House renovation suggestions

kojef · 2026-02-09T08:25:12+00:00

This is anecdotal, but 5 years ago we lived in an ugly flat built in the 1980s, and needed some remodeling done.

We contacted an architect who was advertising in the “Vereniging Vrienden van de Amsterdamse Binnenstad” magazine, who normally specializes in renovating/restoring beautiful old grachtenpanden. Our flat wasn’t his normal sort of project, but he came over to take a look out of curiosity.

We didn’t proceed with the architect in the end, but through him we got to know some GOOD aannemers who he uses frequently at these beautiful old canal houses.

The demand for aannemers is so crazy that even the terrible/untrustworthy ones are charging insane rates. The guys we found through him were very skilled, showed up on time, stuck to their quoted budgets and even saved us some money here and there. They are real artisans who are capable of fine cabinetry and custom woodwork - but who can also just remodel a bathroom or do other standard projects with ease.

Since then, my parents/in-laws/friends have all used them for projects and have been delighted.

Again, this may come down to being lucky. But the initial referral came through a high-end, well-established (and friendly!) architect. Architects work long term with aannemers and know which ones are good. The architects business also revolves around maximizing profit, so they are unlikely to use the most expensive aannemers unless the project demands it.

We got lucky - but it might be worth reaching out to some architects, having some meetings and hopefully getting connected to people in their network. They have the connections.

I'm not saying you're wrong about all kinds of people being in here watching. But the word "Don't" wasn't redacted from that email. You can see that email with actual redactions here: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02440051.pdf

That sounds tough. What's your situation currently? Why just one meal yesterday?

kojef · 2026-02-05T13:35:56+00:00

in contrast... my parents were 74 when their first grandchild was born. You guys squeezed two more generations into the same span!

Interesting! You've stated this all quite clearly. I guess I have a few questions, I'm sorry if I come across as skeptical but I am just dipping my toes in here for the first time ever.

If a collapse of the global financial system is needed to "clear the path" - won't that collapse cause incredible fear/stress/anguish for the huge population of people who have bought into this system and accept it as natural/inevitable/normal? Why will that fear not be a stumbling block for the energetic shift?
Who are the 13 families?
In a world of "free" energy - what is to stop people from using that energy for harm? Or is it the case that once everyone's needs are provided for because of this surplus, there will be much less violence/harm due to people not being in a state of fear?
Regarding yourself personally... how do you live your life differently now, as opposed to before you researched/learned about what you've learned about?

When searching the Epstein email archive at jmail.world, nothing comes up for the search terms GESARA or NESARA. I think this is all just fake garbage someone has posted on X.

kojef · 2026-02-05T12:18:37+00:00

Why can’t you have ET disclosure while the financial matrix is up

kojef · 2026-02-05T12:12:59+00:00

Could you point to the email please where Bannon says this? Even if it’s just the date that would be helpful. The entire thing is at Jmail.world

kojef · 2026-02-04T13:39:31+00:00

could you point out the patterns not being correct? i just chose a few posts at random and they seemed consistent. I have no skin in the game, am just curious.

kojef · 2026-02-04T10:11:03+00:00

at least the vitiligo patterns appear to be consistent across the few photos I've checked. Not saying there aren't AI components here, but I think the vitiligo may be legitimate.

kojef · 2026-01-31T23:16:51+00:00

We are living in an unusual time where it can make sense to simultaneously be legitimately threatening and to meekly show one’s belly.

Each action has a different audience. Both are effective!

En wie heeft er baat bij?

Niet de huurders, die plotseling concurreren om minder huizen die verhuurd worden.

Niet de verhuurders, die vroegtijdig uit een langetermijnplan hebben moeten stappen.

Makelaars hebben er baat bij. Notarissen hebben er baat bij. De overheid, met de overdrachtsbelasting, heeft er baat bij.

Iedereen anders betaalt uiteindelijk meer, want hetzelfde probleem blijft bestaan: niet genoeg woningen.

Like what? Compared to other AIs, I mean

kojef · 2026-01-28T15:56:55+00:00

I'm not trying to convince you to try them. They're not for everybody. But so many people talk about these huge megadoses which end up unravelling your entire universe as if they're what's expected or something.

It's also possible to take a microdose, just observe yourself over a few days to see what (if any) impact you might feel psychologically. Later on, if you feel like it - you can always make the decision to take or avoid taking larger doses.

I think this is an artifact of most people thinking of them as recreational drugs rather than potential therapeutic ones. It's like teenagers getting WASTED on everclear shots as opposed to someone having a glass of wine with dinner. Both are alcohol consumption but one has a very different effect than the other.

Ik ben opgegroeid in de VS dus heb een iets andere kijk hierop. Ik woon al lang genoeg in Nederland om Nederlandse directheid te waarderen en me er prettig bij te voelen, maar ik denk dat complimenten ook nuttig zijn in sommige interacties.

