BOYCOTT WATCH REPORT: ARUBA BRIBED AIRLINES & HOTELS TO REPORT FALSE TOURISM

July 21, 2009

Boycott Watch Exclusive - Special thanks to True Crime reporter Michelle Simonsen for her blog entry which resulted in this report.

In a February, 2008 appearance on Fox News, Boycott Watch President Fred Taub discussed how tourism was down in Aruba while Neil Cavuto reported skyrocketing tourism numbers. While that may have been confusing to some viewers, Fred Taub and his numbers were vindicated today in a report by Natalee Holloway and true-crime blogger Michelle Simonsen where she quoted an Aruban official admitting Aruba paid American Airlines a bribe to keep flying to Aruba despite low tourism.

In Michelle's report, Aruba claims the low tourism numbers were because of terrorism and terrorist threats, but that clearly means boycotts in English. The fact is that Aruba denied the affect of the boycott inspired by the disappearance, and we believe murder of Natalee Holloway. In fact, Aruba first claimed that tourism was up when the numbers were actually down in light of the boycott, a story Boycott Watch broke by exposing a Central Bank of Aruba report showing the Aruba economy shrinking between six and eight percent when Aruba tourism officials claimed tourism was up ten percent.

Later, when Joran Van Der Sloot was exposed as having a direct link to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, there were several media reports of vandalism at the Van Der Sloot home by people who were hurt economically by the Aruba boycott, all the while Aruba was still reporting record tourism numbers. A few months ago, however, Boycott Watch reported that Aruba finally admitted Aruba lied and that Boycott Watch was right about their tourism reports all along.

Today we have the new revelation that Aruba bribed American Airlines, and probably others airlines as well to keep their flight schedules, no doubt because Aruba did not want to admit to actual lower tourism numbers. As a corollary, Boycott Watch believes hotels must have been bribed to block out rooms as well to create the illusion of sold out vacation packages, which explains why hotel rooms were booked when airlines tickets were sold, apparently to ghosts, and this news has caught up with politicians in Aruba who are appear to be running like rats from a sinking ship as the Dutch government investigates the Aruba leadership.

By bribing airlines to fly empty planes to Aruba, Aruba maintained the appearance of high tourism numbers while the airlines still made money on those flights, probably calling their flights booked. This correlates to the time Aruba claimed to be "investing" in its infrastructure to boost tourism, and Boycott Watch now understands what that those investments were.

"I remember hearing news reporters saying they were unable to get hotel rooms in early 2008 which contradicted my reports of few tourists shopping in Aruba, and the reason is now clear - hotel rooms were made unavailable so potential tourists felt urgency to book hotel rooms, and to fool the reporters - Aruba created an artificial demand - Aruba lied again, and we are busting them again" said Fred Taub of Boycott Watch.

Previously, Boycott Watch also reported how a double murderer escaped from an Aruba jail because Aruba is so incompetent, that they left a large ladder inside the jail so every prisoner could escape. "The incompetence in Aruba is staggering" commented Fred Taub. To erase the stigma of the Natalee Holloway disappearance, Carlos and Charlies, the bar Natelee was last seen in, has had its name changed to "Senior Frog's," but Boycott Watch has seen little evidence of real change in Aruba.

ARUBA: "CRISIS? THERE IS NO TOURISM CRISIS!"

ORANJESTAD – Last Friday, Minister of Tourism Edison Briesen responded to a news article, which had appeared in a local morning newspaper on July 9th. In that article, Otmar Oduber, one of the AVP-candidates responded to an assumed decrease of the tourism on Aruba.

According to Oduber, the decline of the tourism was due to the poor governing of MEP. “We are the only ones who have arranged for a more substantial publicity of Aruba within the Caribbean” Briesen commented. “We invested 18 million florins in the market to achieve this.”

According to Briesen, the tourism had considerably increased during the first eight months of 2008. “That was a record year”. The article also mentioned that the American tourism was threatened in view of terrorist attacks.

