THE DUTCH--CAUGHT IN THE ACT!

A ROYAL DISASTER!

The Dutch are like those in George Orwell's book, 1984, trying to 're-write' history. Guess what?! This isn't a book! It's real life! And when you lie, you get BUSTED! What do you think these people, including Aruba, are willing to do next to save their reputations and their floundering island?

THIS JUST PROVES WE CANNOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch royal couple acknowledges altering a Wikipedia entry about a 2003 scandal that forced the prince to renounce his claim to the throne.

Prince Johan Friso, son of the reigning Queen Beatrix, and Princess Mabel of Oranje-Nassau are the latest to be embarrassed in a spate of discoveries of vanity changes to Wikipedia entries. Such self-serving amendments are frowned upon in the Web encyclopedia that "anyone can edit."

The original scandal broke in 2003 when Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende refused to support the prince's marriage to the princess, then known as Mabel Wisse Smit.

The prime minister said he objected because she had given him "incomplete and incorrect information" about a romantic liaison she once had with a druglord. Wisse Smit later conceded knowing the drug dealer but denied any sexual relationship.

With government approval of the marriage withheld, the prince had to choose between Wisse Smit and his place as second in line to the throne. They married in 2004.

On Jan. 8, 2006, someone using a computer at Huis ten Bosch, the royal palace in The Hague, altered the Wikipedia entry on Wisse Smit that had said she "gave misleading and false information" to Balkenende. The new entry removed the words "and false."

Wikipedia shows the time and IP address — the numerical identifier of each computer on the Internet — of edits made by someone who doesn't sign on with a user name.

After the connection between the 2006 edit and the palace recently circulated in the Dutch media, Friso and Mabel acknowledged they were the revisionists.

"They both made the changes together in order to make the entry match the letter which they sent to the prime minister (explaining why they misled him) in 2003," spokesman Chris Breedveld said Thursday. The couple feel that due to repeated mistakes in the media, an "incorrect version of events has arisen," he said.

Similar self-interested Wikipedia edits have popped up for years in government and business. The finds accelerated this month after a U.S. graduate student developed an online "Wikiscanner" to more easily track the sources.

"IT'S NOT PAULUS...IT WAS A COOK"--ARE WE THAT STUPID?

An Aruba Boycott member recently emailed Art Wood to inquire his opinion and/or what he knows about the above picture that is believed to be Paulus sitting next to Natalee the night she disappeared. Art Wood responded to this member with the quote below, which I believe is another load of hot air being blow up our asses.


I'm sure Art is smart enough to know that what he's been fed isn't true. Aruba is all about LIES. If it was just "a cook", then why did Michael Posner hit the roof when this tape was released to the public?





Art Wood: "The person in that tape has not been identified. However it looks like Paulus. I was told that it is a cook at the salt and pepper cafe."

BONES FOUND ASHORE? OR MORE SPIN...

Today Scared Monkey's reported that "a human bone has washed ashore on the north side of the island this morning. It may have washed ashore do to the rough seas." (Source)


What is the likihood that it could be Natalee's? Let's see how long it takes for their "forensic" team to figure this out. They will probably claim it was a monkey bone.


What about that guy who "drowned" recently? He was ashore pretty quickly. Why would bones wash up two years later?

We'll never know until we find out what kind of bone it is. Like I said, they will probably declare it's a rare carribean monkey bone that swims in the ocean, or maybe even some rare prehistoric theropod Microraptor or Parvicursor bone!


In any case, "they" (Aruba and the Dutch) will confiscate it and we will never hear about it again.

Wanna bet???

"WE BOAST WONDERFUL WEATHER...AND ARE OUTSIDE THE HURRICANE BELT!"

"Aruba enjoys a sunny climate, making it a year-round paradise for residents and visitors alike. The average temperature is 82ºF (28ºC), with cooling trade winds and the rarity of tropical storms and hurricanes. Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt."


MY ASS! That bad weather Aruba is getting is just a foreshadowing of the doom to come. I'm just smiling as I sit back and watch.


