Natalee Holloway: Aruba, Still Stuck on Stupid … Besides Suing Greta and the Media, Here are Some other Suggestions

 

Just recently Aruba and the AHATA sent a letter to Greta Van Susteren threatening legal action if they continued to slander Aruba regarding their tourism and the Natalee Holloway investigation. Slander was defined by actually telling the truth as to what has transpired since the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005. This is why its so easy to boycott Aruba. When people take so little responsibility for their actions and blame others, it becomes an easy call to condemn.

Besides the obvious, that there is freedom of speech in the United States, criminal defense attorney Michael Cardoza pointed to another obvious fact when it comes to proving damages.

If you are sued, you can talk about it even more. This law suit is about as well thought out as their investigation was, or this threatened lawsuit.

How are they going to prove damages, number one? Damages cannot be speculative. (Read full transcript HERE)

Since Aruba wants to ridiculously threaten people with legal action who are doing nothing more that stating the truth, we thought we would provide Aruba a further list of people that they need to sue who are to blame for their countries dwindling tourism.

VAN SUSTEREN: The other thing is that nothing is stated in here, nothing specific, nothing at all. What is it that we said? That they have not solved the case?

WILLIAMS: That there are idiots down there doing the investigation.

Here are some more suggestions, feel free to add your own as well.

#1. Menno Dolman, criminal law scholar of the University of Amsterdam and Hans Nijboer, criminal law expert of the University of Leiden. Both of these astute criminal scholars criticized and referred to the Aruban investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway as follows:

  • It is incomprehensible that police, after an important tip about the location of Natalee Holloway’s body, to not go search immediately.”
  • “This is very strange”. “Normally the area is closed off immediately, to dig and search for clues, but not in Aruba”.
  • “Total madness”
  • “This is a total error”.
  • “You do not give out information that only the guilty could know.”

#2. Steve Cohen, the Aruban Government Spokesman. Cohen had constantly made statements that the case was botched in the first 48 hours and even made a reference on Court TV during an interview with Red that evidence may have disappeared. Watch the VIDEO here.

The misses opportunities happened within the first 48 hours … But I will agree with Red, there is no question that the physical evidence that existed at that point which was critical in solving this case either disappeared or was not there.

It was Steve Cohen who was the one who said that “suspects had sex with Natalee Holloway”. Then Cohen took back those comments as the OM and ATA became incensed and unhappy over his truthfulness.

#3. Joran Van der Sloot Defense attorney Joe Tacopina. How many times did Joe Tacopina call the Aruba police, prosecutors and investigators incompetent? Also, Joe Tacopina needs to be sued for his continual throwing mud against the wall defense of Joran Van der Sloot. After all, what’s good for Joran Van der Sloot is terrible for Aruba.

#4. Joran Van der Sloot. In many ways, including the obvious, if it were not for Joran no one would ever need cover this case. Also, Joran Van der Sloot has kept this case in the media with his continual need for attention. So many times many had thought the story of Natalee Holloway had drifted from the media’s eye only to be brought back by actions of Joran Van der Sloot like law suits, book deals and being caught on tape. Aruba … your favorite son Joran has affected your tourism more than anyone.

#5. LESLEY VANCE, ALABAMA STATE REPRESENTATIVE:

Well, Tucker, as we had indicated before and we said at news conference today in Montgomery, we have nothing against the people, the citizens of Aruba.  Our concern is with the leadership and the government officials in Aruba.  We don‘t believe they have come forward.  They should have.

Well, you know, Tucker, this is one of the things that we have also that we can do a little bit later on, but we are hoping that what we are trying to do now by the boycott of Aruba will certainly bring the officials down there to the table, so to speak, and do something and bring those who are responsible for Natalee Holloway‘s disappearance, bring them to justice.

And that‘s all we‘re asking, is bring those who are guilty and bring them to justice, and then we can all get on with our lives. 

#6. BETTY NGUYEN, CNN ANCHOR. Add another media type to the list.

Well, you have a book out, just released last week, which talks about your daughter’s case. It also talks about how you feel that Aruban investigators were either corrupt, incompetent or just really didn’t care about getting to the bottom of this case.

