American Airlines to Cancel Flights to Aruba … Concerned about the Unstable Situation in Aruba.

 

American Airlines send warning to Aruba … guarantee our planes can land without any problems or we will cancel fights!!! A note to the Aruban judges, do you still think that the strike affecting the Reina Beatrix Aruban Airport and planes landing on Aruba isn’t that serious? It’s good to see that American Airlines take safety seriously and the tourist is actually considered in this process, unlike the present situation in Aruba. American Airlines is threatening to cancel flights to Aruba until they can guarantee the their passengers safety and that planes can land without incident.

American Airlines has threatened to cancel all her flight for this coming weekend. That’s what the American airline company has told Tourism-minister Edison Briesen, says Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP). Management of American Airlines told Briesen in an e-mail that the company is concerned about the ‘unstable situation’ in Aruba. The company also requests a guarantee that the airplanes can land without any problems this coming weekend. “If we cannot give them this guarantee, they will cancel the flights, and that is a very serious matter”, said Oduber.

Once again we are presented with a situation where the concerns of Arubans take precedent over the safety of the passengers and tourists who butter Aruba’s bread. Define irony … Aruban public workers striking and in the process destroying the very economy that provides tax revenues to pay their salaries.

“I regret the fact that they are trying to interfere with the landing and taking off of airplanes”. (Airport director Peter Steinmetz)

To make matters worse the cardinal sin of airports was broken when a false bomb threat was called in.

Steinmetz also confirms that there was a bomb alert last Saturday

American Airlines wants to cancel flights (Amigoe: April 15, 2008)

ORANJESTAD — American Airlines has threatened to cancel all her flight for this coming weekend. That’s what the American airline company has told Tourism-minister Edison Briesen, says Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP). Management of American Airlines told Briesen in an e-mail that the company is concerned about the ‘unstable situation’ in Aruba. The company also requests a guarantee that the airplanes can land without any problems this coming weekend. “If we cannot give them this guarantee, they will cancel the flights, and that is a very serious matter”, said Oduber. Airport director Peter Steinmetz indicated yesterday that he regrets the fact that the public employees’ actions are concentrating on the airport. “I regret the fact that they are trying to interfere with the landing and taking off of airplanes. I am not saying that the actions aren’t rightful, but we are not really a party in this matter and we are only trying to drive the economic engine of Aruba.” Steinmetz also confirms that there was a bomb alert last Saturday, which turned out to be false alarm. An investigation on who did it is still going.

      Good to hear that American Airlines is concerned about the well being of it’s passengers. We see again that Aruban justice officials are not. It’s also good to see that some Arubans are joining in the boycott, in their own way.

    2. Dolf on April 17th, 2008 8:13 am

      I asume this has nothing to do with the faa fines?

      it was “good to hear” that they were so concerned with saftety that they flew planes that should have been grounded

      so…erase the notion that it has to do with safety, they were prob. making a loss.

    6. minnesota dad on April 17th, 2008 9:16 am

      Yep,

      This is what it comes to. Aruba keeps on slowly crumbling. The boycott is working and continues to work. Those that have worked the trade shows (bless you) have made sure that Aruba will never recover for what they did…until they do the right thing.

      Government has no tourists to tax. Government has no ‘clean money’ to wash with the ‘dirty money’. Government can’t pay the bills on their own buildings…let alone pay government employees.

      Economic memo to Arubans: Tourism drives your engine. Tourism provides tax revenues. Tourism provides employment for your people. Tourism pays your government’s bills. Tourism allows you to pay your government employees.

      Tourism is and will forever be dead in Aruba. Each day Aruba sinks lower into the abyss.

      Only one thing can stop this freefall….ARREST PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT AND PUT HIM ON TRIAL. The rest will follow.

      So what is it going to be Aruba? Tourist money….or no tourist money? Recovery of a country’s economy…or a sentence of national chaos and death?

      Vive le boycott!

      Great news. An airline is telling Aruba that the island actually has responsibilities to live up to. Too bad that our government hasn’t taken the same stance in regards to Americans vanishing.

      This article came out today. Do you remember the case of Natascha Kampusch, kidnapped in Austria at the age of 10 and held prisoner EIGHT years?

      (Wouldn’t everyone have scoffed at the idea that she could still have been alive?)

