Contrasting Experiences: Smedema in the Netherlands vs. America
Hans Smedema's blog posts highlight a stark contrast between his experiences in the Netherlands and America, particularly regarding his pursuit of justice and recognition of his claims of a conspiracy.
In the Netherlands, Smedema describes encountering consistent obstruction, disbelief, and a refusal to investigate his allegations.
He accuses the Dutch government, including the Royal Family, of actively working to silence him and protect those allegedly involved in the conspiracy [1-22].Blocked Access to Information and Legal Representation:
- Smedema repeatedly emphasizes the difficulty of obtaining information and legal assistance in the Netherlands. He claims that the Dutch "WOO" freedom of information law is used to deny the existence of any records about him, hindering his ability to gather evidence [23]. Additionally, he states that lawyers consistently refuse to represent him, citing pressure, conflicts of interest, or the complexity of his case [13-18, 24-36].
Disbelief and Invalidation from Authorities and Family:
- Smedema expresses frustration with the lack of belief from Dutch authorities and even his own family. He claims that he was subjected to forced medical interventions, including brainwashing and drugging, intended to discredit him and portray him as mentally unstable [17, 18, 24, 27-33, 37]. He also accuses his family of participating in the conspiracy and actively working against him [16, 27, 33, 37-39].
Fear and Silence:
- Smedema attributes the lack of support and witnesses willing to come forward to fear and intimidation [3, 6, 20, 34, 40, 41]. He suggests that people are afraid to speak out against the alleged powerful forces involved in the conspiracy.
Forced Exile:
- Feeling threatened and unable to find justice in the Netherlands, Smedema describes being forced into exile in Spain [5, 16, 18, 21, 30, 35, 40, 42-46]. He portrays this exile as further isolating him and hindering his ability to fight for his rights.
In contrast, Smedema portrays America as initially receptive to his claims, conducting a thorough investigation and finding validity in his allegations.
He repeatedly praises the professionalism and support he received from American officials, particularly Immigration Judge Rex J. Ford and President Obama [1-9, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 31, 36-38, 41, 44, 47-66].Thorough Investigation and Validation:
- Smedema emphasizes that the FBI and CIA conducted a comprehensive investigation into his claims during his first asylum request in 2009 [1, 3, 4, 23, 44, 49, 53, 54, 61-63]. He highlights that this investigation concluded that his claims of persecution in the Netherlands were valid, although they lacked sufficient evidence of direct government involvement [3, 19, 40, 47, 49].
Five Grounds for Asylum:
- Smedema repeatedly points to Judge Ford's statement that his case was unique in American history, as he was found to have five valid grounds for asylum [3, 19, 47, 56, 63-66]. This, he argues, demonstrates the credibility of his claims in the eyes of the American legal system.
Presidential Support:
- Smedema highlights President Obama's alleged involvement in his case, stating that Obama ordered the Department of Justice to prepare a complaint against the Netherlands to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council or as a special procedure under the UN Convention Against Torture [7, 10, 11, 23, 41, 52, 53, 55, 67]. He views this as a significant validation of his claims and a testament to America's willingness to challenge the Dutch government on his behalf.
Asylum Offer and Subsequent Blocking:
- Smedema describes a dramatic incident in which Judge Ford allegedly offered him asylum while being deported on a KLM flight in 2017 [4, 7-10, 41, 48, 50, 51, 53, 57, 60, 67]. However, he claims that King Willem-Alexander, who was co-piloting the flight, corruptly blocked this offer [4, 41, 47, 51, 57]. This incident, he argues, solidified his belief in America's support and highlighted the lengths to which the Dutch government would go to silence him.
