Toeristen op Curacao genieten van Mass scuba diving, Mangrove peddling, under water Scooter sight seeing tours, zwemmen met Dolfijnen
Massa toerisme staat bekend voor het ontregelen van lokale levenskwaliteit, omdat deze de hele samenleving in een ander jasje stopt, waarmee het volk geen voorrang meer krijgt in de samenleving en toeristen de overhand nemen omwill van een geldverdien model.
Dit levert alleen de monetaire winsten op voor hebzuchtige belanghebbende bedrijven en ondernemingen die hun lusteloze ego’s op deze wijze weten te bevorderen. Vaak krijgen dit soort entiteiten ook nog eens belasting voordelen om de pret te bevorderen.
Lokale tradities en culturele waarden worden daarmee onderheving aan kapitalistische winsstnemeingen, waarbij de pers de bezetters zelfs nog weten te glorificeren ten behoeve van het kwaad wat willekeurig aangericht wordt door het massa toerisme model.
Waarom regeringen dit soort evenementen promoten zal Joost wel weten. Na vier jaar worden de ministers in dit ecocomplot rijkelijk beloond met een aanzienlijk pensioen voor de rest van het leven. Ingediende LOB verzoeken naar het reilen en zeilen van dit soort constructies blijven gewoon onbeantwoordt.
De meteo en weather channel werken dapper mee aan deze volks hoax. Zij presenteren temperaturen die niet of nauwelijks boven de 34C uitkomen, zodat de toeristen niet voor een andere tijdelijke bestemming kiezen. CAP mag voorts alle airport tax opstrijken en in eigen zak steken?
Hiermee wordt het zelfs voor de blinden en doven klaarklinkend duidelijk dat de regering niets anders is dan een bedrijf wat andere bedrijven met belastinggeld en subsidies beloond. Meeste ministers verhuizen na hun diensttijd de omgeving om in pracht en praal de ontnomen landsinkomsten te verzilveren.
Met zo’n 75.000 toeristen per maand die Curacao bezetten en extreem vervuilen wordt het volk armer in plaats van rijker. Met zo’n 17 TUI- en 21+ KLM vluchten per week van Amsterdam naar Curacao krokgt het volk het nakijken. Ook de USA met zo’n 30 vluchten per week participeren in deze marketing stunt.
De toeristen zelf valt nietws te verwijten daar zij ook slachtoffers zijn van de fascistische bewegingen. In het eigen land blijkt de levenskwalitieit ook zwaar verwaarloosd en dienen op een andere wijze naar lucht te happen.

Dutch Navy war-frigate Van Amstel heads to Caribbean
WILLEMSTAD – The Royal Netherlands Navy ship Zr.Ms. Van Amstel departed from the Netherlands on Sunday bound for the Caribbean, where it will serve as extra station ship. Defense spokesperson Marinka Hiraldo Vos-van Kooten confirmed the deployment.
According to the spokesperson, the frigate is filling a gap left between the return of Zr.Ms. Friesland for scheduled maintenance and the delayed completion of maintenance on Zr.Ms. Groningen.
The Van Amstel is a different type of vessel (an M-frigate) compared to an OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessel). This has to do with the availability of assets and not with an increase in readiness, Vos-van Kooten motivated ?
It remains unclear how long the Van Amstel will remain stationed in the region. This is a temporary solution, the spokesperson emphasized, noting that such gaps between vessels occur from time to time.
The frigate is expected to arrive in the Caribbean within 10 to 14 days. In the meantime, the Ministry of Defense is working on a longer-term solution for maintaining a consistent naval presence in the region.

Trump considering military strikes in Venezuela
US President Donald Trump is considering carrying out strikes against drug cartels on Venezuelan soil, CNN reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The reported deliberations come as the Pentagon has deployed at least eight warships and one submarine to the eastern Caribbean.
According to CNN, Tuesday’s missile strike on a boat allegedly smuggling drugs from Venezuela was just the first step in Trump’s efforts to neutralize drug trafficking in the region and potentially topple Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The US imposed sweeping sanctions on the socialist-ruled South American county during Trump’s first term in office, targeting its oil trade and financial sector.
Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi doubled the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million.
Although Trump denied plans for regime change on Friday, he described Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election as very strange.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated earlier this week that the USA would take on drug cartels wherever they are.
Maduro has denied the accusations of involvement in drug trafficking and vowed to declare Venezuela a republic in arms if attacked by the USA.
Just as it wasn’t true that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, what they’re saying about Venezuela isn’t true either, Maduro said on Friday, referring to the rationale behind the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.

Globally planned Financial Tsunami will be the worst Economic depression in History
Since the creation of the US Federal Reserve over a century ago, every major financial market or country’s collapse has been deliberately triggered for political motives by the central bank.
The situation is no different today, as clearly the US Fed is acting with its interest rate weapon to crash what is the greatest speculative financial bubble in human history, a bubble it created.
