Cemetery of streetcars killed by General Motors, o. Terminal, California, 1956
By the early 20th century, almost every U.S. community with a population over 2,500 had its own system of electric railroads; in addition, streetcar lines connected a huge number of cities with each other. The longest continuous route was more than 1,500 kilometers, and the average speed of intercity trains was up to 130 km/h.
A 1974 report by U.S. Senate Counsel Bradford Snell provided evidence that from 1936 to 1950, General Motors, along with Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California and Phillips Petroleum, created shell holding companies through which they bought up streetcar lines and liquidated them.
As a result, streetcars were gradually replaced by smelly, slow buses. The manufacturer of these buses was the same General Motors. Uncomfortable schedules, cramped and stuffy cabins forced solvent citizens to buy personal cars from General Motors.

The Dutch aren't even in the top 20 for crimes committed in the Netherlands...
In fact, the only European ethnic group in the top 20 is Bulgaria, in 20th.
At least they have spicy Kebabs though.

It's a big club and we're not in it.
"Anti-establishment heroes" like Laurence Fox, Andrew Bridgen, and Jordan Peterson are in exactly the same club as Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau et al. The only difference is, they're noscripted in order to appeal to a different demographic - the "dissidents", us - but ultimately, are funnelling us all in exactly the same direction as Hancock and co are the normies. That's why all these supposedly independent anti-establishment figures and platforms interlink, and why, ultimately, they all coalesce with the same establishment agenda (and its money), as is irrevocably clear by the names listed on ARC's Advisory Board.”

In 2021, Israeli airstrikes destroyed the same building and one other building, collectively housing 20 media outlets.

Israel is deliberately obliterating media buildings in Gaza to cover up the war crimes that will follow
The destruction of two important Gaza buildings housing 20 media outlets was both shocking and predictable. History shows that if the media aren’t around to document Israel’s war crimes, it’s a lot easier for it to commit them.

"Bill Gates and other globalist billionaires are now investing in newly established climate companies like Kodama Systems to harvest and bury one billion tons of "biomass" to "save the planet." Millions of trees, which provide us with oxygen and could have been valuable timber, will be buried instead. This will lead to soaring prices for timber, firewood, pulp, and other wood products as a consequence. The mostly deliberately set forest fires around the world this summer are now being used as a primary argument for deforestation. The destruction of American forests "for the sake of climate" is being led by a Chinese professor. Along with tree planting on arable land and economic incentives for farmers to switch to "carbon farming" instead of food production, the already strained global food production will soon no longer be able to feed the world's population."
