History Revised: How Facebook was invented

 

How do you say "Facebook" in sign language?

Watch this video on Dutch sign language and see if you can also detect a hint of prejudice in there too.

Retired Dutch politician tells Jews in the Netherlands to migrate to Israel and USA to avoid Moroccans

Former European Commissioner Frits Bolkestein, who is often cited by Geert Wilders as his biggest hero and mentor, has suddenly reappeared out of obscurity, only to feed the growing hatred towards Moroccans in The Netherlands and crank up the already heightened level of fear among Jews a few notches higher. 

His outrageous statement calling on practicing Jews to migrate to Israel and the USA - citing the growing antisemitism among Dutch-Moroccans as the reason - has caused an uproar among his former colleagues in parliament and ticked off some prominent members of the Jewish community as well.  Oddly enough even Geert Wilders disagreed with Bolkestein on this one, saying that it's Mococcans who are guilty of antisemitism who should migrate and not the Jews.

 

Meanwhile, Geert Wilders himself was busy making his own outrageous statements while on an official visit in Israel recently, saying that Jordan should absorb Palestinian refugees and rename itself Palestine.  In addition to that, he urged Israel to build more settlements in "Judea and Samaria", aka the West Bank, as a strategic move towards self-defense, and it's not the first time he's said such either.

 

All I can say about this insanely fascist conduct by Dutch politicians, who seem to be going out of their way to cause strife...that it ultimately boils down to the Dutch government's need to grow a spine, enforce its existing laws against hate speech and discrimination and start putting national interest and domestic stability first and foremost.  Enough already!

Amsterdam's International Institute for Social History Celebrates 75th Anniversary

The institute collects and preserves historic materials on social movements from around the world, including modern day history.  I wonder if Obama's "Hope & Change" gets any special mention, considering the tremendous impact it's been having on a global scale. :::winks:::

Possible proof that Geert Wilders might be MENTAL on top of everything else

One of the hottest topics in Dutch news today:

An online vendor sells this T-shirt, using Theo van Gogh's image to help raise funds for Geert Wilders.

Geert Wilders party website links to it to help maximize sales.

Then Theo van Gogh's family gets upset with Geert Wilders for exploiting the tragic loss of their loved one for profit.

Geert Wilders then has the link removed from his party website.

Some people seem amused by it all and others react with disgust.

But business still continues as usual....

The ADL, various Dutch MPs and special interest groups all tried but failed to stop Fascist Dictator Geert Wilders from giving his 9/11 speech at Ground Zero

In an interview with Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, Anti-Defamation League spokesperson Oren Segal said:

"In our opinion it would be in very bad taste if someone with Wilders' reputation comes to speak in New York to spread his message of intolerance and hatred, especially on September 11.

Mr Segal also said that "it's a flagrant violation of freedom of religion, which is one of the founding principles of this country, and the "Stop the Islamization of America" organization that invited Wilders to speak is misusing concerns about Muslim extremism to spread more intolerance".

Meanwhile, Geert Wilders still insists that his Gound Zero show must go on and has also added an interview with David Letterman to his NY 9/11 itinerary.

And in Dutch news today all the buzz is about "Wilders the Movie", a VPRO documentary about Geert Wilders' life, which originally included an anonymous source sharing rumors about Wilders' sex-life and frequent use of prostitutes, but the segment was forced to be edited out before the show airs in Holland on Sunday September 12th. 

See YouTube trailer where said "rumors" remain unedited:

Also today, Geert Wilders was officially notified that he's expected to stand trial for incitement to hatred and hate speech charges on October 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 19, after which the verdict will be announced on November 2, which also happens to be the Anniversary of Theo van Gogh's murder by Muslim extremist Mohamed Bouyeri.  Needless to say, Wilders is not too happy about this and he's already complaining about an "unfair trial", because he was only granted 3 witnesses by the court, instead of 18 witnesses and experts as he requested.

I'm afraid this is not going to end well, no matter how you look at it.  It's going to get plain old ugly before it gets any better, simply because Geert Wilders serves a higher purpose (.....fill in the dots) that seems to be beyond the reach of any democratic process.  But who knows, maybe the justice system will prevail.

The fact still remains that Geert Wilders is not only the fascist leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, but also its sole member - who is bent on driving his self-made fascist apparatus on pure hatred and chauvinistic intolerance towards immigrants, especially Moroccans and Muslims.  He insists on retaining absolute dictatorial control and continues to call all the shots, despite persistent pressure from his following, asking him to allow others to become members of his party as well, as it is standard practice in the democratic process.

Why is a 2 year old death threat to Geert Wilders released today?

Why is this headline news?

And why is Geert Wilders shocked to learn about this death threat today instead of 2 years ago?

Is this merely an attempt by the Dutch authorities to intimidate Geert Wilders, considering that all other attempts to stop him from holding a speech at Ground Zero on 9/11 have failed?

Or is this just a way for the Dutch authorities to jump on "the new and improved war on Islam" bandwagon that's taking the world by a storm since the Ground Zero mosquerade?

I hope there is a good reason for this, because none of this makes sense to me anymore.

Wilders publicly condoned race riots in 2004, yet he's allowed to use hate speech at Ground Zero on 9/11 against Muslims & @Park51 mosque

How is this possible?

The Dutch ungoverment continues to fool around - 2-1/2 months after the elections - while being hopelessly indecisive about the formation of a new parliament that includes one of our time's biggest dictators.

People of the free world, is this what we really want?

Former Euro-parliamentarian Arie Oostlander tells AD.nl: 'Wilders behaves like Karadzic':

They both use the same methods.  They rile people up against each other with fear-mongering and others will see this as a way to legitimize violence.  That was the case in Bosnia and can do the same with us.  Civilization is but a thin layer. 

Bosnia was, just like The Netherlands, known for its tolerance for centuries.  And Look What happened. No wonder all major European countries are seriously concerned about the formation in the Netherlands.

Oostlander refers to an interview from 2004 where Wilders said that "racial riots are not necessarily a bad thing, because they can be a wake-up call to The Netherlands".

That is such a sick thought.

Wilders latest appearance professing hate speech against Muslims on Australian TV:

Pick of the day: Wilders down under | Radio Netherlands Worldwide

Watch the entire segment here: SBS Dateline | Mr Controversial

Via Telegraaf, Wilders points out that his interview on Australian TV was done before the elections and is basically old news by now, but his ideas still remain the same: "our culture is better than the retarded Islamic culture"

Geert Wilders will import his hate speech to America on 9/11 regardless of what anyone says

Dutch politician Geert Wilders says he doesn't care what anyone says, he will do what he feels like and he feels pretty good about flying to New York to give a speech at Ground Zero on September 11th, where a protest will be held against the planned construction of the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque".  

He says: "It's an important speech, no one can stop me. I'm the one who decides what I can or can't do.....No mosque at Ground Zero!  Everyone knows what the Party Of Freedom stands for." Via Telegraaf.nl

Mr Wilders has been invited by the anti-Muslim hate group Stop Islamization of America.

Makes me wanna cry...

At least one Moroccan in Holland volunteers to leave the country, which he says he loves so much that he's willing to disappear for at least a year to help contribute to solving the Moroccan problem in Holland.

He's inviting people to vote him out of the country here

I'm not sure what to think of it.  Is this really a good way to solve problems?  Isn't this an easy cop out, which in the end makes everyone look bad?  What if this is just a promotional stunt to get him a free trip to a dream resort?  I have mixed emotions over this.....
