2017, Saturday the
11th of February. While a picture, with frustrated old women
comments, appears in one of the "expats" facebook groups
the sawdust maker follows, for reason of the sometimes useful
information and the daily dose of irony, of a scantily clad beautiful
dark lassy with enviable buttocks, the Japanese Prime Minister wakes
up from a nightmare, while his cramped hand still goes up and down,
after the encounter with the Boar of the Pig Paradise, the promised
castles in the sky, from different parties, in the battle for the
Dutch Prime Ministership passed by the Central Planning Bureau (the
Dutch institution that calculates thru all gouvernment plans). Like
most right oriented Governments in today's Europe, Mark Rutte, the
still by his mother ironed shirts bearing Prime Minister of the low
lands, tries to convince the people with his economic rhetoric
stories. Basically he does nothing but deny his own election program
that, now the figures behind the proposed arrangements are known,
wants people living on a national assistance benefit to have even
less to spend. Also the foreign aid, under pressure from the populist
wind, in his plans diminishes to almost non to nothing. Even more
significant is that the holiday money for people on state benefits
will be abolished, it’s an annual amount that is used by many
families to pay the bills that, by living below the poverty line, are
pushed forward in time. Just like the mentally disturbed dictator in
America, the truth isn’t very popular at the party of the current
Prime Minister and that’s probably why he is doing everything to
get fundings out of the public broadcasting, being one of the few
channels in the media where journalists still work independently of
shareholders and the political views of the CEO or Board of
Directors. Furthermore, they want the lamp posts at highways to burn
all night again, with which the urgency they feel in respect of
climate policy becomes visible in a single proposal. Camouflaging
your own ideas to look less selfish, the drive to moderate
lobby-obtained ideas into in fairytale speeches in which good and
evil are simplified to black and white and just laugh and look away
at serious problems are the talents that lie behind the Dutch Prime
Ministers maskarade. His underlying agenda differs but little from
that, right extremists racist radical message, and perhaps is a
greater threat to a social society than any populist politicians will
ever be. Just like the comments that appeared under the secretly-made
picture of a unsuspecting girl, that confidently walks around in a
society full of know-it-alls moralists, demonstrate the learned and
imposed standards and values of disrespecting everyone who dares to
step on the black stripes of a zebra crossing, used as an excuse for
unbridled sexist and especially frustrated statements, politicians,
like Mark Rutte, eager to make use of metaphorical fairytales to become
the wolf at grandmother's bed. The innocence of little Red Riding
Hood is, according to him, not so obvious, if only because she wore a
pink pantyhose...