In the article, Oduber remarked that at the time, there was the threat that several flights to Aruba would be terminated, and that this did not materialize because the former premier Henny Eman negotiated with various airline companies in the United States. “This is entirely incorrect”, says Briesen.

BRIBERY?

According to Briesen, the former premier Eman only approached American Airlines to negotiate an arrangement where AA would receive 50,000 florins per month if the flights continued. “Until now, I have never seen a plan from AVP for tourism-improvement”.

On the comment that the tourism has decreased lately, Briesen responds as follows. “The tourism has decreased worldwide due to the economical crisis.” According to Briesen, there is no report of a crisis on Aruba in spite of the recession, as Oduber assumes in his article. “The hotels are not fully booked, but they are certainly not empty.”

Michelle Says So:

Let's look BEYOND the fact that the United States is having an economic crisis. Let's look at the facts about how tourism has forever scarred Aruba. For over four years Aruba has been living in a fishbowl with the entire world looking down on them and their every move. Some don't care, but PLENTY DO.

Writer and commentator, Fred Taub, of Boycott Watch.Org, wrote 15 articles on Aruba's tourism crisis from 2005 through 2009 due solely to the conspiracy of Aruban law enforcement and government to cover up the murder of Natalee Holloway, and the non-prosecution of Joran van der Sloot.

"ONWARD HO"--DUTCH CONFIRMS INVESTIGATION ON ARUBA

Ank Bijleveld-Schouten shouts to Oduber, et al.

Bijleveld confirms investigation on Aruba--"No Matter What"

WILLEMSTAD/THE HAGUE — No matter what, an independent investigation will be carried out in order to get a more systematic view on the status of the government on Aruba.

State Secretary Ank Bijleveld-Schouten of Kingdom Relations (CDA) confirmed this once again today in a letter to the Lower Chamber on the eve of a general consultation on July 1st. She is assuming that based on last week’s conversations with amongst others, the Aruban Minister President Nelson Oduber (MEP), a communal investigation order as yet could be arranged.

“This and that should appear within short. If it turns out that this cannot be done together with Aruba, then the National Council of Ministers will be the commissioner for such an investigation”, Bijleveld wrote.

In her letter -where she looks back on her business trip to Aruba and Curaçao from June 22nd, up to and including June 25th- Bijleveld emphasizes that she is worried about the judicial upholding and good governance on Aruba.

“I consider it important to carry out an independent investigation in order to obtain a more systematic view of the situation on Aruba”.

She said she made agreements with Oduber on the drawing up of a plan of approach as how to crystallize this factual investigation. “From this factual investigation it must become obvious which measures are required by Aruba, or if the worst comes to the worst, by the Kingdom to improve the public administration and the constitutional state.”

ODUBER'S COOPERATION IN CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION? "OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

Aruba will approach UN if the Netherlands

enforce corruption investigation

ORANJESTAD — Aruba is contemplating an official compliant with the committee for decolonization of the United Nations, if the Netherlands enforce the investigation on corruption and misgovernment without the cooperation of the island.

“Over my dead body!”

Premier Nelson Oduber (MEP) responds to the news that the Netherlands if necessary will execute the investigation without cooperation.

He insists: Aruba will not cooperate.

The Premier emphasizes once again, that the Netherlands cannot carry out an investigation on the functioning of the democracy and the constitutional state, without the cooperation of Aruba. The Kingdom government can intervene if there is a question of a serious threat of these two points based on the Statute, but there is no question of that according to Oduber.

He also had a message for Guusje (the Dutch minister of Internal Affairs, PvdA): “read the Statue and explain to me how you are going to carry out this investigation, as the cooperation of the Public Prosecutor and the police is required, and these resort under Aruba”.

The enforcing of an investigation is considered by Aruba as tarnishing of the self-government and this is in defiance of the international treaties according to the Premier. Moreover, he seriously wonders whether Aruba should remain in the Kingdom.

“They call us villains, for everything; whilst not so long ago, we were quoted as an example in the Kingdom for the success of the separate status, by the same parliamentarians. If they continue to kick us around, there will come a time that we must confer with the population whether we should step out.”

