Aruba: Nobody Left to Blame

Joran van der sloots undercover tape was not new, it was more of the same.
Aruba told Beth to "shut up" so many times, by so many people, in so many ways and...
...they were not giving her Natalee to bring home and bury.

The rage isn't going away.

Joran's tape was only a small taste of the savagery that lives in people attached to the dying brand known as Aruba and what is the defining moment of their lives.
So desperate and insecure that they would do or say anything to win a fight they can't possibly have had time to think about. Not even concealing the "I'm being paid to talk to you" button in defense of the van der sloots, irrationally defending themselves.

I thought I've seen parents "into" their kids, but Paulus van der sloot's co-dependence on Joran is frightening.

These misogynistic savages continue their assault on Natalee and Beth.

Rage? The Joran tape is a snippet of a campaign of hate and anger being thrown at Natalee and her family by the authorities, the public relations consultants, the parents of the murderer of Natalee Holloway, and lawyers in 3 countries.
As go the van der sloots, so goes Aruba. Their thoughts and actions perfectly in sync. Joran isn't lying as much as confused as to which story his father wants him to tell. Aruba has long ago detached from an actual Natalee Holloway. There is no evidence of her, at all.
Aruba's own moral outrage, a rage fueled ugliness you can't believe, seemed to have little in the way of sympathy for Natalee and her family.

They had to defend Aruba's honor. Not spiritual enough to realize that defending Natalee's honor was the proper guide and a defense of basic human decency. They threw in with the van der sloots.

Joran's callousness on tape brought them shame and anger. Why? Because they didn't want worldwide opinion to think of them that way?

Joran, in some ways, spoke the truth for Arubans, and they blame him, for speaking the truth, the ugliness, the insensitivity. But he has been very representative of Aruban Authorities. Did you catch the video of the empty police station when Beth showed up last year? The hot coffee on the desks and the TV still on?
Paulus van der sloot has many interesting quotes. When he met Natalee's father, the father who's daughter his son murdered, and the father of the daughter he himself "disposed of...",
when he met the father who's daughter he decided would not be brought home to be buried, when given a chance, he told Dave Holloway he would "do anything to protect his son."
The "do anything" part is understandable, but the concept of "protection" is as vague as Aruba Law. His son is now in hiding thousands of miles away.

Who is protecting whom Paulus?

Both Paulus and Joran were in sync when on separate occasions they confirmed they had more to tell but didn't want to "hurt innocent people."

Natalee's family not included.

Have they deluded themselves to such a deep extent that they believe they are actually "protecting innocent people?"
Cowering, paralyzed with fear. Joran's own sick description of Natalee's death is a description of the van der sloots, only they are convulsing more slowly. And dragging many others with them. They're not protecting anyone, especially themselves. A sadistic and masochistic family. Why should it take this much rage to help the Holloways?

The flipside to the fact that a lot of people know what happened to Natalee is there must be some crucial piece of evidence that exists, unavoidable evidence, which is preventing this from being legally declared "accident."

This theory, as politicians do, was floated many times, but it won't float. Why? The prosecution can't make an accident theory float because they don't want to share how they know Natalee is dead by the same legal standards they use to protect Joran and selectively believed lies, they cannot reveal with that same standard how and why they know Natalee is dead.

But they know.

Surely it can't be because Joran told them? Or could it? So what else could it be? Paulus told them?
Did the Chief of Police Jan van der straaten see Natalee's dead body? On what evidence did they release a press statement that one of the suspects confessed? They used the word "confessed."

They obviously didn't think it was a lie, they called it a "confession." Was that confession/story different? Another story like the one that got the security guards arrested?
You can almost see the dirty police showing Paulus evidence, then waiting for the story. The whole structure built as one Aruba defense team. And the tortured word mincing the court uses to agree.

"Look in other directions" said Anita van der sloot. And so they did.

"I'll kick her butt, for all the trouble she's cost us." Joran van der sloot.

It's Natalee's fault, and they are indignant. Not one person on Aruba has called them out, nobody. Joran's tape made them angry, because they saw a reflection. They finally saw what we all see, and they hated themselves, who wouldn't?

This myth that people are afraid to talk, to tell the truth. Should we feel sorry for anyone who lives in fear of the truth? Those who weren't scared, were paid to take their shot at Natalee

The van der sloots and Aruba, still in sync. Running and hiding.

The parents were in it for the money, the beach flasher, the insurance scam, Natalee was pregnant by her stepfather and/or the hacked up drug dealer, she ran away from her Hitler like mother, and the mysterious, just happened to be walking by stranger, yet to be identified, who came upon a sex starved girl and just said, "gee, I think I'll kill her"and after she was dead, she swam away and disappeared herself, the mountainbrook students, the security guards and on and on...