August 19, 2007--"Well Dean is still leaving us all guessing. I am staying up for the 11pm updates then I will see if I have to change plans again. Most models show Dean going up above 15 north as it passes us, but it doesn't take a direct hit to do damage- like the tail of Ivan the swiped us... I hope all those in his immediate path a safe weekend. The thought of my friends and I will be with you.

At this point for us it is not the threat of a direct hit, but the thought of what the lower part of the system can bring- rain and waves. We had unusually high water at work today and the fish are starting to move into deeper waters or into the lagoon protected by the mangroves. We also had a great view of a tornado/waterspout that was trying to form. It started as a classic funnel that looked like it reached from the low clouds to half way to the hills on the north coast. It hovered then thinned out, expaned to a beautiful half cone.....then poof- three minutes later it was gone. My coworkers that saw it thought it was cool. Then again- a few think this weekend means that surf is up grab the board and hang ten (NOT!!!-storm waves mean strong breaks on the beach and wicked currents- not good for swimming or surfing). To me these are signs of unstable and nasty weather to come, even though I sorely hope I am wrong. We can only watch and wait. To all-good night and be safe.

THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF SERIOUS AND STRONG SUSPICIONS!

*Another great job from "Natalee's Freebirds"...we love you guys!

CONFIRMATION!!!

ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS
IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE
WERE BASED ON STRONG AND
SERIOUS SUSPICIONS

In consideration of Dutch law and how Aruba chose to apply it, why were further serious suspicions gleaned from polis statements ignored? It seemed the more suspicious the circumstances surrounding this case became, and the multiple times these suspects changed their stories - the less aggressive Aruban law enforcement became in attempting to discover the truth about what happened to the victim, Natalee Holloway.

1. Aruban attorneys Arlene Ellis-Schipper and Noraina Pietersz who both have/had connections to the the Natalee Holloway case educate via the American media regarding the criteria for arrests under Dutch law - STRONG/SERIOUS suspicion.

ARLENE ELLIS-SCHIPPER - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

NANCY GRACE - 07-20-2005

ELLIS-SCHIPPER: There is no grand jury in Aruba. It`s a different system. You are arrested based on suspicion, on strong suspicion.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/20/ng.01.html

NORAINA PIETERSZ - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

Associated Press - June 9, 2005

Under Aruban law, only serious suspicion from investigators — not solid evidence — is needed for a judge to rule that suspects can be held, Pietersz said.

http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050609/aruba.shtml

2. When Dutch law is taken into consideration it can be assumed that the suspicions warranting the arrests of the suspects in the Natalee Holloway case could be defined as STRONG/SERIOUS.

Joran van der Sloot (search) and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are being held under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder.

A fourth man, party boat DJ Steve Croes, is being held under the same conditions.

The fifth man, Paul van der Sloot (search) — the father of 17-year-old Joran — was being held on suspicion of complicity to pre-meditated murder, complicity to kidnapping and murder and kidnapping Under the Aruban system, complicity is a lesser charge.

DEEPAK AND SATISH

CNN - 08-26-05

After being detained and then released last month in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, two brothers were arrested again Friday in Aruba on suspicion they acted "together with other people" in rapping and killing the Alabama teen, the prosecutor's office said. Without elaborating on the evidence, the office said in a statement that "new facts and circumstances" led them to re-arrest Satish Kalpoe, 18 and brother Deepak, 21.

"They are suspected of the primary criminal act of together with other people committing premeditated murder, alternately together with other people murdering somebody, more alternately rob a person of her liberty with fatal consequences and even more alternately raping somebody," the statement said. "Aside from these suspicions against the two brothers, there are new suspicions, which at this point the prosecutor is not commenting on."

FREDDY

At Large w/ Geraldo Rivera - 08-27-05

BENVINDA DE SOUZA - ATTORNEY : ... The official charges on Freddy Zedan-Arambatzis are intentionally distribute and show sexual images of a minor; intercourse with someone he knows is unconscious and sexual acts with a girl younger than 16 years.

CONCLUSION

The basis for the January, 2007 Superior Court's ruling which denied Paulus van der Sloot compensation on behalf of his family and himself for his three day detainment in regards to his connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway was justified. The prosecutor had in her possession evidence of SERIOUS AND STRONG SUSPICIONS.