      It turns out that Austrian police officials gave DIRECT ORDERS not to investigate leads or evidence taken from the home of her abductor.

      And friends of her captor, in newly discovered photographs, were found engaged in forced sexual activities with her.

      Makes you wonder … but of course, we know that such things could not take place on Aruba, the “one safe, happy island.” And, of course, the fact that they DID take place in Austria does not suggest that they did happen in Aruba.

      Still and all, one has to wonder … what is behind the enduring cover-up there?

      Anyway, here’s the article:

      http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3761084.ece

      From The Times
      April 17, 2008

      Police ‘held back sex-slave photos’ found at Natascha Kampusch kidnap house

      Photographs showing Natascha Kampusch being used as a sex slave by her kidnapper were hidden by Austrian police to avoid a political scandal, according to previously unreleased documents.
      Ms Kampusch, who was kidnapped on her way to school when she was 10, was kept in a bunker beneath a house near Vienna by Wolfgang Priklopil for eight years before she escaped in August 2006. He committed suicide hours later.
      Two months after her escape Stern, the respected German magazine, reported that police had found pictures that showed Ms Kampusch being sexually abused by friends of Priklopil, 44. The magazine said that she had been handcuffed and photographed for “cruel games”.
      The discovery of documents is the first recorded corroboration of the report by Stern. The documents, which were obtained by Heute, the Austrian daily newspaper, outline how Austrian police were told not to investigate further any leads or material seized from the home of Priklopil.
      Related Links

      Austria reels at cover-up of kidnap fiasco
      They reveal that among the evidence, which police were ordered to destroy or hide, were photographs on two mini-DVDs that would have linked others with the abuse of Ms Kampusch.
      Investigators were not allowed to view the pictures and consider charges against other people because senior politicians did not want a scandal before a general election, according to the documents.
      The paperwork shows that Herwig Haidinger, then the chief of the Austrian criminal police, complained in an e-mail to the Interior Ministry that another senior police officer, Major-General Nikolaus Koch, had ordered the destruction of the evidence.
      After Ms Kampusch escaped it was discovered that police had made mistakes during the search for her, including ignoring a statement from a police dog handler.
      The statement, which included the address of Priklopil and a description of his character, was made on April 14, 1998, less than six weeks after Ms Kampusch was abducted. It was sent to the investigating officer but was apparently lost.
      Mr Haidinger said that when he found the statement after Ms Kampusch escaped he wanted the dog handler to be questioned, but confirmed that he received direct instructions from the Interior Ministry not to proceed.
      “We don’t need a police scandal prior to the parliamentary elections,” Mr Haidinger quoted officials from the ministry as saying.
      Günther Platter, the conservative Interior Minister who came to power after the elections, called the claims “rumours and allegations”.

      Sure does make you wonder …

      One big difference between Austria and Aruba … here’s an accompanying article to the above, saying that Austrians are enraged and that the government is on the brink of collapse.

      Imagine; all that over “one girl.”

      No such outcry on Aruba, where the concern is … we want American tourist money. To hell with justice or decency.

      http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3382350.ece

      THE Austrian government is facing collapse after revelations of startling police incompetence and a ministerial cover-up in the case of Natascha Kampusch, the girl who was kidnapped at the age of 10 and held in a cellar for eight years.

      Kampusch is in line for millions of pounds in compensation after it was disclosed that she could have been released after a few weeks in captivity in 1998 if police had followed early leads. She did not escape until August 2006.

      Shortly before a general election in October 2006, a police chief discovered that Kampusch’s abductor had been identified as a key suspect within weeks of her disappearance but nothing had been done. The interior minister at the time of the election appears to have suppressed the news and officials misled the press on her behalf.

      The revelations have delivered a potentially fatal blow to the ruling coalition of the conservative People’s party and the Social Democrats. A parliamentary inquiry has been demanded that could lead to disciplinary charges against senior officials.

      If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem, as someone said. Keep that in mind, Aruba … because you don’t seem to be part of any solution in what is your real problem.

      disposed of Natalee and that he had met Joran
      in a casino, in Aruba, years before this so-called
      “Sting (Stink, IMHO) Operation”

      Esther, if you see Paulus, make some monkey noises for us. If you see Joran, throw some wine in his face. If you hear Anita say “why would she get in the car with 3 boys?”, say “why would any girl get anywhere near someone like Joran?”

