Dutch 'anti-globalist' politician viciously attacked 2 days before election



The self-described "anti-globalist" leader of a Dutch populist party was assaulted two days ahead of the country's general election.

Thierry Baudet, the 40-year-old leader of the Forum for Democracy party, was at an election meeting in a Groningen cafe when a teen smashed him over the head with a beer bottle.

According to the party, the populist leader was "hit on the back of the head with a beer bottle and was also hit on the edge of his temple just next to his eye," and a security guard was also injured. Baudet was taken to a hospital, where he was treated by a trauma surgeon.

Footage of the incident shows an individual sneak up on Baudet, smash the former academic repeatedly in the head, then get tackled by security.

Following the attack, Baudet told the Dutch newspaper De Andere Krant that Antifa should be placed on the terror list.

"Now that it has become known that Antifa has claimed responsibility for the attack on me, we want Antifa to be immediately placed on the terror list. According to the [Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service], the greatest danger to our democracy is the so-called 'anti-institutional extremism', while left-wing activism is dismissed as a playful phenomenon," said Baudet.

Police spokesman Thijs de Jong suggested the attacker has been arrested and his motive is presently under investigation, reported the Washington Post.

Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte wrote on X that it was "totally unacceptable that Thierry Baudet has been attacked again. I said it before and I'll repeat it now: stay away from politicians."

Last month, Baudet was attacked by another radical while on his way to speak at a conservative event at Ghent University in Belgium. The attacker of Ukrainian origin, whom Belgian police indicated will be prosecuted for "intentional assault and battery," reportedly said "no to fascism, no to Putinism," after slugging Baudet over the head with a weighty umbrella.

Extra to his criticism of globalism, mass immigration, LGBT activism, the European Union, and NATO, Baudet has proven a controversial figure over his apparent refusal to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and corresponding suggestion that the conflict is the fault of the West.

Baudet said Tuesday he and his team are "working very had behind the scenes to analyze how this could happen a second time, and what we should do about it," reported the NL Times.

"They say three times is a charm, but I'll skip that," he added.

A Monday night poll indicated that the Forum for Democracy party, polling at 2%, stands to possibly take five seats in the 150-seat lower house of the Dutch Parliament. Rutte's VVD party, now led by Turkish-Kurdish refugee Dilan Yeşilgöz, is leading in the polls with 18%, reported Politico.

The right-wing populist Party for Freedom, run by Islam critic Geert Wilders, has seen significant gains in the polls in recent weeks and now sits at 16%, tied with the leftist GorenLinks-PvdA coalition.

Archaeologists unearth 4,000-year-old 'Stonehenge of the Netherlands,' discover first-of-its-kind ornament at burial ground



Archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old structure, which has been dubbed the "Stonehenge of the Netherlands." The site is said to be a first-of-its-kind discovery by experts because of a special ornament from thousands of miles away.

Dutch archaeologists announced this week that they had unearthed an ancient burial mound containing the remains of nearly 60 men, women, and children.

The Guardian reported, "Studying differences in clay composition and color, the scientists located three burial mounds on the excavations, a few miles from the banks of the Waal River."

The archaeologists believe that the historical site had been used as a solar calendar – much like Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle monument in Wiltshire, England.

The site was first discovered in November 2016 during construction at an industrial area in the town of Tiel, Netherlands. Since the initial discovery six years ago, archaeologists have reportedly excavated more than a million artifacts dating from the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Roman Empire, and the Middle Ages.

"The shrine must have been an important place," the town of Tiel stated in a Facebook post. "People kept special days of the year, performed rituals, and buried their dead. The shrine had been in use for 800 years."

"This sanctuary must have been a highly significant place where people kept track of special days in the year, performed rituals, and buried their dead. Rows of poles stood along pathways used for processions," the town said in a statement, according to Reuters.

Fox News reported, "The sanctuary was four soccer fields long in total and contains three burial mounds with the largest one being about 65 feet in diameter, which served as a 'kind of solar calendar.'"

The 4,000-year-old site had several passages, which allowed the sun to shine through. The "Stonehenge of the Netherlands," which is roughly 40 miles east of Rotterdam, aligned with the sun on the summer and winter solstices to inform locals of the longest and shortest days of the year.

"A person, for example, a priest or priestess, stood on the hill, which was flat on top and on which probably stood a large pole. The priest then viewed the position of the sun from the fixed point of the pole. There were more posts around the hill as markers. They helped the priest determine the exact time of the year, a spokesperson for the archaeologists told De Telegraaf, the largest newspaper in the Netherlands.

"On certain days the sun shone straight through those passages on the hill," the spokesperson said. "Just like in Stonehenge, where the sun shines through the stones on important days."

The town of Tiel said on Facebook, "In the places where the sun shone straight through the openings, archaeologists also found sacrifices."

On the burial site, archaeologists discovered animal skeletons, human skulls, and valuable items. Archaeologists found a bronze spearhead and a single glass bead in the grave of a woman. The bead is significant, since it is likely from thousands of miles away, and experts believe the bead is the oldest one ever found in the Netherlands.

Chief researcher Cristian van der Linde said the glass bead is from Mesopotamia – present-day Iraq, approximately 3,000 miles away from the burial site in the Netherlands.

"Glass was not made here, so the bead must have been a spectacular item, as for people then it was an unknown material," said Stijn Arnoldussen, a professor at the University of Groningen.

"Things were already being exchanged in those times," Arnoldussen said. "The bead may have been above ground for hundreds of years before it reached Tiel, but of course, it didn’t have to be."

The statement from Tiel said, "This is the first time a site like this has been discovered in the Netherlands."

