"I've done live fact-checking during breaking news events for years. But the sheer volume of viral misinformation today regarding Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crash posted by fake osint accounts and blue tick grifters for engagement (on Twitter/X) has been something to behold," says Shayan Sardarizadeh, a journalist at BBC Verify.

There’s one crucial point on which the will still keep the faith with : . Just like ’s right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the Netherlands’ new far-right government will stick with Ukraine. The incoming government will support Kyiv, truly, deeply and constantly. As I have previously written, paying obeisance at the western world’s newest shrine, Kyiv, appears to have become a purity test of sorts. https://www.rashmee.com/dutch-far-right-geert-wilders-ukraine/

Leo Lucassen: "Want met name Wilders weet heel goed dat zijn radicale plannen zullen sneuvelen in de rechtszaal en in Brussel."

De verwachting dat instituten, wetten, verdragen, procedures etc. onze samenleving zullen beschermen tegen de fascistische invloed van de PVV is naïef. De PVV heeft dit conflict juist nodig. NSC positioneert zichzelf met het profiel van zielloze letterknechten uitermate effectief als doelwit voor toekomstig volkshaat.

Sorry Pieter! Maar dit coalitieakkoord is niet te verkopen als goed bestuur of versterking van de rechtsstaat.

Het spijt me, Pieter. Het valt op dat je belangrijke onderdelen van beter bestuur als schaamlap gebruikt.

Pieter, vergeef me. Maar het lijkt haast niet de bedoeling dat deze coalitie blijft zitten.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

De rode diesel keert terug. Een triomf, aldus Caroline vd Plas.
Rode diesel is de goedkopere brandstof, met een lager accijnstarief, voor boeren, tuinders en loonwerkers met voertuigen die doorgaans niet op de openbare weg rijden.

De herinvoering bespaart de doelgroep 28 cent per liter diesel en kost de overheid 141 miljoen euro aan belastinginkomsten.
https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/rode-diesel-terug-van-weggeweest-het-kon-niet-en-het-mocht-niet-maar-het-kan-dus-wel~be19b468/

Opnieuw: geld van burgers vloeit naar boeren. 😡 Plus: elektrificatie van voertuigen wordt vertraagd.

De reguliere landbouw, die economische motor van Nederland, kan alleen maar bestaan als ze voortdurend subsidies en belastingvoordelen krijgt toegestopt. Er is geen andere beroepsgroep die zo ontzettend aan het overheidsinfuus hangt.
