Stacy Summary: It’s funny how hard most of the Americans there totally defend oligarchy whether copyright, financial or insurance. But check it out . . . Ma’x's latest Huffington Post blog.
The website Mininova, one of the freedom fighters for free speech and innovation in the land of permissiveness, progressive politics and tolerance — the Netherlands — is getting harassed by a scared Dutch government kowtowing to the post 9-11 civil- and human-rights-infringing, copyright-cartel lobbyists in Washington and Hollywood.

The Netherlands is a conservative business oriented country that has this false aura of progressiveness due to its supposedly ‘liberal’ drug policy. It’s a myth, it is just another US puppet state slowly turning back time under the decades old yoke of a Christian taliban. What seems progressive is just policy convenient enough to deal with overpopulation stress and paid for by a giant natural gas bubble.

FDIC May Need To Ask For More Money For Only Second Time In History
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/26/as-fdics-funds-dwindle-re_n_269820.html
You gotto know that our gov. never helped us. During WOII the Dutch gov. was dispised which gave room to Queen Wilhelmina to become a war hero as the voice of the resistance trough BBC broadcast from England.
If we take a flight all the passengerslist are directly send through to the US. The country is crawling with American mafia DEA, CIA buggers.
Our Premier acts like a little boy from the Harry Potter movies and the country is ruled by lobyist who get everything done here since the MPs are to stupid to think for themselves. One of our MPs was even refused to enter England, no big deal we go on sucking our thumbs.
The MSM is a laughing stock in it’s own right. Donald Duck contains more profanity. Dutch are so proud of being cool, businesslike, sober but that also means they stay sober even when they get raped. Dutch heros can be counted on one hand in 400 years of history.
Holland is the 52 state of the US or at least the gov. thinks we are. They haven’t the slightest idea what is going on in the US right now.
@Rasta
Thanks for the link! Can you believe that the FDIC doesn’t ask for some help from the Tarp banks set to dole out bogus bonuses for their execs:
“Either lifeline for the FDIC carries risks. Borrowing from the Treasury could be seen as another taxpayer bailout. But charging more in premiums would shrink profits at healthy banks, squeeze troubled ones and make lending even tighter.
“The more you levy these assessments on banks, the less money they have to lend to the general population,” said Camden Fine, president of the Independent Community Bankers of America, an industry group that represents 5,000 banks.”

Hey Stacy bet a lot of hopefuls on this site are watching the title to the Huffy post hoping it is a Freudian slip. Say it out loud with a southern drawl – faithful to typo. You’ll get the picture.
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum or should that be a big fat scoobie in honor of our next emerging kleptocracy. Once we just pleaded to be left alone in our living room….soon we will be pleading to be left alone in our heads. Got to love a conspiracy to steal the human soul. Thanks for your work.
In the immortal words of Max bye y’all!
Here’s a angle that nobody seems to have covered.
Lots of neocon nutcases are getting recruited to disrupt “town hall meetings” with RNC-appoved propaganda. Not wanting to piss off their anti-single-payer-lobby clients, the MSM is more than happy to destroy this (while trying to maintain their “journalistic objectivity.”). These idiots get endless amounts of soundbites, which is only making it worse. Then again, there’s no Fairness Doctrine anymore. So who’s going to stop them?
On the other hand, if somebody protests against torture (which is still going on in the States), what happens?:
They get tasered, beat up by the cops. Arrested and held with no charges for as long as possible. Then, suddenly they’re labeled as “potential terrorists.” And, they’ve been under illegal surveillance for who knows how long.
Obama puts a war criminal in charge of troops in Afghanistan. Other war criminals are running around, teaching at U.C. Berkeley. And getting rich on the lecture circuit.
Many “economic advisors” around Obama are responsible for the Global Depression.
And now, pretty soon Max and Staci will be speaking Russian.
What’s the world coming too???

Police said that about 2:20 a.m., 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, now in custody, and an at-large accomplice took a hammer to the picture windows displaying posters touting President Barack Obama and his health care reform efforts.
Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver’s art district was a consequence of “an effort on the other side to stir up hate.” She tempered her statement after Schwenkler’s political history was revealed.

