A former woke teacher wrote that MP Nicole Moinat described, according to them, an established order that had lost its moral compass. The teacher stated that criminal organizations were recruiting very young people for explosions, drug trafficking, and assassinations because, according to them, juvenile offenders were hardly punished. In The Hague, according to the teacher, young criminals were primarily seen as victims of their circumstances. The teacher criticized explanations of crime based on disadvantage, personal problems, and a difficult childhood, because those explanations, according to them, obscured the responsibility of the offenders. The teacher also stated that the compassion for offenders was greater than the concern for victims. Young people deserved a second chance, according to them, but it should not outweigh the safety of society. The teacher wrote that the government, out of fear of appearing inhumane, no longer dared to set limits and that the consequences of this were borne by people who obeyed the law. #rechtstaat #criminaliteit #veiligheid (translated)

David Lisnard believes that the SCAF and MGCS programs, launched in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel to develop the future combat aircraft and tank, are strategic and industrial dead ends. He criticized French leaders for prioritizing Franco-German cooperation without first verifying the convergence of military interests, technological mastery, and the distribution of industrial responsibilities. According to him, a high-level Franco-German seminar held on October 7 would have revealed a different method: starting from the needs of the armed forces and industrial interests, then allowing companies to build viable cooperations before giving them, if necessary, a political translation. Lisnard stated that during the negotiations on the MGCS, Germany was preparing for the succession of the Leopard 2, notably with the Leopard 3 project, and that the delay created a military vulnerability. He called for a break with a conception of European defense that, according to him, confuses cooperation with the dilution of sovereignties. He advocated for a distribution of roles in which the political power sets ambitions and means, the armed forces define their needs, and the industries develop solutions and partnerships. Lisnard also urged for the immediate preparation of the renewal of French ground combat capabilities, beyond the simple replacement of the Leclerc, notably by integrating armored vehicles, drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, and data management. He estimated that this required investments in industry, a recovery of public finances, and a more efficient use of military credits. Finally, he accused the current government of having caused France to lose valuable years and argued that the issue concerned its ability to prepare for future conflicts, ensure the security of the French people, and defend the nation. #Défense #Souveraineté #Coopération (translated)

Sander Sassen addressed Henri Bontenbal and wrote that he had been little visible for months, despite an earlier column by Sassen about his absence. According to Sassen, Bontenbal had published a long thread on October 7, in which he labeled Hamas a terrorist organization and reflected on the victims and the Jewish community. Sassen felt that Bontenbal had subsequently blurred the responsibility for the violence by talking about a chain of violence, the Israeli response, and civilian casualties. He also believed that Bontenbal had pointed to Benjamin Netanyahu's settlement policy as an obstacle to a two-state solution. Sassen argued that this approach equated Hamas's attack and kidnappings with Israel's response, thereby fueling antisemitism. Sassen also criticized Bontenbal's reference to an article in Trouw about Maoz Inon, who lost his parents to Hamas, and Aziz Abu Sarah, whose brother died in an Israeli prison. Sassen described their pursuit of reconciliation as hopeful but felt that Bontenbal presented this initiative as a serious way forward without giving sufficient attention to Hamas's persistence and objectives, according to him. He also stated that Hamas deliberately saddled Palestinian children with hatred for Jews. Sassen wrote that, in his opinion, Bontenbal offered false hope and insufficiently placed responsibility for Hamas's violence on the perpetrators. He claimed that Hamas and its supporters aimed for the destruction of Israel and stated that disarmament by Palestinians, in his view, would bring peace, while Israel's disarmament would lead to a new attack like the one on October 7. #Israël #Hamas #Antisemitisme (translated)

Instant Foot reported, citing CFBayern, that Bayern wished to extend Michael Olise's contract with a significant salary increase, as he currently earns 14 million euros per year, compared to 25 million for Harry Kane. The account indicated that Real Madrid and Liverpool are keeping an eye on the player ahead of next summer. According to Instant Foot, Olise's entourage would demand a release clause in his contract. The club, which would typically oppose this type of clause, might agree to set the amount at 200 million euros. #BayernMunich #MichaelOlise #Transferts (translated)

