Aruba: Prime Minister Nelson Oduber “We live from tourism” … Then act like it

 

Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber continues to live in a world of denial. Is it Aruba Tour for Dumthe police thats under pressure, or MEP? By the way Oduber, 9–11 is not the reason why your tourism hit the skids. Stop fooling yourself and stop lying to your people. Your horrendous tourism decline is pinpointed to one single event, the purposefully botched investigation of Natalee Holloway to protect your own. If you care so much about your precious tourism, then bring justice in this case. Without it your tourism will suffer for decades to come.

“We live from tourism.  Since the terrorist attacks in the United States, all sorts of international measures were announced and we have to comply with those.  We would like to interpret these well, so that the tourism do not experience unfavourable effects of these.”

If you want cooperation, then get the Dutch police into Aruba ASAP and give them full and complete rein on the Natalee Holloway investigation. They best have the ability to re-interview, re-question and look at this case from day one to the present. You have all the information that is needed, now all you have to do is act on it in a manner that isn’t cronyism.

Amigoe: September 21, 2006 “Aruba police under pressure”  (full article below)

 

THE HAGUE/ARUBA – “When it comes to combating criminality, like drug dealing, our police officers are pressured”, explained Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) the protocol for the cooperation with the Dutch police today. 

That’s the reason why Aruba wants support from the Netherlands to see how to cope with this and how to resist the tempting corruption.

“The Netherlands is also faced with these problems on a daily basis and has therefore a lot of experience in this field.  We want to learn from that experience.”

Oduber also indicated that Aruba is striving for this same kind of cooperation in other areas, like border control.  Aruba has already contacted the Royal Military Police about this.  “We live from tourism.  Since the terrorist attacks in the United States, all sorts of international measures were announced and we have to comply with those.  We would like to interpret these well, so that the tourism do not experience unfavourable effects of these.”

      “Since the terrorist attacks in the United States, all sorts of international measures were announced and we have to comply with those. We would like to interpret these well, so that the tourism do not experience unfavourable effects of these.”

      What the hell have they been doing since 2001?? How long does it take to implement and interpret safety/security measures? Their leadership and polis should be under pressure to do their job. ‘Tempting corruption’….it looks to me as if they were prime examples of complicity.

    6. Mortella on September 21st, 2006 11:23 am

      Is this the real reason the Dutch are going to Aruba? To assist them with plugging the holes, those would be huge and gaping holes at that, in their law enforcement?

      Maybe this is as much a part of it as the investigation into Natalee’s disappearance. I believe the F-16′s already had a training mission scheduled for Curacao when Natalee vanished and yet the Dutch tried to fool us by pretending they were all sent just to look for Natalee. Why do I get the same bad feeling about these Dutch investigators? Like maybe they will work Natalee in if they have time, etc.

      We can hold out forever but can you, Aruba? The games and tricks became stale a year ago.

      LETTER TO THE EDITOR
      Some Holloway hoaxsters unravelled

      Friday, August 11, 2006

      Dear Sir:

      Thank you for your recent coverage of the two recent court decisions, one awarding damages to Mr Paulus van der Sloot for unwarranted detention, and another dismissing a Holloway-family suit initiated in New York State against Paulus and Joran van der Sloot, which sought monetary damages for the vanishing of the missing Natalee Holloway.

      The internet and entertainment news media fueled a frenzy of sensationalism which spawned many anti-Dutch, anti-Aruba, anti-van der Sloot websites and eventually culminated in some US states’ governments declaring a boycott against travel to the sovereign country of Aruba.

      One website, which counts among its contributors two individuals who have written hundreds and hundreds of defamatory anti-Aruba and anti-Dutch articles on its site and on various anti-Dutch, anti-Aruba hate sites, recently offered up its contributors’ posting records for review and analysis.

      This review proved conclusively that a small cadre of Internet posters, sending messages from a select number of unique and readily identifiable Internet Protocol addresses, used a plethora of log-in names from intercheangable locations to flood that website with defamatory misinformation.

      There is no reason to believe that this is unique to this one website; individual posters on other Holloway-related sites have posted as many as 8,000 messages since the last weeks of March, 2006, and writing styles and content, easily recognizable, suggest that there is a contingent of posters who seemingly spend their days, almost full-time, filling the Internet with messages designed to keep the interest alive and the traffic to various sites up.