      Hey Patrick,

      You have jsut pissed me off about 1,000 levels greater than I was before.

      I am now more determined than ever to
      bring that pathetic floating t-barge of
      an gang-rape Aruba island to it’s knees.

      JUST ANSWER ME THIS: EXACTLY WHO DO YOU THINK

      YOU ARE F’n WITH? Did you idiots really think

      that you could put a cap on the case, & we’d

      all just go home?

      IT AIN’T OVER, b$&tch.

      We’ll keep bringin’ the

      pain. Nice try though, it might have worked

      on one of those dumba$$ Arubans. They are used

      to be gettin’ f’d, spit on,

      and then told to like it.

      U can take that book that you are getting

      ready to put out, & shove it in yer a$$ sideways,

      playa! Do you have the final draft ready, or is it

      still written with crayons?

      whatever it takes.

    54. Don on April 18th, 2008 5:15 am

      @brie You have no idea what living on an island is like. You can’t project your big city attitude to island life. (thats why you all like to come here so much) You seem under the impression that every Aruban knows what the vanderSloots did that night and every Aruban is as guilty as them. That is not sensible reasoning.
      ___________
      SM: Guess what … I do. As a matter of fact I know what it is like to live on Aruba. I am also far from big city life.

      How could every Aruban not know the names of Natalee Holloway or Joran Van der Sloot? If they do not then they are most likely drug addicts. After 3 years, you could not have heard the story or the names unless you have lived under a rock, with white paint on it.

      In any small town or city in America and that is what Aruba is as it has just at 100K people, any event that would have caused such hardship and embarrassment to it, they people would have stood up and voiced their opinion and demanded answers to get beyond the problem.

      That my son is a fact.

    55. Don on April 18th, 2008 5:18 am

      SM Striking civil servants can not stop the sun from shining nor can they stop the sea being blue. You Americans don’t leave your hotels anyway, so you have only 2 chances to get stuck in traffic.
      And otherwise you walk, what can be the distance ?
      _________
      SM: Please do not lie. BTW, just how much does the ATA and AHATA pay you?

      The airport road and in town Oranjestad is a nightmare.

      Aruba could not ensure safety prior to NH, what do you think they offer with less public employees? DAH! Less police, less firemen, oh yeah and less air traffic controllers landing the planes. I guess some how that is not important. How colossally stupid and irresponsible could you be?

      We are starting to see the difference in how countries operate. Aruba does not plan ahead for anything. They just hope nothing happens. So whether they have 1 or 4 air traffic controllers its of no consequence. If an accident does not happen or a crime is not committed, they think its a good thing even though they have provided no safety measure.

      Getting thru life by chance is hardly safe. Americans are not willing to deal with it. They will go elsewhere where crime may exist, at least there are measures in place to deal with the crime and prosecute those that are guilty.

      #44 Ray….Guarantee many girls have been raped on their last night in Aruba. Joran himself pretty much said that. “We have done this 20 times or more and nothing like this has ever happened.” I just feel so bad for Natalee. I can’t begin to imagine how scared she was let alone how badly they hurt her. Hopefully, some day soon, someone will see things how I do. An eye for an eye. Those low life pieces of crap have no idea how lucky they are that I’m not Natalee’s mom. I would take taken them out by now…pretty much the same way they hurt and killed Natalee.

      ___________________

      How can Aruba, One Crappy Little Island, be a safe place for Americans when Aruba sets the standard in 2005 that if your American and your attacker has connections – you are “just one girl”. How can Americans be safe when there is corruption and denial among the Aruba government and investigators? What Tourist should feel safe knowing that IF crime happens to you, you and your family will be viciously attacked when attempting to find out what happened?

    64. Amsterdam 020 on April 18th, 2008 8:16 am

      @ SM and Katablog,

      If it is just about JUSTICE, then why are so many people here suggesting that all visitors of Aruba are in danger and that kidnappers, murderers and rapers are just waiting to attack a tourist and that people shouldn’t send their children to Aruba for spring break. In Aruba there is statstically less crime than big cities around the globe.

      And Katablog, just because the case with Natalee has been screwed up by the officials, doesn’t mean that this would happen again in the future.

