Natalee Case Discussion #823 8/13/09 - 9/06/09

[wreck]

I am in no way "justifying" what Dave has done. I am in fact just pointing out why I think Dave has succumbed. I agree that this is undoubtedly undermining Natalee. I agree that it very disturbing and wrong. I just don't think Dave is "corrupt". I don't think he took a pay-off.

[Tamikosmom]

If I were to betray my precious daughter ... logic dictates it would not be for nothing.  The price/incentive would have to be right.

Wreck - I agree.  I do not doubt that Dave Holloway loves Natalee and would have done anything to get her back.  I don't think Dave is corrupt and I don't think anyone in the Holloway/Twitty family has taken any "pay offs".  I do believe that knowing WHO TO TRUST in Aruba has been hard for the Holloway/Twitty's just as it has been hard for others.

[klaasend]

Janet - I cannot believe that Dave Holloway would knowingly undermine anything pertaining to justice for Natalee.  Not knowingly.

[Buckeye]

Speaking of being bought.

Here is yet one more who spouted off on behalf of Aruba - and it appears Mr Cohen had a vested interest all along.

Minister Edison Briesen, with behind the plans for the new port in Barcadera.

ORANGE CITY - Minister of Tourism and Transportation Edison Briesen (MEP) took a lot out yesterday morning for what he called friends and family from Astec their efforts to move the container port to Barcadera stop. "At the local level was a tough campaign against this project," says breeze.

Thus stevedoring company Astec to Aruba Ports Authority (APA) sent a letter in which she demanded that no one but them should be discussed in terms of concessions in the new container port. They would also have sent letters with the same content to interested groups in Spain and other countries. Briesen: "Even the government would have no right to sit at the table interested" He also mentioned efforts by other parties, including the return of RED at the Public Prosecutor (OM) of alleged corruption by Tempest and premier Oduber. AVP, Partido Democracia Real and MPA went so far as to letters to the Senate and House and the governor. According Briesen they had jumped into the discussion with the purpose political gain from the situation to get.

Yrausquin

The press were all kinds of items with charges to breeze. Thus he would be bound to the Spanish consortium Alatec, money under the table and would have received APA losing its authority as soon as the port is ready. Atia Employer Organization, Chamber of Commerce and Winkeliersvereniging Mambo - according Briesen "the Friends & Family of Astec" - would a "threatening letter" sent. In it they had expressed concern about developments in and around the port area and the impact on the cruise tourism and the economy of the island. Also a bailiff came along at a meeting of the Board of APA with a letter from Atia by all council members should be read. In that letter, Atia, was chaired by Juan David Yrausquin now on the list of opposition ASF state, APA reports about internal protection. Reports during the session of the tribunal last week were again presented by Astec. According to Atia port project would be disastrous for APA. Should APA perish what Atia in the letter an adventure called Atia takes over the entire Supervisory Board responsible for maladministration and unlawful act.

Also, a letter sent to Yrausquin Trusam, developer of the five-star hotel on Bushiri is built. The letter had stated that although the country Aruba is the largest shareholder of APA, it has no right to speak on behalf of APA. "So neither the government nor the prime minister nor the minister may talk about APA. No, only Juan David and AVP can do that! Hilarious, "says breeze. Commitments on behalf of the government to interested parties would not be binding, according to this letter. AVP-leader Mike Eman would also have sent letters to Spain. In those letters would have said about a sale of the port and that the sales would not enjoy widespread support. Briesen: "At no time was discussed sale of the port. And our party has a majority of eleven in parliament, "It would have withheld information, which is carrying out the duties of the opposition would have impeded. "Each year during the budget discussions, all plans on the table. It apparently gives them an additional internal documents in their mailbox. They even had the audacity to take this internal documents to the court to go, "said Minister of Tourism and Transport.


