Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that, in his opinion, it was not a sufficient correction to mention that those involved were members of the PVDA. He argued that they were party-driven and that their testimony was staged. According to him, if an article contained only such testimonies, it was worthless. He added that discussions about fake news and Trump were happening daily in the meantime. #Politiek #Fakenews #PVDA (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that, in his opinion, the media repeatedly selected testimonies from people who were active in the PVDA in reports about the consequences of a smaller government. He stated that one of them said they had to skip meals due to the policy but had money for solidarity trips to Cuba. The measure in question limited child benefits to the age of 23, Vande Reyde wrote. He added that there were exceptions for cases with valid reasons and risk of poverty, but claimed that these did not apply to the activists involved. According to Vande Reyde, the same PVDA activists were at the forefront of various protests, from climate marches to protests against coalition agreements. He also claimed that the media once portrayed an adult PVDA member of parliament as a protesting student. Vande Reyde wrote that this kind of reporting was a reason for the historically low trust in the media. #Media #België #PVDA (translated)

The author questioned why no newspaper or TV channel paid attention to the departure of Jewish scientists, intellectuals, and doctors from Belgium.

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that, in his opinion, tax increases were too obvious in Belgium. He stated that academics, experts, and journalists often defended increases as difficult but inevitable and economically sensible, while political opponents were dismissed as enfant terrible. In Flanders, according to Vande Reyde, within less than two years, registration fees and costs for waste management had been increased, a road tax had been introduced, and various levies had risen, especially for entrepreneurs. The promised reduction of inheritance tax had also been scrapped. No party had announced these measures before the elections, he wrote. Vande Reyde added that, in the meantime, nothing was happening to reduce the state apparatus. According to him, cuts at the federal level were deemed impossible, while the removal of a small amount of Flemish subsidies was portrayed for weeks as an infringement of universal human rights. He also stated that the press regularly presented so-called spontaneous testimonials from people who almost always turned out to be PVDA activists, and that others viewed things differently. #Belastingverhogingen #Vlaanderen #Politiek (translated)

After the Second World War, thousands of Dutch women in internment camps were subjected to serious sexual violence by guards, a shocking truth that has only recently come to light from testimonies that had long been kept hidden. #seksueelgeweld #oorlogsgeschiedenis #vrouwelijkegevangenen (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that Sven Pichal's testimony, in his opinion, offered no insight and was neither healing nor educational. He described it as a series of lukewarm excuses from someone who, according to him, knew well how the media worked, and noted that Pichal had then stated he was not looking for excuses. Vande Reyde called it a publicity stunt for and by a circle of acquaintances. #media #excuses #getuigenis (translated)

In a poignant testimony, police officer Marjan Stikkelorum describes how a heartbreaking accident involving an injured child changed his perspective on the profession, and the emotional impact that the family's negative reaction had on him during the assistance. #Politie #Hulpverlening #EmotioneleImpact (translated)

Julien De Wit wrote that a colleague had posted his testimony on LinkedIn and that he found it worth sharing. The self-employed individual mentioned that he had received chemotherapy with Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide three years earlier, followed by radiotherapy. A month after his last radiation treatment, he had returned to work, although his supervising doctor thought it was too soon according to him. He had quickly reduced his replacement income of about 40 euros per day. The colleague wrote that he worked as a self-employed individual without staff through a company and had no fixed salary, paid sick leave, or vacation pay. If he was sick or took a holiday, he earned nothing. With a full schedule ahead, he was afraid of getting sick this month, he wrote. He opposed what he considered to be negative perceptions of self-employed individuals with a management company and called for respect for the risks they themselves bore. https://t.co/JNrZ60Kq3n #zelfstandigen #ondernemen #respect (translated)

The recent testimony of an officer, who claims to have been bullied by the victims of Richard K. in the past, seems unlikely to contribute to K.'s defense in the murder case, as the court in Leeuwarden has determined that this statement is unrelated to the case. #Weiteveen #moordzaak #RichardK (translated)

An unprecedented testimony from an officer about the victims in the Weiteveen murder case raises the question of whether this could have any influence on the life sentence for Richard K., while the lawyer has attempted to demonstrate that the victims may have driven his client to madness. #moordzaak #RichardK #getuigenis (translated)

The documentary 'Naza', directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, reveals the horrifying reality of Israeli bombardments on Gaza through the anonymous testimonies of 24 Israeli officers and soldiers who describe the use of an advanced AI program, raising profound questions about the moral implications of their actions. #Naza #Documentaire #Israël (translated)

Deze man is het bewijs dat Building 7 ondermijnd was en dat het s morgens rond 10:00 New York -tijd mee ten onder had moeten gaan met WTC I en II. Hij verklaarde over zware explosies onderin WTC 7 terwijl de torens al geraakt waren door vliegtuigen maar nog overeind stonden. Zijn zeer betrouwbare getuigenissen zijn niet opgenomen in het 9/11 Commission Report en vlak na het uitkomen er van overleed hij plotseling bij een routine controle in het ziekenhuis. Barry Jennings is één van de sleutels naar de waarheid. #9November #WTC7 #BarryJennings

Jonathan Frisher is 17 jaar oud. Op de middelbare school zeiden klasgenoten tegen hem dat hij in een gaskamer thuishoorde. Ze tekenden hakenkruisen in zijn klaslokaal. Ze brachten recht voor zijn gezicht de nazigroet. Toen hij dit meldde, werd het afgedaan als „geintjes”. Dus besloot hij er zelf iets aan te doen. Hij begon een campagne voor één verplichte les over hedendaags antisemitisme op iedere school in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Zijn eigen school voerde die les in. „Mensen boden mij hun excuses aan en hun houding veranderde.” Zijn petitie heeft inmiddels meer dan 40.000 handtekeningen. Parlementsleden steunen zijn initiatief. Joodse organisaties in het hele Verenigd Koninkrijk staan achter hem. „Nu we steeds meer Holocaustoverlevenden verliezen, verliezen we ook het krachtigste getuigenis dat er bestaat. Juist daarom moet onderwijs dat gemis opvullen.” Jonathan Frisher is 17 jaar oud. En hij is bezig zijn land te veranderen! #antisemitisme #onderwijs #verandering
