1. Aruba and its dirty little secret
The Natalee Holloway cover up and Antilles’
alleged Criminal Banking Business
Enterprise.Are they connected?
It’s an absolute tragedy what happened to that Alabama teen. As the Hollowaystory recedes
further away from our thoughts and those of the mainstream media, let us think about how
and why the Aruban approach was handled in such an unusually callousmanner. Aruba
and Curacao are now independent of the Antilles but still under Dutch rule. The Judges who
hand down decisions on those Islandsare directly out of Holland and have etiquette where
they are not to intermingle too personally with the locals keeping themselves from being
influenced.
If you spend any time on the Island beyond that one week escape you begin to envision a
different manner about these people. The younger workers are rather laid back like most
Island people but also carry an air of cynicism and lack of enthusiasm uncommon to many
who live in what would be considered a paradise. The attitude of many of the workers is
reflected best when you go to the local stores and stand in line for what seems like eternity
waiting for what would appearto besimple procedures. Many times in some of the stores
you will see workers standing and talking but you have to chase them down as they scatter
while you are seeking help. If you have to deal with Dimas their immigration service you
become quite astounded at the hurdles and runaround that you are presented with for
what seems like very simple procedures that could easily be expedited. If you are an
American and use to that type service you will be exasperated and brought to the point of
anger as it looks to be almost intentional.
The younger generation is telling you something. After spending time talking with these
youth they present a picture of subtle futility or as one said “what is the use of trying.” Most
kids on that Island are sent off to College right out of High School to Holland or the US and
few return. Those that stay are faced with what seems like a system in place where there is
a ceiling that even if you work hard and succeed there will be someone there to cut you
back down. The cash businesses that you pay for have to be watched closely as they will tell
you one thing and not deliver. Many of these are Columbian or Venezuela native run who
have immigrated or are illegals working to eat and survive. The Aruban adults are quite
gracious and hospitable. They are much like the Ozzie and Harriet’s of the US in the ‘60’s.

2. They would remind you of the Midwest farm families always with open doors and help you
at the very moment you are in need.
These adults also carry an air of caution about certain topics that are taboo and rarely
spoken about. Unless you are in Business or come into contact with the Banking sector of
this Island you will miss what is at the crux of the issue they are facing. When Natalee met
here tragic end here it really could have happened anywhere. What has brought so much
attention to this tragedy is the way the investigation was handled by the people who were
presented as the face of Aruba and saddled with the aftermath. It’s not unusual for an
Island that relies on Tourism to be cautious about this type of story and the light that would
be shown on them through the world press. What is unusual is the approach that was
engaged. You see these people are very highly educated. Many speak four or more
languages quite fluently. It is not their manner as a people not to care for this teenager or
her family.
How did that decision happen wherean educated loving people on “One Happy Island”
decide that it would be best to stonewall and put up a front that there’s no body no crime?
It simply doesn’t make sense.Natalee was obviously there. There were classmates with her
and actual pictures of her last night there at Carlos and Charlie’s. There was never really
any question who she was with when she was last seen alive. What was the issue that
would lead to such an act of obviousstonewalling? What should be asked is who was
making the decisions and from that you maybe can deductwhat was the real reason for the
stonewalling. There was never any real question if she was there and who she was with yet
Vandersloot was let go? The faces the authorities put in front of the cameras were all
carrying the same uneasy approach as if they were being pushed to present a story that
was not complete yet they were being told what to say. None of it looked true but surreal to
those watching or present. From that the press began to probe and dig deeper. It made
those in the decision making positions very uneasy. Soon there was a move to present that
every rock had been overturned and there is simply nothing here, go home and we’ll call
you if we find anything.
Why do you as an Island supposedly built on Tourism put on such a front of stonewalling
where the results are immediately obvious to those watching that it was damaging the
image of the Island yet stay with that approach even to this day? Now that Vandersloot has
been caught after a second murder where the blood on his hands can be tied to the
stonewalling of the authorities of Aruba and his releasetheir posture is still“One Happy
Island”? To this day Aruba tourism has never returned to the levels it enjoyed prior to the
Nataleetragedy.
It has to be something bigger than a Blonde teenager was murdered as there was never
really any question that something happened tragically to her. The authorities were hiding

