Glyphosate is neither safe nor effective when you look at the whole picture. The most common defense of glyphosate compares its acute lethal dose (LD50) to caffeine or table salt. The comparison is technically accurate and functionally irrelevant. The actual issue is not acute toxicity, its chronic, low-dose exposure over years via food, water, and contact. This is a different toxicological question, and LD50 cannot address it. IARC classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen, citing sufficient evidence of cancer in animal studies, consistent evidence linking it to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in exposed human populations, and strong mechanistic evidence that it damages DNA and generates oxidative stress. Glyphosate defenders cite the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and EPA over IARC without explaining why these agencies reached different conclusions. EFSA assessed pure glyphosate using unpublished, industry-submitted studies. IARC assessed the commercial formulations actually used in the real world, including surfactants that increase absorption and toxicity -- using only peer-reviewed data. Beyond carcinogenicity, peer-reviewed studies associate chronic low-dose exposure with fatty liver disease, endocrine disruption, impaired male fertility, and neuroinflammation. The quoted thread also ignores glyphosate's declining field efficacy. Decades of over-reliance have selected for herbicide resistant weeds across well over 60 million acres of US farmland and cause an estimated $43 billion in damage to corn and soybean crops in the US and Canada. The industry has responded by stacking additional herbicides onto failing programs, accelerating the cycle of resistance. Compounding this, glyphosate disrupts soil microbial communities, increasing colonization by pathogens, suppressing beneficial bacteria and fungi, and reducing plant immune function. When the health evidence is contested because regulators relied on different data, when field efficacy is eroding under resistance pressure, and when measurable harm to soil biology continues to accumulate -- the response should be serious scrutiny, not a lethal dose chart.

Pornography is not a harmless private habit. It is an industry that distorts desire, degrades dignity, and weakens the bond between men and women. In this book review for @RestoringWest, @daisymaeinglese argues that its scale, coercion, and human cost demand a far more serious reckoning.

Opmerkelijk dat de oude media mijn naam blijft misbruiken voor hun narratieven. Dit fragment komt uit de uitzending van 2 voor 12 van vorige week. Even ter verduidelijking, doxing, dat op zichzelf al een overbaodige wet is (het kan namelijk al onder bedreiging of opruiing worden vervolgd) is sinds 2024 toegevoegd aan het wetboek van strafrecht. In werkelijkheid heeft Kaag geen Aangifte gedaan. Het OM adviseerde daar tegen namelijk. Dat is logisch, er was namelijk geen intimidatie of bedreiging gemoeid met het delen van adresgegevens die zij overigens al eerder zelf had gedeeld en dus uberhaupt al openbaar waren. Dat een paar dagen eerder @MaxBaptist92 met een fakkel voor haar deur stond en met haar wilde spreken over agenda2030, maakte dat mijn twitterdraadje op een bijzondere manier door de media en politiek werd geframed. In werkelijkheid ging mijn draad over de financiele troebelheid van Kaag. Iets dat later overigens heel duidelijk werd met haar 'fout' dat ze haar bezittingen niet op afstand had gezet. Daarnaast was het ministerie van finanicien een puihoop na haar bewind. Zij stond al op de website van het WEF als minister van financien terwijl ze nog niet beedigd was. Is overigens ook niet gebeurt, althans niet in persoon, want ze had een positieve PCR test. Haar naam was afgeschermd bij het kadaster. Daarnaast stond in het GBA dat adres als bedrijfspand. Daarnaast stond er een bedrijf ingeschreven tot ver in 2020 zie KVK Tim Connoly (Kaag woonde er vanaf 2018) Dat dit raak was blijkt wel uit de reactie van de media, niks van de inhoud van de draad die ik schreef werd opgepakt. Ik moest de schurk zijn omdat het huisnummer op de screenshot van het kadaster zichtbaar was, nou nou. Twitter deed ook een duit in het zakje. mijn account werd geschorst... voor spam en platform misbruik? Sterker nog mijn tweede account werd ook geschorst, sterker nog het account van mijn verloofde @dorienrose werd ook geschorst. Duidelijk was dat ik niks meer mpccht zeggen, het narratief was beschadigd en ik moest monddood. Ook op dat moment stuurde Dikkeboom een brief aan het OM, aan OvJ Vreugdenhil die mij al sinds 2020 juni in de gaten liet houden. Dat Dikkeboom meer dan waarschijnlijk niet zelf het initiatief nam voor deze brief maar eerder antwoorde op een verzoek van Vreugdenhil blijkt wel uit het weigeren deze communicatie openbaar te maken. Kamervragen, WOO verzoek, strafrechterlijk dossier alle wegen worden dichtgehouden. De draad over Kaag legde iets bloot, iets dat we ook al zagen met de #ikdoenietmeermee in 2020 en de avondklok in 2021: Als je raakt schiet dat is de overheid opeens niet zo incompetent en wordt alles ingezet, met een reeks aan misdrijven incluis, om je monddood te maken. Dat in 2026 de @debroervanroos en 2 voor 12 nog bezig zijn met mij weg te zetten als gek, complotdenker en crimineel laat zien hoe diep de haat tegen waarheid zit bij de lakeien van de overheid. Narratieven worden verdedigd tot op het bot.

