I have an adage in my life: maximising major changes in life to only one (1). Late 2024, a friend bought a house in Spain and left the Netherlands. My friend speaks adequate Spanish and had visited that region for many years, albeit as a Dutch tourist. My friend should have “grounded” but did not. Change in life is usually about family, friendship, house,...
De eerste Spaanse verklaring was een mogelijke cyberaanval. Vervolgens kwam er nog een mogelijke verklaring: atmosferische storingen. De recente klasse-X (!!) zonnevlammen zijn trouwens nog niet genoemd (o.a. Space-2025). Tijdens het schrijven blijkt er wederom een mogelijke nieuwe oorzaak: tijdelijke uitval van zonneparken gedurende 1,5 seconde tot 5 seconden. In...
Op 10 oktober 2024 kwam EenVandaag met het volgende nieuws: “Helft linkse kiezers wil immigratie beperken, maken zich vooral zorgen om opvangtekort en polarisatie”.

Spain has a new socialist government after its leader (and Prime Minister) made an amnesty deal with convicted separatists, hiding outside Spain. This new Spanish government will be a minority government. Spanish courts may, however, still block this political amnesty deal. Donald Trump has similar intentions: he hopes to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election and...
Until about a year ago, many articles claimed that China would surpass the USA as an (economic) SuperPower. I never believed those articles. China did and does not meet the SuperPower criteria. Today, many articles assume that USA may not be surpassed. I doubt that too. The Roman Empire was - probably - the first global empire. Alternatively, it was a multi-regional...
