German politics are changing fast. “The Germany that most of us have known all our lives is about to change in radical and unpre- dictable ways,” wrote Evans-Pritchard. Germans are weary of weak leadership. They are desperate for a change. Many are looking for a strongman! They want someone with brawn and backbone to rise up and lead the nation—and Europe—out of this malaise. This is critically important. A new strong German leader is one of the key Bible prophe- cies for the end time. We should watch closely for such a man to emerge from this political mess. Herbert W. Armstrong warned for decades about the arrival of such a leader. European nations are becoming “distrustful of America and thinking more and more about uniting themselves into a united states of Europe,” he wrote in March 1950. To do that, they need a “new supreme leader—the successor of Adolf Hitler—to rise up and assert himself and take command.” I have continued this same warning since the Trumpet magazine’s earliest issues. “If a real crisis develops, will the Germans call for a new führer?” I asked in our December 1991 issue. “Your Bible says that is going to hap- pen! That crisis will probably be triggered by an economic collapse in the U.S.” 2 THE PHILADELPHIA TRUMPET | JULY 2021 What Will Happen After Trump Regains Power Bible prophecy shows that he will return to office to stop some of the destruction being caused by the current administration.

Bij peilingen (steekproefonderzoek) moet rekening gehouden worden met onnauwkeurigheids- marges. Voor VVD (21,0%, marge 1,6%) en D66 (11,8%, marge 1,3%) zijn dat (ruim) 2 zetels. De verschuiving voor D66 is statistisch significant, die voor VVD en PvdA zijn dat nipt. Als we naar deze zetelpeiling kijken – 2 dagen voor de verkiezingen – valt op hoezeer hij lijkt op de uitslag van de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2017. Van de winst die de VVD boekte in de coronacrisis is niets over: nu 33 zetels, vier jaar geleden ook 33 zetels.

  • JA21 VERKIEZINGSPROGRAMMA 2021-2025 Het Juiste Antwoord VOORWOORD
    JA21 VERKIEZINGSPROGRAMMA 2021-2025 Het Juiste Antwoord VOORWOORD Net als velen van u zou ik nergens liever willen leven dan hier. Ons mooie land heeft een gigantisch potentieel. We zijn innovatief, nuchter, hardwer- kend, trots op wie we zijn en gezegend met een indrukwekkende geschie- denis en een gezonde handelsgeest. Een Nederland dat Nederland durft te zijn is tot ongekende prestaties in staat. Al sinds de komst van Pim Fortuyn in 2002 laten miljoenen kiezers weten dat het op de grote terreinen van misdaad, migratie, het functioneren van de publieke sector en Europa anders moet. Nederland zal in een uitdijend en oncontroleerbaar Europa meer voor zichzelf moeten kiezen en vertrouwen en macht moeten terugleggen bij de kiezer. Maar keer op keer krijgen rechtse kiezers geen waar voor hun stem. Wie rechts stemt krijgt daar immigratierecords, een steeds verder uitdijende overheid, stijgende lasten, een verstikkend ondernemersklimaat, afschaffing van het referendum en een onbetaalbaar en irrationeel klimaatbeleid voor terug die ten koste gaan van onze welvaart en ons woongenot. Ons programma is een realistische conservatief-liberale koers voor ieder- een die de schouders onder Nederland wil zetten. Positieve keuzes voor een welvarender, veiliger en herkenbaarder land waarin we criminaliteit keihard aanpakken, behouden wat ons bindt en macht terughalen uit Europa. Met een overheid die er voor de burgers is en goed weet wat ze wel, maar ook juist niet moet doen. Een land waarin we hart hebben voor wie niet kan, maar hard zullen zijn voor wie niet wil. Wij zijn er klaar voor. Samen met onze geweldige fracties in de Eerste Kamer, het Europees Parlement en de Amsterdamse gemeenteraad én met onze vertegenwoordigers in de Provinciale Staten zullen wij na 17 maart met grote trots ook uw stem in de Tweede Kamer gaan vertegenwoordigen.

  • Verantwoording New Food Kieswijzer 23 Februari 2021
    Verantwoording New Food Kieswijzer 23 februari 2021 De New Food Kieswijzer vat voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen 2021 de standpunten samen van politieke partijen over het thema voedseltransitie, specifiek de transitie naar minder dierlijke en meer plantaardige of gekweekte eiwitten. Ook maken we inzichtelijk hoe de kiezers van de verschillende partijen over dit thema denken. Om de New Food Kieswijzer samen te stellen is grondig gekeken naar partijstandpunten, verkiezingsprogramma's en kiezersonderzoek. Kiezersonderzoek Allereerst is door Kieskompas in opdracht van ProVeg uitgezocht hoe de Nederlandse kiezer denkt over vleesconsumptie en de transitie naar minder dierlijk voedsel. Dit is gedaan middels een representatieve enquête. Op basis hiervan selecteerden wij 10 stellingen waarvoor draagvlak is onder een meerderheid (50% of meer) van alle Nederlanders. We brachten ook in kaart hoe kiezers van de verschillende partijen over deze stellingen dachten. Aan dit onderzoek deden 8575 mensen mee uit het panel van Kieskompas. De resultaten zijn gewogen naar geslacht, leeftijd, opleiding, etniciteit en stemgedrag zodat de data ten aanzien van al deze kenmerken representatief zijn voor de stemgerechtigde inwoners van Nederland. De partijvoorkeur van kiezers baseert Kieskompas op de partij waarop deelnemers in de enquête aangaven gestemd te hebben tijdens de laatste Tweede Kamerverkiezingen, in 2017. In het panel zaten helaas niet genoeg kiezers van de partijen DENK en BIJ1 om betrouwbare data op te leveren. Hierdoor konden de voorkeuren van deze kiezers niet in kaart gebracht worden. In het onderzoeksrapport is meer te lezen over de precieze uitkomsten, en vind je ook verdere achtergronden: over de motivatie van kiezers, welke kwantitatieve doelstellingen zij vinden dat de overheid moet nastreven en of de overheid zich wel mag bemoeien met ons eten.

  • Aligning the Interests of Dutch Politics and Dutch Businesses in the Use of Artificial Intelligence
    Aligning the interests of Dutch politics and Dutch businesses in the use of artificial intelligence Author: Hidde Zijlstra University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The NetherlAnds ABSTRACT, Businesses implement artificial intelligence for a competitive advantage; therefore, their influence increases. At the same time, little is known on the risks of artificial intelligence, keeping legislators in the dark. This thesis investigates the alignment of goals of Dutch businesses and Dutch politics regarding AI via structured literature research. The results show that businesses need to extend their cooperation beyond immediate economic advantages and that Dutch politics lack the knowledge and required to comprehend the subject of artificial intelligence fully. Due to the research of election programmes, only one source of political opinions was used. Further research could investigate opinions of political parties in more depth, validate the current results, and research the feasibility of the recommendations made.