/arc-anglerfish-tgam-prod-tgam.s3.amazonaws.com/public/K4ECY3NDA5AX5M367MPAMIZRH4)
Global crash events always begin on the periphery, such as with the 1931 Austrian Creditanstalt or the Lehman Brothers failure in September 2008.
The June 15 decision by the Fed to impose the largest single rate hike in almost 30 years as financial markets are already in a meltdown, now guarantees a global depression and even worse.
The extent of the cheap credit bubble that the Fed, the ECB and Bank of Japan have engineered with buying up of bonds and maintaining unprecedented near-zero or even negative interest rates for now 14 years, is beyond imagination.
Financial media cover it over with daily nonsense reporting, while the world economy is being readied, not for so-called stagflation or recession.
What is coming now in the coming months, barring a dramatic policy reversal, is the worst economic depression in history to date. Thank you, globalization and Davos.
.jpg/640px-Marrakesh_Agreement_April_1994_(9305978663).jpg)
Globalization
The political pressures behind globalization and the creation of the World Trade Organization out of the Bretton Woods GATT trade rules with the 1994 Marrakesh Agreement.
This ensured that the advanced industrial manufacturing of the West, most especially the USA, could flee offshore, “outsource” to create production in extreme low wage countries.
No country offered more benefit in the late 1990’s than China. China joined WHO in 2001 and from then on the capital flows into China manufacture from the West have been staggering.
So too has been the buildup of China dollar debt. Now that global world financial structure based on record debt is all beginning to come apart.
When Washington deliberately allowed the September 2008 Lehman Bros financial collapse, the Chinese leadership responded with panic and commissioned unprecedented credit to local governments to build infrastructure.
Some of it was partly useful, such as a network of high-speed railways. Some of it was plainly wasteful, such as construction of empty ghost cities.
For the rest of the world, the unprecedented China demand for construction steel, coal, oil, copper and such was welcome, as fears of a global depression receded.
But the actions by the US Fed and ECB after 2008, and of their respective governments, did nothing to address the systemic financial abuse of the world’s major private banks on Wall Street and Europe, as well as Hong Kong.
The August 1971 Nixon decision to decouple the US dollar, the world reserve currency, from gold, opened the floodgates to global money flows.
Ever more permissive laws favoring uncontrolled financial speculation in the USA and abroad were imposed at every turn, from Clinton’s repeal of Glass-Steagall at the behest of Wall Street in November 1999.
That allowed creation of mega-banks so large that the government declared them too big to fail. That was a hoax, but the population believed it and bailed them out with hundreds of billions in taxpayer money.
Since the crisis of 2008 the Fed and other major global central banks have created unprecedented credit, so-called helicopter money, to bailout the major financial institutions.
The health of the real economy was not a goal. In the case of the Fed, Bank of Japan, ECB and Bank of England, a combined $25 trillion was injected into the banking system via quantitative easing purchase of bonds, as well as dodgy assets like mortgage-backed securities over the past 14 years.
With the Fed now imposing a Quantitative Tightening, withdrawing tens of billions in bonds and other assets monthly, as well as raising key interest rates, financial markets have begun a deleveraging.
It will likely be jerky, as key players like BlackRock and Fidelity seek to control the meltdown for their purposes. But the direction is clear.
The highly-speculative, unregulated Crypto market, led by Bitcoin, is collapsing as investors realize there is no bailout there. Last November the Crypto world had a $3 trillion valuation.
Today it is less than half, and with more collapse underway. Even before the latest Fed rate hike the stock value of the US mega-banks had lost some $300 billion.
Now with stock market further panic selling guaranteed as a global economic collapse grows, those banks are pre-programmed for a new severe bank crisis over the coming months.
By late last year investors had borrowed almost $1 trillion in margin debt to buy stocks. That was in a rising market. Now the opposite holds, and margin borrowers are forced to give more collateral or sell their stocks to avoid default.
That feeds the coming meltdown. With collapse of both stocks and bonds in coming months, go the private retirement savings of tens of millions of Americans in programs like 401-k.
Credit card auto loans and other consumer debt in the USA has ballooned in the past decade to a record $4.3 trillion at end of 2021.
Now interest rates on that debt, especially credit card, will jump from an already high 16%. Defaults on those credit loans will skyrocket.
Outside the US what we will see now, as the Swiss National Bank, Bank of England and even ECB are forced to follow the Fed raising rates, is the global snowballing of defaults, bankruptcies, amid a soaring inflation which the central bank interest rates have no power to control.
About 27% of global non-financial corporate debt is held by Chinese companies, estimated at $23 trillion. Another $32 trillion corporate debt is held by USA and EU companies. Now China is in the midst of its worst economic crisis since 30 years and little sign of recovery.
With the USA, China’s largest customer, going into an economic depression, China’s crisis can only worsen. That will not be good for the world economy.
