Ahead of the general election the new VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz  commits to a political alliance with extremist rightwing Geert Wilders. He has deep roots in the VVD party at the time of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, but Wilders bolted due to "moderate" policy on immigration, fighting Islamic terror and his anti-Semitic views ... the Palestinians of course.

Dilan and Geert have a meeting of minds in a staunch pro-Israel support without any compassion for the Rights of Palestinians. Fascism has arrived in The Netherlands.

The only hope to avoid a Rutte V extreme right wing cabinet would be her political miscalculation. Inside the electorate of far-right voters, many Geert Wilders sympathizers cast their vote for Mark Rutte to guarantee his majority to lead in forming a next government. That may end for Yesilgöz if a large number of voters can freely cast their vote for the one-man PVV party leader as she promised to look to her right, not to her left.

Racism report Dutch police and ministry of Foreign Affairs

Racism In The Ranks: Dutch Police Film Spurs Conversation | VOA - May 27, 2022 |

A documentary about discrimination within the ranks of Dutch police has sparked a national conversation in the Netherlands about racism, with many officers and others hoping it will finally bring about change.

The Blue Family, or De Blauwe Familie in Dutch, discusses a culture of bullying and fear in the national police force. It premiered on Dutch television Monday, timed around the second anniversary this week of the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police.

"There is no way back," Peris Conrad, one of the officers featured in the film, told The Associated Press.

Born in the former Dutch colony Surinam, Conrad dreamed of being a police officer as a child. He moved to the Netherlands when he was 4 years old, and after a stint in the military, became a security guard.

While in that job, he had an encounter with police officers who were looking for information about crime in the Surinamese community. The officers encouraged him to join the force himself, which he did, ultimately spending 26 years in service.

But Conrad, who is Black, recalled how in his first year at the police academy, colleagues hung a picture of him with cell bars drawn on it. The caption read: "Our monkey in a cage."

Police leaders received an early showing of the film and promised action.

Wat een leider.
Wat een staatsman.
Maar bovenal, wat een mooi mens. Die zich dag en nacht, met hart en ziel, uit de naad heeft gewerkt voor Nederland.

Mark, je bent onlosmakelijk verbonden aan de geschiedenis van ons land. Dank je wel ♥️

"YES SHE CAN"

VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz won't rule out working with Wilders

VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz has told reporters she will not automatically rule out an alliance with the far-right PVV, saying that she first wants to see "what Mr Wilders comes up with".

Party leader Geert Wilders said after the cabinet collapsed in July that he could work with the VVD and that it is `time to put egos behind us'.

Wilders was a silent partner in Mark Rutte's first cabinet but pulled out, leading to the collapse of the minority coalition. And Rutte has been adamant that his party will not work with the PVV since Wilders led supporters in a chat of "fewer Moroccans" during an election meeting in 2017.

Yesilgöz, the current justice minister, told reporters that she did not want to keep the door shut as a matter of course. "I am more interested in who will be at the [negotiations] table and with what intentions," she said.

The "fewer Moroccans" chant was disgusting, she said. "But I want to look ahead," the minister said, ahead of Friday's cabinet meeting.

Prime minister Mark Rutte told reporters after that meeting that he fully supported Yesilgöz's line but that he would not comment in detail.

The new leader of the Christian Democrats, Henri Bontenbal, has said his party will not join a coalition with the PVV or the far-right FvD.

Translation:
A VVD member of Turkish origin at Justice. And now let's hope she doesn't lift my security detail because of course they prefer to see me disappear under the grass. [in a grave]

So Dilan Yesilgöz has proven she is willing to appease fascism.

Serhii Datsyuk: Ukrainization and the solution of the Russian question | Sept. 15, 2017 |

The latest decisions of the authorities indicate the complete absence of at least any strategy for Ukrainization and a solution to the Russian question. The absence of a Ukrainization strategy and at least some scenarios for solving the Russian question today are critical both with regard to Ukraine's former colonial past as part of Russia's geopolitical space, and with regard to Russia's current war against Ukraine.

So, two questions as one sound like this: how can we achieve Ukrainization in Ukraine and at the same time what should we do with Russian citizens-Ukraine? The first part is a Ukrainian issue, the second part is a Russian issue.

