    Just a note ...

    If we here on this forum (or any other alternative community forum) were to
    disinvolve from our postings sources from any of the major world news
    outlets - It might get awfully boring around the camp fires.

    I agree. I feel that, even if the mainstream media are misleading us with fake news, then that in itself is already interesting enough to report on here. Because by their fake news, they are trying to obfuscate the real news, and in such a way that patterns start to emerge into the public awareness. They can't camouflage these patterns, so we do end up gleaning information from them.

    There would be plenty of truth mixed in with the fake news. That's how it's done. We have to figure out how to hone in on it. The truth has a ring. Peoples' instincts can be very helpful in discerning truth.

    There is also the issue of media parroting media and it happens in the alternative world too.

    People have a tendency to believe reports that concur with what they already believe or want to believe. Personal bias exists in every community around. Ignoring mainstream news completely would probably not be a good idea.

    Holland has huge dams because most of the country is under the water sea level. Flooding is a problem especially many years ago were the rivers flooded a lot of the country at the time leaving the flooded area was not enforced because the government was afraid of being sued . Holland as I remember is divided into two regions Flemish and Dutch . Amsterdam is famous for smoking dope legal and red light district which is quite different . I quite like the canals and the transport system which disencourage cars mostly bikes and trams . I found the city expensive but fun I got drunk at Heineken museum walked past Ann frank house or factory. Well there was a que and its well depressing saw bunch solders come down side building with rope ( festival ?) .

    That is correct, and part of the Flanders lies below sea level as well.

    No, you would be mistaken there. The name Holland is often used for referring to the whole of the Netherlands, but it is in fact the name of two distinct provinces — North Holland and South Holland — which together form a single large region within the Netherlands.

    The Flanders on the other hand make up for the northern half of Belgium and are comprised of five provinces: West Flanders, East Flanders, Antwerp, Limburg and North Brabant. The latter province came to be still only recently as part of the state reform, in which the two halves of what used to be the single province of Brabant were created as distinct provinces — one for the Flanders region and one for the Walloon region.
