De oprichting van een staatsbedrijf voor de bouw van kerncentrales is niet iets dat een demissionair kabinet, met minder dan 1/4 van de kamerzetels, kan besluiten. Een demissionair kabinet behoort zich te beperken tot lopende zaken, en geen besluiten te nemen die impact hebben gedurende decennia

dit demissionaire kabinet mist een democratisch mandaat; een demissionaire regering behoort zich in Nederland te beperken tot de lopende zaken, zaken die geen uitstel dulden; met de arrogantie van Rutte is de afbraak begonnen, het interim ministersploegje wil nu nog wat piket paaltjes te slaan

De boerenpartijen (BBB, CDA, VVD en SGP) zouden moeten denken aan de gezondheid van de boeren en niet alleen aan de portemonaie van de boeren. Om burgers gaat het noch bij de BBB als de VVD. En, klein terzijde: DENK: dacht even niet na.

and these Qatari pilots, after being trained, and their american fighter jets will next time confront the american fighterjest of Israel when they would attack again? BUT, I thought that the USA had given security guarantees to Qatar, that US pilots would if needed protect Qatar?

Uberraschend das die Nobel Friedenspreis jury diesem Jahr den Preis an jemanden gibt die bestimmt nicht an sozialen frienden und eine gerechte Gesellschaft in Venezuela beigetragen hat, und damit den agressiven Politik Trumps in den "Hintergarten" des USA´s stutzt und ankurbelt

Missing the reference to the Palestinians right to have a viable State and not a "Bantustan" type of puzzle pieces that can not connect and leave them for ever at the mercy of the current occupier

imposed on the Palestinians and the arab world by the big Bully, certainly no peace deal, and hardly the beginning of a road to a fair settlement and a 2 State solution.

A repeated and sustained protest has been proven as one of the most effective ways to get a messgae heared and to bring about change; to curb this right thereby vilating freedom of expression is weakening our democrcay: on purpose! Remember the protest against apartheid at the South Africa House

One should remember the role that sustained long-term protests had in denouncing the southafrican apartheid regime. For 15 years protestors kept a non-stop picket outside the South African Embassy. Among them Peter Hain. What does Lord Peter Hain say now?

gleiches Problem in die Niederlande; diskreditierung der "alten" und oeffentliche Medien ist eine Prioritaet gewesen, jetzt gut gewurzelt, der Populisten; bestimmten Medien haben natuerlich auch ein Interesse daran die andern als "woke" und "extrem Links" abuzschildern.

Of course old crap, would be a scary story for a children´s book. Who is recirculating this? To divert attention from the real attack on our democracies coming from the IT billionaires who think that their wealth means they themselves and their offspring should rule the world: the real Ariers

It is telling that this is needed some 75 years later ... situation today is even worse than in the 50ies: the threat to democracy is coming from the President & VP: and technology makes it easier to attack everyone who has a different opinion than that of MAGA and white christian supremacists
