A wild story: The EU sanctioned a Swiss colonel for his words. They didn\u2019t judge Jacques Baud. They unplugged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On December 15, 2025, the European Union places a 70-year-old Swiss man on a sanctions list, Jacques Baud. Former staff colonel, intelligence, UN, NATO missions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? Because he writes books and speaks on TV. Official reason: \u201cspokesperson for pro-Russian propaganda.\u201d The cited example: he would have accused Ukraine of orchestrating its own invasion to join NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten lines in the Official Journal, no judge, no lawyer, no hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He lives in Brussels. The next day, everything dies, accounts, credit cards, transfers. A friend is no longer allowed to send him money. Ban on entering and leaving the EU. He\u2019s already inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So open-air prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For seven weeks, strangers bring him bread. He can check his balance. He can\u2019t pay for anything. Not rent. Not food. Not metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switzerland refuses to take back the sanction. In February 2026, Belgium, \u201cfor humanitarian reasons,\u201d restores his right to use HIS money to eat and pay rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then UBS, Swiss bank, cuts everything off anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There you have it. In Europe, in 2025, you can freeze a man for a sentence, turn bread into an exemption, and let a bank do what a State refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the story. They didn\u2019t prove a crime. They sanctioned an analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A man was unplugged for words. Bread became an exemption and the bank account, a favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
