Leaders condemn Wilders for manipulated picture of Pechtold

DutchNews, February 6, 2017

D66 leader Alexander Pechtold.

Party leaders have condemned a doctored photo posted by Geert Wilders on Twitter that appeared to show D66 leader Alexander Pechtold taking part in a pro-Islamist demonstration. 

Wilders tweeted the picture with the caption: ‘Pechtold demonstrates with Hamas terrorists. Is this the next step?’ 

The original image, which belongs to US-based picture agency Getty Images, was taken at a demonstration in London in 2009 against Wilders’s visit to the UK. In Wilders’ version Pechtold’s face is crudely pasted in beneath a banner reading: ‘Shariah for the Netherlands.’

Pechtold later posted a response on his Facebook page calling for politicians to ‘draw the line’ at posting fake pictures of each other online. He added that the picture had triggered a torrent of personal abuse on Twitter. 

He wrote: ‘A lot of the time I can laugh about people being creative with pictures on the internet. But not this time. Not because I can’t take it, but because it gives people the wrong idea. That is clear from my timeline. This is how Wilders stirs up his supporters.’ 

Deputy prime minister and Labour party leader Lodewijk Asscher reposted Wilders’s tweet with the comment: ‘Delete your account’, while GroenLinks leader Jesse Klaver said the message was ‘irresponsible and low’.

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

The Unthinkable… Politics, A Review

Humans will begin to search for integrity and fairness and it's going to happen in the places you never expect. I said this last week, so this is a review. There'll come a time when you will demand this of your politics - fairness and integrity. So when the candidates start calling each other names, you will turn your back on them and they won't get any votes. They're going to get the point real fast, don't you think? How about that?

Let me give you another potential. This country that I sit in right now [USA] will set the mold for that particular attribute. I have no clock. Watch for the youngsters to set this in motion, and they will, for they are the voters of tomorrow and they do not want the energy of today. To some of them, it's so abominable they won't even register to vote in this energy. You're going to see this soon. That was number five.. ..."

"You Don’t Know How the Frog Jumps"–  Jan11, 2011 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“…  Last week, I gave you a message about the potentials of 2011. And there were those in this room who attended. I'm going to repeat something I said there, for you need to hear it and it has to do with politics. It would seem intuitive to every single Human Being in the room that in order to accomplish what you do as Americans in Congress, you must have at least two parties. For that is the way it has always been - the red and the blue.

What if I told you that there will come a time when there will be no parties? You might then say, "Well, that's impossible, Kryon, because you're not Human and you don't know how funding works." You might say, "It has to be a party that creates the power to raise money for the ones who cannot, and then the funding is spread around and this is the way we work. If you didn't have parties, you'd have no funding. Nobody could advertise, and no one could get elected."

Oh, really?

Are you aware right now, that you have a president who was elected on the Internet? He figured it out. When everybody can talk to everyone, you have plenty of funding. A few dollars here, a few dollars there. You talk to millions at the same time, they talk to millions at the same time. It's a new paradigm of communication. The young people know all about it, and you can't stop it. Watch for more from this new paradigm.

It is worldwide communication, one person at a time. It doesn't matter how many laws you pass, and it doesn't matter what you decide about who is in charge of it, you can't stop it. It's out of the bag now, and the communities of the young are going to be communicating. This is how the politicians are going to be communicating to you, literally coming into your home in a holographic form perhaps, explaining their position one by one, without a party. Then you will elect them to your Congress without a party and they will sit in the chairs without a division and there will be no such thing as the "other side of the aisle."

And that, Human Being, is called unity and there is a paradigm that you cannot even imagine. And it's in the works. And then you'll have a Congress that works together and gets things done without the current duality.  ….”