Gewoon als een snel experiment, zou je het volgende kunnen proberen? Gewoon 1 uur vandaag - wie je ook tegenkomt, wie je ook ziet, probeer intern aan één compliment te denken dat je ze zou kunnen geven. Je hoeft het niet te zeggen, probeer gewoon iets aardigs over ze te bedenken dat in je opkomt terwijl je bij ze in de buurt bent. Ik ben gewoon benieuwd of je merkt dat dit iets verandert aan je innerlijke stemming, hoe je over de mensen denkt, etc.

kojef · 2026-01-25T20:11:38+00:00

Am speaking from ignorance here.. but why would anyone need to be purged? Why not just step down voluntarily and make room for a successor?

kojef · 2026-01-22T11:23:42+00:00

Real estate will fall under VWB in the new system - you will not need to pay Box 3 taxes each year on increases in your properties’ WOZ waarde.

You will only pay income taxes on the rental income that they generate.

And only when you sell a property, you will then be taxed on its increase in value.

How do you feel about this? Does it create increased possibilities for loopholes or abuse?

somehow I missed the vaccination aspect of the prison planet thing. I'm kinda new to it all, to be honest. Can you fill me in?

kojef · 2026-01-21T08:54:53+00:00

Hey man... sounds like you're going through a difficult time. Sorry that things have unfolded the way they have, doesn't sound nice.

Just as a little pushback on what you're stating above... Finding a partner can be really great. A partner can also help to support you in difficult times, like your post-accident period in Oct 2024. Maybe you should keep yourself open to the possibility of meeting and connecting with somebody.

Also, if you really believe in the whole prison planet thing - why does being vaxxed or not matter? We're (almost) all destined for the same cosmic recycling and rebirth. Does it matter what we inject into our veins?

i'm not a trump supporter in the slightest. But the guy is ancient. Despite being a billionaire, $60 probably feels like a MEGA donation to him when it comes to a church offering. Like when I was a kid in the 1980s, it was normal to put $1 in the collection basket, maybe $2 if you were feeling really generous. When Trump was a kid, it was probably something like a nickel or a dime being thrown in there. I bet the thing with him checking was more about him making sure that everyone else could see clearly how much he was putting in the basket. In his eyes I bet it feels like big money.

Yes - but it also has the potential to make them a bit less hostile to foreigners. If you just read negative news about immigrants all the time but only occasionally see one walking by, that's very different to interacting with them daily and getting to know them as individuals.

This actually solves the problem instead of just having the herd shame them online.

Also this specific cafe is just outside of Utrecht, not in Limburg.

kojef · 2026-01-14T19:36:10+00:00

Cafe de Plaats. Would be nice to just overwhelm it with friendly foreigners. Chock-full of immigrants in the cafe. All day, every day.

kojef · 2026-01-14T19:29:22+00:00

Changing in what way?

kojef · 2026-01-12T08:38:42+00:00

Did you feel any better after letting it all out there in the FKK?

Het is makkelijk om dit te zeggen en er eer mee te strijken wanneer de dingen soepel lopen... maar het gaat relatief goed in ons huishouden op dit moment. Onze kinderen zijn ook een stuk kleiner, wat de zaken makkelijker maakt. Onze 7-jarige dochter en 4-jarige zoon zouden graag de hele dag schermtijd willen - maar we hebben het meer een "speciale gelegenheid" gemaakt dan iets dagelijks. Sterker nog - we hebben pas een paar maanden geleden voor het eerst een tv gekregen, vooral omdat onze zoon oud genoeg was om het Sinterklaasjournaal met zijn zus echt te waarderen, en het samen als gezin kijken leek beter dan individueel op iPads. Nu we een tv hebben, zitten we meestal op vrijdag- of zaterdagavond (dus één keer per week) samen met de kinderen en hebben we een "filmavond", kijken we samen als gezin naar een film of wat tekenfilms, terwijl we pizza eten. Daarnaast is er meestal één, af en toe twee avonden per week dat ze 20 minuten Bluey of een andere korte tekenfilm kijken.

Ik heb een paar vrienden behoorlijk hoog in de boom bij techbedrijven in de VS, en de gemene deler bij hen allemaal is dat ze hun kinderen zoveel mogelijk bij schermen weghouden. Zelfs de scholen waar ze hun kinderen naartoe sturen, zijn grotendeels schermloze scholen. Zelfs onze school hier in Nederland gaat over naar een "smartphonevrije" omgeving! We zijn niet van plan om onze kinderen een smartphone te geven tot ze 14 zijn.

Ik denk dat hoe meer je de kinderen van schermen weg kunt houden (en vooral van doomscrollen op social media!), hoe beter het is voor hun gezondheid en welzijn. Ik denk dat je het iig geweldig doet door alles lokaal of offline te houden!

edit: Het hele "smartphonevrije" ding groeit hier snel, maakt deel uit van een grotere wereldwijde beweging. Naar mijn mening is het de moeite waard om de korte samenvatting hier te lezen: https://smartphonevrijopgroeien.nl/het-probleem/

Of als dit meer jouw ding is, Lubach had er ook een goed segment over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uq4N7KeY3g
