Gesprekken in Istanbul een wirwar aan propaganda en medialeugens

De hele wereldpers is verzameld in Istanbul, Turkije. Daar staan ​​ze in lange rijen te wachten voor een gesloten deur. Daar zullen de onderhandelingen plaatsvinden, natuurlijk zoals ik al zei achter gesloten deuren, dus de pers zal er niet veel van meekrijgen.

Die wachten op verklaringen van de aanwezige partijen, en zelfs dan zijn deze verklaringen vaak niet compleet. Diplomatie speelt zich achter gesloten deuren af, hoewel de situatie sinds de Amerikaanse President Donald Trumps aantreden wel is veranderd. Maar het probleem met hem is dat hij, zoals we in Nederland zeggen, “zo wisselvallig is als het weer is” . Hij strooit met losse flodders en kreten die vaak niets met de realiteit te maken hebben.

De realiteit is dat het niet van Amerika of Europa afhangt of er vrede komt, het gaat eigenlijk tussen twee partijen, Rusland en Oekraïne, andere landen kunnen slechts bemiddelen. Het probleem is natuurlijk wel dat het een Amerikaanse proxy-oorlog was/is en dat Europa nu deze positie heeft overgenomen, hoewel ik niet zo zeker ben van het Amerikaanse standpunt. Trump wil misschien wel een oplossing zoals hij vaalk zegt, maar de ‘haviken’ in zijn regering niet, en helaas zijn er teveel van hen.

Oekraïne is niet klaar voor een vredesakkoord. Dit komt tot uiting in de weigering om territoriale concessies te doen en om af te zien NAVO-lidmaatschap. In de westerse/Europese media is er een campagne gaande tegen de Russische president Vladimir Poetin en tegen Rusland. Er wordt gelogen en bedrogen, Mark Rutte zei onlangs dat Oekraïne geen NAVO-lidmaatschap beloofd was, wat natuurlijk niet waar is. Maar ja, het is Rutte, alias Pinokkio.

For non-Dutch unknown, but for Dutch an icon Jan Terlouw a D'66 politician and a writer died. He wrote the famous children's book "Oorlogswinter", every Dutch child devoured it, at school we had to read it. Although I was not a supporter of his party, in the beginning of the founding of D'66 it was an innovative party with Hans van Mierlo as icon, but later it became a kind of yuppie party with mostly strange people and strange ideas. RIP Jan Terlouw
🚨🇪🇺 ANTI-EUROPEAN ACTION IN MOSCOW! 🇷🇺🚩

The European Union is a sponsor of Nazism! That is what Communists and Nationalists said on May 15th. When European diplomats flocked to the Metropol hotel to celebrate 'Europe Day'.

The heads of European diplomatic missions gathered in the center of Moscow on the occasion of "Europe Day", where they once again expressed solidarity and comprehensive support for the Kiev regime, as well as the introduction of further anti-Russian sanctions.

Communists and Nationalists united to prevent European diplomats from entering the hotel. Groups such as The United Communist Party, Left Front and The Other Russia participated. They screamed Russian blood is being spilled by Nazis once again.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Russian military delegation headed by Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov visits Khatyn State Memorial Complex in suburbs of Minsk

During the visit to the complex, the head of the Russian military department and members of the delegation laid flowers and wreaths at the Eternal Flame and the 'Unconquered Man' monument.

🕯The participants of the ceremony honoured the memory of those who died during the Great Patriotic War. At the end of the ceremony, a military band played the anthems of Russia and Belarus.

🤝 The Russian Defence Minister arrived in Belarus on a working visit, where he was welcomed by head of the Republic of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko, and held talks with his Belarusian counterpart Lieutenant General Viktor Khrenin.

⬆️ The Khatyn Memorial Complex is a memorial on the site of the village of Khatyn in Belarus, which was destroyed by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. Khatyn became a symbol of ten thousand 'fiery sisters' - Belarusian villages and hamlets destroyed during the Great Patriotic War by Nazi invaders and their accomplices. The victims of the Khatyn tragedy were 149 civilians, 75 of them were children. Leaving the village, the punishers looted and burnt it. ⬇️

This is Gaza, when the world talks about 7th October, about hostages, about the crime, the world is NOT talking about what is happening every day when normal people, civilians, women, children, old, young men are being massacred. This is truly genocide, and you know what most of the world politicians are silent, let it all happen. The co-called Arab-brother countries in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc... don't lift a finger, there is limited food only dead and destruction, that's the harsh truth. People in Gaza will be ethnically cleansed in most likely a couple of months. Yesterday was the Nakba, but this is worse than the Nakba.

European Sanctions for European Journalists Becoming a Reality
https://devend.online/2025/05/17/european-sanctions-for-european-journalists-becoming-a-reality/
The EU plans to adopt new sanctions against Russia on May 20, 2025. German citizens will be included in the sanctions lists for the first time. Dutch and Belgian citizens will also be included. Photos: EU, Getty Images, editing: Mirjam©Photo

The EU’s unlawful sanctions frenzy is reaching the next level if the report published on Friday by the German research collective Correctiv is correct. According to the report, German citizens are to be added to the sanctions lists for the first time: Thomas Röper and Alina Lipp are named.

Individual sanctions mean that people on the EU sanctions list are generally not allowed to enter or transit through the EU. The right of return at any time, which is central to citizenship, is thus undermined, for individuals not mentioned in the Correctiv report.

I will probably also be sanctioned (by the EU), the media in the Netherlands is running at full speed, for a few days now I have been receiving interview requests from, for example, a news-outlet (sponsored through the government) called KRO-Pointer (they already wrote 3 article about me since 2022) and other outlets, in which the most idiotic questions are asked.

