Greetings from Holland

We NEED to import massive amounts of migrants because of the lower fertility rates there are "too" many pensioned people compared to "working" people...
Because of computer technology man is obsolete so most of these uneducated migrants can't get a "real" job. In the Netherlands unemployed people are forced to do things like "arrange traffic"; showing that they're worth less than a traffic sign.

Another great benefit of the migrants is that they keep the illusion of house shortage going, and the prices of houses high. In the Netherlands, we even have "rent subsidy" because people can´t afford the unrealistically high rents.
Expats are lured to the Netherlands with a 2 year tax exemption, which inflates rents and keeps wages down even more...
Who profits from this strategy?!?


In November 2017, it was first reported that Prince Bernhard Jr., cousin of King Willem-Alexander, owns 102 houses in Amsterdam, which are rented. Later that month it was reported that Bernhard Jr even owned 590 “addresses”; 349 of which in Amsterdam. These addresses are houses, apartments shopping centres and office buildings.
This earned him the nickname “pandjesprins”...

If I understand correctly a large part of this real estate is owned through Pinnacle BV that is owned by Bernhard Jr. and his business partners. I haven’t found out how much of it is personally owned by Bernhard Jr or who his business partners are.
Pinnacle has illegally demanded that the people who rent have to pay “sleutelgeld”, as an additional fee. Minister Ollongren confirmed that such practices are illegal in the Netherlands (in Dutch): https://www.amweb.nl/financiele-pla...pandjesprins-bernhard-jr-geen-kwaad-101106596


Last year, the city of Amsterdam fined Pinnacle BV for continuing to illegally rent houses to groups of people, even after it was warned several times.
Bernhard Jr. simply claimed that he didn’t know because others handled the affairs, but he was personally sent a letter to inform him on 19 June 2017…
In May 2018, Pinnacle was first granted permission to rent their addresses to larger groups.

Bernhard Jr also owns the circuit in Zandvoort and recently bought the Mediapark in Hilversum, where much state propaganda for Dutch TV is produced.
Sure… independent media.

A member of parliament (Tweede Kamer) Wybren van Haga, who owns dozens of addresses, was likewise fined for illegally renting one of his houses to 6 persons (in Dutch): https://www.parool.nl/amsterdam/dwangsom-voor-prins-bernhard-en-partners~a4620449/ (archived here: http://archive.is/y6hH3)


The following article shows that in 2018 Pinnacle sold a single office building for 21.5 million Euros to La Française Real Estate Managers. And then renting property in the same building.
In 2017, Pinnacle sold property to a French investor for almost 96 million Euro (in Dutch): https://www.vastgoedmarkt.nl/belegg...innacle-verkoopt-amsterdams-kantoor-101130546


Of course we can’t expect our wonderful media to estimate the worth of these 590 “addresses” and the circuit in Zandvoort and Mediapark. I think it’s safe to estimate the net worth of the 590 addresses at more than 400 million Euros...
In 2009, Forbes magazine estimated Queen Beatrix’s (mother of now King Willem-Alexander) wealth at a low $200 million.

Just 10 years earlier, in 1999, Forbes estimated Queen Beatrix’s worth at £25 billion.
Noting that that a reliable calculation had been made impossible by the Dutch secrecy: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/jun/30/monarchy.world


In 2003, the grandfather of Willem-Alexander and Bernhard Jr., husband of former Queen Juliana Prince Bernhard, phoned Christopher Forbes, who is married to his German niece, and demanded to stop printing exaggerations of his family fortune.
Forbes told him to call editor Luisa Kroll, who personally arranged that the official wealth of the Dutch family was brought further down from $2.5 billion in 2002 to $250 million in 2003: https://www.newsweek.com/fall-royal-fortune-138375

Dutch railroad – crimes against humanity

Every single day Dutch articles are published that taxes are so high because the Kingdom of the Netherlands is such a wonderful “care state” (verzorgingSStaat).


From 2004 to 2011, the municipality of Tilburg forced more than 800 welfare recipients to remove paint from old trains destined for the rail museum, or they would lose their benefits.
Even though they knew that the paint contained chromium 6 that causes cancer.

After a committee decided that the the state-owned rail company NS (NederlandSe Spoorwegen), Railway Museum, and the municipality of Tilburg are responsible for their health damage, Erik de Ridder (for the Tilburg local council) and NS chairman, former minister Roger van Boxtel (a.k.a. Rogier) announced they will give a whopping €7,000 to every worker exposed to chromium 6 and on top of that €5,000 to €40,000 for people who have fallen ill.

The total pay is restricted to a maximum of €10 million.
Over the last years it was repeatedly denied that their health problems were caused by their forced labour.

The victims’ lawyer Yme Drost said that this offer is a “noble gesture”.
These ungrateful bastards even complain, because they think that a human life is worth more than €7,000.

The arrangement still has to be accepted by the Tilburg council: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2019/02/jobless-put-to-work-with-poisonous-paint-to-get-compensation/


In November 2018, the NS agreed to pay compensation to survivors and relatives of only the Jews transported by their trains to the Nazi concentration camps during the second world war.
From July 1942 to September 1944, the NS was paid €2.5m (£2.2; $2.8m) in today’s money for delivering 102,000 Jews, prisoners of war and labourers to Germany and Poland. In 2005, NS’s chief executive Aad Veenman apologised for their service to the Nazis. Reportedly only 5,000 Jews survived.

The predecessor of Arcadis (de Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij) and Philips profited from slave labour during the occupation by the German Nazis.

In 2014, under pressure from US politicians, the French railways operator SNCF agreed to pay £40 million in compensation for moving some 76,000 Jews to concentrion camps during WW II of which reportedly only about 3,000 survived: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/28/dutch-rail-pay-compensation-jews-nazi-death-camps


In 1944, Queen in exile Wilhelmina complimented the employees of the NS for doing their patriotic duty.
Even after the war, Minister for transport Steef van Schaik said that tranporting the Jews to the concentration camps was demanded by the Dutch government in exile because it was good for the Dutch economy.

On 17 September 1944, the Dutch government in London, in support of the starvation in the coming winter (hongerwinter), called to stop the trains through Radio Oranje (in Dutch): http://www.drentheindeoorlog.nl/?aid=519 (archived here: http://archive.is/rWNnU)


Am I mistaken that the Jews didn´t look terribly stressed out for being transported to the concentration camps?

The new Vice-President of the Raad van State, Thom de Graaf, is a former minister and was a prominent member of the D66 party.
Roger van Boxtel was (also) of D66.


In 2017, more than 200 people filed charges against leader of D66 Alexander Pechtold. They complained that Pechtold had received the gift to live for free at an appartment in Scheveningen from former Canadian Ambassador in Bosnia Serge Marcoux.
Pechtold should have registered this “gift”.

The Procureur-Generaal at the Supreme Court (Hoge Raad) decided that this isn’t suspicious and closed the case.
The District Attorney (Openbaar Ministerie), I’m not sure if this is even authorised to prosecute members of the Tweede Kamer, also closed the case.

Pechtold resigned on 9 October 2018 (in Dutch): https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/actuee...rzoek-na-aangiften-over-schenking-appartement


In January 2016, Wassila Hachchi, another politician of D66, got adverse publicity after she resigned to join the presidential campaign of none other than Hillary Clinton.
Because they made a deal that she was working “as a volunteer” the Dutch taxpayer continued to pay her 6,800 Euros per month in non-active allowance: https://nltimes.nl/2016/02/18/dutch-mp-resigned-clinton-campaign-now-working-volunteer

In October 2018, shortly after Alexander Pechtold resigned, Hachchi announced that she rejoined D66. She has the right on non-active allowance until April 2019....


Not many people know that the Dutch government is one of the BIGGEST donors of the Clinton Foundation.
The Postcodeloterij alone has donated 27.7 million Euros since 2005 (one of only 3 that donated more than $25 million until the first half of 2015): https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Clinton-Foundation-Aiming-to/232059

Secret Order of St. Joris

For some time I have been investigating the Order of the Garter and its patron saint St George: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?511234-Dragon-court/page3

In Dutch, Saint George is called Sint Joris.
I´m once again shocked over what I found out...

The shocking part I found is the “Geheime Orde van Sint Joris” (Secret Order of St George) that was founded in March 1943 in The Hague under the command of Grandmaster Edzard Hendrik Juckema van Burmania baron Rengers, retired Generaal-Majoor of the cavalry.

