The Netherlands has kept up a great image forever. But the past decade a lot of things are happening over there that are worrysome. I will make one thread with news articles so you can read yourself what is going on.

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.
👇🏻
THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

Dutch Court rules that the government illegally tapped journalist @010fotograaf. And it happened more than once.

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS

Nurses and other healthcare providers in the Netherlands are working under enormous pressure and, in their own words "are happy when they go home after a shift and nobody died"

Beautiful American student #SarahPapenheim was murdered in the Netherlands in 2018 by her roommate.

He only got 6 years in jail and her mother said that the verdict hurt more than losing her daughter 💔😢

The BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THE NETHERLANDS OF 2019 (and maybe 2020 too) are the illegal activities of the Dutch tax authorities: "Belastingdienst".

They have been going after innocent citizens for years using illegal methods only to ruin people's lives

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

Dutch Court rules more mildly in criminal cases with "asylum seekers" so that they do not lose their status and residence permit. In this case this was an Afghan man who raped a girl.

THE NETHERLANDS has had a shortage of 750+ medications for many years. Many people are suffering because their medication is not available.

(A meds importer once told me it is bc NL doesn't want to pay the price of the meds like others will)

👇🏻

THE NETHERLANDS, the country where your daily life gets more expensive with each year that passes: in 20 years 45%(!) more expensive!😳

Why? because TAXES on EVERYTHING including 21%(!) sales tax + even 9% tax on essentials like fruits & vegetables.

👇🏻

While we might think otherwise, The Netherlands is also a human rights violator in many ways.

Like the Wealth Tax that they ask from citizens is against the European Human Rights apparently 🤔.. in meantime they still demand Dutch citizens to pay.

👇🏻

telegraaf.nl/nieuws/1854727…
In the Netherlands you are not sure anymore if you can die in your own home with dignity and peace... because those d#mn insurance companies.

THE NETHERLANDS:
For 5 years dutch opposite party leader @geertwilderspvv
has been in court regarding a
Freedom of Speech accusation. It kept him busy so he could not do much else.

Turns out political people influenced the prosecutor to prosecute.😳
👇🏻

On 1 June 2005 the Netherlands held a (consultative) referendum to decide whether the government should ratify the proposed Constitution of the European Union. The result was a "No"-vote.

They ratified it anyway.( and later on demolished the referendum)

People in the Netherlands always say that their healthcare is so great, and the healthcare in USA is the worst.

Why do so many Dutch people want to go to the USA for treatment then?🤔

Because healthcare in the USA is amazing and much more advanced!

👇🏻

THE NETHERLANDS

The healthcare system in NL is not great(compared to 15 years ago.) It has become a commercial activity disguising itself as a "social" system.

Patients AND people working in health care are suffering both physically and financially.

👇🏻
ad.nl/gezond/slecht-…
THE NETHERLANDS:

WAS a country with a social healthcare system accessible & fair to all who are eligible. with focus on well-being of patient.

And now IS a country with a commercial healthcare system where money comes first and people second.

👇🏻

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS

TAX HAVEN for international companies like Uber + many celebrities who avoid taxes (in the USA) by going "off-shore" through the Netherlands.

American AND Dutch citizens have to make up for the lack of taxes paid by them.

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS

Remember the #Toeslagenaffaire #afpakjesdag & #zwartlakken in 2019?

In 2020, the Dutch Tax authorities (#Belastingdienst) will continue their shady lawless behavior. #NeverForget the innocent people they hurt on purpose.

👇🏻
THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

A dutch Court kept NOS journalist @robertpbas hostage, threw him in jail because he refused to testify in a case he was covering😳

"straatterreur en de staatsterreur" mr. Bas calls it, he decided to move to another country.

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

More stabbing incidents. Incidents with kids under 16 years old are increasing.😳

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

The government supported terror groups and Jihadists ( incl. Jabhat al-Shamiya) by giving them more than 25 Million Euros worth of cars, medication, food etc. Resulting in human rights being extremely violated over there.😳

👇🏻

The Netherlands has had an issue with the train system for years. One little snowflake➡️ All trains are delayed.