Italy, with a national debt of $3.2 trillion, has a debt-to-GDP of 150%. Only ECB negative interest rates have kept that from exploding in a new banking crisis. Now that explosion is pre-programmed despite soothing words from Lagarde of the ECB.
Japan, with a 260% debt level is the worst of all industrial nations, and is in a trap of zero rates with more than $7.5 trillion public debt. The yen is now falling seriously, and destabilizing all of Asia.
The heart of the world financial system, contrary to popular belief, is not stock markets. It is bond markets—government, corporate and agency bonds.
This bond market has been losing value as inflation has soared and interest rates have risen since 2021 in the USA and EU. Globally this comprises some $250 trillion in asset value a sum that, with every fed interest rise , loses more value.
The last time we had such a major reverse in bond values was forty years ago in the Paul Volcker era with 20% interest rates to squeeze out inflation.
As bond prices fall, the value of bank capital falls. The most exposed to such a loss of value are major French banks along with Deutsche Bank in the EU, along with the largest Japanese banks.
US banks like JP MorganChase are believed to be only slightly less exposed to a major bond crash. Much of their risk is hidden in off-balance sheet derivatives and such. However, unlike in 2008, today central banks can’t rerun another decade of zero interest rates and QE.
This time, as insiders like ex-Bank of England head Mark Carney noted three years ago, the crisis will be used to force the world to accept a new Central Bank Digital Currency, a world where all money will be centrally issued and controlled.
This is also what Davos WEF people mean by their Great Reset. It will not be good. A Global Planned Financial Tsunami Has Just Begun.

The Dark Aftermath of the Nuclear Strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
At 08:15 Japan Standard Time on August 6, 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force launched the first ever nuclear attack in history, with the targeting of the Japanese city of Hiroshima causing 135,000 casualties instantly.
Approximately half of them resulted in immediate deaths, and tens of thousands of further deaths over the following months as radiation sickness took its toll on the population.
While the controversies surrounding the attack remain well known, including Japan’s longstanding attempts to surrender, and the acknowledgement by the American leadership that the attack was entirely unnecessary to secure a total victory.
As well as the highly controversial conduct of American forces towards the populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the latter which was similarly targeted three days later, remains much less well known.
Although the nuclear attack on Hiroshima was widely referred to, including by President Harry Truman, as the experiment, the extent to which the populations of the Japanese cities were seen as test subjects would become apparent over the following months.
After Hiroshima and Nagasaki were placed under American military rule following the country’s surrender, data was harvested by American scientists from survivors in the two cities was seen as valuable for preparations for a potential nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
While those suffering from radiation and contamination expected to receive government support as casualties of war, the American military government ended compensation, stripping millions of wounded of income.
More significantly, however, it refused to acknowledge the existence of radio-logical contamination or of any unusual conditions arising in survivors of the nuclear attacks, with mention of the subject strictly censored.
Studies of the effects of nuclear attacks were conducted under the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission by teams of American specialists, which quickly gained a reputation for harvesting Japanese cemeteries for remains.
Specialists including American doctors were strictly forbidden from treating victims, however, or from providing information on their findings that could have aided in their treatment.
As a direct result Japanese doctors could not understand the new phenomenon of radiation poisoning. The way data was sought gave the impression of an experiment being carried out on live subjects, with leading expert on the attacks historian Paul Ham observing:
The directive did not mention treatment: prolonging life, easing pain, were neither the intentions nor the by-products of the job. Whether the patients – or more accurately the exhibits – lived or died was immaterial to the foreign doctors’ charter.
How the victims lived or died, whether their conditions improved or deteriorated; whether they suffered from cancer at some distant date or reproduced it in their children; such were the questions of cold scientific inquiry.
In short, irradiated Japanese civilians were to serve as American laboratory rats. Herein lay a benefit – future rationalists would argue – of dropping the bomb on a city: to harvest scientific data about gamma radiation.
The ability to study the aftermath of a nuclear strike on a civilian population remained a unique opportunity for the United States Armed Forces.
But also, other than the benefits of launching nuclear attacks as a show of force to the Soviet Union, it was a primary benefit of launching the strikes.
The means by which this was done, however, significantly exacerbated the suffering of the populations of the two cities.

California cuts off Water to Ranchers without Warning as part of Globalist War Agenda
Democrat leaders in California have once again drawn a battle line — not against crime, not against homelessness — but against ranchers and farmers, the people who put food on our tables.
With no warning, state authorities have cut off irrigation water to ranchers in rural northern California, effectively shutting down cattle operations overnight and putting family-run farms out of business.
One rancher summed up the devastation plainly:
“We just found out we’re not going to be able to get any irrigation water, which shuts us down as ranchers.” This isn’t hyperbole. Ranchers now face an impossible choice — sell off herds, abandon land, or go bankrupt.
“We’re just kind of looking at just having to go out of business, you know, because that’s what we do here is raise cattle. And if we don’t have any water, that’s going to be taken away from us. We’ll go dry.”