      I doubt that should this have happened to an Aruban or Dutch girl, you would have called for a boycott or even changed your vacation destination.

      We get a few airheads on here who keep writing about crime in the USA and percentage this or that, but I wonder how many Arubans have had someone go missing in the USA. And of those, how many were lied to, misled, and had all evidence lost or destroyed by our police and government? Do any of you airheads have any data on that? We try to solve crimes, Aruba tries to cover them up, and believe this,,,,Aruba will continue to lose. One loser island. Now I may make another visit there or to Europe in the next few months, but it will be a search mission. Are you still there Joran?

    67. Amsterdam 020 on April 18th, 2008 8:24 am

      @Libby

      I usual don’t like posts in capitals but:

      YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!

      First nobody here believes Joran, then everyone DOES believe his so-called confession but only the part that she died in his presence and that she was dumped in sea but not the part that she died of natural causes/alcohol poisening and that the Kalpoe brothers were not involved. And the drugged/raped part is just being made up!

      I said it before and I will say it again: you are all just cherry picking from the information (true or false) that you get.

    68. mommytraveler on April 18th, 2008 8:31 am

      Amsterdam – You just made a very telling statement. “Why shouldn’t people send their children to Aruba for spring break?”

      WHY? If you have to ask Why? You don’t get it.

      Must mean not many spring breakers are in Aruba? Hmmmmmmmmm.

      My grandchildren know all about what happened to Natalee and the nightmare that continues for her family. None would recommend Aruba as their destination for spring break. None want to take the chance that something could happen to them. So, they’ll stick to someplace in the USA where, yes, they could get slipped a date rape drug, where, yes, occasional crime, kidnapping, rape, killing does occur — but at least the crime will be investigated and the family will not be made to apologize or blamed by inept police, judges and bad-mouthed by Arubans who are more intested in the almighty dollar than solving the crime.

    69. Amsterdam 020 on April 18th, 2008 8:31 am

      @66
      No search necessary. Apparently Joran checked himself in at a psychiatric hospital “Altrecht” in Den Dolder, a small town near Utrecht.

    70. Carpe on April 18th, 2008 8:42 am

      The boycott isn’t over crime (imo) It is because

      Aruba does not want the NH case solved, and they

      keep throwing up road blocks at every turn.

      So, by Aruba continuing to align itself

      with the Van der sloots & Kalpoes…

      they remain in the line of fire.

      UNTIL THE AMERICAN TOURIST STALKING VANDERSLOOT KALPOE SEX PREDATORS ARE DEALT WITH… the rest

    71. Richard on April 18th, 2008 8:44 am

      I for one think that much of Joran’s “confession” was a lie … Joran has been lying from day one.

      If you look at photos of him, he seems to have gone way downhill over the last three years as well. That’s a purely subjective impression, of course … but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is losing his marbles to some degree. Not that he had many to begin with.

      On an earlier thread, I posted a story about an international child porn ring called the Blue Orchid Wonderland project. Looks like there’s another one that’s been broken up; article is at the end of this post.

      Why put it here? I keep thinking about Freddy’s penchant for child porn (wasn’t he the stayover guest at Joran’s apartment that night?); the fact that PvdScum took down Joran’s Web site, which was used by the “Pimps,” after his arrest (quite an ethical action for a lawyer and wannabe judge … how do you spell destruction of evidence?); and above all, PvdScum’s trip to Florida some months after Natalee vanished.

      He said that he went there because he had to tell Joran’s school that he wouldn’t be going after all. That reason makes no sense at all to me. A letter, phone call, or e-mail would do the job just as well.

      Maybe I’m trying to fit together pieces of the puzzle that don’t go together. But I keep thinking that there must be SOME reason why the cover-up in Aruba has gone on so long, even after factoring in police incompetence.