SUPERIOR COURT - JANUARY, 2007

“With attention to the lying declarations that the son of Paulus, Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot (hereafter Joran) gave about his last contact on the 30th of May 2005 with the disappeared Natalee Holloway, the suspicion is not unreasonable that he made himself guilty of a conduct that can be qualified as murder, manslaughter, or kidnapping that resulted in death.

The possible involvement of Paulus with that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a tapped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The tapped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.”

The obvious questions remain:

• Why did Aruban law enforcement and the prosecutor fail to properly follow up on these suspicions?

• Why did they softball interrogations that appear to be scripted?

• Why did they not follow up on the glaring discrepancies between the suspects' stories?

• Why did any of the judges ruling in this case release these suspects?

THE KALPOES VS. DR. PHIL-- WHAT'S GOING ON?

Any word on the lawsuit? I'm betting on NO WORD. Am I right? I realize all civil lawsuits that go into litigation can take a long time, but let's consider this case. It's not a simple situation. I am sure each attorney is throwing down motion after motion on all the different subject matter and procedural issues; jurisdictional issues such as Deepak not being a U.S. citizen, yet the interview takes place in Aruba, Jamie Skeeters, a defendant, is now deceased. As someone who used to work in civil litigation, I can promise you that all these things will delay and delay and delay...and I can see this case drag on for YEARS. UNLESS someone settles...and I would HOPE Dr. Phil would never do that! Assuming that doesn't happen, I would be very surprised if we hear anything anytime soon.


But remember this... it always must be on the backs of our minds...Deepak et al are trying to cash out on this cow, but WE CANNOT ALLOW IT!

This following video made me laugh out of my chair. While browsing the net I catch this old clip of Geraldo on Bill O'Reilly discussing the infamous Deepak/Skeeters tape. You all know my opinion in that regard, (Read HERE for an old interview I had with Beth regarding the "Skeeters Tapes") so I won't go on any tirade. I just find this video so comical not because of the content and what I believe to be the truth; but because of some of Geraldo's quotes.

You GOTTA watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGPa2pO3-NM&mode=related&search=

Quote by Geraldo:

"Gerold Dompig, the CHIEF investigator told me MAN to MAN on the telephone last week just before the 23rd of November he told me on the phone that THEY have the original tapes, the FBI also has a copy and he swore to me that those tapes have been altered. Now who would alter them?"

Then in the next breath he states that they are probably lying because they've lied in the past and botched this case from day one.

But what Geraldo, you just said you trusted Dompig's word because it was "man to man"? Unbelievable! What if it Karin Janssen that told you that...would you believe her "woman to man?"

Geraldo, PLEASE remove your head from your ass. We need some common sense out there.

CONFESSIONS OF A KILLER

*Thank you AGAIN to Natalee's Freebirds for all your hard work and diligence.

THE CONFESSION JUNE 10, 2005

Following what can only be considered a cover up by Aruban officals, Internet bloggers with an obvious agenda to shield the truth in the Natalee Holloway case refer to the confession of June 10, 2005 as an unfounded rumor. However, the Aruban Justice Ministery spokesperson and the Deputy Police Commissioner, respectively, released statements to Fox News and the Associated Press.

These statements confirmed that Natalee Holloway was dead, authorities knew the location of her body and Natalee's family was being taken to her remains. These official statements were based on an admission given by one of the suspects - one of the suspects who Gerold Dompig refused to identify.


1. CONFIRMED DEAD - LOCATION OF BODY IS KNOWN BY AUTHORITIES


On June 10, 2005, a spokesperson for the Aruban Justice Minister made a statement to Fox News that Natalee Holloway was confirmed dead and that authorities knew the location of her body. Fox News confirmed this statement prior to its public release. This statement was later retracted by the Justice Minister but it is logical to assume that the official Aruban spokesperson did not pull the contents of the statement made to Fox News out thin air.


Aruban Minister of Justice Spokesperson - FOX NEWS - 06-11-05

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Reports conflicted Saturday in developments of the Alabama honor student who has been missing in Aruba for almost two weeks.