Oduber stated that it would be wise if Minister of Justice Rudy Croes (MEP) would meanwhile take up the matter with the United Nations committee in London. In any case, he is not frightened. “I will calmly wait how they will go about this, as we will not cooperate. If the Netherlands subsequently takes measures against Aruba, then we will cross that bridge when we get there.”

State Council of Ministers

The Minister Plenipotentiary of Aruba in the Netherlands, Frido Croes, will disclose Aruba’s official reaction today, in which amongst others, the matter of the salary increases of the members of the Communal Court of Justice (and the Public Prosecutor) is mentioned.

Aruba is of the opinion that in an investigation on corruption, the role of the State Council of Ministers must be considered, as they namely neglected giving their approval upon the assessment thereof. The assessment of the new salary structure/legal position was established against the legal rules, says Aruba. After all, the Antillean government should have first consulted with Aruba on this matter. Furthermore, the judges personally drew up the Land Resolutions without the official personnel procedure and then submitted these directly to the Antillean Minister of Justice, according to Aruba. The Antillean Minister of Justice then had the Governor ratify the resolutions.

Aruba states that they verbally raised this matter with the Dutch Minister of Justice, Ernst Hirsch Ballin. However, no action was even taken.

Plan of approach

This morning, Premier Oduber said that in spite of the current escalation, he stills considers the conversation with the Dutch State Secretary Ank Bijleveld-Schouten (Kingdom Relations, CDA) of last Monday as positive. “We made good agreements. The problem is that in this case, her boss is answerable to the Upper Chamber, and that’s when they will drop us.”

Oduber is now strongly considering whether to broadcast this sort of consultations. “As each time we consult, it seems they hear different things and then something different appears in writing.” According to him, Bijleveld did promise on Monday, that the agreed upon ‘plan of approach’ to improve the functioning of the democracy and the constitutional state will be available only after the elections in September.

Villains

The comment of the Dutch PVV-parliamentarian Hero Brinkman –who called Nelson Oduber (MEP) one of the largest criminals on the island – elicited heated reactions on Aruba, especially from the party favored by the press.

The headline of the newspaper Solo di Pueblo on the front page read: “Brinkman’s mother is a villain!” Oduber stated that Brinkman himself should be investigated. “Ask him why he left the police corps. If we on Aruba are villains, then he is the villain of the police.”

Politicians of the opposition responded positively to the announced investigation by the Netherlands. “Nel is now being taken by his own horns”, says parliamentarian Otmar Oduber (AVP) referring to Oduber’s nickname: the Premier is called ‘old bull’. RED states to support the Dutch Minister Guusje ter Horst: “The Oduber cabinet defaced the international image of Aruba.”

Attorney General ‘biased’

According to Premier Nelson Oduber (MEP), the Netherlands does not want to include the Aruban Attorney General Rob Pietersz in the study group with which Aruba initially wanted to carry out the investigation on corruption with the Netherlands. Oduber stated this earlier in a letter to his Dutch colleague Jan Peter Balkenende.

An Aruban-Dutch study group consisting of amongst others members of the Advisory Council, the Council of State, and therefore also the Attorney General, would investigate what the true facts were on misgovernment and corruption – which State Secretary Ank Bijleveld-Schouten (CDA) of Kingdom Relations reported to the Dutch parliament. However, Bijleveld told Oduber that the Attorney General could not be included in the study group, as he was ‘biased’.

THE KRISTIN FOUNDATION TO REMEMBER NATALEE HOLLOWAY, OTHERS

The Kristen Foundation for missing adults is hosting a remembrance ceremony at Frazier Park tonight for people who have disappeared.

The foundation will lay memorial bricks for missing people who've made national headlines in recent months – Natalee Holloway, a teenager who disappeared in Aruba in May 2005 while on a graduation trip;

Jamie Fraley, a 22-year-old from Gaston County missing since April 2008, and Carla Vicentini, a 26-year-old missing from New Jersey since 2006, according to Joan Petruski, who started the foundation.

