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 ⟶
‘Chan’ for ‘Bouta’: lead for old iron
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 ⟶

Know your crypto-history!
I came across a well-written paper last week titled “Cryptoanarchism and Cryptocurrencies” (August 20th 2020). The paper is written by Usman W. Chohan and it is available for download for free. I highly recommend reading it, even if you think you know a lot about the history of cryptocurrencies. Read more ⟶
The idea that the State originated to serve any kind of social purpose is completely unhistorical. It originated in conquest and confiscation — that is to say, in crime. It originated for the purpose of maintaining the division of society into an owning-and-exploiting class and a propertyless dependent class — that is, for a criminal purpose. Albert J. Nock
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner
The beginning of the end of the banking ‘mafia’
Several articles have been published in recent months about the problems that people constantly face at local banks. There are also many complaints on social media. Members of parliament even speak of a banking ‘mafia’. Read more ⟶
The State is, and always has been, the great single enemy of the human race, its liberty, happiness, and progress. Murray Rothbard
I think the person who takes a job in order to live — that is to say, for the money — has turned himself into a slave. Joseph Campbell
I’m a prisoner
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 ⟶
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are. H.L. Mencken
Facebook censors Malcolm X speech
Yesterday I tried sharing a speech by Malcolm X on Facebook and noticed that Facebook is censoring part of the speech based on copyright claims. The speech is included in a cartoon animation video, illustrating the things that Malcolm X talks about, namely the difference between what he calls ‘house negroes’ and ‘field negroes.’ You can see the notification I got from Facebook below.

We didn’t learn from Anton de Kom
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.

When you are presented with a choice between two evils, do not choose the lesser. Choose the exit. Robert Higgs

De COVID-19 misleiding – Deel 2
Terwijl men zich in het buitenland steeds meer aan het realiseren is dat de verregaande maatregelen getroffen door roverheden tegen het SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus niet alleen ineffectief zijn gebleken maar ook desastreuze gevolgen hebben op verschillende gebieden, is de Surinaamse roverheid nu bezig min of meer dezelfde maatregelen op te leggen aan de lokale bevolking.

The COVID-19 Deception – Part 2
While international awareness is growing that the far-reaching countermeasures taken by criminal governments against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus have not only proven to be ineffective but have also had disastrous consequences in various areas, the Surinamese criminal government is now in the process of imposing more or less the same countermeasures on the local population.

Suriname also becomes COVID-19 police state
The police state tactics that I warned about a few months ago have now come to Suriname. Here’s from “COVID-19 Team Encounters a lot of Opposition” (June 3rd 2020): The special Task Force of Public Health doesn’t have enough resources to pick up contacts, conduct investigations and carry out telephone checks on people in quarantine. “It’s really not proceeding smoothly.

Losing the elections of May 25th 2020
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.
