U.S. Pushes Allies to Chase a New Terrorism Target: The Far Left

"Antifa is fascism" is some Orwellian level propaganda and it is also one of the official positions of the US.

Breaking: Epstein survivors release statement slamming Melania for trying to absolve herself of involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

“Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power.”

Fascinating, Zelensky coming out publicly more and more and saying that Trump is working with/for Putin. The Ukrainians seem to have determined that telling the truth is preferable to lying to please Trump.

Schrikbarend draadje over de verregaande verwevenheid tussen de (extreem)rechtsfilosofie faculteit van de universiteit Leiden, FvD, JA21 en de Russische beinvloeding en oliegelden in Hongarije.

Pasen 2026. Heel Nederland laaft zich aan de Passion, het lijdensverhaal.

Maar het dagelijks discriminatielijden dat over Nederland wordt uitgestort met een evident overmatig meldsysteem blijft zoals het is?

HRIFEU houdt vol. Nu op de radio - vanochtend.

Fragment: witwascontroles door banken Tijdens de uitzending van 27 november 2023 besteedt Radar aandacht aan witwascontroles door banken. Zij controleren hun klanten na een 'ongebruikelijke' tran...

In de vorm van de stichting kan de stichting dienen als schild om namens bezorgde burgers/ondernemers op te komen voor belangen. En kunnen bezorgde bankmedewerkers hun visie en inzichten delen hoe het beter kan.

We komen bij Radar en leggen uit: het kan beter!

So weird to see a clip from a Dutch pop program from my youth in this context.

Ok mensen. Een snel draadje over overmatige bankmonitoring en waarom dat fout is.

Het begint in 2022. Het nationaal compliance instutuut vraagt me: kun je een lezing doen over witwasmonitoring nieuwe stijl. Waarin we het anders en beter doen.

Challenge accepted.

Of course not, that's silly!

Nieuwe regels rond trans vrouwen bij PDC: Van Leuven niet meer welkom in vrouwencompetitie Na nieuw onderzoek heeft de Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) besloten dat trans vrouwen niet meer welkom zijn in de PDC-toernooien voor vrouwen.

Misselijk van. Er is geen enkel serieus bewijs dat transvrouwen in het voordeel zijn bij darten. Jarenlang werd er geen probleem van Noa-Lynn deelname gemaakt. Totdat ze ging winnen. PDC bleef zeggen: "Wij zijn voor inclusie." Nu toch gezwicht voor de (politieke) druk. En Noa met gedwongen pensioen.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

Wham warmer

But most Southern volunteers believed they were fighting for liberty as well as slavery. “Our cause,” wrote one in words repeated almost verbatim by many “is the sacred one of Liberty, and God is on our side.” A farmer who enlisted in the 26th Tennessee insisted that “life liberty and property [i.e., slaves] are at stake” and therefore “any man in the South would rather die battling for civil and political liberty, than submit to the base usurpations of a northern tyrant.”17 One of three brothers who enlisted in a South Carolina artillery battery believed that “a stand must be made for African slavery or it is forever lost.” The Confederate states were united by the institution of “slavery[,] a bond of union stronger than any which holds the north together,” wrote the second brother. Therefore, added the third, the Souths “glorious cause of Liberty” was sure to triumph. A wealthy planter who married one of Mary Todd Lincoln’s sisters became an officer in the 4th Alabama to fight for “Liberty and Independence.” “What would we be,” he asked his wife, “without our liberty? . . . [We] would prefer Death a thousand times to recognizing once a Black Republican ruler . . . altho’ he is my brother in law.”18 Southern recruits waxed more eloquent about their intention to fight against slavery than for it—that is, against their own enslavement by the North. “Sooner than submit to Northern slavery I prefer death,” wrote a slaveowning officer in the 20th South Carolina. The son of a Mississippi planter dashed off a letter to his father as he rushed to enlist: “No alternative is left but war or slavery.” Subjugation was the favorite word of Confederate recruits to describe their fate if the South remained in the Union or was forced back into it. “If we should suffer ourselves to be subjugated by the tyrannical government of the North,” wrote a private in the 56th Virginia to his wife, “our property would all be confuscated ... & our people reduced to the most abject bondage & ut…