Jamie Fraley

Carla Vicentini

The candlelight ceremony will also include a tribute to Nikki McPhatter, who was missing for weeks before her burned body was located in South Carolina.

Nikki McPhatter

The Kristen Foundation offered a reward for information about McPhatter's disappearance shortly before her body was found.

Petruski started The Kristen Foundation in 1999 after Kristen Modafferi, a Charlotte woman who disappeared a decade ago while working and studying in San Francisco. The organization raises money to help families pay for the costs of searching for missing adults.

NETHERLAND ANTILLES PLACED ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING WATCHLIST!

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration on Tuesday expanded the U.S. watchlist of countries suspected of not doing enough to combat human trafficking, putting more than four dozen nations on notice that they may face sanctions unless their records improve.

The State Department's annual "Trafficking in Persons Report," the first released since President Barack Obama took office, placed 52 countries and territories -- mainly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East -- on the watchlist. That number is a 30 percent jump from the 40 countries on the list in 2008.

Several previously-cited nations were removed from the list, but new countries cited for human trafficking problems include Angola, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Iraq, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, Senegal and the United Arab Emirates, according to the report.

The report also placed the Netherlands' Antilles, a self-governing Dutch territory in the Caribbean, on the watchlist.

"With this report, we hope to shine the light brightly on the scope and scale of modern slavery so all governments can see where progress has been made and where more is needed," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said as she released the 320-page document.

Inclusion on the watchlist means those countries' governments are not fully complying with minimum standards set by U.S. law for cooperating in efforts to reduce the rise of human trafficking -- a common denominator in the sex trade, coerced labor and recruitment of child soldiers.

If a country appears on the list for two consecutive years it can be subject to U.S. sanctions.

Seventeen nations, up from 14 in 2008, are now subject to the trafficking sanctions, which can include a ban on non-humanitarian and trade-related aid and U.S. opposition to loans and credits from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The penalties can be waived if the president determines it is in U.S. national interest to do so.

Those 17 countries include traditional U.S. foes like Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, but also American allies and friends such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Malaysia, another U.S. partner was added to the list of worst offenders as were Zimbabwe, Chad, Eritrea, Mauritania, Niger, and Swaziland.

WHAT DOES FOUR YEARS OF DAMAGE LOOK LIKE?

Has the injustice of Natalee Holloway wrecked a permanent havoc on Aruba’s tourism, economy and reputation for the last four years?

Let’s see…

EXHIBIT A:

 

Google “Aruba Boycott” and get 1,400 hits.

Google, “Boycott and Natalee Holloway” and get 22,700 hits.

Google, “Boycott Aruba” and get 26,000 hits.

Do I need to try other search engines to make my point?

 

EXHIBIT B:

In 2008 alone:

The E! Network put out two “documentaries”.  One was “The Final Hours of Natalee Holloway”; and “20 Most Shocking Unsolved Crimes” in which Natalee’s case was listed as the #1 “most shocking” unsolved crime.

This was above Jimmy Hoffa. 

Above the Zodiac Killer. 

Above Jon Benet Ramsey. 

Amazing!

2008 also gave us A&E’s Bill Kurtis and the famous series “American Justice” that produced an hour special on Natalee’s case.  Using a different take, the show focused more on the ongoing recovery efforts to find Natalee’s body.

Haunting Evidence did an hour special using a psychic and some “ghost buster” toys in order to find out the truth of what Joran did with Natalee that last night.

…AND DON’T FORGET!  The Peter de Vries Special that changed EVERYTHING.

ABC’s 20/20 with Chris Cuomo did an hour long story on Natalee’s case up to date, including the aftermath of the “Peter de Vries Hidden Camera” scandal, and Joran’s “side job” of “alleged” sex trafficking of women between the borders of Thailand and the Netherlands…all conveniently caught on secret videotape.

A “Sex, Lies and Videotape” of the new millennium?  Could be…

Last, but never least…Greta van Susteren’s “career changing interview” with Joran after her multi-month man hunt across the globe to obtain interviews with witnesses and Joran himself who told Greta on camera that he did not kill Natalee, but sold her to an unknown man in Aruba for $10,000 after two brief exchanges in the casinos of Aruba.

