Zero accountability: Dutch Deputy Prime Minister unaffected by transgressions
On Friday, Dutch data analyst Wouter Aukema published the research he and others conducted into government documents released after a FOI request, on an ancillary position of minister Sigrid Kaag. She is the Minister of Finance and First Deputy Prime Minister in the Fourth Rutte cabinet.
Published: January 12, 2023, 6:40 am
Kaag was a member of the WHO Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) from 2018 to 2021 and concealed this from the House of Representatives.
Aukema’s team concluded that Kaag acted in clear violation of the Integrity Manual, twice ignored advice not to serve on the GPMB and ignored multiple warnings to be accountable to the House.
The analyst’s Twitter thread about the ancillary position received almost 600 000 views, but the media has remained deafeningly silent.
This to the surprise of, among others, of journalist Dieuwertje Kuijpers. “It is really striking that all journalistic colleagues ignore Wouter Aukema’s brilliant finding: a minister with an ancillary position simply ‘shouldn’t’ be tolerated. Full stop,” she said. “That the finding is made by a messenger you do not like does not make the observation any less factual.”
During parliamentary questions, MP Leijten asked Prime Minister Rutte why the ancillary position was not declared despite the fact that it does follow from the code of conduct for ministers.
She also wanted to know whether there were other ancillary positions of ministers that should be registered according to the code of conduct, but have not been registered.
Kaag off to Davos again
Next week, 52 heads of state and government are expected in the Swiss ski resort of Davos. Nearly 600 company directors have also been invited. The Netherlands is sending ministers Kaag, Hoekstra, Ollongren and Schreinemacher.
They will discuss the war in Ukraine, the economy and “climate change”, among other topics. World Economic Forum president Borge Brende said that this year a “record number” of 52 heads of state and government will participate, with more than half of them coming from Europe.
Among them are President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines. Nearly 300 ministers are also expected to attend.
Brende pointed out that some delegations have requested that the names of their participants be kept secret for “security reasons”. These include delegations from China and Ukraine.
Public sessions are being held, but deals are also being struck behind the scenes in secret back rooms.
Elon Musk, for example, publicly stated that he did not want to get involved with the event participants, while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, UN Secretary General António Guterres, ECB President Christine Lagarde and IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva have confirmed their participation.
Getting to Davos safely
Josh Yoder of US Freedom Flyers meanwhile said that he was getting calls from wealthy businessmen and company directors who want to be flown around by an unvaccinated crew. The revelation was made by former Jetstar pilot Alan Dana in an interview with Maria Zeee.
Some people have the luxury of choosing who pilots their aircraft, said Dana, who pointed out that there were still many pilots who had not taken the jab. The rich and powerful only want to be flown around in their private jet by an unvaccinated crew, Dana stressed.
Passengers who buy a plane ticket and fly with a regular airline do not have that luxury, the pilot said. It is therefore likely that many WEF participants will be flown to Davos by an unvaccinated pilot, he concluded.
The months of November and December last year saw a number of unexplained deaths in aviation.
Two pilots, a steward, two flight attendants and a co-pilot died suddenly. The group Airliners for Humanity, which includes the Aviation Collective, believes these incidents should be closely investigated.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