Its goal was to fight against the “enemy” (the Germans?) by all means necessary during the occupation and thereafter. All in the service for Queen in exile Wilhelmina (in Dutch): http://www.onderscheidingen.nl/nl/publicaties/besluit/gemeente/sintjoris.html
(archived here: http://archive.is/f09db)

Grandmaster Edzard Hendrik Juckema van Burmania baron Rengers descended from the president of the opium trafficking VOC, Egbert Rengers (1687-1745) - in Dutch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjuck_van_Burmania_Rengers

Since the Geheime Orde van Sint Joris was founded, many Jews were deported to the concentration camps, many members of the resistance were executed, the Dutch were starved in the “Hongerwinter” and Germany was starved for years (in the Morgenthau plan that supposedly wasn’t performed).
There is no further information on this interesting Order at all!

On 18 September 2018, Prinsjesdag, the Dutch government announced their plans for new taxes in 2019.

The VAT rate on things like groceries and medicine will be increased from 6% to 9%. It is estimated that this will cost the average household an additional 300 euro per year.
Other changes include simplification and lower income taxes.

Corporate income taxes will be reduced. The Dutch CIT rate will be reduced from 20% to 16% for the first EUR 200,000 and from 25% to 22.5% for taxable profits exceeding EUR 200,000.

I have a hard time understanding that even though the changes in taxes are expected to increase the tax profits with 3.1 billion euro, of which 2.3 billion will come from consumers and 0.8 billion euro from companies, according to the Dutch government on average the Dutch household will be taxed less: https://www.twobirds.com/en/news/articles/2018/netherlands/dutch-tax-plan-2019


At the same time council taxes will increase with some 5.4% on average. This is higher than the inflation of 2.4% (that can be caused by higher taxes...).
The increase is mainly because the governent increased waste collection fees.

There is a wide variation in local taxes, for example: tenants in Nijmegen pay an average of just €40 while in Zaanstad the average bill hits €571, while home owners’ average taxes vary from €563 in The Hague to €856 in Enschede.

The biggest increase in council taxes compared to 2018 is in Molenlanden with a 23.4% increase (161 euro) and Cuijk with 18% (106 euro).
The biggest increase facing tenants this year is in Haarlem, with more than 18% and Amsterdam with a rise of 17.6%. Amsterdam is also placed high on the list of local authorities where home owners’ bills have gone up most, with a rise of 11.3%: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2019/01/council-taxes-rise-amsterdam-tenants-and-home-owners-hard-hit/

From 1998 to 2010, Willem-Alexander was on the board of supervisors of the Dutch central bank (De Nederlandsche Bank): https://www.nu.nl/economie/2033043/prins-niet-langer-commissaris-dnb.html


In the 1970s the Dutch government claimed that from now on the Dutch Royal family will pay taxes like everybody else.

What wasn’t widely told was that the Royal degenerates got compensation for supposedly paying taxes.
In the 1970s, they got more than 150.000 guilders compensation per year. King Willem-Alexander receives some 5.5 million euro a year in compensation.

The Secretary-General at the ministry of Finance himself disagreed that the population was fooled by telling them about the taxes, but then compensating these taxes.
The cabinet agreed that during the debate nothing would be said about the tax compensation for the Royal family (in Dutch): http://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nederland/p...llen-jaren-compensatie-voor-betalen-belasting (archived here: http://web.archive.org/web/20171101033031/http://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nederland/politiek/oranjes-krijgen-al-tientallen-jaren-compensatie-voor-betalen-belasting)


In 1993, prins pils Willem-Alexander bought palace Noordeinde 66 from former queen Juliana for some 340,000 euro (750,000 guilders).
In 2008, Queen Beatrix had the government buy Noordeinde for 3.25 million euro (before or after the crash?) an increase of 333.3% in 15 years (more than 10% profit per year).

In 2014, it was announced that the Royal palaces would be renovated for a total of 127 million euro.
Noordeinde 66 would be renovated for 0.9 million euro. As is so often the case the tax payer had to cough up much more - 3.7 million euro (in Dutch): http://www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/renovatie-paleizen-kost-de-staat-ruim-127-miljoen-euro~a3761656/


In 2014, the renovation of palace Huis ten Bosch was estimated at a whopping 35 million euro. This year it was announced that it cost even much more – 63.1 million euro.
That’s 7200 to 9000 euro per square meter (in Dutch): https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/renovatie-huis-ten-bosch-duurder-door-achterstallig-onderhoud~a5c77b17/


The Dutch taxpayers once gave a yacht for present to Princess Beatrix for her birthday - the Groene Draeck.
For many years the yearly maintenance costs for the Groene Draeck cost the tax payer on average 125,000 euro per year. Experts say that the yearly maintenance costs for such a ship are about 32,500 euro.
From 2004 to 2015 alone, the Dutch taxpayer paid 1.5 million Euro on maintenance for the boat (for which 2 boats could have been bought). It is apparently very difficult to find out where this surplus money went: http://www.theroyalforums.com/tag/groene-draeck/
(archived here: http://archive.is/Rygj2)


In 2015, the Dutch government claimed that the Dutch royal family costs the tax payer 40 million euro per year. This is reportedly the most expensive of all Royal families in Europe.
In reality the costs are even much higher, as former minister Gerrit Zalm already in 2009 revealed that they cost some 110 million euro a year. Some estimates are 350 million euro per year in 2018...

Willem-Alexander gets 823,000 euro a year, Máxima 325,000 euro, and Beatrix
465,000 in salary.
Including “expenses”, Willem-Alexander gets 5.3 million, Máxima 900,000 and Beatrix 1.4 million euro.

Staff of the Dutch royal family, 245 people, cost 17 million euro.
Security for the Royal family costs the Ministry of Defence 25 million euro.

The costs for 3 palaces of the royal family - Huis ten Bosch, Paleis Noordeinde en Paleis op de Dam – costs 15 million euro a year.
That is not counting the more than 150 million for the renovations of the palaces...
State visits cost another 2 million euro per year (in Dutch): http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2015/05/20/wat-er-welniet-in-zijn-jaarverslag-staat-a1496445 (archived here: http://archive.is/zzOZ5)

Dutch Royal narco-state

I’ve read a relatively short book in Dutch on the VOC, NHM and the House of Orange as opium lords; Hans Derks – Verslaafd aan opium; De VOC en het Huis van Oranje als drugsdealers (2015).
It shows that the Dutch colonial Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) were really the pioneers in getting the world hooked on drugs and that the wealth of the Dutch Royal family is based on drugs!

Arab Muslims were the first to trade hallucinogenic products, including opium, for medical purposes (including for anesthesia).
The Portuguese that controlled Goa learned about opium from the Arabs, but never made it into a mass products (the fools!) and until the 16th-century opium was never a real problem.

The Dutch Jan Huyghen van Linschoten (1563-1611), while serving as the Protestant Archbishop in Goa, copied secret Portuguese nautical maps that enabled the British East India Company (EIC) and Dutch VOC to take over the Portuguese monopoly on trade with the East Indies.
Van Linschoten, together with his friend Paludanus, published a bestseller in 1598, also translated to English, that included information on opium (called “amphioen” or “taryak” at that time).

At first the Dutch continued to trade in opium, starting at the latest in 1620, at the relatively small scale of the Portuguese until 1660. It is estimated that between 1640 and 1652, Batavia received only some 250 kilogram of opium annually from Surat.
In 1642, the VOC obtained a monopoly from the Sultan to import opium, while the population of the Sultanate was obliged to maintain a fixed number of pepper plants. Around this time VOC officials had the great idea to trade opium for pepper - the East India product with the highest priority until the 19th-century.
The VOC labelled their monopoly an “octroy”, which was defended by military force. The VOC introduced a passport system and if others were caught “smuggling” these goods (opium, spices, tin and cloth), they were confiscated and the “smuggler” severely punished.