3. something and it wasn’t the murder as it had already obviously had been committed.
Unless you are an outsider with an escape route that gives you freedom to speak you would
never be allowed within this system to talk about it. After reading the written stories of
the local business people you begin to understand there is a deceitful shadow system
that is in place that seems to controlCommerce, Government, and Education, most of
the Media and all important areas where decisions are made that is robbing the
Island and its economy that directly affects the people of Aruba and possibly the
Antilles. The critical decisions seem to originate out of the Netherlands. The Banking
sector looks to have a controlled monopoly as the only source for funds. In that atmosphere
anyone looking to enter into a business venture is relegated to their standard loan
requirements of a personal guarantee on all loans regardless of the equity you have as a
security.
The American investors have given me access to some of the evidence. There seems to be
an overwhelming case in this information that the Banking system and how it operates in
Aruba and probably the Antilles is miles apart from how Banks in the western World and
European countries operate. From the evidence you can see that Aruba Bank acted in a
manner that in the US would be considered questionable right from the beginning. There
continued pursuit of the plaintiff and collateral even to this day in the face of evidence that
seems to implicate them in multiple acts of alleged Banking fraud and alleged collusion
with the Renaissance with complete disregard of the law and contracts indicate they maybe
above the law or are the law.
How can one Bank in a country act in this manner without attracting the attention of the
regulatory authorities designed to keep entities that are powerful such as Banks from
stepping over the line? The truth is hidden to the borrower until they are already involved
and tied to a contract they have no way out of. In this case Aqua Spa and its investors
always assumed that there were reasonable laws, an ethical Central Banking authority
watching over the systeman adequate judicial system in place to protect them and
attorneys that would judicially present the truth. It’s something you really shouldn’t need
to question in a western world country such as Aruba or Curacao.
In the Natalee Holloway cover up there was an indicator to the outside world that
something wasn’t right there on that Island of Aruba. Here lies the dirty little secret that
outsiders are not supposed to know and insiders keep silent about for their own
safety. This country is suspected from the evidence provided to have an alleged
criminal Business Banking systemallegedly run out of the Netherlands designed to
steal the wealth of anyone who enters into a contract with any of these entities on
this Island and possibly the rest of the Antilles. It is tapping the Island, its people and
the resources coming out of the Netherlands. The system in place allegedly runs all
Business and Banks. It assures that nofinancial institution enters their system unless they

4. play by their rules. All interest rates are the same across the board with no competition,
there are few and very lose regulations that govern the loans and protective language for
the borrower. They look to control the temporary political people that are elected who
become subject to their authority upon taking office. All laws and regulations especially
around Banking are subject not to standard western world Banking procedures and law
but to their desire. All Government contracts are at their discretion and go to those who
are in their favor. All attorneys on that Island are part of their system and if they want to
have business must play by theirrules or are frozen out.
When the American investors began to investigate they were faced with the same type of
stonewalling as those that were searching for answers about Natalee. You see the locals are
fearful of their wellbeing and those of their loved ones because the Banking- Business
system that controls commerce also controls theirlives. The Police, all Government
Departments, Schools, Hospitals, the judicial system, the potential jobs your kids could
have when they return and others are under their complete control. This for the locals is
like being in an internment camp or prison where you are at the mercy of those that stand
guard over you waiting for you to step out of place.
In that atmosphere those pushed in front of the TV and other media in the days
immediately following the disappearance of Natalee were not allowed to speak freely. They
were reduced to solders speaking for a system in place that controlled their lives. They
could not state the truth but were given specific things to say all designed to protect the
system. Throughtheir presentation the system was allowed to stay intact, the Arubans
suffered the most and the real decision makers allegedly in the Netherlands and their
money stream remainsin place. Their main money stream is rumored to originate from the
Drugs shipped through their duty free container ports, Guns and contraband that returns to
South America from Europe and the money laundering that all Banks in the Caribbean are
enticed with.
Ultimately it will be the judicial system that will decide what happens to Aruba and the
Antilles. It must rise to a tolerable level of integrity and take its rightful place where all
countries that call themselves a democracy reside. As long as this Banking Cartel allegedly
directed out of the Netherlands stays in control and accepted Banking procedures and
regulations are disregarded do not look for any change. If the rumored money source is the
laundering than the tourism and those that work in it will suffer but the real money stream
will stay intact as “One Happy Island” and its imprisoned population is kept under that
veiled threat don’t tell anyone what is really happening here or you will face the
consequences.
