Blog postPersonally I don't believe in most conspiracy theories. However I dó believe there are conspiracies. And lots of them too. Where ever there are groups of people, people bond to form a block agains other (groups of) people. It's simply the nature of things. Here's one I made up that could explain a lot: What if big oil companies and people in high places in governments conspire to pollute the air

Blog postWhat if then president Obama had told the CIA they are just a bunch of Nazi's? And when literally confronted with the highest ranking people in the intelligence agency a few days later simply state: 'When I said that, I meant the complete opposite. Of course!' I think Donald Trump would have said some harsh words directed at Barack Obama. What do you think? Do you - like Trump's son Eric - that

Blog postWhen a Muslim conducts a terrorist act that is proof all Muslims are basically terrorists! Right? No. Wrong. Very wrong. When a man killed five people at an Orlando airport a lot of people simply assumed it was a Muslim terrorist attack. When it became clear the killer was not a Muslim he suddenly turned into 'a troubled young man'. Same thing in Melbourne when a man drove his car deliberately

Blog postRules should apply to everyone and always! Yes? Apparently not. Most people can't get away with stealing 100 dollars. Yet others easily get away with stealing millions. It's illegal to kill an other person. Let alone if that person is unarmed and severely wounded. Unless the one pulling the trigger is an Israeli soldier (click) and the victim is a Palestinian who minutes before stabbed an Israeli

Blog postWith all the negativity going around it's sometimes hard to see there's a lot of great people out there, doing their utmost to make other people's lives less hard. The invention of Loopwheels is just one example but for those who are willing to see it there's a lot more good news out there. Do you know of something worth the mention? Let me know in the comments section! =====================

Blog postIt's hard to make people understand what I mean by 'Is it okay to take away freedom in order to preserve freedom?' and 'If we're serious about having freedom, why do we take it for granted our freedom is being taken away from us and we applaud the people who do that?' So I've come up with these (click to enlarge) so called 'Lolcats': So what do you think? Are you truly free?

Blog postI'm sorry to bring this to you but not all you belief is actually true. No, I'm not writing about the stuff Donald Trump and his supporters want you to belief all this made up stuff about Democrats, Communists, Witches, Muslims, Aliens and Foreigners. No, this is about the stuff you think you learned at school. So, who REALLy made the first American flag? (And more truths) Please educate

Blog postPeople are starving. And that's a bad thing. There's more than enough food to feed every single person on this planet. And that's a good thing. People can't afford to buy food and therefore starve to death. And that's a bad thing. The good thing is that something can be done about that. The bad thing is that apparently ALL governments prefer to spend money on weapons in stead of on people. As The

Blog postWhy is it so funny to make fun of another person's handicap? It is usually done by bullies. Like Donald Trump. Remember this? Now, Donald Trump is known for making fun of people. Like people who think he is serving their best interests. A close friend of his is former UKIP frontman Nigel Farage. Here they are standing in front of golden doors. Just before stating they want to tax millionairs

Blog postEvery year around 98,000 people die of medical mistakes that could be easily prevented. In America alone! So forget terrorists. When it comes down to killing civilians doctors and nurses do a much better job. Thing is - although some find it hard to believe - doctors and nurses are people. People get tired, cranky, distracted. In short: people make mistakes. Wouldn't it be great if people

Blog post'NATO is obsolete!' 'NATO is NOT obsolete!' 'Let's keep Assad!' 'Let's oust Assad!' 'Russia is our ally!' 'Russia is our biggest threat!' 'We should invade Syria!' 'We should NOT invade Syria!' It's really hard to understand what president Trump wants or means. Mainly because he keeps twisting and turning his opinions. Sometimes there are less than a few days between one opinion and the complete

Blog postNew technology puts people out of work. That's not something new. When people started driving cars it put carriage manufacturers out of business. Some went into the business of building car parts. Others simply moved on to new jobs. Or stayed unemployed for the rest of their lives. Even newer technology will put even more people out of a job. That can not be stopped but is simply a reality. New

Blog postThere are times when it does not look or feel that way but there really is a lot of positive stuff going around in the world! Yes, we're all people. No, we're not all the same. Some people show this concept in a perfect way: And what happens when people give the good example? Others follow! Want to read (more of) my short stories?

