Lyle Zapato created this website. His name is clearly indicated at the top of the page. There is no link to help us know more about the author. Thus, it is not a reputable source at all. There are a few grammatical errors spread through the text (for example, “writting” instead of writing, or a few made-up words such as “supremicist”.
The website’s subject is the non-existence of Belgium. It is absolutely inappropriate to use for any kind of research due to its satirical nature. It’s designed well enough to lead a few people to believe the author.
The last update was made on August 31st, 2008 – over five months ago. It wasn’t updated recently enough to use in research. The links work, though. The area where the author comes from is unclear.
The website’s goal is to make the reader believe that Belgium doesn’t exist at all. It is designed to convince people about the non-existence of Belgium. The entirety of the website is made up of false (and humorous) information. It is nothing other than a hoax site. There aren’t any ads (except links to reach the author’s website).
