Editorial: Natalee and the bla bla bla professors
by Jossy Mansur
DIARIO Aruba
11/21/2005
I didn’t know that in Aruba there were so many
professionals who are specialized in bla bla bla,
that is to say, those who express their baseless
opinions, but what is revealed is their ignorance.
There are some media in Aruba who are somewhat
politically inclined which have lost notion of reality
and which hide the word ‘truth’ behind their
forgetfulness.They can very well continue to wait
for a reply from me that will never come, because I
am not going to waste time tending to some fanatic
blindingly tied to their negative habits of twisting
everything and interpreting in their own way what
they can’t express or write.Their sick focus on the
case of Natalee has become a pathetic aspect,
not because it is difficult to solve, but because of the
errors committed and the sentences dictated are
obvious to everyone around the world who is aware
of them. It has nothing to do with whether Natalee
is alive or not, but with the judge who came from
Curaçao who preferred to ignore all the good work
that the Aruban police did and the solid presentation
of the prosecutor.
Are the three suspects guilty or innocent? This will
come out because you cannot hide this truth for
very long, but sooner or later, it will come to light.
On my part, they are innocent if Natalee turns out to
be alive! Some media, addicted to the government
of the day converted the case of Natalee into a
political circus. We, on the other hand, maintained
a posture of looking at the case for what it is,
and indicated the factors which came out of the many
admissions of the three principal suspects: Joran,
Deepak and Satish. No one has accused them of
murder, but they themselves admitted to police during
interrogations that something bad happened to Natalee
while she was with them, without specifying what
‘something bad’ was!
That they admitted to committing sexual abuse
against her, it is in the admissions they made to the
police, also confirmed by the latest videotape by
Jamie Skeeters with Deepak,
who made important revelations which incriminated
all three.
I do not share the opinion that our police agents acted
indifferently, or that they intentionally covered up certain
details, but I do agree that there were strange things
which happened at the beginning of the case that have
to be deeply investigated to determine how one or
another agent could have diverted, covered or
twisted some details which ended up complicating
the case more than necessary.
My confidence in our agents continues as
firm as ever. It is not extensive that the judge who
presided over the case and decided that some
things were inadmissible. He could be the best judge
in the world, but in this case, he made light of and
greatly neglected to pay attention to the three
suspects’ admissions, since he didn’t even
interrogate them about what was left hanging in
the air, such as the declaration of Joran
at the beach that he believes that Deepak raped
and killed Natalee! How did this matter end there?
How were the other accusations and
counter-accusations among the three suspects
not evaluated for their just content?
To say that they are chronic liars is not sufficient;
it has to be determined where and how they lied to be
able to arrive at the truth.
That Joran is in Holland thanks to the judge?
I don’t have a problem with this; where I have a
problem is with the official explanation sent to
DIARIO from the Justice department specifying
that the judge decided to se him free because he
expressed his wish to continue with his studies.
What will happen if another person in KIA also
decides that they want to continue with their
studies?
And about the matter of the boycott against Aruba.
I have explained on various occasions and on
American national media that I am not in
agreement with any sort of boycott against our
island for any reason.I have explained
to those with a sufficiently open mind to be able to
understand, that Aruba has nothing to do with the
case, that it is simply the place where it happened,
nothing else!
Justice is being handled by the Dutch, not by
Arubans!The boycott will be avoided by avoiding
crazy statements, imprudent and mismanaged
protests and by trying to engage in a dialogue
instead of confrontations.
We are known around the world as people who
are sensible, hospitable and thankful to those
who invest in our island and want nothing but
good. Additionally, I am certain that in Aruba we
have enough sensible people to intervene and
solve the matter in a way that is acceptable for
all involved. If we permit that the intention of the
boycott continue to grow, then it can become
very serious and we all end up losing.
I will let the bla bla bla speakers continue
with their subject matter. They exert no influence
on me, no matter how many unfounded and
unjust attacks are launched against my way of
looking at the case, but there is one thing that
I will not accept, and that is to tolerate any indirect
comment that I could be against the interests of
our island. I have fought a lot and against
great forces to defend Aruba; I have confronted
countries and contrary interests in our fight for
Status Aparte;
I have run all sorts of personal risks during the
time I fought against the communist current
that arrived to Aruba from Grenada and Cuba,
propagated by some cell that is still active on our
island. And I continue to be vigilant, now against
the current intention to introduce in Aruba a
totalitarian way of thinking and acting, in the creation
of a sort of government whose negative alliances
with neighboring countries, because it will destroy
the peace and tranquility which reign on our island.
That I have an enormous respect for Holland?
That is categorical!
It is not for nothing that I am fighting for us to preserve
our Dutch nationality, for us to become part of Europe
on our terms, and for us to continue simply rectifying
what is wrong in the justice system, which itself is good.
There are some that interpret the system who are
deserving of my criticism; not the system itself, which
I have categorized on American television as one of
the best in the world.
I maintain my opinion, despite that the judge who came
from Curaçao to complicate the case and threw
it to the wolves. It is through the action of the Dutch
judge that the serious problems started for Aruba and
it is driving the American national sentiment in a
negative direction toward our island.
Look at the problem for what it is, not for what you
want to turn it into! It is the sentence of the judge
who came from Curaçao which gave rise to the
impression that the Dutch justice system is full
of holes and open to partial interpretations!
And they want to attribute this to Aruba, instead
of placing the blame where it should be: in Holland!