Some Confederate volunteers did indeed avow the defense of slavery as a motive for enlisting. A young Virginia schoolteacher who joined the cavalry could not understand why his father, a substantial farmer and slaveowner, held out so long for preservation of the Union when reports in Southern newspapers made it clear that the Lincoln administration would “use its utmost endeavors for the abolishment of slavery.” After all, Lincoln himself “has declared that one of the peculiar institutions of the South, which involves the value of four billions . . . is ‘a moral evil.’ “ No true Southerner could hesitate. “Better, far better! endure all the horrors of civil war than to see the dusky sons of Ham leading the fair daughters of the South to the altar.” A slave-owning farmer enlisted in the 13th Georgia because “our homes our firesides our land and negroes and even the virtue of our fair ones is at stake,” while a young Kentucky physician told his slaveholding relatives that he would join the Confederate forces “who are battling for their rights and for an institution in which Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee are [as] interested” as the lower South. “The vandals of the North . . . are determined to destroy slavery . . . We must all fight, and I choose to fight for southern rights and southern liberty.”

Why'd the Confederates fight? They told us

editor: you need to rewrite

me: why

editor: because we need plausible characters

me: whats the problem

editor: You're claiming its actually possible to turn the Iranian govt and the Catholic Church into sympathetic figures within 12 months???

“At least seven prominent law professors.”

As I suggested on Monday, this is just like Justice Gorsuch’s “battle of law reviews.” It’s not about the frickin’ scoreboard:

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Do we know whether Trump can even grow facial hair?

Make Another Great Antipope.

The cease fire to end all cease fires, it seems.

A regime of idiots: A complete inventory of Trump stooges They will remain, festering, awaiting the next opportunity for soul-selling.

Both in business and politics, Trump has habitually singled out individuals whose lack of talent, amorality, and pervasive venality would — in normal course — have led them to dead end careers (if not indictment) for positions of responsibility.

It’s cool how “The Build America, Buy America” Act applies to organizations receiving funds from the federal government after completing rigorous and competitive grant proposals but not to the White House illegally appropriating funds. Cool. Cool.

En goddank nog een reprise van het origineel begin 90er jaren gezien.

Ik heb zelf nog een volledige Mistero Buffo geproduceerd en gespeeld in de jaren '90 :)

Israel's illegal invasion and ethnic cleansing of Lebanon. Not "contributing to" it is the literal sole cause of it. @SenatorWong The conflict in Lebanon is contributing to a humanitarian crisis. As UN Security Council members meet today to discuss the protection of UN and Humanitarian Personnel, Australia and partners call for international humanitarian law to be respected, and aid workers to be protected. 9:09 AM • Apr 9, 2026 • 10.7K Views Years of this passive language has desensitised us. Is the law being "disrespected"? No. It's being criminally breached by Israel, over and over again, which in turn, obligates states to react, to punish, to sanction. When someone is murdered, you do not "call for" the murderer to respect the law, you arrest them.

Years now of calling for these murderers to stop killing everyone and start "respecting" the law - this would be evil and absurd by itself, but to do this while also arming the murderers and funding them and calling them your "friend" makes this a uniquely ghoulish exercise of propaganda.

Oh, en de Internationale Nieuwe Scene!

It's important to remember that a military draft is a form of slavery.

You know the fact that USians are completely freaking out over $5/gallon gas, which is only about €1.15/litre (extremely cheap?) makes me wonder what it is that they're all doing with their fancy 6-figure salaries?

How much do Americans earn after you control for daily fuel expenditure?

Ik heb net mijn oude Proloog-platen weer eens opgeduikeld :)
