Els van Veen wrote that people in the Netherlands who questioned mainstream narratives were met with fierce condemnation, negative articles in national newspapers, and damage to their reputations, according to her. She mentioned, among others, Dr. Jan van de Beek and Ir. Wouter de Heij, stating that this was not only happening around immigration but also in discussions about climate, Russia, and other subjects. Van Veen referred to former General Van Kappen, who, according to her, spoke on television about an information war in which everyone participated. She wrote that critics were often ignored when it later turned out that their questions were justified. She claimed to have experienced this herself when she asked questions about the corona policy: she received threatening letters from the Inspection and became the subject of negative articles in national newspapers. She stated that those who had reported her to the Inspection at the time were now silent, while, according to her, new narratives were emerging. Van Veen expressed her admiration for Van de Beek and De Heij. According to her, they made it clear what the consequences were when narratives were protected and critics were combated, instead of pursuing policies that centered on the well-being of the Dutch people. She wrote that the internet had ensured that their viewpoints could be heard. #informatieoorlog #narratieven #vrijeopinie (translated)

The conductor wrote that for the first time he felt concern that Ukraine would lose the war. He described Donald Trump's recent actions as a betrayal of Europe and the Western democratic world. He accused Trump of colluding with Vladimir Putin, whom he compared to Hitler, and of blaming Volodymyr Zelensky for problems including expensive diesel. According to the conductor, Trump was trying to cover up his own mistake in Iran. He stated that Putin wanted to involve Chinese President Xi Jinping in peace talks regarding Ukraine. He said the negotiations were only labeled as peaceful because Putin's demands would lead to Ukraine's capitulation. He compared Trump to "second fiddle" and wrote that Zelensky admitted Ukraine would not be able to win or even hold out without U.S. support if Washington sided with Russia. The conductor also noted that the Italian defense minister warned about the Russian army's strength of 1.5 million soldiers and that due to its financing from the Russian budget, the war cannot be immediately stopped. He attributed the Kremlin's lack of interest in a ceasefire. He accused the U.S. Secretary of Defense of mocking allied soldiers in Afghanistan, including the fallen, and labeled his actions as an insult. He criticized Europe for its silence and wrote that it seems to him that its representatives are afraid of both Putin and Trump. At the same time, he questioned whether they were waiting for Trump to take a break and change his mind again. #Ukrajina #Putin #Trump (translated)

I think we are witnessing a parade, a fair of hypocrisy and cynicism in Croatia when, over the events in Split, the fact that some young people are chanting Adolf’s name and speaking disgusting and repulsive sentences about Anne Frank, Kosor believes that those in power cannot convincingly condemn the glorification of Hitler while at the same time justifying or relativizing the Ustaše salute. #JadrankaKosor #AndrejPlenković #ustaštvo (translated)