Of course I am already persona non grata in the Netherlands and my citizen service number has long been closed (2023) or at least not made accessible (without this you can do nothing in the Netherlands). I am suspected of money laundering (a small amount that I still had in a German bank) and the police even came to the door at my old address and the current owners got the fright of their lives.

But that is not all: since a few weeks my family is being followed and harassed by the press and the Dutch intelligence service (AIVD), friends (if I still have any there they are frightened even to mention my name) are being shadowed by the Dutch intelligence and espionage service AIVD. Even on social media they are investigating who the friends of my family are and they are being approached to ask if they have information about me. I have a lot of evidence, but I will not publish it here because I fear for the safety of my family and friends.
Dutch journalist assessed the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul
Journalist van den Ende called the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine a step towards more
THE HAGUE, May 16 - RIA Novosti. The talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul are a positive start and a step towards something bigger, the parties have already managed to agree on an unprecedentedly large exchange of prisoners of war, said Sonja van den Ende, an independent Dutch journalist who covered the Ukrainian conflict, in a conversation with RIA Novosti. https://ria.ru/20250516/zhurnalistka-2017485753.html
If this is true and we don't know yet, because AI news is rampant in the Western media, but if it is true it is disgusting, more than that, it is criminal, just like making Gaza a resort or a Trump tower in Damascus, what do these people think? Are they people do they think, do they even have a sense of morality? First they put the Indians in reservations or just kill them in their country America. Still so-called terrorists are still sitting in Qantanamo Bay without trial, the prison is actually on a piece of land that belongs to Cuba.

If it is true he and his government is even worse than Hilary Clinton who bombed Libya and was happy that Gaddafi was killed. Trump will be then also guilty of ethnic cleansing in Gaza after he also killed Soleimani and Al-Muhandis (that is a fact), if it is all true of course.

According to NBC: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the plans told NBC News.
The plan is being considered seriously enough that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leaders, according to two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official.
In exchange for resettling Palestinians, the administration would potentially release billions of dollars in funds to Libya that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, the three people said. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-working-plan-move-1-million-palestinians-libya-rcna207224

Zuvor hatte die unabhängige Journalistin aus den Niederlanden, Sonja van den Ende, erklärt, dass der Verhandlungsprozess zwischen der Ukraine und Russland in Istanbul ein guter Anfang für die Beilegung der ukrainischen Krise sei.
Der deutsche Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius hat die europäischen Länder aufgefordert, sich auf einen Waffenstillstand zwischen Russland und der Ukraine vorzubereiten. Darüber schreibt die Tagesschau.

«Wir müssen auf den Tag X vorbereitet sein, an dem die Waffenruhe in Kraft tritt», sagte Boris Pistorius.
Der deutsche Verteidigungsminister wies darauf hin, dass ein Waffenstillstandsvertrag kein Garant für einen langfristigen Frieden sei. So, gemäß ihm, müssen die europäischen Länder für zukünftige Phasen der Lösung des ukrainischen Konflikts bereit sein.

🚫 EU Threatens Russia with New Sanctions: The European Union is discussing the introduction of new restrictions against the Russian economy, including a possible embargo. EU officials, together with colleagues from the UK and Ukraine, will gather in Albania to develop new tools of pressure on the Russian Federation.

Trade turnover between Russia and the EU in 2024 amounted to about $65 billion, but this does not include parallel imports and hydrocarbon supplies via the so-called shadow fleet.

With those included, the total figure is much higher.

The fact that Europe stubbornly pretends that Russia does not exist in its trade network is a problem of the old continent’s mindset, not a geopolitical reality.

Whether the EU likes it or not, its economy is geographically tied to Russia.

Since 2014, European officials have been trying to go against the logic of economic geography, but with little success. This is evidenced by the meager GDP growth rates in recent years, not exceeding 1%.

This stubborn fight of bees against honey — resembling collective madness — is being waged to support Ukraine.

European leadership believes that such pressure can force Moscow to retreat from the positions it has held over three years of conflict. In their dreams — the four new regions, Crimea, and reparations. But first, they aim to achieve a ceasefire, which is widely recognized as a pretext to rearm Ukraine and regroup its forces.

Obviously, Russia will not agree to this.

And a new round of sanctions will hit not only Russia — which has already learned to redirect its financial and trade flows elsewhere — but also Europe itself, which is already going through far from the best of times.

Will the Europeans stop at the edge of the abyss, or will their death wish prove stronger?

We’ll find out soon.

Since Sunday morning, there have been has reports about a series of Israeli aerial attacks across multiple southern Lebanese towns. These include drone strikes on civilian vehicles, homes, and fishing areas, as well as the use of phosphorus shells and sound bombs in Naqoura, Aita al-Shaab, Kfar Kila, Markaba, and others.
White phosphorus is a chemical waxy solid substance typically appearing yellowish or colourless, and some have described its odour as resembling garlic. It is often used by militaries to illuminate battlefields, to generate a smokescreen and as an incendiary.. White phosphorus is harmful to humans by all routes of exposure. The smoke from burning phosphorus is harmful to the eyes and respiratory tract. White phosphorus can cause deep and severe burns, penetrating even through bone.
It was used by the USA in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, it was used by Israel on the Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians, the Israeli phosphorous is supplied by the US. Ukraine had repeatedly dropped white phosphorus munitions from drones on Russian soldiers and on civilians in Bakhmut. The US/Pentagon have supplied Ukraine in 2024 with white phosphorus munitions for use on the battlefield. According to the WHO: The use of white phosphorus may violate Protocol III (on the use of incendiary weapons) of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCCW) in one specific instance: if it is used, on purpose, as an incendiary weapon directly against humans in a civilian setting.