David Cruz, a spokesman for the Aruban Minister of Justice (search) told FOX News Natalee Holloway (search), who was on vacation with friends with a graduation trip when she disappeared, was confirmed dead and that authorities knew the location of her body.

However, Cruz later retracted the statement, saying he was a victim of a "misinformation campaign."

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html


Rick Leventhal - FOX NEWS - 06-15-05

The next day, another official spoke to one of our producers. Edward Croues, a spokesman for the minister of justice, told Craig Rivera he had "official information" that Natalee was "confirmed dead," and told Craig her father had asked police to take him to the body and to do it before the press found out where it was. We reconfirmed the information with Croues before going on-air with it.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159664,00.html


2. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED!

Members of Natalee Holloway's frantic family were were directed to the location where Natalee Holloways remains were to be found. Gerold Dompig's official position within the investigation would imply that he had a foundational knowledge to derived from when he stated to the Associated Pressing that one of the suspects admitted that "something bad happened".



Gerold Dompig - CBS NEWS - 06-20-05

Holloway's family rushed late Friday to an old stone lighthouse beside Arisha beach after Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig told The Associated Press that one of three young men in custody admitted that "something bad happened" to Holloway and was leading police to the scene of the alleged crime.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/10/national/main700829.shtml



3. REFUSES TO IDENTIFY SUSPECT WHO MADE ADMISSION


The Deputy Police Commissioner, Gerold Dompig, refused to identify to the Associated Press which of the suspects made the admission that "something bad happened" to Natalee Holloway. However, prosecutors acknowledged that the investigation was at a crucial point.


Gerold Dompig - Fox News - 06-11-05


One of the young men detained admitted "something bad happened" to the woman after they took her to the beach, a police officer said, while prosecutors said the investigation was at a crucial point. But prosecutors refused to comment on the statement by Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig (search), who told The Associated Press that the man who made that admission was leading police to the scene. He refused to identify which of the three young men who took Holloway to a northern beach the night she went missing made the statement.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html



4. AN ANGUISHED FAMILY'S NIGHT IN HELL


On June 10, 2005, the FBI informed Natalee' Holloways mother of the events taking place which implied that her dauther was deceased. Close relatives were notified. The grieving process had begun. It can be assumed that the FBI would not have contributed to Natalee's family ongoing nightmare by sharing information that had not been confirmed by Aruban authorities.


Dave Holloway - THE MERIDIAN STAR - 06-03-28

At some point into this investigation, as time goes on and you don’t find her, you start realizing that things are not looking good. We got that confirmation pretty much from the FBI on June 10. They came to us and said the investigation appears to be heading toward a homicide case.

http://www.meridianstar.com/local/local_story_148205455.html



Beth Twitty - 'Scarborough Country' - 07-12-05


HOLLOWAY TWITTY: And that was the day that the FBI came in, Doug Shipley (ph) came in and said that the way the interrogations are unfolding, there‘s a strong possibility that Natalee may not be alive. That was huge. That was the day that—I think, Joe, everyone buried Natalee that day, on June 10.


And then it just—from there, the night went on. There were body sightings, countless. They were knocking on my door. They thought they found her. Oh, no, they didn‘t. It went on from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. It was horrific.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9813596/



Paul Reynolds - 'Scarborough Country' - 07-12-05


[i]PAUL REYNOLDS, UNCLE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY: I know that my sister had a meeting with the FBI June 10, Friday. And from that meeting, she became convinced that Natalee was no longer alive. She called her mother and told her that. And our family was—was—began the grieving process. You know, we were told the report would come out the next day. Later that night, we saw the reports that confessions had been made, that something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, it was retracted. The next morning, there was a report that said Natalee was confirmed dead. And these reports came from the deputy commissioner. They came from the spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice. And then, all of a sudden, these statements and these confessions just disappeared.


SCARBOROUGH: And wait a second. I mean, these confessions were so rock solid that you actually had the FBI coming to you, coming to your family, Natalee's family, saying, we are sorry to tell you this, but there has been a confession. One of these boys has confessed, and Natalee is no longer alive. How do you pull something like that back off the table? Have you had or has your sister had or has anybody in the family had any explanation from Aruban officials whatever happened to this confession, where they buried it?


