Veel mensen vragen zich af wat je moet doen met de gestegen rentelasten. Simpel: snij in de overheid. 75% van de lullige ambtenarenbaantjes is pure verspilling, diefstal eigenlijk. Kosten kapitalen maar ze doen niet echt iets. Ontsla die luie raamambtenaar en bespaar miljarden.

The Norwegian media is uniquely ridiculous in its smear campaigns. When I tell people abroad about the brazen and lazy propaganda, they often assume I am exaggerating. This week there have been two more smear pieces published about me. The first story in the media is about my tweet on the results of Russia’s parliamentary election, in which I wrote: “Big win for United Russia. President Putin's party, United Russia, won 57.83% of the vote in the parliamentary election, which is a significant increase from 49.8% in 2021”. In short, I merely stated the election results, which are important as United Russia now has a majority in parliament. The newspaper reported that I was “cheering” Putin’s victory and “congratulating” Russia. Another newspaper wrote that I was spreading Russian propaganda because I made the election seem legitimate. Another absurd story was published today with the headline: “Several cases against Norwegian Russia researcher”. The article is about accusations submitted to my university regarding an alleged breach of ethical research practices, which is intended to give the reader the impression that my research and publications have violated research ethics standards. What the newspaper does not mention is that anyone can send a letter with accusations to the university, and there is no shortage of radical activists seeking to silence academics. However, these accusations mean nothing when there is no substance to the accusations, and for that reason these accusations did not lead anywhere. However, such accusations are catnip for journalists who engage in smear campaigns and do not mind misleading their readers. The newspaper cites a smear piece in the complaint to prove that I may have breached ethics standards: I had cited US Ambassador William Burns (who later became the CIA Director) as he had written in 2008 that if NATO attempted to pull Ukraine into the NATO orbit – Russia would possibly intervene military even though this is not something Russia would want to do. In the smear piece against me, it is claimed that Burns did not imply anything of the sort and he did not even use the word “intervene” (vagant.no/professor-diesens-…). However, anyone can go into the cable to read that Burns wrote: “In Ukraine, these include fears that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene… Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face” (wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/0…). The propagandists are citing their own smear pieces as evidence. However, it does not matter that all these accusations are built on lies, because from now on journalists can refer to me as the academic who has been ‘accused’ of spreading propaganda and violating ethical research standards. The process is the punishment, so it does not matter that the accusations have no substance. The most absurd smear piece came last year, when one of the largest newspapers wrote that I had been exposed for participating in an “influence operation.” In reality, I had attended a conference devoted to the 200th birthday of Immanuel Kant in his place of birth, Kaliningrad. My speech, published on my Substack (glenndiesen.substack.com/p/t…), was about the crisis of modernity and questioning the durability of secular morality, yet the journalist insisted that the conference was actually about confronting NATO in the Baltic Sea. The evidence published to prove this was a secret influence operation was a list of foreign guests with the headline “List of possible participants of the event for the Baltic region.” However, it was written in Russian, so it probably looked very incriminating. The timing of the article was interesting as it was more than a year after the conference, although I had just run for parliament, and I had been caught in a large media campaign to discredit me. For context, it is important to note that in Norway, every single member of parliament is in favour of sending weapons to Ukraine, and none are calling for diplomacy with Russia. All the newspapers repeat government talking points and smear any dissent. At least in countries like Germany and France, there is opposition. The complete lack of dissent is believed to reflect their “moral clarity,” as opposed to authoritarian means of keeping the war going. Arguments are never discussed, instead the norm is personal attacks and simplistic rhetoric denouncing critics of NATO’s policies as “pro-Russia” and “anti-Ukrainian”. The vast majority of Ukrainians want a negotiated settlement, yet the media label me “anti-Ukrainian” for suggesting that our government should open diplomatic channels with Russia to resolve the dispute over the European security architecture. Meanwhile, these self-proclaimed “pro-Ukrainians” consistently ignore the will of most Ukrainians, and when they see the manpower shortage, their response is to push for deporting Ukrainian refugees, lowering the conscription age of Ukrainian men, or calling for the forced conscription of Ukrainian women as well. The war propaganda and smear campaigns in this country are characterized by laziness, aggressiveness, and arrogance.

I should like to take this opportunity to thank @metpoliceuk MI5 and MI6 for their help in boosting my followers on social media over the past two days. I am truly taken aback by their sudden commitment to promoting the cause of #peace. Spasibo bolshoe..

