I'm fairly certain that the Belgian people would not sit by idly if they thought things were going awry.

I recall 250,000 turning out during the Marc Detroux debacle. Unlike the British the Belgians know how to turn off a TV and get outside.

This is more sensationalism and fear mongering. Also blatant psych-ops being used to promote this article.

This article is being promoted on sott. (Signs of the Times) aka the "channelers of the Cassopeans" and other such nonsense.

Just to show what utter BS is behind this...they have printed a short statement of the article posted here.....but to give the article some extra uumph...they have attempted to add shock value by posting a picture (misrepresenting it as accompanying the story) of little Elian Gonzales with machine guns pointed at him.

Cheap tricks. Poor journalism.

Thanks Quite easy for me, I'm 28 and I never had the cable Yes it exists.

I only receive the sole public french speaking public channel via airwaves, and I'm more than happy with this. Since it is public, they cannot air stupid TV shows, News are not overdramatizing any piece of information, and are not (too much) politically biased. And they have cool documentaries because they have an educational mission.

Everytime I see programs for other channels, I feel like it is wasted time.

You can try it too Turn off your TV. (Next step for me ; less time on the net )
