Climate Lunacy Enthroned HANS VOGEL All state and corporate media in the EU have been yelling and shouting about the hot weather in Europe. It is infernal, they say. Never been so hot, they want us to believe. UN Secretary General Guterres is telling the world the “Age of Global Boiling has arrived.” Thus lectures a man who has long been associated with notorious  pedophiles  and under whose auspices as Portuguese PM (1995-2002) the sexual abuse of minors in the so-called  Casa Pia  homes was taking place. On the weather maps shown in the media, the areas with temperatures above 35 degrees centigrade are colored blood red.

SENAY BOZTAS With the highest turnout in 30 years, Dutch voters gave an extraordinary signal to their four-party Government on Wednesday: the Farmer Citizen Movement (BoerBurgerBeweging, or BBB) is set to come first in regional elections, which decide the make-up of the Dutch Senate.  In a long voting day, with locations from repurposed drive-through testing centres to ancient churches, an estimated 61% of Dutch people turned out. The result was astonishing, even though the party has been   creeping up  the polls,   feeding on anti-establishment  feeling after unpopular Covid   lockdowns . Some analysts saw the election as a fight between two ‘moods’ in the Netherlands: a mood of (Right-wing) discontent, echoed also across other countries, ve...