Hours after the taped “confession”, Joran contacted Greta via email and recanted his entire story.

 

EXHIBIT C:

Only half way through 2009…

The Natalee Holloway Story was produced by the Lifetime Movie Network and was viewed by a record setting 3.2 million people when it aired in April of 2009.  It was the highest viewed movie in Lifetime’s 11-year history.

 

ENOUGH SAID

When in history has a “missing person-turned-corruption-case” garnered so much worldwide attention, especially after four years?

It is because of the people.  These are the "little people" with a HUGE voice that want to see justice.  They want to see the new developments or what Joran’s new lie will be.  They want to see punishment for those involved, and they want Natalee’s family to obtain closure.

The media feeds off what the public wants to see and hear.  Thanks to the media, Natalee’s case has never “gone cold”.  With every movie, documentary and book, Aruba’s massive wound continues to rip open with an increase of pain each time.

I know there are people out there who have no clue of Natalee Holloway.  However when I mention to someone that I write a blog about Natalee Holloway, and they say, “Who?”  The only words I need to use to jog their memories are “Aruba” and “missing”. 

Ah ha!  It works every time.

Each time just one person mentions her case to another person, those negative images and stories are stored either in one's immediate conscious or will lie in the subconscious. 

Perhaps that particular conversation knowingly or not, will be the cause of one less person visiting Aruba.

OH, and by the way, Carlos-n-Charlies in Aruba closed (due to the poor economy..yuk, yuk...)

DUTCH INVESTIGATION INTO ARUBAN GOVERNMENT, NAMELY PROSECUTION

By our correspondent Christel van Bebber

ORANJESTAD/ THE HAGUE — In her letter to the Lower Chamber today, the State secretary of the Kingdom Relations, Ank Bijleveld-Schouten (CDA) stated that there would be an investigation into the government of Aruba. 

In her letter, she gave a number of her own observations on the judicial process on the island and is of the opinion that a ‘combination of signals are so alarming that there is reason to investigate in order to get a complete picture of the status of the government

 of Aruba’. 

On the base of the results of that investigation, the State secretary will view if further measures must be taken and on which level this should take place.

During a debate in the Upper Chamber last week, Bijleveld said she worries about the status of the government on Aruba. In the letter she forwarded to the Lower Chamber today, she gives a few observations from which she concluded to open an investigation. 

For example, the Public Prosecutor cannot sufficiently focus on the prosecution of offences. This is the actual task of the Public Prosecutor, but this comes off badly due to amongst others, understaffing. The National Criminal Investigation Bureau appears so overloaded by corruption investigations, that other cases are shelved, says the State secretary.

The Public Prosecutor in Oranjestad should have six public prosecutors, and there are only four. “Not because there are insufficient qualified candidates, but on account of a salary discussion”, according to Bijleveld’s letter to the Chamber. 

Furthermore, the boss of the Public Prosecutor, the Attorney General, is losing so much time on troublesome files and solving discussing with the Netherlands, that he barely has time to prosecute. 

“This fact, in combination with the in comparison large amount of corruption reports in the politics and the bureaucracy, worries me”, Bijleveld writes. “”After all, the adequate functioning of the Public Prosecutor is one of the pillars of the constitutional state”.

Communal Court

Another pillar, which worries the State secretary, is the legal authority, which she meanwhile told the minister-president Oduber. Bijleveld reminds the Chamber, that Aruba barely cooperated with the realization of the Communal Court of Justice. Eventually Aruba agreed with the majority of the enactment, which resulted in the realization of the Communal Court.

There is also understaffing in the prison. Bijleveld points out that the situation in the police cells and the prison has improved after the visitation of the European Committee regarding the prevention of torturing, and inhuman and degrading treatments of punishments (CPT). 

The physical circumstances have been dealt with, but she also observed that there are still insufficient qualified personnel and that the treatment of prisons leaves much to be desired. Her main point of concern in this area however remains the aliens’ detention, where not one point of improvement has been implemented since the CPT-visit.
