De waanzin van groene eco-extremisten kent geen grenzen. Agentschap Natuur en Bos heeft beslist om Amerikaanse eik ( op de heide in Kalmthout) te vermoorden omdat hij een gevaar vormt voor het welzijn van het pijpenstrootje , een zeldzame grassoort. Ze hebben onderste schors verwijderd zodat de boom langzaam afsterft. Ik heb daar geen woorden voor.

New Zealand taxpayers paid for genetic experiments that left animals severely deformed.

And now the Government wants to deregulate genetic technology even further.

New Zealand has a long and uncomfortable history of genetic experiments on animals at AgResearch’s Ruakura facility.

Cows. Sheep. Goats. Even grasses.

A GE Free NZ report, “Genetically Engineered Animals 2010–2025”, compiled from Official Information Act responses and AgResearch annual reports, documents some deeply disturbing outcomes.

Among its findings:

• Live birth and survival rates of just 0–15% were reported for transgenic pregnancies, with many offspring dying before or shortly after birth from deformities or chronic health problems.

• Surrogate cows experienced 85–99% spontaneous abortions.

• One calf was born with an enlarged head, while other euthanised calves were found with poorly developed livers and kidneys, enlarged adrenal and thyroid glands, and severe respiratory distress.

And much of this research has been supported by New Zealand taxpayers.

Now, the Government is proposing to further deregulate New Zealand’s genetic technology laws through the HSNO Amendment Bill.

So before we open the door to more genetic experimentation, perhaps we should take a closer look at what happened at New Zealands Ruakura site.

In our latest GEH podcast, Claire Bleakley from GE Free NZ takes us through this troubled history, and why it matters now.

Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ sparked unexpected controversy when one of the Viking ships used during production, an authentic, hand‑built replica owned by a small maritime heritage non‑profit, was returned with significant structural damage. The vessel, normally maintained through volunteer labor and modest donations, had been loaned out under the assumption that a major studio would treat it with care and cover any repairs. Instead, the organization found cracked planks, warped ribs, and a ruined sail system that would cost more than their annual operating budget to fix.

The non‑profit reached out to the production team repeatedly, hoping for a straightforward reimbursement or at least a conversation. What they encountered instead was silence. Emails went unanswered, calls were redirected, and the studio’s representatives insisted the damage was “pre‑existing,” despite photographic documentation taken before filming. For a group dedicated to preserving Viking‑age craftsmanship, the dismissal felt not just financially devastating but deeply disrespectful.

As the story spread among local historians and maritime enthusiasts, frustration grew. Volunteers who had spent years restoring the ship felt betrayed, watching a Hollywood epic profit from their work while leaving them with a broken artifact they could no longer sail or display. The incident became a symbol of the imbalance between massive film productions and the small cultural institutions they rely on, raising uncomfortable questions about responsibility, preservation, and the true cost of cinematic authenticity.

The damaged Viking ship had actually been restored using traditional clinker‑building techniques, meaning every plank was hand‑shaped and overlapped the next, so repairing even a “small” crack requires a specialist craftsman and days of labor. That’s why the non‑profit wasn’t just upset about the cost; the damage erased work done with skills that only a handful of artisans still practice today.

BREAKING: The EU Government is forcing mass surveillance through the Parliament 🤯

After getting voted against twice already, the European People's Party of Von Der Leyen & co. are now resorting to dirty tricks to force it through anyway.

They just branded the issue an 'URGENT PROCEDURE' which is normally reserved for new legislation, not proposals that have been voted out twice already.

A nice bonus for Von der Leyen? It needs an absolute majority to be rejected, whereas normal proposals need an absolute majority to pass. In essence, they're putting democracy upside down.

The vote takes place this Thursday. Abstainees that have already left for a summer holiday are automatically counted as a yes - which makes it even harder for the parliament to reject this orwellian proposal.

The European People's Party - once again ignoring the will of the people they claim to represent, forcing through their own agenda.

Call / email your representatives today. 👇🏼

Hoe komen we toch aan die enorm hoge temperaturen?
Ligt het aan de airco's? Of aan de scheten van koeien? moeten daarom de boeren weg? Of :
"AI-datacentra warmen de omgeving tot wel 9,1 graden op: 'Dit kan een enorm probleem worden"
Auteur: Arjan Terpstra
Onderzoekers die temperatuurmetingen van satellieten combineerden met de geografische coördinaten van 8.400 AI-datacentra, komen tot de conclusie dat de landoppervlaktetemperatuur gemiddeld met 2 graden Celsius stijgt in de maanden nadat een AI-datacenter in gebruik wordt genomen. In extreme gevallen schoot het kwik zelfs met 9,1 graden omhoog.