⚡️The American university system is the largest wealth transfer from the young to the old in human history and nobody frames it that way because the people who benefit from it control the framing. Eighteen year olds who can’t legally buy a beer are signing six figure debt obligations to institutions that face zero accountability for outcomes. The loan is non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. The university gets paid regardless of whether the student gets a job. The incentive structure is pure extraction. Get them in. Get the money. What happens after is their problem. 43% underemployment isn’t a failure of the students. These kids did exactly what they were told. Study hard. Get good grades. Go to college. Get the degree. They followed the script perfectly and the script was a lie. Not a lie that anyone intended maliciously at first. But a lie that became profitable enough that nobody corrected it even after the data made it obvious. The people who designed this system, the administrators pulling $500k salaries, the tenured professors teaching subjects with zero market application, the loan servicers collecting interest on degrees in fields that haven’t produced a living wage in twenty years. None of them are underemployed. They’re doing fine. The 43% is subsidizing their comfort. Now add AI. The entry level professional jobs that justified the debt are the first ones being compressed. Not blue collar work. Not trades. The exact white collar knowledge work positions that the degree was supposed to unlock. Legal research. Financial analysis. Consulting grunt work. Content production. The 43% who are already underemployed are about to be joined by a significant chunk of the 57% who thought they made it. The people who will come through this are the ones who figured out early that the credential was a trap. The ones who built skills instead of collecting letters after their name. The ones who found asymmetric paths. The ones who created value directly instead of waiting for an institution to certify them as valuable. The university system had a real function once. It produced genuine education and genuine opportunity. That function has been hollowed out by decades of misaligned incentives until what remains is mostly a financing operation that happens to have classrooms attached. And 43% of its recent customers just confirmed with their own lives that the product doesn’t work.

Orbán’s Defeat Sparks Gloating Across Europe’s Establishment Jubilant reactions from EU figures reveal how pivotal Hungary had become in opposing further centralisation—but Patriots for Europe are “more united than ever” in their mission to defend the sovereignty of Europe’s nations. europeanconservative.com/articles/news/…

Jan-Willem Erisman heeft het jaarverslag 2025 uitgebracht van zijn "Wetenschappelijke Klimaatraad". Personeelskosten een kwart hoger, en Nederlandse taal verrijkt met "fossiele kleding", een onwaardige poging om stemming te maken. Vier miljoen voor Erisman c.s. bracht ons twee rapporten. IJzersterk in "meer dwang" voor "netto nul", maar nooit zorgvuldige afweging van kosten en baten.

@mboudry Can't intelectuals just make normal analises anymore? I am so tired with this kind of histerical and emotional comments.

70 years after the Hungarian Uprising, the Hungarians are once again defying a Russian imperalist and his puppet regime* at home. Fortunately, this time the Russians won't send in tanks to crush it and to install another puppet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian… *I'm exaggerating, but only a little: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

According to INSEE, France now spends 57.2% of its GDP through the state. That's a higher share than the IMF attributes to the USSR in 1990, just a year before it collapsed. Astonishing.

Every time you accepted a salary, chose a price, or walked into a negotiation, the other person was running GAME THEORY in their head. You were guessing. This 1-hour Yale lecture by Professor Ben Polak will permanently change how you read people and make decisions. Most MBAs pay $150k to learn this. Yale posted it for free:

Russia’s most prominent foreign policy analyst Fyodor Lukyanov says Viktor Orbán’s defeat reflects voter fatigue after 16 years in power, a weak economy, and a campaign that became “overloaded with external issues.” Lukyanov, who has close ties to the Kremlin and hosts Putin annually at the Valdai Club, is a pretty good barometer of establishment thinking in Moscow. He argues the result actually reinforces the “my country first” trend, which is gaining currency around the world, as voters rejected foreign policy battles with Brussels and Ukraine in favour of “their own lives and practical concerns.” Lukyanov notes Orbán’s team centred its campaign on figures like Zelensky as an “anti-hero,” while the opposition focused on corruption and living standards. And, of course, they won. He also points out that support from Donald Trump and JD Vance had no impact, arguing that “external pressure rarely works without internal conditions.” Despite expectations in Brussels that Hungary will now unblock a €90 billion Ukraine aid package, he says the geopolitical constraints remain unchanged, especially given energy dependence and projects like Paks nuclear expansion. Lukyanov also notes incoming leader Peter Magyar has already signalled the need for dialogue with Moscow, suggesting pragmatism may prevail over rhetoric.