Some of the ancient artifacts will be showcased in a local museum in Tiel and at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded group trying to bury video of twisted interviews with little kids about sex and masturbation: 'Do you play with your ****?'



A Dutch organization funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is facing scrutiny over one of its videos featuring children as young as four being asked wildly inappropriate questions about sex and masturbation.

While the Rutgers Foundation is desperately trying to deep-six the video, the right-wing Dutch populist party Forum voor Democratie has drawn attention to its contents in an effort to expose what the group is really up to, reported Reduxx.

Rutgers, like Planned Parenthood in the U.S., claims to be in the business of educating and supporting young people in sexual matters but also advocates for gender ideology and abortion appreciation in schools with the help of other activist groups.

The group states on its website, "We want young people to be free to enjoy their sexuality and relationships, while respecting the rights of others in an inclusive society," admitting to advocating "for progressive language and norm-setting on sexuality education."

Rutgers kicked off an initiative targeting children on March 20 called "What do I like?" as part of a national "Spring Jitters Week" campaign to expand sexual education in primary schools.

"Learning about your body, talking about what you like and a positive self-image. This is the focus this year during the Week of Spring Jitters, an annual project week about relationships, sexuality and resilience in special and primary education," Rutgers wrote on its project page. "We want to make children think about what they like and teach them to express their wishes."

"When children in primary education learn about their bodies, relationships and sexuality from a positive message, they know better what they like and what they don't like," said Elsbeth Reitzema, a so-called sex education expert at Rutgers.

Atlantic staff writer Olga Khazan cited Reitzema and her work with Rutgers in an article last year in an effort to stand up her argument that contrary to the claims of conservatives, parental groups, and Republicans, talking to kids about graphic sex acts wasn't a matter of "grooming them to be abused by pedophiles."

Rutgers, along with Khazan's model sex-educator, went into Dutch elementary schools again this spring to provide children with an understanding of sexuality and sex acts from an early age so that they can be "better able to communicate ... their wishes and limits and learn to treat each other more respectfully."

According to Rutgers, "When children of primary school age reach out about sexuality, the conversations most often revolve around making love, fingering and jerking off, the first time, masturbation and kissing."

The teacher-facing page for the initiative contains various videos to show kids, including "giving permission for children" and "first times - cumming."

The specific video that piqued the interest of Dutch anti-groomer groups was entitled "Wat vind ik fijn," or "What do I like?"

Reduxx reported that the video features children as young as four being asked about their sexual proclivities.

In one scene, a 6-year-old boy named Loek appears alongside his gay guardians, one of whom asks, "Do you like it when someone is petting you?"

The boy shakes his head no, then the adult male asks, "And what about being tickled?"

After the boy answers in the affirmative, the man says, "Oh, we'll have to do that every night then before you sleep."

In another scene, a woman talks to a 9-year-old girl about ejaculation and the "nice feeling" she can attain via orgasm. The adult then describes the various parts of female genitalia to the little girl, emphasizing that she will get a "very nice feeling" from rubbing her "little button."

"You can rub it with your finger," stressed the woman.

A 4-year-old boy is pressed about his masturbation routine in another scene.

His alleged mother, asks him, "What about you? Do you ever play with your dick? Do you ever touch your willie?" ... How does that feel? And when do you do that?"

Despite the boy's confusion, the mother lays in with additional questions: "Do you do that when we're eating? ... Why don't you do that in class?"

Another little boy is told in the video to refer to sex as "f***ing or sucking."

The video was reportedly taken down just 24 hours after it appeared on Twitter. Rutgers claimed it had removed the video because it had been taken "out of context."

"Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of fake news and misinformation ... going around at the moment," tweeted Rutgers. "We have also just taken a video offline, in which parents are talking to their child. The topics covered in the video are: learning about your body, talking about what you like and setting boundaries."

"We find that the video is being taken out of context by some people online and used to spread misinformation," wrote the organization, citing protection of the children involved as cause.

The right-wing populist part FVD spoke out against both Rutgers' initiative and its video in late March, calling the "sexualization and indoctrination" of children "disgusting."

\u201cJaarlijks ontvangt de Rutgers Stichting miljoenensubsidies voor de 'Week van de Lentekriebels'. Wat gebeurt er met al dat belastinggeld?\n\nOp basisscholen krijgen kinderen vanaf 4 (!) jaar deze hele week te maken met seksualisering en indoctrinatie. Walgelijk. #FVD #lentekriebels\u2026\u201d
— Forum voor Democratie (@Forum voor Democratie) 1679409114

Recognizing that Rutgers' deleted video was revelatory of the group's alleged sexualization of young children, FVD reposted the video to its own YouTube channel with the title, "Deleted video. Shocking sexualization of young children."

According to the Dutch publication Algemeen Dagblad, an FVD spokesman suggested in a voice-over at the end of the video that it was "obvious Rutgers feels caught" and is doing everything it can "to cover [its] dirty tracks," adding that it was matter of public interest to disclose what elementary-school children were being subjected to.

Rutgers reportedly attempted to get the video taken off YouTube, stating, "The parents and children have not given Forum permission to publish the images."

Reduxx reported the sex group is now threatening to sue the FVD unless the video is taken down. At the time of publication, the video was still on YouTube.

TheBlaze recently detailed Tucker Carlson's claims in his most recent Twitter video concerning the apparent societal effort to normalize child sexualization.

"One by one, with increasing speed, our old taboos have been struck down. Those that remain have lost their moral force. Stealing, flaunting your wealth, striking women, smoking marijuana on the street, shameless public hypocrisy, taking other people's money for not working — all of these things" were previously viewed as "unacceptable in America," Carlson said. "Not anymore."

Carlson emphasized that child molestation is now "teetering on the edge of acceptability."
