Trans-identified male Petra De Sutter (Paul), who has been the Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium since 2020, and was formerly a member of the European Parliament, gave a TEDx talk in Brussels in 2018 praising Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" as a vision of a future to aspire to.
In the talk, titled "Tele-Babies," De Sutter, a former gynecologist, praises gene-editing as a moral imperative and quotes Julian Savulescu, who has co-authored an academic paper on "why eugenic selection is preferable to enhancement."
"In the world of Aldous Huxley, procreation is not something that is connected with sexuality or with relationship or family-building anymore. You just go to a clinic or a factory, if you wish, and you give your gametes.
After so many months, you can pick up your child, which has been genetically enhanced and designed according to the features that you want."
De Sutter has previously been accused of a conflict of interest when campaigning to alter laws to permit the surrogacy industry in Europe. He has openly profited from surrogacy practices in the hospital where he worked as a gynecologist, University Hospital of Ghent, and co-developed a surrogacy clinic in India called Seeds of Innocence.

This internal email from a tenured professor at Nathan Cofnas’ department shows not only that the “barrage” of complaints about the “negative effects on well-being” was perfectly coordinated, but that it was explicitly encouraged by rector Petra De Sutter herself. If this is true, she was actively egging on the hecklers in order to grant them a veto, which makes the whole affair even worse. /2

Fauci Senior Advisor David Morens pleads guilty to "Conspiracy to Commit Offenses and to Defraud the United States" in connection with conspiring with Fauci, Daszak, Keusch, and others to defraud the public about NIH-funded gain-of-function research and the origin of COVID.
@vanranstmarc Ofschoon een kleerkast vol truien werden maar weinig draadjes ontrafeld. De zijlijngeneraals werden vooral aan wal gehouden omdat hun informatie niet mocht meevaren. Er valt weinig troost te vinden in de gedachte van voortschrijdend inzicht als er slechts 1 retoriek mag bestaan.
@FrankVanmeenen Absoluut te blijven! Een gezonde mix van platformen en meningen bevordert kritisch denken en een onderbouwde mening. Verplaatsen naar waar de massa zit is enkel maar een grotere echokamer.
@vrtnws Het klopt dat door de klimaatverandering en aanhoudende hitte kinderen tot 2x moeten gaan drinken. Die 2e keer werd daarom in ruw beeld gebracht als bewijs.
Wordt het niet stilaan tijd dat de VRT haar echte werk doet en die documenten gewoon eens leest?
En daar vervolgens over bericht, in plaats van te doen alsof deze hoorzitting een politieke afrekening is.
Want daar gaat het helemaal niet over.
Het gaat over cruciale vragen als:
→ Kwam het virus uit het labo in Wuhan?
→ Waarom werd dat Chinese labo, mee onder verantwoordelijkheid van Anthony Fauci, met Amerikaans belastinggeld gefinancierd?
→ Waarom gebeurde dat?
→ Welke documenten en communicatie werpen daar vandaag nieuw licht op?
Dáár gaat deze parlementaire hoorzitting over: feiten onderzoeken en de waarheid proberen te achterhalen. En daar heeft de hele wereld recht op.
Of misschien gaat het ook over het feit dat Fauci preventief gratie kreeg van Biden (althans via diens autopen), maar zich tegelijk op het Vijfde Amendement beroept om vragen niet te beantwoorden. Wat niet mag, waarom doet hij dat -ook bij de meest eenvoudige vragen? Ook dat is nieuws.
En misschien gaat het ook over iets waar we in Europa nog wat van kunnen leren: de openbaarheid van bestuur.
Dat documenten van politici en topambtenaren, na juridische procedures, effectief boven water kunnen en moeten komen. 🧐
Wanneer krijgen wij trouwens eindelijk de volledige sms-uitwisseling tussen Ursula von der Leyen en Albert Bourla te zien over de miljardencontracten voor vaccins?
Journalisten zouden zich terug met dat soort vragen moeten bezighouden.
Met documenten lezen.
Met feiten onderzoeken.
Met machthebbers controleren.
Niet met elke kritische vraag wegzetten als een politieke afrekening, terwijl ze juist de kern raakt van wat onderzoeksjournalistiek hoort te zijn.
@grok@satyressrobots@grok what is the reason they chose for that specific centaur-form and demonic goat head straight from hell? I mean it’s a robot, it can take basically any shape
@JathenBrown@elonmusk There is now an active socialist policy to grant citizenship, not only amnesty. On top, once in they can roam freely in EU zone because of Shengen open boarder policy
Fauci in 2022: “I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee.
I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.
I’m going to do what I need to do, and that is cooperate fully, because we have nothing to hide at all.”
Four mistakes Fauci made when pleading the 5th today:
1. Once a witness opens the door to a topic, the witness cannot then plead the 5th with regard to that topic. And Fauci’s opening statement opened many doors widely, including when he claimed he had a “decades-long record of cooperating with Congress” including “during and after the Covid pandemic” when he “appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House.” That puts the question of whether he properly cooperated when responding to questions, including prior questions from Senator Paul, in all of those hearings directly at issue. Here are a few of his statements through which he opened the door broadly:
•“I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.”
•“Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years.”
•“During and after the Covid pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing.”
•“However, Given Senator Paul’s obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently, his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary, aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something – anything – that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars.’ Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion.”
•“Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the constitution to refrain from answering your questions.”
2. The 5th amendment can only be used when answering a question which would present real and appreciable danger. Thus, his use of the 5th during the hearing for questions that clearly don’t meet this standard, including about the color of his tie and what day of the week it is, reflects on its improper use during the hearing overall.
3. Since invoking the 5th is question specific, announcing before even hearing the questions that he would “refrain from answering [the committee’s] questions” under the 5th was itself improper.
4. Finally, ignoring the broad presidential pardon he received, as if it doesn’t exist, including for questions that would clearly fall within the parameters of that incredibly broad pardon, was a misstep that may come back to bite him later.
