Europe is circling the drain. From Sonja van den Ende
Let’s start with one of the richest countries in Europe: the Netherlands. Although small in size, the wealth enjoyed by elites and, to some extent, citizens some twenty years ago was enormous. I would even venture to say that, in some respects, the Netherlands was richer than Switzerland.

Visit to the VDNH Complex, Moscow- Built in 1935 and subsequently expanded, you can see all the buildings of the former USSR, its many republics, most of which are now independent countries.

President Putin has arrived in China. To participate in a meeting from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and attend official events marking the 80th anniversary of Victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II as a guest of honour. Ahead of his official visit to the People’s Republic of China, President Putin gave a written interview to the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
Interview: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/77864

Welcoming ceremony and photo were all held at Tianjin Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center, China. The Shanghai Corporation Organization (SCO)'s meeting will be held there. This year it turns out be a lot of participants, and it's much larger than the so-called G-7 in size and participants. The countries attending are good for 40% of the world trade and make up nearly half of the population of the planet. The West is loosing their hegemony both in colonialism and economy. The other part of the world is rising and the West can only look at it...

Zelensky announcing (on X he blocked me but can read the post) deep strikes will come, he writes : " We analyzed in detail the situation in the Zaporizhzhia direction and the enemy’s intentions. Also the situation in the border areas of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. We will continue our active operations in exactly the way needed for Ukraine’s defense. The forces and resources are prepared. New deep strikes have also been planned. This comes after the Russian Ministry of Defense, yesterday explained the goals of the SMO, the targets and the ongoing summer offensive by Russia.

Forty percent of the worlds economy are in the SCO countries especially China, and roughly about 50% of the world population are living in the SCO countries. European and US domination is over. Despite all the US tariffs (taxes) and Western proxy-wars.

Ursula von der Leyen was en route from Warsaw to Bulgaria, and claims the plane's GPS was disrupted. Naturally, the finger was immediately pointed at Russia.
A European Commission spokesperson says, based on information from Bulgarian authorities, that Russia may be behind the system disruption. Russia is frequently accused of "GPS jamming," which involves disrupting GPS signals from satellites in a specific area with a jammer.
The Financial Times newspaper was the first to report this morning about the jamming of von der Leyen's plane. Shortly afterward, the European Commission spokesperson confirmed the news. Von der Leyen is on a four-day tour of EU countries bordering Russia and Belarus.

Museum of Heroism in VDNH

Exhibition in pavilion 59 at the VDNH complex. It focuses on what it's called in Russia the Great Patriotic War, known in the West as World War II. But it primarily focuses on the current conflict in the Donbass, better known as the Special Military Operation.

President Putin spoke with Robert Fico of Slovakia, the only country represented at the SCO in China. He said, among other things: "As for any 'aggressive plans' by Russia against Europe, I would like to emphasize once again that it is utter nonsense that has no basis." He also compared the EU/NATO to a horror movie, without offending the Slovakian prime minister, who understood! Fico was the victim of an assassination attempt in 2024 an colour-revolutions (which failed so far) by the fascist EU countries. Although Slovakia is a member of the EU since 2004, he is the only premier of an EU country attending the SCO. The PM of Serbia is also there, but Serbia is not an EU country.

Father Tony Boutros, representative of the Greek Catholic Archbishop of Sweida - Shahba Church, recounts the suffering of more than 30,000 Christians in Sweida Governorate, addressing his rebuke to the Christian world. He described what happened 50 days after the terrorist attack on Sweida by the de facto authorities, which also targeted and burned six churches, and was accompanied by displacement, attacks, and thefts targeting Christians from the province. More than 250 Christian families were also harmed, and a number of innocent Christians were martyred.
Father Boutros emphasized that unarmed Christian civilians were subjected to the most heinous forms of killing, insults, attacks, beatings, and torture.
He said, "We are surprised that the voices of Christians around the world are not being heard." He thanked Sheikh Muwaffaq Tarif for his efforts and urged him, with regret and hope, to carry and transmit the voices of Christians in Sweida to all corners of the world.
He also made an urgent appeal to the international community, humanitarian organizations, and Christians around the world to condemn the atrocities committed against the Christians of Sweida and all its people, and to work tirelessly to make their voices heard by all possible means.

