On the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, We Must also Remember and Thank Canada – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two weeks ago, I had the sad, yet almost indispensable occasion of visiting the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City for the first time. Sufficient to say that the sight of the 2,977 inscribed names of the victims of the unspeakable terrorist attacks brought tears to my eyes. The beautiful white roses placed inside the lettering of the names of a child, woman or man who would be celebrating a birthday on that day two weeks ago made the sadness even more poignant, almost unb
The Netherlands Brings Home the Gold. Will More Follow Suit? – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) — shipped tons of gold across the Atlantic to the United States and Canada to protect the bouillon from Nazi confiscation. During recent months — between March and August 2026 — more than 27 metric tons of physical gold bars (worth approximately $3.84B) were shipped across the Atlantic again. This time in the opposite direction: from the United States and Canada to secure DNB vaults at a Dutch military base near the town of Zeist, the Netherlands. The physical cross-A
On this Day, Seventy-Seven Years Ago, Tragedy Struck the 'Land of Flowers’ – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a beautiful, sunny day in the historic colonial city of Ambato, Ecuador. A beautiful, “flowery” city immortalized by the iconic poem “Ambato Tierra de Flores” (Ambato Land of Flowers) written in 1948 by Gustavo Egüez Vaca. Also, a city that played a critical role in Ecuador’s War of Independence against Spain in the early 19th century. Located high in the central Andean valley, on the banks of the tranquil Ambato River, the city of Ambato (at the time with a population of 32,000) was the
What Do the U.S. Dollar, Ecuador, and the Sacagawea Dollar Have in Common? – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not widely known that several countries officially use the U.S. dollar as their national currency. Experiencing rampant inflation/devaluation and a massive economic and fiscal crisis, Ecuador officially adopted the U.S. dollar as its legal tender in January 2000. When the “dollarization” was announced, the official fixed conversion rate was 25,000 sucres per US dollar (USD). An exchange rate that had steadily climbed — sometimes not-so-steadily –- from 2 sucres per USD in 1898, to 13 sucre
How a Dutch Name Became a Shibboleth During World War II – The Moderate Voice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While living in Belgium in the early nineties we often visited the charming, picturesque town of Sluis, the Netherlands, situated right on the Belgian border. We would enjoy its historic sites, buzzling markets, lively shopping and, especially, its culinary treasures. But I would also (secretly and sometimes not-so-secretly) have fun with my English American wife’s (mis)pronunciation of the name Sluis. According to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the Dutch word “sluis” (which means a