In 1663, the VOC started trafficking opium as a mass product in the Malabar coastal region. VOC officials were also involved in some private opium selling. In 1676 the VOC got the exclusive opium import rights in Mataram, in 1678 in Cheribon and a bit later in Bantam (before the British EIC).
In the second part of the 17th century (the “Gouden eeuw”), the Dutch exported Bengal opium not only to the Malabar coast, but also to Southeast Asia (Malacca, Manila, Arakan or the East Indies archipelago), Ceylon, Maldive Islands, Gujarat (Surat, Cambay) and the Persian Gulf/Red Sea (Bandar Abbas, Hormuz or Jeddah). Bengal opium was the VOC’s second-largest profit-maker after raw silk.
This led directly to war and from 1680 to 1740 the amount of junkies coming to Batavia doubled from 10 to 20 per year.
According to official statistics, in 1667 the VOC exported only 1,173 kg; 1675 - 13,322 kg; 1691 - 43,500 kg; 1703 - 60,290 kg; and by the year 1715 - 79,968 kg.
The whole of the 17th-century export to the East Indies from Bengal is estimated at 1.1 million kilograms; this rose to some 5.5 to 6.3 million kilograms in the 18th-century.

The new important man in the VOC opium game was Jacob Mossel (1704-1761). After he arrived in Batavia, the opium profits suddenly trebled from 512,000 to 1,415,00 guilders. After this succes, Mossel was chosen as the successor of Governor-General Van Imhofff, and established the Amphioen Society (AS, amphioen was another name for opium) in 1745 that was active until 1794.
Mossel took 40 shares AS for himself. To have been able to buy these shares, he must have “earned” an amazing 160,000 guilders in only 2 years (since he arrived in Batavia) that could only have come from opium. Jacob Cool (the “Court Jew of Van Imhofff”) originally possessed 30 AS shares, but had to leave 10 to his “favorites”.
To exploit the opium to the utmost, the AS introduced a lease on smoking prepared opium (madat) in districts outside Batavia at the end of 1746. But the opium income actually decreased, because corruption increased.
The AS became the “society” that made all the profits, while the VOC did all the work. The VOC-colonial state remained responsible for the import of opium and the military security in the whole archipelago at the cost of the “taxpayer”. The AS received the opium from the VOC for 1125 guilders per chest and could sell it for 1375 guilders (a profit of more than 22%)...

Most of the wealthy AS shareholders lived in the Netherlands.
An important participant in the Amphioen Society was “stadhouder” Willem IV, who had become a Knight of the Garter in 1733 (and called himself Prince of Orange), who acquired 30 shares AS in 1748. He was promised that by taking this share, in 1755 he would already be 200,000 guilders richer, when the octroy of the AS expired.
Every time the octroy was renewed, Willem IV and his “stadhouder” successor, Willem V, would receive an enormous amount of opium money, e.g. 1.2 million guilders in 1795. All shareholders together pocketed a total of about 13 million guilders; an amount comparable to a present value of about a billion guilders. Willem V made a fortune through the Amphioen Society.
See Willem V, who after being born in 1748, became a Knight of the Garter in 1752.

Because of this remarkable construction, the VOC got weaker. This was followed by the Dutch–English war in 1795, in which Ceylon was lost and the Napoleonic wars in which the Netheralands lost its independence. There was even a large opium debt owed to the EIC and the British easily conquered Java and took over the rest of the East Indian archipelago.
To avoid a transfer into British hands, the Dutch government took over all the VOC shares (a nationalisation of the private VOC) at the cost of the taxpayer.

Another interesting opium family are the Van Hogendorps. The patriarch Willem van Hogendorp (1735-1784) first lost his fortune through investments in the EIC. He then went to the East Indies with his own ship and made a substantial fortune by “officially” smuggling opium. On his return trip to a retire in Holland, he drowned near the Cape of Good Hope because he had overloaded the ship with too much gold on board.

In 1802, Willem V made a deal with Napoleon after he escaped to England.
During the French occupation, Governor-General Daendels (1808-1811) rationalised the distribution of opium and tried to stimulate its consumption by establishing government opium dens. The opium income of the state multiplied nearly 10 times in 1804 and more than doubled in less than 2 years (1809-1810).
Willem’s second son, Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp (1762-1834), became a lawyer and a real “hero” of the Dutch monarchy. After the planned defeat of Napoleon, in 1813 Gijsbert Karel and 2 associates staged a coup to establish the Dutch kingdom with Willem VI crowned King Willem I, who had become a Knight of the Garter in 1814, and Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp as his prime minister.
Often overlooked in this “heroic tale” is that Willem’s eldest son, Dirk van Hogendorp, ultimately became a general in Napoleon’s army. Dirk even appears in Napoleon’s testament!

In 1824, King Willem I founded the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij, NHM (Royal Dutch Trading Company) to take over the looting role of the Amphioen Society. Willem I explained about the NHM:

… its aim is to integrate all branches of industrious activities into one whole, of which the NHM is the nucleus; the Chambers of Commerce, the factories and the agricultural committees are the main branches of this whole …

The Dutch taxpayer had to guarantee a net profit to the NHM of 300,000 guilders annually. King Willem I bought 4 million shares, but was the only one to take his money back quickly, and doubled his investment within 13 years. He also took out 1.3 million too much from the NHM in 1830.
While the NHM initially made a profit of 37 million per year, in a few years’ time only 24 million were left.

The Royal NHM was the state opium dealer for a lease of only 2.6 – 3 million guilders annually and 2/7th of the net profit. From 1847-1849 the total opium income of the Dutch colonial state was 6.7, 6.5 and 6 million guilders respectively. The NHM even reached into China, the largest market for opium. By the 1850s, the opium income constituted 16.8% of the revenue collected in the Indies. Between 1860 and 1910 this level was more or less maintained at an average of 15%.
The NHM under a lucrative contract could also buy other goods (including meat, wheat and flour) and sell them for a profit of 16%.
Until 1921, the head of state King/Queen got a weekly report from the President of the NHM. Later the NHM evolved into the ABN Bank, now part of ABN Amro Bank that still has a warm relationship with the Dutch Royal family.

In 1827, the Netherlands concluded a contract with the Chinese captain Tan Hang Kwee to start tin mining on Billiton, starting with 300 laborers. The Chinese miners were kept enslaved by opium. The House of Orange not only made money from the tin but also from the opium. The Chinese sub-farmer had to buy a fixed quantity of opium every month for much higher than market prices.
In 1852, Prince Hendrik (1820-1879), brother of King Willem III, wanted to invest in the tin mines on Biliton to found the private Billiton Mining Company (BM). John Loudon became Hendrik´s representative. The stupidity of the greedy House of Orange is unbelievable since they already had the highly rewarding 1827 contract from which at least a profit of 100,000 guilders per year would be gained from the Chinese labor.
Many Chinese miners died, in the months of February and March 1860 alone, some 700 Chinese miners died, mainly from beriberi (caused by thiamine deficiency).

In 1884 the Dutch journal for the medical profession was very positive about cocaine with an estimated price of 9,000 Dutch guilders per kilo. The Netherlands started coca plantations on Java around 1885.
A quick calculation shows that this leads to an annual turnover of 1.53 billion Dutch guilders!

Parallel to the Opium Factory, a Cocaine Factory was established. In 1900, in Amsterdam the Nederlandsche Cocaïne Fabriek (NCF) was founded by the Koloniale Bank in which the Royal NHM owned a stake.
The NCF became the largest cocaine factory in the world. It even expanded to other products like codeine, benzedrine (amphetamine), efedrine, and developed the fully synthetic cocaine, novocaine. From 1932 onwards, the NCF also processed raw opium into morphine. Around that time several South American countries became large producers of coca leaves.
During the Anglo-American-Dutch funded Nazi occupation in World War II, the NCF received 165 tons of raw opium for free, and it could charge its processing costs to the state. The NCF realised fabulous profits on its morphine during the war. Soon after the war AKZO Nobel bought the company for an undisclosed amount. How much loot went to Queen Wilhelmina?

The performance of this cocaine industry impressed Merck USA so much that it started its own coca plantation on Java with great success in the 1930s.
The American John Cushing, employed in his uncles’ James and Thomas H. Perkins Company of Boston, acquired his wealth from smuggling Turkish opium to Canton (1812). In 1830, the Perkins Company merged with Russell and Co of the grandfather of President Franklin Roosevelt that was “the third-largest opium dealer on the China coast”. In one of those strange coincidences, the Van Rosenvelt family had first come to America from the Netherlands between 1638 and 1649.

Argentinian website El Cohete a la Luna (Rocket to the moon) has accused our greatly beloved Queen Maxima of not reporting the correct value of her possessions in Patagonia, to evade taxes.
In 2009, Maxima and (now King) Willem-Alexander, bought land in Rio Negro for 1 million euro, but underreported the area and didn´t report that a hotel was built there, so the real value is underestimated (resulting in lower taxes).

