BOYCOTT THE DUTCH

On November 8, 2005 Governor Riley of Alabama and Beth Holloway-Twitty asked the good people of the US to participate in a boycott of Aruba and the dutch territories in hopes of putting some economic pressure on the powers that be into finally opening a legitimate investigation into to disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The complete lack of cooperation and intimidation techniques used by the Aruban law enforcement and the goverrnment officials on Aruba have been seriously unprofessional, unethical and extremely distressing.

Beth Twitty and Dave Holloway have shown the utmost patience and concern for the people of Aruba while attempting to work with LE to no avail. LE has constantly threatened to stop the investigation, refused to speak to the family, bad-mouthed the family and anyone that helps them besides the general rudeness of asking how much money they had to look for her and telling them to have a beer and wait a few days she was probably laid up at a crack house. The prosecutor has been equally condecending beginning with her negative connotation of the family as "cowboys" and a "posse" insinuating they were out to lynch someone. Her failure to keep an open line of communication with the family and watching her slam the car door in people's faces was a bit over the top. Her vacation in the middle of what should have been an important part of the case was absurd and more proof that she was not taking this seriously. When one considers that this is the biggest case to ever hit the island of Aruba, you would think they would do their best to solve the crime quickly and efficiently. Instead they have dragged their feet, made excuses, lost evidence, released suspects, taken vacations, and forgotten more than they knew.

It is a shame the the people of Aruba do not see that the real problem is their own law enforcement and government. They have been spoonfed by Aruba Today and Bondia that this is all the fault of Natalee's family. Aruban law enforcement and their government refuses to admit any errors whatsoever. They continue to claim they have done a thorough investigation and the family is just out for revenge. They naturally will not show any proof of any type of investigation, because they can't. It is extremely unfortunate that the majority of people in Aruba are unable to think for themselves and must rely on the propaganda spread by their government, but I am sure that IS the way the government likes it. It gives them the ultimate control.