      What has been done to analyze the postings to this one website should be done by them all: follow the boiler room-type posters and you’ll follow the money, and likely solve the mystery of the without-a-trace vanishing in the process.

      and deal with the Kalpo Bros who are also involved in this Obstruction of Justice in this case .
      Act and act now with every bit of your power befor it erodes to nothing and your Island is irepairabily ruined .
      These few people cannot possably have this much power in Aruba or the Netherlands to warrent this kind of a coverup .
      I promise you that the pressure that we can and have exerted will NOT STOP untill the actors in this Drama are publicaly brought to Justice and their lives are terminated as they know them as it has been for Natalees family .
      Thank you Mr Prime Minister for your consideration and attention to the resoluution of this situation .

      “They were focused already from the first day, from the get—go, on these three boys. So, it’s hard for them to understand that when we investigate, we have to go systematically. We have to go back to basics. And we have to do it by the book,” says Dompig.

      comments:

      Yes, you wheeze bag… they were the only LAST HUMAN BEINGS
      TO SEE HER ALIVE AND NONE OF THEM CAN GET THEIR STORIES
      TO MESH. Joran has changed his story A DOZEN TIMES or so
      up until this 3/2006 interview, which essentially was
      slated to be an ARUBAN DRIVE-BY CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
      OF NATALEE ANN HOLLOWAY.

      …AND just like in everything else a DUMBPIG does,

      HE IS A PATHETIC FAILURE. Obviously the FBI training
      did not sink in with you.

      —————–
      cont’d

      Dompig says surveillance of the three boys began on the third day after Natalee was reported missing and included observation, telephone wire taps, and even monitoring of their e-mail.

      “Bringing in the prime suspect is basically the last thing we do,” Dompig explains. “When we bring you in, we probably already know the story because we have observed. We have talked to all your friends. We have checked your phone line. We have done everything that is technically possible to know about your whereabouts.”

      comment section:

      yup, up to and including sitting on your fat cushion
      for 3 months postponing a investigative dig while announcing
      to the world you full intend to go an and actually dig one day.

      cont’d
      Joran’s father discussed the family’s ordeal with CBS’ The Early Show.

      “We are telling the whole truth, nothing but the truth. And we spoke all this to Joran to tell the truth,” Paulus van der Sloot said.

      Police say they could not listen in on the conversations between Paulus and his son, citing that they were “privileged conversations.”

      Dompig says he believes Paulus van der Sloot does know more than he has been telling about the circumstances surrounding Holloway’s disappearance.

      But in spite of those parental visits, 48 Hours has learned that the interrogations were intense and tough. Special agents from the FBI were brought in, along with investigators from Holland to conduction the interrogations.

      Dompig says while Joran van der Sloot wasn’t subjected to questioning in the middle of the night, there were late sessions.

      “So he was deprived of sleep but it wasn’t going on for days?” Roberts asked.

      “No,” Dompig replied.

      Dompig says it almost worked. “There were several moments where Joran almost broke. Several moments,” he says.

      the day natalee disappeared, paulus instructed the boys about cells phones, phone conversations, computers, and surveillance. as well as “no body, no case”. 3 days after natalee disappeared. long after they had time to finish cleaning up after themselves, dompig initiates the surveillance and phone taps. that’s only 3 days – the closest to being on time doing anything during this “investigation”. if you think for one minute that paulus didn’t know about the cold case team coming over at least a week before anybody else knew it, i’ve got a bridge in brooklyn to sell you.

      I too have little trust in the Dutchies. They’re here to either put some finality to the case and clear Aruba or at best they will find the raping-murdering VanDerSloots culpable but hands tied do to anything because of previous rulings by the court. The lack of urgency and reluctance to get involved early on speak volumes in my opinion. I hope I’m wrong but I fear they are just on board for higher level damage control.

      spoke to a guy who works for Capital One before
      I left – I told him that Aruba Commercial has
      got to go ! They could have used any other
      destination ! On top of that – the woman does not
      even pronounce Antigua correctly !)

      kelmal -

      I am finding it difficult to imagine you
      attending a baby shower ??
      (someday you might shock us all and admit
      you are of the male species)

      You should have told me – My nephews collect
      nba/soccer/futbol jerseys and I bought several -
      (they had them in baby sizes too)
      the best find was: Manu Ginobili world team
