Awareness Background State Secretary Knops (source Wikipedia)
It has been very quiet with the largest opposition parties on the discussion of the endless political conditioning of the VVD lead government towards St.Maarten. It almost is starting to feel like a “Goliath” and” David” story if you have any hope for a future. State Secretary Knops a well educated Minister Studied from 1990- 1995 Royal Military Academy Breda and 1996-1999 Public administration Erasmus University Rotterdam, he was deployed to Iraq as a policy adviser, as part of the military staff of the Dutch battlegroup commander of SFIR 5. People might want to argue his arrogance but it is simple he gets orders and executes it that's what he studied for “Military” style including all his working experiences. Our Political leaders who have not spend significant time in the Netherlands or did any negotiations should carefully re-strategize. After all, if you spend time in Iraq strategizing, St.Maarten is not a challenge.
Not surprisingly a political “turf war” will come now intentions are to bypass and embarrass the local Government-Parliament and directly fund NGOs influencing public opinion which was mentioned in an article of the local newspaper. A St.Maarten Budget debate now is just a formality and surprisingly the CFT is quiet.
Why FvD and PVV leaders roots are key?
Despite the opposition of several parties in the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament, the Party for Freedom PVV continues the process to handle an initiative law proposal to expel persons of the Dutch Caribbean countries from the Netherlands once they have committed a crime. Initiators of the law proposal, Members of Parliament (MPs) Sietse Fritsma and Machiel de Graaf (PVV). Has our parliament invited MP Fritsma and MP M de Graaf from PVV? Or are we going to continue to give attention to MP van Raak and Bosman? Don’t forget that MP van Raak has been on “a biblical mission” to criminally investigate his own top Dutch Executives in the Netherlands such as KMPG Jaap van Everdingen (who recently was acquitted) and executives from ING bank.
If our leaders had strategized and studied our political colleagues from the Hague one could quickly conclude that both Thierry Baudet and Geert Wilders have more in common with St.Maarten people then you think. They both find their roots-ancestors in “Indonesia” as a former colony which was massacred by the Netherlands for their independence action and behavior.
Both are “outcasts”, Wilders left the Liberal VVD party. They are now even considered as the “Dutch Outsiders” from the Hague with explosive popularity, now is this not a coincidence. Geert Wilder himself is battling a criminal case concerning certain statements he made about a ”foreign group” to defend his own country and people. Was this also not motivated because of his popularity which Thierry Baudet has now taken over.
Remember Wilders passionate words, vision, and mindset: Our people, Our Land, Our Culture, Our future – Is this not what St. Maarten is also aiming for?
Court Recognises Dutch “Colony” Massacres- Leaders Roots (source ; the Jakarta post – Norwegian Refugee Council; massacre world forgot : nrc)
Dutch Ambassador to Indonesia Tjeerd de Zwaan with some of the surviving family members of the victims of mass killings committed by the Dutch military between 1945 and 1949; Aisyah, Nuraeni, Ambo Upe, Andi Intang, and Nuraeni, after a ceremony in Jakarta. The Netherlands formally apologized for the killings that occurred more than six decades ago during Indonesia's fight for independence. Can we learn from Indonesians?
The court decided the Netherlands must apologize to them, but the government has also decided to apologize for similar cases of the same magnitude as cases in Rawagede and South Sulawesi. The Dutch government paid A20,000 (US$26,560) to each of the nine victim widows who sued the Netherlands at a court in The Hague over the Rawagede tragedy. In 2011, the Dutch government apologized for the Rawagede tragedy, which caused the deaths of no fewer than 430 Indonesians in 1947.
