New Information on the Natalee Holloway Case

The following article about Joran van der Sloot and the Natalee Holloway case appeared in a Papiamentu-language outlet in Aruba. Papiamentu is a creole language derived from Portuguese and influenced by Spanish, Dutch, and African languages.

Gary Fouse, who counts Papiamentu as one of his languages, has translated the piece. He says:

This article in Papiamentu appeared in Diario (Aruba). Note that my translation of two phrases in English with Papiamentu translation is a tiny bit different from their translation.

In 2002, I published a book on the history of this creole language. If you know Spanish, it can literally be learned in weeks as the grammar is simplified. In doing my research, I had to learn to read Dutch since most of the literature on Papiamentu is in Dutch.

The translated article:

NY Post publishes alleged new information related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway

Email that Joran sent a few days after the disappearance…

Oranjestad (Aruba). On Sunday, The New York Post made a publication that drew attention, and this time, referring to Joran van der Sloot, they say there is new information in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

As everyone knows, Joran van der Sloot, who at that time in 2005 was 17 years old, became the principal suspect in the disappearance of the young American (18), Natalee Holloway, who came to Aruba during her spring break vacation.

On Sunday, The New York Post posted that the principal suspect in the unsolved case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and his father rented a boat and “took care of things” (they took care of everything), this, according to an email recently obtained that was sent two days after the disappearance of the teenager.

According to the New York Post, a few days after the disappearance of the Alabama girl, Van der Sloot sent an email to a man he identified as “David G.” stating, “My father looked for a boat two days later.” (My Dad got a boat two days later).

This is the “breaking news” that The New York Post published Sunday in connection with this case. More new information remains pending which will be released in the coming days to confirm or rule out the information mentioned above.

Jihad in Charleroi

A “Belgian” culture-enricher has been convicted of being a terrorist leader for supporting the Islamic State.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Belgian news portal 7sur7:

“He was advocating for the Islamic State”: 50 months in prison demanded for terrorist activity as leader

On Monday afternoon, before the 6th chamber of the Charleroi Criminal Tribunal, the federal prosecutor’s office requested a sentence of 50 months in prison without opposing a probationary suspension for Alimcham M. The defendant, born in 2004, is charged with three offenses related to terrorism as a leader. He is contesting his having played the role of leader.

September 25, 2023

On November 12, 2020, Federal Judicial Police in Charleroi (PJF) were alerted by French authorities to the opening of a case following the report of an Instagram account making propaganda for terrorism and notably posting messages of support for the attack perpetrated against Samuel Paty on October 16, 2020 in France. This account belongs to a mother of three children. Alimcham M., one of the sons, aged 16 at the time, is the user of this account. He was arrested and placed in IPPJ (Wallonia youth facility) on February 11, 2021.

“Support for the Islamic State”

The seizure of computer material belonging to the family illustrates the terrorist activities of the defendant. “There are thousands of video files, photos, and even messages. He supports the Islamic State and incites people to commit terrorist attacks. The radicalization of the defendant is at an advanced stage,” noted the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. The young man contests his having participated in the activities of a terrorist group as leader. According to the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, he tried to recruit young candidates at ages of under 16 for a terrorist project abroad or to attack police or civilians in France or Belgium with a Kalashnikov.

A sentence of 50 months in prison was demanded for the defendant, without opposing a probationary suspension. The defense has requested simple probation.

A verdict is expected on October 23.

No Place to Lay My Head

High energy costs and excessive regulation mean that building new housing in Germany is no longer cost-effective for construction firms.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Climate protection is exacerbating housing shortages

Unprofitable: Vonovia stops building housing

Heat pumps, insulation madness and inflation make building unaffordable. Therefore, the largest German housing group is now stopping the completion of urgently needed living space.

Berlin

Nothing is needed as urgently as housing — also in connection with the record immigration of asylum seekers. But now Germany’s largest real estate group Vonovia is canceling the construction of tens of thousands of apartments.