And these words were from officials, adults, not Joran, Aruban Officials.

The so called "judges" believed the hotel lie, they believed the marijuana lie, and they believed his beach story, the one where she was alive and well, sleeping. This is about the Dutch, and about Holland, they have been given yet another glimpse of their own by-products.

The rage is appropriate.

Jan van der straaten: "Corrupt to the Core"

True words spoken by Beth Holloway. In the battle for Natalee's body.



Jan van der stratten as Chief of Police battled to control Natalee's remains. Possibly for as long as 10 days. He lost.

No body, no crime applied to the security guards too. But they had a body, Natalee's body.

Paulus got nervous with the plan and wouldn't go along with the Chief of Police, his friend Jan van der straaten. The epilepsy routine wouldn't work, even with the internet research Paulus had done on his computer while Natalee was ON HIS PROPERTY.

So Paulus got rid of Natalee, completely. He called the Police fools, as did the security guards.

When Van der straaten thought he had a body, he was charging the innocent guards with homicide. When they couldn't put the whole thing together (Beth just wouldn't "shut up") because in their world, Paulus's screwed up Jan's cover-up. Paulus knew the Law, "no body, no crime."

Paulus "slipped her in the water." Abstract words from Paulus's wooden puppet Joran.

Then came a confirmation of Natalee's death, it was broadcast worldwide.

But wait, it was claimed to have been mis-information. Especially the part about "leading police to the body."

That's when Natalee was gone.

From "murdered" to "disappeared."

I guess they were smoking marijuana? Or was Janssen high when she arrested Paulus?

He just wouldn't listen.

Premeditated Paulus.

June 11th the stalemate began...
"Something bad happened ... "

Possible Break in the Case

"One of three young men who took Alabama student Natalee Holloway to the beach in Aruba tells police the 18-year-old American had been harmed. An Aruban police official said the man was leading police to the scene."VAN DER STRAATEN

Aruba officials are now denying that the "something bad happened" statement was made (at least in that form) and that no one has offered to lead law-enforcement to the scene. VAN DER SLOOT

Not according to Mr.Trapenberg, spokesperson for Aruba. He just just shared some information on FOX denying the confession but not vehemently denying that "something bad happened". He was tacitly implying that a confession could have been made but that the manner in which the information was deceminated-to the media-might have been a breach of protocol. VAN DER SLOOT VAN DER STRAATEN

In a recent press conference the authorities said that they are aware of some rumors that is going on since yesterday night, but they are not confirming them neither denying them and they are at the point that this case will be resolved soon. And that all the five suspects are detained think we will have soon news in the next hours. VAN DER STRAATEN

"NO IT HASN'T" VAN DER SLOOT

Remembering Jossy Mansur

"The world is watching."

How often is that literally true?

Jossy Mansur, editor of Diario is one of the most fascinating characters in this story. He may even be iconic if this was an HBO production.

Mr. Mansur has maintained a chivalrous attitude and stance with Natalee and with Beth. He has written passionately in their defense from the beginning.



Since I started my blog, I've met 2 people who know Jossy, have been to his house, that in itself is amazing. But, clearly a man who's found a niche. The rumors of "dirty dealings" are more like sunburn in Aruba.

His outrage at the treatment of Natalee and Beth is something that I find very pure. For whatever reason, his being offended by that is a step toward trust.

His patience, eloquence in the name of Natalee have been a blessing...

and yet,

He didn't sway opinion in Aruba, Joran van der sloot did, and it took a reporter from Holland to serve that up.

Why are authorities in Aruba more afraid of the foreign media than one's in their own neighborhood?

Only until recently did Aruba empathize with Natalee's mother?

How sick is that? Nobody believed Jossy or was he too timid?

Or is his moral outrage just not that motivating to the average citizen?

Jossy Mansur is uniquely positioned to expose the truth. Will he do it? We read rumors of his health, his past, his physical danger etc. Nevertheless, it's his defining moment, obviously.

Paulus van der sloot, Jan van der straaten, Karin Janssen, Dennis Jacobs. The adults in this story. Let's read about them? The Chief of Police, The Chief Prosecutor, The Lead Dectective, and this case isn't solved? Really Jossy, you're feigned innocent shoulder shrug that looks cute on TV is getting tiring.

Do you find the world watching safer or more dangerous?

Why are you waiting for an Aruban Legal System nobody understands to define what happened to Natalee Holloway and the investigation?