REYNOLDS: I am not aware of any follow-up information. You know, this seemed to disappear from sight, these confessions did. At the time, we thought that because the investigation is kept secret, we thought it was ongoing, and maybe they just didn't want to release it officially at that time. But, as we see that the appeals, the hearings are showing there's no evidence, but yet we have these confessions, it doesn't make any sense. It's as if they are being hidden or taken away.


SCARBOROUGH: You know, you said—talked about June the 10th. That's when you all were told that the confession had been made, and you said that the family actually started a grieving process. What did the family do?


REYNOLDS: You know, grieving is—it's a difficult process. We were all notified. We exchanged phone calls, making sure everyone in the family was notified. I even had to tell my children, very upsetting to them, very upsetting to all of us.


SCARBOROUGH: Wait, Paul. Are you telling me, back on June the 10th, you told your children, based on the confession of one of these—these punks that took Natalee away from the bar, that Natalee was dead? This was over a month ago. You had to break it to your family, the entire family, Natalee's entire family, because of the confessions, knew that she was dead, and yet here we are over a month later, and they are still claiming they don't have enough evidence to nail these guys?


REYNOLDS: That's absolutely correct. You know, the FBI had informed my sister based on the initial interrogations that that was their belief. That information was given to our family. And it's just—it's a very difficult thing to go through. Grieving should only be a process you have to go through one time. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551822

CONCLUSION

Unfortunately, this was one of the many emotional struggles with baffling and unexplained results that an American family was forced to experience compliments of Aruban officals associated with the Natalee Holloway investigation.


Beth Twitty - DR. PHIL SHOW - 01-29-06


BETH: "There are times when we're thinking that we need to continue, and of course we're still searching for answers, but it's this rollercoaster ride. And it makes me so angry, Dr. Phil, when I let myself fall for information coming out of an official who represents the island of Aruba. If somebody presents you with false hope and false information, it's devastating."

Karin Janssen/Vivian van der Biezen - DECATUR DAILY - 06-12-05


A statement from the office of Attorney General Caren Janssen late Saturday said, "Information given by non-official sources jeopardizes the ongoing investigation and creates expectations and situations that are not based on fact." Police refused to say Saturday whether they discovered anything that would lead to Holloway, who was last seen in the early hours of May 30.


Referring to Dompig's statement, prosecution spokeswoman Vivian van der Biezen said Saturday: "We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources . . . (about) alleged statements of suspects in this case." http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050612/officials.shtml


Rudy Croes - Associated Press - 06-10-05


Then Justice Minister Rudy Croes told reporters early Saturday morning that the rumor that one of the students had confessed was a lie, throwing the media on the island into confusion and prompting conflicting news alerts from the Caribbean. Croes emphatically denied that any confession had been made. http://crime.about.com/b/a/176635.htm


Rudy Croes - FOX NEWS - 06-11-05


The Minister of Justice confirmed that Natalee Holloway is dead, and police at this hour are taking her parents to the location where investigators found her body. Earlier in the day the Justice Minister flatly denied these reports, but now says it was not an issue of the facts of the case being wrong, but merely an issue of protocol. He says the police source initially talking to the AP had not conferred with his higher ups before, but it appears that the facts were correct all along.

"On your question if I can remember if during of the many conversations at Joran’s home that the father said “no corpse no case”, I can say it following: The father of Joran said it in other words. The father of Joran had said: “if there is no corpse it would be difficult to arrest us”.

"The second time was when Joran, my brother and I took the camera to Freddy’s house. We delivered the camera to Freddy."

Police Van Conversation
Between Deepak and Satish

22 June 2005 (P. 179-181 in book)


Translator: There are a few weird sentences that are difficult to translate. These were already marked with (? ? ?) in Joran's book.


D: I’m not going outside much (in prison), since they’re asking too much shit.


S: When you stay on your own, you’ll start to think too much, so don’t stay on your own. Talk to people. Play domino.


D: I’ve told them that they should arrest Freddy as well.


S: The three of us have been arrested, but he just knows the truth.