Maxima's brother, Martín Zorreguieta, bought half of the reported 3000 hectares of land.
The luxury hotel “Estancia Pilpilcura” located there is run by Máxima's aunt, Marta Cerruti. In December 2016, Argentinian president Macri, a friend of Maxima, spent a night at the hotel.

Dutch parliamentarians have asked Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the university buddy of prins pils Willem-Alexander, for an explanation,

Of course we can’t expect our wonderful media to estimate the worth of these 590 “addresses” and the circuit in Zandvoort and Mediapark. I think it’s safe to estimate the net worth of the 590 addresses at more than 400 million Euros...
In 2009, Forbes magazine estimated Queen Beatrix’s (mother of now King Willem-Alexander) wealth at a low $200 million.

Just 10 years earlier, in 1999, Forbes estimated Queen Beatrix’s worth at £25 billion.
Noting that that a reliable calculation had been made impossible by the Dutch secrecy: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/jun/30/monarchy.world

Yesterday it was announced that King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands invited President Donald Trump to visit the Netherlands for a World War II commemoration on 31 August this year in the “world famous” city of Terneuzen.

It´s a bit strange to invite the US president for this festivity as the operations were mostly by Canadian, British and Polish troops: https://dutchreview.com/news/us/off...r-has-invited-trump-to-visit-the-netherlands/


Since Prince Bernhard co-founded the Bilderberg “Group” in 1954, it´s been controlled by the Dutch Royal family.
None other than Donald’s son-in-law Jared Kushner attends this year’s Bilderberg meeting.

Oltmans, Royals, JFK

For some time I´ve had doubts about the journalist Willem Oltmans, who got awarded 8 million guilders tax free in 2000 because of being the victim of the Dutch State.
Genuine victims of the Dutch government don´t get millions awarded! What speaks even more against Oltmans is that he continued to get much publicity, while he was supposedly targeted.
Oltmans even worked for the Dutch state TV!


The story of Oltmans, is something like that he was first targeted by Joseph Luns in 1956, when he first interviewed President Sukarna of Indonesia.

Oltmans in his 1994 book presents one piece of evidence that he was indeed declared a “persona non grata” that is the 26 November 1962 letter from the Dutch Ministery of Foreign Affairs, which was sent to Dutch Embassies around the world that Oltmans couldn´t use the same facilities as (other) journalists.

That Oltmans wasn´t a “real” victims is shown by his close ties to the Dutch Royal family (that even made sure that he got 8 million from the taxpayer).
Willem Oltmans shared a teacher with Princess Beatrix, G. Büringh Boekhoudt.

Oltmans was part of the group of Paul Rijkens (of Unilever) that was controlled by none other than Bilderberg co-founder Prince Bernhard.
Oltmans often spoke to Emile Konijneburg (of the Rijkens Group), who was also a regular visitor at Palace Soestdijk. Konijneburg was Vice President of the KLM airways, which was linked to Bernhard.

Oltmans was also close to the Philips higher management that was also close to Prince Bernhard.
Oltmans was even a long-time friend of the same Hans Teengs Gerritsen that was involved in getting Prince Bernhard millions in bribes from arms companies, including Lockheed and Northrop.

Oltmans was intimate with the eugenics Club of Rome for which he travelled to their “Cold War” Allies, the Soviet Union.
The Club of Rome was also associated with Princess Beatrix and her late husband Claus and the 1001 Club of Bernhard.

Oltmans was working for Dutch corporate (royal) interests in Sukarno´s Indonesia, where he used his contacts for Dutch multinationals.
He was also involved in setting up a Philips office in the Communist Soviet Union in Moscow.
Oltmans arranged that KLM could resume its flights to Surinam after its independence.

Oltmans was a friend of Pattrick Russell, the attorney that has never released the book of George de Mohrenschildt on the John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy.
He even claims that he got Prince Bernhard invited to talk with President Kennedy and that Bernhard argued that the Netherlands should leave New Guinea immediately!

In 1994, Willem Oltmans (like any other victim of the goverment) was part of the press team accompanying Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers on official trips to South Africa and Indonesia!

Willem Oltmans – Persona non grata (1994), in Dutch: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/oltm003pers02_01/oltm003pers02_01.pdf


If the Dutch government had wanted to destroy Oltmans that would have been quite easy...
Willem Oltmans was gay before that was socially accepted. There are even stories that he molested underage boys!


How ridiculous the “conspiracy story” of Oltmans being the victim of the Dutch government really is, is not only his close connections to the Dutch Royal family but also the background of the Joseph Luns that supposedly destroyed his career.

The lawyer Joseph Luns joined the Dutch Nazis of the NSB in 1933. Luns never even called this a “misjudgment".
The Dutch Royal family was of course involved in financing the Nazis, while Bernhard was an active member of the Nazi party.

Luns, before and after he became minister, worked closely with the protégé of Queen Juliana, the banker Johan Willem Beyen.
Luns was Foreign Minister from 1956 to 1971, when he became NATO Secretary-General until 1984.

Joseph Luns, like Juliana, Bernhard and Beatrix, was also a Knight of Malta.
Between 1964 and 1984, Luns was present at every annual Bilderberg conference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Luns


Here’s more information (FBI files?) on Willem Oltmans, in English, including what he claimed on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It goes on until April 1977, after George de Mohrenschildt reportedly committed suicide on 29 March 1977.

In 1961, Willem Oltmans talked with John F. Kennedy’s special adviser W.N. Rostow.
In 1962, the Dutch UN delegation called Willem Oltmans “an agent of a foreign power”.

In January 1976, De Mohrenschildt wrote Oltmans that he was preparing a book on the JFK assassination.
In June 1976, De Mohrenschildt finished his book but his wife Jeanne de Mohrenschildt didn’t want it published. According to Oltmans, the book was sent to Pat Russell’s office (De Mohrenschildt’s lawyer).

In November 1976, Oltmans went to Dallas and when he called, was told by Jeanne de Mohrenschildt and Pat S. Russell that De Mohrenschildt had been locked up in a mental hospital for months, and tortured with electroshocks for a “persecution complex”.
When they talked, De Mohrenschildt told Oltmans that he was afraid to make a statement while in the US. Oltmans made a deal with his Dutch television superior for a broadcast with De Mohrenschildt.
On 29 March 1977, the House Committee on Assassinations was in Palm Beach to interview De Mohrenschildt, when he died of a reported “suicide”.

On 1 April 1977, Oltmans said:

George de Mohrenschildt told him the alleged conspiracy involved Texas oilmen, Cuban exiles, and CIA and FBI agents...
De Mohrenschildt claimed he was a middleman between H.L. Hunt representing Texas oilmen and Lee Harvey Oswald...
De Mohrenschildt told him Cubans had fired at Kennedy at the same time Oswald did and said he gave the House Assassinations Committee the name and picture of one Cuban he believes was involved.
(...)
[Oltmans] gave the committee a taped interview in which a Cuban exile named Loran Hall claims he was offered $50.000 in the office of ilman Lester Logue to kill Kennedy.

Burning garbage, green energy hoax

In the not so good old swinging 60s, my home town of Amsterdam was dumping and burning toxic waste at the Volgermeerpolder and Diemerzeedijk which has severely damaged the health caused amongst others by dioxin...

It looks like nothing has changed, only these days importing garbage and burning this in Amsterdam is called “green energy”!
The incinerators are placed where the poor survive, so never mind those health effects!

Around a quarter of the waste burned in the Netherlands is imported. This has been going on for 8 years. Most of it came from England and Wales, some 25,000 tonnes of British rubbish every week.
Recently it was reported that new waste imports are limited because 4 of the 6 incinerator of Amsterdam’s AEB are out of order: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2019/...rts-held-up-due-to-waste-processing-problems/


Of course burning garbage produces carbon dioxide, besides toxic emissions.
The 3 largest garbage incinerators of the 12 in the Netherlands are in the top 10 of Dutch companies emitting most carbon dioxide: Attero, AVR and HVC emit about 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
About 80% of the imported waste in the Netherlands comes from Great Britain (in Dutch): https://wisenederland.nl/groene-stroom/dossier-stroom-uit-afvalverbranding


In 2017, 2018, the UK exported a total of 611,000 tonnes of plastic waste to other countries in 12 months (down from 683,000 tonnes in 2016, 2017).
In this period, China almost stopped reprocessing plastic from the UK (the amount dropped by 94%).
Malaysia, Turkey, Poland, the Netherlands and Indonesia import most UK plastic: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46566795
(http://archive.is/qKs2w)

Waste-to-energy plants are expensive, so they generally charge more to accept trash than landfills.
Transporting the garbage across the globe of course also costs energy (but I doubt if any “scientist” takes that into account in their politically correct calculations on “green energy”).


