Peter-Vincent Schuld Kent u het nog? Die rommel van Microsoft met hun Windows. Ik heb er altijd een pesthekel aangehad. Via een systeem moest je volgens hun manier van denken leren werken. Hartelijk bedankt, maar ik houd liever mijn eigen manier van denken aan. Dus was ik vanaf het begin dat ik een computer gebruikte […]
Koos van Houdt In the British newspaper The Times of this Thursday morning, 28 March, we can read an indignant report about the possible closure of access for the British to the European Union’s Copernicus space project. The programme costs 4 billion euros and the British have been taking part in it so far. It […]
Peter-Vincent Schuld Er hangt in deze Goede Week, de week voor Pasen waarin christenen het lijden van Jesus Christus herdenken, een mystieke sfeer in het Spaanse Malaga. Door de straten verplaatsten zich processies begeleid door melancholische klanken voortgebracht door koperblazers en trommelaars. Leden van lokale broederschappen volbrengen deze week hun jaarlijkse zware taak door enorme […]
Peter-Vincent Schuld I grew up during the Cold War. The nuclear missiles were pointed at each other. Pernicious communism in the face of the free West. Capitalism was embraced by the Russians after the fall of communism and has since taken on a superlative form of how we know it here in the West. Everything […]
Bernd Carpenter There is little nature in the Netherlands, but fortunately we do have the Wild West where fences and bullets determine the rules. “There is only one of the Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. In fact, there is no area in the whole of Europe that can be compared to the Oostvaardersplassen.’ Thank goodness a […]
Peter-Vincent Schuld Hatred equals negativity. That doesn’t help anyone. Every right-thinking person wants us to treat each other in a decent way. But in order to keep our habitat pleasant, we have to protect our freedom. Then sometimes you have to stand up and say “stop this”. The people who fell for our freedom were […]
Peter-Vincent Schuld If you read, watch and listen carefully, you will see that the “tolerant” society has really been put under maximum high voltage these weeks. While the acting mayor of Amsterdam, Van Aartsen, cheerfully states that Salafism is not a movement within Islam and that we should reach out to Salafists, the Dutch intelligence […]
Peter-Vincent Schuld Nooit te voren heeft uw verslaggever zoveel mensen weten weg te vallen uit zijn kring van bekenden, naasten en zeer naasten en dat in zo’n korte periode. Van nabij sloeg hij een verlies gade, leefde mee, rouwde mee. Hierbij een exact en waar gebeurd verhaal. Omwille van de privacy van betrokkenen kiezen we […]
Koos van Houdt Between 2002 and 2004, Aart Jan de Geus and Mark Rutte were ministers and state secretaries at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment. De Geus has been chairman of the board of the Bertelsmann Stiftung in Berlin since 2012. Last Friday we saw the ‘old boys network’ in action. Is there […]
Koos van Houdt If there is a place where ’the devil is in the details’, it is in the negotiations on a common European asylum and migration policy. There have been and are fine words about it. But if Greece and Italy are faced with a disproportionate burden, the other Member States will simply look […]
