Just in the week that we are going to vote, the German Minister of Health comes with shocking news: the vaccinations cause a lot of damage and death. We can see this for a year and a half, data analysis has confirmed it, medical studies have described the mechanisms, in short, the Great Alarm was already struck a year and a half ago. It's just that it has never been heard from the mouths of our "authorities". And our media spoke to the government with one mouth. Most Dutch people do not get beyond what is said in talk shows and newspapers. You have to be a real 'fact-checker' to check whether what they say there is really correct with what is on the websites of rivm, CBS and MinVWS. No wonder it's going to be such a mess in parliamentary democracy. Support has been misinformed.
Left-right is so 80s
Politically engaged people struggle with their identity. The left is no longer their left. Others remain members of a party with the aim of changing it within! This shows boundless naivety with slavish loyalty to the most hypocritical sector ever: politics.
Only three political parties have structurally paid attention to what was really going on in the corona crisis: BVNL, FVD and PVV. (Pieter Omtzigt deserves an honorable mention for his vaccination motion, although little else has come out of it.)
FVD, BVNL and PVV have systematically drawn attention to the madness that resulted from the incompetence of the OMT and the agenda of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. What these three political parties have in common is their anti-globalism. The majority in politics blindly pursues concentrations of power. They act like a magnet on iron filings on drivers. It sometimes seems as if Dutch politicians are preying on Brussels plush with their obedience. Our sovereignty is effortlessly squandered while we are presented with something else in the House of Representatives.
The new paradigm is no longer left/right, it is now globalization versus sovereignty.
Globalism is attractive to international players such as top executives and multinationals, which needs no further explanation. They are therefore pulling together under ideological agendas in which they themselves pull the strings. These centralist objectives require central governing bodies and many, many Big Tech that smaller companies cannot play a role in.
Such intertwinings of governments and commercial parties have never yielded anything good. Cooperation between politicians and medics has led to even the darkest pages in European history. And that pattern should now be followed again on a global scale. An all-determining WHO, paid for by commercial medics who, like tech multinationals, work with governments that are members of the WHO. Pump the pennies around.
If there is one thing that always goes wrong, it is the accumulation of power and capital, whether communism or capitalism. In any power construction, there is always a lowest point where money and power can flow and clump together. So that's the place to be for administrators and businessmen – at least for those who don't mind being in a moral drain. And they don't think so, otherwise they would never have surfaced in the hierarchies they are part of. You have to dare to play a dirty game at least once in a while for the higher purpose. "You can't just make friends." That's what it's called.
Diversity and pluralism is always stronger
Diversity is stronger than uniformity, that is a message from the EU itself. So why do we all have to become Europeans?
One central computer is many times more vulnerable than a network. Why does everything need to be centralized? Even the personal data must be in 1 database. Why? Devise secure exchange protocols!
(And who, by the way, is going to oversee that, based on what legislation?)
Progress comes from the dynamics in teams and between teams. You have 'Teams' from micro to macro level. So why do we need to move to a central all-governing power?
And don't say that's not the aim: the pressure of the corona crisis has exposed everything. Ursula van der Leyen now has an order for a few billion prut vaccinations that the pharmaceutical companies think should be paid for, despite the fact that we no longer need them. Perhaps we can rely on a defective product, on hidden defects? That will be difficult because they were all allowed to deliver, Ursula also signed for that. On our behalf, who had to be injected with it.
Such a drama can only take place in a centralist structure. Above all, do not give feedback, democracy must be sidelined for a while. Her signature ultimately means nothing at all, but who will acknowledge that? If the EU itself so states, they can disband. This mismanagement will therefore simply be bought off with our money. Can we depose Ursula? No, she wasn't even democratically elected. Perhaps with intermediate steps, but every layer in between corrupts the democratic principle until finally an us-knows-us club sets the lines. That's why she draws so easily and she and Bourla smile so sweetly at each other.
