If people are indeed so bad, why would you create the possibility for them to end up in positions of power where they can cause immense harm? And then complain when these bad people, who are not angels, abuse their power? In that case, who’s the crazy one? Read more ⟶

A few weeks ago I came across some writings by Lysander Spooner published in 1882 under the title “Natural Law; or the Science of Justice”. Specifically section three of chapter three caught my attention because it contains a lot of insights that I had to come to myself over the course of a few years of my own research and experience.

“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 ⟶

I can still remember vivid­ly when Cur­tis Hof­wijks burst into laughter at the Dependence Square in Para­maribo, when I told him for the umpteenth time that my Facebook account was blocked again for a while. It was during the period of 2015–2016 when I supported him during his protests against the policies of the robberment, led at the time by Bouterse. Read more ⟶

The word ‘anarchy’ has its origins in the Ancient Greek word ‘anarchos’. ‘An’ means ‘without’ and ‘archos’ means ‘ruler’. So anarchy literally means “without ruler”. This can be compared to the word ‘monarchy’, which means “one ruler” (‘monos’ means ‘one’ or ‘alone’). Read more ⟶

Het is geen wonder dat het huidig politiek/economisch systeem precies blijft doen waar het voor ontworpen was, namelijk het uitbuiten van eenieder op de plantage Suriname, ongeacht welke opzichters tijdelijk ‘de macht krijgen’.  Read more ⟶

It is no coincidence that the current political/economic system continues to do exactly what it was designed to do, namely, exploitation of everyone on the plantation Suriname regardless of which overseers temporarily “come to power”. Read more ⟶

Ever wonder why Plato chose to speak and write in the dialogue form? If so, you’re not alone. I’ve wondered that myself in the past while reading some of his work. And even back then it seemed to me that he was trying to somehow record some important knowledge, sometimes philosophical concepts and sometimes even (alternative) history, without getting into trouble.

During discussions about the system of enslavement (‘Statism’) that is currently implemented worldwide, one of the things that’s often brought up by others is the question of why I’m making use of things (facilities, services, etc.) inside this system while I am opposed to it. That would seem hypocritical upon first glance, and this question, often phrased in a variety of ways, is a very valid question. Read more ⟶

At the moment, especially in the Netherlands but also in Suriname, there’s a hype around Anton de Kom and his book “We slaves of Suriname.” Unfortunately, it all looks more like ‘virtue-signaling’ and ‘lip-service’ given the fact that there is little evidence that people have actually understood Anton de Kom’s message, let alone that they have changed their daily choices and actions accordingly.

Back in June 2019 I had warned about relying on cloud platforms for your business and for storing your (personal) data, with some examples of what could go wrong. With all the recent online censorship related to the COVID-19 ‘pandemic’ more examples are piling up showing what can happen when you rely on the current centralized Software As A Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms.

Following is an English translation of an article I wrote that was published on Starnieuws yesterday. The original article is in Dutch and you can read it on Starnieuws if you prefer that version. In a recent column on Starnieuws Mr. Hans Breeveld wrote the following: “Nobody should allow themselves the luxury of not voting. Read more ⟶

If, like me, you’ve wondered why all of our cultures, social institutions and ways of living together, have elements of slavery that are deeply, and indeed even fundamentally, embedded, then I hope you realize that this is because that’s how ‘civilization’ started many thousands of years ago, enforced on us by a specific extraterrestrial ruling class.

After the recent example of torture and oppression by the criminal government of China, new leaked documents give insight into what the criminal government of China calls “re-education camps.” Here’s from the BBC, “Data leak reveals how China ‘brainwashes’ Uighurs in prison camps” (November 24th 2019): Leaked documents detail for the first time China’s systematic brainwashing of hundreds of ...
