✍The world is changing rapidly. Today it was announced that the UAE is leaving OPEC (Oil Producing Countries) after 60 years. Reasons given included: the country, which is also an ally of the United States, had criticized other Arab countries. They allegedly were not doing enough to protect the UAE against the numerous Iranian attacks of recent times. We do not really know if that is the real reason. But the UAE has been hit hard by Iranian drones and missiles. Many foreigners have also left Dubai. American companies, which had a large presence there, have been hit by drones and oil refineries.
Furthermore, a "dispute" with Saudi Arabia is looming; the decision appears to be a heavy blow to the oil hegemony of Saudi Arabia, which holds a leading role in OPEC. But the departure of the UAE represents a major victory for US President Donald Trump, who has accused the organization of "ripping off the rest of the world" by artificially keeping oil prices high. Russia is of course also a member of OPEC, and it is a direct threat from America to Russia as well.
Europe is charting a different course, as many say a "collision course"—everything must be green, windmills and solar energy; while solar energy is the least of the problems for southern countries, it is a major problem for the northern ones in winter. De-industrialization is in full swing, deliberately created for the so-called 4th industrial revolution, everything man-made, of course. We have arrived in the time between two world wars, or perhaps even the time before the First World War. Although the third is actually already in full swing.

My latest article in Dutch, easily to be translated in any language:
Nederlands belastinggeld voor Defensie gaat in rook op.

Uitzonderlijk grote (natuur) brand op het militaire oefenterrein bij ’t Harde in Gelderland als gevolg van een fout van het Ministerie van Defensie – soldaten met explosieven-oefening, foto’s Adobe Stock, Omroep West, Ministerie van Defensie, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

Zo begon de berichtgeving van Omroep West:

“De regio’s Haaglanden en Hollands Midden roepen alle inwoners in onze regio op om deuren en ramen te sluiten en de ventilatie uit te zetten als u last heeft van de rook. De reden hiervoor is een uitzonderlijk grote brand die sinds woensdagmiddag in Gelderland woedt en die tot in Zuid-Holland te zien en te ruiken is.”

Verder meldde ze dat de brand was ontstaan op een militair oefen- en schietterrein in de buurt van ’t Harde, vlakbij Epe in Gelderland (Veluwe). De rook is (terwijl ik dit artikel een dag later schrijf) nog steeds zichtbaar tot in Leiden en Alphen aan den Rijn, en is te ruiken in Den Haag en omgeving. Wat ze echter niet vermelden, is dat de brand zich zelfs tot in Engeland heeft verspreid.

Terwijl Nederlandse burgers compleet gek worden van al het gepraat en propganda over ‘groene energie’, natuurbehoud en vandaag alweer een opruiend artikel over watertekorten – bizar, trouwens, in het waterrijkste land van Europa – dat nota bene onder zeeniveau ligt en waar ingenieur Lely land heeft teruggewonnen uit het water. Maar natuurlijk heeft dat allemaal te maken met die datacenters van Google e.a., die de drijvende kracht achter AI zijn en de absolute grootste water- en energieverbruikers! Die datacentres zijn bovendien slecht voor de natuur, net als defensie, al die wapens en munitie, die, zoals we nu zien, in vlammen opgaan in t’Harde.

Nederlanders trekken al massaal naar het buitenland, omdat de meesten vrezen dat Nederland volkomen onleefbaar zal worden, of in veel gevallen al onleefbaar is. Een politiek systeem dat burgers al jaren geen echte hulp biedt, besluiteloos door de vele partijen en verdeeld door oorlogen. Een nieuwe premier wiens ‘vriend’ graag TikTok-video’s maakt en zelf ook graag vliegt, en die, net als zijn voorgangers, Oekraïne en anti-Russische sentimenten boven binnenlandse zaken stelt en het woord diplomatie als een vies woord beschouwt….

🇷🇺🎙Comment by the Russian Embassy in the Netherlands to RIA Novosti (30 April 2026)

Has the Embassy seen reports about militants from the terrorist organization “Russian Volunteer Corps” (RVC) using weapons supplied by the Netherlands to Ukraine?

🔹 Yes, we are, of course, aware of these reports. We have taken note of the evasive responses from officials in The Hague, seen the photos of "RVC" militants posing with Dutch C7NLD rifles, and observed their use of Nazi salutes.