The NS rail needs an investment of 1 billion Euros to fix the train system for the future "extreme weather conditions". Who gonna pay? 🙄
👇🏻
THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

A NARCOSTATE. 6 out of 10 Dutch people believe so.

Organized crime (including what they call "MocroMaffia"), production and sale of drugs, and killings of innocent people like lawyer Derk Wiersum. 😳

👇🏻

THIS IS THE NETHERLANDS.

It used to be a country where women felt safe. Not anymore. 44% of women feel unsafe (at night), and 3 out of 4 have experienced some kind of harassment 😢

telegraaf.nl/nieuws/3901137…
THE NETHERLANDS: a place where you think you can drink the "clean" water from the tap, but actually you might be drinking lead (and other toxins, residues and chemicals) like in Amsterdam.

Sorry Kim, there are enough problems in the USA already for you to worry about a dutch tradition that has nothing to do with racism.

We are frankly tired of people calling everything racism these days.
The 2 guys (1 immigrant from Ghana) mentioned in this old article founded "Kick Out Zwarte Piet". For years they tried to ignite tension in a country that used to be peaceful & happy by ruining a Dutch tradition that is for ALL kids no matter your color
google.com/amp/s/www.alja…
For @KimKardashian to retweet an old article (2018) on the day that Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet arrive in the Netherlands results in nothing but putting oil on the fire to create more tension in the Netherlands. 🙄

Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet bring joy to ALL kids. Leave them alone!

[#Thread] 1/ This one is on #Iraq. A few people mentioned suspicious activity on Twitter and I had a look into a few hashtags. One in particular begins, "Show your support for the right of Iraq people to protest peacefully". I have little doubt there is an influence campaign...
2/ First, I just want to say this is not a commentary on Iraqi politics in general. I am not an Iraq expert, but I am interested in online opinion manipulation or campaigns. What follows is an analysis of tweets only...
3/I analysed about 16,700 tweets, replies, retweets from the hashtag I mentioned in Tweet 1. These tweets were produced by around 6,500 unique accounts. Most of the tweets were quite crude, and looked like what you see below, full of hashtags, some describing a 'revolution'>

#Thread Family Doctors (Primary Care) Vs Speciality Care in #India
A few weeks ago, in response to a different thread ( ) there was a comment from @spinesurgeon that we need family physicians. (1/31)
Another comment in that thread by @VaradhKrish referred to the issue of patients going directly to specialists, bypassing primary care doctors. (2/31)
The problem of patients going to specialists directly, rather than to primary care/family doctors first and then being referred by them to specialists is one that requires a more in-depth analysis. (3/31)

#Thread Bashing this aunties lies about Rig Veda.

Does offering of beef was common in Rig Veda times ?

Please RT this mass.
@squintneon
1) Her 1st lie, Tribals and Bengals of Tripura doesnt eat Beef.

EVEN TRIBALS DONT EAT BEEF.

Even Muslims of Tripura eat pork.
Pork is a stable meat after chicken here

Added two SS of swiggy.
When I mentioned Beef they suggested me veg dish. 🤣
2)Commie news papers claims that During Rig veda people used to offer Beef !!

This is completely false. There is no mention or no proof of their claims.

Killing cows doesnt even mention in the chronicles of ancient travellers too.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Are You Planning To Give Up?
Most of d important things in d world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying wen there seemed to be no hope at all. You do what U can for as long as U can & wen U finally can't U do d next best thing.

1/19 #Thread
#ThursdayThoughts
When U’re pursuing a worthwhile goal, it’s almost inevitable that at some point you'll think 1/more of these:
-This is harder than I thought it would be.
-Why is dis taking so long?
-I'm getting nowhere with dis.
-I keep failing at dis goal.
-I can’t do dis; What was I thinking?
...And when you do have one or more of these thoughts, it’s very likely that you will want to give up. When that happens, remember to come back to this #Thread to stop yourself from quitting.
Follow it through...
