PATRICK VAN DER EEM ARRESTED AGAIN...THIS TIME FOR COCAINE

A LEOPARD NEVER CHANGES ITS SPOTS

ORANJESTAD — Patrick van der Eem – who was the undercover man to whom Joran van der Sloot had made a confession – was apprehended yesterday evening around seven o’clock for possession of drugs and making violent threats. (Note: Amigoe does not reveal that Van der Eem was in possession of cocaine...that information came from the Netherlands news HERE.)

The police arrested Van der Eem in his room in the Radisson hotel. According to the local media, Van der Eem had previously stayed in other hotels, amongst others, the Rui, Westen, and Occidental and had checked-out without paying. According to the Public Prosecutor the drugs, which he was carrying at that moment, were for his own use. Van der Eem is still confined at the police station in Noord and the case will be investigated.

Van der Eem became known through his contribution to a broadcasted television program of crime reporter Peter de Vries on the disappearance of the American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba.

He had already been involved in an earlier drug case. He presumably got the scar on the left hand side of his face during his information role in a drug case. In addition, Van der Eem was confined for a short while last December after a report on battering his girlfriend.

A STATUTE PERFECTLY SUITED FOR JORAN VAN DER SLUT

Let's refresh our memories...not too long ago, Rudy Croes publicly decried after the "hidden video" tapes of Joran's confessions to Patrick van der Eem aired, that van der Sloot is "persona non grata" on the island of Aruba. He was quoted, “Let Joran be the first example of a Dutchman that is not wanted in Aruba”, said the minister, who also knows that judicially, it’s going to be difficult to really deny him admission to the country. “I simply do not want him here.”

Although it is known Joran has traveled back to Aruba on occasion, maybe this statute will banish his ass forever so he may continue to seep into the sick, dark world of Thailand that he seems to love so much.

WILLEMSTAD — When the Statute Law passenger travel becomes effective, a Dutchman / Dutch woman (read everyone with a Dutch passport), can be deported from another part of the Kingdom, and prohibited from ever returning to that overseas territory. This appears from the draft-version of the Statute Law passenger travel.

“A ban on admission and residence can be ordered for reasons of public order or public safety to a Dutchman / Dutch woman who have not been a resident in a country or public body for a period of ten years.

If a Dutchman / Dutch woman has been a resident for more than ten continuous years in a country, then a ban on admission and residence can only be ordered for compelling reasons of public safety”, according to the enactment.

“A Dutchman / Dutch woman, who have been issued a prohibition for admission and residence, cannot obtain or retain a lawful residence in the territory of the country that issued the prohibition. In case he/she has already obtained admission to or residence in that country, this prohibition will be enforced by means of deportation to another country or public body within the Kingdom.”

Work

The Statute Law passenger travel further determines that a Dutchman / Dutch woman has the right to reside in a country or pubic body for a period longer than three months if they have employment or intend to look for employment. (We all know what Joran's "employment" is...I would say that is not "applicable" or legal employment. These individuals should be absolutely shunned by all Arubans in order to redeem themselves and protect their future.)

A Dutchman / Dutch woman may also reside in that country for other purposes. In that case, the Dutchman / Dutch woman must have a medical insurance for him-/herself and his/her family members and his/her family may not form any unreasonable burden for the social security system of the country or public body where they have taken up residence. This latter condition is laid down in consideration of the limited financial resources of the island for the protection of their social security system. Therefore, this condition does not apply for residence in the European part of the Netherlands.

The prohibition on admission could for that matter also be (temporarily) removed by the minister who had issued such. This is possible ‘if the personal conduct of the relevant Dutchman / Dutch woman no longer forms an existent, actual, and serious threat for a vital importance of the society’. (Is Aruba finally getting their act together and no longer in denial in preventing these low-lives that cause irreparable harm to reside on their "one happy island"?)

In any case, the minister will determine this if the prohibition on admission or residence was not followed by deportation of the relevant Dutchman / Dutch woman within two years after the announcement thereof, according to the enactment.

The minister may also temporarily remove the prohibition on admission or residence in exceptional and urgent cases. Conditions will then be deployed regarding the place of entry and the duration of the residence. In that case, there must be ‘conclusive reasons of humanitarian nature’ or it must be ‘in the interest of the country or the mutual country’s relations’.

The Dutch minister of Justice, Ernst Hirsch Ballin (CDA) explained to the Upper Chamber three months ago, that the Statute Law passenger travel is not a result of the agreements of 2006, ‘but it is something that should be brought to one’s attention with the realization of the current cabinet’. It was also laid down in the coalition agreement, that such a Statute Law passenger travel should be constituted.