D: I’ve told them to arrest Koen and Sander as well. Fucking all of them. From me, they won’t get any hint, as long as the truth keeps hanging. None of them are friends, except for us. Do you get it? Do I get it? (<- this is a Dutch saying when “ something doesn’t make sense”)


S: I have nothing, there is nothing, nothing from me and I didn’t do anything.


D: I’m not afraid of that shit.


S: I’m not afraid. I don’t worry.


D: I want them to get (“find”) the girl, so, but preferably alive. But anyway, if they’ll find her dead, yeh, then that’s bad luck for the family. But when they find her, they’ll know exactly who did it. That’s what I all learned from (? ? ?). I want them to get her. I know (? ? ?)


S: I know where I am. I am close to the truth. I’m always close to the truth.


D: I’m not afraid. I do miss mum and all those things. That bores me.


S: Yes. D: Not that I’m afraid. The worst has already happened. I’ve already come to the worst place, so nothing worse than this can happen, do you understand? But I know, that when I get outside (be released) then they are going to pay me very well…


D: I’m not afraid. It also depends on that fucking statement. Yeh, since there’s one (or a) person who changes his story every time. That (person) has made already six statements, I guess. But they are all pure shit (? ? ?) and I’m still in it (here).


S: (? ? ?)


D: You push (? ? ?)


S: And by let give to let go (? ? ?)


D: It is impossible, swa. When you start that car the whole neighborhood will hear it.


S: Anyway, he seems to know everything better.


D: He knows our rule, we trust him as a friend, like a brother to be close with (? ? ?)


S: Anyway, bad luck.


D: And I also trusted Freddy like a brother.


S: Yes.


D: But he also talked shit, that’s why we’ve been arrested.


S: What did he say?


D: He keeps information behind. You know that Van der Sloot trusts Freddy with his life. Freddy knows what has happened. Freddy knows the truth.


S: I know he knows truth.


D: Freddy knows, Freddy knows.


S: I’ve just said, Freddy also knows about the story of what happened, ask him.


D: Freddy knows.


S: Yes, he knows that if that person maybe has told him some details (? ? ?) that I don’t know, but I also know what that person has told me. That is the first and the story that we made up, that I know (? ? ?)


D: That boy is also arrested, no. Steve. He has been solved too, so then it’s solved too (? ? ?)


S: He didn’t do a thing.


D: It has been solved. (…)


D: Up till today, I haven’t told any shit about him, whether he did something with the girl or that the chick…


S: We’ve only told the truth.


D: Yep, because he hasn’t told me anything and I don’t know it. I’m not gonna lie about him. But the more he talks (? ? ?) I would never never never talk shit about him like: “he did do this or that to the girl”, because I don’t know.


S: Must just declare the truth.


D: I’ll never do that. But let him talk shit. I’ll never say something against or about (? ? ?) him. Never, just tell the truth. And that’s also what I’ve always declared in my statements. His attorney will point that out to himself. I’ll never (falsely) accuse somebody.

Mark Purcell pushing the cocaine story on internet forums: “How about she made it back it the HI, she partied with her friends, one has now admitted to giving her a massive line of cocaine and going swimming with her, except she didn’t return and the other MB’er did, filled with remorse they have spilled their guts.”

Gerold Dompig puts forth the AHATA cocaine story on CBS News in March, 2006: Wherever she was, police now think that while Natalee was with Joran, she died suddenly from an overdose of intoxicants. “We feel strongly that she probably went into shock or something happened to her system with all this alcohol maybe on top of that other drugs which either she took or they gave her and that she just collapsed,” says Dompig. The crime, Dompig suspects, occurred when the body was illegally disposed of. The boys may have acted alone. “We’re not talking about killers here,” he says.


Asked if he has been able to confirm whether Natalee purchased or consumed illegal narcotics during her stay in Aruba, Dompig says, "We have statements claiming that she, that she had drugs. What kind of drugs? "I cannot say," Dompig replied. Dompig notes that police don't have any proof that Natalee used drugs but "that they saw her with drugs in her possession."


Added: Dompig's source turned out to be his brother-in-law Boeti Nar, a convicted drug dealer who lives on the beach selling drugs in Aruba. Dompig was fired for these accusations and other mishandlings in the case.

