Natalee Case Discussion #743 3/14 - 3/19/08

[crazybabyborg]

I didn't know they had evil leprechauns as well! 

 

[klaasend]

Anyone think there's some misdirection going on here???

What do you mean?

[Keepthefaith]

Please, Please, Please tell me that Greta's buddy Joe Tacopina is representing AHATA!!!!!!!

Joe is on the AHATA team. He may have just lost his chair at Fox.

NO! for real?
 

Joe Tacopina is part of the Van der Sloot legal team that includes Antonio Carlo, Joran's personal attorney and Paulus' business partner. Antonio Carlo sits on the board of the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association, commonly known as AHATA.

If anybody has a pipleline to Greta they might like to pass these pertinent facts on or post them at her blog.

Taco might as well get his time share in Aruba furnished so he can walk the streets because he isn't welcome in my neighborhood.....

Since nothing has been on air....does anyone think there might be a BAD announcement coming out of Aruba....and this is preemptive??

Maybe the OM has cut a deal with Joran that if he goes into a "hospital" for treatment all charges will be dropped against him.  Of course it all had to be approved by Big Daddy and Mommy first but they are o.k. with it as long as their Sporter doesn't come into contact with those big, mean ole people in KIA.  I mean what a perfect solution for them so now it is time to prove to the American's that Aruba does its job and does it well.

Yes, this is a perfect plan...as long as no one talks or they don't find her body or anything that might incriminate Joran as more than just seeing a dead girl.  I hope the Kalpoes are still looking over their shoulder.

[crazybabyborg]

Could be part of a new overall strategy. 1) Let the case die on the vine....because it is fully ripe now, thanks to Joran's confessional. 2) Be proactive to those pesky media personalities that are attached to the story. 3) Set start time when it's seems that the Persistence will turn up nothing.

If so it shows just how detached they are from what goes on in the news in this country. Greta has done far less damage to Aruba than other Fox anchors and other networks. Sure, she paraded into an empty police station but she also cooed up their golden boy's innocence for a year and a half. That has been their goal all along si she was one of their greatest assets in the US media.

I really hope this is true. It really will be one more nail in Aruba's coffin.

Did I hear Greta say that their tourism was up 8%?  I thought it is still down.

Their most recent report claims it's up.

That's what she said. I also read that in an article about tourism from the UK increasing on the island.

If so CBB it is an ill thought out strategy. Why would they want to bring more attention to themselves? This could be viewed as anti-American if Fox plays they cards right.

I follow British news and Natalee is not covered in the UK.

Are our GA Monkeys OK? Oh, wrong thread, sorry.

Any thoughts Klaas on the misdirection??

Maybe that's why they're so mad at her. She did a 180* turn after the DeVries show. BTW, Dayhiker, have you read my signature line?

RU has been talking about Joe T filing suit against Greta and Nancy Grace for over a year.  I think AHATA finally found someone to attempt it but it's a joke.

I don't consider it misdirection though, I consider it stupidity.

It's up 8% from last year which was down last year as was the year before so in essence they are still trying to get back to where they were before Natalee went missing. When you see a claim something like cruise travel being up 12% you have to remember it was down 49% the year before. They have a long way to go before they ever catch up to where they were. Worse yet, their cost of living has been up 8% this year and last year so that negates any increases. Cost of living increases combined with tourism decreases is a double whammy.

[Keepthefaith]

Would it be possible for Joe T. to be backdooring the VDS family.He won't be welcome on any program anywhere for the rest of his life for suing Greta or Nancy.any Faith Joe T. is trying to open the door to the evidece in a backdoor kinda way.I may be crazy but just a thought.Doesn't make sense to me...
