The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Een doemscenario dat ellendig genoeg heel serieus moet worden genomen
"Ik wil zo intens graag dat ik het verkeerd zie, dat de wereldorde die mijn land tachtig jaar vrede bracht niet is veranderd in een jungle waar Nederland als weerloos lekker hapje op het menu staat. Dit vooruitzicht valt bijna niet te verdragen." www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...
Opinie | We zijn in acuut gevaar, maar blijven wensdenken over de VS
Geopolitiek: Amerika heeft zich niet alleen van ons af, maar tégen ons gekeerd, ziet Joris Luyendijk. Maar om hem heen doen de meesten alsof er uiteindelijk niets aan de hand is.

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF!

Yes, we need good news these days. Very powerfull story by Michael Liebreich. Chapeau!
Please watch this over the weekend and help spread the word.
It's the story of a solar power project helping to save several hundred babies' lives each year in Sierra Leone.
