A LIFE OF MISERY AS AN AMSTERDAM SEX SLAVE
HAUNTED by memories of childhood abuse and years spent as a sex slave, Sarah Forsyth kept the painful memories bottled up. But today her tragic tale can be told for the first time. Sexually abused from the age of three, Sarah managed to rebuild her life as a nursery nurse and applied for a job in a creche in Amsterdam. But within minutes of stepping off the plane in Holland the then-19-year-old’s life began to fall apart.
Sarah was a victim of sex-trafficking.
Her passport was taken away and she was forced at gunpoint to work as a prostitute in the red-light district while being fed a constant supply of cocaine and cannabis. After a year working in the sleazy den, Newcastle-born Sarah, now 33, found the strength to fight back and escape.
Now she has written a book about her harrowing experiences from being a young girl in and out of care homes, then forced into prostitution and her subsequent addiction to morphine and methadone. Sarah, who lives in Gateshead with her civil partner, Tracy, admits in her book, Slave Girl, that she used to have a £500-a-day drug habit.
She said: “I was an ordinary British girl. I was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. I was abused as a child and then tricked into the sex trade as an adult. “I have been beaten, raped and forced — at gunpoint — to have sex with hundreds of men. “I have been made to watch the rape and murder of my friends and I have endured a £500-a-day drug addiction. But I am lucky . . . I survived.”
Investigative journalist Roger Cook, who traveled around the world exposing crooks, took an interest in Sarah’s story when it came out in court in 1997, and it was covered on ITV’s The Cook Report. Sarah, who volunteers at a centre for deprived and disadvantaged children, said she often thought of the girls who didn’t survive in Amsterdam.
In her book she wrote: “Every day I sit here and face what I was and try to accept what I have become, but however difficult my life may be it is nothing to the hell they are still enduring today. “This is not a book of misery or of grief, it is a book of hope. “My life was saved. And for those girls whose lives weren’t, I can only pray for them and let them know that I’m thinking about them and still surviving.”

Amsterdam is a den of jorans, joran is a Dutch Aruban native night mutant wolf predator of playboy-murderer-loser primal instinct. So any woman who is enticed to getting a good paying in Amsterdam is tricked by gang of jorans is in danger of forced prostitution. Natalee was forced feed with cocaine and rape drug rum and killed at Joran van der Sloot's house.
Michelle, you are an excellent sex murder crimes investigative reporter. All the pieces of the puzzle fit together. All the ALE keywords like "cocaine", "OD" and "Hitler" are come from Amsterdam. "Hitler" is a code name for Joran. He hit the girl and lied to her that he's a A+ Dutch soccer high-school from Holland. Natalee was drugged and raped by Hitler Joran in his father's bedroom. She was later raped and killed by Paulus van der Sloot.
Natalee Holloway
Mr Brinkman also rubbed salt into the wounds with his recent statements on US TV channel Fox News. He said that the disappearance on Aruba of American teenager Natalee Holloway remains unsolved because of local corruption, which has helped the main suspect, Joran van der Sloot, evade prosecution.

Kingdom Relations Minister Ank Bijleveld has lashed out at Aruban Justice Minister Rudy Croes for leaking confidential information. The autonomous island of Aruba forms part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. A weekly report drawn up by the Dutch representation there clearly stated its contents were confidential.
In the report, a national security service official wrote that the brother of Minister Croes was responsible for Aruba's increasingly anti-Dutch policy. The document sparked widespread controversy, and the Aruban government demanded the withdrawal of the Dutch national security service official in question.
However, in a letter to parliament, Minister Bijleveld writes she has no intention of complying with the Aruban demand, and says she is concerned about corruption in Aruba and possible conflicts of interests. She also points out that the report was not the official opinion of the Dutch representation
The US government has new interest in the Natalee Holloway case. The breakaway Aruba island could become a terrorists regime and Anti-Dutch and Anti-US. Aruba is becoming very dangerous under the control of Nelson Oduber and Pauls van der Sloot.
Joran van der Sloot 'confesses' to false confessionby Jamila Baaziz*
02-02-2008
Joran van der Sloot says that he has lied once again about the disappearance on the island of Aruba of US high school student Natalee Holloway. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries has video footage in his possession - recorded secretly - on which Joran van der Sloot can be heard telling a friend that he dumped the body of the missing young woman. Interviewed on Dutch public television on Friday evening, he said that this claim on his part was a lie.
Joran van der Sloot - who has been questioned on several occasions by the police on the Caribbean island of Aruba where Natalee Holloway went missing at the end of her holiday there - now says that he told the friend in question ‘what he wanted to hear'.
He told his friend that he had sex with the young American woman, and that she became ill afterwards and then died. He then phoned an anonymous friend who then helped him get rid of her body from a boat.
Speaking by telephone on Dutch television's popular late-evening Pauw en Witteman talk show, Joran van der Sloot said he was retrospectively kicking himself for having said this: "It's so dumb, so dumb. It's really dumb. I said something; something I shouldn't have said."
However, he also added that "It is also easy to prove that what I said is not true," although he appeared not to know how this could be done.
No arrests
Joran van der Sloot's videoed 'confession' is part of the material Peter R. de Vries has put together on the unsolved mystery of Natalee Holloway's disappearance on the island of Aruba (an autonomous state within the Kingdom of the Netherlands).
A well-known crime reporter in the Netherlands, Mr de Vries will be presenting this material in a special two-hour programme to be broadcast on one of the Netherlands commercial TV stations on Sunday, 3 February.
Earlier this week, he announced that, thanks to his own investigations, the Holloway case is now more or less solved, and that all will be revealed during his television programme. He has already notified the Public Prosecutor's Office in Aruba and also asked Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, to come to the Netherlands so that he could present his findings to her in person in advance of the broadcast.
The Aruban Public Prosecutor's Office has since reopened the investigation into the disappearance on the basis of the new material, although there has been no word so far of any new arrests being made in connection with it.

