Exposing Hezbollah: The Nexus of Drug Trafficking and Terrorism Part 1
"In 2008, the United States initiated 'Project Cassandra.' The goal was to expose how Hezbollah utilizes drug trafficking and money laundering to fund its military and terrorist activities. This three-part series narrates the project's journey. By 2008, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had amassed enough evidence to demonstrate that Hezbollah had evolved from a military and political organization into an international criminal syndicate. They were generating billions through drug and arms trafficking, money laundering, and other illegal activities. 'Project Cassandra' was a bold, top-secret mission aimed at dismantling this network. On August 4, 2020, Beirut was shattered by an explosion of hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate stored at the port. Suspicion quickly fell on Hezbollah, a Shiite party and militia with ties to Iran that controls much of Lebanon. Despite mounting pressure from citizens and the global community, Hezbollah (meaning 'the party of God') refused to permit any independent investigation into the explosion's causes. Hezbollah was established in 1982 as a resistance movement against Israeli occupation, with Iranian support from the outset. Over the past 40 years, its fighters have infiltrated all sectors of the Lebanese state, becoming the dominant power in the country. In the mid-2000s, a small group of agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) sought to dismantle Hezbollah. Operating with utmost secrecy, they launched an investigation under the code name 'Cassandra.' Their mission began in the United States, amid the still-smoking ruins of the World Trade Center."

China's New World Order - How dependent is it on the West?
For many years, good relations with China ensured healthy profits and cheap products for the German economy. However, over time, this relationship has turned into a dependency. The documentary "In the Jaws of the Dragon – How to Deal with China?" explores the nature and extent of this reliance. At a summit in October 2023 to discuss the "New Silk Road" infrastructure project, Chinese President Xi Jinping appeared alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether in Asia or the Middle East, China is clearly pushing for a new world order, with offensives directed against the West. Germany is already feeling the consequences. For a long time, trade with China flourished: starting in 1984, Volkswagen flooded the Chinese market with cars, eventually exporting one in every three VWs to China. But now, Chinese companies like BYD are dominating the market with electric cars. Germany's dependence on China for computer chips, antibiotics, and solar cells now seems utterly imprudent. This dependency is becoming more apparent as China gains more political and economic leverage. Regarding the war in Ukraine, its relations with Russia, or its ongoing conflict with Taiwan: where China once acted with restraint, it now demands its share of global power. In Berlin, politicians are rubbing their eyes in disbelief: what was once a healthy relationship has now become a complex co-dependency. And there is no easy way out.
