Excellent post, thanks. I also had no idea about The Hague Invasion Act. Is there going to be any end to the horrors unleashed upon the planet by American stupidity, venality and hubris? I fear not.

And that Volvo ad? Oh my.

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, surprise! It was already worse 20 years ago

This rotting American empire is going out with a bang. Imagine self-imploding over Israel.

Caught Spoorloos in the theater a few months ago and I loved it, but I was surprised that none of my Dutch colleagues (in their 40s-50s) had even heard of it!

Lucky you! Where did you see it? I’d love to catch it in the cinema.

I saw it at Lab-1 in Eindhoven, but I think it was playing this past summer at most of the Cineville-affiliated theaters. Maybe you could catch it at the Eye Filmmuseum?

If Benjamin Netanyahu stepped foot in Canada, he would be arrested, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed on Thursday after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for the Israeli Prime Minister.

Also included in the warrant are Netanyahu’s former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and a Hamas leader.

So much mayhem. The world needs a strong leader of a Democracy, like head of household for earth. That way all these adolescents are kept manageable. Without a obviously strong leader these kids all get out of control.

President Harris time to stand up and take charge.

I have seen this movie in french ¨The Vanishing¨ long time ago and I agree, the end is horrific.

It’s so dark. Equally as dark as Speak No Evil, I think