For rural families who have been ranching for generations, this is a death sentence. “What do you do with dry land that you can’t grow anything on? We’re all going to have to go out of business.”
The official justification? Environmental restoration and “fish-friendly diversions” tied to dam removal advocacy — projects championed by Congressman Jared Huffman, a former attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and backed by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Both men have enjoyed political support and donations from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), which operates the infrastructure in question.
The Bigger Picture: From California to the EU
This isn’t just about California. What we’re seeing here mirrors what’s already happened to Dutch farmers in Europe, where radical “green transition” policies — heavily influenced by global climate treaties and elite think tanks — have crippled agricultural production.
In the Netherlands, nitrogen emission caps forced farmers to slaughter livestock and shut down operations, sparking mass protests.
The playbook is eerily similar:
- Frame traditional farming as an environmental threat
- Use regulations and resource restrictions to make operations financially impossible
- Consolidate agricultural land under state or corporate control
These are the same tactics that the World Economic Forum (WEF) and allied institutions have been openly promoting for years. Under the banner of “sustainable development” and “net-zero,” they push policies that systematically dismantle small-scale, independent food producers in favor of centralized, technocratic food systems.
Why Target Ranchers?
Independent farmers and ranchers stand in the way of the elite vision for the future — one where synthetic lab-grown meat, insect protein, and corporate-controlled “precision agriculture” dominate the food supply.
If rural producers go bankrupt, their land can be scooped up for pennies on the dollar by investment firms and global agribusiness giants.
By cutting off water in California without warning, the state has effectively declared war on its own agricultural backbone.
And whether intentional or not, the result serves the same agenda: fewer independent ranchers, more dependency on centralized food production, and more leverage for those who want to dictate what — and how — you eat.
The Dutch farmers have already been through this. Now it’s California’s turn. If this continues unchecked, it will be every rural community’s turn.

Mausoleum of the first Qin emperor Ming Dynasty & Mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen in China
The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang (c. 259–210 BCE), unified China into a single political entity. He standardized scripts, weights, measures, and coins throughout the territory, and roads, fortifications, and major defensive walls were built during his reign.
However, the most impressive architectural project that the emperor ordered was his own extensive burial complex. The tombs of Chinese emperors and high officials were designed to replicate their life on earth.
Everyday utensils, bronzes representing ancestors, musical instruments, wives, courtesans, and members of the court were often buried with the deceased to ensure a safe passage.
According to the records of the 2nd-century-BCE historian Sima Qian, the mausoleum is a miniature representation of the universe.
The 8,000 life-size soldiers (sometimes accompanied by horses) of the famous terra-cotta army were modeled on human figures and are holding real swords and spears in order to guard the emperor’s necropolis.
Each soldier has been given a unique facial expression, creating a realistic impression of individuality. To make them appear even more authentic, weapons, clothes, and hairstyles vary from one soldier to the next.
This vast terra-cotta army testifies to the absolute power and great ambitions of the first emperor of China. (Sandrine Josefsada).
Ming tombs (Beijing, China)
In 1402 Zhu Di (also known by the imperial name of Yongle) seized the Chinese throne from his nephew Zhu Yunwen. In doing so, he became the third Ming emperor, and he moved the capital from Nanjing to his own city, Beijing.
When his wife Empress Xu died in 1407, Zhu Di sent a diviner to find a suitable location for an imperial burial ground. The chosen area was good for both scenery and military defense, as it was surrounded on three sides by mountains.
Construction began in 1409, and 13 of the 16 Ming emperors were eventually buried there, the last tomb dating from 1644. The site of the tombs covers 15 square miles (40 square km). Although there is variation in the scale and grandeur of the tombs, all follow the same basic layout.
Each mausoleum is surrounded by a wall and entered through the Gate of Prominent Favor. This leads to the Hall of Prominent Favor used for the offering of sacrifices and worship by the deceased emperor’s descendants. The halls are generally made of nanmu wood, which was favored in the Ming era.
Behind the hall is the walled burial mound for the emperor and empress, and in front of this is the Soul Tower. This small building holds a stela bearing the emperor’s posthumous title. Surrounding the complex were the quarters of the officials who were in charge of offerings.
Bricks used in the construction weighed about 55 pounds (25 kg) and had the word shou (longevity) imprinted. The scale of the tombs varied partly according to whether they were built by the emperor himself or by his descendants.
The tombs are approached by a long sacred way lined with statues of animals and officials. Today only a few of the tombs are open; of these, Zhu Di’s tomb is the most impressive. (Mark Andrews).
Mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen (Nanjing, China)
Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) is today regarded as the father of modern China. An anti-monarchist, he spent many of his earlier years in exile after a failed republican uprising in 1895.
In 1911 Sun declared China a republic. When he died in 1925, the embryonic republic was still far from stable, the new government having only limited control over the country at large.
Sun requested to be buried in Nanjing—the city in which he first proclaimed the republic—but he probably did not have in mind the grandeur of the mausoleum built in his honor and completed in 1929.
