From: f.visser3@chello.nl Sent: maandag 6 december 2004 23:38 To: f.visser3@chello.nl Subject: What's going on in the Netherlands? INTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST =========================== http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 130 Amsterdam, December 6, 2004 RECENT ADDITION TO THE READING ROOM: Peter Merry: "What on earth is going on in the Netherlands? The meteoric rise of Pim Fortuijn, his shocking murder on May 6th 2002, and the dramatic national election results in the Netherlands on May 15th, left the country and its inhabitants with much to think about. Since then, political upheaval and resettlement. Then, out of the blue, the murder on November 4 of Theo van Gogh, followed by attacks on mosques, churches, schools, and the high- drama break-up of a terrorist cell in the Hague. Commentators and politicians struggle to find adequate analysis and action. This article aims to map the deeper undercurrents that were, and still are, at work, and proposes a way of thinking for the future. As a result, may it provide some clarity, so that future conversation and decision-making may be better informed, within all sectors and at all levels of society." Peter uses SD concepts without explicitly mentioning them. Hopefully, more politically relevant articles informed by integralism will see the light of day!