While I understand your house is nice, an appearance of wealth and success. It's all nothing if you don't grasp this moment. You are here for this, can you see it?

My respect for you is matched by my expectation, my hope and envy that you would take a stand right here and right now. Your past and present just antidotes compared to right now.

I love when you took down the van der sloot's U.S. attorney on at least two occasions. I was with you, but in the big picture it still took Joran's words to bring this case more in focus.

Still, the end is with the adults.

Tell us how it's possible this case is still supposedly unsolved?

Start with Paulus van der sloot and name names. Or was the OM referring to Diario when it asked the Media to shut up? The road to your greatness comes at a price, right?

Be remembered as a guy who went all in, because it was right. The Holloways have lost Natalee, what do you have to lose?

It's all there for you.

Aruba's Killing Machine

Aruba is still telling Beth lies. The repeat of the seizure story only proves the corroboration between the Aruba Dirty Police and Karin Janssen and Premeditated Paulus Van der sloot.

But it doesn't tell the truth about what happened. "Daury" isn't a boat owner, he's a premeditated murderer. He's Paulus van der sloot. He is the creator of Joran's tortured stories.

Who confessed to whom?

It's entirely plausible that the story comes from the legal mind of Premeditated Paulus van der sloot and it became Aruba's talking points. Joran speaks for his father. Joe Tacopina speaks for Aruba.

There is overwhelming evidence of a frame on the security guards was taking place.

After Jansen was caught in a discrepancy, she said it was "a tactical maneuver."

The arrest of the guards was a tactical maneuver to do what?

"This is turning into a game, an illogical investigation," said Noraina Pietersz, the attorney representing Antonius "Mickey" John, 30. John and Abraham Jones, 28, had been detained a week as of Sunday, and have denied any connection to Holloway.



"The prosecution is pretending it has information that we don't have."

Attorney General Caren Janssen said Sunday that wasn't the case but declined to give details.

"We are still in the middle of an investigation," she said.

Two Aruba men held on 'reasonable suspicion'
Attorney says he expects clients to be accused of homicide
Tuesday, June 7, 2005 Posted: 7:27 PM EDT (2327 GMT)

Prosecutors decided to detain the suspects for another eight days. They are to appear in court Wednesday. Acting on a tip, police arrested the pair Sunday morning in the oil-refining town of San Nicolas.

Van der Biezen would not elaborate about evidence gathered in the investigation, but she did say that authorities would not have prolonged the detention if they only had circumstantial evidence.

Defense lawyer Chris Lejuez said he expects his clients to be formally accused of homicide, being accomplices to homicide, and of kidnapping leading to homicide.

He said his clients are innocent. The guards -- ages 28 and 30 -- worked at Hotel Allegro in Oranjestad near the Holiday Inn where Holloway was staying.

Lejuez said the men were not working the night Holloway disappeared

Now this from the Prosecutor yesterday:

The Public Prosecutor’s Office doesn’t fail to notice that the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway draws a lot of interest from media and general public. However, this interest seems to be turning into a witch-hunt in which several persons are being harassed.

Like who, you? Karin Janssen? Who is being harassed? Premeditated Paulus? You make this statement after interviewing Joran van der sloot?

You flew all the way to Holland to listen to that?

The corruption continues...

Superior Court
January, 2007

The possible involvement of Paulus with that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a taped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The taped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Joran Van der Sloot
Suspect Statement
June 14, 2005

At approximately 12.30 (May 31, 2005) my dad and me had arrived at Bubali police station. I was interviewed as a witness. I cannot remember that in my statement I had said that I had been at Fisherman's Huts with Natalee. I might be possible that I stated that.


Deepak Kalpoe

On your question if Joran and the girl had stepped from my car at the Fisherman’s Huts and walked by the sea; I will answer you no.

On your question if Joran and the girl had gotten out of the car at the Fisherman’s Huts and walked by the sea; I answer you no. Joran and the girl never got out of Deepak’s car.

Aruba: Security Guards Re-Arrested

Why not, they've done it before. And done it after a Joran confession. Remember?

3 years and we finally have corroborating evidence the Aruba Police knew Natalee was dead the second night questioning Beth and Jug about seizures.

And what did Aruba do?

They arrested the innocent black security guards and held them for 10 days.

Explain that Aruba!

Van der straaten, Jannsen and Jacobs. Aruba Dirty Police

Bloodbath at the Van der sloots

The silence in Aruba now by it's "leadership" is very deafening.

The Quiet Shame.

Do they admit, what went on here in total, or continue to coverup, corrupt and deny justice for Natalee Holloway?

What better time to admit you were duped by the van der sloots?

