Firing the first shots
I've been compiling all kinds of juicy stuff about Aruba for awhile now in preperation for the boycott. Things like governmental recalls due to a corruption expose in the 1980s, many reports of drug tafficking and seizures in Aruba (and a police complaint about how woefully understaffed Aruban law enforcement is), Dutch concerns that Aruba would become a banana republic in time, and crime reports you don't see in the U.S.
Aruba might be able to lie, make false promises, shift the blame, and slander the victim and her family (incidentally, slandering the victim of a crime is a common tactic that criminals use when confronted with the crime they committed- Taylor Biehl's murderer did just that). But one thing Aruba can't do is hide the truth or hide their past.
I hold a degree in recreation and tourism, and I am happy to announce that I stand ready to advise Beth and Dave on how to make the boycott work the best. I have years of experience under my belt building tourism industries; I can sure help tear one down too.
Burn, Aruba, burn...or find Natalee. Your choice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as for posting on my blog, here are the ground rules:
1. If you want to be devil's advocate (quite appropriate for Aruba), go ahead. If you want to even defend Aruba, by all means do. Just be polite and try to be intelligent- I won't slam you for spelling 'semantics' wrong, but complete sentences and well-articulated thoughts are a plus. Just be warned, if you're pro-Aruba anything you post I can and will use against Aruba if possible! To me, this is war- not because of what happened to Natalee but because the Aruban government has no interest in solving this case and has shown only empty, token sympathy and consideration for Natalee's family- and only when it suits their interests.
2. Anything outright slanderous, cruel, or hateful toward Natalee, her family (Holloways and Twittys), or anyone who has helped this family (Tim Miller, Joe Mammana, etc) will be deleted as soon as I see it. If you want to slam these people, you might be more at home on Joran's blog or that other Dan's website.
3. Respect other bloggers. Any post made against another blogger (or myself) that I feel is hateful or slanderous will come down as soon as I see it.
4. Feel free to post anything you think might help solve this case, comfort Natalee's family, or help the boycott effort or help apply pressure for a competent, impartial, and transparent investigation- post it here! Constructive efforts are always welcome- even if they are pro-Aruba. I especially welcome and encourage prayers and letters of support for Natalee and her folks.

I guess I'm the internet joke for the 'semantics' thing. But look at this:
semantics
n. (used with a sing. or pl. verb)
1. Linguistics. The study or science of meaning in language.
2. Linguistics. The study of relationships between signs and symbols and what they represent. Also called semasiology.
3. The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form: We're basically agreed; let's not quibble over semantics.
SO THERE! :)
Hey I'm on your side here, hon. But you might want to tell 'that other Dan' what a jerk he is.
He seems to be about the only guy who doesn't realize this yet...
Let me tell you something about Julia Renfro. I had a little rappor going with her for awhile, until she informed me that her publisher refused to print anything related to the case yet she is still free to appear on U.S. TV (that and Dave's people asked me to sever that correspondence). It's pretty simple, really: anything that comes out of any Aruban government official's mouth, regardless of how reasonable and smooth it is, is a load of bull. Solving Natalee's disappearance is the last thing they really want, because it will expose a lot of the sordid things that go on in Aruba that tourists never see...drugging and date rapes for sport, drug traffic, money laundering (just look into who owns what on Aruba and where they're from and what they've been investigated for in the past). The one person who has the authority, either officially or through political ties with the MEP, chose to protect these slimebags over cleaning house for the Aruban people. His name is no great secret: Nelson Oduber. You'd be surprised at how many people who were staunch defenders of Aruba regret ever voting for the MEP now...
I hope the MEP enjoys the last four years they will have in power...or maybe they've forgotten what happened in the '80s when the Carauna-Cuntreras mafia scandal was exposed, and how they came to power in the first place.
No worries, folks. Anything I think is the least bit slanderous or critical of Beth, Dave, Natalee, or any of their supporters will get deleted. People want to hate on these poor people are are victims plain and simple can go to elsewhere to do it.
The real truth about Aruba is, the number of Americans who support this boycott greatly eclipses those who do not, and since we control Aruba's purse strings...it doesn't take a rocket sceintist to figure out what will happen. The Aruban visit with Bachus was to reassure the Aruban people, not to sway U.S. opinion. I think the MEP realzies that is a lost cause but they have a small chance to stay in power if the Arubans believe that we have any confidence in Aruba's current administration or the ALE.
Burn, Aruba, burn...
mrskrass, you are the weakest link.
Goodbye!

Dan, It is good to find yet another blog, on the side of TRUTH and for Natalee, in this war.
Hey Dan,
Have you heard? Steve Cohen admits that 2 of the boys had sex with Natalee.
http://travelvideo.tv/news/more.php?id=7831_0_1_0_M
http://www.arubatruth.com/
“Two of the boys said they had consensual sex with her. Whether consensual or not, depends on her ability to be conscious and make a choice,” said Cohen.
Now, to all of you who reading this that called Beth Twitty a liar.....pfffffft!
Miriam(who can't remember her blogger password)
I fully understand and support a boycot of Aruba. I am planning a vacation with my family and the carribbean is an area under consideration. I can tell you that I would never set foot on Aruba soil . It is not a safe place. The students who did come home were lucky and the Aruban government is actually performing an act of terrorism. My prayers go to the family and to Natalee I pray for her safe return.
I have to say ,I pray for her safe return and the incompetents in Aruba need to remember who feeds them..because without tourism they are done..I agree to boy cotting them..some one needs to play hard ball here..What goes around comes around..
i've heard that there have been death threats to beth and helen and also the mb students. i hope beth has adequate protection at all times. if these lowlifes will murder her daughter, i don't think they would hesitate to go to alabama. especially this renfroe woman. i think she slashed helen's tires. she seems to be the hateful type.
Pretty much everyone in Beth's camp at least doesn't trust Julia any further than they can drop-kick her. You see Aruba Today, the newspaper she works for, refuses to cover the Holloway case, which is fine and dandy. But Julia will herself not hesitate to go on national TV and blab blab blab!
Helen Lejuez presided over Dumbpig's divorce- she was his ex-wife's lawyer. As for who slashed her tires, well...I have my suspicions!
Beth has been threatened many times...and guess what? She threatened back! I don't know the particulars except that it was a 'I'll do this', and Beth's reply was a kind of, "Then I'll do this!" and it escalated to some point.
Dave has also been threatened...him AND Robin and his elementary-school age girls! Just so you know what kind of lowlifes Aruiba is harboring...when you plan your vacations remember that.