Sturry wrote that he was taking advantage of a breakdown on the highway to respond to the controversies surrounding the audience's chants. He mentioned Claudio's farewell speech, which, in his opinion, reminded everyone of the essentials, as well as the energy of the Blindé to say goodbye. He added that nothing would make him forget the emotion that had made him cry nor the fact of having seen his best friend comment at the edge of the ring. #Emotion #Musique #Amitié (translated)

The Political Analysis stated, citing CNN, that Flávio Bolsonaro and the PL intended to request the impeachment of Minister Flávio Dino in 2027. According to the publication, Dino was the rapporteur for investigations into corruption related to amendments that would affect party members and Flávio himself. The account said the goal would be to have a Supreme Court that would protect bolsonarism from investigations. #Impeachment #FlávioDino #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

DBerber criticized that Russian trolls were spreading the claim of NATO's eastward expansion under his posts every day. He called it a lie and claimed that Mikhail Gorbachev had clarified that there had been no contractual promises against NATO expansion. The Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Yasov had also admitted that such guarantees had never been discussed, DBerber wrote. He accused the trolls of repeating Putin's propaganda and urged them to present arguments or leave his timeline. He wished his other followers a relaxing weekend and wrote that he would spend the time with friends and his Ukrainian husband. #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen (translated)

To think about: In April 1946, Nazi leader Hermann Göring explained in his cell in Nuremberg exactly how political power really works. He said that ordinary people never demand war or crisis, but you can always get them on board. The recipe is simple: tell them they are in danger, and accuse the critics of endangering the community. That eighty-year-old formula is today the exact blueprint behind the permanent state of crisis in which we are kept. We see this in the conflict between Europe and Russia over Ukraine, where fear is used to push through billions in weapons without real democratic debate. But it doesn’t stop at geopolitics. We saw the same recipe with COVID-19, and now with climate change and the energy transition. It penetrates into our immediate living environment, such as the Environmental Vision Fryslân or the planned closures of the Wadden nature. While island residents are excluded, the elite discusses coercive 'system changes' at the Springtij Forum on Terschelling. The control over the narrative has now gone frighteningly far. Unheard Netherlands (ON!) is being ousted from the public broadcasting system, and through new legislation, there is an open search for ways to ban right-wing opposition parties. This is exactly where history painfully begins to rhyme with the 1930s, when critical media and parties were gradually silenced under the guise of 'public order' or 'safety'. The lines of this coordinated policy go directly to international networks and think tanks such as NATO, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the UN with their coercive SDGs. Through programs like the Young Global Leaders, politicians worldwide are being trained to roll out exactly the same crisis narratives in their own countries. Our local democracy seems to have become an execution office for a predetermined global agenda. The great eye-opener that Göring left us is that this mechanism works in every system. Once a population is made afraid enough of an invisible enemy (whether it is a virus, an aggressor, nitrogen, or CO₂), it willingly surrenders its freedom, its diverse media, and its common sense. Fear is the ultimate weapon to steer the masses. This pattern only stops when we cease to blindly follow that automatic pilot of fear. Will you let history repeat itself, or will you say no? #politiek #geschiedenis #angst (translated)

Blinde woede voor de deur van de Zara in de Haarlemmerstraat. 📣 Waarom deze Spaanse modegigant geboycot moet worden? Vrijwel niemand weet het nog. Massahysterie op zaterdagmiddag. #Leiden #Zara #BDS https://t.co/FwqlcwObkE #Zara #BDS #Leiden

Wat een daverende invalbeurt nog van Ruben van Bommel en de Oranje-volgers die Joey Veerman de afgelopen jaren klakkeloos afdeden als iemand zonder enige waarde voor Oranje hadden last van tunnelvisie of volgden blindelings Koeman. En Gakpo 👍. Al heel lang de MVP bij Oranje. #Oranje #Gakpo #Voetbal

Die Gewerkschaften und Betriebsräte merken nun zunehmend, was sie mit ihrem blinden Kadavergehorsam gegenüber der "grünen Transformation" mit angerichtet haben - und das gegenüber ihren Kollegen, die darauf vertraut haben, dass sie deren Interessen vertreten. Nun wachen sie aus dieser grünen Trance auf, aber wer zu spät kommt, den bestraft das Leben. https://t.co/KXGjwO9UHP #Gewerkschaften #Transformation #Interessenvertretung
