“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors,” is a quote often attributed to the Greek philosopher Plato. In all the instances I’ve seen so far, this quote is used to motivate people to take action themselves and actively participate in politics. Read more ⟶

In the past year I worked on two eBooks in my spare time containing stories about the Surinamese (plantation) history. These stories were written in the period between 2003 and 2009 by my father Kenneth R. Donk. The stories were divided into three main themes and each theme is covered in a separate book. Read more ⟶

One of the nice things about having a blog on the Internet is that you get to connect with people around the world and are able to share ideas and information with them. And the interactivity means that you can also get updates and learn from your readers. This is how I got to know about an amazing book by Robert S. Mendelsohn titled “Confessions of a Medical Heretic.” Read more ⟶

A few days ago I came across the following in an article on Starnieuws: The Dutch Public Prosecutor wanted the banks to give up the 19.5 million euros to the Dutch state in exchange for a solution. The banks did not give in and decided by means of a complaint procedure to submit the case to the Dutch courts. Read more ⟶

Enkele dagen terug kwam ik in een artikel op Starnieuws het volgende tegen: Het Nederlands Openbaar Ministerie wilde dat de banken de 19,5 miljoen euro aan de Nederlandse staat zouden afstaan in ruil voor een oplossing. De banken zijn daarvoor niet gezwicht en hebben besloten middels een klaagschrift procedure de zaak aan de Nederlandse rechter voor te leggen. Read more ⟶

I was reading Larken Rose’s book titled “Kicking the Dragon” (which you can download for free) where he wrote about his experiences in dealing with the American Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Read more ⟶

When you hear about “anarchy” it’s often associated with violence and chaos, but this is not what the word actually means. In a new mini-book by Larken Rose he explains in simple language accompanied by beautiful illustrations what anarchy truly means. The book is titled “What Anarchy Isn’t” and is currently in production and will be released very soon. Read more ⟶

While the establishment is currently ramping up their vaccination propaganda and various social media platforms are beginning to censor anti-vaccination information, stories keep appearing online of children suffering the consequences of being poisoned by vaccines. Read more ⟶

The German translation of Larken Rose’s excellent and must read book “The Most Dangerous Superstition” is now available on Amazon as paperback and ebook. Originally written in English, the book has also previously been translated into Dutch. The book goes into many details about the system of enslavement that we currently live in and the thinking and psychology that enables it to continue. Read more ⟶

Change your plans for this evening, because this is a documentary you have to see. Yesterday I saw another amazing documentary titled “Hellstorm” made by Kyle Hunt, and based on the book “Hellstorm: The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947” by Thomas Goodrich. You can watch it for free (embedded below), but you can also order DVDs from the official website. Read more ⟶

I’ve always hated economics and related subjects in school. I couldn’t explain exactly why back then, but it all seemed like worthless crap to me. Of course, like every other kid my age growing up in an authoritarian society, I had little choice but to sit through the lessons and try to get good enough grades (I used to barely pass those exams) so that I could please everyone else but myself.

Want to learn typography? The best book on the subject is “The Elements of Typographic Style” by Robert Bringhurst. This book is a masterpiece when it comes to the subject of typography and page design. Very often I come across people online who ask where they can learn about typography, and I see experienced designers being very mysterious about it, as if they’re hoarding and carefully guarding their knowledge.

A lack of regular, good and fulfilling sex in your life can have a serious negative impact on your intelligence, especially in the long term. The more chronic this lack of sex becomes, the more serious the psychological (mental, emotional, intellectual) problems become. Read more ⟶

During the past weekend I came across an interesting book by Esther Vilar titled “The Manipulated Man.” If you haven’t read it yet, I recommend reading it, as there’s a lot of truth in the book. Read more ⟶