#7. The Management of the Excelsior Casino for if an under age Joran Van der Sloot was never allowed in the gambling establishment, he would have never met any of the teens from Mountain brook.

#8. National Geographic. The AHATA I guess will probably sue the controversial travel magazine, National Geographic, for giving Aruba a failing grade

  • “Social/cultural integrity is questionable.”
  • “Inappropriate coastal development and misuse of the scarce water resources are the largest challenges to sustainability.”

#9. AHATA needs to Sue the Government of Aruba for not enforcing their own Gambling and drinking laws. Why blame anyone else when Aruba needs only look it the mirror to see who is guilty.

#10. Add Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian-born American inventor working for Westinghouse, and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a privately backed farm boy from the state of Utah to the list. They are given credit for investing TV.

#11. The Estates of Marconi, Lodge and Fessenden et all. Who? Aruba will need to sue the people who were responsible for inventing the radio. Much of their complaints are that slander occurred against Aruba and much of it came over the radio waves.

#12. Wilbur and Orville Wright. If it were not for the Wright Brothers inventing the first airplane, Natalee Holloway and the other teens from Mountain Brook would never have been able to go to Aruba in the first place. Wilbur and Orville bear some of the blame here and need to be added to the law suit.

#13. The AHATA needs to sue the AHATA. All the AHATA has dome is bring further negative attention on themselves and Aruban tourism.

CARDOZA: One thing I do now, that when things happen, like Aruba — people forget about them rather quickly. In a year or so, even if, assuming, which I doubt, tourism went down for them, people would be flooding back there.

Now everybody listening is probably saying, what are they doing? Now I am really not going to Aruba. So they themselves are driving tourism down because of this silliness.

#14. Al Gore, after all he invented the internet. God only knows the internet has been the bane of Aruba’s existence in the Natalee Holloway case.

#15. Speaking of God, the AHATA must sue God as well. After all he created heaven and earth.

      Let’s not forget the CIA … I’m told that their latest World Factbook includes statements about Aruba being used by drug traffickers.

      And of course, the International Monetary Fund (I believe) for mentioning that Aruba is a center for money-laundering. (Dan in Texas, I believe, can produce the specific article.)

      Nor should we overlook the Dutch legislator who said that Aruba, and indeed all the Netherlands Antilles, were run by thieves.

      While we’re at it, why doesn’t Carlos ‘n’ Charlies sue Dennis Jacobs for saying that it’s known that drugs are put in drinks there? Hmmm … maybe because you can’t sue for slander when what is said is the truth?

      Oh, yes, better sue Dompig … he said that J2K are “guilty as hell.”

      Where’s Jan van der Straaten, the former chief of police who said he knew Natalee was dead because “I’ve seen the evidence and you haven’t”? Why hasn’t he been forced to disclose this evidence?

      Maybe these will do for starters….

    2. downloadingdaddy on March 18th, 2008 10:46 am

      Don’t forget all of us scared monkeys need to be sued too.

    3. Richard on March 18th, 2008 10:48 am

      How could I forget American Airlines? Remember back (the thread is somewhere here) when the airline was threatening to shut down its Puerto Rico flights to Aruba because air traffic controllers were so negligent and incompetent as to constitute a danger?

    4. Richard on March 18th, 2008 10:51 am

      It goes without saying that the guy who wrote the article about the role of the Mafia on Aruba should be sued. Imagine getting the idea that organized crime had a role there.

      American Traci Allen of Boston should definitely be sued. She said that she was sexually assaulted in Aruba and nothing was done.

      Not to mention that American woman who, two weeks before Natalee’s disappearance, was accosted on the beach. (Funny that we don’t hear anything about that case, wouldn’t you say? Well, no, it’s not really ‘funny’….)

    5. Miss-Underestimated on March 18th, 2008 11:41 am

      I think that Gerald Dompig can be added to the list.

      He after all said that they suspect confessed and is leading the police to the body.

      Anita and Paulus can be added also, they allowed Joran to gamble and drink underage, therefore promoting the lack of scrunity by Aruba to regulator minors in bars and casinos.

