NETHERLANDS ROYAL FAMILY ATTACKED--FIVE DEAD
The Dutch Royal Family looked on in horror yesterday as a car ploughed into a crowd of wellwishers, killing five and injuring twelve.
The car smashed through two police barriers in an apparent attempt to ram the open-top bus carrying the royal party, which included Queen Beatrix, 71.
Dutch media reported that the driver, a 38-year-old man, had been fired from his job and faced eviction from his home. He was slumped at the wheel when he was arrested. Police said that the man, who was in a critical condition, had no history of mental illness and had acted alone. No explosives were found in the vehicle.
The Royal Family had been visiting Apeldoorn, 60 miles (96 km) east of Amsterdam, as part of the festivities for the annual Queen’s Day holiday. In a rare television address Queen Beatrix offered her condolences. “We are speechless that something so terrible could have happened,” she said, looking shaken. “My family and I think everybody in the country sympathises with the victims, their families and friends. What began as a great day has ended in a terrible tragedy.”
On Queen’s Day, which commemorates the birth of Queen Beatrix’s mother, millions of people take the day off, dress in orange wigs and hats and hold street parties.
Last night the parties were cancelled and flags were at half-mast.
Ludo Goossens, a justice official, said: “At the moment of first contact with police on the ground, the man indicated that his action was aimed against the Royal Family.”
Jan Peter Balkenende, the Prime Minister, said: “I think that it has become clear that this happened with premeditation.”
Officials said that the driver had a map of the Queen’s parade route. He apparently tried to collide with the bus carrying the Royal Family. People were thrown in the air as his car ripped through the crowds before hitting a monument and coming to a halt.
Dutch television showed Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife, Princess Maxima, watching in astonishment. No one in the royal entourage was hurt.
Peter von de Vorst, a witness, said that the incident was like watching a Hollywood film. “It was a really nice day. Then you hear a bang. Everyone looks up and you see people indeed flying through the air,” he said. “This must be a joke or a strange prank. Then suddenly panic, and you realise that something really terrible has happened.”

Crown Prince Willem-Alexander was targeted because he wanted to reform Aruba.
The attacked was conspired by Aruba government. The car was going to impact the bus and set it into explosion and fire. Crown Prince Willem-Alexander was at the top front seat of the bus.
There is a heated power struggle between Queen Beatrix and Crown Prince Willem-Alexander.
Queen Beatrix dislikes Princess Maxima. Princess Maxima pushes her husband Crown Prince Willem-Alexander to become King Of Orange of Alexander to rule Kingdom of Netherlands. Princess Maxima plots to exile Queen Beatrix to Aruba.
The driver-terrorist is a 38-year-old Dutch national grown up in Aruba just like Joran van der Sloot, who is an unemployed security guard and former ALE officer.
The royal coach bus driver spotted the high speed murdering car and took evasive action behind the WWII monument to protect the royal family. Queen Beatrix did not say a word and left the bus quickly with her bodyguards. Only Aruba government knew the exact route of the royal family because Oduber was invited.
The attacker is in the maximum military prison under suicide watch.
The Dutch media requested the queen to step down to avoid further violence. The queen is a foremost advocate of Aruba's independence, and the people of Holland and Prince Alexander vote against it in the Dutch parliament.
The liaisons of the House of Orange have long courted controversy.
Crown Prince Willem Alexander caused an uproar two years ago when his engagement to Maxima Zorreguieta, an Argentinian whose father served in the military junta, was announced, although by the time of their wedding last year she had won over the people.
There were riots when Queen Beatrix married a German diplomat, Niklaus von Amsberg, who had served in the German armed forces under the Nazis and been a member of the Hitler Youth
Colorful German-born Dutch Prince Bernhard, the father of Queen Beatrix, had a mid-marriage period of separation with his wife, former Queen Juliana, when she fell under the influence of a Rasputin-like holy woman. They never divorced, but Bernhard fathered two illegitimate daughters, one of them a landscape artist in the United States, the other living in France. He died last December.
Queen Beatrix is also Princess van Oranje-Nassau, Princess van Lippe-Biesterfeld etc, etc, etc. The Kingdom of The Netherlands includes the external territories of Aruba and The Nederlandse Antillen. She succeeded upon the abdication of her mother, Queen Juliana. Married to Prince Claus of the Netherlands, Jonkheer von Amfeld (1926-2002), and mother of 3 sons. (b. 1938-).

