Nederlandse overheid hypocrisie op vandaag – Ik heb er twee: De Surinaams verkiezingen en de strafregister van Desi Bouterse.
EN – vrijheid van het Internet is niet voor iedereen – alleen Iraniërs en Chinezen. Zo – in de toekomst Amerikaans Internet gebruikers zullen naar de gevangenis zetten.
With the SWIFT Agreement passed by MEPs and the US Supreme Court ruling could now see human rights activists investigated by the European Union and prosecuted by the US for “aiding terrorism” – Will the European Union now find itself aiding the US in the prosecution of human rights activists? The potential embarrassment this Agreement could pose to the European Union could even undermine its foreign policy and place on the world stage.
This Author’s long-awaited day when the cruelty and inhumanity of America’s prisons and jails comes under much needed international and European scrutiny has arrived! The ECtHR has put a stop on the extradition of four “terror suspects” until the question into their conditions of confinement in the ADX Florence “supermax” prison is examined. The question is if America’s Eighth Amendment and the current case law with it meet the same conditions as Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights. It is my view that American law falls far short of the higher European standards with emphasis on human rights and human dignity. It is also time to tear down the supermaxes!
Well – OHHHH YEAH!
It is hoped that the major parties can see that the freedom and liberties of of all, including Muslims, is a very important part of Dutch national identity and excluding the PVV will serve to preserve it. I restate my call for the Netherlands to rediscover its history and national character grounded in being a beacon of religious freedom and human rights! While the gains by Wilders is nothing but a protest vote – the Netherlands needs to do what Job Cohen states: Rebuild a society of civility and inclusiveness for all who live in the Netherlands – along with a deep respect for freedom, including religious freedom.
When I take my trip back to the Netherlands next year, will I, too, be profiled? Travel freedom depends on saying “no” to more efforts to profile people…and saying “no”for more data intrusions to Mr. Biden is also in order.
Well – Wilders is in politics for himself – and for his American conservative follower. If the Dutch actually install Wilders as their next prime minister – they will get a tsunami of American Conservatives, the most nasty bunch of riff-raff on Planet Earth!
There are better ways to take on racist and Islamophobia morons of the Swiss People’s Party. Pitting the European Union in the side of the Bigots in Berne is not smart, but what is really dumb are counterproductive “calls for jihad.”
One country that is deserving of EU membership is Serbia. First the efforts that the European Union poured into to opposition against Milosevic in the October 2000 elections could have been the real blow that removed Europe’s last dictator from office. Since then, Serbs have been loyal to the idea of a “European Serbia” – but this support was dependent upon the EU maintaining a commitment to the country and its fledgling democracy. In truth, Serbia should have had its accession treaty at least two years ago
The idea that Europe should have “its place in the world” has been all talk, no action. The creation of a European president and foreign minister that represents the Union will help get the Union off of its duff. It will get the Union off of its duff without endangering national identities and sovereignty of the Member States. It is one thing to talk about promoting European values, and the like, on the international stage, but it’s quite another to actually do so.