      Anyway, here’s the article. Most of the animals in this group were based in Florida.

      http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/stories/ktvbn-apr1708-porn_ring_plea.72a80d94.html

      BOISE — A Boise man pleaded guilty today to being involved in a vast global child porn trafficking ring.
      The U.S. Department of Justice says Warren Weber, 56, was one of 14 alleged members of the enterprise who were charged in a 40-count indictment last month.
      Weber has pleaded guilty to five criminal counts as part of the group. They include engaging in a child exploitation enterprise; conspiracy to advertise, transport, ship, receive and possess child pornography; advertising child pornography; transporting child pornography; and receiving child pornography.
      His case represents one of the first convictions under a new child explotation law passed July 2006.
      Weber admitted to participating in a highly-sophisticated and well-organized crime ring whose purpose was to proliferate child sex abuse images to its members over via the Internet a two-year period.
      Group members used sophisticated encryption methods to avoid detection and traded more than 400,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse before being dismantled by law enforcement.
      The remaining defendants are schedule to go on trial in Florida this June.
      Weber faces a minimum prison sentence of 20 years and a maximum of life imprisonment. He will be sentenced on June 24, 2008.
      The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.

      Since we know that Aruba, and many other places in the Caribbean, are prime targets for money laundering (as well as narcotics trafficking), it would make sense for groups of filth such as this to have connections there. They must know that they wouldn’t be prosecuted or investigated.

      All conjecture … but I don’t think it’s absurd.

      I don’t agree. If Aruba really had a handle on reporting crime and did it honestly and thoroughly, the numbers would be higher per capita than Florida. When women and girls are raped the night before they are scheduled to leave, there is no avenue to report the attack or pursue legal channels. Their first reaction is: Just get me home. Twenty times by one predator on American girls has hit a raw nerve in the high schools and colleges – more so, when they see that predator roaming free and laughing about what he did.

      Your girls and women are not safe in Amsterdam, either – if he is roaming about there or whereever he is.

    91. Libby on April 18th, 2008 1:57 pm

      #67 Amsterdam I may not “know” all what happened to Natalee that night and or who all was involved. However, in my opinion, based on all everything that has been said and ALL of the lies that have been told…not only by Joran, I feel it is extremely obvious Natalee was drugged, raped and murdered and ALL crimes against her have been covered up. No one will ever convince me differently.

      IF she had died from natural causes, Joran, the K brothers and Paulus wouldn’t have made up the elaborate lie about dropping her off at the hotel…before it was announced she was missing. Also, Paulus would not have made the statement, no body no crime. I could go on and on.

      I never said the K brothers were innocent or were not involved. They were involved. There is no doubt in my mind about that.

      I think most of Joran’s so called confession was a lie…with the exception of the seizure comment.

      I still think…and I have said this from the beginning…Joran and the K brothers took a very drunk and drugged Natalee to the main Vandersloot compound. I think they invited other guys over too. These other guys were invited either to participate in the rape or to watch. After all, they have done at least 20 times or more. I think “something bad happened”…such as choking on her own vomit while being raped….or a seizure due to the combination of drugs, alcohol and being raped. I think she was still alive (barely alive) when Natalee’s mom arrived. I think she was alive when Natalee’s mom was at the Vandersloot compound and that is why Paulus was sweating a river. I don’t think they knew how bad off Natalee was. That is why they were looking up alcohol and drug overdose info on the internet that night…and kept telling the dad to go have a drink because she may show up. I think she eventually died and they needed to get rid of her body. I think Paulus did just that…he paid someone to do it…”your own father…unbelievable.” It was at that point, the cover up began and has continued.

      I pray for justice for Natalee, her family and her friends. As I said earlier. They have no idea how lucky that are that I am not Natalee’s mom.

      When, Jasper, when are you going to really disclose something new? Tomorrow, next week, next year????? You are a joke, too.

      Anita vdScum asks “Why did she get in a car with three boys?”

      Considering that one of them was your son, Anita, there may be some point to that question.

      But here’s a better one: Regardless of the reason she got in the car, what did they do to her?

      Or do you think Natalee made herself disappear?

      And why was the first story … from ALL THREE of them (so much, in my view, for Joran’s saying that the Kalpoes weren’t involved) … one big lie?

    100. esther on April 18th, 2008 9:21 pm

      sorry klaasend,but she is really getting on my nerves

    101. esther on April 18th, 2008 9:29 pm

      Misskatie…are you for real? i think you are 1 negative person…sorry..

    102. misskatie on April 18th, 2008 9:51 pm

      esther
      your pitiful and pathetic
      the focus here is natalee not you

    103. katablog on April 18th, 2008 10:33 pm

      #64 And Katablog, just because the case with Natalee has been screwed up by the officials, doesn’t mean that this would happen again in the future.
      _______________________

      That wasn’t a screw up – it was a cover up. Joran’s confessions prove that.

