  • Profiel Diederik Boomsma Parool 12 Juli 2011
    Het Parool dinsdag 12 juli 2011 Bekeerd tot de Heer en rechts BAS SOETENHORST Zelfverklaard conservatief Diederik Boomsma is een bezienswaardigheid in de politiek. Het CDA-duoraadslid timmert driftig aan de weg. 'Hertenvlees is puur biologisch.' Marijke Shahsavari worstelde vorig jaar langdurig met een stem vóór of tegen de gedoogconstructie met de PVV. "Ik ben getrouwd met een man wiens ouders zijn gevlucht voor het regime in Iran," zei de fractievoorzitter van het Amsterdamse CDA in deze krant. "Mijn kinderen groeien op met een islamitische achternaam. Wat betekent dat voor ze? Dat zijn heftige vragen." Tegen heug en meug koos ze voor regeringsdeelname. De Amsterdamse CDA'er Diederik Boomsma (Leiderdorp, 1978) had er minder moeite mee, al had het regeer- en gedoogakkoord van hem wel een vleug rechtser gekund. "Het gaat mij in veel opzichten niet ver genoeg, maar dit is wel een stap op weg naar een samenleving waar mensen minder afhankelijk zijn van de overheid," zei hij in De Groene Amsterdammer. De politieke stijl van Geert Wilders is 'onbeschoft', maar dat maakt zijn analyse van de problemen niet minder waar, aldus Boomsma in hetzelfde blad: 'Natuurlijk zijn er veel moslims die niet beantwoorden aan hoe Wilders de islam schetst. Maar: is het de meerderheid die geschiedenis schrijft? Misschien een wat oneerbiedige vergelijking, maar er waren natuurlijk talloze Vikingen die thuisbleven en níet de wereld over reisden voor moord- en roofpartijen. Wie heeft het nu nog over hen?' Diederik Boomsma (33) is duo-raadslid, een functie bedoeld om kleine fracties (het CDA heeft twee zetels) te ontlasten. Hij mag het woord voeren in raadscommissies, waar fractiespecialisten vergaderen met collegeleden.

Chef van de redactie buitenland was dr. Anton Constandse. Van 1946 tot en met 1948 had ik de opleiding voor de diplomatieke dienst gevolgd van het Nederlands Opleidings Instituut voor het Buitenland (NOIB) op Nijenrode. Van 1948 tot en met 1950 volgde ik op het Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut, de studie Political Science and International Relations. Inmiddels 25 jaar geworden twijfelde ik steeds meer aan een leven als ambtenaar van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. Was ik niet een te vrijgevochten en te zelfstandig denkende vogel om zonder tegensputteren of mokken braaf Haagse opdrachten uit te voeren waar ik het wellicht faliekant mee oneens zou zijn? Van een dergelijke incompatibilité d'humeurs zou immers alleen maar gedonder kunnen komen. Op het Yale College had ik in dit verband al het een en ander meegemaakt. In 1949 was ik tot praeses van de Yale International Club gekozen, een organisatie voor de in New Haven studerende buitenlandse studenten.

    Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Citation: AVI v MHVB, 2020 ABQB 489 Date: 20200826 Docket: FL03 55142 Registry: Edmonton Between: AVI Applicant and MHVB Respondent and Jacqueline Robinson, a.k.a. Jacquie Phoenix Third Party and Unauthorized Alleged Representative _______________________________________________________ Memorandum of Decision of the Honourable Mr. Justice Robert A. Graesser _______________________________________________________ I. Introduction [1] Pseudolaw is a collection of spurious legally incorrect ideas that superficially sound like law, and purport to be real law. In layman’s terms, pseudolaw is pure nonsense. [2] Pseudolaw is typically employed by conspiratorial, fringe, criminal, and dissident minorities who claim pseudolaw replaces or displaces conventional law. These groups attempt to Page: 2 gain advantage, authority, and other benefits via this false law. In Meads v Meads, 2012 ABQB 571 [Meads], Associate Chief Justice Rooke reviewed many forms of and variations on pseudolaw that have been deployed in Canada. In his decision, he described populations and personalities that use these ideas, and explained how these “Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument” [“OPCA”] concepts are legally false and universally rejected by Canadian courts. Rooke ACJ concluded OPCA strategies are instead scams promoted to gullible, ill-informed, and often greedy individuals by unscrupulous “guru” personalities. Employing pseudolaw is always an abuse of court processes, and warrants immediate court response: Unrau v National Dental Examining Board, 2019 ABQB 283 at paras 180, 670-671 [Unrau #2]. [3] To date Canada has weathered two waves of pseudolaw. In the 2000 “Detaxers” held seminars and taught classes on how to supposedly avoid paying income tax, for example by claiming that ROBERT GRAESSER is a legal person and a taxpayer, while Robert-A.: Graesser is a physical human being and therefore exempt from tax: Meads at paras 87-98.

  • Humanitarian Imperialism: Using Human Rights to Sell War
    Bricmont, J. (2006). Humanitarian imperialism: Using human rights to sell war. New York: Monthly Review Press. Preface to the English Edition Two sorts of sentiments inspire political action: hope and indignation. This book is largely the product of the latter sentiment, but the aim of its publication is to encourage the former. A brief and subjective overview of the political evolution of the past twenty years can explain the source of my indignation. The collapse of the Soviet Union can be compared to the fall of Napoleon. Both were the product of major revolutions whose ideals they symbolized, rightly or wrongly, and which they defended more or less effectively while betraying them in various ways. If their natures were complex, the consequences of their fall were relatively simple and led to a general triumph of reaction, with the United Stales today playing a role analogous to that of the Holy Alliance nearly two centuries ago.1 There is no need to be an admirer of the Soviet Union (or of Napoleon) to make this observation. My generation, that of 1968, wanted to overcome the shortcomings of the Soviet system, but certainly did not mean to take the great leap backwards which actually took place and to which, in its overwhelming majority, it has easily adapted.2 A discussion of the causes of these failures would require several books. Suffice it to say that for all sorts of reasons, some of which will be touched on in what follows, I did not follow the evolution of the majority of my generation and have preserved what it would call my youthful illusions, at least some of them.