    6. MissKatiekatie2u on March 18th, 2008 12:13 pm

      Aruba
      is run by the mob… which it seems… pauulus is deeply involved and all the judicial system.. all bought and paid off.. theres no law and order in that country
      karen jannsen is a slob and pig.. dompig’s name fits him well…they sure have alot of folks to sue dont they..
      do they not sleep at night in aruba
      they stay up all night counting money.. find ways to try to make it up.. so lets sue the u.s mean while we will employ their lawyers.. lowe.. whom was recently added to help with tourism..

    7. txchic on March 18th, 2008 1:14 pm

      if tourism weren’t down (which is what they claim), they wouldn’t be suing. this just proves that the aruban government has been putting out false economy reports. doesn’t surprise me after hearing their crime statistics were false.

    8. MissKatiekatie2u on March 18th, 2008 1:41 pm

      ARUBA
      IS TRYING TO SHIFT THE BLAME ON THE LACK OF TOURISM ON THE UNITED STATES.. WHEN INDDED ITS BECAUSE .. NO ONE IS SAFE IN AN ISLAND THAT HAS NO LAWS AND DOES NOT PROTECT THE SAFETY OF TOURISTS.
      THEY HAVE DISREGARD FOR AMERICANS WHO FALL VICTIMS TO CRIME ON THEIR ISLAND.
      HOW DO THEY ATTEMPT TO HOLD THE U.S RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR INEPTNESS.
      DOMPIG..JANNSEN.. ALL OTHERS.. HAVE CHOSE TO PLAY FAIR… THEY CHOSE TO COVER UP A CRIME .. THAT WAS COMITTED BY PAUULUS VANDERSLOOTS SON. FOR THAT THEY ARE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY THE PRICE.. HOW VALUABLE IS PAUULUS AND JORAN TO THEM .. THAT THEY WOULD GO LENGTHS TO COVER UP.. WHAT IS THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH PAUULUS OTHER THAN A WORKING RELATIONSHIP..
      WONDER IF PAUULUS IS BEGINING TO FEEL THE PRESSURE FROM HIS CRIME BOSSES…BECAUSE HE IS AND FRANENSTEIN JR ARE GENERATING SO MUCH ATTENTION.ATTENTION

    9. MissKatiekatie2u on March 18th, 2008 1:42 pm

      They need to sue themselves for allowing 2 butt ugly people like paulus and anita have a child. What good did they possibly expect to get out of a child from them? They were probably lucky he came out no worse than frankenstein.

    14. Carpe on March 18th, 2008 3:14 pm
    15. Allan on March 18th, 2008 3:54 pm

      They must stay on drugs in Aruba or they are burnt out.
      Its for sure they just can’t tell the truth. They have lied so many times they remind me of Joran punk
      killer a@@..

    16. brie on March 18th, 2008 4:30 pm

      Aruba sues the world because they don’t want to solve a crime…..how utterly ridiculous….now, even more bad publicity given to that piece of crap island…they bring it all on themselves…probably angry with Greta because she now believes Joran is guilty…all brought on by none other than Joran, the murderer….no, no, no don’t call the police!!!!!

      Throughout those 20 hrs of videos, Joran confessed 10 times…..and they still do nothing…it only takes 1 confession…

    17. DAURY is PAULUS on March 18th, 2008 4:47 pm

      paulus is a loser, anita is a loser

      losers protecting their loser punk killer gangsta

    18. Sharon Chicago on March 18th, 2008 4:53 pm

      So Joran is video taped confessing he was with Natalee when she died and called someone to dump her in the ocean…and he went home and slept well that night….

      All of us are outraged and want him arrested…. but the judge says there is not enough evidence…

      Joran is walking free today… and Aruba wants to sue Greta….I pray all of those croaks in their government who helped cover up Natalee’s murder and helped the killers will all pay for their dirty crimes…..

      This has been a sick nightmare… but I do believe in the end they all will have to pay for their crime of murder.