Waste to energy has become a preferred method of rubbish disposal in the EU. In 2013, there were 420 plants in Europe to provide heat and electricity to more than 20 million people.
The European countries that import most garbage are Germany, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands (even more than Norway).

From October 2012 to April 2013, the UK paid to send 45,000 tonnes of household waste from Bristol and Leeds to Norway. Because it’s called climate friendly, Norway – like the Netherlands - accepts rubbish to keep the incinerators burning.
Incinerators in Norway make about half of their profit from the fee paid to take the waste and the rest from the sale of energy: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/14/norway-waste-energy


Great Britain is already building more incinerators, but it is also a concern involving the Brexit hysteria.

Sweden is already thinking on new ways of importing garbage from the UK, as now most of their imported waste comes from Norway that isn´t part of the EU either: https://www.thelocal.se/20181112/sw...eat-homes-but-wheres-the-post-brexit-solution


According to our wonderful media, burning garbage in the developed world is environmentally friendly, but in the Third World it’s pollutive. Never mind that on average those poor countries produce a lot less garbage than us in the developed countries...

Some 1.1 billion tonnes of waste, more than 40% of the world’s garbage, is burned in open piles. While carbon dioxide is the major gas emitted by trash burning, this reportedly amounts to “only” 5% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
There are however some other emissions that should be important health concerns (besides polluting the environment).

About 29% of global emissions of tiny solid particles and liquid droplets from dust to metals that can penetrate deep into the lungs come from trash fires.
About 10% percent of mercury emissions and 40% percent of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) come from open burning.

This pollution can cause lung, neurological diseases, heart attacks and cancer: https://www.climatecentral.org/news/where-trash-is-a-burning-problem-17973

Royal thieves

For the last 40 years, the Dutch taxpayer has paid double to maintain the furniture in the Noordeinde, Huis ten Bosch, Het Loo, and Soestdijk palaces.
This means that our beloved Royal family stole an additional more than 10 million euros from the Dutch taxpayer.

In 1978, then Prime Minister Dries van Agt started initiatives to buy furniture in the palaces from the Royal family.
From 1982 to 2009, the Dutch taxpayer bought palaces furniture above the market price (in the 1980s alone about 20 million guilders, adjusted for inflation about 17 million Euros). Since then, the Royal family has been using the furniture free of charge, while the government is responsible for maintaining the furniture.
According to Van Agt, the payments to the Queen should have decreased, but the head of state still receives compensation for the maintenance until this day.

In 1978, then Queen Juliana received 280,000 guilders for this maintenance.
This year, King Willem-Alexander gets 4.9 million euros for salary and “expenses” (just about all of his expenses are also paid by the taxpayer), of which around 320,000 euros is for palace furniture maintenance.

Government information service Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst first refused to answer NRC's questions about the maintenance and compensation and later simply denied the accusations.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte (who studied history with prins pils Willem-Alexander in Leiden) said that the payment of maintenance and restoration of the palaces is "terribly complicated", but he does not “think” the Royals did anything wrong.

Rutte has since promised an “investigation” into the affair: https://nltimes.nl/2019/09/09/dutch-state-paid-double-palace-furniture-maintenance-40-years-report
(http://archive.is/QrA6j)


King Willem-Alexander receives € 4.86 million per year of which 926.000 euro in salary.
Princesses Máxima and Beatrix receive 633,000 euro and an additional 1 million euro in “expenses” (that are all paid by the taxpayer).

Crown Princess Amalia will receive 263,000 euro in salary and another 1,232,000 euro for “expenses” when she turns 18 in 2021.
Officially the Royal family costs the taxpayer 43.3 million euro per year (in Dutch): https://www.businessinsider.nl/koning-willem-alexander-salaris-2019/


Because the wealth of the family is hidden through trust accounts and foundations it isn’t known how many billions the Dutch Royal family have stolen over the years.
According to prime ministers J. Cals and P. de Jong “[Ithe bulk of the Queen’s fortune is in low- or no-rendering goods like jewels and lands[/I]”.

The Queen’s Treasurer J. Baars (de Thesaurier der Koningin) knows – written more than 10 years ago when Beatrix was Queen - but won’t disclose ‘the secret’.
The Queen’s Treasurer arranges all tax assessments for the complete Royal family (including members of the family like the De Bourbon de Parmes) with the director-general of the Tax Revenue Service, which is kept completely secret.
The Queen’s Treasurer Baars has 2 assistances R.M. Smits and J.G.A. Baron Sirtema van Grovestins and another 18 members of staff.
Smits used to be financial attaché of the Netherlands Permanent Delegation at the NATO headquarters in Brussels and Sirtema van Grovestins was a board member of the Fortis Bank.

It is believed that Queen Wilhelmina set up Funds for each of her grandchildren, worth millions.
Queen Juliana in 1968, created the Fund Functional Costs House of Orange-Nassau “to provide financial supplements to each of the three youngest daughters of Her Majesty Queen Juliana, for the functional costs attached to their position as such”.
This means that Princesses Irene, Margriet and Christina get a handsome amount of money (even though they don’t receive a paycheck from the taxpayer, besides expenses).

All movable and personal properties (including royal jewels) were put into the Foundation Regalia of the House of Orange-Nassau.
State carriages and major valuables were put into the Foundation Crown Properties of the House of Orange-Nassau.
Works of art and the inventory of the royal palaces and residences were put into the Foundation Historic Collections of the House of Orange-Nassau.
Archives, libraries and personal items were put into the Foundation Archives of the House of Orange-Nassau.
It is not even known who serve on the boards of these foundations.

According to the State Budget the palace staff has some 315 members, paid from the Royal Household Service (that’s the taxpayer).
With the addition of the Kabinet der Koningin (Queen’s Office), Koninklijke Houtvesterij (Royal Forestry), the security from the Koninklijke Marechaussee and staff from the Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst (State Information Agency), there are almost 800 servants working directly for the Orange-Nassaus (most if not all paid for by the taxpayer).

In 1813, the income of the King was 1.5 million guilders per year.
In 1848, the income of the King was changed into 1 million guilders plus the revenues from the Crown Domains (so this was much higher).
Later the annual salary was changed to 600.000 guilders for King Willem III.
In 1928, this was doubled to 1.2 million guilders for Queen Wilhelmina.
in the 1950’s, this became 2.5 million guilders for the Queen.

In 1966, the way the finances of the Royal House were reported differently and another change came with the Act financial statute Royal House 1972. The essence of this is that the costs for the royal household aren’t reported as income of the Queen but paid by the state (the taxpayer) directly.
So while this looks like the Queen gets less, she instead received more...

While it’s claimed that King Willem-Alexander pays taxes, in reality there is no evidence that he does, and if he does only for a small part of his fortune: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...-fortune-of-the-dutch-royal-family-14341.html

Mabel, Brinkhorst, and princes Friso and Constantijn

There was once a scandal in the Netherlands called “Mabelgate”.
Shortly after her relationship with the married Mohammed Sacirbey, Mabel Wisse Smit started working for George Soros, and she was introduced in 2000 to Prince Johan-Friso (younger brother of now King Willem-Alexander) by her good friend Laurentien Brinkhorst, now the wife of Friso’s younger brother, Prince Constantijn.
Laurentien and Mabel had known each other from the hockey club.

Mabel lied about her relationship, calling it superficial for only 2 ½ month in 1989, with drug lord Klaas Bruinsma, whose reputation was well known.
Mabel had to admit later that she remained in contact with Bruinsma for 18 months, after she’d supposedly ended their “friendship” in disgust after finding out what he was doing. The end of those 18 months came close to the end of Bruinsma’s life, in a much published assassination. Mabel even was forced to admit that she had slept on Bruinsma’s boat on several occasions, but maintained that they never had sex!
Later it was reported that Mabel had repeatedly stayed with Bruinsma in several high class hotels, including the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam.