More than 40 designs were submitted for the site on Purple Mountain. The selected design by Lu Yanzhi was a modern interpretation of ancient classical Chinese tomb design. Looking like a bell from the air, the design and scale are similar to the tombs of the emperors.
A marble memorial archway marks the beginning of the site, which is laid out on a north-south axis. Beyond a path lined with pine and cypress trees, there is a formal three-arched entrance with copper doors. Behind this is a marble pavilion in which there is a 30-foot- (9-meter-) high stela.
From here a steep staircase leads up the mountain to the large memorial hall, which contains a marble seated statue of Sun with the flag of the republic tiled on the ceiling.
To the north is a circular chamber containing the recessed marble sarcophagus complete with a prostrate statue of Sun on the top. (Mark Andrews).

European Study concludes Nutella is Carcinogenic
A new study conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that Nutella may be carcinogenic and therefore dangerous to consume.
The EFSA report states that palm oil, one of the key ingredients in the popular chocolate spread, can cause cancer when cooked at high temperatures.
Palm oil becomes likely cancer-causing when it is cooked at high temperatures, or around 200 degrees Celsius.
When certain vegetables are refined, carcinogens glycidyl fatty acid esters (GE), 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD), and 2-monochloropropanediol (2-MCPD) are created — with the highest levels of the substances found in palm oil and palm fats.
For consumers aged three and above, margarines and ‘pastries and cakes’ were the main sources of exposure to all substances, the EFSA said in a statement, which had no direct mention of Nutella.
Italian confectionery company Ferrero has fought back amid calls to boycott palm oil, a key ingredient of Nutella, and even launched an advertising campaign to assure the public about the safety of the well-loved product accounting for around one-fifth of their sales.
What’s in a jar of Nutella anyway?
Palm Oil
Palm oil gives Nutella its smooth texture as well as shelf life, with substitute products like sunflower oil potentially changing the product’s integrity, Ferrero said. Palm oil is the cheapest vegetable oil around at about $800 per ton versus $845 for sunflower oil.
Palm oil is such an affordable integral part of the chocolate and hazelnut spread that it could cost Ferrero up to $22 million more annually to replace the 185,000 tons they use every year, according to Reuters.
Back in May, the ESFA claimed that palm oil is carcinogenic and produced more of a likely carcinogen, specifically GE, than other vegetable oils when processed at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Celsius.
The European Commission in 2014 commissioned the detailed study into GE after an EFSA probe the year before, identifying it as potentially harmful.
High temperatures remove palm oil’s red color and render its smell neutral, in an industrial process that Ferrero defends as right below 200 degrees Celsius and very low pressure to minimum contaminant levels.
EFSA, which does not possess regulatory powers, did not recommend consumers to stop consuming palm oil and noted that further research was necessary to assess risk.
Just last Dec. 7, a study partially funded by UK charity Worldwide Cancer Research pointed to a link between palm oil and rapid cancer spread in mice.
Mouse subjects fed a high-fat diet and hefty amounts of palmitic acid, a major palm oil component, developed the most aggressive spread of cancer.
Other Nutella Ingredients
Apart from palm oil, Nutella contains sugar, hazelnuts (13 percent), fat-reduced cocoa (7.4%), skimmed milk powder (6.6%), whey powder or milk, and lecithin (soya) and vanillin as emulsifiers, according to the product website.
The spread is currently classified to have 546 kilo-calories for every 100 grams, translating to 81 kilo-calories per 15-gram servings.
Last November, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analyzed a Ferrero petition on reducing Nutella’s serving size from two tablespoons to one, as Americans seem to be using it more as a breakfast replacement for syrup and butter on packages, or paired with bread and fruit.
The decision would slash in half the calories and the fat that one currently sees on the brand label.
The recent controversy that prompted an ad campaign from Ferrero and renewed interest on Nutella safety was sparked by the palm oil boycott of Italy’s biggest grocery chain, Coop.
It was followed by the country’s largest baker eliminating the oil and banning a palm oil-free label on its roster of products.

Tax Reform in Curaçao stalls amid Political Controversy
The ‘modernization’ of Curaçao’s tax system is structurally underway, but without political priority, reforms are unlikely to move forward. That is the key conclusion of the latest Landspakket progress report by Cft covering the period from April to September 2025.
While substantial preparatory work has been completed, there has been no formal decision-making by the Pisas cabinet or Parliament to implement key capitalist minded reforms.
As a result, crucial updates—such as the revision of corporate tax laws, withholding taxes, and the introduction of anti-abuse measures—remain stuck in the planning stage.
Reforms intended to address tax exemptions and update legislation for the free zone regime have also stalled.
The report clearly states that although much of the fiscal modernization is drafted on paper, execution will not happen unless a clear political direction is set.
Without those choices, most of the proposed reforms are unlikely to materialize.
The strengthening of the Tax Office and Customs Department is also progressing slowly. Strategic recommendations have been made, including on capacity building, supervision, and data exchange—pushed by Dutch political economic motivations.