Leak
The Peter R. de Vries programme containing this ‘new information' is being looked forward to on Aruba itself with understandably great anticipation. A local newspaper has already published part of a leaked conversation between the crime reporter and Aruba's Public Prosecution chief Hans Mos, in which Mr Mos talks of Joran van der Sloot ‘coming out'. It's not yet exactly clear what Mr Mos meant by this, although he was talking at the time about the video material of Joran van der Sloot's ‘confession' to a friend.
Mr Mos is also reported as having said that Mr de Vries' material was ‘an essential element' that had been missing from his department's own investigations. He also describes the material unearthed by the Dutch crime reporter as ‘highly convincing':
"If Joran is lying here, then he's hanging himself in an incredibly stupid way, and I don't believe that, because he's an intelligent lad."
Media attention
Peter R. de Vries himself is not all impressed by Joran van der Sloot's explanation for his ‘confession' as given the Pauw and Witteman show. He also thinks the show´s two hosts, Jeroen Pauw and Paul Witteman, were not particular critical when interviewing the youth:
"They were apparently so pleased that they got him to come to the phone, that humility caused them to forget they are journalists."
Since Peter R. de Vries went public with his claim about having solved the Natalee Holloway case, he's been the focus of much international media attention. US television network ABC has already bought the particular edition of his crime investigation show and plans to broadcast it on 4 February.

Early departure for Aruban Public Prosecutor

Last updated: Saturday 07 February 2009 09:55 UTC
Hans Mos, the head of the Public Prosecutor's Office on Aruba, is to quit his position this summer. He has shed no light on the reasons for his early departure. The most important case handled during his tenure was that of Natalee Holloway, the US student who disappeared from the island in 2005. The case, which is still not closed and which is estimated to have cost more than seven and a half million euros, has led to increasing criticism of Mr Mos.
The announcement of his departure comes at a time when relationships between Aruba and the Netherlands are strained. The Aruban Justice Minister, Rudy Kroes, has accused the Netherlands of spying after serious allegations about Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber and a member of Mr Kroes' family were found in a confidential document produced by the Dutch delegation to the island.
The problem is the Aruban success of coverup of Natalee Holloway's rape and murder by Joran van der Sloot has propelled Oduber to seek complete separation from the Dutch Kingdom and become a dictator like Chavez. Mos is viewed as a spy master sent to Aruba from Holland.
Economic ties across the seas.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands still extends beyond Europe, encompassing the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba in the Caribbean. Maurice Adriaens is the minister who represents the Netherlands Antilles' in The Hague.
He said the Kingdom cannot survive without Aruba. The Dutch miliary planned to arrest Oduber for treason soon.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that Aruba is going to impound the Valero refinery for back taxes. Iran is very interested to buy the old oil refinery in Aruba. This event created a very grave concerned for the US government. There are rumors that the Dutch milirary is on the way to capture Oduber and Kores for treasons against the Kingdom. Aurba is very dangerous place for the American tourists.

Aruba is an extremist island, Anti-Dutch and Anti-American under the ditatorship of Nelson Oduber. So the Dutch have already made up their mind to get rid of Oduber and Joran to restore the reputation of the Dutch Kingdom.
The Dutch are very cautious, they know Aruba has seeked help from the Russians. The Russian nuclear submarines can sink the Dutch navy ships in Atlanic.
American cuts to 1 daily flight from Puerto Rico to Aruba due to the unstable conditions on the island. It might stop the service completely without warning. Aruba is in the state of unrest against Holland for its independence. Civil war can break out anytime. Strongman Nelson Oduber is very hostile to the Americans and Dutch government officials. He has the strong backing of Russia, Iran and Venezuela for militray support. Americans are better off to stay away from Aruba.
Bijleveld meets with the
Second Chamber today
~ Progress with constitutional reform on agenda ~
THE HAGUE--The Dutch Second Chamber’s Permanent Committee for Antillean and Aruban Affairs NAAZ will discuss the progress of constitutional reform with State Secretary Ank Bijleveld-Schouten today, Wednesday. No less than ten agenda points feature on the agenda.
On the agenda are several letters the State Secretary had sent to the Second Chamber in the period December 11, 2008, to February 24, 2009, generally about the process of constitutional reform that will split up the Netherlands Antilles, creating two new countries – Curaçao and St. Maarten – and transferring Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba (the BES Islands) to the Dutch Constellation as “public entities.”
The Aruban diplomats walked out of the meeting completely and flew back to Aruba. The outcome is not good for Hague and Holland. Aruban dictator Nelson Oduber sent his ultimatum to the Queen Beatrix and Dutch Parliament, and warned the Dutch Navy not to invade Aruba. Aruba has the aggression to swallow all the Dutch Antillies to form a new country called "United Antilies of Aruba". UAA is a code word coming from the recent Russian-Venezuelan Naval Warfare excercises in the Caribbean Aruban Sea.
