Fiona recites from Louis Paul Boon's "De kleine Eva uit de Kromme Bijlstraat" (1956), a murder story in Antwerp and the media fabulations in the 1930's.
We also spot another book that is probably worth a read: "De Verlichting als Kraamkamer" by Jabik Veenbaas. High time for more Enlightenment.
And again some theater company, het Toneelhuis, is unaware that the essence of the Shakespeare play they will bring is that a lie by repetition becomes truth! 
'fair is foul and foul is fair' indeed, there is no proof that Mac Beth killed young and foolish king Duncan (cfr. 17 april 2013)

9. September 7th, 2013

While the city of Antwerp has it's Liberation Ball on September 6, the towns of Ekeren and Merksem had to wait, back then in 1944, one more month, a month full of violence and suffering. With the end of the German occupation came also an end to 'Big-Antwerp'. Alas, this nazi-invention was re-installed in 1983.
Note that the port of Antwerp has the second biggest concentration of petro-chemical industry, after Texas.
Also in 1944, the republic of Touva lost it's independance.
And a word about the Cambrian explosion (around 500 million years ago), made possible by the rise of oxigen giving carnivores more energy, thus spuring on the evolution of spiecies.