Blog postYou know something is a fact because you just know it's true, right? On top of that: you read it on Facebook ánd it was on Fox. So, if the media confirm your believes they just have to be true! If a thousand people say something, but science proves otherwise, some believe it's science that must be wrong. But point is: there is no such thing as 'the media'. I'm sure you love your friends and

Blog postWhile Picasso was living in Nazi-occupied Paris during World War II, one German officer allegedly asked him, upon seeing a photo of Guernica in his apartment, "Did you do that?" Picasso responded, "No, you did." Which brings me to the point: why do people hurt other people? Especially since they know nobody wants to get hurt. A lot of people (especially men) are afraid to show their emotions.

Blog postWith all turmoil going on in the world and in our personal lives, it's a relief to see there's still a lot of good going on. Take Puddles for instance, with his sad kind of humour. I love it! And a whole lot of people are apparently so very bored that they don't only have time to read this blogpost but also stories like: 'Is this photo proof of a soul rising up from a dead body? (click) Is it

Blog postThere are women in the world. There are muslims in the world. Handicapped, jews, buddhists, beliebers, petrolheads, idiots, musiclovers, skinheads, democrats, scientists...all labels. And often confusing: that female handicapped black senator, do we call her a women, a negro, handicapped, politician? If I may suggest - and if you agree - how about making it easier for all of us ánd end racism

Blog postIt seriously looks like the so called 'Brexit' will turn out to be a disaster. Thousands of Brits will loose there jobs and prices of every day products will rise. 95% Of British farmers see other EU countries as their main source of income. Import tarrifs will rise and food (and cars, et cetera) produced in the UK will be subject to more checks before they are allowed to enter the common

Blog postIt was late. Too late to catch a tram. And too cold really to be waiting at some stop for the night bus. But considering his failing motor skills due to excessive alcohol use he decided not to walk. At the next stop she got on, a few years after he last saw her. She noticed him right after showing the driver her bus card and walked towards him as fast as was ladylike. Before she properly sat

Blog postIn the light of more or less recent events it's nice to see people haven't lost their sense of humour. And can still see things in perspective: we've never had so few violent conflicts in the entire history of the planet as we've had in het past few decades. It just seems a lot because news nowedays travels at the speed of a fast modem. Especially when trouble is far away most people can't do a

Blog postThe Europarliament is a democratic body so as a member of European Parliament (MEP) you can say what you like, when you like, to whom you like. Simply because you have freedom of speech. Right? Wrong! In a civilised society you should behave accordingly. Especially as a representitive of the people. That's why 'the EU' sanctioned Polish MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke. He crossed the line of decency.

Blog postCivilians - including women and children - , living in the provence of Idlib, Syria were recently killed with poisoned gass. According to president Assad and his friend Putin of Russia, the attack was executed by rebels pretending to be soldiers from Assad's army and they bombed their own hideouts to make Assad look bad in the eyes of the world. Somehow I find that hard to believe. It's easier

Blog post'Trump is right! Immigrants are to blame!' -'What's the definition of 'immigrant'?' 'An immigrant is someone who is of foreign descent.' -'So you are an immigrant?' 'No.' -'But you are from foreign descent?' 'Yes.' -'So according to your own definition you are an immigrant.' 'Maybe so, but my ancestors and me worked really hard so we are true Americans.' -'So foreigners who work hard are not

Blog postIn the past eight years we saw the rise of Obama and the smartphone. Which of the two had a bigger impact on your life today? Yes, the smartphone. Who gave rise to the immense popularity of the smartphone? Steve Jobs (click). A man who was the son of a Middle Eastern Muslim immigrant from Homs, Syria. That's right: without immigrants you would not be able to complain about immigrants via your

Blog post'How do you know?' -'Well, I read it in a book by this scientist called Dan Brown.' -'Dan Brown is an author of fiction who happens to have some scientific knowledge.' 'Yes, I know. But I still know it's true because i read it myself!' We believe what we want to believe. That's normal. Human beings find it almost impossible to believe something they never believed before.
