“When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me — it still sometimes happens — and ask me if Carl changed at the end & converted to a belief in an afterlife.They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again.

The Netherlands will contribute €60,3 million euro to ESA, the European Space Agency.
Their goal is to cooperate on an international level to achieve progress as a species and knowledge of the universe we live in.
All for the betterment of our species.

The Joint Strike Fighter jet, which the Netherlands ordered in 2002 for the then estimated sum of $800 MILLION dollars, is supposed to be ready for action in 2015.

The costs have already greatly exceeded previous estimates.

Its goal: To effectively destroy ignorant and disobedient human beings as we please. 

Talk about biblical priorities: Destruction comes first, we’ll think about how we’ll survive as a fragile species later.

Idiots.

————-

In 2012 gaat er vanuit Nederland €60,3 miljoen euro naar ESA, de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie.

Die willen door internationaal samen te werken beter onze omgeving exploreren, zodat we vooruitgang kunnen boeken als soort.

De Joint Strike Fighter, besteld in 2002 voor $800 miljoen dollar, wordt in 2015 geleverd.

Functie: Ongehoorzame soortgenoten opblazen.

Wat hebben we onze prioriteiten weer bijbels op orde! Eerst zo effectief mogelijk elkaar kapot maken, dan nadenken over of het misschien slim is om aan overleven als soort te denken. Daar hoort uitbreiding van bewoonde werelden naar groter dan 1 bij.