Nobody will care if the Prime Minister has dirty dealings with the drug trade, nobody will care if you were looking after Aruba's interests financially, we get it.

But the savagery that happened at the Van der sloot home must be revealed.

When Dutch investigators finally took a fresh look at the case almost 2 years late, the first place they came and took samples was the van der sloot house.

They were looking for blood, Natalee's blood.

Did she bleed in the Kalpoe's car before or after she arrived at the van der sloots?

The Dutch have been telling us what happened. You don't have charges like premeditated murder, rape and heavy battery for "nothing to do with her disappearance."

Natalee's body being moved multiple times? Virtually every official in Aruba has contributed to a painting of what happened here. But they cannot unleash the truth about what happened at the van der sloots.

It scares them that they were that close to evil.

Because there have been no convictions in Aruba courts doesn't mean their words are false, if anything it reveals more of the truth.

Joran walking free now is not amazing if you consider the former prosecutor Karin Janssen wrote the U.S. Justice Department inquiring if Beth Holloway was related to Hitler.

That tells you what we're up against here.

It's a political decision now. Aruba is acting much more like Joran than a country that cares about justice or about Natalee, she's a problem.

It's long way from the original spokesperson, Ruben Trapenburg to whom now speaks for Aruba: Joe Tacopina. It says alot that a famous defense lawyer for criminals is the spokesperson. How many have come and go?

Even still, we have common ground.

I can understand covering up, in the moment, and can forgive it. But not until the murder of Natalee Holloway at the van der sloot house is exposed.

You can't wash Natalee's blood off your hands. See, look.

The next phase for Aruba is worse. Explaining how when 2 innocent black security guards were arrested it was "murder. " The Chief of Police and the Prosecutor said so.

Yet they were also asking Beth if Natalee had a history of seizures. Why would they ask that?

10 days in jail, time to clean up and write the beach story.

But when the guards were released and Joran and the Kalpoe's arrested.

It became a "disappearance."


Why not stop the pretense that there is an investigation, there isn't. Stop the pretense of some legal justice in this case, their won't be.

If Aruba doesn't see any benefit in holding the van der sloot's accountable now, they never will.

The way Joran treated Natalee is exactly the way Aruba treated Beth.

Joran Did Call the Police in Aruba

So the world knows what we have for 3 years, the savage Aruba, then the world is halfway to understanding the rest of the truth.

She was killed at the van der sloot home. The pool was the beach, she was raped at the van der sloot house.

They had ten days and 2 innocent guards in jail to make up the beach story.

It's Paulus and his house. It's the Aruba Dirty Police who first used the word seizure from the day Beth arrived. Why?

Aruba disposed of Natalee. The name on Joran's tape is just a label for the police who covered the tracks, one step ahead as Paulus and Jan van der straaten schemed.

To them it is 911. And Aruba concurred, it was in their interest too.

"You're own father, unbelievable."

The Child Abuse of Joran van der sloot

Greta and Joe Tacopina had the Patriots giving the points.

"He's a kid, a scared kid." From Joe Tacopina, the supposed lawyer without standing to practice law in Aruba and no pending court cases in the U.S. for the van der sloots. And he ain't growing up being represented by Joe Tacopina and his own father Paulus van der sloot.

If so, and Paulus van der sloot would "do anything to protect my son."

Where is he now?

To say Joran is being protected is ludicrous considering he will overnight become the very picture of a savage, a misogynistic rapist and murderer.

And where is his father?

The adults in this crime are using Joran van der sloot to keep it together. He has been confessing for years, but the adults are watching a public execution of Joran van der sloot is underway, a self induced death penalty, and the father is cowering in the corner?

Nice Paulus, real nice. "he just a kid" and what do you do to protect him? Send him to your Mom in Holland and run from himself, you, Natalee?

Your son is in O.J. Land and you're in hiding?

The shame alone of listening to his vile savagery makes you do what? It's you he's protecting, you're at the end of your life, yet you would sacrifice this rapist "kid" as long as you can live out your golden years?

This whole story arc makes it clear that the idea of Prosecution in Aruba doesn't exist. From the beginning, it was defense mode.

How can all the players in this story be so silent except for Joran? They took the advice a lawyer gives to the guilty, just shut up.

Cowardly. Ironic too, that it reminds me of Ben Franklin. "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

I see a couple of nooses with your names on it Greta and Joe and Paulus and Nelson and Rudy and Koen and Jan and Karin and Gerold and Dennis and Ben and Steve and on and on and on...

The unwitting van der sloot enablers, legion of adults who can't let go, contribute to this farce of a "mystery."

