“Obviously, it’s painful for me to hear that. I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband or President Obama. I just have to do the best I can and hope that people see that I am fighting for them.”
Hillary Clinton ging tijdens het debat gisteren in op het feit dat veel Amerikanen haar niet vertrouwen. Overigens zit ze volledig op koers om de nominatie voor haar partij binnen te halen. Bernie Sanders blijkt een taaie tegenstander, maar dat …

The way out of this impasse might just be – and whisper this quietly – the promise of another referendum, with the deal negotiated to leave the EU as one option, and remaining in the EU as the other option. (…) I’m pretty sure that no negotiable Brexit option would be adequately appealing enough to make it more appealing that remaining in the European Union. And that is before taking into

I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized, and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered. I bet it’s brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi re

There is a pattern here. For the ECB to act as a lender of last resort was impossible, and the only answer was yet more austerity – until that austerity had been put in place and OMT became possible. When the French government tried to meet deficit targets by raising taxes rather than cutting spending, they were told that this was the wrong kind of austerity. When it came to Quantitative Easing

I’d probably have called myself an atheist at the time. But normally, that means going your own way and creating your own response. Instead, it felt more like being in church. Suddenly, there were a whole heap of people who seemed to be responding as one. To me, that reproduced some of the things I disliked about the church I was brought up in, because leaps are made from atheism to other belie

IS verschilt grondig van Al-Qaeda. De groep van Osama bin Laden was een elitaire beweging, gedreven door ideologie, die zichzelf als de ware islam zag. IS geeft geen moer om ideologie of theologie, het zijn pragmatici. Terwijl Al-Qaeda religieuze traktaten publiceerde, leert IS op zijn website hoe bommen worden gemaakt. IS trekt dan ook een totaal ander soort strijders aan dan Al-Qaeda – onder

It is well known that Varoufakis was taken off Greece’s negotiating team shortly after Syriza took office; he was still in charge of the country’s finances but no longer in the room. It’s long been unclear why. In April, he said vaguely that it was because “I try and talk economics in the Eurogroup” – the club of 19 finance ministers whose countries use the Euro – “which nobody do

There are certain economic sanctions that we can take which are being considered right now. One possibility would be to impose conditions on our own trading partners and say you want to work with us then you have got to make a commercial choice. If Qatar was not willing to accept the demands, it is a case of ‘Goodbye Qatar’ we do not need you in our tent anymore.” Omar Ghobash, de ambassade

The two people most responsible for the eurozone crisis, of which Greece is just the most extreme manifestation, are the former French president François Mitterrand and long-time Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti. Those two old foxes were the key players who, immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, pinned down Helmut Kohl, the West German chancellor, to a timetable for European mone

If Donald Trump becomes president, the news media will bear a large share of the blame. I know some (many) journalists are busy denying responsibility, but this is absurd, and I think they know it. […] polls showing that the public considers Hillary Clinton, a minor fibber at most, less trustworthy than a pathological liar is prima facie evidence of massive media failure. […] The media haven

[…] For those who control the levers of power in Washington […] our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven’t seen before. This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.

Nick Clegg’s wife Miriam González asked Dutch top lobbyist Bernard Bot to lobby at the Dutch Public Prosecution Service for a businessman from Colonel Gaddafi’s clique.

“Time for a new approach that says while government does not have all the answers, government can and should be a force for good. That the state exists to provide what individual people, communities and markets cannot and that we should employ the power of government for the good of the people. Time to reject the ideological templates provided by the socialist left and the libertarian right and

Europeans should draw the consequences: prepare for a two-speed Europe, because this will inevitably be the result of further integration. They should create a constitutional arrangement for the EU that can accommodate one highly integrated core, the eurozone, and one less integrated group without the euro, ideally led by the UK. And they should expect that not all eurozone members will want to t

Violence against sex workers is a serious problem, both nationally and internationally, and Sarkeesian makes a good case that the games she discusses treat that violence as fun, enjoyable, or even laudable. But Sarkeesian’s videos have not garnered much praise from those most directly affected by these tropes. On the contrary, many sex workers have argued that Sarkeesian’s videos contribute t

Eén reden waarom Donald Trump – die overigens dezelfde politieke ruimte, namelijk economisch links én nationalistisch/autoritair, heeft ontdekt als onze eigen PVV – het momenteel goed doet onder het Republikeinse electoraat in de VS is dat hij er een handje van heeft af te geven op ‘political correctness’. De opkomst van Trump is dan ook eigenlijk te wijten aan de alles doordringende,

Years ago, I watched a heated anti-Muslim protest outside New York. Most of the attendees were clearly from out of town, and angry about the Muslims they’d never met but were sure were here to take their country. For two hours, they railed and hollered. Famished by their phobia, they made their way to the many food trucks parked on the opposite side of the street, most of which were run by Musl