Not valid

The ruling of the Court of Arbitration of the Arbitration Institute of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba rejected in favor of Aruba Ports Authority (APA) over stevedoring company Astec. The arbitration containing the President of the Arnhem Court and the President and Vice President of the Arnhem Court decided that the final last year by APA denunciations of the concession agreement by January 1, 2010 Astec not valid. Astec remains the exclusive stevedoring from port to the award process for a new operator has completed the relocation of the port is completed, and the new operator in Barcadera actually able to stevedoring operations there to start. Then keep the exclusive stevedoring contract at Astec.

Land Aruba is now a public tender seeking an operator for the new container port. Astec financial claims by the arbitration dismissed. The company believed to have rights to compensation through wrongful breach of contract, the assertion that it was not in good faith would have been covered and they should be paid for their exclusive right. "This contract from 1983 is outdated," said Minister Briesen yesterday. A response Astec Director Marinus Clean the ruling of the arbitration to materialize. The director is on vacation.

Since when was it illegal to be in possession of drugs in Aruba?  OR is it just who you happen to be and whether you belong to their exclusive elite club?  They make me sick to my stomach    (I HATE THEM ALL).

Good afternoon Blue Moon and all Monkeys.

Is it known for a fact that Dave is still aligned with Purcell etc. ?

Could it be that Dave's price/incentive was to find his dear daughter?

 

[crazybabyborg]

I am in no way "justifying" what Dave has done. I am in fact just pointing out why I think Dave has succumbed. I agree that this is undoubtedly undermining Natalee. I agree that it very disturbing and wrong. I just don't think Dave is "corrupt". I don't think he took a pay-off.

Wreck - I agree.  I do not doubt that Dave Holloway loves Natalee and would have done anything to get her back.  I don't think Dave is corrupt and I don't think anyone in the Holloway/Twitty family has taken any "pay offs".  I do believe that knowing WHO TO TRUST in Aruba has been hard for the Holloway/Twitty's just as it has been hard for others.

Thanks Klaas. You said exactly how I feel and think. I know in my gut that Dave's commitment to Natalee; her memory and desire for justice, is genuine and intact. He is mortal, and therefore can be subject to influence and misjudgement, but in my strong opinion, his intentions and purpose have all been above board.

If I were to betray my precious daughter ... logic dictates it would not be for nothing.  The price/incentive would have to be right.

Maybe Dave's "price/incentive" is peace in his home and the ability to stay in the lives of his other two daughters.

... and maybe "peace in his home and the ability to stay in the lives of his other two daughters" is not Dave's motive at all to maintain his three year relationship with the enemy.

Where is there any indication that Robin is manipulative and controlling.  Where is there any indication that Dave does not act according to his own free will ?  Where is there any indication that Robin and Dave are not a team like most husbands and wife?

All indicationd prior to the Mark Purcell connection indicated that Robin and Dave were one in their quest to replace the Aruban investigative team.  All indications of their words in in interview in the talk show circuit were that they were one in their perception that a corrupt investigation was denying Natalee justice and Joran, Deepak and Satish knew the answers Robin and Dave were so desperate seeking?  All indication in Dave's words in CORRUPTION IN PARADISE imply that he had a free will in his challenging of the Aruban Law Enforcement and ... supporting the boycott.

Many on this forum have chosen to speculate that Robin is manipultive and ... poor Dave is forced to toe her line or else.  I choose to believe that Robin and Dave are a team and have mutual motives for maintaining an ongoing relationship with Mark Purcell ... a team as indicated in all of Robin's posts.

We realize some of you will not agree, but as much as we want to know what happened to Natalee, Dave and I no longer support a boycott of Aruba. We thank everyone who did so on our behalf, but it is no longer necessary to do so for Dave or me. We realize it is an individual choice, but please try to see it from our perspective. In our opinion, the boycott has caused a lot of hurt for a lot of innocent people in Aruba who do not deserve that.

Monkeys and Natalee's Freebirds knew from the getgo that Robin and Dave joining forces with enemy and expecting a positive outcome was not going to happen.  Three years later ... Robin and Dave are still expecting that positive outcome to happen compliments of Mark Purcell?  I don't think so.  Inquiring mind want to know what positive outcome does Natalee's stepmother and father expect out of this long term relationship?