She is not a drug user. She does not abuse drugs. The only drug we know that she was on at that time was a Z-pac for a sinus infection. If she was drugged, it was because of the last drink Joran gave her …"

AHATA's cocaine story:

Craig Rivera: "It's important to point out that April 14, 2006 there was an arrest made of a 19 year old acquaintance of Joran van der Sloot and the charge was that he was suspected of selling drugs, probably GHB to Joran and the Kalpoe brothers and it's also suspected that this activity may have involved the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."


Geraldo: "Mark Geragos, what do you think? Obviously no dad wants his daughter to be the engine of foul play but it sounds like Dave is making a lot of sense."


Mark Geragos: "Dave makes the most sense of anybody in this story because if they had anything that suggested that these three had anything to do with giving her cocaine and then disposing of the body, even if they weren't the ones who had given her the cocaine but disposed of the body, they already would have arrested them for accessory after the fact and prosecuted them for that, so I think Dave's got it all right. I don't think that any of this makes any sense. If they have somebody who gave her the cocaine or saw her take the cocaine that person would have been prosecuted."


Janine Pirro: "This is about trashing the victim, we do it all the time. How dare somebody say she died of a cocaine overdose when we don't have her body, nobody can prove that. Date rape drug makes the most sense, Mark you're absolutely right. I believe that's what happened."

COLUMNIST PATRICK HURLEY'S RECENT
EDITORIAL ON ARUBA'S ATTEMPT TO
SMEAR THE VICTIM, NATALEE HOLLOWAY:

"Aruba is still trying to prove to the world it is a safe island that is free from criminal activity. They continue to claim that Ms. Holloway’s death was a tragic accident brought on by her own lack of responsibility when it came to drugs and alcohol. This argument is tantamount to claiming that Pearl Harbor was caused by the irresponsible Navy leaving their ships out in the harbor forcing the well-intentioned Japanese air force to mistake Hawaii for bombing exercises in the Sea of Japan. Natalee Holloway will never be defined as a cocaine user in life or in death despite the Aruba publicity machine and the criminals who oil it."

PAULUS AND HIS "BUDDY SYSTEM"

**Thank you Natalee's Freebirds for this great submission! Rock on!

A clear picture has emerged in regards to Paulus van der Sloot and his connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The image appears to reveal that professional and personal relationships within all levels of the Dutch/Aruban administrations, as well as the judiciary, have resulted in preferential treatment - preferential treament which implies that a friend and colleague will never be held accountable for his participation in the events that occurred on Aruban soil during the early hours of May 30, 2005.

3. NO LONGER A SUSPECT

'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 11-14-05

COSBY: ... Late Friday, an Aruban judge said Paul Van Der Sloot is no longer a suspect in the search for the Alabama teen. In fact, Paul Van Der Sloot could even receive damages from the government of Aruba after being held for three days in an Aruban jail


4. AWARDED COMPENSATION - DETAINMENT NOT JUSTIFIED


Expatica News - 08-03-06

AMSTERDAM — Dutchman Paul van der Sloot, father of the chief suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, has been awarded financial damages. A court on the autonomous Dutch island of Aruba ruled that Paul van der Sloot was arrested and detained for four days without due cause last year as part of the investigation. He was awarded 50,000 Aruban Guilders in compensation. This is equal to EUR 21,800 or USD 27,900.


5. COMPENSATION APPEALED

FOX NEWS - 08-08-06

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Aruban prosecutors said Tuesday they will appeal an order to compensate a man detained in the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway. A judge on the Dutch Caribbean island ruled on July 28 that the prosecutor's office should pay $30,190 to Paulus van der Sloot, a former justice official in Aruba who was detained in the case for three days, for defamation and legal fees. "The public prosecutor's office does not agree with the amount granted, since this is much higher than usual," spokeswoman Mariaine Croes said.


6. GOOD CONDUCT DOCUMENT

Bon Dia Aruba - 01-06-06

On the basis of this letter, the attorney told the judge that the prosecutor let it be known that the case against van der Sloot was over. The judge said in his decision that he is in agreement with the attorney. Given that the prosecutor herself said that Mr. van der Sloot is no longer a suspect, which according to the judge can be looked at as the prosecutor saying that the case is over, since the prosecutor will no longer pursue the case. This signifies that Paul van der Sloot will soon start working as a lawyer in Aruba and the case he brought forth against the Public Prosecutor will not go forward since he obtained his good conduct document, which is the document he was missing to be registered as a lawyer.

