Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

De honden moeten weg.
De mensen moeten weg.

The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.
"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore."
"The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research and we actually don't even know who did the research."
"Everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it."

My White Privilege
I turned 14 in 1979. I had one year to go before getting kicked out of my single parent "house."
At the time, I lived with my mom in a seedy cockroach infested motel room. She told me she didn't have any money to give me, so I'd be on my own.
This was her plan:
1) Take the California High School Proficiency Exam to get out of high school early (I was in 10th grade)
2) Apply to college and get financial aid to cover my expenses.
3) Live on my own, do what I want, enjoy life.
I took the test. It was so easy that I would have been embarrassed to get less than a 100 when I was in the 3rd grade. I no longer had to go to school.
After the test, I mentioned to another boy there, white like me, that I would be on my own in a few months. He invited me back to his place.
It was another seedy apartment occupied by a couple of kids a little older than me. I could stay with them if I wanted, but I'd have to work for my keep. My impression was that whatever that was, it was illegal, and I left.
I applied to Art Center College of Design, the most exclusive such college in the country. I was the youngest person they'd ever accepted. When I showed up for school, they took one look at me and said "you're too young. You have to be at least 17 to attend."
Santa Barbara City College let me attend there. I lived with my mom in her new apartment, a furnished studio. I slept on the tiny sofa in the dining room seen in this photo of me at my drawing table. My sister had gone to live with our dad, who had just been located after an interaction with the police.
SBCC gave me a stipend for financial aid. I used that to buy food for myself while my mom commuted to LA to work as a secretary. The money was enough for a diet of donuts and pop-tarts. I had a hard time walking up stairs because it made my heart pound.
One student noticed and started feeding me. The same for one of the teachers. Then the moment came: I had to go. My mom woke me up at midnight, threw my things into a duffel bag, and put me on a Greyhound bus at 2 in the morning. On the other end, I was going to meet my father for the first time.
I didn't finish high school. I didn't finish my studies at SBCC or anywhere else until decades later. I didn't have the money to do it, and as a caucasian, was ineligible for many forms of financial aid. Eventually, I earned my PhD from a prestigious university, but not because I was privileged in any way other than my own ability and work ethic.
FVD wordt dagelijks zwartgemaakt met de meest walgelijke labels en vergelijkingen.
Maar wanneer @pvanhouwelingen een gekscherende tweet plaatst over de SDG’s, wordt hij aangeklaagd en vervolgd.

Blanke mensen zijn de norm in Europa, net zoals zwarte mensen dat zijn in Afrika en bruine mensen in het Midden-Oosten. En juist ómdat wij de norm zijn, is het hier goed vertoeven en komen Afrikanen en Midden-Oosterlingen hierheen, om vervolgens te eisen dat wij worden uitgewist. Het grote gevaar daarvan is dat Europa verandert in de barre, armoedige en gewelddadige shitholes waar deze migranten vandaan komen. Geen prettig vooruitzicht.
Bij deze wil ik Rob Jetten een keer bedanken.... Mag ook eens, toch?
Nu in de tuin 32°C, zonder Rob zou dat een helse: 32,0000036 °C zijn.
En dat voor dat bedragje van 28 miljard, een echt no-brainer!
Bedankt pik! 👊
Bedankt #D66
En niet alleen kinderen. Maar als je in 2020 zei wat Károly nu zegt, werd je de mond gesnoerd, werd je gecanceld door vriend, familie en vijand of werd je, zoals ook ik, uitgescholden of bedreigd.
En die kinderen? Alleen al in mijn eigen omgeving waren er vijf pubers die direct of indirect zelfmoord hebben gepleegd. Het wordt tijd voor aansprakelijkheid nemen voor degenen die dit beleid hebben ingezet.
Rape gangs are not some kind of aberration. Ask any combat veteran what they saw in Afghanistan. The sexual torture and slavery of children is utterly commonplace in Muslim countries. It’s part of their “culture.” Which is why it’s suicidal to import that culture into the west.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

@IrisLiede Helaas.
Bij jonge lesbiennes die denken dat ze man zijn, worden vanaf 16 de borsten geamputeerd.
Ouders die dat proberen tegen te houden, zijn nu strafbaar!!!
Kinderen in sociale transitie, 12-jarigen met puberteitsremmers, 16-jarigen met hormoontherapie... Hun lichaam wordt onherstelbaar beschadigd.
Iedereen die er vraagtekens bij plaatst, wordt strafbaar door de nieuwe conversiewet. Zélfs de ouders.
De SGP werkt daar niet aan mee. Zie hier de stemverklaring van @Peter_Schalk.