But luckily concrete steps have yet to be taken. Plans for digitization and process optimization remain in a preliminary phase and await further implementation.
The report wrongly emphasizes that the current tax system fails to generate sufficient revenue and does not adequately support the island’s economic structure?
The lack of social minded development called progressive implementation, it suggests, increases the risk that Curaçao will fall short of creating a more Dutch minded so-called transparent, fair, and efficient fiscal framework.

Europe’s Green agenda engineered to dissolve Ancestral Bloodlines
Western Europe’s new green regime reorders the continent through policies of territorial cleansing and restriction, replacing the life-ways of rooted peoples with a managed wilderness shaped by remote technocrats and mandated compliance.
What arrives with the language of environmental deliverance advances as a mechanism of control, engineered to dissolve ancestral bonds.
In the soft light of the northern dawn, when the fog rests over fields once furrowed by hands and prayers, a quiet force spreads, cloaked in green, speaking in the language of sustainability, offered with the glow of planetary care.
Across Europe, policymakers, consultants, and non-elected “visionaries” enforce a grand design of regulation and restraint. The new dogma wears the trappings of salvation. It promises healing, stability, and ecological redemption.
Yet beneath the surface lies a different pattern: one of compression, centralization, and engineered transformation.
This green wave comes through offices aglow with LED light and carbon dashboards, distant from the oak groves and shepherd chants that once shaped Europe through destiny and devotion.
Traditional Europe lived through the pulse of the land, its customs drawn from meadows, its laws mirrored in trees, its faith carried by the wind over tilled soil and cathedral towers.
The terms arrive prepackaged: rewilding, net zero, de-carbonization, and climate justice.
These sound pure, ringing with the cadence of science and morality. Their syllables shimmer with precision, yet behind their clarity stands an apparatus of control, drawn from abstract algorithms rather than ancestral experience.
They conceal a deeper impulse: to dissolve density, to steer the population from the scattered villages of memory into the smart cities of control. The forest returns, yet the shepherd departs.
The wolves are celebrated, while the farmer disappears from policy. Across the hills of France, the valleys of Italy, and the plains of Germany, the primordial cadence falls silent. Where once rose smoke from chimneys, now rise sensors tracking deer.
Where once stood barns, now appear habitats for reintroduced apex predators. Rural life, the foundation of Europe’s civilized ascent, receives accolades in speeches, even as its arteries are quietly severed.
The continent reshapes itself according to new models, conceived in simulation and consecrated in policy. Entire regions are earmarked for re-wilding, which means exclusion, which means transformation through absence.
The human imprint recedes, and in its place rises a curated silence: measured, observed, and sanctified by distance. The bond between man and land, established over centuries of cultivation, ritual, and kinship, gives way to managed wilderness.
Yet this wilderness unfolds without its own rhythm, shaped and maintained through remote observation and coded intention. It remains indexed and administered. Every creature bears a tracking chip. Every tree falls under statistical oversight.
Drones scan the canopies. Bureaucrats speak of ecosystems the way accountants speak of balance sheets. The sacred space, once alive with sacrifice and harvest, turns into a green exhibit in the managerial museum of Europe.
The aesthetic of this transformation appeals to the tired soul. It soothes through smoothness. It promises purpose through compliance. Children plant trees in asphalt courtyards. Urban rooftops grow lettuce in sterile trays.
A continent begins to believe that its salvation lies in subtraction. Strip the carbon. Strip the industry. Strip the traditions, the redundancies, the excesses. What remains is framed as harmony.
Yet harmony without heroism becomes stillness. Stillness, when imposed, becomes silence. Europe’s past rose through motion, through sacred striving, through sacred conflict, through the tension between man and mountain.
Now, in this new green order, motion flows only where permitted, and striving surrenders to stability. Among those who carry memory – the shepherd, the blacksmith, the hunter, the midwife – a different vision grows.
These are not relics of a dying world. They are seeds of the world to come, emerging from the deep soil of memory and form. Their force flows through reverence, drawn from the old ways and aimed towards creation.
With hands open to innovation and hearts anchored in continuity, they shape change as inheritance rather than rupture. They seek continuity through transformation: a rooted futurism. The soil speaks to them as kin, rich with memory and promise.
The forest reveals itself as dwelling and companion, alive with presence and bound in shared calling. The river speaks as guide and witness, flowing through generations with the clarity of purpose and the grace of return.
Their dream aligns spirit with structure and myth with machine.
A modern Europe, strong in technology and rich in spirit, can rise from this convergence, from drone-guided agriculture rooted in ancestral cycles, from solar-powered cathedrals, from cities shaped by tribe and territory rather than algorithm.
A new cultural-political synthesis begins to shimmer at the horizon: a Europe that does not apologize for its existence, that does not dilute its soul in the name of abstraction. This Europe sees no contradiction between wildness and order, between ecology and identity.