Mabel had to admit that she lied to Prime Minister Balkenende, and Friso could only marry her if he gave up his rights to the throne.
Before her interview with Balkenende, Mabel was given her security dossier from Dutch Intelligence the AIVD. In this way she could prepare herself to not contradict what was already known about her colourful past.

Before she graduated in 1993, Mabel had worked on internships with 4 huge organisations: the Secretariat of the UN in New York; Royal Dutch Shell in Malaysia; Ministry of Foreign Affairs at The Hague; and ABN-AMRO Bank in Barcelona.

Reportedly Mohammed Sacirbey and Mabel were making arms deals with Egyptian arm dealers and the infamous Adnan Khashoggi to arm the Bosnian Muslims.
Mabel and Sacirbey have been “investigated” on these illicit weapons sales: http://www.kafkaesqueblog.com/tag/klaas-bruinsma/
(http://archive.is/XZC2r)


Laurentien Brinkhorst’s mother is a long-time friend of then Crown Princess Beatrix, since they studied in Leiden.
Mabel’s friend Laurentien (born in 1966) has said that the first meeting with Prince Constantijn that she can remember occurred in 1985 at Beatrix’s ship the Groene Draeck (Green Dragon), but that their relationship only started in 1995 in Brussels.

Obviously it pays to be friends with the Royal family!
Laurentien Brinkhorst’s father is Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, who was Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1973-1977 for the D66 party.
In 1982-1986, Laurens Jan Brinkhorst was Ambassador of the European Union to Japan.

In 1987-1994, Brinkhorst was Director-General of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety of the European Commission.
In 1994-1999, Laurens was a Member of the European Parliament.

From 1999 to 2002, he was even selected by Beatrix as Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Fisheries.
From 2003 to 2006, he was Minister of Economic Affairs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurens_Jan_Brinkhorst


Another long-time friend of Mabel and Laurentien Brinkhorst, Daniela Hooghiemstra, has confirmed that Mabel and Klaas Bruinsma were intimate. Hooghiemstra was also close to Annette Sekreve, the wife of Prince Bernhard Jr.
Hooghiemstra partied with Mabel in expensive hotels in London and Paris (in Dutch): http://web.archive.org/web/20101203075348/http://www.theovangogh.nl/lux1_40.htm


Mabel’s father, Peter Wisse Smit, reportedly introduced Klaas Bruinsma into the elite circle of the Gooi (around the city of Hilversum).
Peter Wisse Smit was an honorary member of the Hilversumsche Mixed Hockey Club.

At the Hilversumsche Mixed Hockey Club former Member of Parliament for CDA, Hans Hillen, was the president, who remembers Mabel and boyfriend Sacirbey (in Dutch): http://web.archive.org/web/20191130180148/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2003/10/11/koningin-van-europa-7657539-a56227

Three Dutch Nazi collaborators

The following PDF has information on 3 Dutch Nazi collaborators that were corporate executives, and didn’t get punished – Henri Deterding, Paul Rijkens and Frits Fentener van Vlissingen…


Henri Deterding - Royal Dutch Shell
In 1888, Henri Deterding (best known as chairman of Royal Dutch Shell) started working in the Dutch East Indies for the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij (NHM), the opium bank controlled by the Dutch Royal family. In the Dutch East Indies Deterding got acquainted with managing director of Koninklijke Nederlandsche Petroleum Maatschappij (Royal Dutch), J. B. August Kessler.
In 1894, Kessler turned to NHM for a bridging loan for Royal Dutch. After Deterding arranged the NHM loan, Kessler offered the bank-clerk a job at Royal Dutch, where Deterding became a salesman in 1896.

Just before his death, Kessler had expressed his last wish that Deterding would be his successor as chairman of Royal Dutch, which he became in 1901.
In 1903, Royal Dutch entered the German gasoline market with a refinery in Düsseldorf. The German gasoline cartel adopted Royal Dutch as its exclusive supplier instead of Standard Oil. By 1904, Royal Dutch’s German subsidiary, Rhenania, already controlled 90% of the German gasoline market.
In 1902, oil companies Royal Dutch, Bnito, and the Shell Transport & Trading Company (founded by Marcus Samuel) set up an oil cartel, the Asiatic Petroleum Company. After the Asiatic Petroleum Company got in financial troubles in 1906, in 1907 Samuel and Deterding decided on merging their companies to form Royal Dutch Shell, 60% held by the Dutch side and 40% by the British.

In 1911, Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Trust was dismantled and Royal Dutch Shell entered the American market. In the same period the Anglo-Dutch oil company acquired American oil fields and numerous oil concessions and oil companies in Egypt, Mexico, Venezuela, and the Ottoman Empire. With the acquisitions of Rothschilds’ oil company in Russia, Bnito, in 1912 and another Russian company called Mazout, Royal Dutch Shell became the largest oil producer in the Russian Empire. At the outbreak of WW I, Royal Dutch Shell was the largest oil company in the world.
During WW I, the “Shell octopus” supplied both the Germans as the British with oil.

Since the early 1920s, the oil industry had increased output all over the world, which resulted in a price drop.
Deterding’s formed a stabilization pact with its biggest 2 competitors Jersey Standard (where his friend Walter Teagle was chief executive), and the Anglo-Persian (later called Anglo-Iranian, when John Cadman was chairman), which resulted into the “Is-As” agreement. This oil cartel stabilised markets and kept market shares at the 1928 level.
On 16 March 1939, it was reported that Shell chairman Henri Deterding gave 7 ½ million marks to Hitler in 1929: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1340&start=30#p5537

Paul Rijkens - Unilever
From the 1930s until the 1950s, Paul Rijkens was chairman of the Anglo-Dutch Unilever (from 1937 until 1952 called Lever Brothers & Unilever), one of the largest multinationals in Europe.

In November 1927, 2 holding companies were created, the NV Margarine Unie in the Netherlands and the Margarine Union Ltd. in Britain, with an equal distribution of profits between Dutch and British shareholders. Paul Rijkens was appointed to the Board of directors and involved in the huge merger of Lever Brothers and the Margarine Unie, on 2 September 1929.
By 1933, on the eve of Hitler’s rise to power, the forerunners of Unilever were already a business empire inside the German Reich that dominated the German edible fats industry and the single largest foreign direct investor in Germany.

In October 1933, shortly after Nazis had come to power, Francis D’Arcy Cooper and Paul Rijkens of Unilever’s Board had a meeting with Hitler in person to make a deal.
In September 1934 a delegation of representatives of British importers into Germany, led by Rijkens, met with Hjalmar Schacht and Hitler. On behalf of Unilever, Rijkens reached an agreement to place orders for ships with German shipyards and to settle the accounts with “frozen marks” of its German subsidiaries and with imported raw materials. As a result, Unilever could literally ship off its German profits to Britain and the Netherlands.

In 1937, Rijkens was appointed chairman of Lever Brothers & Unilever N.V.
On 9 May 1940, less than a week before the invasion of the Netherlands on 15 May, Rijkens warned the Dutch embassy in London that the German army would attack soon, after a tip from Unilever Board member and close friend to Winston Churchill, Clement Davies.

When the Dutch government was in exile in London, Rijkens became a member of the Extraordinary Advisory Council (Buitengewone Raad van Advies) to the Dutch government and also chaired the Dutch Reconstruction Committee, which discussed the expected post-war problems of the Netherlands.
In London, Rijkens was also a special adviser to Dutch Queen Wilhelmina and was very close to Prince Bernhard.

In 1954 the first Bilderberg Conference was organised by Rijkens and Joseph Retinger, who asked his acquaintance Prince Bernhard to become chairman.
In 1955, Rijkens resigned from Unilever’s Board, but he continued to carry out special operations for the Anglo-Dutch multinational until 1958.


Frederik Fentener van Vlissingen - SHV
In 1905, Frederik Hendrik Fentener van Vlissingen married Sophia Schout Veldhuis, whose twin sister Mies had married SHV’s director in Rotterdam George van Beuningen.
In 1911, Fentener van Vlissingen became managing director of the largest Dutch coal trading company Steenkolen Handels Vereniging N.V. (SHV, the family’s business) and co-financed the establishment of a Dutch Rayon factory Enka. Another financier was his father’s companion in the coal business, the German citizen J. Balthazar.

