🇳🇱 Dutch Civil Servant Faces Backlash Over Controversial Social Media Post About Farmers

AMSTERDAM — Brechtje Paardekooper, a Dutch civil servant and former local politician, has come under intense scrutiny following a controversial post regarding farmers on the social media platform Bluesky.

Paardekooper, who previously served as a Utrecht city councillor for the green-left party GroenLinks, was responding to a post that cited a purported old Frisian proverb: "In goeie boer is in deade boer" ("A good farmer is a dead farmer"). The original author claimed the phrase remains "still relevant today."

In her response, Paardekooper wrote: "In my increasingly frequent spells of helpless rage over the horrific damage caused by farmers, I think this too!"

The comment has sparked widespread condemnation across Dutch political circles and social media, raising questions about the boundaries of public expression for state employees.

Less than three days into taking office, newly inaugurated Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized a sweeping military offensive into rural territories, launching a simultaneous assault on drug cartels and leftist guerrilla factions under a unified "total war" doctrine.
Backed by a fast-tracked $1 billion U.S. security package and inclusion in the Washington-led "Shield of the Americas" alliance, elite military and police battalions have aggressively moved into conflict-heavy regions like Cauca.

The initial wave of rural village raids has already resulted in the neutralization of several armed operatives, including a high-profile FARC dissident commander blamed for retaliatory toll-booth bombings, is the new right-wing administration aggressively dismantles jungle cocaine laboratories and strips away the financial and territorial infrastructure of what it classifies as
"narco-terrorism"

“Israel will find in Colombia a friend and a determined ally in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.”

Same hatred, dressed in new words - resistance, apartheid, genocide. Everywhere it took hold, Jews were forced out.-Einat Wilf, Former Member of Knesset, Chair of Oz party, on GB News

A horrified Yezidi man, who became a refugee in Germany and loves Israel, sent me this: October 7 glorified on a jersey in Amsterdam.

Not all immigrants and refugees are dangerous. Not all of them are Islamists.
Many fled Islamists themselves — like the man who sent me this — and now they're paying a double price for western naivety.

We warn you about political Islam because we know what we're talking about. And no, you don't know better because you visited Syria in the 60s, or went on holiday twice to Egypt, or read one book and cracked the codes of the petro-dollar empire, or hold a PhD in conspiracy theories, or because Candace Owens told you Israel financed al-Q@eda.

October 7 kicked off a war by Islamists against Judeo-Christian values. Criticize those values all you want, but you know damn well they beat the Taliban's, or any communist utopia you fetishize.

The Palestinian cause is a Trojan horse.
The misery of every child in Gaza is imposed by the leaders of the anti-west camp, and weaponized to erode western civilization.

If I had a magic wand, I'd send everyone who glorified October 7 to live one year under the mercy of the IRGC, by their moral code. I'd swap you in a heartbeat for every beautiful Iranian who faced their guns bare-chested.