    104. brie. on April 19th, 2008 12:10 am

      So Natalee got in the car…well why…because she had met Joran earlier that day on the beach, she met him in casino and she met him at Carlos & Charlies so Joran wasn’t exactly a stranger, he said he was staying at the same hotel…liar…and she trusted the fact that she would be taken back to the the hotel….that never happened..!!! I can see a young girl going for that, hey he’s a nice guy I’m fine….that’s what he made her believe…..you rotten bastard!!!!!!

    105. brie. on April 19th, 2008 12:19 am

      Esther I don’t know where you came from but go back and do come on here an attack people, especially misskatie….junk it…your a piece of trash!!!!

    106. Ray on April 19th, 2008 12:26 am

      In the Natascha Kampusch case we do not if the officials were worried about a scandal or covering for someone in the pictures.
      If that is all they care they young girls their govt should fall.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL THEY FIND JUSTICE FOR NATALEE.

    107. Mary,UK on April 19th, 2008 4:50 am

      Shame on any American who visits this island, Hope they have a ONE-WAY TICKET!!!!

    108. kaye on April 19th, 2008 5:55 am

      hey ester #23 ….Your village just called, they’re missing their IDIOT!!!!!!

      for your vacation reading materal, take both beth’s and dave’s books, educate yourself while you’re lying on the beach of that cesspool of an island.

    109. Sharon Chicago on April 19th, 2008 6:35 am

      Hey I don’t get it (other than Joran is a liar) but one of the stories was that he and the Kalpoes stopped at his house with Natalie but did not go in.

      The dots don’t connect since he told Natalie he was a tourist age 19 and staying at the same hotel she was.

    110. Richard on April 19th, 2008 7:36 am

      Ray (#106), An accompanying article to the one I posted above said that Austrians are enraged at the cover-up, and the collapse of the government over the treatment of this “one girl” is very possible.

      A stronger contrast to Aruba, where the only reaction is self-pity at the loss of tourism because of Natalee, cannot be imagined.

    111. Vicki on April 19th, 2008 8:06 am

      TO ALL MONKEYS…the email that was sent to Patrick by mistake happened with gmail. Someone forwarded his email to the Natalee group and when that happens their email automatically gets added on…he CANNOT READ any emails,he has been deleted and it was RUDE of him to email everyone…however, hes gone and if he emails you delete him. It was not done on purpose and he is gone for good and I check daily whos on the list and who isnt…THANKS ALL.

    112. Maggie on April 19th, 2008 12:23 pm

      #103 Katablog I agree, I’ve been here since Aug. 05, haven’t seen anything that points in any other direction since.

      Sharon in Chicago..exactly.. students said Joran said he was a 19 year old exchange student/soccer player from Holland.. He later said Natalee asked if he had a big house and wanted to go see it that night, so they went to his house they said. Always figured he said that, in case someone saw the car there that night.

      Noone knows why Natalee went with the 3, she could’ve been drugged, or threatened, friends outside of Carlos n Charlies said Natalee said she was going back to the hotel with other MB friends up ahead.. Why did Joran take her to another bar in the place and serve her 75 proof rum(his drink) on the way out? Maybe she thought it was a taxi. Why would 3 guys go out at closing time to move in on an intoxicated female? Hans Mos said he has chat sessions of how the these guys operated. They were going to pick up American female tourists and what they planned to do with them.