    19. misskatie on March 18th, 2008 7:54 pm

      sharon
      I agree with you.. they will pay in the end.
      how much more will aruba tolerate pauulus and his frankenstein spawned son.. they have to be fed up with him by now.. its got to be getting old.. does anyone know why we havent heard anything from joran… perhaps they finaly have him held up somewhere sedated with heavy doses of trazadone..
      I wonder how many people in aruba.. are begining to hate aruba.. maybe some of his own will get tired of the publicity.. he isnt worth it..
      they need to let us have joran and pauulus.. we can take them to the meanest prison.. put them out in population and see how fast they coward down.. they will be running and crying from bubby.. like the little bitchs that they are.. that meaning pauulus and joran and his fugly mama

    20. misskatie on March 18th, 2008 7:57 pm

      meaning aruba has got to be hating the sloots by now.. and all the mess they created.. bib bubba would love to have his day with those two..

    21. always 1 on March 18th, 2008 8:08 pm

      wow carpe, you are brillant and scary at the same time…..

    22. Ray on March 18th, 2008 8:22 pm

      The average IQ on the island Aruba must be about 50,or lower.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA, THE LIFE,WIFE,GIRLFRIEND OR DAUGHTER YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.

    23. always 1 on March 18th, 2008 8:37 pm

      carpe, and the puppy you put with Natalees picture….was that to protect her….that was so sweet…..

    24. Bob on March 18th, 2008 8:44 pm

      Can we get the name of this US “attorney” ??

      It will probably be easier to get disbarment proceedings started than to order a cheeseburger, fries (hold the mustard, we’re Northeners), and local foamy brew. We’ll get him reassigned to processing vacation pay liquidations at Bear Stearns.

      Anyone got this embarassment’s name and location?

    25. kayjay on March 18th, 2008 8:56 pm

      Recent post on AlCom says Peter DeVries found out from the freak’s lawyer that he is in Germany because he was afraid for his life. I’m sure he’ll soon be up to his old tricks…watch out pretty blond haired blue eyed frauleins you have a pervert on the prowl!

    26. brie on March 18th, 2008 8:57 pm

      Reverse…Let’s sue Aruba for all the damages that have been done….there are many….let’s bring on the lawsuits…!!!

    27. brie on March 18th, 2008 9:11 pm

      Beth, Dave and Jug have means to sue the gov’t of Aruba…and I hope they do!!!

    28. DallasTexan on March 18th, 2008 9:15 pm

      You might want to also mention regarding Steve Cohen that this “offical Aruba spokesman” (one of dozens so far) – not only said that the investigation was botched, that Joran et al. had sex with Natalee, but in the true spirit of hypocisy, went to the jail on the day of Joran’s release to celebrate and enjoy photo ops with Rape/Murder suspect #1… (Joran).

      Imagine if a US official posed for photos, celebrated with and greeted someone suspected of raping and murdering a young woman from another country…

      Talk about ‘stuck on stupid’ – that is an understatement. Aruba is “stuck on unbearably offensive” – from lying and slandering “press people” like Julia Renfro – to government spokesmen back-slapping psychotic murderers for the benefit of the cameras..

      I hope this cesspool loses all tourist dollars and floats off into the sea.

    29. brie on March 18th, 2008 9:15 pm

      Joran says in his video “Why does this ALWAYS happen to me…meaning it has happened before….HOW MANY MORE….

    30. kiltie65 on March 18th, 2008 9:22 pm

      Jossy claims Joran is in Germany, too, staying with an Uncle. Can’t understand why he is free to travel?

    31. Bob on March 18th, 2008 9:29 pm

      Blue Ray or HD-DVD? Any truth to the rumor Johnny Depp is reading a new follow-up script to his last movie release…”At World’s End”?

      We hear it’s being titled…”Perverts of the Caribbean”. Is it a documentary? Someone’s biography? Catchy!

