurance. The editorial team reviews each report, researches the matter in accordance with the source guidelines of this wiki, and makes corrections where necessary.
Use of the comment function requires a free registration with a valid, verified email address (see section Comment Function and User Registration under Data Protection).
The content of this wiki is protected by freedom of opinion and information (Art. 16 BV) as well as media freedom (Art. 17 BV). The critical examination of the public procurement of fighter jets -- a deal with a volume of over 6 billion francs of taxpayer money -- is in the overriding public interest (Art. 28 para. 2 ZGB).
The right of quotation (Art. 25 URG) and the public interest in the transparent presentation of public procurement processes justify the use and analytical contextualization of the referenced sources.
The mention of public figures (Federal Councillors, members of parliament, leaders of the armed forces and federal administration) is made exclusively in connection with their public exercise of office and public statements. A violation of personal rights (Art. 28 ZGB) is thereby excluded, insofar as the presentation is factual and in the public interest.
Affected persons may contact the author with legitimate concerns.