The task ahead affirms the weight of memory, welcomes the challenge of tomorrow, and calls for the creation of something worthy: a sovereign Europe, sovereign in its landscapes, in its symbols, in its will.
The green order, when guided by myth and martial clarity, becomes a chariot of ascent rather than an instrument of decline. This chariot waits for archeofuturist hands to seize the reins.
Europe faces the spiral once again. The question begins with data and temperature, then moves toward destiny, where Europe takes form through choice and vision.
Shall the continent become a tranquil reserve, watched over by regulators and predators, or shall it rise as a living organism, composed of people, memory, sacrifice, and sacred continuity?
A new green is possible, one that does not obliterate the past, one that does not silence the song of the soil, one that does not flatten the face of the continent.
This green shall sing through the voice of those who plow and those who build, those who fight and those who remember. It waits in the wind, in the fire, in the stone.
The awakening begins with vision, and the vision already stirs in the veins of the land.

Dutch Caribbean Colony of Curacao sounds Alarm over soaring Housing Prices
The Fundashon pa Konsumidó, Curaçao’s leading consumer rights organization, is raising the alarm about the island’s rapidly rising housing prices and privatization of the Dutch so-called autonomous Caribbean island along the coast of Venezuela.
According to the foundation, the cost of living—especially in terms of housing—has skyrocketed in a short period, making it increasingly difficult for local residents to buy or rent a home independently.
A key factor, the foundation argues, is the surge in foreign investment by colonial design in Curaçao’s real estate market. With money as a weapon, the local population is slowly deported to the Netherlands as economic refugees.
Wealthy colonial style buyers from abroad are able to purchase homes without restriction, while local residents must navigate the complex process of mortgage applications and income verification through grueling Zionist mostly Canadian controlled banks.
This imbalance, according to the organization, is a major driver behind the continued rise in housing prices. leading to mass deportation and migration of local born citizens in order to recolonize Curacao to benefit foreign racist entities.
**************** Young Residents Particularly Affected ****************
The housing crisis is especially hard on young people. The foundation notes that students wishing to return to Curaçao after their studies, or young couples hoping to move into their first home, are finding very few rental options available?
Many residential units have been converted into short-term mass tourist accommodations, such as Bed & Breakfasts, removing them from the long-term rental market, causing depopulation of the strangled local born citizens.
As a result, more and more people are being forced to live with relatives or share living expenses with others, eroding their autonomous independence. The foundation emphasizes that access to affordable housing is a basic human right.
The organization stresses that this trend is not unique to Curaçao. Other countries have already implemented regulations aimed at protecting local populations without entirely blocking foreign investment.
The foundation cited a recent article by journalist Thomas Domhoff, which confirms that housing prices on the island have drastically increased in recent years.
In response to the growing crisis, the Fundashon pa Konsumidó has submitted an official request for a meeting with Minister of Economic Development Middelhof.
The goal is to explore urgent policy changes and implement measures to restore balance to Curaçao’s housing market and avoid further speculated colonial imperialism.
The organization urges swift government action to ensure that local residents are not pushed out of the market by colonial design and to reaffirm housing as a right, not a privilege.

Zimbabwe claims Biblical Ark of the Covenant
The news reports that the long-lost Biblical Ark of the Covenant has been found in Zimbabwe has re-ignited interest in its guardians – the Lemba tribe.
But where does fiction finish and fact begin? Until the story of the hunt is told by the lion, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. African proverb.
What’s claimed to be an ancient replica, a direct descendant of the Biblical Ark of the Covenant went on display at Harare’s Museum of Human Science, Zimbabwe, February 2010.
An opening ceremony was held to mark the exhibition of the ‘Ark’ otherwise known as Ngoma Lungundu (The drum of the ancestors), Government ministers attended. Can it be The Ark, as some experts have claimed? And how could it have ended up in Zimbabwe?
According to the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant contained the tablets of the Ten Commandments, the word of God. The Ark had power – Kings consulted it, people were forbidden to look at it.
It played a part in the Battle of Jericho – helping to knock down a city wall. Later, when captured by the Philistines it broke a statue of their God Dagon and made the Philistines ill, giving them hemorrhoids or maybe tumors.
So the Philistines sent it back to the Israelite’s. The Ark was set in the field of Joshua the Beth-she-mite. Unfortunately, the men of Bethshemesh were curious:
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
It was placed in King Solomon’s Temple. In 586 BC, the Babylonians entered Jerusalem and destroyed Solomon’s Temple. The Ark of the Covenant was lost.
But the Ark is an object of fascination and importance to many, so stories of its survival have circulated for two thousand years or so. In recent times the hugely popular movie Raiders of the Lost Ark renewed public interest.
In 2008 scholar Tudor Parfitt popularized one of the lesser known Ark stories. In his ‘The Lost Ark of the Covenant’ book he told us that the ancestors of the Lemba people of South Africa and Zimbabwe carried the Ark away from Jerusalem then hid it in Africa.