      Who was that sitting by Natalee in the casino? Why would 2 guys clean their car inside and out before dawn, the night Natalee disappeared? What was that long phone call between deepak and Joran that night, the longest ever between them? Why did Joran give 4 or 5 accounts of how he got home that night? Why did Joran say he left his shoes near the water by the Marriot, yet said he didn’t want to go down by the fisherman’s huts to get them, nowhere by the marriot? Why did Joran say noone got out of the car when they picked him up and yet said we got in the car? Who’s we? Who believes you take your date out walking and talking on the beach and having fun and she gets sick and you throw her in a bush and call someone to get rid of her and you haven’t done nothing wrong? Who believes an 18 year old girl wanted to sit on a beach alone and look at stars at 3am in a foreign country? Wouldn’t you know it, the night she met them and the first time ever in her life? What a coincidence! One minute they have her normal knowing what she was doing sex stuf and the next she’s acting crazy and then back to normal..Their whole entire story is a farce. They have done nothing but obstruct and lie. Every piece of evidence brought forth was labeled tainted, tampered with, altered, or discarded, not including no searches for over 10 days of the people last with her, no home search of the VDS’s for 2 + years. The latest saying he was smoking weed and can’t be believed. What kind of alibi is that? In his own book he’s bragging how he beat a drug test in prison, while smoking weed. Not to mention friends investigating friends and relatives. How about Arlene Shippers , spokesperson for Ahata, cousin of Guido, who, who trashed Natalee’s family on tv and lied more than once about them, then came to the usa to brief officials here about the case. Why was she given access to police files when her cousin was a suspect and friend of Joran’s?

      How many cover ups do you let go by, before you alert people to what is going on? 2? 3? 4? 5?

      Enjoy the sun, I would rather enjoy the sun in a place where I didn’t have to think of the awful fate of Natalee and the injustice every minute.

      Her name is Natalee Holloway, she is the victim.

    113. Carpe on April 19th, 2008 2:59 pm

      109-

      He could just lie & say he wanted to
      drop by a friend’s place real quick,
      on the way back to the hotel.

      She probably wouldn’t have thought much
      of it, until they turned the engine off,
      and started to get out of the vehicle.

      If there is one thing that Paulus & Anita’s
      psychotic little sex predator murdering carnivore does well, it is lie. Ok, maybe he doesn’t do it WELL… but he does do it OFTEN. -j4n

    114. Minky from CH on April 19th, 2008 4:18 pm

      After all the cover-up, lies, to many people involved to mess and mix up and confiuse everything and everybody, they should keep Joran in the mental facility for ever, livelong. Thats where he belongs. A Psycho like he is, should not walk free on the streets. Murderer or not. He is a danger to the people. He is unable to come up with one clear story, if it’s the truth or lies, he is a completely mental disturbed creature with a disfunctional brain.

      Anita said “he just wants to go on with his life”. I agree, he should go on with his life in the mental home, until the bitter end.

      Aruba hang Paul$$$$$, he is your guy and on top, he is the creator of this evel brat. The apple does not fall far from the tree!

      BOYCOTT THE DEVELS ISLAND

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE

      NEVER GIVE UP HOPE

      In Aruba there is statstically less crime than big cities around the globe.

      Where did you find that statistic?

      …and I do not consider

      “my a$$” an appropriate reply.

    116. misskatie on April 19th, 2008 6:12 pm

      aww Brie
      thanks your a sweetie
      ester is just yearning for some attention …be it negative or positive
      she doesnt understand that this room is not about her.. she hasnt much class..its about .
      the holloways..

    119. misskatie on April 19th, 2008 6:32 pm

      what these people from and for aruba dont get
      is that its the american dollar that pays their salaries.. if no tourists no money…
      than what ??? anita better get her apron on .get in that kitchen and rattle those pots n pans than . make those beds at the hotel… dompigs son mr pimp wanna be can mop n wax dem floors and of course the kalpoes … put them in the hotel laundry room.. to do laundry… pimp them sheets…lol…..oh lets not forget pauulus… he can wait on tables..oh wait he sweats ewww. or perhaps not … no tourists no need…

    120. Ray on April 19th, 2008 11:41 pm

      IMO every person on the island of aruba that set back and watched j2k pray on American Tourist Girls and DID NOTHING to stop them are just as guilty as the persons that caused Natalee’s disappearance.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL THEY FIND JUSTICE FOR NATALEE.
      THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.

    121. brie. on April 20th, 2008 5:32 am

      An entire island of people that just sat by and did nothing except protest against Beth telling her to go home…..I think a lot of that was brought on by Dompig and what he told the islanders…I remember seeing him on a TV interview and he said Beth came to crush us….she came to find her daughter….brought the FBI for help and you sat in meetings with them but spoke in your native language so they wouldn’t know what was going on…..so much done intentionally to avoid solving the case….and then there was that, “This is the final phase”, a tip from a drug addict and drug dealer, no truth to that…the sand dunes….sending everyone on a wild goose chase…..

