The hate preacher of the far right, Geert Wilders, has just been elected Politician of the Year, by a demographically representative sample of 37.000. The wonder boy of the political left, Jesse Klaver, is applauding him for it, live on screen.

Bits of Freedom slapped the Dutch Police on the wrist for carrying their own worn little law book in their pocket; that of local habits, decency & respect.

''Chad Bilyeu, an African American photographer who has been living in Amsterdam for six years, says he wasn’t surprised by the NRC article, and in general, is no longer shocked by blatant racism in mainstream Dutch media because of the lack of diversity among the Dutch professional class.''
I’ve worked in a high skilled position in the Netherlands and the level of integration is pitifully low. You’re working at [places like] NRC and you don’t have black colleagues. There aren’t any Turkish people. There aren’t any Moroccans. You have a very small community that’s usually overlooked by the status quo.  There’s no Dutch Ta-Nehisi Coates. There’s no Dutch Neil Degrasse Tyson, There’s no Dutch Cornel West. If they do exist, they are marginalized and their voices are not taken seriously. There’s no editor who’s gonna say, hey, maybe we shouldn’t use n—– in the title.”

METRO: ”Onno Hoes abuses his power in the hunt for young men. The mayor ‘shamelessly’ goes about. After offering them a drink, he grabs them in the crotch.” 


According to witnesses that mostly happens in bars owned by friends of his, who turn a blind eye.

Mayor Onno Hoes is singing the Maastricht Anthem with his friends from the Templar Society, aka de Tempeleers. Onno is their Patron. 

Two of these Templars, Frans Buytendijk (behind the Mayor's right shoulder) and Peter Reijnders (last frame, far right) are Detective and Police Commissioner respectively and they are directly connected to police file 
2006145758, which became the blueprint of the copy and paste methods at the Bisschopsingel Bureau. With the purpose of putting citizens down.

On the same day that UN Human Rights Rapporteur Philip Alston told The Netherlands to stop treating refugees like criminals and start abiding by international laws, the city council here in Maastricht elected that very person who was responsible for police file 2007170431  - former Chief DA Annemarie Penn - as the new Mayor of Maastricht.

The University issued the cause of death, shortly after Thijs Eberson (22) had been found lifeless in the Circumflex Fraternity House, November 2012: ''narrowed oesophagus''. He allegedly choked on his own vomit. Not the Police, but Maastricht University took care of all communications regarding Thijs' death. No mention of an autopsy.


The question is still quite relevant today: which information led to this remarkable medical conclusion? MU's Answer: ''No Comment''.

The defendant remained silent, so the DA tried something else. He called the defendant’s lawyer to the witness stand, by subpoena.

Verdict in the infamous storehouse murder. 24 years jail time. Most remarkable thing: Guido Kosterman's tortured body was found in the garden behind the storage place. That happens to be the garden of a student house. Bilserbaan 59.

The City of Maastricht is using a track-and-trace app to follow students in a survey that monitors travel behaviour. Project leader Katya Ivanova made the students an offer they can't refuse, 600 euros, in return for their signature, thus making the whole thing legit.

And this week municipal officers started knocking on the doors of 500 student houses. They will step inside for what they call a general inspection. Is cooperating voluntary? I wonder what happens if the students just don't let them in?

Disrespect is a fundamental right, Charlie Hebdo took it to the limit. Europe took to the streets after the attack on the magazine, basically to defend that very right to mock and insult.

The Limburger adopted the Je Suis Charlie sign and took a stand pro freedom of press. But the readers are confused. A couple of years ago, cartoonist Ruben Oppenheimer was fired because he didn't abide by the newspaper's philosophy of ''keeping the church in the middle'', as the editor, Huub Paulissen, put it in an e-mail to the cartoonist.

Cartoons about the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church were censored, one after another. Considered too disrespectful here in the South. 

By the way, not a single person started a protest when Oppenheimer was terminated.

The dust of the Bits of Freedom Awards barely settled, NOS reporting that the Government is still tapping lawyers.