In 1914, during the First World War, Fentener van Vlissingen was appointed secretary of the National Coal Bureau, to take care of coal rationing during the war. In 1916, it was made public that they had used the national office to make money and it was renamed to the National Coal Rationing.
In 1918, he was appointed in an economic council of the Foreign Ministry (Raad van Bijstand).
In 1920, he was involved in talks about the Coal and Credit Treaty (Tredifina-Kredit) with Germany that involved 200,000,000 guilders in credit from the Netherlands. Part of the deal was that Germany would deliver coal to the Netherlands. One of the clauses in the treaty determined that the coal should come from Fentener van Vlissingen’s company across the German border, Sophia Jacoba.

Frederik Fentener van Vlissingen was closely involved in establishing of new innovative firms like Dutch Steel (Hoogovens), Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM), and aircraft manufacturer Fokker.
The German Enka financer Balthazar had also participated in the establishment of the largest manufacturer of artificial silk in Germany, Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken AG (VGF).
In 1929, VGF got into financial trouble and the much smaller Enka acquired nearly all shares of VGF. During the 1930s, the Dutch side acquired an ever greater part of the company.

In the 1930s, Fentener van Vlissingen arranged a merger between Enka and VGF forming one of the largest artificial fibres manufacturers in the world, into the Dutch parent company AKU.
After the Nazi take-over, Fentener van Vlissingen as president of the Advisory Board remained in power of AKU.

By 1938, Fentener van Vlissingen was managing director of SHV and on top of that a member of advisory boards of more than 40 firms, including Royal Dutch Steelworks, Algemeene Kunstzijde Unie (AKU), Vereinigte Stahlwerke, Fokker and KLM.

As Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce, Fentener van Vlissingen met Hitler in 1934 and 1937, when he was decorated with the Order of the German Eagle.
In 1937, Fentener van Vlissingen was asked by the German Emil Helfferich to establish a Dutch organisation to form business ties between Nazi Germany and the Netherlands.

See Prince Bernhard (in uniform, friend of the Fentener van Vlissingen family), talking to W. Graadt van Roggen, with F.H. Fentener van Vlissingen on the far right, at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, 14 March 1940.

Frederik Fentener van Vlissingen had business ties to leading Ruhr industrialists and the Deutsche Bank, and Hermann Josef Abs in particular.
In the Netherlands, he was never persecuted for economic collaboration. In 1945, Fentener van Vlissingen was even appointed chairman of a committee to purge Dutch business of Nazi collaborators: https://www.degruyter.com/downloadpdf/books/9783110443509/9783110443509-016/9783110443509-016.pdf

Fentener van Vlissingen, Nazi collaboration, Rost van Tonningen

The Fentener van Vlissingen family was (is?) one of richest 3 of the Netherlands. Obviously it pays to be close to the Royal family and collaborate with the Nazis.


During the first half of the 1920s, the Dutch Enka (N.V. Nederlandsche Kunstzijdefabriek) set up the international holding company Maekubee (Society for the exploitation of artificial silk factories abroad). This company took over 2 factories in Italy, and set up new factories in Britain and Germany. In 1929, after the American patents of Viscose Company had expired, Enka also set up the American Enka Corporation in the US.

In 1925, German VGF (Vereinigte Glanzstoff Fabrieken A.G) had formed a joint venture with the British Courtaulds, one of the biggest players on the world market for viscose, GlanzstoffCourtaulds GmbH in Cologne.

In 1929, the Dutch Enka and German VGF merged and became part of the Dutch holding company AKU (Algemeene Kunstzijde Unie). Both conglomerates sides were multinationals before the merger, with affiliates in the Italy, UK and the US. The Deutsche Bank played a big role in the establishment of the new holding company AKU. Most of AKU’s production was located in Germany.
In 1929, 60% of the AKU shares had been in the hands of Germans. In 1931 and 1934, German shareholders started to sell their AKU shares at the Berlin stock market. With permission of the Reichsbank, AKU acquired its own shares paid for by its German profits, which were transferred to the Netherlands.
By the end of the 1930s the Dutch side owned 70% of the AKU shares.

After the outbreak of war in September 1939, Fentener van Vlissingen was already thinking ahead, fearing that his assets could be seized by the Trading with Enemy regulation in the Allied countries and stated:

Therefore it is for the AKU of utmost importance, that as long as the war lasts, the neutral, i.e. Dutch character of the company, should be highlighted. The import of raw materials as well as the export of our products would be seriously damaged.

It was decided that during the war all German members of the Advisory and Executive Board of the AKU, and all Dutch in VGF’s Advisory Board would withdraw.
At this time Hermann Abs of the Deutsche Bank and Fentener van Vlissingen appointed as German trustee in the German boards to represent the Dutch side, Stephan Karl Henkell, Fentener van Vlissingen’s son-in-law and Von Ribbentrop’s brother-in-law. After his death in June 1940 he was succeeded by Werner Carp in VGF’s advisory board.

In 1939, the Nazi regime replaced all 4 German AKU supervisory board members, which included Abs and Ernst Helmutt Vits of the reichseigenen Treuhandgesellschaft Treuarbeit. In April 1940, one month before the German invasion of the Netherlands, Vits was appointed VGF’s general director, supported by the chairman of AKU’s supervisory board Frederik Hendrik “Frits” Fentener van Vlissingen.
AKU continued manufacturing until 1944.

During the German occupation of the Netherlands, the German Golddiscontobank acquired a large amount of AKU shares on the Amsterdam stock exchange. At the end of the war around 60% of all AKU shares were in German hands.
AKU built 2 new factories in the Netherlands. The 10 million guilders investment in German machines was paid for by Deutsche Bank by buying Dutch AKU shares.

It wasn’t quite clear whether AKU was a German or Dutch company, although this question really doesn’t seem to matter during the German occupation of the Netherlands. This also applied to AKU’s and VGF’s subsidiaries in Britain and the United States (North American Rayon Corp., American Bemberg Corp. and American Enka Corp).

After the end of the Second World War, the Dutch government eliminated enemy stockholders and transferred the AKU shares held by Germans to the State of the Netherlands. In this way, the Netherlands took an additional profit from the Germans buying AKU shares during the occupation of the Netherlands.
In 1953, AKU and VGF reached a deal over some complaints that the Dutch had taken advantage of the German stockholders that had been disowned. AKU offered DM 20 million VGF stocks via a German bank consortium to these former AKU shareholders, for DM 102, whilst they had a market value of DM 160. As a consequence, AKU’s participation in its German subsidiary fell from 99 to 76%: http://www.worldbhc.org/files/full program/C7_D7_Wubs_Restrictions_2014.pdf

When students were arming themselves to fight against the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Radio Oranje from London called on them to stop this irresponsible behaviour.

Frederik “Frits” Fentener van Vlissingen was effectively in control of major Dutch companies like SHV, KLM, Hoogovens, Werkspoor (now called Stork) and AKU (now called Akzo Nobel).

During both World Wars, Frits was trading with Germany and he also assisted the Nazis to set up new companies.
Frits Fentener van Vlissingen and his associate D.G. van Beuningen were never convicted for collaborating with the Nazis. D.G. van Beuningen was a regular guest at the notorious Round House of Nunspeet, like Queen Wilhelmina’s husband Prince Hendrik.
See Princess, later Queen, Juliana with Frits Fentener van Vlissingen.

In September 1944, Frits Fentener van Vlissingen already knew that the Nazis were destined to lose, so as a front started working with the resistance, and since then has claimed that he had only served in the Dutch best interest, while making a handsome profit for himself.
Somebody had obviously ratted out on a resistance meeting (I certainly have a prime suspect!), but while many of the resistance members were executed, for some reason Frits Fentener van Vlissingen was released unharmed.

Not only was he not punished by the Dutch authorities after WW II, Frits even was chosen for the commission to punish “collaborators”, like the grocer selling food to the Germans, while the elite collaborators were awarded knighthoods for their wonderful work in rebuilding the Netherlands.
The Fentener van Vlissingen family also had a director on the board of the Dutch central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (in Dutch): https://herstelderepubliek.wordpres...-van-grootcollaborateur-tot-grootinquisiteur/

During the Second World War, the Vlisco textile factory in Helmond made propaganda flags and armbands decorated with Swastikas for the German Nazis.
Vlisco was directed by the brothers Jan and Piet Fentener van Vlissingen (in Dutch): https://www.ed.nl/helmond/duitse-oorlogsvlag-van-vlisco~a0e0067c/


The ex-husband of Princess Margarita, cousin of Willem-Alexander, Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn has made some less than flattering statements on his (former) in-laws.