This week, the latest counterinsurgency guidance for the American and international units fighting the Afghan war was released by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, who commands the International Security Assistance Force.
The seven-page document, as might be expected, contains little new to anyone who has followed the rise of counterinsurgency thinking within the American military after fighting intensified in post-invasion Iraq. The mission, the commander says, is to protect the Afghans. The war will be won not by destroying the enemy, but by persuading the people. The international forces will have succeeded when the government of Afghanistan is supported by the population.

PERSUASION?
Take away the military’s guns and it would be persuasion. Coercion involves force.

he smelt revolution in the air I guess
here is link:
the NY Times quote on Geert Wilders summed him up perfectly for me:
“for a man who calls for a ban on the Koran to act as the champion of free speech is a bit rich”.
How is it that so many Dutch seem to agree with this creep?
@BondiBhoy
That freedom of speech line should be read as ‘Why are things complicated, I don’t care so let this Wilders guy shut up!’. What Wilders is rallying against is the loss of freedom in society due to intolerance motivated by the Koran. Now many left oriented people will object, saying (especially dutch) society is tolerant and we have freedom of religion, but those people don’t recognize some of the muslims use that freedom to suppress others (the women mostly) in a way they would themselves never accept. So the rejection of Wilders is a lack of willingness to face/understand/do anything about the threath islam poses to a free society. It is not an intolerant position, it is simply a position that puts the rule of existing law before the dictates of any sacred text. Common law is a product of endless deliberation over centruries on how to create a just society, that can not be replaced by an inert creation of one individual living in ‘taliban’ times…
MotherEarth
It’s not so much what he says but why he says it. What is his agenda? He is strongly pro-Israel and I believe that he deliberately sets out to provoke Muslims within the NL & elsewhere in Europe. He is not merely highlighting intolerant aspects of Islam (which I would agree with him on). He is pushing forward this fringe view in Europe that the continent is being swamped & that European values (or similar) are being eroded by the spread of Islam. I fail to see how a tiny minority (5% of NL are Muslims) could ever force their beliefs on to the 80% white, secular/Christian Dutch majority. And even Wilders himself has said that only between 5-15% of Muslims are of the fundamentalist kind. His whole spiel just smacks of picking on a relatively defenceless segment of society & it’s easy because yes, Muslims do have a markedly different culture. I say let him spout his rubbish wherever he wants to. He loves being a martyr to his fans.
I live in the Netherlands – the people are beyond pathetic. There’s zero political activism, they have these silly commercials on day and night always with some childish tune or another (in fact, most of the programming seems to be targeted at five year olds), and the people all seem to be under the impression they are ‘free’ and oh so ‘intelligent’. In The Netherlands, it’s seen as a sign of intelligence to knowtow to the government – you are seen as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ if you talk of the NSA or the AIVD reading your mail – and even when you get them to admit they do, they shrug it off and say ‘So what?’ Note that they also seem to have this infatuation with the House Of Orange – they also seem to be under the impression that the stooge that gets (s)elected for Prime MInister, Mr. Balkenende, really runs the government (LOL).
Notice in The Netherlands – the country where you can smoke weed and have sex with prostitutes in the Red Light District – I can’t put up a POLITICAL PAMPHLET on a wall without first asking for consent from a government agency. That’s how borderline pathetic this country has become – they give you the right to get high, but they take away the really crucial stuff that ought to be a basic right.
The Netherlands is Brave New World 1.0 – version 2.0 is coming soon to an America near you.
Now I know why I was thrown off of Huffington Post twice. One of their ‘writers’ said today on a blog that 911Truthers were the equivalent of the birthers on the Right. this is disgusting. The amount of denial invested in avoiding this issue is unbeleivable especially when one even casually regards the evidence. Huffington is a garbage heap anyway of infotainment and celebrity drivel. I am amazed they allow Max to write on their site.
