Re: UN Founding Principles (none / 1)

I have met a number of bloggers from ET in the past and a few American friends from the early years at the Pond ... BooMan Tribune ...

Most amazing was a meetup with an American couple who at the last moment notified me they were African Americans if I didn't mind ... still puzzles me.

From ET Bjinse - Sven Triloqvist and ET Meetup in heart of Amsterdam a long time ago.

In all instances there had been online exchange of views over many months and these persons were not strangers to me.

Personally Marlot is a bit isolated, too close to the Auto Museum, Royal Palace and the US Embassy 😉

We have a Landgoed Oosterbeek nearby behind the former Dutch Defense bunker and Prinses Julianakazerne and the mansion of Seyss-Inquart (renamed Huize Clingendael). Nearby some nice shopping and restaurants in het Benoordenhout. Short distance from het Haagse Bos, launching site of Wernher von Braun's developed V-2 rockets targeting London.

Plenty of recent and ancient history ... fortunately there is no intense hate for the Germans anymore and there is close cooperation within NATO to punish aggressor Russia for its unprovoked attack [war narrative from Stoltenberg and Washington DC think tanks like Atlantic Council ... so much wisdom 🤥]. #stopwarnow #stopnato

Re: UN Founding Principles (4.00 / 2)

I am all for organizing a protest in Clingendael. Who knows, maybe the ducks would join.

Not only ducks but geese and elegant swans. A blooming spring with vast shrubs of rhododendrons and in the month of May, the Japanese Garden ...just beautiful ....

I buy my bottles of honey at the farm house ... only trust local bees 🤣

Re: UN Founding Principles (none / 0)

I can certainly make it to the Voorschoten old man on saturday or sunday... will let you know (I am afraid the protest might be limited to 2 persons and a few ducks, geese and herons, unless you know other Hagenaars).

Re: UN Founding Principles (none / 1)

Please post pictures of the protests. I am all for seeing you guys marching in lock step with some ducks, geese and herons, especially if you get carried away by Rutte's storm troopers, like Greta Thunberg from Lutzerath. We need to liven up this place!

Re: UN Founding Principles (none / 0)

There is even a shaman woman who manages to get close to the swans and feed them as well as the herons who gather around her when they see her coming with her plastic bag. She would be the one to lead the march.
Your friend does not know that his honey is partly made in Voorschoten!

Re: UN Founding Principles (none / 1)

Voorschoten a dangerous place ..
someone placed explosives tied to a speed camera near de Zilverfabriek. The daughter of Putin lived nearby in a penthouse. Travel through Voorschoten quite often, was there yesterday.

On market day do visit sometimes for a cup of cappuccino at the wonderful chocolaterie.

Some decades ago family ties ... uncle as headteacher in primary school, author of books one of which was broadcast on radio as an hoorspel. Was club director of SVLV football club ... Andere Tijden 😄