This guy is retarded. Truly defective mentally. And yet he's the head of NATO, an obsolete war-making alliance that should have been disbanded in 1991 when the Soviet Union disappeared into the dustbin of history. And yet the conventional wisdom on the banks of the Potomac and mainstream media is: How dare you suggest that NATO be shit-canned, when it's damn obvious that it has no reason for existence, whatsoever.
We used to have leaders who said that there are no winners in a nuclear war, now we have people pushing for war with Russia but cannot explain how that war would be fought and what "victory" over the world's largest nuclear power would look like.

The updated second edition of the book the German authorities have been prosecuting me for (with a foreword by @TuckerCarlson) will be released in October. You can pre-order it now, and annoy the hell out of the German authorities, if you're so inclined. amazon.com/dp/168358578X?ref…

It has come to that: The witnesses are being prosecuted for the crime of having... witnessed the crime! This is a warning to every European. BEWARE: As a European citizen you may be prosecuted by a EU member-state for merely documenting suspect - often criminal - acts by the authorities of an EU member-state. The case of Tommy Olsen, and his current prosecution in Rhodes, Greece, should make us all ask again the most pertinent of questions: Who will protect us from our (supposed) protectors? WHO IS TOMMY OLSEN? Tommy Olsen is the Norwegian founder of Aegean Boat Report, an independent organisation established to monitor and document what happens to people crossing the Aegean Sea and arriving on the Greek islands. ABR documents arrivals, distress situations, disappearances, pushbacks and human-rights violations and provides information and documentation to journalists, lawyers and human-rights organisations. Olsen has been doing this important work since 2017. The criminal case concerns activities Greek authorities link to his work with refugees and people seeking asylum. TOMMY'S PROSECUTION The Greek authorities previously sought his surrender under a European Arrest Warrant. Olsen was arrested at his home in Tromso on 16 March 2026. On 15 May, the Halogaland Court of Appeal refused to surrender him. THE NORWEGIAN DECISION On 16 March 2026, Olsen was arrested in Norway under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Greece. Greece soughthis surrender for prosecution. On 15 May 2026, the Halogaland Court of Appeal refused surrender. Amnesty International reported that the court confirmed that the actions for which Olsen is prosecuted in Greece are not punishable under Norwegian law and that the charges represent a "real risk of violation of his freedom of expression". Human Rights Watch reported that the appeals court unanimously recognised that the acts described by Greek authorities did not constitute criminal offences under Norwegian law and that surrender would risk violating THE GREEK AUTHORITIES' CHARGES Greek counsel has confirmed the following public wording of the charges: 1. Establishing and participating in a criminal organisation. 2. Facilitating the unlawful entry into Greek territory of third-country nationals without the legally required border checks, jointly, in respect of multiple persons, for profit and on a professional basis. 3. Facilitating the unlawful stay of third-country nationals in Greek territory, in respect of multiple persons and for profit. Olsen denies the charges. LET'S END THIS TRAVESTY. PROSECUTE CRIMES. NOT THOSE WHO WITNESS THEM.

Typerend. Een column in het NRC schrijven waarom het je irriteert dat er morgen wordt gedemonstreerd voor vrede. En dan die aanhalingstekens, alsof het verdacht is als je gewoon vrede wilt en geen oorlog. Dit is precies waarom ik afgehaakt ben van de media. Praten over, verdachtmakingen, framing en praten met; hó maar. De media begrijpen het niet of willen het niet begrijpen, propaganda bedrijven kun je een tijdje doen maar het staat of valt ermee dat het niet opvalt. Zodra mensen het door hebben, dat ze doelwit zijn in een informatie-operatie, een informatie-oorlog zelfs, dat ze doelwit zijn van NAVO en NCTV in plaats van dat NAVO en NCTV hen beschermen tegen een vijand van buitenaf, en dat de media propagandakanaal zijn in plaats van eerlijke informatie-voorziening, dan is de formule uitgewerkt. Steeds meer mensen doorzien de trucs waarvan de media zich bedienen. Steeds minder mensen hebben een krant. Eigenlijk is het de dood in de pot voor de media, dat ze mee zijn gaan werken aan het bedrijven van propaganda. Er is een nieuwe tijd aan het aanbreken, er ontstaan nieuwe manieren van informatie-voorziening en -uitwisseling, die niet meer zo topdown zijn, die niet meer continu zenden zonder te luisteren. En ik geniet ervan.
Morgen protesteert men ‘voor vrede’ op de Dam. Ik schreef een column over waarom die oproep mij irriteert. nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/09/25/vra…

Nederlandse ziekenhuizen willen vaker 'late abortussen' gaan uitvoeren, ook zonder medische noodzaak, waarbij het kindje soms levend wordt geboren. Vindt u dat er ruimte moet zijn voor late abortussen zonder medische noodzaak?