    32. misskatie on March 18th, 2008 9:57 pm

      wont be long before joran gets restless in germany. remember he has no self control and craves attention..
      so he is afraid for his life.. doesnt pauulus know that he tooo is just as hated as frankenstein jr.
      this isnt going to go away for them.. like they wished…..
      in fact it’s going to get worse.. with all thats going on now..and and and how long will aruba tolerate all that the sloots do before they began to protest and demand they leave the crapy island…I am willing to be they get alot of threats.. not everyone is going to accept what they do… JUSTICE FOR NATALEE….CONTINUE THE BOYCOTT… UNTIL WE SEE JORAN AND PAUULUS BEHIND BARS… THROW AWAY THE KEY.. KICK ANITA AND HER OTHER SPAWNS OFF THE ISLAND…

    33. misskatie on March 18th, 2008 9:58 pm

      OOOPS I MEANT TO SAY IM WILLING TO BET

      Dan Gross: Greta Van Susteren rips Bochetto warning on Aruba tourism

      By Dan Gross
      Philadelphia Daily News
      LOCAL ATTORNEY George Bochetto sent a letter to Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren and other cable-news programs on behalf of the Aruba Hotel and Tourist Association, threatening to bring legal action against them because of what the letter called “recent attacks and slanderous statements being made about the tourism industry in Aruba and the Natalee Holloway investigation.”
      Van Susteren mocked the letter on her program Friday night, begging Bochetto to sue her. “Bring it on,” she said, adding: “I will waive all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions.”
      Other panelists on the show, including attorneys Bernie Grimm and Ted Williams, also ridiculed Bochetto’s letter.
      Local guy John Pauly, a former TV producer/reporter, is the media adviser to the Aruba chief prosecutor’s office. He says Van Susteren “completely distorted the letter to make herself look macho,” and once again distorted the story, which is “the very thing the letter was trying to remedy.”

      To Richard (1)

      have you noticed the date that the CIA factbook on Aruba has been updated ? oops, I just see it has been recently updated again.

      https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/aa.html

      The previous altering date was december 2007, the day the Aruiban judge closed the Natalee Holloway case. the reason is semi-official complain from the Dutch officials to our American partners.

    39. resolution on March 19th, 2008 3:53 am

      I quickly glanced through the potential sue list and didn’t see the judges mentioned, who continue to keep jvds & his entourage free.

      Boy, does this list not go on & on & on…..? Yikes!

      Carpe – I like your reference to Barney & Mayberry.

    40. jasper on March 19th, 2008 3:53 am

      By the way, it is not that stupid of Aruba to sue the Holloways / Twitty´s, as well as incorrect reporting media.

      In most cases the laywers will advice that pending the lawsuit parties refrain from any comment, and shut up.

      So we can all go on holliday this Easter without any complains. I can recomment Aruba, during this time of the year. Many under 21 American youngsters who start experimenting with booz and drugs, all legal options in Aruba, the Antilles and The Netherlands.

      If the titel “land of the free, home of the brave”, would be a yearly election title, like the Miss Universe contest, this year definitely The Netherlands would win !

      best regards,

      Jasper

    43. yoyo muffintop on March 19th, 2008 10:19 am

      #42 Misskatie (aka Brie) – why would you take my question as an insult? Based off your posts I can sense your high level of intellegence/outspokenness/tell it like it is attitude and was just curious. Hence the “Just curious”.

    44. kaye on March 19th, 2008 10:25 am

      #jasper 38…..yes, it was updated march 6, 2008……but the facts regarding the economy (through year 2004) and the illicit drug trade (all the way at the bottom) have not changed a bit.

    45. minnesota dad on March 19th, 2008 10:43 am

      Another classic example of attorneys leading their clients to believe they actually could get a claim.

      I really think that Greta got fed up with the crap from Aruba. She was hard on the case, even hard on Joe Taco….then, she had a surprise meeting with someone in an airport on her way to Europe who happened to tell her a few things about the case. I actually believe at that time she was threatened with a major lawsuit if she didn’t back off and 1) put kid gloves on with Joran Van Der Sloot (Joran going on Greta’s interview was nothing more than a media play by AHATA to let American’s meet Joran and decide, and 2) that AHATA/VDS attorney, Joe Tacopina will never be on her show unless a) she lightens up the spotlight on Joran, and b) Joe always gets the last statement.

      For some reason, the threat was serious enough that Greta caved for a while. Now I think she gets it and knows that she was scammed.

      They can try to sue her, but Aruba is a country…last time I checked defamation laws a country or a public figure cannot sue for slander/defamation. Under this definition, I would almost say that PVDS was a public figure as he was a government actor in Aruba.

