I can still remember vividly when Curtis Hofwijks burst into laughter at the Dependence Square in Paramaribo, when I told him for the umpteenth time that my Facebook account was blocked again for a while. It was during the period of 2015–2016 when I supported him during his protests against the policies of the robberment, led at the time by Bouterse. Read more ⟶

The dangers of recycling phone numbers
I recently purchased a new SIM card from a local telecom company in Suriname. I was assigned a ‘new’ phone number with this SIM card. After inserting the SIM card into a phone, I installed WhatsApp and tried to activate a WhatsApp account with the ‘new’ phone number.

IPFS Censorship by Cloudflare
Back in September 2018, I wrote a post criticizing Cloudflare’s IPFS gateway, which they claimed would be ‘highly-reliable’ and ‘security-enhanced’. I argued that this claim is dubious, especially after the company’s CEO arbitrarily decided to take down a website they were supposed to be protecting. Read more ⟶
Present-day Slavery
Following is an English translation of an article I wrote that was published on Starnieuws today. The original article is in Dutch and you can read it on Starnieuws if you prefer that version.

A paper published on December 16th 2014 titled “Body integrity identity disorder (BIID): How satisfied are successful wannabes” by Sarah Noll and Erich Kasten took a look at how satisfied people suffering from BIID are after surgery, where they intentionally choose to remove a perfectly healthy body part.

On Voting and the Mafia
In one of the MobileCoin groups on Signal one of the participants named Mike Glenn shared a comment that I want to share with all of you. I thought it explained really well how the public is being fooled by voting in the so called ‘democracies’ of today while being robbed and enslaved. Read more ⟶

Update on COVID-19 courtcases
As you may be aware of, I started two lawsuits against the criminal government of Suriname in 2021.

On August 5th 2022 the appeal hearing of these lawsuits began and I submitted my pleading for both cases. Read more ⟶