    122. jimbo on April 20th, 2008 5:51 am

      ARUBA, aaahhhhhh PARADISE :)

    123. misskatie on April 20th, 2008 9:53 am

      anita said :
      he just wanted to go on with his life?
      what is wrong with this picture let me ask .. how about natalees life.. she had a full life planned. …she had goals…she was young beautiful and very intelligent….
      the sloot family robbed her parents of that.,….
      what life does he want to go on with?
      pimping and raping… smoking weed…is that a life…. where is anitas head… he couldnt even keep it together while at college… his mindset was on smoking weed .pimping with those two fugly kalpoes….. clubbing and raping girls… to think that it was mentioned that he kept a journal of the girls he slept with ….how sick is that…. that one big idiot …his family has no morals… no values… nothing absolutely nothing that warrants respect…. the manner in which they live is evidence of it….he needs to stay in that mental hospital for the rest of his living days…. they just dont get it… they have enabled him …. for yrs … from a young adoloscent to adult they gave him his way… who paid for his gambling and drinking… its not a cheap pass time ya know… and if he got the money from daddy dearest…
      where did daddy get the money to live that life style and afford his son the same priviledge… I dont think a lawyers salary can afford all that and lets not forget the constant trips they take…. at the drop of a hat they up and go.to and fro… yesserie bob I am sure that pauulus and his enabling wife anita have alot of skeletons in their closet….sloots hands are in many kettles… somewhere somehow someone is financing his expenses and affording him such a life style… but those that have supported him will eventualy get tired of it… in light of all the kaos this has brought aruba and of course with no end in sight…. sloots are on their way down and out…
      justice for the holloways..
      BOYCOTTT BOYCOTT
      BECAUSE IT IS DEFINETELY WORKING

      this one is reserved for van straten, pvds, dompig, oduber, janissen, jacobs, joran, anita, 2k (the list is too long) and the rest of the cowardly, yellow bellied scumbags that stood by and did nothing right OR moral in this case concerning natalee.

      any of the people that accepted blood money to keep their mouths shut.. have natalees blood on their hands

    130. esther on April 21st, 2008 9:55 am

      Misskatie,am not ashamed to say am from Aruba.
      Are you proud to be an American? Ofcourse you are,so am I :)

      This beach you refrerring to is the bucuti beach,a small and nice hotel with a huge beach infront! If you could see the high rise hotels and their beaches you will see that they are full…You dont believe me i know that …
      Why do i even bother to reply,well maybe cause am just a good person..

      Have a nice day ..

    131. misskatie on April 21st, 2008 7:52 pm

      esther
      I am very proud to be called an american …

      and I am very proud of our justice system.
      .
      IN NEW YORK HARBOR STANDS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY…
      FREEDOM…JUSTICE
      AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.
      AMERICA AMERICA !!!
      where crime is investigated very thoroughly… we have the finest investigators and judges.lawyers…. our legal system has high standards of ethics and moral obligation to do their best to ensure that justice is served.
      beth was not given her day in court..
      had that crime been comitted in the united states we wouldnt have had to be here discussing the inept and horrible way the case was handled..
      I have never ever seen such cruelty and miscarriage of Justice in my whole world …
      I dont have to tell you that aruba’s judicial system is a joke to the world..
      every person involved in natalees disappearance and death will stand accountable…
      Pauulus and his son and his family will never find a moments peace… life is begining to fall apart for them… and for those judges at the court house… they too will see their downfall because you dont do what they did to beth and her family… and not stand accountable…

      all you come here to try to justify your action.. their actions.. but nothing will ever justify what they did.. tourism is one of the money makers for aruba.. and thats taking a plunge downwards… theres no way you can tell me the beachs are full…
      quit trying to justify the mess they created…
      because if it was so good there … you wouldnt have strikers… with bull horns and lounge chairs… all you need is the popcorn
      dont forget the drinks popcorn tends to make one thirsty…

      get used to me ester because I AINT ..going away any time soon.. not until we see JUSTICE SERVED.

      we will continue to boycott the travel shows
      because in america we have the freedom of speech… things aint gonna get any better in aruba
      hell women best start carrying their money in their bra…
      let some one try to grab my money… they’d have to cut my boobs off!!!