Het EP wil een 10% hoger EU-budget. Dit verzoek rammelt: 1. netto-betalers willen niet meer betalen aan "het" EU-budget. 2. Er worden al grote bedragen buiten het EU-budget geplaatst (voor Oekraine, ESM, en meer zal volgen). politico.eu/article/eu-par…

The Sierra Sun Tower in California was built to prove that heliostat farms could power the future. But it never lived up to the promise. The plant depended on perfect desert sunshine, anything less and output collapsed. In its first full year, it produced barely 12% of its projected generation. Operating costs were so high that it only ran on the brightest days. Every other day, it sat idle. Despite winning "project of the year" in 2010, by 2015 it was effectively abandoned. Another green flagship built, funded, celebrated and then quietly shut down when reality hit.

🚨Statement on the Hungarian Election from MCC Brussels Sunday’s Hungarian election saw an unprecedented exercise of democratic rights by the Hungarian people. They voted in their millions for change, and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán graciously conceded defeat to his opponent. This enormous mobilisation of the population should be the final nail in the coffin of the increasingly desperate narrative, favoured by EU elites and the Brussels media, that Orbán was a dangerous autocrat who had built an anti-democratic system. Orbán remained a democrat to his core. Orbán’s defeat is naturally a significant setback to those who support the values which defined his rule: national sovereignty, strong borders, and proud defence of national values. It is a sign of the depth of Orbán’s influence that even his opponent Peter Magyar was forced to speak in these terms. While Magyar should be judged on his record -and we hope he will be as firm in defending these values as Prime Minister Orbán has been -we should be wary of simply taking Magyar at his word. It is clear, not just from the ecstatic mood among EU elites but also from Magyar’s signature campaign promises - such as the unfreezing of EU funds and the expansion of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office - that Magyar plans to significantly accommodate to the diktats of Brussels. Magyar will have a difficult time protecting Hungary’s sovereignty, borders and culture whilst allowing Brussels to stamp its mark on the country. He also leads a highly heterogenous coalition which will be difficult to hold together under stress. EU elites should also be wary of celebrating too soon. Whilst Orbán may have been defeated, the wider mood of the continent is unchanged. The populist revolution is still very much ongoing. The pushback against the EU elite’s addiction to uncontrolled migration, its disastrous energy and environmental policies, and its culture war against the values of European civilisation is still well underway. Nonetheless, populists, patriots and genuine conservatives should seriously reckon with the lessons of this defeat. There will be much debate about the meaning of this election, and clearly the desire for change played a significant role, but we draw attention to three often under-emphasised factors. First, far from being a marginal phenomenon, the influence of the globalist outlook of identity politics ought to be a core concern for us all. There is a powerful ideology which seeks to detach people from their national consciousness, their sense of civilisation and history, and replace genuine solidarity with the contemporary identities of gender, race or sexuality. The considerable resources of the European Commission, such as its army of funded NGOs, push this ideology day and night. Defeating this is key to the success of any populist candidate. Second, and relatedly, is the need to thoroughly convince a new generation of voters – both young people and those who have been politically inactive for some time. Many European populist movements are successfully linking the sense of disaffection that exists among young people to their core concerns, but there is much more to be done. Third, we draw attention to a perennial problem on the European Right. The obfuscatory language and secretive operation of the European Union institutions means we must work exceptionally hard to translate the dangerous trends in Brussels into the everyday language of ordinary voters. People’s concerns will rightly be focused on everyday issues of peace and prosperity. This is why it is especially important to find new ways to link the destructive policies of the EU elites to people’s everyday reality. When so much of the threat to our civilisation happens “over there” in Brussels, we must be better at explaining what it means “over here” in the towns and villages of our nation-states. Finally, many are asking what the election means for MCC Brussels. As an independent organisation, we will continue to research, analyse and advocate around our core concerns, and continue to hold the European Union institutions to account. We look forward to continuing to work with our friends and comrades across the continent.

@panyiszabolcs Not content with his work so far with foreign intelligence services, Szabolcs now wishes to involve the Belgian security services. He seems to be addicted to work with foreign intelligence!

Orbán was one of the few leaders pushing back against total centralisation of power in Brussels. With him out of the way, EU elites will proceed to vanquish what little is left of member-state sovereignty across Europe. No wonder the War Party can’t contain its excitement.