In other words, it is impossible to solve the Ukrainian problem without solving the Russian problem in the coming decades.

Exposure of insufficient Ukrainization in Ukraine

Terrible, dangerous and scandalous things are happening in Ukraine now.
Ukraine's new law on education caused an international scandal. At the same time, against the background of this process, the online publication"Zbruch" offered its way of Ukrainization .

A very controversial process was started in this publication by well-known Ukrainian writers - Andruhovych, Prokhasko and Vynnychuk.

First, Yuriy Andruhovych questioned the main public and official guideline of the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014, "One Country." His article was called ironically "United country". It called into question the mentioned main instruction on the unity of the country and actually laid the foundations of national discord between Ukrainians and Russians in the form of, as it came to be called, "regional racism." Although it can also be called Galician separatism with a clear orientation towards the GNR (Galician People's Republic).

Eastern Ukrainian philologist Ivanna Skyba-Yakubova was very critical of Andruhovych's position with the article "Enough missionary postures, or there are no cynocephalians living in the East". Yurii Andruhovich did not want to understand the criticism, nor to somehow reflect on the essence of his position, and gave an answer to the answer - Humiliated and insulted, or Humiliated and offended". In it, he again insisted on his right to separate assessments, but did not say the main thing - whether he is really for a single country, or whether he is for the East of Ukraine separately from the West of Ukraine.

More to come. There, Taras Prokhasko resorted to Freudian generalizations in "Zbrucha" in his article "Do you sleep in Ukrainian"? This is quite a development of the hypothesis of Sapir-Whorf, who believed that it is not reality that regulates language, but language that regulates reality. Taras Prokhasko went even further - he believes that language regulates not only reality, but even dreams. This is a kind of "Farion in a square".

All this together could be very attractive. But what finally drove me away from the Jewish authors was when I got to know not only the physical unkemptness, but also the moral dirt of this chosen people..."

Adolf Hitler speaks precisely on an emotional and figurative level in order to humiliate the Jews. Vinnychuk does the same to humiliate the Russians. I don't know which Russians Mr. Vinnychuk saw, but I can say from my own experience that dirt has no nationality, just like cleanliness.

Two weeks have passed since the publication of Vinnychuk's article. There is still no critical, reflexive and dignified reaction of Ukrainian intellectuals.

"Zbruch" does a very dangerous thing. This is not just ethno-nationalism, which supports the current President of Ukraine out of despair at losing his rating. This is not just "regional racism" with elements of fascism. This is a revision of the Revolution of Dignity, since with this approach we are not talking about a revolution of dignity, but a revolution of ethno-national dignity, where representatives of the Russian ethnic group are denied the right to honor and dignity.

At the current official level, the topic of the post-colonial dignity of Ukrainians is supported and stimulated in every possible way, and the topic of the post-colonial dignity of ethnic Russians is not that it is not supported, it is in every way rejected, twisted, humiliated and generally recognized as having no right to exist.

I would really like to know the thoughts of Ukrainian public intellectuals on this matter, especially Zabuzhko and Zhadan. Do we, Ukrainians, really stand for "our and your freedom", that is, for all freedom, or do we stand for only "our freedom", that is, for ethno-national freedom?

The Russian question has been raised, but there is no official solution

The ban on some Russian Internet resources in Ukraine, language quotas for media broadcasting, the controversial education law - all this indicates not only Ukrainianization, but also an attack on the rights of Ukrainian citizens who are ethnic Russians. While the war is going on, the Russians in Ukraine are silent. But such bad decisions do not paint any positive prospects for Ukrainian Russians. Ukraine lacks not only a strategy of Ukrainization, but also a strategy of actions towards Ukrainian Russians who support the Revolution of Dignity and reforms, which were often in the ATO from the side of Ukraine, who have always been, are and will be at the forefront of the ideological war with the Russians of Russia.

There are five main approaches of Ukraine and Ukrainians towards Ukrainian citizens who are ethnically Russian:

liquidation,

deportation,

discrimination,

isolation or segregation,

assimilation or solidarity