We're pushing Joran towards Aruba while you're trying to push him away. We're pushing him and going to drop him on your doorstep.

From Joran: He said he panicked and tried but failed to revive her. He said that "Holloway looked dead but that he could not be sure she was not still alive when the friend took her away."

Paulus van der sloot was arrested before for premeditated murder. But at least your son considers you "a friend."

The cover-up just got un-covered-up, worldwide in primetime.

Prime Minister Oduber: Say cheeeeeeeese!

Aruba Bowl: The Real Patriots and Giants

Suddenly, the savages that killed Natalee and covered up the crime, don't look so evil. They look weak, Peter De Vries leading an army to steamroll Aruba:

Beth Holloway
Tamikosmom
Michelle (who was there from the beginning)
...and all the brave women who will not be denied.

The comfort of having you on our team while we witness and hear the depths of misogyny spewing from Joran van der sloots mouth today. It will be violent and brutal.

...and you want violence? Let me introduce Granny Toad.

These are true Giants.

My soul is today with the patriots at Scared Monkeys, Red and everyone.

Staring down Aruba. It's not the end, tonight we kickoff against the whole of Aruba.

Aruba: "Look what they've done to Natalee..."

Harrowing words from Beth Holloway after listening and watching Joran van der sloot, again, explaining why any shred of remains of her daughter have been obliterated.

We've come a long way from the 2 security guards being in jail to debating whether Joran actually murdered her before disposing of her body. And he's had defenders, paid by Aruba, the whole way.

Premeditated Paulus is the name that scared Joran. His involvement is why this case is still not resolved, he is still being protected, sort of. "Your own father, unbelieveable."

They just won't let Joran confess, no matter how hard he tries, why? Premeditated Paulus.

This is a quote from Joe Tacopina, who does it sound like he's defending here?

"The evidence refutes what Joran supposedly said," said Tacopina, who said he heard of the interview through media reports. "It doesn't change the truth of this case. And the truth is, Joran had nothing to do with Natalee's death."

He sounds like an Aruban Official, someone defending Aruba, basically saying Joran didn't read the memo, forgot the talking points. Joe Tacopina is chiding Joran for not knowing what the "truth" is. Amazing.

This is not new. Her (and our) journey down this dark road of pain have gone on for almost 3 years. Mr. De Vries is bringing what we have known to the public at large, unvarnished from the Aruba blame tinted propaganda. Unvarnished, but not the whole gruesome truth, just a taste for the public to question the amazement that nobody is in jail for this crime.

That would be Aruba, it's officials, the dirty police and the Tourism Authority. There is no doubt anymore that Joe Tacopina is retained by Aruba and not just Paulus van der sloot. Their paths have always been parallel. Blame Natalee and keep the attention away from the ruling party.

"Mistakes were made" crowed Prime Minister Nelson Oduber. As we are supposed to say, gosh, we all make them. "He's just a scared kid" said Joe Tacopina.

The van der sloots and the authorities in Aruba are joined at the hip. The accident theory will not pass the worldwide scrutiny. It has no proof. The absurdity of equating Natalee's behaviour as that of the van der sloots.

Because if the "no body, no crime" defense was promoted, the "no body, no overdose" reality will be glaring.

Got something 'pithy' to now say Bill O'Reilly? Take that 'pinhead' Greta and check out Peter de Vries's show. Like aging rock stars who become the very people they rebelled against, look in the mirror and you'll see a talking head. Spinning out of his asshole...

Your research, O'Reilly, makes you a smear merchant, the very thing you project on others. The internet exposes you too, you look old and defensive.

Simple questions like "why did you, Mr. van der straaten offer a mental institution stay to Joran van der sloot?(check Joran's book) Why did you claim "murder" when the guards were in custody, then "disappearance" when the van der sloots were arrested?

The average viewer is getting a taste of how the simplest of questions cannot be answered by the scared 'authorities' in Aruba. The whole island appears to be a teenage boy's room. Just before the mass murder.

How do you prosecute a case without a police force, a prosecutor, or an honest judge?

You don't.

This is not a complicated case. The lies have been ammunition to claim it's complicated. We just 'don't understand their system.'

But this is where Aruba underestimated their own savagery. Island fever becomes acute myopia. We don't care about your system, we understand exactly what went on here.

I agree that society's apathy enables the criminal mind. But there is a limit. That is what drives the interest in this case. it's not just a courageous mother fighting a painful battle I don't ever want to be a part of again. It's about the over the top savagery on every level.

It just hit a nerve, and it's a powerful one, and a simple one. As Deepak Kalpoe said back in the day:

"Enough of this B.S. already"
