Netherlands: US Removal of Panels Honouring Black Soldiers Housed at WWII Dutch Cemetery Draws Backlash! (31.12.2025)

After months of mystery around the disappearance of the panels, two media organizations — the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and online media Dutch News — this month published emails obtained through a U.S. Freedom of Information Act request showing that Trump’s DEI policies directly prompted the commission to take down the panels.

The White House did not respond to queries from AP about the removed panels.

The American Battle Monuments Commission did not respond to queries from AP about the revelations. Earlier, the ABMC told the AP that the panel that discussed segregation “did not fall within (the) commemorative mission.”

China: Trump’s Remarks on Venezuelan Airspace Closure Spark Wide Condemnation” (2.12.2025)

Trump said in a post on social media Saturday that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered to be closed “in its entirety.” His remarks came after Washington had strengthened its military buildup in the Caribbean Sea on the grounds of “fighting drug trafficking.”

Amid escalating tensions between the two countries, Trump confirmed on Sunday a phone call with his Venezuelan counterpart, without revealing any details of their conversation.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who had denied any involvement in drug dealing, sent a letter to Haitham Al Ghaism, secretary general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, warning that the U.S. military threat in the Caribbean could jeopardize global energy market stability.

Venezuela: Sai Baba & Religion in Uncertain Times! (25.11.2025)

Human evolution appears to possess a “religious” imperative – which I think might be due to sentient-beings experiencing determined material processes – with no physical ability to prevent these processes from unfolding or occurring. Why does theistic religion persist? Well, we are all born – and we will all cease to physically function at some point in future time and space (that is “die”). Whilst the biologically explainable process of “birth” is generally welcomed (within a range of certain caveats) – death is generally disdained, and herein lies the polarity that gives rise to religion – namely “uncertainty”.

Germany: Neo-Nazi – [Sven Liebich-Marla-Svenja Liebich] – Turns Trans-Gender for Easier Prison Ride! (23.11.2025)

A bearded neo-Nazi thrown behind bars in Germany for inciting hatred has legally changed his name and gender in an apparent bid to be transferred to a women’s prison — because he’s afraid of “discrimination.”

Sven Liebich, 53, is serving an 18-month sentence in a men’s jail in Saxony after being convicted last year on a handful of hatred and defamation charges, local outlet Mitteldeutsche Zeitung reported.

But the right-wing extremist, who is in the process of appealing the sentence, recently opted to change identity and now goes by Marla-Svenja Liebich.

“I am afraid of discrimination,” the convicted felon said in a statement.

Despite the stunning twist in the case, the outlet noted that Liebich hasn’t changed appearance since the gender shift — and now even has a longer beard.

China: BBC “Editing Scandal” Deepens Credibility Crisis! (15.11.2025)

The controversy erupted after The Daily Telegraph revealed an internal BBC memo showing that an October 2024 Panorama episode, Trump: A Second Chance?, had stitched together two segments of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, delivered more than 50 minutes apart. The edit created the misleading impression that Trump was directly urging supporters toward the Capitol riot, sparking public outrage and prompting The New York Times to label it as the BBC’s “worst crisis in decades.”