Hirsch Ballin: “It was brought to one’s attention – that the connection was explicitly made with the realization of the cabinet – that something similar had to be realized at the moment that the Netherlands Antilles will be split up into three countries.

The existing complication in the passenger travel of the Dutch people between the countries of the Kingdom would otherwise multiply. From an international point of view, it is actually very peculiar that forms need to be filled in when Dutch people move in one direction within the Kingdom, and strongly resembles that, which is required for the application of a visa upon visiting a foreign country where relations are limited. This is certainly peculiar as we have the communal citizenship.”

‘Wild-west stories’

The minister of Justice also denied that the Statute Law passenger travel would be some kind of deportation regulation in another version. “Wild-west stories have been circulating in the West, as if this would be some new version of a submitted enactment by a former minister for Alien Affairs and Integration, directed at the deportation of some Dutch youngsters from this part of the Kingdom (who you be referring to Joran?).

These are truly wild-west stories. (Again contradicting themselves...continuous denial of admitting the REAL issue.)

The purpose of the proposed Statute Law will be entirely different from that of the withdrawn enactment. It is good to clearly express this to all parts of the Kingdom, so that there is no confusion whatsoever on that withdrawn enactment, that this regulation is based on article 3 of the Statute for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as this after all leads to a Kingdoms Affair, the status of the citizenship, therefore the Dutch nationality, and certain aspects of the passenger travel of Dutch people as well as of foreigners.”

DUTCH TO THE NETHERLAND ANTILLES:

WE CAN COME TO YOUR ISLAND, BUT FORGET ABOUT COMING TO OUR KINGDOM

How obvious is it that the Dutch don't want to be associated with the residents of Aruba, Antilleans and Curacao citizens, yet they feel free to infiltrate purely for illegal and corruption purposes. The ultimate "fall guys" are Aruba, et al.

One-way traffic

The political party Pueblo Soberano calls the Statute Law passenger travel ‘apartheid’ – ‘the sixth Statute Law’ in the framework of the political reformations. According to Pueblo Soberano, “the presumed free passenger travel is a one-way traffic”. “The enactment introduces a number of conditions for Arubans, Antilleans, and Curaçao citizens, and what is called the BES-islands (Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba), to prevent our people from going to the Netherlands. The party is convinced that this enactment was deliberately suppressed until after the referendum. “The Netherlands, PAR, PNP, and FOL want to prevent our people from going to the Netherlands but have our islands overrun with their people”.

http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/artikel_61198.php

Sounds like the Arubans don't want the pompous Dutch living in Aruba. Maybe they've finally quit drinking the kool-aid, and realized that Aruba looks bad BECAUSE of those certain Dutch nationals who are obviously complicit in a 4 1/2 year old conspiracy and coverup that have irreversibly tainted their island.

Their country has suffered due to a Dutchman (I use the word "man" extremely loosely) like Joran, including his well-connected "judge" father, his political friends, the dutch police commissioners, the dutch government, and the dutch judges involved in dismissing any wrong-doing in the unsolved murder of Natalee Holloway that has garnered such world wide attention for over four years.

They know Natalee's story and legacy will not go away, and they've finally realized how powerful the "little people" can be.

MY HERO--BETH HOLLOWAY

Beth--

I have learned from you, Dave Holloway, your entire family, and the loving public, that we, as people, should NEVER give up on what is right and fight for what we believe in.

As a woman and a mother, you have shown and proven to NEVER give up on loved ones, friends, families, even our enemies. We all are here in life for a reason, a purpose. Since May, 2005, you have changed so many people's lives...and personally I will never forget the invisible, yet powerful strength you have given me and to so many others to pursue the dream of helping others who are lost, hurt, despaired, in need...

It has been over four years since Natalee has been gone...but you and Dave have done the greatest thing...spending a lifetime making sure no one forgets. And guess what? You have done your job...

Natalee will NEVER be forgotten.

Dave and Beth: You and your family have been a blessing to me. I now know and am completely aware to live life to the fullest, to be thankful, and to fight. Both of you have shown your strength as parents and as true human beings. Your actions have not only affected me, but to so many others. Thank you both for your inspiration, hope and perseverance.

We all look up to you both, and hope to be just like you.

Natalee would be so proud, and I'm sure she is aware, wherever she may be.

Thank you!

Love always---

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.”

http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/artikel_59844.php

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.

But no one is planning on going anywhere right now.

"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.