The high interest rates and construction costs, driven by ever new climate protection measures, make housing construction unprofitable. “We have plans for a total of 60,000 apartments in the drawer,” said Vonovia CEO Rolf Buch to the Funke newspapers. “We get everything ready up to the building regulations. And hope that building will soon be worthwhile and profitable again. Then we want to start building again immediately.” According to the Ifo Institute, 12% of all construction companies are now in financial difficulties.

Vonovia boss: We need millions of new apartments

Buch is aware of the explosive nature of the company’s decision. From his point of view, there is currently a lack of more than a million apartments in Germany. “My estimate is: We need 700,000 apartments a year, also because of increasing immigration.” So the problem is not one million apartments, but several million apartments that are missing in a very short period of time.

The construction industry recently criticized the federal government’s planned tightening of the EH-40 energy efficiency standard for new buildings. This requires even greater insulation and is seen as a further cost driver.

Construction costs would drive basic rents to €20 [per square meter]

A Vonovia spokeswoman also said that construction costs used to be €3,000 per square meter, but today they are €5,000. “Our average rent in the existing building is around €7.50, and many people with medium or low incomes live here. That’s why we pay attention to affordable rents of around €10 to €12, even for new buildings.”

The high construction and financing costs would therefore lead to a basic rent of €20 per square meter in the new building. “But many people can no longer afford that,” it said.

Western Women, Wake Up! Islam Is Not Your Friend

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Women Under Sharia

Western Women, Wake Up! Islam Is Not Your Friend

by Clare M. Lopez

“Egypt: Muslim stabs his sister in the neck, killing her, because she got engaged without his consent” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, September 14, 2023

  • In observant Islamic communities, women are not independent actors but subservient their entire lives to a male: father, brother, son… who are raised to believe they have the right to complete control over the lives of women in their family. Even state-level criminal codes in many Islamic countries treat so-called “honor” crimes very leniently.

“Anti-Islamic State (ISIS) Outlet Publishes ISIS Internal Document Discussing Measures Taken To Deal With ‘Female Slaves’ Who Suffer From AIDS In Group’s Mozambique Province — Pro-ISIS Outlet Asserts Authenticity Of Document”, Middle East Media Research Institute, August 17, 2023

  • This is definitely an odd one. An online channel affiliated with Al-Qa’eda but opposed to the Islamic State (IS) got access to an IS document dated January 9, 2022. The document describes how female slaves who’d been given to IS fighters in should be treated if found to have contracted AIDS. Enslavement of these women and their forced marriages to IS fighters is considered normal and taken for granted. If testing shows they have AIDS, however, the marriages are dissolved, and the women are then married off to an IS fighter who likewise has AIDS. They can also be offered for ransom or killed if they refuse to become Muslims.

“UK: Previously deported Muslim migrant rapist brutally beats, rapes 66-year-old London woman” by Christine Douglass-Williams at Jihad Watch, September 12, 2023.

  • Over the last decades, Western European countries have opened their borders to untold thousands of unvetted migrants, many from Islamic societies whose moral codes are at complete odds with rule of law in Europe. Muslim men now prey regularly upon women of all ages across the continent. Under Islamic Law (sharia), sexual assault against infidel women is completely permissible.

“UK: Muslim father urged to flee country to avoid being ‘mistreated for being Muslim’ after killing his daughter” by Christine Douglass-Williams at Jihad Watch, September 12, 2023

  • After murdering his 10-year-old daughter, this Pakistani father was advised to flee Britain, lest he “would be mistreated for being Muslim”. No, he would not be “mistreated for being Muslim”, but he might face the legal consequences for murder in a civilized country. Of course, under Islamic Law (sharia), a father faces absolutely no consequences for killing his own child.

