Geopolitical Analysis · Power Structures · Historical Context
For years, I’ve analyzed the power structures behind politics, military operations, and global economics – writing from conviction, not ideology. Drawing on experience from military service and IT security, I focus on geopolitical strategies, influential networks, and the historical roots of modern conflicts. My work combines rigorous source analysis with a simple question: Who benefits from political decisions – and why do certain narratives dominate while others stay hidden?
What I Do
I reconstruct strategic interests, not surface-level politics. My work examines which actors are planning for the long term, through what channels they exert influence, and which historical doctrines continue operating behind the scenes. The goal isn’t opinion — it’s precise mapping of motives, power axes, and who profits from the decisions that shape our world.
How I Work
My analysis is built entirely on documented sources: think tanks like RAND, CSIS, Brookings, and Carnegie; official government and military documents; economic data; national strategy papers; historical treaties; and primary sources from international institutions. I evaluate narratives only after cross-referencing them against proven structures and documented interests. My method is reconstruction through evidence, not speculation.
Who I Write For
My analyses appear in independent media across English and German-speaking markets and are published bilingually on this website. I write for readers who refuse to reduce politics to personalities, parties, or moral binaries — readers who want to understand power architecture beyond the simplified narratives fed to us daily.
If you’re looking for analysis that respects your intelligence and doesn’t insult it with partisan spin or comfortable myths, you’re in the right place.