      This is just attorneys being attorneys. Trying to shoot a shot across the bow of a boat they would never, ever have a chance of sinking. The damage to Aruba’s economy must be way, way over the breaking point and someone is getting desperate. Boycott On, Wayne, Boycott On!

      It leads one back to our friends the Kalpoe’s and their defamation suit….what is going on with this suit? Did they produce the volumes of documents? Who is paying for their attorneys??? Same people that are paying for the Philadelphia attorneys to write letters to Greta???

      calling all monkeys and posters…my suggestion is that the 3rd anniversary of natalee’s rape/murder/disappearance is fast approaching. none of us have given up hope. i think one of the positive things is the american news media has helped us keep her story alive. i have recently started AND i wish each of you would take a few minutes to go to every media website (i.e. CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, Glen Beck, Greta, Bill O’Reily,AMW,Geraldo, etc) any that you can think of, make a list, visit each website and go to “contact”, send an email or letter asking or begging them to do a special update on the natalee holloway case as her 3rd anniversary is approaching. press upon them the importance of keeping this case alive and that there are so many unanswered questions and lies within the government…….i’m sure each of you can formulate a convincing email or letter on your own without my help. everyone here at SM is and always has been concerned with one thing…..getting answers and to the truth of this case.(except for a few buttheads who don’t belong on this site to begin with). god bless each of you who carry the torch and keep the hope alive for natalee and the holloway family.

    47. kaye on March 19th, 2008 11:41 am

      and p.s. …..if my plea to all monkeys/posters is not sufficient enough to get you motivated then i kindly suggest that ALL OF YOU POSTERS read or re-read, whichever the case may be, Loving Natalee by beth holloway and Aruba (the untold story of natalee holloway and corruption in paradise) by dave holloway. if those two stories are not enough to get any decent, justice seeking person motivated then nothing will. god bless.

      On Gretawire blogs right now, Guod is posting that Joran has been arrested in the Netherlands. Most of Greta’s bloggers are discounting it, but Guod claims it comes from Canal One in Aruba???

      LOL Thanks resolution.

      Hey always 1,

      Thank you, but…

      I am not brilliant, Nat is! She sent us

      an SOS CALL, we just had to be looking

      and listening carefully

      in the right places!

      She was always very photogenic,

      all the way to the end!

      I betcha she still is even

      in Heaven. She’s a beautiful soul,

      with a lot of light.

      The dog was just to show that I’m sad
      about how they used & abused her…

      … they might has well have smashed our hearts
      into a million pieces with a sledgehammer
      when they hurt ol’ Nat.

      ….

      I find it so frustrating.

      She did positive things & contributed so much
      to this world… yet she’s dead,

      but Joran continues to stalk

      the streets on the prowl searching

      for his next meal?

      Joran does nothing to contribute to this world.

      Joran is the earthbound version of a deep space

      black hole. He continues to consume everything in

      around him, yet he never “gets his fill”

      … because his soul is very empty.

      I mean to tell ya, that is one mean, petulant,
      angry little boy. He may very well be a big a$$ 7 foot — 250 pund Jethro Bodean Clampett / LURCH
      lookin’ mo-fo…

      … but HE DEFINITELY IS A LITTLE BOY!

      HE’S NO MAN. A MAN WOULD HAVE GIVEN US NATALEE BACK.

      Hey yo,and so we learn more about that Philadelphia attorney, who on behalf of AHATA, directed a cease and desist type letter to Greta and the American TV Media…..why it’s none other than George Bochetto. You all remember George, in 2004 he filed a defamation suit against the NY Times. George has had a rather interesting career, including local political aspirations, etc.

      I’m fairly certain future publicity his law office will get, should he decide to persue this action, will be rather interesting. Greta will most likely be sure to give George lot’s of free mention on her 3rd anniversary of Natalee’s missing show. Yes indeed, negative mention on national TV, on an injustice charged investigation about a missing American female is just what the doctor ordered. Oh my, what was he thinking?

