Topic : 01/19 Follow-ups

Did anyone see the interview with the VanDer Sloots on Good Morning America this morning and yesterday morning?  What was the purpose of this interview?  Seems to me that GMA were giving the Van Der Sloots a place to stage their campaign against Beth Holloway Twitty.  It was the lamest interview i have ever seen.  It was truly disgusting!  Saying she is harrassing their son!  Give ME a BREAK!!!  He has the answers and she deserves the answers!  She and her daughter Are the VICTIMS here Not Him!!   

  

Beth if you ever read these boards, i just want you to know i stand behind you and i am praying for you!

Received the following letter from Vice President Cheney in response to the letters I sent to President Bush, the Vice President, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of state about Natalee Holloway.  Have requested that Aruba be put on the State Department's List of Unsafe Places.  Original letter to the VP available upon request.
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
Washington
February 2, 2006

Dear Mr XXXXXX

On behalf of Vice President Cheney, thank you for your correspondence expressing your thoughts on the Natalee Holloway case.  Please know that your comments have been carefully noted.

The Vice President appreciates knowing your views.  Thank you for taking the time to write.

Sincerely,
Cecilia Boyer
Special Assistant to the Vice President

I too feel that it was in very poor taste.  I mean, I understand that it is their son, but they helped him cover it up from the beginning.  I cannot help but wonder how much different this would have turned out had these parents not been so wealthy.  Someone truly needs to ask GMA what they were thinking?  Since when are they on the side of PR for Aruba much less, the parents whom have done everything they can to prevent him from being questioned by the police?  It sickens me to know that Beth could have been watching that...  I only hope that they come to the realization that at least they can talk with and have comfort in the fact that they can speak to their child, while knowing that he had a vital part of Beth not having that same right with her daughter.  

Dear readers,

First of all I want to say that I think its awful what happened to Natalee, and I'm not writing this to defend Joran. But I got to say, being a Dutch woman I don't like the way people think and talk about Holland, and especially dutch laws. You people don't know anything about Holland, most of you probably don't even know where Holland is. I saw the show today (here the show comes a few months later than it does in America) but what struck me in the show was that Mrs. Holloways lawyer said "we must throw those boys in jail, throw away the key and let them rot there until we have enough evidence to convict them". I totally disagree because last time I checked people were innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around. Offcourse Mrs Holloway wants some closure, I totally understand, if it were my daughter I would too, but you CAN'T throw a few boys in jail if you don't know for sure if they did it. But what I also understand is that  Jorans parents don't want to see their son in jail, especially if people aren't sure wether he had something to do with it or not. How would you, as Americans, feel if we, the dutch, would throw an American in jail because we thought he or she did something wrong without us having enough evidence.  You would be angry, say: "oh you stupid dutch people, he/she's an american and we know what to do with them" and you would do anything in your power to have us let him or her go free unless we would have some real evidence. I hope you all understand where I'm coming from. And, yes, that woman needs closure and REST, so please do everything you need to solve this but stop with the media-circus around the whole thing.

I think that because the show was so long ago, no one will read this, but I hope someone does.

Best regards.

I think kleinemeid is a big girl in the way she thinks. I also think someone is innocent until proven guilty. I even thought this was an american saying...aparently not. There is still so much to learn from the people in the old country!


Something else: How can you punish an entire island, when only one teenager supposedly killed a drunk american girl who didn't listen to her friends request to come with them. Aruba is a poor island with many innocent people depending on the tourism sector and you want them to suffer for something they didn't take part of. I was unpleasantly suprised that Dr. Phil himself seemed to be so very short-sighted.


Aruba has very little to do with The Netherlands since its so called "Status Aparte" in 1986, where it became a sepparate country within the kingdom. They do use the dutch law wich maybe somewhat easy on convicted criminals in term of sentencing, but it is much more fair then the american justice system, because only judges can pass verdict instead of a citizen who has jury duty...

Shame on you Dr. Phil and the rest of the narrowminded americans!!!

To the writer that asked what is wrong with the American people I tell them the following:

(1) We are American and we have been socialized (directly/indirectly to believe that we are "superior" to all other nations.

(2) When an "American" is on vacation or otherwise visiting a foreign state it is expected that the foreign state take "extra" precautions to protect its' American visitor from harm; and

(3) If the American visiting the foreign state does not belong to one of the American elite groups (determined by race, class or both) then the foreign stat may not be expected to use extraordinary precautions or responses, and no sanctions may be imposed.

 

In Short, the disapperance of Natalie Holloway is no doubt a misfortune.  However, in a world where MONEY, POLITICS, RELIGION and Race are often the sole basis in which many decisions are made it is not surprising that the tradegy of Natalie has gained world attention.  Moreover, it is not surprising that the US would impose sanctions to harm an entire country for one missing person, yet fail to enforce its own laws designed to ensure equal protection and due process to all American citizens. 

I think the boys that helped kidnapped Natalee Holloway kidnapped her for someone else.
I think that the raper and keeper of Natalee Holloway has his other friends with him now, or at Christmas time.
I thought Natalee Holloway was lately at a place, or island, that someone called something like, a little animal or insect, or a slang word for whereever that is. I forgot what the place was called, he had a little simple symbol for it.

I am posting this link http://judicial-inc.biz/1.1reuse.htm  in hopes that Dr. Phil will see, examine it, and get it to Beth Holloway-Twitty.  Ignore the main page but do scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Natalee Holloway".

 

I've not forgotten Natalee and pray justice will be served for her.  Hopefully, this link is not someone's wild imagination and will give authorities more evidence that will solve this case once and for all. 

 

The Bible says, "Everything that is hidden will be revealed."  I believe that with all my heart. 

 

God bless Beth and her family.  Pray the answers will come soon and that justice follows quickly.

I watched the Show yesterday and my prayers are with the Holloway family and I hope they find the body of Natalie Holloway so that we can get some answers from the people who were responsible for her disappearence. But is there any other evidence besides that the boys were released and that the boy's father was proctecting himself, that the Aruban Government covered up the case? Also to the poster who said that the US does not protect the criminals this is a lie since the judicial system in the US is corrupt. In fact the judical systems in the rest of the world are also corrupt. I also think that boycotting Aruba is stupid because this will not do anything to help find Natalie Holloway. But I do find it suprising that the suspects were arrested, then released and then arrested again then released. This how the judical systems in the rest of the world work. The laws are not enforced enough even in the US. This has got to change. All the governments of the world need to change their attitudes and start working hard to make these laws stricter.