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands

My comments: An extraordinarily fortunate passage through life
is indicated in the reading.
Queen Beatrix ascended to the throne in the year I spent
in Holland, so I saw at first hand the riots by the Provos that
greeted her arrival.
She funded the 7 Dials pillar in Covent Garden near where my
great great grandfather was born. A lovely touch.
HOW TO READ THE INTERPRETATION
The description of the sun and moon combination below gives
the overall pen portrait or big picture and this summary holds good
whatever the rest of the reading says as it fills in the details.
Moon square Uranus.
In a female chart, Uranus can introduce complications in both
the birth of children and their upbringing, there could be birth
outside conventional ties, while your own emotions are rather
changeable and unpredictable. You are attracted to change, variety
and travel, which can prove very stimulating.
Venus conjunct Jupiter
You contain contradictory urges towards the ideal and the
immediate gratification of sexual desires and the sensational
in life giving you a varied rather unpredictable love life.
Mars conjunct Saturn
You have luck and success in both finance deals and business.
Venus square Uranus.
You go hot and cold in relationships and do not have great
expectations of human nature, which will be reflected in a
great disappointment through misplaced or frustrated affection.
You are strongly unconventional and hasty in sex and emotional
matters, bringing a remarkable degree of independence to your
love life. You can get very detached in emotional situations
causing distress to others and then you can go to the other
extreme of temperament and impulse. This makes for an erratic
unpredictable life with periodic urges to self destruct.
Sometimes love and friendship merge in your mind and you are always
subject to sudden attractions which are exciting while they last
which is usually not very long. Sometimes promiscuity or perversion
result from this aspect if other aspects reinforce this tendency.
Certainly your involvements with the opposite sex are likely to
have their troubles as well as their excitements.
You are fixed in your attractions and will not listen to reason
going all out to satisfy your emotions and obtain
sexual gratification.
"complications in both the birth of children and their upbringing, there could be birth outside conventional ties." May be there something to do with Joran van der Sloot. It's all just speculations. But the Dutch media love it. Love and hate of Aruba can quickly bring down the Kingdom of Netherlands. The Dutch people want to see the new king and Kill Joran movie.
Aruba Known as ‘the island where happiness lives’, Aruba is one of the Caribbean’s top vacation destinations. Just 15 miles north of Venezuela, and easily accessible from the United States, Aruba’s tropical climate, perfect sandy beaches and warm turquoise sea are reason enough to go there. And there’s so much more to enjoy and explore—which is why so many of its visitors return again and again to this unique and fascinating holiday hotspot.
Aruba is very safe and stable. We have supervision of our financial sector and we can use the Dutch
supreme court. We guarantee our financial system and human rights. Both international and local tourists and investors are well treated here. Integrity is what the world is looking for and this is what we offer.
Tourism is the most important pillar of Aruba’s economy. We
differentiate ourselves from the other Caribbean islands. We want to stress safety. We are a good product as a tourist destination because of our good and loyal relations with the United States. We are a small Dutch island with happy people and full autonomy. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands is the Head of State and Protector of the Orange Aruba Republic.
The Aruban government is firmly pro-freedom and pro-American. The current administration has a social democratic and justice-for-all signature. Our Highest Court of Appeal is the International Court of Justice (ICC) located in Hague of the Kingdom of Netherlands. Prime Minister Oduber has a mandate to strengthen the economy and the safety of American tourists.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: A member of the Dutch parliament slams officials on the island of Aruba, allegations of a cover-up and corruption related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Tourism coexists with organized crime in a kind of symbiotic relationship, and the US State Department reports also emphasize this link between tourism, money-laundering and offshore banking. It’s been reported:‘Money laundering fostered by the off-shore banking and casino and resort industries on Aruba florish.
Aruba also witnessed an increase in such drug-related crime as shootings, robberies and murders between rival drug gangs vying for territory. What is good for casinos is good for organized crime.
The institutions of some Caribbean countries have been so effectively penetrated by the vast amounts of money generated by organized crime they could be described as criminal states. Aruba, for instance, fits this description, with drug cartels moving there in the 1990’s attracted by it’s rapidly developing tourist industry.
Organized crime is efficient. It tends to be conservative and protects those it has corrupted. It operates best where it can work unhindered, undetected and in conditions of political stability.
A busy tourist industry can offer a suitable cover for criminal activities; it can also provide opportunities for investment. When the drug cartels looked for avenues to invest their billions, they found plenty of opportunities in the tourist industry where they could use their laundered money in legitimate operations.
Hero Brinkman, a member of dutch parliament states Aruba is corrupt as hell.
Hero reports, the Dutch know that there is a lot of corruption in Aruba, and they don’t want to do anything about it.
Dutch News: The man suspected of trying to attack the Dutch royal family by crashing his car near their bus has died, Dutch police said Friday early morning. The cause of death is sealed by the queen pending on full investigation. The mystery deepens as the Dutch people are enraged by the attempted assasination of Prince Alexander of Orange.
It's a coverup by Queen Beatrix. The real target was Crown Prince of Alexander of Orange, the future King of Kingdom of Netherlands. The assassin was an unemployed security guard and former ALE agent named as Karst Tates. His neighbours did not know him and he lived in a farmhouse the east of Hague few months ago. The whole country wants the queen to come forward and explain the death of the assassin. The mood in Holland is boiling with angers. The queen must go, says the Dutch young people.
The five people killed are three men and two women. Among the injured are three children, aged 9, 15 and 16.
The Dutch people have made their ultimate sacrifice to save the future King Alexander of Netherlands. The Crown Prince Alexander of Orange is deeply moved and very grateful to his people and constituents. He says he will serve the people and bring respect and glory to the throne.
The queen's bodyguards did not arrest a group of Arubans playing drums at the corner of the WWII momument. They might have sent the signals to the assassin that the royal bus was coming around the corner of the street. The Dutch news are brewing red hot, they accuse the queen of conspiracy.
The Press made phone calls to the office of prime minister Nelson Oduber of Aruba, no one in the government building was taking the calls.
The capital Amsterdam is currently under curvew, people are asked to stay home becasue of the spread of swine flu. Actually the Dutch police are arresting potential demonstrators about the botched assasination of Prince Alexander. The queen must abdicate now and exit Holland.
It is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Catharine MacKinnon, AKA Elizabeth A. Long, is a lawyer, and a very shrewd one. Represented a group of women who had been raped during the Bosnian conflict, in a case called Kadic v. Karadzic, she employed a little-known American law, the Alien Tort Claims Act, which allows plaintiffs to file civil suits against foreign citizens in US courts, provided that the defendant can be served on US soil.
Previous users of the statute had been isolated individuals. While rejecting a class-action approach on the grounds that it would impose plaintiff status on women who might be unwilling to join in--the process, she argues, must be "accountable, personal, and responsive"--MacKinnon brought suit against Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic on behalf of a specific group of female clients, seeking damages for injuries consisting in "genocidal sexual atrocities perpetrated as a result of [his] policy of ethnic cleansing."
Damages were sought for the named individuals, as was an injunction that Karadzic order the genocide to stop. On August 10, 2000, a jury in the State of New York awarded the plaintiffs a total of $745 million in compensatory and punitive damages and a permanent injunction. For her role in this landmark prosecution, MacKinnon was honored as one of the finalists in the 2001 "trial lawyer of the year" competition by the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.

