De splitsing van Belgie in de buitenlandse pers

Een paar verhelderende en/of humoristische opinies over de aanslepende regeringsvorming uit de buitenlandse pers:

The Economist

The Sydney Morning Herald 

Bad idea…

Hopelijk blijven we hiervan gespaard in Belgie en kunnen we eindelijk eens tegengewicht beginnen bieden aan de myte dat de aarde opwarmt door CO2 die door menselijke activiteit uitgestoten wordt.

Wanneer gaat de links-groene lobby, die Al Gore tot hun grote idool verheven hebben na zijn Inconvenient Truth, nu eindelijk de ware incovenient truth eens inzien, namelijk dat er ook zoiets bestaat bv. als zonne-activiteit en CO2 uitgestoten door oceanen en het feit dat global warming een miljarden business is geworden, gebaseerd op wetenschappelijk niet onderbouwde argumenten.

Sire, er zijn geen Belgen meer

74 days after the election and still no government in Belgium and all of this because the Walloon party CdH refuses to agree splitting Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde, something the highest court in Belgium ruled has to be done.

The result of this “play” that evolved the last 2,5 months is nothing else than a display of utter disrespect to the Belgian voters and Belgian law. As every good play, this story has is own comic relief, personified by the king who is being flown in and out from his holiday resort to mend the pieces back together.

The conclusion of this giant joke is simple: There is no more democracy, there are no more Belgians… there is no more Belgium.

Jeremy Clarkson for prime minister of Belgium

Since Belgian politicians seem to be unable to decide who’s going to be the next prime minister and what plan the next government will execute, I vote for adopting Jeremy Clarkson and making him prime minister of Belgium if the petition for putting him in that spot is no success in th UK. A petrolhead as prime minister in Belgium, maybe my faith in politics could be restored afterall

Wikipedia

That the CIA is involved laundering drug money through major Wall Street banks and is making sure opium plants in Afghanistan flourish more than ever, is already carefully documented. With the power they have, they are even able to control the media to some extend and try and cover things up.

Apparently the CIA (and the Vatican) also found a way to conveniently alter information on Wikipedia but got caught red-handed.