Bloodbath Averted at the Bahnhof

A “Viennese” teenager was planning a terrorist attack with a knife at the main railway station in Vienna, but abandoned his plan at the last minute. The misguided youth had previously declared his devotion to the Islamic State. It’s not clear why he changed his mind.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Austrian news portal Heute:

16-year-old on verge of knife bloodbath at railway station

by Rene Findenig
September 19, 2023

Gruesome details to come to light on the revealed attack plans of a 16-year-old in Vienna. The young man canceled the plan shortly before the crime.

Over the weekend, a frightful report caused a stir. The Office for Protection of the Constitution had been investigating a 16-year-old Islamist (originally, there was talk of a 17-year-old), who in a chat group, reportedly expressed concrete attack plans in Vienna. According to the Interior Ministry, the young Austrian also shared a picture of himself that showed him in relevant clothing with a combat knife in his hand, while, with the other hand, he is giving the ISIS sign. He himself described himself as a strict Islamic believer and also loudly confessed the attack plans in his interrogation.

Now the gruesome details are becoming known — and just how narrowly the federal capital escaped an attack. As Der Standard reports, the 16-year-old had planned to set off a firework at the Vienna Central Railway Station, and then stab the fleeing people with a knife. Shocking. The 16-year-old actually stood in the Vienna Central Train Station with a knife “with a longer blade” and a firework but broke off his plan in the last second. Instead, the young man went to a mosque and spent the night there.

The ECJ Says: Let Them All In

The current hard left German government is ideologically opposed to turning away migrants, regardless of what any EU rules might say. However, a new ruling by the European Court of Justice mandates that all migrants who enter a member state from another EU country must be allowed to stay. This means that any future government, even one that is less insane and not so corrupt, will find its hands tied. There’s nothing they can do: the culture-enrichers must stay.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

ECJ ruling

Germany is no longer allowed to turn back migrants

Triumph for Interior Minister Faeser: The ECJ has banned the rejection of migrants at the EU’s internal borders. This means that controls are pointless. All gates are open.

Luxembourg

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has declared the rejection of migrants at internal EU borders to be unlawful. This means that Germany must accept every foreigner who enters the country illegally and may not send them back to the EU country from which they crossed over the border.

The demands for controls at the borders with Poland and the Czech Republic are therefore invalid. They won’t do anything anymore. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) had so far stubbornly rejected this border protection, while the AfD and the Union [CDU+CSU] demanded it.

Migrants may not be sent back immediately

In its ruling, the ECJ justified its decision by saying that rejections apply “as soon as a third-country national remains on the territory of a Member State following his illegal entry.” The judges followed a lawsuit from French asylum rights organizations. [What? Wasn’t there something like when asylum seekers passed through a safe third country that they then had to be sent back? Well, I’m sure the German government will object to this strongly… NOT.]

Such rejections are not compatible with European law. In principle, those who entered illegally must be given a certain deadline for voluntary departure. Forced deportation should only be used as a last resort.

So far, controls have only been carried out at the Austrian border

The ECJ has made it clear that different rules apply at the internal borders than at the EU’s external borders. A migrant who crosses the border into Germany, for example, is considered to have entered the country. He may not be rejected even if he does not apply for asylum.

So far there have only been controls at the border with Austria. Many migrants therefore switched to neighboring countries to the east and immigrated to Germany. Most recently, the interior ministers of Saxony and Brandenburg, Armin Schuster and Michael Stübgen (both CDU), demanded that Faeser also control the borders with Poland and the Czech Republic in order to be able to turn back illegal immigrants directly at the borders.

Here We Go Again

If you live on the East Coast, you’ve probably heard about Tropical Storm Ophelia, which came up through the Carolinas and is now in the process of looping through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.

The real action is pretty far away from Schloss Bodissey, but still, we’re getting a lot of rain, and some gusty winds, so anything is possible. If the lights go dark at Gates of Vienna tonight, that’s almost certainly the reason.

I went out late this afternoon and didn’t see any trees or big branches down, so I’m not really worried. On the other hand, the phone company’s antiquated equipment may decide that this is a good time to crap out. It wouldn’t be the first time.
