Even over France where you HEAR NOTHING about in our large news bulletins from @NOS and @RTLnieuws Specifically about the riots in a large part of the country. The extreme-left movement LFI is reportedly involved according to intelligence services. La France Insoumise (LFI) is the largest extreme-left party in France. Jean-Luc Mélenchon founded it in 2016 after his split from the Socialist Party and the earlier Front de Gauche. LFI calls itself a "movement" and not a party. Key points: • Economic: higher minimum wage, retirement back to 60, price caps on basic goods, heavier taxation on wealth and high incomes, more public investments. • "Ecological planning": a state-driven climate transition. • Institutional: a new constitution (a "Sixth Republic") with less power for the president. • EU: disobedience to existing treaties if they block the program. There is no formal Frexit position, but the party is outspokenly critical of the EU. • Foreign policy: critical of NATO and very pro-Palestinian. I give you the bund spread: the interest rate difference between the French rate and the German rate on government debt. You see: the market no longer trusts it either. Fasten your seatbelts, this is not going away. Ps: The Netherlands can no longer be in a monetary union with France. #Frankrijk #LFI #Politiek (translated)

How can this happen again?! Rutte, NATO, Western intelligence services, etc.: "Russia can attack us at any moment!" Prime Minister of Lithuania: "I asked [Rutte] if there is evidence, real evidence, that Russia is planning something? But there is actually nothing." https://t.co/1soHusA36A #Rusland #Oorlog #Veiligheid (translated)

Rutte was made a fool of by the Lithuanian prime minister: "I asked the secretary-general [Mark Rutte]: 'Is there any evidence – real evidence from intelligence services, something concrete – that Russia is preparing for anything?' And there actually isn't." In other words: most of the hysteria of the type "Oh dear! The Russians are coming!" is fabricated and unfounded. #Rutte #Rusland #Litouwen (translated)

Almost three-quarters of EU institutions process their email through American servers, despite concerns from the European Commission about dependence on American technology and the potential access of American intelligence services to sensitive information. #EU #privacy #technologie (translated)

‘grote schade wilden aanrichten’Volgens de politie was de ontmaskering van het vermeende plot een toevalstreffer, maar vanuit Amerika liet Donald Trump zondag weten dat de inlichtingendiensten op de hoogte waren van een geplande bomaanslag. #Fairford #Terreuraanslag #BritseLuchtmacht

Het artikel van Tom-Jan Meeus behandelt de normalisering van extreemrechts in Nederland en hoe Den Haag vergeten lijkt te zijn wanneer en door wie deze ontwikkeling is begonnen, ondanks waarschuwingen van inlichtingendiensten over de opkomst van extremistische ideeën zoals 'omvolking' en 'remigratie'. #Extreemrechts #Normalisering #Politiek

Zorgwekkend wanneer inlichtingendiensten zich bezig lijken te houden met welke woorden wél acceptabel zijn en welke niet. @biemyati heeft opheldering gevraagd over het rapport waarin het gebruik van de term 'remigratie' lijkt te worden gecriminaliseerd. https://t.co/v6CUhgp9zX #vrijheidvanmening #journalistiek #politiek

De toezichthouder CTIVD maakt zich zorgen over het ongebreidelde gebruik van AI door de inlichtingendiensten AIVD en MIVD, aangezien er onvoldoende waarborgen zijn om de risico's te beheersen, en pleit voor centrale kaders en methoden om de situatie te verbeteren. #AIgebruik #inlichtingendiensten #toezicht

De schietpartij tussen de Oekraïense inlichtingendiensten GOeR en SBOe onthult diepgeworteld wantrouwen en rivaliteit, waarbij een gekidnapte adjunct-commandant beschuldigingen van spionage te boven moest komen te midden van een gewapend conflict tussen de twee instanties. #Oekraïne #Inlichtingendiensten #Schietpartij
