This investigation by Deutsche Welle inside Syria is courageous. Not just the Bashar Assad regime, but extremists supported by the West kidnapped, tortured and killed/executed civilians. This is an account of the disappearance of Human Rights activist Razan Zaitouneh from the terrorist stronghold in Douma near Damascus.
(Damascus Aug. 11, 2011) Amnesty International has been informed that Wa'el Hammada was kept in solitary confinement during the last 25 days of his initial detention at the Air Force Security branch. Reliable sources have said that he was tortured and otherwise ill-treated while held there and that his interrogation was focused on the activities of his wife, Razan Zaitouneh, a prominent Syrian human rights lawyer. Amnesty International therefore believes that his charges may be related both to his own peaceful involvement in popular protests calling for political reform and to the human rights work of his wife.

I'm not a fan of conservative PM Mark Rutte as you all know by now, never haven been if my memory serves me right.
VVD PM Rutte enjoys backing of his own party and the rest of the nation is very much divided. As the populist parties entered Dutch politics, the conservative VVD moved further to the right adopting policies to serve Xenophobia and Islamophobia.
What the masses ask for, we give what they want to stay in position of political power. It's been this way for eons to the empires of Rome, Greece, Peking and ancient Egypt. Rutte has collected a strong PR team and the followers are reporters and journalists close to the seat of power in The Hague.
Just recently was the very first time critical questions were asked at a press briefing ... Mark Rutte came apart and acted like Trump stung by a bee. The policy from Dutch government followed closely what was said in London and Washington DC. Herd immunity was the very first common denominator ... lasted for less than a week when he was called on his wisdom by virologists and epidemiologists.

Cocaine: How the Italian mafia found a Dutch home | EU Observer - 2017 |
In the centre of The Hague, with low-rise red brick buildings and trees lining Loggerstraat, a welcoming street just a stroll away from the sea. A waiter in his fifties is relaxing outside an Italian restaurant, in front of him a Dutch newspaper.
His long-time boss is no ordinary restaurant owner. Rocco Gasperoni was a drug trader who had been trafficking drugs for numerous `ndrangheta families for at least two decades, using the Netherlands as his operational base.

Diary has been updated ...
The Netherlands has been sliding into the new standard of political lies, populism rightwing rhetoric and attack on government institutions, police, ambulance and first responders. In The year where pressure is placed on society as a whole due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, the fragility and lack of solidarity becomes clear.
The European Union was established in the aftermath of killing fields of two devastating world wars started in Sarajevo and the ensuing evil of Nazi fascism in Berlin. The genocides in the 20th Century are looming as a black ghastly cloud in our history. Similarly in America the aftermath of the Civil War is racism, inequality in slavery by capitalism. The Canadian residential schools and killing fields of young children haunts the Anglo-Saxon white establishment from Ottawa to Toronto.

Donald Trump says more American Jews should have voted for him | JPost |
Donald Trump is still trying to figure out why more American Jews didn't vote for him, arguing in a haredi Orthodox magazine interview this week that they "don't love Israel enough" and the Israel-related moves he made as president should have earned him a larger share of the Jewish vote.
"You know what really surprised me?" Trump told Ami Magazine. "I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran -- the Iran Deal was a disaster, right?

Why politicians should be wary of publicly pursuing the Wuhan lab-leak investigation | The Conversation - June 7, 2021 |
The theory that SARS-CoV-2 originally leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, China, is making a comeback - so much so that President Joe Biden has publicly ordered the US intelligence community to "redouble" its investigations into this hypothesis. Politicians, however, should be wary of publicly advocating the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis. In doing so, they risk fuelling groundless and dangerous conspiracy theories.

NATO: 'We are not abandoning Afghanistan' | DW News |
NATO's deputy secretary general said the military alliance is not "running away" from Afghanistan, as international troops leave the country after nearly 20 years.
Speaking to DW's Conflict Zone host Tim Sebastian, Mircea Geoana stressed that NATO wants to continue to help Afghanistan, especially as the alliance is "fully aware" that there are security and political challenges ahead.
"We know that putting an end to our mission is also entailing risks, we are lucid about these things," said Geoana, a Romanian national who has been NATO's deputy secretary general since October 2019.