King Solomon described in the The Book of Wisdom
During the reign of Solomon, the people of Israel flourished – after defeating their enemies under King David, they dwelt in security and prosperity under Solomon’s wise rule.
Today, we can still learn from Solomon’s wisdom by reading the books of the Bible he wrote, which offer spiritual guidance and encouragement.
After Solomon became king, he was offering sacrifices to God at Gibeon one day when He appeared to him in a dream. He told Solomon that he would be given whatever he asked for, and Solomon responded.
Because of Solomon’s selfless request, God not only gave him the wisdom to govern the people of Israel, but He also blessed him with riches, glory, and long life.
Solomon also called Jedidiah, was a monarch of ancient Israel and the son and successor of David, according to the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament.
In the Quran, he is considered to be a major Islamic prophet and is generally referred to as Sulaiman ibn Dawud. He is described as having been the penultimate ruler of an amalgamated Israel and Judah.
All Prophets (NOAH, ABRAHAM, MOSES, JESUS & MUHAMMAD) were chosen by God as the best examples of humanity. All Prophets were instructed to preach one message: WORSHIP GOD ALONE AND DO NOT ASSOCIATE PARTNERS WITH HIM.
The hypothesized dates of Solomon’s reign are 970–931 BCE. After his death, his son and successor Rehoboam would adopt harsh policy towards the northern tribes.
This eventually lead to the splitting of the Israelite’s between the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. Following the split, his patrimonial descendants ruled over Judah alone.
The Bible says Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem, dedicating the temple to Yahweh, or God in Judaism.
Solomon is portrayed as wealthy, wise and powerful, and as one of the 48 Jewish prophets. He is also the subject of many later references and legends, most notably in the Testament of Solomon (part of first-century biblical apocrypha).
In the New Testament, he is portrayed as a teacher of wisdom excelled by Jesus of Nazareth, and as arrayed in glory but excelled by the lilies of the field.
In mostly non-biblical circles, Solomon also came to be known as a magician and an exorcist, with numerous amulets and medallion seals dating from the Hellenistic period invoking his name.
The life of Solomon is primarily described in 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles. His two names mean peaceful and friend of God, both considered predictive of the character of his reign.
Solomon was born in Jerusalem, the second born child of David and his wife Bathsheba (widow of Uriah the Hittite).
Following God’s appearance to Solomon, two women came to him concerning a baby whom they both claimed was their own.
According to the first woman, her baby was taken by the second woman after she discovered her own infant was dead. The second woman claimed the first woman was crazy.
Upon hearing their accounts, Solomon proposed to cut the baby in two and give them each a half. Immediately, the true mother of the infant begged for Solomon to let the child live with the other woman, while the false mother agreed with Solomon’s proposal.
Knowing that the true mother would rather have her baby protected under any circumstances, he gave the child to its true mother. This incident established Solomon’s reputation for judging with wisdom
Known for his contributions to the Bible, Solomon is credited with writing Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. Song of Songs is renowned for its beautiful depiction of devoted love and is traditionally believed to be written by Solomon in his youth.
Proverbs is full of guidance for living, encouraging the pursuit of wisdom; and Ecclesiastes provides insight into the meaning of life when much of what we do seems futile, directing the reader to trust in God rather than temporal knowledge.
Each of these books displays the wisdom that God gave Solomon, emphasizing the importance of fearing the Lord and seeking the wisdom that comes from Him. As he wrote in Proverbs 2:4-7:
Despite being blessed with wisdom, Solomon would ultimately be led astray in his own life – stay tuned for Part II of this series on Solomon to read about his work to build the temple and how he ultimately fell into folly.
*************************** Bible Controversy ****************************
At the beginning of the tenth century BC, Hebrew nomads were already settled in Canaan. The certainty that they actually lived in Egypt and then returned to the land of Canaan has no historical proof or records outside the Old Testament.
The story in the Bible of the Hebrews defeating the local Canaanites and settling in the area is clearly untrue. Without the Lebanese, Israel would have never dreamed of having Solomon’s Temple.
There are evidence that the Hebrews indeed lived in the central hill country and a few places near the Jordan River valley.
Trying to hold their own against other Canaanites and the powerful Philistines, some of which had chariots and warriors armed with iron weapons against which few could stand.
Wishing to offer a temple to his God, King David had contacted King Hiram of Tyre for the preparations of this construction.
As per the Hebrews self-admission in the Old Testament, without the Lebanese artisans, architects, craftsmen and builders, and without the building material from Lebanon especially wood and precious metals, the Holy Temple would have never seen the light of day
King David and King Solomon probably did exist. However, the latter could not be the builder of a great temple for the Jewish god. Even the Bible tells us something very different.
The Bible tells us that King Solomon did not worship only Yahweh but many other gods. Thus monotheism was not the common ideology even in the time of King Solomon. In his time Yahweh, so it seems, was one god among many.
