I am starting to believe more and more that these people are just confused and need help. They start the day with the introduction of a 36% tax on investing (the highest in the world) and end the same (!) day with the announcement of a study to stimulate investing fiscally. 🙃 (translated)
Florida sues Pfizer: pregnant women and teenagers paid the price I am genuinely very curious how this will turn out. That #Pfizer is a gang of crooks, everyone who has a bit of medical knowledge knows. The company has a reputation in this area: they haven't choked on their first lie and they have had more dubious dealings for which they had to account. But this is much bigger, and now the big players are going to get involved. Pfizer is powerful and will pull out all the stops to combat such initiatives. As a lonely citizen, you usually achieve nothing and should be glad to get away without any harm. But I think Pfizer has overplayed its hand in this case. #mRNAvaccines #Covid19 (translated)
Rob, I'm just jumping in. Team Netherlands, red-white-blue, the same freedom. Beautiful imagery, you surely have a premium ChatGPT account? But may I remind you that just four days ago you were at the D66 congress proclaiming that you were going to ‘hit certain people hard.’ And now suddenly it’s one big warm nest? Pressing question, if we all count, what about the members of parliament who just walked out during @biemyati's maiden speech instead of listening to her argument? Or don't @fvdemocratie members of parliament belong to Team Netherlands? Or am I misunderstanding, and does ‘we are all different’ only apply if the other has a different skin color or sexual preference, but is a member of @D66? You are the prime minister of the whole country, @RobJetten, not just of the people who applaud when you use aggressive language about ‘well-organized organizations’ that undermine our democracy. Show us that you are truly the prime minister of everyone, including the Dutch people you want to ‘hit hard,’ because indeed all Dutch people are different, but all deserve the same freedom, dignity, and the right to be heard, even if their political beliefs don’t agree with yours. Right? (translated)

"Israel puts journalists down in Gaza as Hamas fighters, but provides no evidence," headlined @NOS in August 2025. Israel did provide evidence, but it was generally not shared with the news consumer. Will @NOS also do this with this new video from @IDF? 1/5 (translated)
To think about: In April 1946, Nazi leader Hermann Göring explained in his cell in Nuremberg exactly how political power really works. He said that ordinary people never demand war or crisis, but you can always get them on board. The recipe is simple: tell them they are in danger, and accuse the critics of endangering the community. That eighty-year-old formula is today the exact blueprint behind the permanent state of crisis in which we are kept. We see this in the conflict between Europe and Russia over Ukraine, where fear is used to push through billions in weapons without real democratic debate. But it doesn’t stop at geopolitics. We saw the same recipe with COVID-19, and now with climate change and the energy transition. It penetrates into our immediate living environment, such as the Environmental Vision Fryslân or the planned closures of the Wadden nature. While island residents are excluded, the elite discusses coercive 'system changes' at the Springtij Forum on Terschelling. The control over the narrative has now gone frighteningly far. Unheard Netherlands (ON!) is being ousted from the public broadcasting system, and through new legislation, there is an open search for ways to ban right-wing opposition parties. This is exactly where history painfully begins to rhyme with the 1930s, when critical media and parties were gradually silenced under the guise of 'public order' or 'safety'. The lines of this coordinated policy go directly to international networks and think tanks such as NATO, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the UN with their coercive SDGs. Through programs like the Young Global Leaders, politicians worldwide are being trained to roll out exactly the same crisis narratives in their own countries. Our local democracy seems to have become an execution office for a predetermined global agenda. The great eye-opener that Göring left us is that this mechanism works in every system. Once a population is made afraid enough of an invisible enemy (whether it is a virus, an aggressor, nitrogen, or CO₂), it willingly surrenders its freedom, its diverse media, and its common sense. Fear is the ultimate weapon to steer the masses. This pattern only stops when we cease to blindly follow that automatic pilot of fear. Will you let history repeat itself, or will you say no?

Am I missing something, is there a reason for this message or does it just come out of nowhere? Is the D66 Twitter machine hallucinating? (translated)

The co-pilot of the plane to Tel Aviv underwent radical Islamist indoctrination, Netanyahu said. (translated)
"The plane began to ascend and descend." The caller himself introduced himself with the extremely suspicious name Josaphat (the king of the Kingdom of Judah mentioned in the Bible), stating that his brother's name is Nebuchadnezzar (just like the rulers of the former Neo-Babylonian Empire), which then became the target of a series of jokes on social media.