Royals appearing in public despite attack

Last updated: Friday 01 May 2009 12:41 UTC
Regardless of the attack on their coach on Thursday in Apeldoorn, Queen Beatrix, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima will attend the annual national remembrance ceremony on Dam Square in Amsterdam. Doubts had been cast on their presence after the incident, but the government information service says it was agreed to run the programme as planned.
The NATO high command have placed the most experience and hardened anti-terrorist forces from member countries US, UK and Germany to protect the Dutch royal family. It is said the transfer of power is underway in the Dutch place in Hague. A new King of Netherlands will be proclaimed by the Dutch Parliament by midnight.
"I think that it has become clear that this happened with premeditation," Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said.
The Dutch Marines in Aruba have been ordered to search for Oduber for interrogations as the flase identity of the Aruban assasin being unraveled. Privately the queen is under strong suspicion of conspiracy. The Crown Prince Alexander is advised not to attend any public appearances arranged by the queen, The Prince's wife Princess Maxima will reprent him to accept flowers and good wishes from the Dutch people.
A queen going places on her bike and allowing herself to be kissed by a passer-by when she is among her subjects: outside of the Netherlands people thought that a bit strange. So will the Orange family finally become an "ordinary" royal family?
The new Aruban coverup campaign and propaganda have just begun in Holland. The Dutch people want to know how the Aruban spies can easily penetrate the Dutch Homeland Security Defense. There must be some insiders trained like Joran van der Sloot who lies all the way to the Dutch parliament to obtain the top secret clearance to get to the security defense plans.
The assasin did not die in the hospital as the queen told in TV interview. The assasin died in a secret prison held by the queen's bodygurads. The Dutch police thought the assasin was in the ambulance vehicle taken to the hospital for medical examination. The ambulance truck was intercepted by the queen's bodyguards, and the assasin was taken as prisoner and whisked away in the bodyguards SUV.
Jaap also agreed that the Aruban government had trained many lying machines-spies like Joran van der Sloot to hurt the Holland government. Joran did pass the first lie-detector test, but Joran boasted and volunteered to take the second lie-detector test to gurantee his 100% honest truth, then he failed the test when the practitioner asked Joran if he sees the ghost. He said yes, then no and denied it. His sweating and high heartbeat signals want off the chart. Joran failed the second lie-detector test. Jaap was very distraught by Joran as he can lie and fool the lie-detector. Jaap was very scared of Joran, knowing Joran is a trained spy by the Aruban government.
Prosecutors said the suspect's death ended the criminal investigation against him, but that they would continue to investigate whether he acted alone. Prosecutors have not released his name, in line with Dutch privacy laws.
"So far there are no indications" anybody else was involved, prosecutors said in a statement
"It is very difficult now that we no longer have the suspect to reconstruct what was behind this," said Fred de Graaf, they mayor of Apeldoorn where the incident occurred.
"An element of uncertainty will remain because you can no longer question the suspect. So the last piece of the puzzle will remain in question," he told reporters Friday.
The attack prompted officials to review security arrangements for the royal family's public appearances. The US built monument in Apeldoorn commemorating Dutch victims of World War II had saved the Dutch royal family. We are very grateful to the US, said the town mayor holding a map of the queen's route.
The prince's political advisor said Aruban government had been governing the land based on lie after lie. The system allowing this to exist has to be stopped and destroyed to preserve justice for all the people in the world visiting the Kingdom of Netherlands.
