A MESSAGE TO ARUBA--BE PREPARED TO STARVE

**By Richard, Aruban Boycott Contributor.

I couldn't have said this better myself!


To all those who whine about the impact of the boycott (which has been going on for some time) on the ‘innocent’ Arubans …

Here’s the deal. YOU tell US who the ‘innocent’ Arubans are. That presupposes that you know who the guilty ones are, doesn’t it?


If so, you know more than the Aruban government knows. After two and a half years, they can’t find evidence to keep anyone in jail.


But Natalee vanished on Aruba, didn’t she? Do you have that down straight? She was taken away by three persons on Aruba, got it?


At this point, we don’t know how many Arubans might be involved, though it’s obvious that a hell of a lot more than three are responsible for the cover-up.


So that’s my advice. You find out who’s innocent, and we who are pushing the boycott will ask that nobody get angry at them.


But you can’t do it, can you?


So if the Aruban people won’t speak up and demand action … well, maybe it doesn’t sound nice …but I really don’t care what happens to them.


We owe Aruba NOTHING.


And it’s clear that Aruba can’t do justice in this case, or won’t.


So to hell with the place. Period.




Let Aruba look to someone else for its tourist money. It won’t get mine, and I’ll do everything that I can to encourage others to avoid the place.


And to let Aruba know WHY they won’t go there.


We’ve had success at this … in Boston, at King of Prussia, and (though I wasn’t there) in the other protests, passers-by went in and told the Aruba Tourist Authority people that they would never visit that place, and why.


So once again, the question isn’t whether we will press for a boycott. We HAVE been doing this, and even the Dutch admit that it has had an impact. Now it’s time to carry the campaign further.


The ball’s in your court, Aruba. You’ll keep the cover-up going? You won’t call back van der Straaten, Jacobs, Dompig, and the others and start an inquiry?


You won’t demand that an IMPARTIAL JUDGE take charge?


You won’t ask the US to send the FBI in?


You’ll continue to whine, whimper and say “Oh, there’s no evidence?”


Fine … GO TO HELL. And get there by starvation.


Because I for one am sick to death of your whining. Find someone else to feed you … because the Americans, who have taken a long time to wise up, finally are doing so.