7. SWORN IN AS AN ATTORNEY

Aruba Today - 01-18-06

Paul Van Der Sloot, once held in connection with the disappearance of an Alabama teenager was cleared on of suspicion in the case last November and has now been installed in the capacity of a lawyer on the island. Paul van der Sloot entered the courthouse yesterday to present his application to the “raad van toezict” (Supervisory Commission) and the members of the Aruban Lawyers Association. The commission, together with the lawyers association reviewed his application and attached documents, concluding that he satisfied the qualifications to be accepted as an active lawyer working on the island of Aruba.


8. JOINS ANTONIO CARLO'S LAW FIRM

Expatica News - 02-17-06

Joran is represented by lawyer Antonio Carlo, who is also Paulus van der Sloot's boss on Aruba. Paulus van der Sloot joined Carlo's legal firm as a lawyer in January this year.


9. COMPENSATION DENIED - DETENTION JUSTIFIED

Aruba Diario - 02-14-07

The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions.

THE SUPERIOR COURT RULING

The implications encompassing the rulings of the Superior Court in January, 2007 are very far reaching, and many questions are left unanswered. The ruling which denied Paulus van der Sloot compensation and the ruling which deemed that his detention was justified were based on Paulus' own declaration as well as incriminating wiretaps.


1. Was the Judiciary protecting Paulus van der Sloot?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot released after only three days of detention on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot declared in a ruling by the Aruban court to no longer be a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot initially awarded compensation for wrongful detention by the Aruban court?


Inquiring minds want to know if the judge/s who ruled in these three court proceedings were unaware of the wiretap and declaration which were revealed by the Superior Court in January, 2007 or - was there preferential treatment involved? Also - was the judge/s unaware of interrogator Lt. Roland Tromp's contention that Paulus van der Sloot changed his declaration regarding his knowledge/participation in the events pertaining to the morning of May 31, 2005?


2. Was Karin Janssen part of the coverup?


Karin Janssen's professional capacity dictated that she was in a position of knowledge when she wrote the letter of recommendation on Paulus van der Sloot's behalf - the letter of recommendation which was required if Paulus was to receive his accredidation as a qualified attorney. As the prosecutor for the Natalee Holloway investigation - Janssen had to have been aware of the evidence revealed by the Superior Court in January, 2007 which denied Paulus compensation for wrongful detention and also deemed his detention as justified.


Also - when the letter of recommendation was submitted - the prosecutor of the investigation had to have been aware of interrogator Lt. Roland Tromp's contention regarding Paulus' changing declarations concerning the morning of May 31, 2005. Inquiring minds want to know why Karin Janssen bowed to the threat of a lawsuit for non-compliance and thereby composed the letter of recommendation.


3. Why does Paulus van der Sloots' non-suspect status as well as his attorney status remain unchanged?


When the January, 2007 ruling of the Superior Court is considered - the rulings which deemed that Paulus' detention was justified based on his own declaration as well as incriminating wiretaps - inquiring minds want to know why the earlier court decision that ruled Paulus was no longer a suspect has not been reversed and ... why does this man continue to legally hold a position as a practicing attorney on the Island of Aruba?

GRACE: … Jossy, regarding the connection, what I perceived to be a close connection between the judge, Paulus Van Der Sloot and the retired chief of police who initially handled Natalee`s case, Van Der Stratten, were they friends?


MANSUR: Of course, they were friends. It stands to reason they were friends because Paul Van Der Sloot had many friends within the police department; he had many friends within the Department of Justice. And he had many friends with -- and he was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work


Lt. Roland Tromp - Interrogator - CBS NEWS - 08-05-05

Tromp, who declined to provide details about exactly what investigators believe happened to Holloway, said that Paul van der Sloot has also changed his account the night Holloway vanished.

"Why should you do that if you are telling the truth?" he said.

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!
