Brussels SHOCK: Switzerland preparing to END EU free movement with Brexit-style referendum

SWITZERLAND has sent shockwaves through the European Union by edging closer to a referendum on ending its agreement on the free movement of people across its borders, sparking fresh uncertainty about its relations with Brussels.

The nationalist Swiss People’s party (SVP) has received the go-ahead to collect signatures for a vote on a constitutional change that would make Swiss politicians solely responsible for immigration policy.

The SVP, led by billionaire businessman Christoph Blocher, is fiercely opposed to the free movement of people but its proposal to ditch the border deal is opposed by Switzerland’s other main parties.

Social Democrat politician Eric Nussbaumer said: “It’s acceptance would be Switzerland’s Brexit.

US Air Force Sends DOS-Attacking Aircraft to Korean Peninsula.

According to reports Monday, the US' EC-130H Compass Call aircraft, which is capable of issuing a denial of service attack an enemy plane's communication abilities, was deployed to South Korea's Osan Air Force Base January 4.

Though it's unclear why the state-of-the-art tactical aircraft was deployed to the base, some critics have speculated that it may be used to collect data on North Korea's military during the 2018 Olympic Games set to begin February 9.

Per the US Air Force, the Compass Call is a "tactical weapon system" that can use "noise jamming to disrupt enemy command and control communications and deny time-critical adversary coordination essential for enemy force management."

"If we can shut down or deny their communication," Lt. Col. Chris Weaton of the Electronic Combat Squadron said in a statement, "then we are causing chaos."

This chaos, Weaton says, gives US forces a chance to take advantage of the scramble and carry out their own attacks.