يروي الأب طوني بطرس، ممثل مطرانية السويداء - كنيسة شهبا للروم الكاثوليك، معاناة أكثر من 30 ألف مسيحي في محافظة السويداء، موجهًا توبيخه للعالم المسيحي. ووصف ما حدث بعد 50 يومًا من الهجوم الإرهابي على السويداء من قبل سلطات الأمر الواقع، والذي استهدف وأحرق ست كنائس، ورافقه تهجير واعتداءات وسرقات طالت مسيحيي المحافظة. كما تضررت أكثر من 250 عائلة مسيحية، واستشهد عدد من المسيحيين الأبرياء.

وأكد الأب بطرس أن المدنيين المسيحيين العزّل تعرضوا لأبشع أنواع القتل والشتائم والاعتداءات والضرب والتعذيب.

وقال: "نستغرب أن أصوات المسيحيين حول العالم لا تُسمع". وشكر الشيخ موفق طريف على جهوده، وحثّه، بأسف وأمل، على حمل أصوات مسيحيي السويداء ونقلها إلى جميع أنحاء العالم.

كما وجه الأب طوني نداء عاجلاً إلى المجتمع الدولي والمنظمات الإنسانية والمسيحيين حول العالم لإدانة الفظائع المرتكبة بحق مسيحيي السويداء وكل أهلها، والعمل بلا كلل لإيصال صوتهم بكل الوسائل الممكن

In deze deep dive spreekt Ab Gietelink met Sonja van den Ende, een Nederlandse freelance journalist in Moskou.
Ze biedt een uniek Russisch perspectief op de Russisch-Oekraïense oorlog en de propagandaoorlog in de media. Sonja reisde 10 keer naar de Donbas (Donjetsk, Lugansk, Saporozje, Cherson) en de Krim, en bericht over het leven daar:
- zien mensen Rusland als bezetter of bevrijder?
- Hoe gaat het in Rusland zelf?
- Wat denken Russen over de oorlog?
Blckbx vraagt door waar mainstream zwijgt! Ab duikt in Sonja’s ervaringen, haar werk voor o.a. Russia Today en de demonisering door westerse media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTdhERUqqtA

Military Parade in Beijing China on the square - Tiananmen Square (Plein van de Hemelse Vrede) remembering 80 year of the liberation from the occupation of Japan. Indonesia also there, because it's a very important event for them as well as for Russia and China!

De bevrijding van China van de Japanse overheersing werd in 1945 gevierd met de overgave van Japan aan het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Dit was ook het geval in Indonesië, waar zich veel “Japanse kampen” bevonden. Foto’s: Kremlin, AT-boek, bewerking: Mirjam©Photos

3 September, werd de bevrijding van Japan in 1945 groots gevierd met een militaire parade in Peking, China, waarvoor vele leiders waren uitgenodigd en die ook daadwerkelijk aanwezig waren. Behalve de Europese Unie, daar was alleen premier Robert Fico uit Slowakije aanwezig, en bij zijn terugkeer zal hij uiteraard worden gedemoniseerd door de Ruslandhaters en fascisten die momenteel de EU-landen besturen.

Nederland zou zich moeten schamen; veel Nederlanders hebben een verleden in Indonesië, waar hun voorouders óf tot de verkeerde groep behoorden: de kolonialisten, óf probeerden Indonesië te helpen. Hoe dan ook, duizenden Nederlanders belandden in de Japanse concentratiekampen in Indonesië.

Turbulent times await us in the EU, with unrest and revolutions, Sonja van den Ende writes. A Triangle of tensions: Alliances crumble over Ukraine war
For some time now, there have been tensions between Ukraine and Hungary. It is well known that Hungary is a major opponent of the European proxy war against Russia in the Donbas. For these and other reasons – such as rejecting the LGBTQ agenda and refusing to take in immigrants, whom the European Union calls refugees – Hungary’s Orbán has been labelled the EU’s “bad boy.” But Hungary is not alone in protesting against this proxy war, which is now on the verge of developing into a major European war, or perhaps even a Third World War, even though the Americans claim it has been prevented.

Things have gotten even worse in recent weeks. Under the leadership of the Polish Law and Justice Party (PiS), an ultra-right-wing conservative party, relations between Hungary and Poland were still relatively good. That changed when Poland elected a new prime minister in 2023, Donald Tusk, ending the right-wing party’s rule
