Je kunt je überhaupt afvragen hoe goed Haagse politici hun ‘begrip’ voor de aanvallen hebben overdacht. Begrip voor hogere benzineprijzen? Voor meer militair conflict in het Midden-Oosten? Voor de mogelijkheid dat Trump en Netanyahu honderdduizenden Iraanse vluchtelingen naar Europa dwingen?

Ons voedselsysteem maakt zichzelf (en ons) kapot. Het verwoest de bodem waarop het leeft, destabiliseert het klimaat waarvan het afhangt, en vergiftigt de mensen aan die het zou moeten voeden.

Maar de natuur laat zich niet meer goedkoop uitbuiten, en wij kunnen niet nog meer van dat gif aan.

Before and after in #Paris, surface gas station in front of a residential building, converted into green space.

Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel.

It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership.

The Pentagon is building National Guard “quick reaction forces” for U.S. cities — troops “trained for civil unrest and rapid deployment.”

The timeline most people missed:
They’re expected to be operational by April 2026. A few weeks from now.

Russische leger geeft soldaten ‘massaal en systematisch’ stimulerende middelen Het Hoofddirectoraat Militaire Geneeskunde van het Russische Ministerie van Defensie heeft richtlijnen uitgevaardigd voor de farmacologische aanpassing van de prestaties van militairen. Met andere woorden: richtlijnen voor het kunstmatig verbeteren van slagveldprestaties. De Amerikaanse denktank Robert Lansing Institute waarschuwt voor zogeheten reboundeffecten van systematisch druggebruik door Russische soldaten.

Garry Kasparov: “The US is siding with Putin. It’s openly supporting Viktor Orbán. The US Secretary of State is flying to Hungary to support the man who is opposing the entire EU, preventing them from helping Ukraine, and corrupt like hell. Nobody doubts that he’s on the payroll of Vladimir Putin.”