🚨 EVERY EUROPEAN NEEDS TO KNOW THIS:

The European Union is turning into an anti-democratic surveillance apparatus.

In March, the European Parliament REJECTED the extension of “Chat Control.”

So what did Brussels do?

While everybody is distracted from the World Cup, they furtively brought it back through a rarely used procedure and are trying again.

The goal is to allow private communications to be scanned under a derogation from normal ePrivacy protections.

They’ll have access to your private messages and your photos. And, as always, mass surveillance is being sold to you under the banner of “safety.”

The EU bureaucrats do not trust you.

They urgently want the infrastructure to surveil you.

And when its own Parliament votes the wrong way, the bureaucratic and anti-democratic machine simply finds another procedure and tries again.

The European Union is not protecting democracy.

It is becoming its enemy. And almost all CONSERVATIVES members of the parliament voted in favor of this Orwellian plan.

And now imagine a combination of governmental surveillance AND Palantir. SCARY!!!!

SHARE THIS. Europeans deserve to know what Brussels is doing to their privacy.

De geloofwaardigheid nam hier exponentieel af.

Iedereen moest bibberend in een hoekje zitten, jongeren konden strafblad krijgen als ze te dicht bij elkaar stonden.

De mensen die het oplegden...

Geen angst voor het virus whatsoever.

En nog kwam het niet binnen bij de meeste mensen.

Verbijsterend.

People who rent are often without AC in Europe. The landlord won't make it happen or strictly forbids it, or the house company, or the city code, or it needs red tape clearance. For these, a portable unit (lame) is the only solution.

Apartment dwellers, even if owning, might run into issues around the house company from which they need a permission, and need to post a change notice. However, a case went into the second highest court and the dweller won a case where the house company was against an AC unit on the balcony. Since the AC was not really visible outside and brought considerable usefulness to the dweller, he won after losing at the previous tier of court. But he needed probably years of fighting to get AC.

The funny thing is, the concrete block apartment is the HOTTEST environment in the entire country. They are hot from May to late September. Like 80+ F even at night all through summer. And it is in these apartments that it is the *hardest* to get an AC installed. Basically if you move into such an apartment, you should make sure the house company already allows it, or it is already installed, or there is remote cooling circulation system. For homeowners this is no issue, but for the cheapest rent finders this is an issue: they usually get the worst house company or landlord to deal with.

Detached/small homeowners often have AC in 🇫🇮, if they *need* it. If you are shaded by trees and connected to the ground with a 1-story detached home, you are cool anyway. The Finnish summer is not like the French summer. But on a trip to France I have never booked a hotel without AC. It would be a stupid idea. It is always hot in France during summer. This has never been news. They have recorded 108 F in 1904.

Wow, would you look at that…

All of a sudden the NHS has decided people on kidney dialysis are no longer at risk from folic acid just in time for mandatory synthetic folic acid in all non-wholemeal flour from the end of 2026.

Old version (screenshotted earlier this year) clearly listed haemodialysis:

New/current version (the dialysis warning is gone): Convenient timing.

Synthetic folic acid isn’t the same as natural folate. It can build up in people with MTHFR variations, B12 deficiency, cancer, stents, or on dialysis. Studies link higher intake to potential increased prostate/colorectal cancer risks in some groups.

Yet we’re mass-medicating the entire population through bread, pasta, cakes etc.

with very limited opt-out. The pregnancy benefit for a small number of cases is clear but at what cost to everyone else?

Where are the medical professionals on this? You guys took an oath to do no harm we need you guys to push back against this.

The EU Commission in Brussels has shut off airco, but only for the lower floors, where the lower ranks work:

“It’s like feudalism,” a Commission official working on a lower level of the Berlaymont, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO on Friday, referring to the fact that upper floors housing commissioners got to keep their AC on. A second official agreed it was a “disgrace.” https://t.co/DWUnu3Wz3C

2. Geen airco hebben
3. De media die zeggen dat we absoluut onder geen beding een airco moeten aanschaffen