I have never been politically engaged, only socially. But to answer the questions I received (DM, texts) about what to vote for, I would say: vote anti-globalist. The WEF is really much more than just a talking shop. You don't want to go that way if you're not in it yourself. And that's true for most.
Look again at how the House is dismissing facts and voting against a superurgent debate about life and death with empty phrases. What owl chicks walk around there. Cerebral walnuts, as Jan Bonte calls them.
My son is not going to vote. I hate it but I understand. Hope is given up.
Great piece, Anthony!
It is shocking to see a bunch of trivial people in the room reacting in this way to a very reasonable request for debate. Especially after Lauterbach's turnaround. And the scientific evidence for serious to very serious vaccine damage, which is piling up in the literature. What animates those people in the room? Rejecting the debate without going into anything substantive. What suckers, and they sit in the room on our behalf... Phew, why democracy?
How do we get back a substantively competent room, something we used to have in the Netherlands? Or, is this also an illusion?
If I knew...
As long as the media continues to collude with the political powers, nothing is going to change. The majority of people prefer to remain blind. Especially those with 2x modal and more. This is a symptom of too much prosperity. People have fallen asleep and only become vigilants when it is too late. My whole family suffers from it.
We didn't really have a competent government in the past either, as far as I can remember. Billions have always been squandered, that is inherent in politics. What's going on now is a much bigger problem. The rank and file of the 2nd chamber, the ministries themselves, are already rotten and incompetent through and through. Systematically, all knowledge has been phased out over the last 20 years and useless bureaucrats with a university education have returned. For example, the university gives them policy positions that they know nothing about, based on a piece of paper that is not even checked and the candidates rarely have to pass an assessment test. After 20 years, the ministries are now so hollowed out that they have no idea what they are doing and what to do. There is now even a kind of Twitter or Facebook invented called Plein. Where officials can meet. Soon it is filled with thousands of useless messages where especially the officials with >2 × modally spout their narrative. If you counteract such as fighting CO2 emissions in the Netherlands only means that CO2 emissions are moved to Asia including our industry and prosperity. That pops up somewhere a drs. who will explain to me exactly how it works and if we don't do anything now.... Death and destruction come upon us. Little Jehovah's witness mentality. There is no healthy discussion in that square, it is rotten through and through. And that is the constituency that a minister must provide with advice. You can't even really blame most petty mindless ministers like Jetten and his "leftist" (globalist) buddies.
Totally agree. But I do blame Jetten. It is not that difficult to see what nuclear energy, CO2 and nitrogen actually is when you take a job as Minister of Energy and Climate.
And Ms. Lisa Westerveld calls it "fake news." Of which act
Outrageous huh. What a hat.
Indeed, it seems that (to a large extent, with fortunately a few exceptions) people in the room are merely 'parrots'. pff, Westerveld, Kuiken, v/d Berg, Paulusma et al. Embarrassing to just mess around like that – without substance, without a story, without a brain. In the past, we would say: women with a "small frame of mind". It's not my club, but kudos to a number of (supposedly) right-wingers who do call the creature by its name.
Unfortunately, but true: it is mainly the ladies who have lowered the level of the House of Representatives. Emo almost always trumps facts with them. When you hear a Joba van der Berg (CDA), Judith Thiemen (VVD), Lisa Westerveld (GL), Wieke Paulusma (D66), Attje Kuiken (PvdA) or Mirjam Bikker (CU) ranting (to limit it to the debates about Corona) then I even feel a kind of vicarious shame. Although I never voted for 1 of the parties mentioned. The SGP is not so crazy as to use women very limitedly for politics... (just kidding).
That is why I am not confident that things will be different with Caroline van der Plas of BBB. She now behaves like the Dutch Margaret Thatcher, she is not (for a long time).
I think BBB and FvD voters are not supporters of these parties but only use them to vote against the coalition. That is why FvD has lost its votes just as quickly. FvD is not popular at all, they are only used.
