Merchants in Aruba are upset
Arubans considering taking Dr. Phil to court in the U.S.
Want to sue for damaging our island’s name
DIARIO Aruba11/18/2005
ORANJESTAD(AAN):
Thursday, on the Dr. Phil show, presented around the U.S.
via syndication distributed by King World, the theme was
“Sex Slaves”.In the beginning, as well as at the end of the
show, Dr. Phil repeated his message for everyone to stop
traveling to Aruba.Although the probability is great that the
Alabama student is no longer of this world, a small
percentage exists that they wanted to check out the
probability that she is still alive.
DIARIO also had taken this into account from the beginning
and on the basis of various ‘leads’ we have received,
checked all corners for this story. In the background,
DIARIO continues to investigate and check all details
received. Only some of this investigation is made public,
but no all. It is true that a DIARIO reporter kept quiet that
he went to check one of the tips that Natalee is alive,
but because he did not find confirmation (‘hard facts’)
of this probability, he opted to not go public with it.
However on Thursday, Natalee’s mother decided to
divulge this to a big audience. Nevertheless, reporters
continue to work on every detail and tip that is received.
NOW ABOUT CURACAO
The case of Amy Bradley also found a big spotlight on the
Dr. Phil show, because it focused on young women that
are abducted on other countries to be used as ‘sex slaves’.
Amy disappeared from a cruise ship when it first entered
the port of Willemstad. Many believe that she fell of the
ship and drowned in the Caribbean sea. However, from
that time, her family thinks that she disembarked in
Curacao without being noticed and that she is being
held as a slave.
Dr. Phil even let a crew go to Curaçao and film the
“Mirage” (formerly Campo Alegre) spy-video style,
How did they do this, seeing that Mirage has their
doors wide open to get coverage for their business?
But Dr. Phil’s show portrayed it as if it were a very hidden
and ‘secret’ place, even though it is a place that even has
a website to promote itself.MERCHANTS’ LAWSUIT
Some merchants are quite upset with the latest
developments surrounding the case of Natalee Holloway,
and expressed on Thursday that they are preparing a
case against the complete production of Dr. Phil in the
U.S. This deals especially with the merchants whose
business interests is that they do a lot of business with
the U.S. The latest statements from this TV host is inflicting
and continues to inflict damage to our island. Thursday
they were in contact with at least one very popular law firm
in the U.S. in order to evaluate a possible lawsuit against
Dr. Phil. It seems that the lawyers in the U.S. are convening
to give the merchants from Aruba an answer about their
questions if there is space for said lawsuit. The lawsuit will
be based on the fact that the name of Aruba is unfairly
being dirtied, launching the whole economy of a country into
trouble, without valid justification to do so. Worse still, is when
Dr. Phil on his own show insinuated that Natalee Holloway
could possibly be in Cancun, Mexico. The question remains
whether Natalee is not in Aruba, then how can he continue
to promote a boycott against Aruba?
They also said that Mexico has slavery in the prostitution
underworlds, and that would pay millions for Natalee Holloway,
because she is a very popular young woman now…
then how can Aruba be boycotted?
We are speaking here of a lawsuit which could run into the
millions of American dollars if Aruba can prove that our
economy and revenues of certain merchants go down
because of the whole boycott which he is promoting
against our island.The intention is to look for more
local merchants to lend a hand in the high cost of
lawyers in the U.S. Many are thinking that if such a case
would be worth it, then it has to be done to put some
finality to the low manner in which the American press is
treating our island, without giving us the chance to reply.
