Jonathan Krispijn wrote that he announced his departure from Ongehoord Nederland a year earlier and started Krispijnpunt for himself. He said that a fellow fighter and Robert Jensen encouraged him to take that step. According to Krispijn, his own channel gave him more space to delve into subjects. He mentioned documentaries about the events of October 7, Geert Wilders' relationship with the VVD, and his ties to Israel. He also said he investigated why Wilders voted against independent research into sadistic ritual abuse. Krispijn wrote that GeenStijl and Nieuwrechts openly criticized him after publications from Krispijnpunt. In November 2025, according to Krispijn, the weekly National Agenda show started, in which he discussed the media, particularly De Telegraaf. He said he confronted editor-in-chief Kamran Ullah about a Nazi cartoon concerning Lidewij de Vos and explained who the newspaper's shareholders were. He also mentioned a documentary about the influence of politics on the media, and reports on demonstrations in the Netherlands, a trip to Ceuta, and an interview with Jared Taylor about the white race. Krispijn wrote that Krispijnpunt now had almost 30,000 subscribers, about 1,300 regular donors, and a total of 3,000,000 YouTube views. He thanked his supporters and asked readers to contribute either once or monthly. According to him, the channel aimed to grow to 60,000 subscribers and 3,000 regular donors in the coming year. He also reported that the website was expanded with articles from editor Fabio Bellarmino. #journalistiek #onafhankelijkheid #Krispijnpunt (translated)

“Between 1979 and April 2024, we recorded 66,872 Islamist attacks worldwide. These attacks caused the deaths of at least 249,941 people. • 1979-2000: 2,194 attacks and 6,817 deaths. • 2001-2012: 8,265 attacks and 38,187 deaths. • 2013-April 2024: 56,413 attacks” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The military is the main target (34%) of Islamist terrorists, ahead of civilians (27.7%) and police forces (15.3%). • 1979-2000: military (343 attacks, 15.6%), civilians (530 attacks, 24.1%), police forces (408 attacks, 18.6%). • 2001-2012: military (1,410 attacks, 17.1%), civilians (2,506 attacks, 30.3%), police forces (1,424, 17.2%). • 2013-April 2024 : military (20,556) - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Most (86.3%) of Islamist terrorist attacks have occurred in Muslim countries1. Similarly, the vast majority of deaths from Islamist terrorist attacks (88.9%) occurred in Muslim countries” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Number of Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 57,726 attacks (86.3% of Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide). Number of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 222,236 deaths (88.9% of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide)” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “In this study, we define “terrorism” as political acts that meet the principle and criteria of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). In this context, a terrorist act is presented as “the threat of the effective use or use of unlawful force and violence by a non-state actor in order to achieve political, economic, religious or social objectives, through fear, coercion or intimidation”8. This definition is extended to the enumeration of a set of characteristics specifying the nature of the terrorist act: – it must be intentional and result from a conscious calculation by the perpetrator; – it must include some level of violence or threat of imminent violence, whether physical or material; – the perpetrators of the incident must be non-state actors” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “To complete without unduly complicating matters, one can refer in particular to the definition proposed by Edward Walker, because of its relative clarity and conciseness: “By ‘Islamism’, I mean the normative political ideology that has as its core program the establishment of Islam as a state religion and the implementation of Islamic law (shari’a). Militant Islamism, then, is any form of Islamism that advocates the use of violence to achieve Islamist objectives. This same distinction is made by Islamists themselves, who refer to ‘Parties of the Islamic Call’, or al-da’wa al Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do not advocate violence) on the one hand, and ‘Parties of the Muslim Revolution’, or al-thawra al-Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do advocate violence) on the other hand14. Acknowledging that there are no universally accepted definitions of Islamism and terrorism, some researchers characterise it as an ideology whose key tenets include: – Belief that Islam is not only a religion, but also a holistic sociopolitical system; – Advocacy of shari’a (Islamic) law as divine state law; – Belief that a transnational Muslim community, known as the Ummah, should unite as a political bloc; – Advocacy of an ‘Islamic’ state, or Caliphate, within which sovereignty belongs to God” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “We have recorded 66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks that killed at least 249,941 people between 1979 and April 2024. Number of attacks: 66,872 Number of wounded: 192,598 Number of deaths: 249,941” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The possible estimate” should be between 300,000 and 400,000 deaths considering the victims of Islamist terrorism in Algeria, according to the hypotheses based on the best-known sources and the most reliable studies” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024

JULIAN ASSANGE: „Das Ziel ist ein endloser Krieg, kein erfolgreicher Krieg.“ Krieg ist ein Geldwäschebetrug auf Basis von Steuern für die transnationale Sicherheitselite – es ist ihnen herzlich egal, ob er in der Ukraine oder in Afghanistan stattfindet, das Ziel ist der Diebstahl öffentlicher Gelder. #Krieg #Friedensbewegung #Manipulation

"Zelensky jammert, dass die Ukraine 27 Milliarden Dollar zu wenig hat für das, was sie angeblich bis Ende 2027 für die „Verteidigung“ benötigt. ‼️Währenddessen sind Betrug-Callcenter – die angeblich geschätzte 1 Milliarde Dollar im Monat einnehmen, also saubere 12 Milliarden Dollar im Jahr – zu einem der lukrativsten kriminellen Unternehmen in der Ukraine geworden. Diese Zahlen stammen aus einer Studie von 2026 der Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime." #UkrainskeKrise #Korruption #Verteidigung

US-Präsident Donald Trump hat einen Erlass unterzeichnet, der privaten Firmen erlaubt, unter staatlicher Aufsicht Cyber-Angriffe gegen ausländische kriminelle Organisationen durchzuführen, um die Strafverfolgung gegen transnationale Verbrechen wie Ransomware und Finanzbetrug zu unterstützen, obwohl Bedenken hinsichtlich unbeabsichtigter Folgen und Koordinationsproblemen bestehen. #Netzsicherheit #CyberAngriffe #Kriminalität

Il faudrait profiter de l’offensive de l’extrême-centre sur les "ingérences" pour leur renvoyer à la gueule. Jamais la France n’a paru aussi perméable aux influences étrangères que sous Macron. C'est un truc de fou. Tous les pays, toutes les puissances et toutes les causes du monde disposent désormais de porte-parole sur les chaînes d’information françaises. La ruralité française y est moins représentée que les intérêts de n’importe quel état étranger. Plusieurs grands groupes médiatiques français appartiennent à des étrangers dont les intérêts économiques et géopolitiques sont ambigus. Cabinets de conseil américains, fonds d’investissement, multinationales, gouvernements étrangers, ONG transnationales, institutions européennes, l’"ouverture à la société civile" promise par la Macronie, elle s’est surtout traduite par l’ouverture des portes de l’État aux lobbyistes du monde entier. Les photomontages visant Attal et Glucksmann, c’est du pipi de chat à côté des influences étrangères, économiques, médiatiques et institutionnelles qui traversent réellement la vie politique française. #France #Politique #Médias
