🧵👇Let's play a game.
I'm climbing down the family tree of William of Orange, 1 generation at the time, and I want you to guess a famous Dutch politician that is related to him. The politician is currently active.
We're starting with William the Silent (24 April 1533 – 10 July 1584), (translated from Dutch: Willem de Zwijger), or, more commonly in the Netherlands, William of Orange (Dutch: Willem van Oranje)
He was the main leader of the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces in 1648.
Born into the House of Nassau, he became Prince of Orange in 1544 and is thereby the founder of the Orange-Nassau branch and the ancestor of the monarchy of the Netherlands. (officially)
John VI was born in Dillenburg, the second son of William I and his second wife Juliane of Stolberg-Wernigerode and brother of William of Orange. He was the principal author of the Union of Utrecht.
The Union of Utrecht (Dutch: Unie van Utrecht) was a treaty signed on 23 January 1579 in Utrecht, Netherlands, unifying the northern provinces of the Netherlands, until then under the control of Habsburg Spain.
John VI was married three times and had a total of 24 children: He married, firstly, Elisabeth von Leuchtenberg, daughter of Georg Landgraf von Leuchtenberg, in 1559.
He gained the title of Graf von Nassau-Dillenburg.
Mathilde von Nassau was born 27 December 1570 in Dillenburg to Johann VI. von Nassau-Dillenburg (1535-1606) and Elisabeth von Leuchtenberg (1537-1579) and died 10 May 1625.

I'm going to leave it here first. If you know which famous Dutch politician's ancestry this is, leave a comment.
Ok. Let's continue...
A lot of you got it right.

ancestry.ca/genealogy/reco…
Han is the father of Marcel Baudet, born in 1951 who is a principal teacher of piano at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Stoke d'Abernon, Surrey, England, but already since 1980, he was a regular visitor to the school. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi_Me…
For nearly thirty years, Marcel Baudet was professor at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague and the Amsterdam Conservatory. Marcel Baudet is the father of Thierry Henri Phillipe Baudet, who was born in 1983.
They mainly focus on his paternal line as you can see here, but as we just found out, his maternal lines are much much more interesting. Those lines connect Thierry Baudet to the House of Orange. Given all this, meet the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

🧵👇Neil Armstrong
We will start with his “missions”. Apollo 11 and Gemini 8. Aces and eights, as usual.
I have a problem with that photo of Neil Armstrong as an ensign in 1952. Don't they teach these kids to sit up straight? No, seriously. It doesn't look like a real military photo, because the photographer would have told him to sit up straight before taking the picture.

🧵👇In 2017, Italian director Massimo Mazzucco released the film American Moon, proving once again the Apollo missions were faked.
bitchute.com/video/eZramDBF…
This film is basically a large expansion of the previous 2001 FoxNews film Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Both use Bill Kaysing's book We Never Went to the Moon as a starting point, but American Moon takes it even further than Kaysing did, adding much new research.
Although I agree that we never went to the Moon, I have always found it curious that a Rocketdyne employee would blow the cover of the project, and that FoxNews would later give his argument legs. After watching American Moon twice, I think I have finally solved that problem.

🧵👇Mark Twain
I have touched on Mark Twain many times over the past couple of years, always giving him a pass. He was a talented person, after all, and I tend to look less harshly on spooks who add something interesting to the mix.
The first thing I saw that got me thinking was a picture of Twain with the humorists Billings and Nasby. He looks very small. Google now lists him as 5'9”, but it is clear from the picture he is many inches shorter than that, with narrow shoulders.

🧵👇Sherlock Holmes
I have no intention of ruining the stories for you, I hope. I have read them over and over since I was a boy, and have enjoyed the old BBC TV adaptations even more in some ways, perhaps.
Certainly Jeremy Brett's brilliant embodiment of Holmes shall never be bettered, and some of the episodes are equally well directed.

🧵👇The Space Shuttle program was another massive fraud upon the taxpayers, doing nothing taxpayers wished to see done, little or nothing that needed to be done, and few or none of the things we are told they did.
Each shuttle launch cost almost $2 billion. Over $200 billion was spent on the program over three decades, and what do we have to show for it? Some museum pieces. A handful of chubby planes that never got out of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and that haven't morphed into more useful tech
We now know that the Apollo program was an even more massive fraud, and that no one ever went to the Moon. That is what I would call common knowledge, although the governors wish it weren't, and pretend it isn't so.

🧵👇John Major
I never knew much about John Major—certainly never studied his bio for sense. But guess what? There isn't any. And then there is the curious fact that John Major is not his real name.
Wikipedia tells us his father is named Tom Major-Ball, but Geni contradicts that, telling us his father was Abraham Thomas Ball, with only a stagename of Tom Major. So why is Wikipedia giving us the alias or stagename of the father of a Prime Minister as his real name?
Doesn't that seem highly suspicious to you? And why would the Prime Minister of the UK be allowed to use a stage name? It reminds us of Stalin and Lenin and Hitler, who also existed under codenames or stagenames.