    56. misskatie on March 19th, 2008 9:37 pm

      where is everyone.. i hear an echo in here

    57. misskatie on March 19th, 2008 9:47 pm

      hope when I get back here in the morning there will be news on jorans arrest. supposedly he got arrested with daury?
      Daury daddy ya think or the real daury

      Im gonna have to hire colombo to investigate..

    58. Ray on March 19th, 2008 11:23 pm

      Since Greta was the last hold out for Joran being innocent,she should have being the last one to get a threating letter from a lawyer. How many more have received letters and said nothing.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.

    59. molly in houston on March 19th, 2008 11:32 pm

      Aawww, Aruba is just plumb broke so they are trying to find a way to make more money. A lawsuit was all they could come up with. Stupid Aruba–still going down.

      i wonder how this would have played out if it weren’t aruba, but HAWAII.

    62. kaye on March 20th, 2008 12:58 pm

      i found this interesting article….Aruba: Corrupt or incompetent? Boycott pressure is heating up.

      Summary: Analysis of the latest news from Aruba, current boycott activity and predictions.

      With all the news out of Aruba regarding the Natalee Holloway case, Boycott Watch research has revealed a manic response by the US public as evident by the tourism package purchasing trends.

      Recent numbers show that tourism has consistently been down in Aruba and that Aruba has been making up some of the lost US tourism from other countries. Most telling are the reports we are getting from the cruise ship industry which reports lower demand to the Caribbean in general. Aruba has also reported less cruise ship ports of call visits and cruise ship visitors have reported that stores in Aruba are relatively empty compared to past years.

      Regarding the current mood in Aruba, we have reports that the Van der Sloot home has been vandalized and Yoran’s bicycle, his reported primary method of transportation, has been destroyed. Arbans are reportedly taking their frustration over the loss of tens of millions of tourism dollars out on the Van der Sloot family.

      Meanwhile the blog “Boycott Aruba–Justice For Natalee” posted the transcript from investigator Art Wood who appeared on the Fox News Channel in an interview with Kimberly Guilfoyle, Saturday, February 16, 2008, stating that he believes “Daury” is really “Daddy”. This bombshell report makes us wonder if the Aruban government is competent in the investigation for several reasons, starting with the loss of evidence early in the investigation.

      Now, we are seeing reporters and other non-police investigators leading the way in uncovering evidence in the case. This is reminiscent of the Watergate scandal, where two reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, broke the entire story that was later proven to have been covered up at the highest levels of the government.

      The concern of Boycott Watch is the level of effectiveness of the Aruba boycott, plus the long term affect such a boycott will have, if any. The major factor we believe people have to watch is the prosecution of Yoran Van der Sloot and especially the claim by investigator Art Wood that “Daury” is really “Daddy”. If that is the case, the cover-up will have been more than just by Yoran Van der Sloot and it may indicate that his father may have either taken action to thwart such an investigation or used his political influence or government office status to block the investigation, even if merely asking people for his trust, not to mention that he kept secrets from investigators, meaning obstruction of justice by a judge. That is speculation, but it would explain much of what we have seen, or better yet what we have not seen until the confession video was released.

      In general, Americans are keeping away from Aruba , at least in numbers that are hurting the Aruban economy. Boycott Watch predicts Americans will continue to boycott Aruba if Yoran Van der Sloot does not receive a long prison sentence.

      In the mean time, the boycotters are turning up the heat. The blog “Boycott Aruba- Justice For Natalee” which is one of the leading boycott Aruba sites, is now calling for a boycott of US companies which do business in Aruba, such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Nike, Toyota, Polo Ralph Lauren and Disney.

      These are by definition secondary boycotts and in the cases of fast-food establishments, these may be franchises so a general boycott of these companies may affect businesses that have nothing to do with Aruba. The idea behind these, though, is to put pressure on the parent company. Boycott Watch is not fond of secondary boycotts because they can have adverse affects on entities which have nothing to do with the target at hand. Since the primary boycott is an entity which is far away, meaning Aruba, the more local secondary boycotts may be the only way for some people to express their disdain with Aruba. Measuring the effects of secondary boycotts, however, can be difficult.

      paragraph 5 …….why haven’t woodward and bernstein been called in for natalees case? just joking.