🔹 The crimes committed by the "RVC" against civilians are well known internationally. Judging by the reaction, however, the Dutch authorities appear to be the only ones unwilling to acknowledge this.

🔹 We have repeatedly warned the Dutch authorities about the risks associated with uncontrolled arms transfers to the Kiev regime, which maintains links with various radical groups. The Embassy has consistently pointed to the danger of such weapons being diverted and falling into the hands of openly neo-Nazi elements.

🔹 The current situation is a direct consequence of the Kingdom’s irresponsible policy. By allowing its weapons, including C7NLD assault rifles, to end up in the possession of individuals who openly glorify Nazi criminals and incite hatred, the Dutch authorities are, in effect, complicit in these crimes.

🔹 The designation of the “Russian Volunteer Corps” as a terrorist organization is well founded: it bears responsibility for war crimes, including the killing of civilians in Russia.

🔹 Claims by the Dutch authorities that they are not involved, based on assurances from Kiev regarding compliance with international law, are unconvincing and appear to be an attempt to avoid responsibility.

🔹 Lame excuses about “end-user certificates” and the “right to self-defence” do not withstand scrutiny when Dutch-supplied weapons are found in the hands of an organization that openly promotes neo-Nazi ideology and carries out terrorist acts.

❗️These developments are, of course, being taken into account by Russia in its military and political planning.

Which war would end first? I don't know. Maybe they're on a similar timetable. I think Ukraine, militarily they're defeated, okay? Militarily. You wouldn't know that by reading the fake news, but militarily, look, their navy... So they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. Typically, that's pretty good. What do you think, Jared? I mean..

Al Gore Shifts On Global Warming: Time To Watch Out For A New Ice Age? | ZeroHedge
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/al-gore-shifts-global-warming-time-watch-out-new-ice-age

Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age.  

✍ Food for thought
Today is May 1st, and many people in various countries have celebrated it or still do. It was and still is celebrated mostly in socialist and communist countries. A tradition. Although I think that during this period, Labor Day, as it is called, should be viewed through a different "lens," since thousands of jobs are disappearing due to AI, as they claim. It should be a day of reflection on the future and work, and citizens should become more active in drawing attention to this. If the work is gone, the revenues of states and countries disappear, and what will the former worker live on then? How will they live, how will they eat and what future do our children have?

A young 14 year boy from Apeldoorn the Netherlands is going on his bike to Russia
Fourteen-year-old Maxim from Apeldoorn has been missing since Saturday, April 18. The teenager may have cycled east, perhaps even to Russia. The search for the boy is currently underway in Poland.
The boy left his home in the Zuidbroek, the Netherlands district by bicycle the police wote. He presumably intends to travel on via Twente to Germany, Poland, and o Russia.

It has already been twelve years today, May 2nd, when the Odessa massacre took place. I was there in 2016 and 2017 to commemorate the victims, but so far, not much has been done to bring the perpetrators to justice.
On May 2nd 2016, I was invited on behalf of the foundation “Mothers for Odessa” to visit Odessa (southern Ukraine) to commemorate the anniversary of the horrific events of May 2, 2014. On the square, in the union house at least 48 civilians were burned alive when they tried to stop the fascists, which are controlled by the current government led by Minister Porochenko, they tried to occupy the building. They threw, then gasoline inside and lit it on, they knew that there were people in the building, which were then burned alive!

The US is going to withdraw 5,000 American soldiers from Germany; fine. Many Germans feel anyway, particularly in former East German states, that Germany is essentially occupied by America. Now just shut down Ramstein, the Drone Center where America, in cooperation with NATO, is responsible for many casualties by dropping drones on Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Middle East, and even Russia. Fine, get lost, America...

Ami go home: Trump zieht 5000 amerikanische Soldaten ab! 👏

Weil sich Donald Trump in seinem Kriegskurs durch die Bundesrepublik nicht ausreichend unterstützt fühlt, zieht der US-Präsident jetzt 5000 Soldaten aus Deutschland ab. Eine bessere "Strafe" können wir uns auf dem Weg zurück zu nationaler Souveränität kaum vorstellen.

Das kann aber nur ein Anfang sein: Die restlichen 30.000 Soldaten, die unser Land besetzt halten und zur Zielscheibe in fremden Kriegen machen, gehören ebenfalls zurück in ihr Land. Ami go home!