In 1926, Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Hallbach contacted Frits Fentener van Vlissingen to be a “front” for the German weapons industry in the Netherlands, through the Hollandse Industrie en Handelsmaatschappij (later named Siderius).
AKU was so close to the German Nazis that Hermann Abs (Deutsche Bank) and Kurt von Schröder (J.H. Stein bank, Cologne) were AKU executives.

Frits Fentener van Vlissingen’s daughter, Line, was married to Stephan Henkell, brother-in-law of Nazi minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
Fentener van Vlissingen was also close to IG Farben, which introduced him in 1934 to Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld in Berlin (who later became Prince Bernhard, husband of Queen Juliana).

Fentener van Vlissingen as commissionaire and Prince Bernhard as director of KLM were involved in smuggling German Nazi war criminals to South America, from the airports of Schiphol (the Netherlands) and Frankfurt (Germany).
In 1948, with the full knowledge of the Dutch ministry of Foreign affairs (or should we say participation?) the Royal KLM transported top-Nazis to Argentina.

In 1946, Jan Fentener van Vlissingen took in Grimbert, the son of the leader of the Dutch Nazi party NSB Meindert Rost van Tonningen, to live in the house of his family. Queen Juliana was a regular visitor of the house.
Meindert Rost van Tonningen had been president of the Dutch Central Bank during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, and according to his “black widow”, Florrie Rost van Tonningen had been “suicided” because he knew too much on the dirty dealings of the Dutch elite. Florrie Rost van Tonningen received a widow’s pension from the Dutch state until her death in 2007, as her late husband had been a Dutch MP for the Nazi party (from 1937 to 1945).

Florrie Rost van Tonningen (born Heubel) was also the second cousin of Jan Fentener van Vlissingen.
The brother of Meindert Rost van Tonningen, Nico, had been an adviser to Queen Wilhelmina from 1930 to 1948. In 1948, Nico Rost van Tonningen became adjudant-generaal to Queen Juliana.

Grimbert Rost van Tonningen later lived with Secretary of Queen Juliana, Jan van der Hoeven.
Grimbert Rost van Tonningen became a successful businessman, working for Fentener van Vlissingen and most crucially involved in the takeover of the Dutch media network PCM (with amongst others the newspapers De Volkskrant, Trouw and NRC Handelsblad) by APAX-UK in 2007, for a handsome commission of 3 million Euro.

In 2003, NPM Capital (the private equity firm of the SHV of the family Fentener van Vlissingen) acquired 70% of arguably the most important Dutch news agency ANP, a media conglomerate that includes PCM Uitgevers, Telegraaf Media Groep and Wegener. Within a year NPM, sold 15% of the shares to the private equity firm Halder (subsidiary of the Belgian investment company GIMV).
In 2007, NPM and Halder acquired an additional stake in ANP, resulting in both owning 43.75% of its shares.

In 2010, Vereniging Veronica acquired all shares in ANP.
And in 2018, ANP was bought by the Talpa Network of John de Mol Jr. (in Dutch): http://www.zozeg.nl/anp/anp.html

If you go due East of Hanover Germany you will find it . It is where they make the Heineken Dark .

We're west from those Germans, who have imitated our beautiful language.
The video in the Original Post explains this (most of it is in English)…

We’ve built an entire ocean between us and Mexico ... and we’ve made the Mexicans pay for it.
We’ve got the best taxes; put all your businesses here, and you won’t have to pay any taxes (0, zip, nothing)…

I've been to Amsterdam its a very pretty city.

I smoked weed in the Bulldog cafe and was sleeping alot so I don't remember much.

Nazi Bernhard, Argentina, Peron

In 1963, Prince Bernhard received 1 million of the 275 million DM Germany paid to Nazi victims. That was despite the fact that Bernhard had not in any way suffered any income loss.
Minister of Foreign Affair Joseph Luns, who arranged the deal, promised Bernhard that if anybody would find out, it would simply be denied, as usual (in Dutch): http://web.archive.org/web/20081205072113/http://www.nrc.nl/binnenland/article1908496.ece/Duits_geld_heimelijk_naar_prins_Bernhard


That wasn’t the last time that Prince Bernhard got compensation money…

In 1974, Poland paid the Netherlands 8 million guilders as compensation for Dutch citizens after the Communist takeover.
Bernhard demanded 1 million of that money for the loss of Reckenwalde. Bernhard was furious when he got only 150,000 guilders of that money, after which he received “only” 75,000 after taxes.

Another strange tale is that 3 years after Bernhard’s mother, Princess Armgard, died; in 1974 he sold her Castle Warmelo with an estimated worth of $45 million for a mere $1 million to the Evlyva Trust in Liechtenstein.
Evlyva was fully owned by the International Credit Bank (ICB), chaired by Bernhard’s good friend, banker, Mossad agent Tibor Rosenbaum, who was also part of the management team of the World Wildlife Foundation and the 1001 Club, both chaired by Bernhard at the time (in Dutch): http://web.archive.org/web/20041223024146/http://www.degezonderoker.nl/zwitsersekaas_5.html



Interestingly in January 1937, it was reported in the Dutch press that Prince Bernhard had been a bodyguard of Adolf Hitler (in Dutch): https://gerard1945.wordpress.com/20...tlers-lijfwacht-in-een-prins-der-nederlanden/


See Bernhard and his wife, Crown Princess Juliana, on the boat “Piet Hein” with a Nazi flag in the mast, summer 1938…



In 1910, a far relative of Bernhard, Schaumburg-zur Lippe, bought estancia San Ramón, about 10 miles from Bariloche.
In 1915, Wilhelm Canaris was hosted at San Ramón; years before he became Hitler’s Abwehr chief (while reportedly working for the Allied forces). Canaris had been captured in 1914 in Chile, when Germany fought against Britain at the Falkland Islands. Canaris and a small group “escaped” (was he recruited by British Intelligence at the time?) to Bariloche, where he was warmly received at San Ramón.

In 1926, San Ramón was bought by the German company Treuhand, which later became the business part of the Nazi party NSDAP, and later sold to the brothers Dietrich and Christel Lahusen from Bremen, who together with Prince Stephan von Schaumburg-zur Lippe, adviser to the German Embassy in Buenos Aires, made San Ramón into a centre of “German” espionage activity.
The Argentine politician Silvano Santander accused Schaumburg-zur Lippe and the brothers Lahusen, of working for the German Nazis. In 1941, an investigation was started that was halted in 1943 through the actions of Juan Perón (who later became Argentine President).

Horst Alberto Carlos Fuldner, formerly of the SS, together with former Gestapo offices Erich Priebke founded the Asociación Cultural Germano-Argentina in Bariloche. Fuldner was sentenced as a war criminal by the Nuremberg tribunal. In Argentina Fuldner had a high position in the first Perón administration. In Córdoba, he founded the Fuldner Bank.
In the province of Córdoba there had been a large Nazi activity even before WW II. The brothers Walter and Ullrich Eichhorn ran the large hotel Eden in La Falda (in Córdoba). The Eichhorns had already been financing Hitler in 1925. Hitler later invited the Eichhorns for special festivities of the Nazi NSDAP party in Nuremberg.

In 1951, Prince Bernhard visited Argentina.
At this occasion former Dutch member of the SS Willem Sassen acted as interpreter. Sassen also arranged a meeting between Bernhard and Klaus Barbie (which was already reported in 1984).

See Bernhard, Evita Peron, with Wim Sassen standing in the background.

According to a former adviser to Juan Peron, Pedro Bianchi, during his first term as president alone he sold 2000 passports and 8000 blank IDs to Nazis. Bianchi boasted that Peron made $6 million from this business.
Between 1945 and 1955 an estimated 80,000 Germans, Austrians and Croatians started a new life in Argentina. About 15,000 of them did this with false IDs.

Evita Duarte Perón was also personally involved in the profitable “rat lines” business. In 1947, Evita travelled to Europe, where she met Franco and Skorzeny’s allies in Spain, Pope Pius XII and representatives of the Swiss government.
In Bern, Switzerland, a secret emigration agency was started, led by the previously mentioned Argentinean born Carlos Fuldner. The rich could arrange their flight to Argentina for about $50,000, while the less wealthy, could travel in one of the ships of the Uruguayan Alberto Dodero, a personal friend of Juan and Evita Perón (in Dutch): https://www.groene.nl/artikel/laatste-tango-in-bariloche