    63. Carpe on March 20th, 2008 3:07 pm

      Regarding the current mood in Aruba, we have reports that the Van der Sloot home has been vandalized and Yoran’s bicycle

      ….

      Oh, yes Aruba, that is getting tough on crime.

      We refuse to jail him, but F. his bike!!!!

      Someone took a hammer, & screwed up his basket

      and horn.

      Somebody needs to give him

      a high-colonic enema with the kickstand.

      YESSSSSS, THAT’S THE TICKET! That’s puttin’

      the hurts on him, alright. Bravo!!!! ARUBA U

      get a cookie.

    64. misskatie on March 20th, 2008 3:51 pm

      isn’t it kinda degrading for joran to ride a bike.. why his friends and partners in crime the kalpoe brothers have a car. why didnt daddy daury buy him a car…most boys want a car.. whats wrong with this picture.
      I am sure the looting at the sloots compound….will not be an isolated incident get used to it vandersloots.. many people on ONE CRAPPPY!!! island HATE and RESENT your family..being there so get used to it ..it’s not over…. perhaps they can buy gilligans island…my hats off to whomever looted the sloots compound…. keep up the good work…

    65. kiltie65 on March 20th, 2008 8:58 pm

      Misskatie: You’ve hit on something here. Only boy that age who doesn’t have a car must be Joran. Why not? Even Deepak had a car…probably the only reason Deepak and Satish were allowed in Joran’s circle…transportation for Joran. Is there some medical reason Joran can’t get a license? Seizures? Unstable temperament (rage)? Can’t pass a written test? Be interesting to know, but highly unlikely we’ll find out if it is to his detriment.

    66. misskatie on March 20th, 2008 9:33 pm

      kiltie65

      Now that you think of it seems odd huh?
      even so if his friends transported him .. you would think . why wouldnt someone his age want a car. thats the age kids are proud to get their first car.. we know money isnt a problem with pauulus, he seems to have given his son everything.. mostly money for gambling and drinking. I just dont get it.
      perhaps there is something wrong with him… I am a mental health counselor and have dealt with many clients that had similar behaviours like joran.
      he seems maniac with sociopathic behaviours strange that : .
      he rides a bike around the island . how ghetto..
      I would think he would feel insecure, Inferior and super inadequate hanging out with his pals.. cruising the hood in their cars.
      and another thing I find strange .. unlike some of his working friends.. he doesnt have a job. most teens want to work and have a car when they are in high school .. whats wrong here…he seeminly has no goals and absolutely no boundaries. you can thank his parents for the finished product.. maybe he doesnt know how to drive.. the only thing he runs is his mouth..he has to act the way he does.. to make up for all he lacks as a normal person.
      he is far from normal..
      ONE PITIFUL DUDE…

    67. Dogcheck on March 28th, 2008 1:51 pm

      BOYCOTT…BOYCOTT…BOYCOTT…
      I think there are many people who could sue Joran VanderSlut
      1. The two holiday Inn security guys that were put in prison by the pointed finger of Joran.

      2. The mysterious daury.

      3. I also think its time now the Kalpoe brothers speak up and tell what they know of joran and his fathers murder coverup and then they could sue Joran and Paulus.

      4.Maybe the holloways can sue the Aruban casinos and blame them for the death of their daughter since they allowed joran to drink and gamble illegaly, because of them perhaps Natalee would be alive today. She would have never met Joran and the aruban corrupt casinos failed to protect us citizens.

      5. WHY DOESNT ARUBA SUE JORAN AND PAULUS FOR RUINING THE REPUATION OF ONE HAPPY ISLAND?? WHAT THE HELL DOES GRETA HAVE TO DO WITH LOSS OF ARUBIAN TOURISM? WOW YOU CAN SEE NOW HOW THICK THESE PEOPLE ARE. SUE JORAN DUMB NOT A PERSON DOING HER JOB AND GIVING FACTS THATS HER JOB. YOUR ONLY JOB NOW IS TO SAVE YOUR ISLANDS REPUTATION MAYBE START IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND SUE JORAN!! DUMB
